Chapter 660: Antiques for movie props
This wood carving was taken by Cheng Feihu, and he could be said to be optimistic about himself, and after taking it down, he asked someone for advice, but he picked up a small leak. Although it is a little different from the truth, no one will mind such a small thing, so this matter is very operable and interesting, changing the previous deliberate style.
Cheng Feihu, who felt that it was very reasonable, readily accepted this opinion, and took down the wood carving of a thousand-mile single ride at a relatively reasonable price. Qi Lao was very face-saving, and tried his best to cooperate with Zhou You and Cheng Feihu's actions this time.
In this way, the harvest can be described as rich.
Zhou You got a lot of valuable artworks, and Cheng Feihu also solved this year's gifts, and the two of them said goodbye to Qi Lao with a happy mood and left Tai'an Building.
On the road.
In the car.
Cheng Feihu, who was enjoying the comfort of the luxury tourist bus, was in a very happy mood and praised: "It's still a small tour that knows how to enjoy, and I actually found such a travel tool." Looks like I'm going to have to get one too, so I won't have to be as uncomfortable as I used to when I run around. ”
"It should. ”
Take a brief trip around and get ready to quench your thirst.
There is a refrigerator in the car, and all the necessary supplies are available, so you will definitely not feel the slightest discomfort for guests.
Cheng Feihu thought of something and immediately said: "By the way, Xiaoyou, a friend who makes movies wants to borrow a few antiques from you to shoot, I don't know if it's convenient for you?"
Zhou You wondered and asked, "My name?"
Cheng Feihu replied: "No, he originally wanted to borrow it from me, but the things he asked for were very strict, and my collection was not very good." For example, at least in the Song Dynasty, and there must be a certain historical story, preferably with some mythological effects or something. Because he was going to make a movie about treasures, he invited many celebrities to participate, and in order to make it perfect, he asked his friends in the collecting world for help. ”
After a pause, Cheng Feihu continued: "I want to think about it, the most convenient thing is to help you ordinarily. ”
Zhou You asked: "What does he want to borrow? Some things are too sensitive, but it is not that he can borrow them, at least the security problem is enough for him to have a headache." ”
Zhou You knows a little bit about such things.
Back then, in order to achieve a realistic effect on "Titanic", the great director James Cameron ordered the destruction of all 3,000 sets of prop plates that forgot to print the MadeChina mark on the bottom, and ordered the prop masters to rework until the props were completely restored to the objects at that time.
Such a serious attitude became a good story in the film industry, and many people later rushed to imitate it. Not to mention the appearance of veritable props in the movie, even some low-cost serials will appear to embellish them, instead of casually making some defective products out to fool the audience as before.
Cheng Feihu nodded and replied, "Of course." If he wanted to borrow an artifact of the level of the Jing Shi Bowl, he wouldn't dare to say anything if he was given ten guts, after all, the expenses on security, especially the expenses on insurance, would be enough for him to have a headache. ”
Zhou You replied: "Since it's a treasure hunting movie, it's inseparable from the theme of weapons." In this way, I can lend the Yu Sword that has not yet been made public, but if he can't guarantee complete safety and there is a little damage, then I can't blame me. ”
Cheng Feihu supported: "You are so righteous, if he is still bad, you don't need to come forward, I will take care of him." When the time comes, not only will he go bankrupt, but he will also be ruined. ”
Cheng Feihu naturally knew the value of Yu Jian, that felt that it was an artifact-level existence, which could not be measured by money, and Zhou You's ability to lend it was completely for his own sake, and Cheng Feihu naturally had to give full guarantees.
"It doesn't have to be that serious, just tighten the security measures. ”
After traveling around, I remembered that I still had a lot of collections, so I politely said: "Anyway, the borrowing time is very short, there shouldn't be any problems, and I happen to be able to take the opportunity to advertise." In this way, I still have the Four Dragons Fangzun of the Spring and Autumn Period and the bronze owl pattern Fang Hu of the late Shang Dynasty, as well as the limestone beast statue of the Han Dynasty, the Night Pearl and other treasures, which can be lent. ”
"Bold enough!"
Cheng Feihu laughed and said, "Xiaoyou is really heroic. In this way, this guy owes me even more favors, but I have to personally send someone to protect it, so that I can rest assured, after all, the total price of the treasure you took out is probably more than 500 million, and if something happens, I will have a headache. ”
Zhou You smiled but did not speak.
Five hundred million, that's the most conservative estimate. If someone is willing to sell an artifact of the same level as Yu Jian, let alone 500 million, even if it is 1 billion, Zhou You is willing to buy it. With such an attitude, it is enough to imagine the value of the things lent by Zhou You.
After Cheng Feihu finished sighing, he also started his own plans, and asked, "Xiaoyou, are you looking for a place to rest and then attend a charity dinner?" Or do you want to visit an old friend with me?"
"I'm going with you!"
