Chapter 150: Republic of China F4
Wu Tianyuan followed Cao Fatzi to the presidential suite of the hotel, although Yamanaka Hongming owed a huge amount of gambling debts, but after all, he was a child of a big family with a background, and he couldn't be lazy.
"Fatty, are you here to collect debts again? I'm not saying that there are buyers who can exchange money right away! ”
A little white face with oily hair and pink face shouted in fluent Chinese at the follow-up door, and patted the blonde beauties next to her with a squint and asked them to leave.
"Young Master Yamanaka, this time I am not here to collect debts, but to introduce you to a big customer, this is Boss Wu, there are auctions and museums in hand, billionaires, you have a good talk."
Cao Fatzi gave Wu Tianyuan a look and turned to leave. Yamanaka looked at Wu Tianyuan, who was also in his twenties, curiously, and said with a smile: "You are the Wu Tianyuan who spent 700 million to buy the collection of the Liuchuan family?" ”
"Yes, that's me!"
Wu Tianyuan sat down, poured himself a glass of wine, and said disdainfully: "You are the famous loser of the mountain family?" ”
Yamanaka smiled, and did not get angry, but poured himself a glass of wine, invited him in the air, and took a sip and said: "Yamanaka Hongming, please advise!" ”
Wu Tianyuan's heart sank, it seems that the so-called ruined city is very deep, not necessarily as simple as it seems, interesting!
"You owe eight million dollars, not a small amount, I heard that there is an old collection of Prince Gong's mansion, let's talk about it?"
Shan Zhong clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I just like to be happy, twelve pieces of rosewood court furniture, all of them are family secrets, and they will be taken away by 10 million dollars!" ”
Wu Tianyuan took the photo, looked at it, and nodded, twelve pieces of imperial rosewood furniture, more than 60 million, yes!
"I heard that you are in a bad situation now, and the two brothers are waiting for your father to die and compete for the position of the family?"
Hiroaki Yamanaka got up for the first time, looked at Wu Tianyuan and said, "What do you want to say?" ”
"Nothing, curious to ask!"
Wu Tianyuan smiled: "I don't think you are so simple on the surface!" I just want to make a friend, I guess you know a little bit about it, they are all people in the industry, maybe there is a chance to cooperate, right? ”
"Cooperation?" Yamanaka smiled bitterly and picked up a glass of wine and drank it all and said, "As soon as the old man dies, I will be the first to be kicked out of the family, what cooperation will I take?" ”
"Not necessarily!" Wu Tianyuan straightened up, stared at the mountain with burning eyes, and said word by word: "Have you heard of King Wu Goujian, lying on the salary and tasting the gall?" ”
A strange light flashed in Yamanaka's eyes, and he laughed and said, "I don't understand what you mean!" ”
"Whatever you want, it's too early to say anything. But I advise you, keep your identity, maybe it will be your biggest hole card in the future! ”
Hiroaki Yamanaka was silent for a while, then stood up and walked in front of Wu Tianyuan, stretched out his hand and said, "I owe you a favor this time, if you really have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, there will be a big reward!" ”
The next thing is also simple, Wu Tianyuan bought 12 pieces of furniture from the old collection of the mountain family Gong Wangfu for 10 million US dollars, and all of them were transported back to the museum.
"What are you going to do, kid? Heard Lao Ren say that he wanted to arrange a study? ”
Hu Jianmin looked at the drawings curiously, and sighed: "The red sandalwood dragon pattern throne, a tattooed couch, a cloud dragon pattern large painting case, two pairs of five-screen comb-backed rattan chairs, and a large cabinet of Li Dragon Pattern Hundred Treasure Pavilion......"
Wu Tianyuan smiled: "Don't you think that these pieces of furniture can just make a study?" Qianlongye's most famous Sanxi Hall is also this configuration. ”
"What? You want to decorate Sanxitang! ”
Hu Jianmin was shocked, what kind of place is Sanxi Hall, Qianlong Ye reads and reviews the folds every day, and he is famous for preserving the authentic treasures of the three kings. It is now the most important exhibition hall of the Forbidden City, the top match of the emperor.
"What's not to do, now there is a complete set of palace furniture, porcelain also has three blue and white three-color porcelain, calligraphy, jade seals, scholars, tea sets, and even dragon robes and treasure knives!"
