Chapter 1366 Art Club
Cheng Xiaoyu and Xu Qinning got out of the car, and there were two beautiful girls wearing blue-green Hanfu and combing their hair in buns standing at the door, and the green bamboos in their eyes contrasted with each other, like a Chinese painting that was fascinating.
When they saw Cheng Xiaoyu and Xu Qinning, the two delicate girls obviously had their eyes lit up into twinkling stars, and they said with some excited expressions: "Yushen, Miss Xu, welcome to the Art Club...."
Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and nodded, and was about to ask the little girl to take them to Feiying Building, but they happened to raise their eyes and saw the six-sided pagoda outside the door, the scriptures on it were slightly mottled, but the spirit was transcendent and long-lasting, and on both sides of the wooden door were the couplets engraved on the brown wooden boards: "The long corridor banana listens to the sound of the rain, and the elegant room is full of ink fragrance", plus the elegant three words "Art Hall", all of which reflect the quiet charm of the literati.
When he was concentrating, Chang Yue, who had been waiting at the door, flashed out from inside, waved his hand to greet Xu Qinning first, and then said to Cheng Xiaoyu: "Fortunately, I have been waiting at the door, otherwise you would have to walk in by yourself..."
Cheng Xiaoyu joked: "If I don't walk in by myself, are you still going to use the eight-lift sedan chair to carry me in?"
Chang Yue said seriously: "As long as you want, don't say eight lifts, I'll get you sixteen lifts." ”
Cheng Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "You are also bored, so you are waiting for me at the door, right?
Chang Yue said: "Of course, the two of us can eat without being polite, but my father-in-law and Secretary-General Lu have to be polite if they are not polite inside....." After a pause, he said: "But to be honest, I'd rather stand outside and wait for you than sit inside, I listened to the two old people chatting inside this afternoon, and I was sitting like pins and needles, you didn't see that I was sweating..."
Cheng Xiaoyu patted Chang Yue's arm to show understanding, and then said, "Secretary General Lu and your father-in-law came so early?
Chang Yue nodded, turned around and entered the ancient wooden door, Cheng Xiaoyu and Xu Qinning followed, and there were two accompanying bodyguards behind him, and entered the courtyard with a beautiful scenery of Jiangnan gardens, pavilions, rockeries, strange stones, the whole garden is like floating on a blue-green lake, black and white buildings are occasionally embellished, and in addition to the swimming pond of koi, there are all kinds of cyan trees and flowers.
Xu Qinning, who was holding Cheng Xiaoyu, looked at it while walking: "Shanghai actually has such an elegant hall, I actually only found out today." ”
Chang Yue turned around and stopped slightly, and said: "The Art Hall is still a bit of a beginning, in fact, it turns out that this is just a not too big courtyard, which is a well-known collector, artist, The place where businessman Li Jian used to collect some of the antiques he bought, and then as he collected more and more things, the original yard was not enough, so he bought some land around the yard, planning to make a more beautiful collection museum, but he did not expect to encounter some trouble in business, and originally wanted to sell some antiques for money, but he thought that the antiques he bought were basically fake, not only could not be exchanged for money, but also were ridiculed by experts.....
Chang Yue paused and asked, "Guess what's going on?"
Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said: "I didn't expect the antiques to be worthless, but it was originally a worthless land on the outskirts of the city, and the price has turned upside down, right?"
Chang Yue shook his head and said: "At that time, no one thought that the land price could rise like this, Li Jian planned to sell the yard at a low price and make some money, but this yard was written in his daughter's name, and his daughter did not agree to sell it, saying that it was better to use these worthless things to build a guild hall than to sell it..... So there was the Art Club...."
Chang Yue pointed to the stone carvings hidden in the middle of the flowers and trees in the courtyard and said: "Don't underestimate these stone carvings, these stone lions, stone house constructions, stone bolts and horse piles are all from the surrounding areas he worked hard to get back, including these antique pavilions and small buildings, all of which he bought from Dongyang, Zhejiang and other places in the Ming and Qing dynasties, dismantled and transported to Shanghai, and then reassembled together.... At that time, there were few places like the fashion sea, and the art hall did have style, so the fame gradually grew, so Li Jian gave up the original business and concentrated on running this hall, the business was not bad, in fact, he made some money over the years and invested in the hall, but he didn't expect that the land price in Yuepu Town was so high that it was about to catch up with the listing area, and suddenly became a billionaire worth hundreds of millions...... Since the start of your Xichu theme park, the nearby real estate has doubled, the first-hand house is gone, and the second-hand house has reached 30,000 square meters, no wonder you just came back, you asked me to buy some houses in Yuepu Town....."
