Chapter 1123 The Burden of Fame

……

"Brother Dong, your phone?"

"Just say I'm not at home!" Liu Dong frowned and replied unceremoniously.

"Oh, got it!"

When Chen Bao's words fell, Liu Dong couldn't help but sigh deeply, and a wry smile appeared on his face!

Originally, he was already very cautious in the display of the exhibits of the Yuanming Museum! The few treasures that were really influential in his hands were not taken out. But even so, Liu Dong didn't expect that the artworks he took out for exhibition could form such an uproar at home and abroad!

In China, the record-breaking three-minute broadcast of the Central News Network made the Yuanming Museum, as well as hundreds of national treasure-level cultural relics exhibited in the museum, as well as a large number of rare treasures such as "Yaochi Holy Realm", "Nine Dragon Cup" and "Dinosaur Amber Fossils", truly resounding throughout the country.

In foreign countries, the paintings of the three Renaissance jewels da Vinci and Raphael, as well as the works of Titian, Rembrandt, Dürer, Van Gogh and a large number of famous master painters, plus a large number of Central Asian and Indian artworks that are rare in the world, have completely made the Yuanming Museum on the front page of the world's major newspapers such as The Times and the New York Times. At the same time, it has also become the darling of international TV giants such as Sky TV and BBC!

Affected by this, there are many reporters and media at home and abroad who want to interview Liu Dong, the actual owner of the museum, like Jiang Zhiqing!

In addition, those art institutions and domestic museums of various countries who covet the treasures of the Yuanming Museum and want to take advantage of him with the so-called national righteousness. The various characters really annoyed Liu Dong.

Of course, these are not his biggest headaches. What really makes him impatient are the people who come to him through his friends around the bush!

These people either have money. Either there is a background! Each one is not easy to refuse.

But they opened their mouths to buy the treasured collection in Liu Dong's hands. The attitude of how to keep his mouth shut was what to do in the future, so that Liu Dong directly pushed away all the visits.

Anyway, with Li Lao, friends like Zhou Bin and Li Yuncong, he is not afraid of offending these official people, and as for business, Liu Dong is even less worried!

Liu Dong, who is worth tens of billions, is no longer able to move anyone!

However, even so, it is not a matter that the phone is turned off every day!

"Let's change the number again!" Liu Dong sighed in his heart.

Come to think of it. Liu Dong put down the book in his hand, got up and walked out of the study.

"Xiaobao, I'll go out!"

"Where are you going?" before you said that the house is quiet now?" Looking at Liu Dong who walked from the study to the living room, Chen Bao stood up and said in surprise.

"Do you see that we are quiet now?" Liu Dong shook his head.

"Huh?"

Chen Bao was stunned for a moment, remembering the dozens of phone calls a day at home during this time, it seemed that it was really not much quieter!

Even, if it weren't for Liu Dong, the address of the courtyard house was only known to a few close friends such as Zhou Bin and Li Yuncong, and Liu Dong had specially instructed them not to leak it. I guess it's not just about calling your door these days!

"Alright. You're at home, I'll go out and run some errands. Come back soon!"

"Okay!"

Hearing Liu Dong say this, Chen Bao nodded.

"Hey, by the way, why haven't you been to the museum these days?" When Liu Dong walked to the door, he reacted suddenly.

Since the establishment of the Yuanming Museum, except for Li Lao, who is really in charge, Chen Bao has been following Li Lao to participate in the management of the museum! Although his ability in the identification of cultural relics is basically equal to zero, the ability of the bachelor's degree in economics and management of the University of Munich in Germany has no problem at all when it comes to managing a museum.

Therefore, during this time, Li Lao had the intention of promoting Chen Bao to the deputy director of the museum!

Moreover, Chen Bao is also very willing to accumulate some practical management experience for himself before taking over the family business.

"Elder Li said, the museum is closed for rest today!" After Chen Bao finished lazily, he lay on the sofa in the living room.

"Closed?" Liu Dong said in surprise.

It's only been a week since the museum opened?