Cheng Feihu was greedy for enjoyment of taking the tour bus before, but he didn't drive out, if Zhou You left him like this, it would be too unwilling. And Zhou You also wants to see how powerful the characters who can call Cheng Feihu an old friend, you must know that Cheng Feihu's identity and temper are not something that ordinary people can befriend.
Cheng Feihu cracked his mouth and smiled, obviously knowing this.
According to Cheng Feihu's instructions, they drove around for forty minutes and came to a relatively elegant teahouse. This teahouse can't help but remind Zhou You of the old teahouse, but in terms of style, it is more elegant here, and there is not such a strong imprint of the times.
Cheng Feihu seemed to be a regular customer here, and when the waiter saw him, he even saved the time to come over to ask, and let Cheng Feihu take Zhou You straight away.
Cheng Feihu introduced as he walked: "Xiaoyou, my friend is also a No. 1 elegant person, not only knowledgeable, but also extremely outstanding in business; A few years ago, the elder brother relied on him to get a lot of valuable antiques, which attracted the attention of Mr. Cheng. To put it simply, the owner here is my benefactor. ”
Zhou You nodded repeatedly.
He finally understood now that Cheng Feihu had a lot of respect for the master here.
"Flying Tiger!"
"Brother Ming!"
A man about forty years old with eyes came down from upstairs, saw Cheng Feihu, and immediately came over to hug him.
Brother Ming is the owner here.
Brother Ming gave Cheng Feihu a punch very unceremoniously, and reproached: "Okay, you kid, you haven't been seen in the past year, and you haven't even had a phone call, you're really busy." ”
Cheng Feihu smiled bitterly and replied, "Brother Ming, don't laugh at me." I didn't go to Burma and Laos to endure hardship, and after a while, I came back in disgrace. ”
"Isn't it?"
Brother Ming looked at Cheng Feihu with suspicious eyes and said, "You kid is not authentic, I have received the rumors." You reconciled with the demon of the Xu family, killed abroad together, and it is said that you even made up an energy and mineral company or something, got a lot of minerals in Myanmar and Laos, and also got in touch with the governments of the two countries, and became a gem tycoon. ”
Cheng Feihu smiled bitterly.
Could he leak the news that tariffs are about to rise and that the gemstone business is getting worse and worse?
"Who is this?"
Fortunately, Brother Ming didn't think about it so much, and asked about Zhou You.
Cheng Feihu hurriedly introduced the two sides.
Brother Ming immediately shook hands with Zhou You warmly: "It turns out that Your Excellency is the famous God of Gamblers Zhou You, it is really disrespectful! ”
The top floor, which is a private room that is not open to the public, is the most elegant area here, and only accepts real VIPs.
But Brother Ming's beautiful secretary reminded: "Boss, Mr. Cao is coming." ”
The smart Cheng Feihu immediately said: "Brother Ming, let's just go up by ourselves, it's not the first time we've come." Go ahead and get busy, and we'll talk when we're free. ”
Brother Ming replied: "It's okay, you go up there and wait for us, and I'll take people up there to communicate." I heard that Mr. Zhou's treasure appreciation skills are unparalleled in the world, so I can ask for advice. ”
"Khan!"
Zhou You was speechless for an instant, this Brother Ming is direct enough, it is estimated that this is the appetite for Cheng Feihu.
So Brother Ming took the secretary out to greet Mr. Cao, while Zhou You and Cheng Feihu went to the most elegant box.
"It's delicious, it's like a garden in the city!"
As soon as you came here, you were instantly fascinated by everything in front of you.
The rooftop of the teahouse has been transformed into a garden, a small garden in the center of the city, where there are flowers and grass, birds and trees, and there should be all that a small garden should have. The most important thing is that the box is actually designed as a large pavilion in ancient times, and it has a lot of flavor in such a special atmosphere.
"Ingenuity!"
Traveling around gives a comprehensive summary.
Cheng Feihu echoed: "That's why I said that his business ability is very good. ”
Zhou You smiled slightly.
When Zhou You and Cheng Feihu sat down, and the waiter served tea, Brother Ming came up with five young people and two old men.
After Brother Ming introduced everyone, they sat down one after another.
It's just that the seven newcomers all looked at Zhou You with curious eyes, probably surprised by Zhou You's huge name. The self-made billionaire, this name alone is enough to deter countless thoughts, and it is enough to attract some undeserved attention.
"Brother Ming, please two experts!"
But after all, the person surnamed Cao came to ask for identification and sell things, and he didn't have so much time for mushrooms, so he directly opened the topic.
"Su Shi's Codex?"
Zhou You didn't expect that they were actually exchanging antiques, and as soon as they came out, they were the codex of ancient super celebrities, so he wouldn't be surprised.
It is a handwritten letter, which is what modern people call a "handwritten letter". However, some codexes are similar to the summary type of notes, with a slight difference. But no matter which one it is, as long as it is a celebrity, it has at least a little research value, and if the codex in front of you is true, it is really priceless.
"This seal is real. ”
An old expert pointed to the last inscription of the codex and nodded his head in appreciation.
