"Brother, come on!"

Wu Tianyuan heard Zhai Jianmin call him, walked over, and saw an old man in his sixties standing beside him, wearing brown sunglasses.

"Old Zhang, he is Wu Tianyuan, brother, this is Mr. Zhang Zongxian, have you heard of it?"

Wu Tianyuan was shocked, the famous first collector in Hong Kong, Zhang Zongxian!

In front of him is definitely a big coffee, Zhang Zongxian, who has spent decades sparing no effort to collect Chinese porcelain and Chinese calligraphy and painting around the world, and is generally respected in the world cultural relics collecting circle.

He is the main promoter of the expansion of the two major international auction companies in Hong Kong, Sufubi and Justder. At the same time, he also devoted a lot of energy and financial resources to several major art auction companies in China.

Taiwan's economy began to take off, Zhang Zongxian bypassed the increasingly fierce competition in Hong Kong, went to Taiwan, and got acquainted with a group of business people, who ran errands for these Taiwanese guests, and made great efforts to make Taiwan an important town for the private collection of Chinese cultural relics and artworks. In 1968, he participated in an auction in London and became the first Hong Konger to appear at an international auction.

His expertise in artefacts, especially porcelain and miscellaneous, has earned him the trust and respect of collectors around the world. The three words "Zhang Zongxian" have become a major brand in the antiques industry in Greater China, and have become the guests of honor in the world's major auction companies: when you collect things, he has strange goods to live in; When you auction something, he dares to pay for it. What auction company wouldn't welcome such a client who keeps bringing in lucrative commissions?

In 1993, the first Chinese painting and calligraphy auction in Shanghai Duoyuxuan, Zhang Zongxian held the No. 1 plate at the auction, the first lot was Feng Zikai's "A Round of Red Sun Oriental Surge", the starting price was 20,000 yuan, because it was the first auction, mainland buyers were very cautious in bidding, but hundreds of thousands of places were added, and Zhang Zongxian opened his mouth to add tens of thousands of places, and finally the painting went all the way to 115,000 yuan, setting the highest price of Feng Zikai's works at that time.

In 1994, China Jiade held its first auction, and the first lot was Wu Xizeng's "Fishing Pleasure", with a reserve price of 7,000 yuan. Zhang Zongxian, who was holding the No. 1 card, stood up and said: "Today is Jiade's first auction, I will pay 18,000 yuan, and I will send it as soon as I shoot it!" The scene was suddenly active, Zhang Zongxian successively increased the price, 28,000 yuan, 38,000 yuan, until it was increased to 88,000 yuan, and Mr. Xu Bangda, the appraisal master, came to the stage and sounded the first hammer, and Zhang Zongxian won the jackpot.

In 1994, in the first auction of Beijing Hanhai, Zhang Zongxian held the No. 1 card again, and took out 16 million yuan in one go, eating 50% of the auction turnover of 32 million yuan. As a well-known collector, Zhang Zongxian often spends millions of dollars to buy his favorite masterpieces, always giving the outside world a kind of momentum.

As the jargon goes, there was Zhang Zongxian before, and now there is Liu Yiqian!

"Hello Zhang, you have come all the way here to cheer, and the younger generation is very grateful."

Zhang Zongxian looked at Wu Tianyuan carefully and said happily: "Do you know who I am most happy to see?" It's you young people! ”

He took Wu Tianyuan's hand and said: "I heard Xiao Zhai say that there is a rookie in the mainland, with good eyesight and high level, and even luck is first-class!" When I saw it today, it really deserved my reputation, and I will have the opportunity to come to Hong Kong in the future and sit with me! ”

Wu Tianyuan hurriedly exchanged business cards and cherished Zhang Zongxian's personal touch, which is an important connection. And it's Hong Kong, which is an important Asian town for auctions, and I'm going to go sooner or later in the future, so it's much easier with Mr. Zhang's guidance.

"Old Zhangtou, how many years have you not been to Liulichang? Forget about us old folks, right? ”

Ma Lao also saw Zhang Zongxian and teased, several old men got together to reminisce about the past.

