"Whose invitation is this?"

Just when Wu Tianyuan was about to set off to hunt for treasure, he suddenly received a mysterious invitation letter, and the payment was Tianjin Zhang Lianzhi?

"I know this Zhang Lianzhi, I heard that he is the chairman of Guangdong Catering Group, and he has dozens of big hotels under it, and he is worth a lot of money."

Hu Jianmin seems to have heard of this person, he is a big tyrant, but he is very low-key, that is, he has met a few times, and he has no deep friendship.

"It's not far away anyway, let's go take a look."

Wu Tianyuan and Hu Jianmin took a car to Tianjin at noon, and soon arrived at their destination, in front of a huge manor on the outskirts of Tianjin.

"This is a porcelain house?"

The two of them entered the garden, and as soon as they got out of the car, they were shocked by the scene in front of them, the wall of the porcelain house, all formed by porcelain embedded in the wall. The entire huge building was made of ancient porcelain!

"Hello Director Wu, I have admired the name for a long time, and I finally have the opportunity to meet today!"

Zhang Lianzhi greeted him warmly, and took the two of them to visit his proud work.

"This villa is decorated by me with more than 4,000 pieces of ancient porcelain, more than 400 pieces of white marble stone carvings, more than 40 tons of crystal stones and agate, and more than 700 million ancient porcelain pieces, and now some people estimate it at 9.8 billion!"

He said proudly: "Many people call me an antique maniac, and the porcelain pieces used to decorate the house on the porcelain house are almost all my 40 years of collecting painstaking efforts, and my antique inventory has filled 4 large warehouses over the years. ”

Wu Tianyuan looked at the decoration of the house curiously, and even the handrails of the stairs were inlaid with various porcelain tiles, which were colorful and beautiful.

"There is no piece of modern porcelain used for the decoration of the house, and there are many porcelain pieces from five famous kilns such as Jun kiln and Ru kiln. Porcelain covers various historical periods, including celadon of the Jin Dynasty, Tang Sancai, Jun porcelain of the Song Dynasty, Longquan porcelain, blue and white of the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and colorful colors of the Qing Dynasty. ”

Zhang Lianzhi took the two to the living room, pointed to the huge porcelain plate and said: "There are many famous paintings made of porcelain pieces in the house. This painting is Zhang Daqian's famous painting, made of blue and white porcelain of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and the red porcelain firing technology has now been lost. ”

"The color powder plate in the middle is from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and I bought it with 3 million a few years ago."

"Huh? This pair of bronze deer is the old collection of Cining Palace? ”

Wu Tianyuan found a pair of bronze deer at the door, which turned out to be Cixi's beloved things back then, but he didn't expect it to be here.

"There are also these white marble carvings placed in the porcelain house, which are all in the old collection of the Old Summer Palace, and I have spent more than 30 million auctions to collect them from different places in the past few years."

"The lion at this door is the largest three-color glazed lion in the world, it was originally an item on Duan Qirui's mansion, and it took me two full years to collect it, which can be regarded as a proud work."

Hu Jianmin suddenly found a large display cabinet with an egg-like thing in it, and asked curiously: "What kind of egg is this?" ”

"Dinosaur egg fossils! 200 million years ago, in the Cretaceous, it was inadvertently collected. ”

Wu Tianyuan and Hu Jianmin glanced at each other, I really don't know what to say? To say that Zhang Lianzhi's spirit is very persistent, he can be regarded as receiving some good things. But this practice is a little speechless, porcelain pieces are also cultural relics, especially the five famous porcelain, each piece is very precious, used to decorate the villa?

"Mr. Zhang is looking for me?" The three of them sat down to drink tea and chat, and Wu Tianyuan asked curiously.

"Hey, you're a big connoisseur, and I've been to the museum, and I'm shocked!"

