At the end of September, the weather in the capital is gradually getting cooler! The Palace Museum has just held a high-standard donation ceremony, and Mr. Li Haichuan, honorary chairman of the Oceanpower Foundation, donated a batch of cultural relics repurchased from overseas on behalf of the foundation. Among them, there are many heirloom treasures like "Chunhua Pavilion Post" (Quanzhou Ben)!

The director of the Palace Museum presented a certificate of honor to Li Haichuan on the spot, and the director of the Ministry of Culture and Culture, as well as the director of the Hong Kong-Macao Affairs Office, all participated in the donation activities, and spoke highly of the charity of the Oceanpower Foundation and Mr. Li in their speeches.

The Beijing-Beijing Asian Games, the largest sports event hosted since the founding of the People's Republic of China, was grandly opened in the early autumn of 1990. As the most important official sponsor of this Asian Games, the Oriental Group was naturally warmly invited by the Asian Organizing Committee, so Li Xuan simply took the whole family to the north to watch the game.

Li Xuan wanted to keep a low profile, but as the richest man in the world, how could he not attract attention. When Li Xuan's private plane landed at the Capital International Airport, not only did a vice chairman of the Beijing-Beijing Organizing Committee personally greet him at the airport, but also a deputy director of the Hong Kong-Macao Affairs Office.

Although Li Xuan came with the mood of playing, he couldn't completely ignore his work. You must know that the Eastern Group is also one of the deep participants in the Asian Games. For example, Asia Satellite TV has sent a large front-line live broadcast team, which will not only bring many exciting live broadcasts to the Hong Kong public during the competition, but will also be responsible for the production of broadcast signals for some of the events.

At the same time, Asia Satellite TV will also take this event as an opportunity to explore this constantly open and vibrant motherland from multiple angles and in an all-round way, so that Hong Kong people can know a more real and vivid China.

In addition to Asia Satellite TV, Hua-Xing Company (note: I can't remember the company's book friends, you can revisit chapters 581-587) and the Capital Telecommunications Bureau to form the country's first digital mobile communication network, which has been officially opened in early September, which will effectively guarantee the communication logistics during the Asian Games!

However, the price of digital mobile phones is not cheap, even the old model M-88 launched two years ago is priced as high as 10,000 yuan per unit in China. The latest M-90 mobile phone just launched this year is priced at 25,000 yuan.

The funding of the Beijingya Organizing Committee is not abundant, and a large part of it even comes from donations from the people of the whole country. Therefore, in the case of the country's promotion of frugality in the Asian Games, the purchase of luxury goods such as digital mobile phones is naturally extremely limited.

To this end, Huaxing Company simply donated 200 M-90 digital mobile phones to the Beijing-Beijing Asia Organizing Committee. As long as it can take advantage of the east wind of the Asian Games to open the mainland market, Huaxing Company will make a lot of money this time.

So many employees of the Eastern Group participated directly or indirectly in the Asian Games. Since Li Xuan, the big boss, has come to Beijing, he must find time to cheer up the employees who are trying to help him make money.

In addition to condolences to employees, Li Xuan's schedule has many things that are not related to the Asian Games. For example, in today's donation ceremony, Li Xuan spent $4 million to buy it from Mr. Ellsworth, a well-known Chinese antique collector in the United States!

The market value of the entire batch of donated cultural relics exceeded 20 million US dollars, which was all real money that Li Xuan had spent. This is also one of the most valuable cultural relics donated by Hong Kong and Macao compatriots in China over the years. Therefore, the relevant parties attach great importance to it, and the Minister of Culture and the Director of the Hong Kong-Macao Office personally attended the donation ceremony.

Since there were two high-ranking officials and high-ranking officials coming to the platform, Li Xuan, who had not planned to participate, could only change his plan and go to the donation ceremony to watch the ceremony in person.

As the saying goes, when material needs are satisfied, people will begin to pursue spiritual needs. The enjoyment of rich and noble families is naturally not something that can be satisfied by a drama or a trip, but a variety of brand-name bags and various sports cars and watches.

