Chapter 401: The favor is too heavy, it's not good to pay it back!
Is there a more special gift? What could it be?
Yang Weiping couldn't help but be interested, and asked Manfred to lead the way, and the group followed up with Grandma Liu, who was in Daguanyuan, and repeatedly tasted the decorations and designs of the interior of the plane while walking, and never got tired of looking at it.
In the lavish yet elegant living room, Manfred, with his hands on a pair of white gloves, slowly opened the safe set up next to Simmons' bed.
Under the bright light, a pair of bronze and polished dragon heads and tiger heads are quietly placed on the cabinet partition covered with red flannel.
Yang Weiping's two eyes suddenly froze, and his eyes did not move again after staring at the pair of bronze dragon heads and tiger heads.
"Uncle Ping, these seem to be two antiques, right?" Luo Xiaotong, who was standing behind Yang Weiping, looked at the extremely solemn face on Uncle Ping's face and asked softly.
"Since it is from the British Field family, I think this pair of dragon heads and tiger heads should be the dragon heads and tiger heads in the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac beast heads that were once snatched by the British and French forces in the Old Summer Palace!" Jiang Xiaowu also said in a solemn voice.
"The bronze antiques of the Qing Dynasty are only more than a hundred years old, so they shouldn't be very valuable, right?" Luo Xiaotong pouted disapprovingly and said, "I thought it was a good treasure!"
Yang Weiping took a deep breath and muttered as if talking to himself: "In terms of artistic value, the craftsmanship of the Zodiac Animal Head is rough and not special, and it is indeed not worth much. But in terms of its historical value, these 12 bronze statues of the animal heads of the Chinese zodiac symbolize the great shame that our Chinese nation has suffered!"
He really didn't expect that he had just casually mentioned to Hughsfeld that he had asked the Field family to help him find the bronze statue of the head of the zodiac animal in the collector's collection in Europe, and the Field family was really helping him with it.
The bronze statues of the 12 zodiac animal heads in this period have not yet been used by the West as a weapon to humiliate the Chinese government, and they are publicly auctioned at major auction venues around the world. It won't cost much to buy it as soon as possible. At best, it's about a million dollars per beast head.
But the trouble is that these 12 bronze statues of the animal heads of the zodiac have been living in Europe for more than 100 years. Finding their whereabouts is not an easy task.
And this matter can't be raised publicly, and the world is shouting at him that Yang Weiping wants to buy it, otherwise it may be hyped up by people with a heart to become sky-high antiques.
At this moment, in Yang Weiping's eyes. The value and significance of this dragon head and tiger head is far greater than the Airbus A320 private jet he is now in.
Because no one in this era can realize it yet. When China became stronger, every time Western countries took out a bronze statue of the head of the zodiac animal for public auction, they were nakedly slapping the faces of the Chinese people.
The fact that the Field family was able to quietly help him collect this set of bronze statues of the heads of the zodiac animals in Europe fully shows that the Field family attaches great importance to every word he Yang Weiping has ever said.
This friendship tied up by interests is worth cherishing!
"Boss. After more than two years of secret visits, now, in addition to the dragon head and tiger head, there are also horse heads, ox heads, monkey heads, pig heads, rat heads and rabbit heads have also been bought back and placed in the collection room of the Yang family estate in Nairobi for treasure. Manfred said:
"The four bronze statues of the head of the snake, the head of the sheep, the head of the chicken, and the head of the dog. No clues have been given yet. Grand Duke Field said that as long as the other four bronze statues of animal heads are in Europe, he will be able to buy them all sooner or later, and make a complete set of zodiac signs to achieve your wishes. ”
Originally, I thought that there were only dragon heads and tiger heads, but I didn't expect that horse heads, ox heads, monkey heads, pig heads, rat heads and rabbit heads were also found. That's enough for eight pieces at once!
Maybe the Field family didn't spend too much money when they bought it, but this intention is the most valuable.
Yang Weiping nodded lightly silently, this favor is really indebted, heavy, I have to think of a way to return it!
Coming out of the living room, Yang Weiping looked a little heavy, walked to the conference room outside, sat down on the sofa, lit a cigar, and smoked one after another silently.
After a while, seeing everyone standing there waiting for him, Yang Weiping opened his voice slowly: "Old Man, you take Qiao Qiao and the others to look around again, I have something to talk about with Jiang Gongzi." ”
Hearing Yang Weiping's explanation, Manfred bowed down to receive the order, Ye Xiaoqiao, Luo Xiaotong and others knew that Yang Weiping had something important to discuss, and they were very cooperative, without saying a word, they retreated from the conference room.
"Brother Xiaowu, there is a lot of neglect this time, and I hope that Brother Xiaowu will not take it to heart. Yang Weiping's eyes showed apologies, and he looked at Jiang Xiaowu quite sincerely and said.
"Brother Wei Ping is serious. Jiang Xiaowu said solemnly: "Our China has been a state of etiquette since ancient times, and this time it is the occasion of Brother Wei Ping's life to ascend to the branch, of course, we must first greet the guests of friendly countries, our own brothers, there are more opportunities to communicate anytime and anywhere." ”
"Jiang Gong is still in good health now, right?" Yang Weiping asked with concern.
