Thirty-third Octopus and Bear's Paw

The place where Wan Cheng asked Tang Feng to meet was in a coffee shop next to the North Building, Tang Feng was no stranger, and he met Fan Ziyun here last time. Twenty minutes later, Tang Feng walked into the coffee shop, Luo Wancheng beckoned to him, and Tang Feng walked over and sat opposite him.

The two of them didn't know each other, but they didn't forget the hypocritical politeness, and after greeting him, Luo Wancheng asked Tang Fengdao, "What does Mr. Tang want to drink?"

Luo Wancheng can afford to delay time, Tang Feng can't afford to delay it today, he said directly: "Mr. Luo doesn't have to be polite, it's still important to get down to business." ”

Luo Wancheng nodded, and briefly talked about the situation after the TV treasure appreciation program, as Tang Feng expected, afterwards, Luo Wancheng took this square gas inkstone everywhere to identify, but the result was not ideal, the answers of the appraisal experts were similar, it was hard to say, and I couldn't understand it. When Luo Wancheng was in conflict, a stranger called him and said that he wanted to buy this Fangzheng Qi inkstone.

Luo Wancheng said: "I met with them, and they offered 10,000 yuan, but I didn't agree. ”

20 million? Tang Feng was in his heart with a big Luo Wancheng, this, the lion opened his mouth widely, and went around for a long time, so he was waiting for him here? He said quietly: "20 million, a good price, why didn't Mr. Luo agree to sell it to him?" Tang Feng can't be too anxious now, otherwise this injustice will be decided, Su Dongpo's manuscript is very important, but the righteous inkstone is even more important, if it is 20 million, then these two national treasure-level cultural relics will become fish and bear's paws, which cannot be both. Moreover, Tang Feng didn't believe Luo Wancheng at all, if someone really offered 10,000 yuan, it is estimated that this guy would have given it away with both hands.

Luo Wancheng said: "Because they are not Chinese, I am hesitant. ”

Speaking of foreigners who bought Chinese objects, Tang Feng's first thought was to match Toshiki Aoyama, who robbed him of the Yuan blue and white standard, and the time also coincided. He can't understand why foreigners are so interested in Chinese cultural relics, we Chinese don't like foreign cultural relics, you take the French impressionist master Monet's "Water Lily Picture" that sold for 80.45 million US dollars to China to try, halved and no one wants. He asked Luo Wancheng, "Are you Japanese?"

"Yes, although he didn't reveal his identity, I have been to Japan and can see it. Luo Wancheng nodded and admitted, he said: "Mr. Tang, I might as well say bluntly that I have completed the immigration procedures and will move my family to Singapore, I didn't promise him, not that I didn't want to sell it to him." ”

Tang Feng smiled mockingly and said, "Mr. Luo is really frank enough, and the reason is very good. ”

"Mr. Tang doesn't mean anything. Luo Wancheng took out his passport and visa from his bag and put them on the table. He continued: "Of course, I haven't forgotten that I am still a Chinese. In the case of the same price, of course, they will sell it to their own compatriots. Mr. Tang should understand what I mean. ”

Tang Feng asked nonchalantly, "Look." Should I thank you for taking care of me as a fellow man?"

Luo Wancheng said: "Mr. Tang doesn't have to buckle my hat. In fact. Leaving this country has always been my goal in life. All my efforts are aimed at achieving this goal, and life abroad is sad. I had to plan for the future. ”

Although Luo Wancheng has no cure, Tang Feng still said: "It's hard to live abroad. But do you still want to be there, and you hate the homeland where you were born and raised?" Tang Feng said this not to save him. He only hoped that this guy would lower the price.

Luo Wancheng said: "Why did Mr. Tang say such a thing? Everyone has a different environment and different ideas. Aren't all those celebrities running abroad? is emotionless. ”

The motherland is like a mother. No child will resent his mother for being ugly or in rags. Unless. It's the birthplace of the stepmother. Those so-called international superstars are!

Tang Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head, now recalling what Luo Wancheng said on TV, it was really ironic. "I didn't think much about it at the time, I just wanted to bring it back to China. He didn't say the second half of the sentence and took it back to China to buy it at a good price.

Tang Feng has no choice, who makes him like this square and righteous inkstone, no matter what the country is, no matter how the family is, the heroes of those countries and nations are always worthy of our respect. When you really like something, it's worth it to pay for her, for example, the woman you like. You can't have both fish and bear's paws, whichever comes first will get the first, Tang Feng quickly made a decision, he asked Luo Wancheng: "So, as long as I can afford to pay 10,000, you will buy me that square qi inkstone, right?"

Luo Wancheng nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"When is the trade?" Tang Feng said, hoping to get a buffer period, in which case, he could think of other ways.

Luo Wancheng said: "It's best now, I have limited time, and I hope to be able to deal with this matter as soon as possible." ”

Tang Feng really wants to beat this guy up, this guy doesn't love the country, can't go abroad to take care of his own bird affairs, but this king is too good at picking time, what do you know

Drawn, right?

