Chapter 164: Tatsuhiko Yamanaka

Wu Tianyuan didn't ask for their money in the end, and he still had more than 700 million funds in his hand, and he would talk about it when he met other lots in the future.

For example, the last time the Liuchuan family packed 700 million, if it wasn't for the treasure map later, I really couldn't get it back. So if you really meet the treasures of top collectors, you can't do it without a billion!

Wu Tianyuan came forward to grab it back first, and then distributed it internally according to his preferences, which is a good idea. The real best will stay in the museum, let the best be selected by Tianyuan first, and the rest will be auctioned at the end. Things are also convenient in the hands of a few local tyrants, and a special exhibition can be organized regularly, and the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders.

Minqiu Jingshe and Qing Wan Yaji are such rules, if a member wants to make a move, he must first notify others, and make sure that he does not entrust the auction house to auction in the future, and the maximum process is to ensure the integrity of the collection.

Collection is the most important fate, sometimes you collect 99 percent, and you will never meet the last one in your life! But when others are just starting to collect, the first collection is the ultimate goal of your dreams, which is amazing.

Especially the complete set of treasures, which are rare in a hundred years, such as the twelve flower god cups, the twelve bronze heads, etc., once separated, it is difficult to reunite.

Wu Tianyuan came to Hong Kong the next day, and it was really convenient to have the identity of the dragon group, and he went directly to the special channel, which was unimpeded.

"Brother Zhai, I'm going to trouble you to come with me this time!"

Zhai Jianmin said with a smile: "Jia Shide didn't invite me to participate this time, it seems that you are really fragrant now, brother, it is an honor to follow you to open your eyes." ”

Zhai Jianmin is worthy of being an old Jianghu, Wu Tianyuan is very comfortable in a few words, no wonder people earn commissions so softly. Time was tight, they didn't visit a few old men, and went directly to the preview in the evening.

Elgin was an independent kingdom of Scotland in the mid-17th century. In June 1633, the kingdom established the noble title of "Earl of Elgin" and awarded it to the illustrious Bruce family.

After the annexation of Scotland to England in 1654, the title was retained. For more than 370 years, the Bruce family has inherited this title of 11 people, among whom the most well-known one is Thomas, the seventh-generation descendant of the plundering of the Parthenon in Greece? Bruce, the second is the eighth generation of James, who burned the Old Summer Palace in China? Bruce.

As soon as Thomas arrived in Istanbul, the capital of the empire, he began his activities, and finally bribed the newly appointed chief minister of the empire to obtain a charter to "approach" the temple. He hired more than 300 craftsmen and dismantled nearly 60 percent of the temple's sculptures within a year. In 1803, he ordered his subordinates to pack 200 boxes full of these stone carvings and ship them to London on British royal ships.

When he returned to London three years later, he was greeted by a series of blows. First, he lost his nose and his cheek was damaged by a plague in Istanbul. This not only prompted his young wife to abandon him, but also ruined his diplomatic career and his seat in the House of Lords, which was retribution.

James, an English earl, captured Canton with Anglo-French forces. In the spring of the following year, he went north to Tianjin. In May, the Dagu Fort was captured. In June, the Qing government was forced to sign the Sino-British Treaty of Tianjin. He returned to China in 1859. Soon after, he was appointed as the British plenipotentiary to China, and led the Anglo-French forces to China with Gro. In August of the following year, it captured the Dagu Fort and captured Tianjin. In October, he entered Beijing and burned down the Old Summer Palace.

On October 13, he attacked the city of Beijing. James knew that the Old Summer Palace was a rare royal garden in the world, so he rode a horse to inspect it before entering the city of Beijing, and in addition to enjoying it, he agreed with the leaders of the French army to distribute the treasures in the garden. From 7 October, the British and French forces rushed to plunder. Within a few days, the gold, silver, porcelain, embroidery, calligraphy and painting in the park were looted.

On October 18, 1860, this bastard categorically ordered the burning of the Old Summer Palace under the pretext that the Qing army was abusing British prisoners of war. The fire burned for three days, and the entire process of this order was carried out by Gordon.

So he was the culprit of the disappearance of the Old Summer Palace, but in the end he was also buried in the fire and did not die well.

