Chapter 421: Elder Li's Shock

...... "You say it again?"

Seeing the old man's stunned appearance, Liu Dong hurriedly said carefully: "Old man, I want to rebuild the Old Summer Palace!" To be honest, he was still very afraid that Li Lao would say that he was so ambitious.

Moreover, the reconstruction of the Old Summer Palace, which caused a sensation in the whole country, involved too many things in all aspects, and it was not just money that could be done, so he also needed Optimus Prime like Li Lao to support him.

"What's the matter, old man, I heard you upstairs when you were so surprised!" At this time, Mrs. Li came down from the second floor.

"Oh, it's Xiaodong here!"

Seeing this, Liu Dong hurriedly stood up, "Grandma Li!"

"Sit down, child, I'll wash your fruit and eat!" Because the old couple are very strong, there is no nanny in this house, and everything is done by themselves.

"Don't bother, Grandma Li!"

"It's all right, I'll be fine in a moment!" said the old lady, turning and going back into the kitchen.

"Okay, Xiaodong sit down!" After the old man waved his hand, Liu Dong sat down as he said.

"Have you made up your mind to rebuild the Old Summer Palace? This is not a trivial matter, not to mention the administrative difficulties, but spending money is not a decimal!" said Old Man Li sternly.

"Well, Mr. Li, I've decided! Maybe Brother Li hasn't told you yet, I ...... when I went to visit the Panjiayuan ghost market last night!"

"All the design drawings of the Old Summer Palace, are you telling the truth?" The shock in Old Man Li's heart was even worse than when he heard that Liu Dong wanted to rebuild the Old Summer Palace just now.

"Yes. The drawings are very detailed. It can ensure the maximum restoration of the real indoor and outdoor scenes of the Old Summer Palace!" Liu Dong remembered this. I couldn't help but be very excited. This drawing is a godsend.

"Okay, great!" The old man, who couldn't suppress his excitement, got up from the sofa and walked back and forth a few times before finally calming down.

"No, I have to see it for myself, go, go!" The old man's temper came up, and he took Liu Dong's arm and walked outside without saying anything.

Seeing the old man like this. Liu Dong didn't refuse, as for those national treasures placed here, it's nothing to delay the time, anyway, in Yuquan Mountain, Liu Dong is the least worried about safety.

Moreover, with Li Lao, an old antique dealer who has been obsessed with him for half his life, his things will not be damaged in the slightest.

"Hey, where are you two going, I've cut all this fruit!" When the old lady came out of the kitchen, she only saw the backs of the two of them when they got into the car.

"This dead old man. It's almost eighty, and I still haven't changed this temper. The old lady muttered. Picked up the phone on the table and asked the reason, and then let go of this heart.

The Hongqi car, which belonged to the old man, drove very smoothly, and after spending more than half an hour through the streets and alleys, he soon arrived at the small courtyard where Liu Dong lived.

When the two arrived, the courtyard door was locked, and according to Liu Dong's understanding, Zhang's mother should have gone out to buy vegetables at this time. Fortunately, he had the key himself, so it was easy to open the door and take Li Lao to the east wing where he lived. And Li Lao, who had just entered the door, saw at a glance that Liu Dong was stacked on the bedside table, wrapped in a high stacked oilcloth.

Among these oilcloth packages, except for the three packages opened by Liu Dong and Jiang Tingting when they were first taken out, the rest were basically unopened.

"This is the design drawing of the Old Summer Palace's 'upper and lower skylight', it is really detailed!" The old man took the third package of drawings that Liu Dong and the others opened. And the third package is indeed the design drawings of the Old Summer Palace's 'Upper and Lower Skylight' and 'Xinghua Spring Pavilion'!

"These oilcloth packages are all drawings?The drawings of the Old Summer Palace?" After the old man spent nearly two hours and read all the drawings in the three oilcloth packages that had been opened, he glared at Liu Dong and asked.

"Yes, all of them, why don't I open them again for you to see?"

"Forget it, just read that!" the old man waved his hand. After carefully sorting out all the opened drawings and putting them back in place, the old man looked at Liu Dong with a sigh of relief and said, "No wonder your kid swears to rebuild the Old Summer Palace, it turns out that you have these drawings!"

"Tell me, what do you want my old man to help you with?" asked the old man as he sat down on the bed.

"Hehe, you're really ......wise!" Liu Dong sneered.

"Okay, don't put a high hat on my old man, let's talk ugly in front, I support you if you plan to rebuild the Old Summer Palace, but I can't give you the money to repair the garden!

Hearing this, Liu Dong's spirit was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "Old man, don't worry, I will solve the money matter myself, but you know that the Old Summer Palace occupies too much land, so I still need you to come forward to help me apply, and once this matter is exposed, there will be a lot of controversy, especially ...... within the government!"

