Chapter 3 Local tyrants
"The scenery of the imperial capital, thousands of miles of dust, thousands of miles of dust. γNo pop-up window.γLooking inside and outside the ancient city, the fog is reckless. Above and below the tall buildings, the haze is surging. The car dances with a long snake, and the chimney is all over the place, and the desire is higher than the poisonous gas. On Saturdays and Sundays, look at the mouth and nose tightly, and beg for mercy at home. The air is so bad that countless citizens are afraid of it. The fog is full of martial arts, and it has long been stepped on by me, and the reputation of the gray city is no longer coquettish. A generation of Tianjiao, CCTV pants, only to see the trouser legs without the waist. In the past, a number of tragic characters, but also look at the present. β
"The farthest distance in the world is not the distance between life and death, but I hold your hand on the streets of the imperial capital, but I can't see you. β
"Anyway, I went to the park on a date. After waiting for a long time and not seeing my girlfriend come, I called and said that she was also sitting in that chair. As soon as I touched a beautiful woman in a fur coat next to me, I kissed it for a while, and found that it was a husky dog. β
"Do you know what the most cola is?"
Li Moyang smiled: "I don't know." β
"The most enjoyable thing is that one day a few of our buddies had a drink and chatted, and when it came to the smog, A said: The haze is too big, I went to the Olympic Village to walk a circle of dogs, come back to see, wipe it! B said: Yes, that day I went to a small school in Zhongguancun to pick up my children from school, and I brought someone else's son back...... C yelled that it was not good and rushed out. Everyone is puzzled. Ding said: His daughter-in-law went to Xidan today to buy clothes, and she hasn't come back yet...... Haha, laugh at me, laugh at me......"
The thick-necked master laughed out of tears, Li Moyang also smiled forward and backwards, and after laughing, the sorrow of the balls ......
"Master, you are really an optimist!"
"Hehe, people, life is so tired, crying is also a day, laughing is also a day, sorrow is also a day, joy is also a day, so why not choose a way to make yourself most comfortable." What do you say?"
After a long time of the car arriving at Du Baogang's villa community, Li Moyang paid for the fare, and the thick-necked master habitually opened his mouth and said: "Thank you, you have a great chat, you are welcome to the imperial capital!"
"Hehe, I don't dare to come, next time I come, I need to bring a gas mask, hehe. β
Li Moyang came to the door of the villa, and then realized that he had misunderstood, this is not the kind of villa community where a bunch of villas are gathered together, but an independent villa.
I'll wipe it, local tyrants! Down with local tyrants!
The villa covers an area of several hundred acres, behind which is a hill, where the haze is very thin, and there is a smell of negative oxygen ions, a good place to recuperate, Li Moyang has a new understanding of Du Baogang's financial resources.
A man in his fifties walked over in the distance and smiled from afar: "Gongzi Li is here!"
It is Du Baogang, this guy has black cloth shoes, cotton Chinese cardigan, an old-fashioned and low-key appearance.
"It's a shame to dare to talk about your big driver, and run out to greet you. β
"Haha, where, I love to make friends, and all the people who come are guests, you come all the way from the coastal city to see me, how can I not greet it. Du Baogang's words were cordial and approachable, and Li Moyang's good impression of him suddenly increased.
Du Baogang, male, 54 years old, born in Qilu, is now a British-Chinese and a well-known investor. In the eighties, he went south to do business, got the first pot of gold, and then went abroad to South Africa to engage in gold mines, made a lot of money, accumulated a huge amount of money, changed his nationality, and became a British.
He is low-key, he likes to wear coarse cloth Chinese clothes on weekdays, his pants are also big road goods, and his shoes are not exquisite, he can't be seen as a super-rich man anywhere, and he is rumored to have a very good relationship with high-level domestic bigwigs. In recent years, it has turned to domestic investment and has become a guest in important cities in major provinces.
Du Baogang's biggest hobby in his life is to collect cultural relics, he recovered a lot of cultural relics from abroad that were resold abroad after the Eight-Nation Alliance, and handed them over to the state at a low price or free of charge, so he has a good relationship with many departments, and is an investor who is very open in the officialdom and business circles.
There is a three-story villa in the villa, plus a warehouse, and the rest of the place is a wire fence, more than two meters high, with a few fierce dogs guarding the home, and the whole villa plus five or six servants, Li Moyang said in his heart, you really dare to live.
"Hehe, look at this pond, stocked with a lot of freshwater fish, it's okay friends to fish, catch it and cook it directly, it's very cool. There is also a small pasture there, stocking a lot of chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, and sika deer, which can be hunted. Would you be interested in a shot?"
Du Baogang proposed, Li Moyang readily agreed, if you want to get to know Du Baogang, you must come up with a unique skill, otherwise people will not look down on you at all, hehe, it just so happens that shooting is his specialty, then you're welcome.
Du Baogang handed Li Moyang a shotgun, a good gun, the top Beretta is all handmade, the whole body is finely carved, the price is worth 100,000 US dollars, it is really awesome.
