In the evening, Wu Tianyuan and Liu Meizi arrived as promised, although Jiazi must go to Sanlitun Bar to see it, but it still didn't work.

"Hey, where will I have a next time!"

Wu Tianyuan looked at the poor little girl, it seems that the royal family is not easy to be, she is controlled by all kinds of rules and regulations all day long, and even one expression is infinitely magnified by others, and she is really tired of living.

"So, I'll contact Andrew now, and you can talk to him?"

"Hurry!"

Wu Tianyuan called Andrew with a smile and briefly talked about the situation, and Jiazi excitedly introduced herself and said that she was going to study at the International Christian University soon. Andrew was very face-saving, saying that he would baptize Kako in person, and promised to be her mentor.

"Haha, thank you Tianyuan-kun, the cardinal archbishop is my mentor, it's so cool!"

Jiazi jumped around excitedly, holding Wu Tianyuan and chattering, once again making him feel the power of religion.

"Thanks to Yasuda-kun's help this time, there will be two Ni Zhan's landscapes in a few days, and Yasuda-kun will have to worry about it when the time comes."

Yasuda said excitedly: "You are so polite, we are good friends, this is not enough to worry about, or Tianyuanjun has the strength to make those old antiques in Zhengcangyuan bow their heads!" ”

The two laughed, and Yasuda lamented the benefits of the strong collaborator, last time he had a relationship with the state, plus he was familiar with the Chinese, so he was invited to participate in the negotiations. And this time, it was the dignified Zhengcangyuan who took the initiative to invite him, knowing that he had a relationship with Wu Tianyuan, hoping to get his help.

All of a sudden, his status in the circle was raised to a new level, plus several private transactions, the last time three treasures of the Yuan Dynasty, he used Miyagi to make a big head, and he finally secretly hid the map of Huanggong Wangxi Mountain, and gave two of them to Miyagi. In this way, the other party was grateful to Dade and fell into a big favor.

"I said a long time ago that Yasuda-kun is my favorite friend, how good is this, everyone earns money, why not?"

"Tianyuanjun rest assured, in the future, I Yasuda will be your most loyal ally, there is a saying in China, it is called blessed and enjoy hardships together!"

The two chatted while drinking tea, and Wu Tianyuan said secretly: "That's a blessing for me to enjoy, and you should be right if there is a difficulty!" ”

Now a few old men are studying how to imitate Song and Yuan Dynasty calligraphy and painting all day long, and the progress is very fast, and at least two fine works can be produced in a month, both of which are top names and national treasures.

However, you can't be in a hurry to trade with Yasuda, at most one in two months, Wu Tianyuan still has a big road of polar bears, and those who can trade on the black market are not serious people, so they can be deceived with peace of mind.

"What? American Ellsworth wants to shoot Ming-style furniture! ”

Sun Yuyao said with a smile: "Don't get excited, I also deserve the news that Su Fubi has collected the last batch of treasures from An Siyuan, thirty pieces of Ming-style furniture, all of which are high-quality products, and the preview will be auctioned in three days, and it will be too late." ”

Wu Tianyuan didn't say a word, let Wang Hong arrange the itinerary, and set off tomorrow, An Siyuan's old collection, dream!

Ellsworth, a well-known antique dealer and collector in New York, the former chief representative of Sotheby's Institute of Education in China, started from collecting Chinese stamps, gradually progressed to collecting snuff bottles, opened Ellsworth Gaode Gallery in 1960 to operate the antique business, and gradually became the most authoritative international Asian art and antique dealer, known as the "godfather of Chinese antiques".

Ellsworth's collection of Chinese art is best known for its inscriptions and Ming and Qing dynasty furniture collections, known as the "King of the Ming Dynasty" for its accomplished Ming-style furniture collections. What makes Ellsworth related to China is also the history of the sixth, seventh, eighth and fourth volumes of the Northern Song Dynasty Tuo's Chunhua Pavilion Post.

In September 1996, Ellsworth brought the four volumes of Chunhua Pavilion Posts of the Northern Song Dynasty to Beijing and exhibited it at the Palace Museum. Qi Gong and domestic experts appraised these four volumes of Dharma and unanimously agreed that they were Song Ke and Song Ta.

