Chapter 318: Donald's Gift
Ding Hongxing pondered for a long time this time before saying, "Dear Mr. Van Tengberg, I know your kindness very well. However, I still have a lot of important things to do in China, such as I still have to take the college entrance examination and go to a prestigious university, which is my parents' long-cherished wish...... I can assure you that I will not waste my talent, and maybe in a few years you will be able to see me on the European stage! ”
Van Tengberg became excited again: "You want to go to college, it's easy!" Our club can help you connect with the best universities in the Netherlands, how about the University of Amsterdam? You can practice a day training system and play football at the same time as you go to school, which is also much better than if you stayed in China. ”
Ding Hongxing smiled and shook his head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Van Tengberg, please forgive me for not being able to agree to your invitation!" ”
Van Tenberg hasn't given up yet: "Do you want to go to a big club? Let me tell you, even if you want to go to a big club, it's best not to go directly, you can land on a smaller club first, show your ability, and then it's not too late to go to a big club. I think that our Ajax club is the best choice, although Ajax is not a European giant, but it also has a long history and brilliant record, and there are enough exposure opportunities in the European arena, so that you can show your ability to the fullest, in this way, you can go to the giant club to be reused, if you go directly to the giants, it is difficult to be reused, I have seen too many such examples. ”
Van Tengberg's words were very sincere and sincere, but Ding Hongxing had already made up his mind, he just smiled and shook his head, saying sorry.
From Ding Hongxing's face, Van Tengberg can see that although he is young, he is already a very assertive person, he knows that it is useless to say more, and if he continues to talk about it, it will only cause the other party's disgust, which will be counterproductive, so he shook his head, shrugged his shoulders and said: "I don't understand too well why you refuse my sincere invitation, but I still respect your choice, but I will not give up, the door of Ajax will always be open for you, if you change your mind, please feel free to inform me!" ”
As he spoke, Van Tengberg stood up and handed Ding Hongxing a business card, Ding Hongxing took it with both hands politely, and after carefully reading the business card, he put it in his jacket pocket and said, "Thank you!" Mr. Vantenberg, I wish you a happy life and a smooth work in China! ”
After leaving the hotel, Yang Tianxiong, who had been holding back without speaking, couldn't wait to ask, "Red Star, why did you refuse him?" Ah, Ajax! The Three Musketeers of the Netherlands were all trained by them! ”
Ding Hongxing smiled and said to him, "Brother Yang, don't you still believe me?" I said I would show up in Europe, and I would do it, but not now! ”
Yang Tianxiong shook his head and said, "Although I don't know why you rejected him, but a genius like you, there must be a reason for you to make such a decision!" ”
Song Shihong smiled and said: "Tianxiong, don't worry about Red Star, no matter what Red Star does in the future, he must be the top one!" ”
Yang Tianxiong nodded: "Okay, then let's go to Donald now and get the bowl back." ”
The three of them went to Tang's hometown together, and on the way, Ding Hongxing naturally did not forget to buy some time-honored pastries in Beijing, these pastries are also the favorite of Donald who grew up in Beijing, although they are not expensive, but with these pastries, Tang Lao will be very happy.
When he arrived at Tang's house, he was already waiting for Ding Hongxing and them in his room, Ding Hongxing put down the pastries wrapped in oiled paper, and Tang Lao was really happy.
He sat the three of them down, and then went to a cabinet and took out three boxes, two of which were larger and one of which was smaller.
Donald opened the first box, which was the black bowl, and he said to Ding Hongxing: "Take a closer look." ”
Ding Hongxing knew what Donald meant, although he trusted Donald very much, he still carefully looked at the bowl inside and out according to the rules, and then nodded and said, "Donald, no problem." ”
Tang Lao opened the second box again, and inside it was a flat purple clay pot, which was very exquisitely made, and the body of the pot was a landscape painting.
In the end, Donald opened the third box, and inside was a pair of jade bracelets, which were made of ice glutinous seeds, and of course, they were also considered high-quality in the ice glutinous seeds.
Ding Hongxing looked at these two things, looked at Donald puzzled, and Donald smiled and said: "You will go back tomorrow, these two things are brought back to you, which can be regarded as a gift to your parents." ”
Ding Hongxing was shocked: "Donald, how can this be done?" It's too precious! ”
This purple clay pot and this pair of jade bracelets, although they are not the top kind, but they seem to be worth a lot of money.
Tang Lao said: "What's wrong with this? This purple clay pot was given to me by an old friend of mine, and I still have a few, which is not a good pair of bracelet materials, I hope you don't dislike it. That day, you didn't even blink this black set to give it to me, and then you gave me the knife of the Liao Dynasty, you are so generous, I naturally can't be too stingy, besides, you came all the way to the capital, if you don't even bring some gifts to your parents, it will be too unseemly, so this gift is a courtesy, and you don't have to take it too seriously. ”
Donald said so, Ding Hongxing couldn't be too hypocritical, he nodded and thanked Donald, and wrapped the three boxes with a piece of red cloth.
The three of them said goodbye to Donald and left Tang's hometown, and Donald kept standing at the door and sent them to the car.
got into the car, Song Shihong said: "Good girl, today Tang Lao is too generous, this pair of bracelets is fine, this purple clay pot is amazing, it is the work of Master Gu, although Master Gu is still alive, but as long as it is his work, the price has exceeded the works of many masters of the Ming and Qing dynasties." ”
Song Shihong told a few more stories of Master Gu, before the liberation of Master Gu, when he was still an apprentice, he imitated the work of a master in the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty master's paragraph fell on it, and it was regarded as a genuine collection by a large museum, until after the liberation, when Master Gu was invited by this museum to sort out their purple clay pot collection, he found out that these purple clay pots were imitations of his youth, and he said that the museum did not believe that this was an imitation, until Master Gu pointed out the secret mark he left in the pot to them, That's when they realized they were looking away.
Master Gu's skills and character can also be seen, his pot is well done, but he never fakes, even if it is an imitation made by himself, he has to leave a secret mark to make people distinguish.
In fact, the value of his imitation is no less than the real thing.