Luo Wancheng wanted to deal with it as soon as possible, Tang Feng was still afraid of long nights and dreams, so he immediately said: "Okay, 20 million, I want it now." ”

Luo Wancheng said: "No matter what Mr. Tang thinks of me, I only thank Mr. Tang and nothing else. "This guy is thankful

Tang Feng said: "Don't say these words, hurry up and trade." ”

Then, Luo Wancheng and Tang Feng went to the bank, his wife sent a righteous inkstone, and after verifying his identity, Tang Feng put 20 million into his account in front of Luo Wancheng.

The payment was cleared, Tang Feng left without looking back, this girl is really not a thing, and Luo Wancheng didn't have much excitement, some were just sad excitement after getting what he wanted, he gently hugged his wife in his arms and said, "We can finally get rid of all this." "Everybody has everybody's story, and if that really makes them happy, let them go.

After this unexpected toss, Tang was beaten back to his original form, standing tall and seeing far, this is not entirely accurate, Tang Feng is now standing on a high debt platform, standing high and owing a lot, 1C million in cash and 20,000 in debt, he is a real million.

"Muyu, I'll come back" Tang Feng took the Zhengqi inkstone back home, the dining table was already full of dishes, he put down the Zhengqi inkstone and walked into the kitchen, Lin Muyu was still busy inside, seeing Tang Feng coming in, Lin Muyu said: "You came back just in time, let's get ready to eat." ”

Tang Feng asked Lin Muyu: "Yo, what good thing happened to Muyu today, cooking so many dishes?"

Lin Mu glanced at Tang Feng and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I see your hard work, cook two more dishes for you to eat, and I wish you success tonight." ”

Hey, as soon as he mentioned the auction, Tang Feng wondered in his heart, he hadn't recruited anyone to provoke anyone recently, why was he so unlucky? It felt like a car accident on the highway, the front was not over, and the back was followed by a collision, and there were still several cars, this is called a serial car accident, and it must be blocking traffic.

Lin Muyu and Tang Feng sat down to eat together, Tang Feng asked Lin Muyu, "Tonight's auction, are you going to Muyu?"

Lin Muyu asked Tang Feng rhetorically: "What do you say?"

"Of course, I want you to go, so that those people can see how beautiful and virtuous our family Muyu is, and how good it is in the hall and in the kitchen. Tang Feng said very proudly: "Of course, we just need to know many things ourselves, such as going to bed." ”

Lin Muyu suddenly asked for no reason: "Tang Feng, how far do you think we can go if we go on like this?"

"Of course forever, hey, what's wrong with you today?" Tang Feng asked Lin Muyu, "Why did you suddenly remember to ask this question?"

Lin Muyu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Don't be so sensitive, I'll just ask casually." ”

After dinner, the two of them came to Zhu Ji Auction House together, and as soon as the two approached the door, Chen Yan came out from the inside, and he was followed by Liu Yue, who returned to her former chic dress today. There is always no lack of common language between women and women, and after greeting Tang Feng, she gently took Lin Muyu's hand, and the two women started a homely routine. Taking advantage of the fact that Liu Yue and Lin Muyu were biting their ears, Chen Yan pulled Tang Feng aside to ask about the situation, Tang Feng repeated the situation to him, and finally, he said: "This matter is basically over." ”

"I think there's still some hope.

Chen Yan said: "I came here so early to find out the news. ”

Then, Chen Yan began to analyze the specific situation, this auction can be described as unprecedented, the appearance of Su Dongpo's manuscript has caused a sensation across the Taiwan Strait, the big names participating in the auction can not count on their fingers, in addition to Ren Wangzu, the famous Hong Kong antique dealer Dong Minquan also attended in person, Chen Yan said to Tang Feng: "Don't forget, your antique "Autumn Landscape Map" of Zhang Daqian is the second lot of this auction house, and it will definitely be sold for a sky-high price. ”

Tang Feng understood what Chen Yan meant, he felt that Tang Feng underestimated the value of "Autumn Landscape Map", he shook his head and said: "The problem is that it is not Zhang Daqian's own creation, but an antique painting, and its value is definitely not as good as Su Dongpo's manuscript." ”

Chen Yan said: "Don't you still have a painting of Zhu Yunming's "Pointing the Country"?"

Tang Feng didn't have much hope for "Pointing the Country", the total transaction price of the two paintings must be lower than Su Dongpo's manuscript, even if the big names grabbed their heads and set a new world record, what could they do? If they can grab Zhang Daqian, why can't they grab Su Dongpo?

He said to Chen Yan: "Don't come to comfort me, I'm in a good state of mind now, some things are destined to not have the best of both worlds, let's go first." ”

When Chen Yan heard Tang Feng's words, he looked at Lin Muyu and Liu Yue for no reason, yes, there are some things that really can't have the best of both worlds.