Cheng Xiaoyu said with a smile: "It's not a pity, if you really buy it, I will advise you to let it go now, it is not advisable to speculate on real estate, and the state will soon regulate housing prices....."
Chang Yue heard that Cheng Xiaoyu had revealed another big secret, and immediately came to his senses, turned his head to look at Cheng Xiaoyu and said, "Yes? Do you have any definite news? The state has said that it will regulate housing prices, and it has been said for many years, and this is not higher and higher..."
Cheng Xiaoyu said with a smile: "I have no news, purely guessing, now housing prices have caused great damage to the real economy, and if you don't control it ruthlessly, the more you get to the back, the more difficult it will be for the economy to land softly...."
Chang Yue really didn't know much about the economy, so he listened to the clouds and mountains and asked directly: "Do you say that housing prices will fall?"
Cheng Xiaoyu shook his head and said: "How can the country allow housing prices to fall..."
Chang Yue was about to ask carefully, but he heard the voices of Lu Guotao and his father-in-law, it turned out that they had already arrived at the place of eating, and Lu Guotao and Yang Junwen had been waiting for Cheng Xiaoyu at the door of Feiying Building for a long time.
A few people first stood under the black and white classic Hui-style building Feiying Building, which was full of nostalgic meditations, and greeted for a long time, especially today not only Cheng Xiaoyu came, but Xu Qinning also came, which was a particularly exciting point for the two powerful figures in Shanghai.
Before entering the building, Chang Yue whispered to Cheng Xiaoyu: "This building is Boss Li from Hui Province, it is said that this building was built in 1877, that is, the second year of Guangxu, the remains of genuine history, the reason why it is called "Feiying Building", because the original name of the house is called "Feiying Building", built in the area above Quzhou, it is said that the famous Chen Liang school has been here to lecture on the friends, this house is generally not open to the public, today is Secretary General Lu and Li Jian Li boss opened the mouth. ”
Of course, Cheng Xiaoyu understood the meaning of Chang Yue's words, and didn't say much, just nodded to show that he understood, and a few people entered the house, and there were a lot of antique collections in the hall, ranging from complete Buddha statues to small jade pendants, as well as various stone carvings, wood carvings, and brick carvings...... And these antiques are not offered in glass boxes, the owner seems to have placed them inadvertently, just waiting for someone to appreciate and play with them.
Lu Guotao turned around and saw that Cheng Xiaoyu's gaze fell on these antiques placed everywhere, with a Chinese character face, and Lu Guotao, who was very heroic with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, said: "If you look at these things Xiaoyu, you can take them away..."
Cheng Xiaoyu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I don't have a hobby for antiques, I just look at them casually." ”
Lu Guotao said with a smile: "These are some fakes that Lao Li bought from the fool, not real guys, if it is true, do you think that the slammer will be willing to put them where anyone can take them?"
Cheng Xiaoyu said: "Then this Boss Li is really a lot." ”
Lu Guotao stopped and said: "Back then, he invited experts from the museum to see it, and most of his collection was fake, but he was angry, but then he opened this art club, and when he got some money, he started to buy again, I said you are stupid? You still buy some fake things and waste money? Is it easy for you to make money? Lao Li said to me: I don't care if it's real or fake, as long as it's what I like, just play, I buy things to make others envious or happy?—— of course it's more important to be happy?"
Cheng Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, looking at the dazzling array of objects, and then said after a while: "No wonder it's called the Art Club..... This Boss Li is such a wonderful person...."
Xu Qinning, who was beside her, instantly felt the change in Cheng Xiaoyu, secretly pinched him, and whispered in her ear: "Yo! What spirit have you comprehended?
Cheng Xiaoyu didn't expect Xu Qinning to be so sensitive, so she turned her head and said helplessly: "If I were a person who loves to play, would I be like this now? I'm afraid that gossip magazines are full of covers every day!"