This time, Jiashide didn't know where to collect this batch of collections, and the reason why he didn't dare to auction them with great fanfare was because of sensitivity, so he sneaked it up.

"This is the Qianlong Imperial Golden Chime, a set of sixteen, you have eight in your hand, this time there are six on the auction, and two are in Fontainebleau."

Zhai Jianmin accompanied Wu Tianyuan to participate in the preview, and it was stipulated that only two people could participate, and even Wang Jun could only wait outside.

"This time I am determined to win, and once I miss it, I guess there will be no more chances."

Zhai Jianmin nodded and said: "The people who can be invited today are all real international tyrants, and the collection will not flow out again unless it is posthumous, especially the Japanese, the eldest son of the Yamanaka family, and the biggest favorite candidate for the next family, Yamanaka Tatsuhiko!" ”

Wu Tianyuan looked at Yamanaka Tatsuhiko in his early thirties from a distance, he was indeed much calmer and more atmospheric than Yamanaka Hongming, but he couldn't hide that sense of superiority, as if he was superior.

"The other four European experts are also big connoisseurs, and they also have a certain interest in the Old Summer Palace, but the biggest opponent should still be the Yamanaka family."

Zhai Jianmin said in a low voice: "I received the news that this time a big family in Japan entrusted Tatsuhiko Yamanaka to come forward to bid, and after the matter was completed, they supported him to take the position." So he is bound to win this time, let's be careful. ”

Wu Tianyuan nodded, and suddenly remembered the cynical face of Hongming Yamanaka, who was born in a big family and was quite pitiful, intriguing all day long, and even his relatives had to cheat on me, which was really disturbing.

"Young master, it's Wu Tianyuan over there, a very famous person from China recently!"

Yamanaka Tatsuhiko also noticed Wu Tianyuan in the distance, looked at it a few times, and said disdainfully: "But so, lucky boy, let me teach him a lesson for the incompetent National Art Museum in a while!" ”

"Brother Zhai, this is the legendary handsome guy Wu Tianyuan?"

Just when the two of them finished looking at all the collections, suddenly a coquettish voice came, and when they looked back, they saw a big beautiful woman walking around.

"Miss Asami, you're here too?"

Zhai Jianmin was taken aback, and introduced Wu Tianyuan in a low voice: "Japanese-British mixed-race, Asami, public relations director of Jiashide, nicknamed Sao Fox!" ”

Wu Tianyuan was stunned for a moment, looked at the beautiful woman with a charming smile, stared straight at him with a pair of seductive peach blossom eyes, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "I am Wu Tianyuan, please give me more advice from Miss Asami." ”

"It's better to be famous than to meet, the famous director of the Tianyuan Museum is such a young talent! Please take care of it in the future. ”

Asami stretched out Bai Shengsheng's little hand and gently held Wu Tianyuan, and her little thumb hooked Wu Tianyuan's palm, secretly teasing.

"How is it arranged today? Just six customers still have to be auctioned one by one? ”

Asami smiled: "It is definitely impossible to waste the time of distinguished customers, today is divided into two games, the first half is the Qianlong imperial six gold bells, the highlight." In the second half, there are the remaining 29 pieces of porcelain and jade, all of which were collected from Ergin's descendants and inherited in an orderly collection. ”

Wu Tianyuan's heart was tired for a while, robbers are also called orderly inheritance? But the arrangement is quite simple, anyway, there are not many people, so hurry up and leave after shooting.

"This is my personal number, Boss Wu has something to contact me, remember, any time, anything is fine!"

Asami gently stuffed Wu Tianyuan with a business card, and turned around to leave with a smile. Zhai Jianmin smiled and patted Wu Tianyuan's shoulder, with an expression that all men understand.

Wu Tianyuan shook his head, he had no other thoughts, and looked at the collection again. In addition to the six gold bells, the remaining porcelain is also a masterpiece of the imperial court.

"Qianlong's eighty-year-old birthday imperial cloud dragon pattern embroidered longevity word vertical scroll!"

"Yongzheng Pastel Flower Butterfly Bowl!"

"A pair of Qianlong blue and white carmine elephant ear square pots!"

"Yongle cloisonnΓ© enamel entwined lotus ear furnace!"

"Qianlong green pastel flower gourd bottle!"

"It's rare to see Kangxi red pomegranate in the glaze!"
