Chapter 72: The Feast (Part II)
After listening to Nina's words, everyone immediately looked at Meng Lina with shocked faces, it turned out that Meng Lina was a member of the Rockefeller family. Suddenly, Wang Tianyu became more mysterious in their hearts, and his status rose sharply to a height that they couldn't reach.
Wang Bonian and the rest of the Wang family looked at Meng Lina with a look that was a little strange in addition to shock. Wang Tianyu has kept Meng Lina in the Wang family for the past two days, and everyone in the Wang family only thinks that Meng Lina is just an ordinary person, although she is a friend of Wang Tianyu, but everyone in the Wang family did not deliberately get close to her, but they didn't dare to be rude to her, just very casual, and Meng Lina didn't have the arrogance and temper of the eldest lady, she was very easy-going, and she got along very well with everyone in the Wang family. Especially Mary Wang has accompanied Meng Lina around in the past two days, and Meng Lina and Wang have become good friends. Now that everyone in the Wang family listened to Meng Lina's words, they knew that Meng Lina was actually a member of the Rockefeller family, so they naturally looked at Meng Lina in disbelief.
The Rockefeller family, people with a little business common sense know that the Rockefeller family controlled the world's oil before, although it has not been able to monopolize oil now, but no one knows how much property the Rockefeller family has accumulated, but it must be an astronomical amount.
Everyone didn't expect it, even Wang Bonian and the people of the Wang family didn't expect that Wang Tianyu would be able to get in touch with the Rothschild family and the Rockefeller family, and in their eyes, these two families were definitely against the sky.
"I ......" Meng Lina stood up and just spoke, but was interrupted by Wang Tianyu, and looked at Nina with a smile, a little puzzled in her heart, why did Nina target Meng Lina? Wang Tianyu and Nina both knew that Meng Lina had no status in the Rockefeller family at all. Now Nina said this, didn't she want Meng Lina to lose face in front of everyone?
Nina came to Hong Kong to dig into the corner of the Rockefeller family and subdue Wang Tianyu, and the Rockefeller family has a vendetta with the Rothschilds, which can make the Rockefeller family lose face, of course she is very happy, and Nina is very competitive, so she naturally wants to compete with Meng Lina.
No matter what Meng Lina said, she can be regarded as Wang Tianyu's nominal wife, even if she has no feelings, Wang Tianyu will not let her lose face in front of everyone, so she said with a smile: "Oh, Meng Lina doesn't want to reveal her identity, so give me that gift and let me give it to my grandfather." ”
"Concubine Fei!" Wang Tianyu shouted behind him.
Concubine Ling Fei handed the gift to Wang Tianyu, but Wang Tianyu stuffed the gift into Meng Lina's hand, winked at Meng Lina, and then said, "Meng Lina, it seems that you should hand over this gift to my grandfather!" ”
Meng Lina glanced at Wang Tianyu in surprise, and naturally understood that this was Wang Tianyu helping her, and she was suddenly a little moved in her heart, but she didn't move, she knew that this was a gift that Wang Tianyu prepared for his grandfather, and what did she give Wang Tianyu when she took it?
Wang Tianyu pulled Ramon Lina and said, "Go!" ”
Meng Lina saw Wang Tianyu's encouraging eyes with a hint of expectation, so the ghost sent her to Wang Bonian. After all, Meng Lina came out of a big family, and smiled generously at Wang Bonian: "Grandpa, I wish you happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." ”
Wang Bonian took Meng Lina's gift with a smile and didn't open it immediately, but the people around him all looked at Wang Bonian with a little expectation, hoping to see Meng Lina's gift, and think about it with your toes, can the gift from the Rockefeller family be an ordinary thing?
Wang Bonian looked at the expectant eyes around him, and his vanity in his heart was greatly satisfied, so he also opened Meng Lina's gift in public. Everyone's eyes lit up, and they immediately recognized that this calligraphy and painting was the "Zhichuan Migration Map" by Wang Meng, a great painter of the Yuan Dynasty.
"Zhichuan Migration Map" is the most important work of the Yuan Dynasty painter Wang Meng in the folk, Wang Meng himself is a very legendary person, he was born in 1301, spent the last few years in prison, and later generations called him and Huang Gongwang, Wu Zhen, Ni Zan together as the "Yuan Four Family". There are a total of seven inscriptions by seven scholars, great painters or great poets of the same period or later as Wang Meng. Among them, there is also an inscription poem by Chen Ze, a great genius of the Ming Dynasty, which reads: "After returning from detention, the plough and ox are stable and steady." Tao Rong, lead and mercury are still left, and the benefits are fascinating. Although it is a small poem, experts say that the poems on these topics are also precious, for example: Chen Ze's ink is almost invisible, and the small poem of "Zhichuan Migration Map" is the only one that Chen Ze has circulated in the world, which is very rare.
The subject of "Zhichuan Migration Map" is the story of Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who moved to Luofu Mountain for alchemy. As early as the Yuan Dynasty, Luofu Mountain has been a famous religious mountain where Buddhism and Taoism coexist, and it is famous, as a milestone figure in the history of Taoism, Ge Hong has lived in Luofu Mountain for 36 years. This painting depicts Ge Hong moving to Luofu Mountain with his wife and children, with the landscape as the main body and the activities of the characters as the eyes, vividly portraying the image of Ge Hong wearing a Taoist crown and a Taoist robe. On the mountain road in front of Ge Hong, there are servants carrying luggage on their shoulders, and there are two people following behind Ge Hong, one riding a bull and the other walking, and in the distance, the highest peak of Luofu Mountain, Feiyunding, is clearly identifiable.