Hu Jianmin's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands excitedly, and shouted: "That's right! Now the existing treasures in the museum can definitely be arranged into an imperial study, and it is an authentic copy of Qianlong! ”
"Now it's just three Xi Bao Ti, the true works of the three kings are too precious, each one is a national treasure, but it's man-made, maybe you can meet it next time, right?"
Hu Jianmin has absolute confidence in Wu Tianyuan, sooner or later the Tianyuan Museum will also have its own Sanxi Hall, after the two people discussed, they took out two exhibition halls, one for the Sanxi Hall Emperor Study, and the other for the Old Summer Palace Exhibition Hall. In this way, visitors can directly feel the atmosphere at that time, which is more shocking.
Wu Tianyuan rested for a day, dealt with Zhongzheng's affairs, and then followed the clues to Tianjin to find the treasure of Yuan Kewen, one of the four sons of the Republic of China.
Yuan Kewen, known as Hanyun, a native of Xiangcheng, Henan, a famous Kunqu opera artist, and one of the four sons of the Republic of China. Known as the leader of the Tianjin Youth Gang during the Republic of China, the second son of Yuan Shikai, the president of the Republic of China
It is known as "Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng in the south, and Yuan Hanyun, the leader of the Jinbei gang in the north". He is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, proficient in calligraphy and painting, likes poetry and songs, and likes to collect calligraphy and paintings, antiques, etc. Later, because of his opposition to Yuan Shikai's proclamation as emperor, he lived a dissolute life, with a group of wives and concubines, angered his father, and fled to Tianjin.
"Yuan Kewen can be described as a real playboy character, eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling, and sampling. also spent money to join the Green Gang and became an "old man" of the "big characters". In addition to Yuan's wife Liu Meizhen, he also married 5 aunts, and there are even more mistresses who have no name or a spring breeze, according to insiders, there are seventy or eighty. ”
After Wu Tianyuan studied his information, he admired it very much, seeing that this son of the Republic of China was better than the last emperor of the nest!
This time, the destination is the former site of the Green Gang, and now I heard that it has become a teahouse club, Wu Tianyuan is here to see if there are any clues.
He walked into the teahouse, the decoration was average, it was an ordinary teahouse, turned a few rooms, came to the most advanced private room, ordered Longjing, and drank it alone.
"Boss, do you sell this teahouse!"
Wu Tianyuan asked the waiter to find the boss and get straight to the point, wanting to buy the teahouse.
After several bargains, fifteen million bought this small teahouse, and after everyone left, Wu Tianyuan came to the basement, found workers to break the foundation, and then began to dig treasures himself.
"Yuan Kewen buried the most precious collection in the ground during the war, since the old site has not been demolished, it should still be there, dig!"
After Wu Tianyuan finished communicating with the old furniture left in the private room, he bought the teahouse, and saw if the treasure was still there?
Yuan Kewen loves to collect books and antiques, is good at connoisseurship, can write and paint, and often buys ancient books, gold and stones, calligraphy and paintings, coins, stamps, etc. with huge sums of money.
Relying on his father's relationship, within a few years, he successively obtained hundreds of Song Yuanming books such as Lu Wenyi, Mo Youzhi, Xu Fang, Wu Changshou, Yang Shoujing, and Deng Bangshu.
Yuan Kewen is arrogant by nature, and when he sees the Song and Yuan Dynasty engravings, he will try to buy them. Most of the books in the collection of the Qing court are in the collection of the Qing court, and they are particularly fond of the collection of 8 kinds of Song towel box books such as "Zhou Yi", "Shangshu", "Analects", "Mencius", etc., and open the "Eight Classics Room" to store them.
And in 1926, he commissioned Tao Xiang to photocopy the world, and purchased dozens of fine products from Sheng Yu's family collection, such as the 70 volumes of the engraved book "Rites and Justice" during the Shaoxi period of the Southern Song Dynasty, the historian called "the first solitary book in China", the engraving was extremely exquisite, and each volume had Ji Zhenyi's Tibetan seal, and later these treasures were missing.
"Sure enough, it's here! This is the legendary 70 volumes of the Book of Rites and Justice! ”
Wu Tianyuan finally found the treasure chest, and really found a unique ancient book that was missing, and there were many calligraphy tablets at the bottom of the box.
"Is this the king's offering? There is also Wang Xizhi's seal book monument! ”