Although Liu Dong didn't finish speaking, the old man also knew the meaning of his words.

After hundreds of years of historical changes, the Old Summer Palace is no longer just a garden built by the Qing Dynasty royal family for recreation, but with the Second Opium War and millions of precious collections that have been scattered abroad, it has become a representative of the humiliation of the Chinese nation in modern times.

Once the reconstruction is announced, it is bound to attract attention from all over the country, and it will also encounter resistance from all sides. With Liu Dong's strength alone, it is likely that he will not be able to withstand such a great pressure. After all, he's just a businessman.

In addition, never doubt the greed of officials, especially the reconstruction of the Old Summer Palace, which costs hundreds of billions of dollars, if no one reaches out.

Moreover, the current Old Summer Palace Ruins Park receives millions of tourists every year, and a large amount of monetary income involves the interests of too many people.

It can be said that this is another huge resistance.

Therefore, if Liu Dong wants to rebuild the Old Summer Palace, he must have a figure like Li Lao to block the pressure from the government.

After listening to Liu Dong's words, the old man closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "Since you have the original design of the Old Summer Palace, then rebuilding the Old Summer Palace is not a 'paper talk', and you kid have such great ambitions, although the old man is old, he still has a little courage in his heart...... Don't worry, when the time comes, I'll help you out!"

"Thank you, Mr. Li!" Liu Dong said happily.

After waving his hand, the old man said with a stern expression: "Xiaodong, you have to think about it carefully, this matter is not trivial, once it starts, it is destined to attract the attention of the whole country and the world, unless the construction is completed, the pressure you are carrying will be unimaginable!"

"Old man, I have thought about it clearly, I know that the investment in rebuilding the Old Summer Palace is huge, and there are many difficulties, but people always have to set a goal for themselves in this life, don't they? Now I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and the money I earn can't be spent in a few lifetimes, instead of taking this money to the grave, it's better to do a few vigorous things, and leave a name in history in the future, even if I didn't come to the world in vain!" Liu Dong said sincerely.

After listening to Liu Dong's words, looking at the solemn look on his face, the old man was also a little touched in his heart.

"Since you have made up your mind, then I won't say anything! When the time comes, come to me when you encounter difficulties!" The old man patted Liu Dong on the shoulder!

"Hmm!"

Seeing Liu Dong nodding, the old man continued to ask, "Since you want to rebuild the Old Summer Palace, do you have a plan now?"

"Because the time is so short, I haven't figured out where to rebuild it yet, and now I don't have enough money and I don't have a lot of collections, so I want to wait another two years!"

Liu Dong's caution satisfied the old man's heart. Although there is no rough plan for the reconstruction of the Old Summer Palace, you can understand how much money will be needed to complete it if you think about it.

Therefore, the more prepared you are, the higher your chances of successfully rebuilding the Old Summer Palace.

Next, the two discussed for a few more hours, and it was not until Mrs. Li called that the two realized that it was already dark outside, and the time was also nine o'clock in the evening.

However, Mr. Li, who was completely aroused by Liu Dong's interest, did not go back at night and stayed here directly. The two discussed until late at night, and it was not until they came up with a rough framework that Liu Dong arranged for the unfinished old man to sleep.

Of course, the reconstruction of the Old Summer Palace was too big, so it was impossible to achieve anything in a short time, so the next day, after having breakfast, Mr. Li took the car back.

After sending Li Lao away, Liu Dong took out a knife and wrapped it in the rice paper he bought from Rong Bao Zhai, and then took a car and drove towards Qi Lao's residence.

In addition to bringing back the framed Xue Ji's "Ruihe Picture" at the request of Qi Lao, Liu Dong also wanted to see how the security conditions of the most precious calligraphy and painting in his hand were Zhang Shengqiu's "Five Elements and Twenty-Eight Residences True Form Map"!

"Not bad!" As soon as he got out of the taxi, Liu Dong's relics Yuanguang found that at least eight elite security personnel in Qi Lao's mansion had noticed the movement outside.

Moreover, from these people, Liu Dong felt a strong spirit of marching, and it was obvious that they were once the most elite soldiers of the Republic.

"Hello, I made an appointment with Qi Lao!" Looking at the strong man in black who opened the door, Liu Dong said.

"Documents!" Facing the friendly smile on Liu Dong's face, the security personnel with a cold and hard expression turned a blind eye and faithfully carried out their tasks.

There was no way, Liu Dong had to take out his ID card.

"Wait a minute!" The strong man in black looked at Liu Dong for a while, and after seeing that the photo on the ID card was the same person as the reality, the vigilance in his tone relaxed a little, and then he took out a small black walkie-talkie from his waist and asked his companion inside to ask Liu Dong's identity.