Li Lao was afraid that there would be too many tourists and cause certain damage to the safety of the cultural relics in the museum, so he deliberately closed the museum for one day to do a comprehensive inspection of the safety of the museum and the cultural relics, and at the same time gave those of us who had been busy for a week a holiday and rested!

"I see!" Liu Dong nodded suddenly.

"By the way, how many people are visiting the Yuanming Museum now?" asked Liu Dong with interest.

Originally, he thought that his Yuanming Museum was newly built and not well-known, and if he wanted to operate without relying on his paving funds, he would have to rely on his own Jiahua Travel Service to guide visitors.

Unexpectedly, Liu Dong did not use this last step at all? Relying only on the world-class treasures in his hands, the Yuanming Museum has already become famous all over the world! The visitors are rolling in.

This is also the only bit of comfort in Liu Dong's annoying situation!

"So far, we have counted 320,000 people who have visited our museum!" Chen Bao's tone revealed a kind of excitement.

"320,000 people, so many?" Liu Dong was a little surprised, after all, it was only a week!

"That's right, 320,000! And judging from the current ticket sales, the number of visitors next week will be even more than this week! If nothing else, we can maintain the current situation for two months!"

"Okay, two months is already very good! After all, we are still a few grades away from the world's top museums!" Although he said this, Liu Dong's tone was still a little regretful!

But this is also a matter of no way, in the precious things, the freshness is over. Naturally, it was the first attraction, and there were 320,000 visitors a week. The British Museum, the Louvre, the Forbidden City. None of these top museums can reach this level. At present, in terms of the quantity and quality of the collection, the Yuanming Museum, which is several levels behind these world giants, is naturally unable to maintain the current number of visitors.

Even, Liu Dong estimates that after waiting for three or four months, or even half a year, the Old Ming Museum will be able to maintain 50,000 visitors per week, and Liu Dong is already very satisfied!

"Brother Dong, it's up to you!"

"Rely on me, rely on me, what?" Liu Dong, who was immersed in his own thoughts, was a little inexplicable by Chen Bao's words.

"Of course, it's up to you, a treasure boy, to collect the museum's collections! Antiques of the level of 'Yaochi Sacred Realm' and 'Shark Tears' will only be enough to come with a dozen pieces every year! When the time comes, I guarantee that our Yuanming Museum will be full of people every day!" Chen Bao hurriedly said.

"Do you think that treasures of the level of 'Yaochi Holy Realm' and 'Shark Tears' are Chinese cabbage?"

"Hehe, of course it's not Chinese cabbage! But Brother Dong, you are a 'treasure boy', and now you are a well-known expert master in the industry! In just two years since your debut, you have accumulated a world-class museum, and there are countless good things in your hands. So if you change the character that is definitely impossible for others to complete, you will definitely have no problem!" Chen Bao hurriedly said.

"No problem, it's so easy to say!" Liu Dong shook his head, treasures of the level of 'Yaochi Sacred Realm', 'Shark Tears' and 'Nine Dragon Cup' were not only outstanding in terms of appraisal ability. It also takes a certain amount of luck.

Liu Dong has no shortage of identification ability, and he does not know the relics of Yuanguang. But luck is such an illusory thing, Liu Dong can't guarantee it!

Of course, this kind of topic must not be able to be said to Chen Bao's big mouth.

"Okay, I'm not going to talk to you. Since you are resting today, then take a good rest, I'll go out!" As he spoke, Liu Dong stepped out of the door.

"Brother Dong, don't forget to go to Panjiayuan and Liulichang, maybe you can pick up some big leaks......

Listening to the words coming from behind him, Liu Dong shook his head and did not respond.

Now, because of the affairs of the Yuanming Museum, he is standing on the cusp. Now when I go to Panjiayuan and Liulichang, isn't that uncomfortable?

Those guys who want to take the opportunity to climb relationships and talk about favors are worried about whether to find him?

After driving out of the house, first going to the mobile phone store to buy a new mobile phone, and then applying for a new card, Liu Dong came to Qi's hometown!

