Guo Ziqiang helped Long Yi pick up his luggage from the hotel, and even if the whole work was completed, Guo Ziqiang refused to accept anything when Long Yi paid Guo Ziqiang......

Ryuichi: "Ah Qiang...... To be honest, it's not a short time to delay you, you just accept it, we are still friends, you have helped me too much, thank you! If you have to find me in China in the future, I will have to cook a few good dishes for you and have a good drink......"

As soon as Long returned to Tony's house, the fireplace was blazing, and the family was quietly listening to the old man Long Chunfeng tell a long and tortuous story......

Long Chunfeng: "Seventy-one years! The grandparents returned to Amsterdam with Long Changhai, who was not yet 20 years old, and had already accumulated a large fortune through the jewelry business when he was young, but unfortunately he had to leave his hometown again...... As for what happened...... I don't know, anyway, grandpa vowed never to go back to China......"

Long nodded and said: "Then count it, Long Changhai has an elder brother named Long Changshan in China, and there is no way to know why he didn't come to Amsterdam with them." ”

Long Chunfeng nodded, looking out the window: "Grandpa never said anything about the past, and later I heard my father say that after my father's family came to Amsterdam, because of no money and no status, my grandfather formed the largest Chinese gang at that time, and it reached the scale of hundreds of people in a few years...... Fishing for the wrong door...... What to make money and what to do...... In his later years, he established the Dragon Diamond Factory......"

Long Yi asked, "Then grandpa, is the Dragon factory still there now?" ”

Long Chunfeng: "In the eighties and nineties, the business was good, and my father gradually turned his energy to the factory business, but my father gave me the factory when he was almost 60 years old...... Probably 09 years...... And I don't have the skills to do business...... The financial turmoil was held, and Uncle Jin was just born that year...... My father passed away a few years later, and in the end, he didn't survive...... The company was acquired, and your uncle shouldn't be able to remember it at that time. ”

Long Jincai nodded: "I don't know anything, my father was a jewelry designer when I remember, and of course, I also inherited my father's business and was also a jewelry designer." ”

Long Chunfeng: "I was born and raised in the Netherlands, my father taught us to speak Chinese since we were young, and the whole family can speak Chinese and have a Chinese complex...... Now that I'm over 70 years old, I really want to see China where my grandparents and father lived......"

The dragon nodded: "Grandpa...... OK...... We're going to get a visa tomorrow, it's time to go back and have a look...... We can immigrate to China if you wish. ”

Long Chunfeng shook his head and said: "There is no need to immigrate, your grandmother Fannie is here, I want to stay with her, if everyone likes China, they will immigrate back to China!" ”

Long Yi glanced at the old man, admired it very much in his heart, and still remembered a person who had passed away for many years.

Long Chunfeng: "Tony...... Go to my room and bring the wooden box in the drawer, I've got something for you. ”

Waiting for Tony to take the wooden box, Long Chunfeng opened the wooden box, which contained three small boxes, and Long Chunfeng put the three small boxes on the table.

Long Chunfeng: "There are three rings here, and what I am holding now is a black jade wrench, which is engraved with a dragon, which is a token of my grandfather's gang back then, and I will give it to you today...... If it weren't for you, our family would never have seen each other again. ”

Long Yi took the wrench and wiped it back and forth with his sleeve, the material was exquisite, its pitch black as ink, the color was heavy and greasy, the texture was fine, smooth and elegant, and a dragon hovered on the wrench finger vividly......

Jenny: "Brother! Let me see...... I haven't seen it yet! Jenny took Ryuichi's wrench and played with it carefully......

Long Chunfeng: "This imperial green ring is a treasure of my grandfather before his death, even in the most difficult time, I don't dare to sell it...... I'll hand it over to Jincai today...... It's also a thought. ”

Long Jincai was also a little surprised when he took the ring, and the shank gently grabbed the emerald center stone in the form of four claws, and the surrounding diamond design was dazzling, and the market price of such a valuable thing had already exceeded 100 million.

Long Chunfeng finally opened the small box and said: "This 50-carat pink diamond ring will be handed over to Zora, it was left by your grandmother, and Fannie was reluctant to bring ...... before"

Zora took the ring with a look of disbelief, because she also knew that it was worth a lot of money, and there was no way to estimate it, and it was not impossible to meet a particularly wide buyer who could reach a billion.

Everyone present was shocked by the three rings, but Long Chunfeng was as relaxed as if he had completed some major task......

The next day, after submitting the visa information, Jenny and Tony clamored to take Long Yi to visit Amsterdam, Jenny mentioned a few places, Long Yi said he didn't want to go, Tony solemnly introduced to go to the Van Gogh Museum, Long Yi thought that it was rare for the brother and sister to be highly motivated, so he nodded in agreement.

Not far from the museum, what Long Yi saw was a building that seemed to be made of three building blocks, the whole was square, except for the glass windows, the walls were mostly gray, and on the opposite side was a nearly semicircular building, also gray tones, standing on the withered yellow grass, next to a few trees that were also lifeless without a single leaf......