"Brother, Mr. Zhang's status in the Hong Kong circle is the same as that of Mr. Ouyang in Liulichang! It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a good word, and if you go to Hong Kong in the future, let's go and move around together, and there will be many benefits. ”

Wu Tianyuan could feel Zhai Jianmin's diligence, and it seemed that he wanted to try his best to make up for what happened last time, and said with a smile: "Brother is Zhang Lao's apprentice?" ”

"How can I be blessed!" Zhai Jianmin laughed and said: "The old man is the originator of our agent, and he is still active in the circle, and I don't know how many heavy weapons he has exchanged in his hands." More than half of the overseas repatriated cultural relics have the credit of the old man. ”

This is also the reason why Wu Tianyuan respects Zhang Zongxian, especially supporting the auction, now there is a lot of money in the country, no matter what the reason, even if it is an investment, he bought a lot of cultural relics and returned to China, which is also the main channel for the people to rescue cultural relics.

Taiwan's Huang Xuanlong, who met the four treasures of the emperor last time, today's Zhai Jianmin and Zhang Zongxian, and Wu Tianyuan can also be regarded as leaders in Hong Kong and Taiwan. If you have a chance to see it, think that there is really a treasure in Hong Kong under the mountain!

The 12 Treasures of the Prosperous World will be held for a total of three days, the first day is all connoisseurs, and then there are players and tourists, and every day is full of people. The Chinese have a very heavy affection for the emperor, and when it comes to the imperial system, it represents the highest level.

As long as it passes through the hands of the emperor, the value is several times more than ten times, and the aesthetics of the emperor are very sought after. Tianyuanju and Liulichang have a lot of newspaper pages and headlines, which are not only splendid after the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, but also a small number of fires.

"You're not going to get it for a small museum?"

The exhibition was finally over, Wu Tianyuan had a good rest for two days, and Xilin's affairs came to an end. Now I also know that I am being targeted by gluttony, and I have no choice, and I can only see the tricks.

"Museums? I? ”

Wu Tianyuan looked at Sun Zhongzheng and said with a smile: "It's too early, right?" How many are there now? ”

"It's not early, the museum really has to prepare for at least a year, all kinds of procedures, hardware facilities, security systems and so on! The main reason is that your kid's ability to pick up leaks is too strong, I estimate that it won't take a year to have hundreds of pieces, and they are all heavy weapons, you think about it. ”

Wu Tianyuan's heart moved, Sun Lao's mention is really far-sighted! This time, the twelve treasures of the prosperous world were reminded that although it was only a small exhibition, there were only twelve exhibits, but Rong Bao Zhai was busy for several days, and it took a lot of thought to keep the security alone.

Old man Ouyang said afterwards that next time it would be over, it would be too tiring. Twelve heavy weapons, seven or eight billion! If there was a mistake, he couldn't afford to pay the responsibility.

"You go to Hu Jianmin to discuss, Jianye has a project in the capital, ready-made hardware. You have a good relationship, and others simply like to collect, and it is estimated that the collection in your hand is almost enough for a small museum. ”

"Yes, he has already said this, I'll get in touch."

After listening to Wu Tianyuan, he really had to think about it, the heavy weapons were all collected by himself, and the general ones were auctioned. Making money is also for treasure hunting, and now that you are famous, your home is not safe, and it is even more tiring to go to the bank safe every day, so you can simply start preparing for the museum now.

Even if it's a little smaller, you can put it directly after the treasure hunt, and it's easy for everyone to watch it.

"You're coming to the capital the day after tomorrow? Okay, let's meet and talk. ”

Wu Tianyuan hung up Hu Jianmin's phone, calculated that he still had 160 million in his hand, leaving 60 million for backup, 100 million should be enough for start-up capital, right?

"Brother Niu, that's the way it is, you see?"

Wu Tianyuan found Niu Feng for dinner at noon and told him his thoughts, including gluttonous things.

"Originally, I wanted to tell you about gluttony for a while, just because I was afraid that they would deal with you. But since you've been targeted by them, there's no way to do it, let's see the move! ”

Niu Feng comforted: "But don't worry, they won't really find someone to assassinate your kid, it's just a trick, just be careful." As for museums, I'm trying to talk to you about that. I have reported your behavior to the leader these few times, and the above has begun to pay attention to you and feel that you are a worthy object to cultivate. ”

"In just two months, I have done so many great things, found a lot of heavy weapons, and established a museum, which is what I mean!"

Wu Tianyuan looked at Niu Feng's slightly meaningful expression, suddenly understood something, nodded and said: "Understood, since it is the treasure of the country, I have to give back to the society!" I have this awareness, please rest assured! ”

"You kid is a smart man, as for the formalities of the museum, I will contact you, and it will be done soon. But you have to worry about the rest, and Hu Yan is your own person and can be trusted. ”

Niu Feng looked at Wu Tianyuan and said with a straight look in his eyes: "It's a tough battle with gluttony, but you are definitely not fighting alone!" ”
