Chapter 1089: The Extravagant Reception Room
Zhang Tianyuan wanted to invite John. Frank Lampard had a meal, but John refused, and he had his nanny prepare an elaborate lunch and eat it at their home.
Although this meal is not luxurious, it can be regarded as allowing Zhang Tianyuan to see the horrors of British cuisine.
One of the dishes is called "Stargazing Pie", which tastes good, but the appearance is really miserable.
Looking up at the starry sky, what a poetic name, many people know this. The highest masterpiece in the world of dark cuisine. You look at the pie, the fish are lying in it, only their heads are exposed, Zhang Tianyuan has an urge to smoke the British to death, the peat fish is so delicious but used to make such a thing.
No wonder many netizens commented: It's better to call death a blind pie.
Chinese delicacy has always been particular about color, flavor, and flavor, and this color is in the first place, just this blind pie, no, it should be looking up at the starry sky pie, looking so ugly, it is simply the vanguard of the dark cuisine world, even if this thing tastes good, it can't afford it, looking at the miserable expressions of those fish, who is still in the mood to eat.
As a result, Liu Mengxun didn't eat this thing at all, but just ate some fruit salad, but the two reckless men, Snake Lin and Zhang Tianyuan, didn't care about it, and started directly with their eyes closed.
After it was over, John said that he wanted to go and see those antiques together, Zhang Tianyuan did not refuse, people helped him so much, it was okay to join in the fun, but Snake Lin did not follow, Snake Lin took the twenty-eight oil paintings back to the plane, carefully guarded, and ten of the fifty bodyguards were not arranged on the plane. Just in case.
Always take this thing with him, Zhang Tianyuan is not at ease. Before, it was because it was necessary to identify, so there was no way. can only take it, it doesn't matter now, when he has chosen something, it is not too late to take it out and re-identify it when the two parties officially trade.
After all, everyone is afraid that someone will transfer the contract during this period.
Zhang Tianyuan is afraid of the other party's contract, and the other party is also afraid of Zhang Tianyuan's contract, so the final appraisal is also indispensable.
Of course, for the safety of Zhang Tianyuan and Liu Mengxun, Zhanfei asked Blue Phoenix to come over to help. He is directing the remaining forty bodyguards to do things, these forty people are not a small number, to avoid the British police, but also to eat, drink and Lazar, a bunch of, without personal command will definitely not work.
About half an hour after eating, Amer over there. Sloan called, telling him that Zhang Tianyuan was ready to greet him. So they set out for it.
"Mr. Zhang, welcome to your museum...... You! I can't apologize to Mr. Zhang! ”
To Zhang Tianyuan's surprise, Amer . In order to get Zhang Tianyuan's twenty-eight oil paintings, Sloan actually called the two fat security guards yesterday. Let them apologize to Zhang Tianyuan in person.
In fact, Zhang Tianyuan didn't feel anything about this, but the old man was wronged yesterday. If you can meet again, you can take the old man into the warehouse to have a good look. Because he could see that the man really liked these Chinese cultural relics.
"Alright. Anyway, it's nothing, let them go and get busy, um, wait, did you see that old man yesterday today? Zhang Tianyuan asked suddenly.
"I've seen it, that person is here again today, crying to see the "Female History Atlas", but what can we do?"
"What about others?"
"Sitting alone in the China Pavilion, my hair was stunned, and I didn't know what I was thinking."
"Sir Amer, is it okay for me to bring in one more person?" Zhang Tianyuan asked.
"As long as you don't mess with things, that's fine." Amer. Sloan is now giving Zhang Tianyuan the green light all the way, and when he looks at it like this, he knows that he must be sure to get those paintings of Zhang Tianyuan.
"Then wait a minute, I'll go see this old man."
"No, let's just pass by the China Pavilion and talk about it there." Amer said.
Zhang Tianyuan thought about it, what he said, your old man may not believe it, if the director of the British Museum is with him, then the credibility will be greatly improved, so he nodded, and everyone set off for the China Pavilion together.
When he arrived at the China Pavilion, Zhang Tianyuan found that the old man came alone today, and the young people who were with him yesterday seemed to be gone, and he didn't know if it was affected by yesterday's events. When the old man listened to Zhang Tianyuan's words, he knelt down for Zhang Tianyuan with a "poof".
Zhang Tianyuan hurriedly helped him up and asked such an old gentleman to kneel for himself, which would be punished by God.
Zhang Tianyuan helped the old man along the way, followed Amer through the Chinese Pavilion, and walked for about ten minutes before arriving in the back office.