Li Moyang saw that a sika deer in the fence was grazing with his head down, he didn't look panicked at all, thought for two seconds, didn't fight, picked up a stone and threw it out, startling a few pheasants. Li Moyang raised his hand and didn't aim, snapped, three shots, the pheasant flying in mid-air fluttered and fell to the ground, and the servant hurriedly went in and picked it up.
Du Baogang was stunned, his marksmanship was sharpened with bullets one by one, and it was practiced in South Africa with wild animals in Africa, he boasted of being a master of shooting, but when Li Moyang raised his gun to shoot, Du Baogang knew that there were people outside the sky, and there were some things called talent.
"Why don't you shoot a sika deer?"
"Hehe, the things that have been bred in captivity have long lost their wildness, don't fight, besides, this sika deer is much more expensive than pheasants, I'm afraid you will feel distressed, hehe." β
"Good boy, with personality, I admire you!"
After Du Baogang said this, Li Moyang had a bottom in his heart, and he gradually entered Du Baogang's eyes.
Du Baogang briefly introduced the villa and led Li Moyang into the warehouse.
The warehouse has more than 200 square meters, constant temperature and humidity, and this set of equipment alone costs millions. With such protection, the things inside are estimated to be treasures, Li Moyang secretly pondered.
Sure enough, there was something good in the warehouse. There are a large number of blue bricks, Han tiles, wood carving screens and the like neatly stacked everywhere. Those screen doors are simple in shape and beautifully carved.
However, these things don't look valuable, at best, they are the things of big families in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Li Moyang glanced at Du Baogang suspiciously.
"Hehe, could it be that Li Gongzi still has research on these aspects?" Du Baogang's interest increased, this young man is not simple.
"I understand a little!" Li Moyang was also not modest.
"I'm optimistic about you, you talk about it, it's okay to say it wrong, it's an exchange. β
"Okay, then it's ugly. β
Li Moyang touched a brick carving, carefully inspected the patterns on it, and exclaimed: "The Hui brick carving, which is about the product of the late Qing Dynasty, should be from a large family in Anhui." This thing is a work of art that cannot be reproduced, the value is currently underestimated, the prospect is considerable, and the collection is worthless, but you have so much here, the future value is immeasurable! β
"Okay, that's pretty much what it means, these are all collected by me in Anhui, it didn't cost much, and the people don't have this awareness. These things are cherished in their hands and they don't understand, and the damage is quite serious, and I spent money to buy them. Find experts to classify and repair, and the higher value will be donated to the country, and the ordinary ones will be kept for my own play. Li Gongzi still has research in this area, which is really impressive!"
"Hehe, I don't have any actual experience in treasure appreciation, I just read a few more books. Li Moyang's knowledge is indeed obtained from reading books, and his unforgettable brain cannot be wasted, Li Moyang usually likes to read a wide range of books when he has nothing to do, and his mind can be said to be a small library.
"There aren't many young people who can sit quietly and read books now. Li Gongzi, you are indeed different. Du Baogang exclaimed, admiring Li Moyang very much.
"Hehe, you are too old to win awards, and I am not a rich child, don't call me Li Gongzi, I am panicked when I listen to it, you still call me Xiao Li, Xiao Li Zi is okay, hehe. β
"Okay, I also have a request, don't keep being yours and yours, call me old, in this way, we are Qilu fellows, and I am older than you, you can call me Brother Du, how about I call you Brother Li?"
Du Baogang proposed, Li Moyang was stunned for a second, and readily agreed: "Brother Du is good!"
"Brother Li is good. β
Du Baogang rubbed his hands, very excited, listening to the magpie early this morning, it turned out that there was really a good thing, and he received an extraordinary little brother.
"Hey, old brother, I accepted a little brother, do you want to give a gift to my little brother? β
"That's a must! You see, take it!"
"You're welcome. Li Moyang didn't grind and walked around the warehouse.
A large bed caught his eye. This bed is too big, five people lying on it is no problem, the wood used for the bed is average, ordinary ash, but from the carving process, it is still very exquisite, and there are years.
"That's it. Li Moyang pointed to the big bed.
"If you like it, I'll give it to you, but this is a big smoker in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, if you don't taboo, you can use it. β
"That's the case, no wonder it's familiar, if it's very expensive, forget it, I'll pick it again, and it's so big, how can I ship it back?"
"If you like it, transportation is not a problem, I will leave the address later, and I will transport it to the sea. β
Du Baogang is very generous, this bed is still more valuable, but good things must be learned to share, and they can only be a cultural relic in the warehouse, and only when they are used can they reflect the value of the items.
It seems that I want to buy a big house, this bed can't fit in a forty-square-meter bedroom at all, and when the time comes, I will collect a bunch of harem beauties and ...... The Great Sleep Together...... Hey.
Du Baogang took Li Moyang around for a long time, and Li Moyang could say a thing or two about some objects, which made Du Baogang very happy.
To be honest, at his age, money is no longer a problem, and life is not a problem.
