Chapter 257: Life is sometimes helpless

(Good morning, brothers and sisters!) I believe that the update of the little wolf is obvious to all, and I hope that those who have recommended votes can vote. Of course, it's better to tip something, O(∩_∩)O~)

Before he got up the next morning, Liu Tao's mobile phone rang.

The call was made by Lin Lao. First, I asked the old lady how her birthday was, and then went straight to the point and asked him to study in Mending City immediately.

Lin Lao spoke, and Liu Tao naturally didn't dare not listen. What's more, what happened in the past few days made him feel more and more that it was necessary to have a good relationship with Lin Lao. If he didn't have Lin Lao's big tree to lean on, it would still be a little difficult for him to protect himself. As for how to make Lin Lao value himself more, there is nothing else but to work hard to learn all kinds of antique knowledge.

However, in his opinion, there is still a big difference between antiques and gambling stones, even if he sees the internal structure clearly, he does not judge the authenticity. I think that when Lin Lao accepted him as an apprentice, he thought that he relied on his eyesight to gamble on stones, so he felt that Liu Tao must have a lot to do in antiques as long as he studied hard, but he didn't know that he relied on the perspective function of the eye of the sky, which was not of much significance to the collection and appraisal of antiques, at best it was an auxiliary.

Anyway, it's already come to this point, it's useless to say anything else, studying hard is the king.

Liu Tao had breakfast at home, and then told his parents that he was going to study at Lin Lao's side, and then went out.

He was supposed to pick up the car, but now he doesn't have time. There was no way, so he had to call Song Wenming, saying that he had something to do in the past few days, and he would pick it up in a few days.

After making the call, he had already arrived at the door of the community. Originally, he wanted to go to the bus station to take a car, but then he took a taxi considering that he hadn't done a long-distance bus for a long time.

After more than an hour, I finally came to the villa of Lin's hometown.

After paying the fare, Liu Tao got out of the car and knocked on the door.

The security guard on duty saw that it was him and quickly opened the door.

"Is Lin Lao in there?" Liu Tao smiled at him and asked.

"Yes."

Liu Tao nodded. Walked briskly into the living room.

At this time, Lin Lao was already sitting on the sofa in the living room reading the newspaper. When he felt someone coming in, he subconsciously raised his head.

"Master, I'm back." Liu Tao walked quickly in front of Lin Lao and said hello.

"It's good to be back. Come. Sit down and talk. Lin Lao put the newspaper aside.

Liu Tao nodded, sat down beside him, and said, "Master, this time Brother Zhao's family is fortunate to have you, otherwise it would not have been possible to have surgery so early." ”

"It's all my own family. There's no need to be so polite. You are my apprentice now, and while I can still move, I should do something for you. Lin Lao waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Master, what is my next learning content? Or continue reading? Liu Tao asked.

Lin Lao shook his head and said, "You should start practicing now, and combine it with the theoretical knowledge you have seen in practice." If there is something you don't understand, you can go back with the question and continue to look for books. ”

"Okay! Let's get started, shall we? Liu Tao stood up as he spoke.

"I can't believe that you are becoming more and more active now, which is a good thing, and you must persevere." Lin Lao also stood up.

The two came to the study. After a systematic scan, the door opened, and the two walked in.

Passing through the study, they came to a door. After a detailed scan, the door opened.

Lin Lao turned his head and glanced at Liu Tao and said, "Go in." ”

An old man and a young man walked in.

When Liu Tao walked in, he found that there were display shelves on three sides of the room, on which there were many objects, including vases, inkstones, and finished products of various shapes carved with jade. It's dazzling, and it's very beautiful.

"Master, do you have any collections? It feels so much! Liu Tao asked as he browsed through the collections.

"These are just some of my collections, and some of them are kept at home in Beijing. You don't look at so many collectibles. There are very few items that are actually worth the money. Lin Lao smiled and said.

"Master, how much is the value you are talking about? Tens of millions or hundreds of millions? Liu Tao smiled and asked. He knew that Lin Lao was the chief expert of the Beijing Museum, and such a person must have a few rare treasures at home.

"You may not believe it, but the most expensive of these items is three million. There are a few good ones at home in the capital. The most expensive one is worth 40 million. Lin Lao smiled and said.

"Master, I don't quite understand. Aren't you the chief expert of the Beijing Museum? According to your eyesight, there must be times in this life when you miss something, and it is impossible not to even touch a good thing, right? Liu Tao asked with some curiosity.

"That's a long story. I've picked up leaks and eyed them in my life. In fact, it's not just me, but everyone who mixes in this industry, there are times when we say that this is paying tuition. Before I became the chief expert of the Beijing Museum, I often went to some antique streets or antique markets, and even went to the countryside to see if I could pick up any leaks. Of course, there must be a harvest, and a few rare treasures have also been obtained. It's just that then these things are no longer in my hands. Lin Lao sighed when he said this.

"Master, aren't you going to sell them all?" Liu Tao couldn't help but ask.

"It's not sold, but it's no different than selling." Lin Lao replied.

"Let me guess, is it the state that knows that you have these good things, and then forcibly buys and sells them? Or did you voluntarily donate something to the museum? Liu Tao thought for a moment and said.

Lin Lao shook his head and said, "The state of private collection has no right to buy and sell by force. If that's the case, who would dare to pay a high price for those sky-high collectibles. I gave these things away. ”

"Give it away? Master, aren't you distressed? "Needless to say, Lin Lao, even Liu Tao felt distressed at this time.

"It's a lie to say that I don't feel distressed. When I sent it out, I couldn't sleep the whole night. But there is no way, for the sake of the children's future, they can only endure the pain and cut their love. When Lin Lao said this, tears couldn't help but flow out.

"Master, I understand. You've traded these treasures for the status of my uncles and uncles. Liu Tao said.

"Sometimes people just lack that opportunity and need someone to pull them up. If you don't pull a handful, you may not be able to mix it up for the rest of your life. There is no way, in order to make people pull, there is always some price to pay. Lin Lao patted Liu Tao's shoulder and said earnestly.

"Master, I know what you mean." Liu Tao nodded and said. Don't look at him as a senior in high school now, but Liu Guangming has always worked in the unit, and often heard him talk about some rules in the unit. (To be continued.) )