"Brother Meng Weiping is worried, my father is doing well at the moment. Jiang Xiaowu nodded gratefully and replied.
"As Jiang Gong is concerned with the stability and development of the situation on Taiwan Island, we must pay more attention to taking care of our health, because Taiwan cannot do without Jiang Gong!" Yang Weiping said very seriously: "Otherwise, Taiwan will inevitably become an important battle used by Western countries to split our Chinese nation!"
"Brother Wei Ping's words, I will definitely bring them!" Jiang Xiaowu stood up and nodded solemnly. After finishing speaking, he took out a letter from the inner pocket of his suit, handed it to Yang Weiping with both hands, and said: "This is my father's handwritten letter, and my father repeatedly explained before leaving, I must hand it over to Brother Wei Ping in person." ”
Yang Weiping nodded solemnly, took the envelope, then opened the envelope, and took out a letter written with a pen and a small hammer from inside.
The letter is divided into two pages, and between the lines reveals Jiang Dagongzi's gratitude and concern for Yang Weiping.
Jiang Dagongzi first expressed his heartfelt thanks to Tiangong Taiwan Heavy Industry Group for its investment in Taiwan and for its tremendous role in promoting Taiwan's industrial and economic development.
Then, he imagined and looked forward to Tiangong Group's future investment in Taiwan and deepen the comprehensive cooperation between the two sides at multiple levels and in multiple fields.
After a while, he expressed deep concern and concern for Yang Weiping's current situation in the Huaxia Continent. He reminded Yang Weiping that he must always be vigilant against the political movements that took place in China in the past, and repeatedly stressed that although the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) has now proposed that class struggle should no longer be taken as the key link, it is very difficult to eliminate this concept of class struggle rooted in the minds of the leaders of the older generation of the CPC Central Committee in a short period of time.
Had it not been for the purge and unfair treatment of the KMT generals who defected to Cheng during the great turmoil of those years, the KMT authorities in Taiwan might have considered a third cooperation between the KMT and the CPC, but now they are afraid of the CCP government on the mainland.
Chiang congratulated China on its brilliant victory in the Annam War, claiming that it had demonstrated the national and military prestige of the Chinese Celestial Empire, and vaguely expressed his concern about whether the Chinese Communist Party would launch an armed war to recover Taiwan and the Gulf.
Next, the eldest prince of Chiang solemnly expressed his gratitude to Yang Weiping for the view that Taiwan does not need democratic politics today put forward in the Yang family estate in Nairobi, claiming that without Yang Weiping's emphasis and reminder, he would probably have been persuaded by Taiwan's own political forces by now.
At present, Taiwan's own political strength has given rise to signs of dissatisfaction with the dominance of foreign KMT and political power in Taiwan's political and economic structure, and the signs of attempting to divide and disintegrate KMT's rule over Taiwan by organizing democratic parties are becoming more and more obvious.
Chiang Dagongzi hoped to deepen the multi-faceted cooperation with the Tiangong Group and get rid of the status quo of the Kuomintang and Kuomintang authorities' dependence on Taiwan's local industrial and commercial enterprises in the economic aspect.
At the end of the letter, Jiang Dagongzi expressed regret and apology for not being able to come to the mainland to attend Yang Weiping's engagement ceremony in person, and made it clear that he did not dare to come, for fear that he would not be able to go back.
After reading the letter carefully, Yang Weiping carefully folded it in two and put it in his pocket.
"Brother Xiaowu, it seems that there are still too many misunderstandings and misunderstandings between Jiang Gong and the high-level leaders of the National Army about our party's ruling principles and concepts!" Yang Weiping sighed with emotion and said: "During the ten years of turmoil, too many incredible and absurd things have happened.
Some special things that happen during a special period should not be regarded as normal behaviors and phenomena. I used to say that in those ten years, our whole country was sick, and very sick. In my opinion, this is an inevitable bump and pain in the process of development of a political party and a country.
Fortunately, our party corrected its mistakes in a timely manner and objectively criticized and corrected its past mistakes. Each of us has been born in this world from the time we were born in this world, to the time we have learned to speak, to walk, and to run.
People are like this, and so is a country and a political party, how can you see a rainbow if you don't experience wind and rain? Therefore, Brother Xiaowu, as long as I, Yang Weiping, a big capitalist, live well in China, all your previous worries are groundless.
I once had many in-depth discussions with my grandfather, the No. 1 head of the current Chinese government, on the issues of the mainland and Taiwan. I have to say that my grandfather's political wisdom is truly unparalleled, and he put forward a plan of 'one country, two systems,' and I have every reason to believe that one country, two systems is the most effective political proposition for bringing about the third joint cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and realizing the peaceful reunification of the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait!"
"One country, two systems?" Jiang Xiaowu frowned deeply and muttered to himself: "As the name suggests, that is, one country, two systems, the mainland practices socialism and believes in communism, and Taiwan continues capitalism and believes in the Three People's Principles?"
"That's right! Yang Weiping nodded and said: "Our party has set up a special economic zone on the southeast coast, and what is implemented there is actually a capitalist market free economic system. Therefore, we can also set up Taiwan to form a special administrative zone government, and Taiwanese people will govern Taiwan!" )