Seeing that there were no extra vehicles parked outside Qi Laomen, Liu Dong breathed a sigh of relief! After parking the car on the side of the road, Liu Dong strode to the door with the gift he had bought.

Looking at the door locked from the inside, Liu Dong took out the key directly from his pocket, opened the door and walked in.

At that time, Qi Lao's legs and feet were not good, and although his nephew was filial, he could not always follow him and serve. Later, when he was treated, in order to make it easier for Liu Dong to enter and exit, the key was in his hands. Later, Qi Lao recovered from his illness, and the key was simply confiscated.

When I opened the door and walked in, I saw Old Man Qi standing in the courtyard doing Tai Chi.

Since his legs and feet were healed, in addition to calligraphy, painting and appraisal, Qi Lao fell in love with this kind of fitness exercise suitable for all ages.

"Old Qi, why are you still locking the door here in broad daylight?" After the old man finished a set of routines and stood up, Liu Dong stepped forward with a smile and asked.

"It's not because of you!" Qi Lao said angrily.

"Because of me?"

"Yes, those who know that I know you are a treasure boy come to me every day to inquire about you, and even let me, an old man, introduce you on your behalf. It's so annoying that I'm an old fellow, so I just lock the door!

Listening to the old man's tone, he was obviously annoyed! So Liu Dong wisely changed the topic.

"Old Qi, ...... you came to me this time?"

As soon as Liu Dong's words fell, he saw the old man beckoning, "You come with me!"

Looking at Qi Lao, who turned around and walked towards the house, Liu Dong was quite puzzled, but he was not slow at his feet, and hurriedly followed.

After entering the hall, Qi Lao did not stop, but took Liu Dong into the study on the left!

"Xiaodong, help me take down the boxes on the bookshelf!"

"Box?" Liu Dong looked up at the top of the calligraphy and painting placed against the wall, and a black leather case placed against the wall! The leather box is very well preserved, but from the old design and dull color, it can be seen that this is an old object from the sixties and seventies of the last century, or even earlier!

From the perspective of collection, with the degree of its good preservation, if it is sold on the market, you may find something you like, and you can sell it for a few hundred dollars!

Of course, these thoughts only flashed through Liu Dong's mind. After Qi's old words, he had already stepped on the stool non-stop and moved the black suitcase off the bookshelf.

At 80 centimeters long, 50 centimeters wide and nearly 25 centimeters thick, the suitcase was no different in size from today's medium-sized suitcases. And it was in his hands, and Liu Dong didn't feel how heavy it was.

Under the command of Qi Lao, Liu Dong put the suitcase on the long table near the window.

At this time, Qi Lao had already taken out a small key from his body and opened the golden lock on the box. But this is not the end, seeing that Qi Lao opened the password lock on the box and really opened the box, Liu Dong was also a little surprised.

"I didn't expect the protective means of the suitcase of the last century to be so tight!"

With this thought, Liu Dong's attention was on the box that Qi Lao slowly opened.

Looking at the calligraphy and painting scrolls stored inside the box, Liu Dong was not surprised. However, when Li Lao took out most of the calligraphy and painting scrolls and put them on the table next to him, and finally there were only three calligraphy and painting scrolls left in the box, Liu Dong's eyes showed a touch of surprise!

He didn't use relics in the Yuanguang, but he can see the extraordinaryness of the three paintings and calligraphy that are slightly antique.

Moreover, after Qi Lao saw these three paintings, the memories and emotions revealed from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows made Liu Dong understand the status of these three works in the old man's heart.

Of course, Liu Dong was inevitably curious about the content of the paintings.

"Old Li, ...... this?"

Old Man Qi, who was not in a hurry to answer Liu Dong's question, stretched out his hands, and with a slightly cautious expression, took out one of the scrolls and handed it to Liu Dong.

"Open it up and see for yourself!"

After glancing at Qi Lao suspiciously, Liu Dong, who was a little curious in his heart, didn't say much. Holding the scroll in both hands, after placing it in the empty space of the long table, carefully untie the knots on it, and after calming down, hold the painting stick with his left hand, and gently exert his right hand, and a long scroll slowly unfolds in front of him!
