Chapter 1228: Prepare to make some collections

It is now ninety-two years, the country's collection boom has not really risen, a lot of "old objects" in the hands of the common people are not valuable, some official kiln porcelain are used as fish pots, fakes rarely appear, the common people do not realize the value of this kind of thing, only some people who understand know that these antiques will be valuable in the future, so they ride a bicycle to walk the streets and alleys all over the world to find these things, and after finding them, they will give hundreds of dollars to buy back, and they will appreciate to a considerable extent after more than ten years.

Liu Lang is not interested in these antique calligraphy and paintings in China, even if they are placed in the homes of ordinary people, they are also national, just the difference between official and non-governmental, he is concerned about many cultural relics that have been lost abroad, and always thinks about how to get these things back.

"Brother Huo, where can I buy antiques on Hong Kong Island?"

Liu Lang asked.

"What, you want to get some antiques too?"

"I don't know about antiques or anything, but I went to Paris to play a while ago, and I saw a lot of antiques from our country in the Louvre, which they snatched out of the country back then, and even many of them are better than those in the Forbidden City in the capital, if you buy them back, of course it is the best!"

"Well, too, our country's treasures have been robbed too much by foreigners, such as the Eight-Nation Alliance, which looted the Old Summer Palace, and burned it to the ground when it was finished, it's so hateful, I get angry when I think about it!"

"Hehe, Brother Huo, the Old Summer Palace was burned by the British and French, in 1860, and the Eight-Nation Alliance was forty years later. โ€

Huo Tianting's understanding of history is also half-understood.

"Then I don't know, I know that these guys went to China to burn, kill, rob, and abuse, and all the good things were taken away, if there were no such guys, I don't know how many things are in the Forbidden City now?"

"This is something that can't be helped, the country is weak, but now it's much better, some people are starting to pay attention, I'm also idle, if there is anything good abroad, buy it back!"

"There are a few places where you can buy antiques on Hong Kong Island, similar to the capital's Pan Jiayuan, Hollywood Road, Le Gu Road, anyway, there are many places where you can buy antiques!"

Huo Tianting is a layman to antiques, and the collection is just handy.

"In fact, there are no very good things on the market, and even if there is, they have been bought, and many of them have gone into personal hands, Brother Huo, you help me pay attention, if there are Chinese antiques in the auction on Hong Kong Island, notify me, and then I will go and take a look, there may be some fine products there!"

"Yes, all the good things that appear at the auction are good, I have a friend who works at Sotheby's, I will notify him immediately and let him pay attention!"

Huo Tianting didn't talk nonsense, picked up the phone and called.

"Hey, Tianming? yes, I'm ....... Tianming, if there are any Chinese antiques in your place, tell me, well, anything, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, it must be better! Well, okay, you can inform me when the time comes!"

"Okay, Liu Lang, I'll tell you when I have news!"

Liu Lang nodded, now there are a large number of antiques among the people, there are actually very few domestic ones, mainly foreign ones, such as island countries and many European countries, especially island countries, they have a lot of private museums, which have a large number of Chinese cultural relics, but it is very difficult to buy these cultural relics, after all, island people like Chinese antiques very much, in addition, the folk of some European countries, Europeans do not understand the history of China, and many cultural relics robbed by their ancestors are placed at home, and future generations do not take it seriously after decades, especially porcelain, which is placed in the corner of the home as a tool for taking and placing itemsใ€‚

In fact, this gives the opportunity to buy some treasures with very little money, there are many Chinese cultural relics in foreign auctions in the previous life, and before they were placed in the hands of individuals, and then they were bought by the auction staff at a very low price, and sold at a very high price at the auction, the best porcelain calligraphy and painting can be sold at a price of hundreds of millions of yuan, Liu Lang is ready to find a group of people, nothing to go to Europe and island countries to take a look, find and talk to each other, and strive to buy.

Now the collection of Chinese cultural relics has just begun, and many people, including foreign collectors, do not know how valuable these things will be in the future, for example, more than ten years later, the so-called 12 animal heads of the Old Summer Palace appeared in the European market, which attracted a large number of Chinese collectors, and the last animal head was sold for more than 15 million euros.

To tell the truth, the price is really too high, although the beast head is a cultural relic in the Old Summer Palace, and the workmanship is also very exquisite, but he is actually a faucet, and it is also made by foreigners, the most obvious is the bull-headed beast head, the horns are still hairy, and the Chinese style is completely different, these things are precious is a faucet, and those famous paintings, official kiln porcelain is incomparable, can be auctioned such a high price is completely those domestic "local tyrants" Caused by fanatical patriotic enthusiasm, they released their enthusiasm, but the final benefits were obtained by foreigners, and people in turn would secretly scold you for being a fool, Liu Lang is not short of money, as long as he wants to buy it, what can't he buy back? It's just that he doesn't want to be a fool and be scolded by foreigners.

Finding a group of professionals to go abroad to "Taobao" is the best way Liu Lang can come up with, but this requires the help of professionals, Liu Lang knows nothing about cultural relics, and he doesn't have that energy, and where are the most professionals? Of course, it is the capital, this job has to be handed over to Shao Mingtao's Yongli Group, they have hands and eyes, and it is naturally no problem to find a few professionals, and Liu Lang can pay for it when the time comes.

"Brother Huo, I heard that David from Hong Kong Island has retired, how about the new Proton?

Liu Lang said that David was the last governor of Hong Kong Island, just left office this year, the new governor is called Botton, is the last governor of Hong Kong Island, these two people Liu Lang met last year, at the establishment ceremony of the Hong Kong Investment Bank, Liu Lang also sarcastically said to each other, so that these two Britons are a little unable to get off the stage.

"What else? In five years, Hong Kong Island will return, and then he will get out, we just hope that they will be honest in the next few years and not make any trouble!"

Huo Tianting waved his hand and said, in his eyes, this group of British people is already grasshoppers after the autumn, and there is no need to worry.

Huo Tianting thinks that Liu Lang doesn't see it that way, and that the British will spend five years in such a stable way? The ghost believes that what the state is most worried about now is that the British will make some kind of trouble in the past few years to make the situation on Hong Kong Island unstable, in fact, this kind of worry is redundant, and they will do a good job of "governing" Hong Kong Island and make the life of the people on Hong Kong Island better and better.

It is precisely this kind of "governance" that has laid hidden dangers on Hong Kong Island, and there have been endless troubles since then.