Ryuichi: "I like buildings like this...... Steady! ”

Tony: "The semi-circular shape of the new pavilion was designed by the Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa, and the main pavilion opposite the old pavilion was designed by the famous designer Litwid, who is both an architect and a furniture designer......

The dragon nodded: "Jenny, your brother knows a lot!" ”

Jenny sniffed and said, "That's it!" I also studied architecture anyway, so I still know a little bit about it. ”

Ryuichi: "What about you?" Interested in what? ”

Jenny: "I'm a costume student, I'm interested in everything, so let me introduce you to Van Gogh's works in a moment......"

While the three of them were looking at the works, Jenny explained to Long Yi, and they knew a lot.

Jenny: "Dutch post-impressionist painter, born in 1853, committed suicide in 1890, and only worked in gray and dark colors in the early days, until he met the Impressionists and Neo-Impressionists in Paris, blended their bright colors and painting styles, and created his unique personal painting style......

Jenny's lectures on "Starry Nights," "New Sunflowers," and "Little Crow's Wheat Field" seem to be showing off an extraordinary genius, and the admiration is beyond words.

Ryuichi: "Jenny...... Didn't you just say that Van Gogh's life was undoubtedly a failure, that he was not good at business, that he was poor, that he had only sold one work in ten years, "The Red Vineyard"? ”

Jenny nodded: "Yes! ”

Ryuichi asked Tony again, "Tony, what do you think?" ”

Tony: "I don't know how to paint...... However, Van Gogh's works are undoubtedly rare works in existence, and a random one sells for hundreds of millions? ”

The dragon nodded: "What I want to say is...... Why do you sell a painting in your lifetime? Could it be that people at that time did not understand his art, but people now do? ”

Jenny: "What's wrong with Van Gogh using these colors that represent the sunshine to express the boiling passion and desire in his heart, so that people will always be moved by the passion of his life?" ”

Long Yi smiled: "In my opinion...... Van Gogh's works are a successful commercial operation, and this museum has hundreds of the most precious paintings from Van Gogh's golden period, but after reading it, I still think that Van Gogh's artistry is overrated. ”

Tony and Jenny were shocked, Jenny opened her eyes wide and asked, "Why?" ”

Ryuichi: "Think about it, if a person who is not recognized at all is so expensive after his death, what elements such as ear cutting, suicide, and mental illness have hype value? Later, when the state funded the construction of the art museum, what role did Theo and his wife Joanna play? ”

Tony: "What's the character?" ”

Ryuichi: "Of course, it's a business operation...... After Van Gogh's death, some people began to say that it was good, and gradually more people said that it was good, and the painting began to be expensive, and the final value was so high that it was impossible to estimate, but I still think it was caused by hype, and the brand value was magnified...... It is not the author's own love of life, and his feelings and understanding of life that have made today's high price ......"

Jenny asks, "People who love what they do work for their own goals. Van Gogh's greatest wish in life was that everyone could like his paintings, and I think now he can be happy because everyone likes them! ”

Long Yi shook his head: "Van Gogh's paintings are expensive in brand influence...... I bet...... Even if the Xia Bing painted by Long Jiping is put in this museum, it is still worth more than 100 million...... Do you believe it or not? ”

Both Tony and Jenny nodded in agreement, but still did not admit that Van Gogh was overrated.

The three of them boarded a small cruise ship and began to experience the style of the water city, starting from the central railway station and passing through Anne? Frank's House, Rijksmuseum, Leidseplein, etc., and finally back to the main station, finally found a coffee house and walked in......

The coffee house is a little hidden and easy to miss. The café is full of locals, young and old. The siblings found an upper seat near the fireplace to rest, while Tony was busy chatting with the witty bartender......

During the cold months, the café is the perfect place to escape the cold and socialize with friends and family, and in Jenny's words, the Dutch have so much time.

Jenny smiled and said, "Brother! Sister-in-law is pretty, right? ”

Long Yi turned his head and looked at Jenny strangely and asked, "Didn't you watch it on video?" What do you think? ”

Jenny: "I'm asking you! Of course I've seen ......."

Long Yi said with satisfaction: "Of course it's beautiful! By the way, what do you think of me? Is it handsome? ”

The corners of Jenny's mouth rose, her eyes stared at the dragon and then she said, "Handsome! ”

The dragon nodded and said, "Hey! There is no way...... Who made me so handsome! But Jenny is pretty too! There should be a lot of boys chasing after it, right? ”

Jenny: "Needless to say?" But it's my brother who has been changing girlfriends since I can remember...... Ay! That's right...... When I get to China, you must take me for a good walk, I don't know where to go. ”

Long Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry! Be sure to take you around for a walk, and I think your sister-in-law will like you too. ”

Jenny nodded earnestly and casually looked up in Tony's direction, who was chatting with a Chinese girl, smiling brightly......
