Chapter 1114: The Old Ming Museum (I)

……

After returning from Jiang's house, Liu Dong devoted himself to the preparations for the opening of the Yuanming Museum. In addition to taking time out of time every day to accompany Jiang Tingting to go shopping, watch movies, and do some things she loves to do! There are no other superfluous worries for the time being! As for the little cousin Chen Bao, Liu Dong found an excuse to send him to the museum and go to help under Old Li!

However, the free time always flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is time for the museum to open.

And on this day, Liu Dong also put on formal clothes, followed Li Lao to the Yuanming Museum early, and began to prepare for it!

"Xiaobao, are you ready?"

"Don't worry, old man! It's been ready for a long time! Chen Bao hurriedly said.

"That's good! There are a lot of people here today, so don't drop the chain when the time comes! After finishing speaking, Li Lao instructed again.

"Hey, what about Liu Dong?"

After explaining Chen Bao, Li Lao asked after taking a look in the hall full of tables and chairs.

"Oh, Brother Dong has already gone outside to prepare for the reception!" Chen Bao hurriedly said.

"I see, you go get busy!" Li Lao nodded and said.

"Old man, then I'll go first!"

"Hmm!"

Looking at the back of Chen Bao turning around and leaving quickly, Li Lao nodded with satisfaction, Liu Dong's cousin has a good character and knowledge, and he is also smart and knows how to advance and retreat, "It's a good child!" ”

And standing outside the door at this moment, on the red carpet leading to the street, Liu Dong looked behind him, although it was not high. But it also reaches nine floors. And the renovated twin buildings. There was a look of satisfaction on his face!

Although not even a quarter of the twin buildings with an indoor area of more than 80,000 square meters are now used by Liu Dong, considering that as a transition before the completion of the construction of the Old Summer Palace, it will take at least ten years here, Liu Dong does not have the slightest idea of wasting in his heart.

And at this moment, a strong man in a black suit, full of fierce energy, and a serious expression. After coming out of the venue, he walked straight to Liu Dong's side.

"Mr. Liu, the chief asked me to tell you that the time is almost up!"

"I know! Wu Xiong, you tell Old Li that it's okay to leave it to me here, and let his old man receive him inside! ”

"Yes!"

Promise simply, go neatly!

But Liu Dong didn't think much of himself. And this guy is a talent found by Li Lao, not only has combat ability, but also is proficient in various anti-espionage methods. With him in charge of the security of the museum, Liu Dong is also relieved!

I looked at my watch, and it was past six o'clock in the morning! And at this time, there is a temporary parking place outside the gate. It's finally no longer empty!

"Brother Zhou?"

Liu Dong never thought that the first person to arrive today was Zhou Bin, who he hadn't seen for more than half a year!

"Haha, Xiaodong. Congratulations, congratulations! ”

"Rejoice, rejoice! Brother Zhou, aren't you going to Macau? Why did you rush back so quickly? Liu Dong arched his hand and said with a smile.

"How can I not dare to come back for such a big event as the opening of your kid's private museum!" As he spoke, Zhou Bin handed the gift box in his hand to Liu Dong!

"I bought it from someone else when I came, and it's right for your kid's taste! Take it! ”

Hearing this, Liu Dong was not polite! Welcoming and sending is one of the ways to connect with each other! And now the relationship between Liu Dong and Zhou Bin has reached a time when you don't have to worry about this!

"Then you're welcome!"

"You're welcome! And Xiaodong, let me tell you, Macau's casinos should be open for business by the end of this year! ”

"So fast?" Liu Dong was surprised.

He knew very well that the huge casino construction plan formulated by He Chaoqiong at the beginning would definitely not be completed in two or three years.

"Hehe, it's not as fast as you think, but let's finish building part of the casino first, and then slowly replenish the rest! It's important to make money! Zhou Bin said.

"That's right!" Liu Dong agreed.

The number of years allowed for a Macau casino license is only 30 years, which seems to be a long time, but it is very short for running a business.

Moreover, the gambling industry is profitable, so it is natural to open the door as soon as possible!

Seeing that there were new guests behind him, Zhou Bin knew that it was not good to chat with Liu Dongdan now, "You have someone here!" I'll go in first, and I'll look for you tomorrow!" ”

"No problem!"

After agreeing and seeing Zhou Bin walk into the hall, Liu Dong hurriedly handed Zhou Bin's gift box in his hand to the security guard behind him!

This time he opened the museum, and most of the people invited were people in the antique circle, and these people's gifts must be antiques, although they may not be very valuable, but for ordinary people, they must be worth a lot!

Therefore, for the receipt of gifts, it is done by the museum's security personnel!

"Liu Dong, congratulations!" Wen Shuren shouted angrily from afar.

"Why did several seniors come together?" Liu Dongdao, who hurriedly walked down the steps to greet him.