The Palace Museum communicated with Ms. Wang Limei, hoping to facilitate the exchange of other cultural relics, but to no avail. At the beginning of April 2003, the Shanghai Museum invited Wang Limei to negotiate with Ellsworth on behalf of the Shanghai Museum to purchase the Chunhua Pavilion Post, which was sold for $4.5 million. The sky-high price of zào at that time, but now it has proved to be a unique product that has made a lot of money and is worth a fortune.

In 2000, after discovering that a white marble relief samurai stone carving of the tomb of the fifth dynasty of kings in Hong Kong and Macao was a stolen cultural relic, Ellsworth took the initiative to contact the Chinese government and immediately donated it to the Chinese government free of charge.

In 2002, Ellsworth returned a Western Zhou bronze "Gui Father Dun" to China, which, like the samurai relief, is now in the National Museum of China.

In the 90s of the 20th century, Ellsworth set up a foundation in Hong Kong to rescue ancient houses in Anhui Province and took the lead in donating; He donated most of the Chinese collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

In 1985, a batch of 200 pieces of modern Chinese calligraphy was donated to the Freer Museum of Art, and part of it was donated to the Yale University Museum as a token of appreciation for her mentor Alice. He is one of five advisors to the IRS's Art Donation Review Committee, the other four being curators of major museums.

For An Siyuan, Wu Tianyuan is very respectful, he and Lu Qinzhai are both active figures in Western art, but Lu Qinzhai is a traitor, a Chinese who used the war to smuggle cultural relics of the motherland to make money, and deserved retribution in his old age.

As an American, Ellsworth devoted his life to promoting Chinese culture and letting the West know the East, especially furniture, and he was the first to organize and publish books. Even the old man Wang Shixiang has been influenced and inspired by him, and is the biggest contributor to the Ming and Qing Dynasty furniture to the world.

At the age of 85, Ellsworth accidentally fell into his New York residence and became an antiquity, so all the remaining private collections were auctioned, and in 2014, he was auctioned six times in seven consecutive days, and the entire collection fetched 900 million yuan, attracting the attention of Chinese collectors, antique dealers and many others.

Of course, it is inevitable that some people will have some complaints about these six auctions, such as thinking that the pair of Huanghuali circle chairs sold for more than 9 million US dollars, which is a bit more than the chairs should be worth at the moment.

Wu Tianyuan called Qiu Guofu, it turned out that this was the last batch of Ellsworth collections, which had been in a private warehouse, and it was only after two years of hard work by Su Fubi that he had collected it. Ellsworth never married, had no offspring, and had only one foundation, to which all the money from the auction was donated.

"Brother, get the money ready!"

Qiu Guofu on the other side of the phone laughed and said: "This time, many people are going to come to raise signs, Wu Jiaen of Hong Kong Jiamutang, Ye Chengyao, the king of Huanghuali, and even Chen Dongsheng are coming." ”

Wu Tianyuan hung up the phone, it doesn't matter, they are all old acquaintances, Ye Lao needless to say, Chen Dongsheng is an old opponent, Wu Jiaen slapped Wang Lao's pen holder for 55 million last time, and he can be regarded as having won his own field, not bad money!

The three of them arrived in New York, and even if there was no Ellsworth auction, Wu Tianyuan planned to open up the American market in the next step. Now in Japan, the United Kingdom, France, and even the black market of polar bears, various channels are collecting lost cultural relics. Needless to say, the United States is also a key focus of attention.

"200 million, I think it's a bit hanging!"

Qiu Guofu estimated: "Last time, we held a total of six special auctions, two of which were specifically for Ellsworth's Ming and Qing Dynasty furniture, and there were almost more than 30 lots, with a transaction of 320 million. This is his last collection, the quality is very high, and the elder brother must be mentally prepared. ”

"No problem, Sufuby can't pack it, you can only choose what you like. I just want to set up the showroom, and the furniture is indispensable, so I can take it down as long as it's good. ”

Wu Tianyuan wrote lightly, don't say 200 million, it doesn't matter if it's 500 million, this time he came to grab something, not only the furniture used by the Ming Dynasty, but he also specially wanted to take out an exhibition hall, the literati elegant residence, and the charm of the Ming-style furniture.