There are also some wealthy families with higher tastes who like to collect antiques. For example, Zhao Chongyan, known as one of the four great ship kings in Hong Kong, is a well-known collector in Hong Kong. In the early 80s, the Iraq-Lange-Iraq war led to the outbreak of the second oil crisis, and the global shipping industry suffered a rapid recession.

For example, the Bao family broke the wrist of the strong man in advance, chose to abandon the boat and landed, and luckily escaped a catastrophe. The Zhao family and the future chief executive family missaw the situation, and as a result, they both fell into bankruptcy crisis.

In order to keep the family business, Zhao Chongyan reluctantly sold 120 pieces of calligraphy, paintings, ceramics and jade that he had collected over the years, and the receiver was Li Xuan. At that time, in addition to spending 300 million Hong Kong dollars to buy antiques from Zhao Chongyan, Li Xuan also borrowed 2 billion from the Zhao family to help Huaguang Shipping tide over the difficulties.

To be honest, Li Xuan himself is not obsessed with collecting, but the investment managers who serve Li Xuan usually choose to diversify their investments to reduce risk. In addition to equity investment, futures, treasury bonds, gold, and art collections are also involved.

Since the Opium War, Western civilization has been in an overwhelming leading position, which has also led to the dominance of Western literature and art in the world. What ancient Greek and Roman sculptures, impressionism, and fauvist oil paintings are popular all over the world.

In addition to porcelain, other Chinese antiques such as Chinese paintings and calligraphy have not been sought after by mainstream Western collectors. Especially calligraphy, the square characters created by our ancestors are originally far from the Western alphabet. Not to mention the fact that it is also divided into kaishu, cursive, and line script, many Chinese are looking at flowers in the fog, let alone let foreigners appreciate the stroke bone in the word!

The price of Chinese antiques has soared, and it will have to wait until ten or twenty years later. At that time, the national collection craze in China, and the local tyrants were crazy to sweep the goods all over the world, which not only led to a doubling of the rise, but also caused the flood of fake antiques.

Now, although there are many collectors in Taiwan-Bay and Hong Kong, after all, the number of people is limited, and although the price of Chinese antiques has risen slightly, it is still at a low level overall, which gives Li Xuan the opportunity to buy the bottom.

In addition to constantly contacting those well-known collectors and big antique dealers to ask for purchases, Li Xuan's agents also frantically raise their cards at major auctions around the world, and can help Li Xuan consume at least 100 million US dollars every year. This is also Li Xuan's biggest personal expense in addition to donations.

After these antiques were brought back to Hong Kong by Li Xuan from all over the world, they were not locked in a private vault and covered with dust. He generously lent museums across the Taiwan Strait for touring exhibitions, so that more ordinary people could also have the opportunity to see the treasures handed down by their ancestors up close.

Moreover, Li Xuan will also donate part of his collection from time to time to brush up on his reputation, as he did today! You must know that with his heavy investment, the number of treasures in Li's private collection is not inferior to that of the Capital Palace Museum and the Taipei-North Palace Museum.

As the largest borrower of the Li family's collection, the Hong Kong Museum of Art was even overwhelmed by the large number of exhibits, so it had to start the construction of a new exhibition hall in 86.

After the opening of the new exhibition hall in Tsim Sha Tsui, the West Kowloon District of the Hong Kong Police Force has specially increased the patrol police force in the surrounding area to ensure the absolute safety of the antiques worth billions of dollars inside.

The Hong Kong Museum of Art has also become a popular attraction in Hong Kong in recent years. Here you have the opportunity to see with your own eyes the original calligraphy and painting of many familiar historical figures such as Mitty, Zhao Mengfu, Wen Zhengming, Tang Bohu, Zeng Gong, Huang Tingjian, Zhao Ji, Cai Jing, Zheng Banqiao, Bada Shanren and so on. There are also jade, bronze, and the five famous kilns of Ru, Guan, Ge, Ding and Jun in the Song Dynasty, and the porcelain products of the official kilns of the Yuan blue and white dynasties and the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Just when Li Xuan was leisurely watching the game and having all kinds of entertainment, someone deliberately chased him from Hong Kong, 2,000 kilometers away, to Beijing to meet him because he couldn't sleep well!