Although it is a dedicated office area, the design features are also characteristic of the Italian Renaissance.
Amer's office is about 100 square meters, which is really luxurious, this office works alone on weekdays, and there are no outsiders at all.
The office is divided into two spaces, one space is about 30 square meters, which is used for office, and the other is larger, which is used for meeting guests, and has been carefully decorated.
After entering this living room, Zhang Tianyuan's eyes were not idle, because the things in it were so attractive, there was nothing modern about the furnishings here, from the tables and chairs to the decorations, all of them were a mix of European style and classical style outside Europe, and they were matched so well, there was no sense of disharmony, which made people look very comfortable.
I have to admire that the designer of this interior has really put in a lot of effort.
"It's extravagant, is this the office of the director of the British Museum, old man, I'm coming in for the first time......
The old man next to him said something, but his voice was very small, probably only Zhang Tianyuan could hear it. But he was right to say this, and it was really not false to say that it was extravagant. Judging by Zhang Tianyuan's character appreciation, the chairs and tables placed here are not made of modern orders at all, but have a history of at least decades, or even hundreds of years, in addition, the walls are also hung with famous paintings in the Renaissance period and the modern period, and they are all true, even the stalls on the feet are also precious blankets of ancient Persia, and the porcelain that is more than one meter high in the corner of the wall is known to be Chinese porcelain at a glance.
Many Chinese like to use porcelain to decorate the house, but it is all modern crafts, but the one placed here is the official kiln porcelain of the Qing Dynasty.
Even the ceiling of this house is actually made of the Renaissance relief carving method, which is simply a small showroom, and it is estimated that the things in this room are worth hundreds of millions of pounds, even if they are big tyrants, I am afraid that they can't afford to live in such a house.
If it weren't for a little bit of sanity, Zhang Tianyuan really planned to sneak into the place when the moon was dark and the wind was high, and stole all these things, he really envied those flying thieves in the movie now.
It's a pity that he's not.
"yes, that's extravagant." Zhang Tianyuan replied and couldn't help asking, "The old gentleman is here to travel to the UK?" ”
"Sort of, alas, there's nothing to do after retirement, just go around, just go around." The old man sighed, there was a helplessness in his eyes, and then he looked at Zhang Tianyuan and said, "By the way, young man, I haven't asked you yet, what kind of identity are you, and you can let this stingy Englishman take you into his office?" ”
"What kind of identity can I have, in fact, I have a few famous paintings of Picasso in my hand, and I want to exchange them with the British Museum, of course, the object of exchange is the Chinese collection in the British Museum. What is the old gentleman called? ”
"What! You! You! That's great! That's great! It's rare to see a sensible young man like you, alas, I don't have the ability to do it, although it's a little money, but I can't even buy a piece of Chinese cultural relics, young man, you have Picasso's oil paintings, and you are willing to exchange our country's cultural relics, so that the old man I really feel emotional. By the way, my surname is Wang, old man, you can call it whatever you want. ”
"Elder Wang, my surname is Zhang."
"Xiao Zhang, take the liberty of asking, do you plan to give away things to the country in the future? Or do you want to collect it yourself? Elder Wang asked.
"I plan to build a private museum by myself, which can be open to insiders for free, and I want people who really know and understand Chinese cultural relics to study, visit, or even research, do you think it's okay?" Zhang Tianyuan asked.
"Good, good, very good, the young man has this ambition is good. Old man, I still have a little bit of power in China, if there is any problem with applying for a private museum, you can come to me, this is my phone number. The old man took out a business card, but it was very personal, with only the name and mobile phone number on it, and nothing else.
But even so, Zhang Tianyuan carefully put away his business card and put it in his personal wallet.
"Thank you, old man." He didn't know what the identity of Wang Lao was, but it could be seen from the old man's speech and demeanor that he was also a big man before, and it shouldn't be in politics, otherwise there would not be such a big Confucian atmosphere.
"Please use it slowly, these are coffee brewed from top coffee beans, and the taste is very fragrant." Amer. Sloan and his beautiful secretary brought coffee to a few people, and then sat down as well.
"Sir Amell, what about the catalogue we talked about earlier? Can you take it out and let me see it first? ”
Zhang Tianyuan was very excited at this time, but his expression of affection outside also seemed very calm, and he asked while putting some sugar in the coffee while stirring it with a spoon.
This kind of directly brewed coffee is a bit too bitter, and Zhang Tianyuan is not used to drinking it, so he has to add sugar. (To be continued......)