"Hehe, a few of our old guys live relatively close, so we discussed it last night and came over together today!" Liang Fangxiu, who was walking on the left, said with a smile.

"Liu Dong, you kid is okay! This silent even private museum is open! When I received the invitation the other day, I was shocked! Wen Shuren scolded with a slight smile.

"Are you startled, is it envy and jealousy?" Ma Weiran, who was standing on the right side of Mr. Wen, did not give his old friend face at all, and immediately dismantled the stage.

"What's wrong with envy, your old king is not envious, he grinned at me yesterday?"

"Of course I'm envious, if I have a grandson like Xiaodong, it's worth it in this life!" Ma Weiran said with a little emotion.

"The two seniors have won the prize! Liu Dong is ashamed! Liu Dong hurriedly said.

Seeing him like this, Liang Fangxiu, who was out of the way, smiled and said, "Okay, Xiaodong, you should be busy with you first!" I'll bring these two troublesome old guys in first! ”

"That's good! Three seniors please! ”

Liu Dong hurriedly stretched out his hand to beckon a museum employee and asked her to walk in with three noisy old men.

But this has just sent three old men who are over sixty years old to enter, and there are three older generations here!

"Elder Qi, Elder Hong, Elder Dong, why did the three of you come together?" Liu Dong was surprised.

One of these three predecessors was the president of the Beijing Collection Association, the president of the Quancheng Collection Association, the president of the Chinese Calligraphers Association, and almost simultaneously served as an advisor to the Palace Museum and honorary chairman of the National Collection Association. As for other honorary professors, honorary experts and the like, I will not mention them. Basically, they are the top people in their respective industries.

Of course, they are also Liu Dong's most familiar top experts in the domestic appraisal industry!

"After I came to the capital, I lived directly with this old guy, so I came together!" Dong Lao smiled and pointed to Hong Changshan, who was also full of silver threads and in good spirits beside him.

"Hehe, I didn't look for you. It's you old guy who has to live with me! ”

"Xiaodong, don't pay attention to these two old disrespectful guys! Your museum opens today, and I don't have anything to give you! This painting is from my previous collection, so I will give it to you as a gift, and by the way, add some to your museum's collection! ”

Looking at the unwrapped calligraphy and painting scroll handed over by Qi Lao, Liu Dong took it with both hands respectfully, "Qi Lao, I'm ashamed!" ”

Although he didn't look at the content of this painting, with Qi Lao's ability to identify calligraphy and painting, it must not be an ordinary product that can be given to him as a congratulatory gift from him.

"The two of us will put this one in for you, otherwise you won't be able to come alone!" Hong Changshan said with a smile.

"Yes! Three seniors inside please! Liu Dong hurriedly said.

"You get busy first, and we'll go in first!" After Dong Lao finished speaking, the three of them got together and walked into the museum hall together, talking and laughing together, of course, behind the three of them also followed their respective disciples!

And after seeing Qi Lao and them leave, Liu Dong 'looked' at the scroll in his hand!

When the relics in the mustard seed space are in the sky above the "Ma Yuan's "Hanjiang Solo Fishing Map"" a few golden handwriting!

Seeing this result, even Liu Dong, who had been prepared for a long time, was a little surprised in his heart. Originally, he thought that the painting sent by Qi Lao would be the handwriting of a famous artist in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but he didn't want it to be the true handwriting of Ma Yuan, the 'Four Families of the Southern Song Dynasty'!

For no more than 10 of Ma Yuan's paintings in existence, any one of them is worth tens of millions of fine art.

"Qi Lao's move is really ......!" Liu Dong shook his head secretly in his heart. However, he also knows Qi Lao's current inner realm, and Ma Yuan's "Fishing Alone in the Cold River" is just a very cherished painting. I don't equate it with tens of millions of dollars like ordinary people.

Therefore, he will be willing to donate the antiques he has collected all his life to the museum for free, and he is even more willing to hand over his painting to Liu Dong. is also willing to live in poverty, but he uses his calligraphy to exchange money for those poor students to study and go to school!

This kind of mind and realm like the sages and saints of ancient times is far beyond the reach of the current Liu Dong!

It is precisely because of this that he has special respect for Qi Lao!

The book is back to the point, after sending them in, more and more people are slowly coming!

In addition to the people within the Quancheng Collection Association and the Beijing Collection Association invited by Liu Dong, many Liu Dong did not send invitations, and even a large number of people he didn't know came. This is also a person in the antique circle, others like Zhao Defa, Weichai. Sawan Susi's business friends and partners are coming even more!

If you count some friends in the political circles that Liu Dong knows, as well as second-generation children including Zhou Bin and Li Yuncong, plus various Beijing officials and other figures who came over because of Li Lao's face.

The hall on the first floor, which was originally spacious and no less than 1,000 square meters, was bustling with people! (To be continued.) )
