Chapter 169: The Treasure of the Town House
In the palace mansion, it is very lively today, and even the West Wing, which has been locked all the year round, has made an exception to open the door.
In the past, when the palace master was still alive, this house was his private territory, and outsiders were never allowed to enter, and even the nanny Xiaohua could only go in once a week to clean up.
And inside, there are all kinds of treasures that the old man Gong has painstakingly collected for nearly a century, a total of 372 pieces. From bronze to porcelain, from calligraphy and painting to strange stones, everything is available.
Before this, Gong Changqing didn't actually think about paying attention to them, at least not for the time being, because if you think about it with your ass, these things will definitely be more and more valuable. He used to own two stores in Singapore, doing a timber business, and over the years, he has also accumulated hundreds of thousands of family business, if it is just a family life, it is enough to use it until old age.
Some time ago, the reason why he rushed to the south in a hurry was because he heard about a great business opportunity. A wealthy Hong Kong businessman who intends to invest in a hotel in Beijing is looking for a local partner.
It is not an ordinary hotel, and it is planned to build 30 floors to become one of the best luxury hotels in the entire capital.
The reason why I am looking for a partner is not that there is a lack of funds, isn't the old saying good, a strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, he is a Hong Kong person, come to the mainland to worship the wharf, no matter how good the government gives, there is a local to help, naturally twice the result with half the effort.
And the Gong family has been operating in the capital for many years, and they do have capital, and the old man Gong has lived for more than ninety years, even if he dies, how can he not leave some connections?
So the two sides hit it off, and the other party agreed to let him join the gang, and didn't let him take more, two million is enough, one is to see his sincerity, and at the same time want to test his strength.
After all, to build a hotel like this, you can't get it without tens of millions, and two million is really not much.
However, even with this money, Gong Changqing can't take it out.
Ask relatives to borrow, it's not appropriate, after he inherited all the old man's inheritance, although a group of relatives said that it was okay, but none of them were fished, it was strange that they could feel comfortable.
And Gong Changqing really doesn't want to miss such a good opportunity, so what can he do, he can only sell a little family property.
He has some connections in Hong Kong, so this time, in addition to meeting with the rich man, he also met with several bosses in the collecting industry, and heard that he has so many good collections at home, where can he still sit still, and rushed over in a hurry.
The two sides also hit it off.
"Boss Huang, come and take a look at this amphora beast's first bottle, how does it compare to yours?"
"Hey, it's the first time I've seen this kind of green tire-style bowl, it's really rare. ”
"I think this Wang Shimin's calligraphy and painting are pretty good. ”
"Boss Zhong, you are a jade master, come and palm your eyes and take a look at this jade pendant ......"
A group of Hong Kong bosses were visiting the house, admiring and saying that this trip was not in vain, while Gong Changqing was accompanied by him, smiling but not speaking.
"Old man......"
A voice suddenly came from behind him, Gong Changqing looked back, and saw that his wife's face was not quite right, so he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
"The kid surnamed Li is here again. ”
"Oh?" When Gong Changqing was about to go out to have a look, he was pulled by Mrs. Gong and whispered, "I sent him away." ”
"You ......" Gong Changqing's head was big for a while, and he also lowered his voice, "Why are you driving him away, I was about to talk to him." ”
"Useless ......" Mrs. Gong shook her head, and said very firmly: "You didn't see his nervousness just now, you said that you spent 10,000 yuan to buy the jar, but he specified that he couldn't agree." ”
After hearing her say this, Gong Changqing couldn't help frowning slightly, the photo of Lao Tzu riding a bull can, his friend in Hong Kong had already found a professional appraiser to see it, and said that it was a great thing, and it was very likely to be a unique product, which means that it was the only one in the world.
What this meant was self-evident, and even the appraiser sent a message that one of his clients planned to buy it for a lot of money, but was rejected by Gong Changqing. He has a collection of hundreds of pieces in his house, and he won't sell such a good thing if he wants to sell it, and now the antique market is emerging, God knows how much it will be worth after ten or twenty years?
Since he had this idea, he had actually made up his mind to take the jar for himself. Such a rare treasure, not to mention that he was originally a philistine businessman, even if he was a literati who regarded money as dung, he was afraid that he would be unable to extricate himself, right?
But the point is, the jar is not his.
So what can be done?
The best way is naturally to buy it, originally Gong Changqing was a little sure, after all, that young man had such a relationship with his girl, he was still thinking before, what kind of collection can such a young man know. But now after hearing his wife say this, he can't help but be confused.
"He said he'll come back another day, and he really has an agreement with him, so you have to find a way quickly......"
"What can you do?"
Gong Changqing glanced at her angrily, "He has the agreement signed by the old man in black and white, what can I do?"
"......" Mrs. Gong couldn't help but be speechless for a while, such a good thing is not her own home, do you say it's angry?
The most annoying thing is that it is now in my study.
"If you want me to say......" Madame Gong rolled her eyes and said, "Just sell it!"
As he spoke, he also pointed to the Hong Kong bosses who were looking around in the house.
"No, no, no, how can this work......" Gong Changqing's head put on a flower, this matter involves the old man, if the old man's reputation is ruined, a few old antiques on his head will definitely not be able to spare him.
"Why can't it be?"
Mrs. Gong frowned and said: "He signed an agreement with the old man, and now that the old man is gone, why do you ask us to ask us, even if the things are missing, let him ask the old man to go, what does it have to do with us?"
Gong Changqing squinted slightly, and said, "What do you mean...... After selling things to these Hong Kong bosses, we pretended not to know, if he really came to the door, let him find it himself, and if he couldn't find out, at most something went wrong in the middle, maybe the old man hid elsewhere, but he didn't have time to explain urgently, it can't be regarded as our breach of contract, and he has no reason to make trouble. ”
"Yes, that's what it means!"
Gong Changqing's eyes couldn't help but light up, if this is the case, it's not impossible, it's just ......
"It's still not good. "Thinking of the relationship between that kid and his daughter, I always feel a little unable to do it.
"Don't be too busy refusing and take out that thing...... Madam Gong paused at this point, pointed to the Hong Kong bosses in front of her, and then continued: "Let's see what price they can offer." ”
Gong Changqing thought about it and couldn't help nodding, in fact, he also wanted to know what price that jar could be sold at on the market at the moment, and there was no harm in taking it out to find out.
"Bosses......
After making up his mind, he spoke, "Everyone has come all the way here, someone in my palace is very happy, I can't hide it, I still have a treasure in this house, and I will take it out for you today." ”
"The treasure of the town?!"
Several Hong Kong bosses were shocked, this room of treasures has dazzled them, and there are even more amazing things, how can there be a reason to miss it?
"Boss Gong, hurry up, what are you waiting for?"
Gong Changqing nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, everyone, please come with me." "The reckless age