Compared with Wang Meng's "Gezhichuan Migration Map" with the same theme in the Palace Museum, this painting has more inscriptions by seven scholars, great painters or great poets, such as Han Xing, Ni Zhan, Tao Fuchu, Chen Ze and others. Han Xing was the teacher of Wang Mian, another great painter of the Yuan Dynasty; The inscription poem of Chen Ze, who is known as the "Ten Talents" along with Gao Qi and others, is the only surviving handwriting of him, and it itself has extremely high historical value; The inscription poem of Ni Zhan, another representative of the "Four Yuan Families", is also very consistent with his recognized hand-me-down paintings "Songting Mountain" and "Rong Knee Zhai"; There are more than 20 collection seals of Xiang Yuanbian, a great collector in the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, some experts believe that this painting is of epoch-making significance. As far as the history of Chinese painting is concerned, the Yuan Dynasty was a revolution, the landscape paintings of the Yuan Dynasty were illusory and real, while the landscape paintings of the Song Dynasty were real and illusory. Wang Meng's painting has both the realism of the Song Dynasty and the idealism of the Yuan Dynasty, which is a high degree of combination of realism and idealism. Since then, there have been no such combined works in Chinese painting.
The painting also sold for 402.5 million yuan, second only to the 436.8 million yuan price of the Northern Song Dynasty calligrapher Huang Tingjian's Pillar Inscription, making it the second most expensive ancient painting and calligraphy work on the auction market so far.
Of course, sometimes price is not the only measure of value, and if you really look at it from the perspective of value, "Pillar Inscription" is not necessarily higher than "Watagawa Migration Map", both of which are priceless for these art collectors, and cannot be measured by money.
The guests in the hall looked at Wang Bonian one by one, their eyes were full of envy, but they could only be envious, they knew that no matter how high the price was, Wang Bonian would not sell it.
Nina glared at Wang Tianyu fiercely, Nina naturally knew that Meng Lina couldn't take out such a valuable gift, and Wang Tianyu and Meng Lina's previous small actions failed to hide from Nina.
Wang Tianyu raised his eyebrows, gave Nina a provocative look, and made a victorious gesture.
Nina was not discouraged by this, but became more and more frustrated, and made up her mind in her heart to subdue Wang Tianyu.
The next banquet is when the businessmen start talking in groups, and if you are lucky, you may be able to take this opportunity to negotiate a few big deals, even if you don't get any gains, it is good to get to know more people.
And Wang Tianyu, Meng Lina and Nina are surrounded by people, I don't know if Wang Tianyu is not very interested in these things in the mall, or the three of them don't bother to talk to them about those business things at all, Wang Tianyu, Meng Lina and Nina are all absent-minded.
Everyone saw that it was difficult to achieve results on Wang Tianyu and the three of them, so they all began to shift their positions and set their eyes on Wang Bonian. Wang Bonian was suddenly very busy, but he was very happy.
In the morning and afternoon, Wang Bonian became the person who gained the most abundantly, not only became famous, but also got two priceless celebrity calligraphy and paintings, and more importantly, negotiated dozens of big businesses, and those big people also gave a lot of benefits in order to cooperate with the Wang family, and everyone knows all this.
By the time of the day, the business had been almost discussed, and the evening banquet was a relaxing time, and people began to dance ballroom dances to the rhythm of the music with their dance partners.
Wang Tianyu can only sit in a wheelchair and watch the men and women on the field continue to dance to the rhythm, there seems to be nothing to do with Wang Tianyu here, but today is Wang Bonian's 60th birthday, Wang Bonian and those big people are all there, Wang Tianyu can't help but come, anyway, it's only today, so Wang Tianyu sat in a corner and ate by himself.
Wang Tianyu was surrounded by a few beauties who had captivated the country and the city, attracting the attention of countless young boys, but now no one dared to step forward and invite these beauties to dance.
In fact, at the beginning of the banquet, there were still a few sons who felt very good about themselves and came up to invite Nina.
Wu Luoyi is Wang Tianyu's fiancée, and no one is stupid enough to ask her to dance in front of Wang Tianyu. But two sons came to Concubine Ling Fei, and before they could speak, they were frightened back by Concubine Ling Fei's eyes full of murderous intent. But what is even more powerful is Nina, a son-in-law came to Nina and invited Nina very gentlemanly, but Nina didn't even look at the son-in-law, just said lightly: "You are not worthy!" "And then? No, the boy walked away. Since then, those sons and brothers have not dared to come forward to invite these beauties again. Wang Tianyu smiled indifferently about this, continue his sweep, it is rare to have delicious food, wouldn't it be a waste not to eat?
"Look at your eating appearance, it's like you've been hungry for several lifetimes." Nina looked at Wang Tianyu's ungentlemanly appearance and said with a smile.
"Shut your mouth!" Wang Tianyu said, and forked a piece of foie gras and stuffed it into Nina's mouth.
"You ......" Nina was suddenly speechless by Wang Tianyu's sudden movements.
"Hey, I can still speak, it doesn't seem to be blocked." Wang Tianyu looked at Nina and said with a smile, and then raised another piece of foie gras, Nina hurriedly took a few steps back, did not speak, just glared at Wang Tianyu fiercely.
"Okay, Tianyu, don't tease her." Wu Luoyi said to Wang Tianyu, and then took out a tissue to help Wang Tianyu gently wipe the oil stains on the corner of his mouth.
"Luoyi, leave this bastard alone, I'll take you to the dance." Nina pulled Wu Luoyi and walked towards the center of the hall, and then the two jumped, Nina danced the men's dance steps, and Wu Luoyi danced the women's dance steps, dancing and talking in a whisper.