Zhang Lianzhi said enviously: "I have been playing with the collection for more than 40 years, and a villa is not as good as an exhibition hall for you. ”

"Oh?" Wu Tianyuan was stunned, did he want to buy this house for himself?

"Don't get me wrong!" Zhang Lianzhi explained with a smile: "I want to give you something, but it's not a house, it's a lifetime effort, no matter what others say, I will die here." ”

He stood up, led the two of them to the warehouse in the backyard, opened the door, and several stone carvings appeared in front of Wu Tianyuan.

"This is a Buddha statue from the Song and Yuan dynasties? And the Buddha head? ”

Wu Tianyuan hurriedly went up to identify, there are a total of six stone Buddha statues, three are in the middle of the Yuan Dynasty, two are in the late Song Dynasty, and there is a huge Buddha head in the early Song Dynasty!

"Sure enough, it's a big connoisseur, admire and admire!"

Zhang Lianzhi praised that there have been Buddha statues for thousands of years, and there are many temples in previous dynasties. However, the threshold for identification is high and difficult, and it should be distinguished according to the style characteristics of various periods. He also found a lot of experts and spent several years figuring out all the origins, but he didn't expect Wu Tianyuan to know the whole situation as soon as he entered the door.

"How did all this come about?"

Wu Tianyuan stared at Zhang Lianzhi, could it be that they were all unearthed? Generally, Buddha statues rarely appear in the market, they are all temple offerings, these are handed down after hundreds of thousands of years, not to say that they are more valuable, but they record a lot of historical information.

"A few years ago I went to Thailand and found these Buddha statues in a small village." Zhang Lianzhi explained: "I heard from the locals that someone sold it here, and I guess it should be a tomb robber who stole it from a certain temple and was in a hurry to sell it to the border. Since I had fate, I bought it and kept it until now. ”

"Make an offer!"

Wu Tianyuan nodded, Zhang Lianzhi should not be a stolen goods seller, otherwise he would not have stayed until now, and he would still look for himself. These must go into the museum, and the risk is too great for him to play.

"I know that the Tianyuan Museum has an exhibition hall of the Old Summer Palace, and I also have some old collections from that time, although they are not as precious as yours, but they are also relics of that year."

Zhang Lianzhi said with a smile: "100 million, even these Buddha statues are packaged for you, and it is their blessing to be able to enter the museum!" ”

Wu Tianyuan nodded, this price is also fair, just the big lion at the door is very shocking, and now he has more than 3 billion in his hand, take it!

Hu Jianmin asked curiously: "Lao Zhang, is your business turnover not working?" ”

"Hey, Lao Hu, you also know that business is not good now!" Zhang Lianzhi said helplessly: "In the past few years, it was smooth sailing and I made some money, but I ended up in this house. Now there is something wrong with the funds, and I can only sell some treasures. ”

"I don't want to go up for auction, after all, it's the result of years of hard work. After thinking about it, it's better to find Director Wu, at least I can go and see them! ”

Wu Tianyuan nodded, no matter what Zhang Lianzhi's aesthetic taste was, this heart of protecting cultural relics alone was worthy of respect. You can contact him more in the future, and if he wants to sell the collection again, find himself as soon as possible, and pack up the good ones and take them.

In the end, Wu Tianyuan selected a large number of collections, all of which were packed and taken away with 150 million yuan, and went back to improve the Old Summer Palace and the exhibition hall.

At this time, the benefits of money are reflected, and the big collector is 100 million yuan at any time, and he can only stare dryly without money, watching the treasure slip away from his hands. That feeling is very painful, especially for Wu Tianyuan, every piece is a living life, and I cherish it even more.

"Remember to inform a few local tyrants at the next meeting, there is this kind of business around you to book it as soon as possible, and the opportunity is rare."

Wu Tianyuan felt on the way back: "Business is not good now, there must be a lot of big collectors to realize, your business is estimated to be the same, few people take hundreds of millions of cash out, I will do this thing!" (To be continued.) )
