Chapter Ninety-Five: The World Exhibition
As the vast night gradually fades away, a round of red light rises from the sea level, reflecting the Oriental Pearl of Shanghai, and Shanghai ushers in a new day.
Yan Lao and the others got up early, and unlike usual, Yan Lao and the others all dressed up a little and tidied up their appearance and clothes.
A group of old men were all wearing the costumes specially prepared by Director Ning, which was a set of Tang costumes. Chinese, especially the elderly, seem to have a special love for Tang costumes.
Yan Lao's Tang costume is yellow, embroidered with a giant dragon in the sky, representing the dignity of Yan Lao's identity. And Hong Tianbao is also very rare to wear the robe worn by the ancient champion, noble and elegant, but free and easy. Tang Xin also put on a cheongsam, and his delicate and transparent figure was suddenly revealed.
Sun Moba, this guy is in trouble, Director Ning has a headache all night, and he doesn't think of what to dress him well. In the end, Yan Lao asked people to customize a suit overnight, and Sun Moba didn't know where to get a pair of sunglasses. As soon as I put it on, I really have the appearance of a special bodyguard.
"You're a good kid! It's a pity not to mix with the underworld. Hong Tianbao said with a smile, wearing this robe, he was not comfortable at all, it was too dazzling.
"Hey, hey! What's so bad about that? As long as the boss Chrysostom opens, my grandson will immediately look at you, charge into battle for you, and help you lay down half of China's best country. Boss, what do you think? Why don't we set up a play? The more Sun Moba spoke, the more energetic he became.
Hong Tianbao sweated profusely, and he was just talking casually, this guy was really energetic.
"Ahem! Boring! Not interested! ”
Tang Xin frowned and said, "It's really awkward to wear this thing, and it's uncomfortable." ”
Hong Tianbao was amused in his heart, and secretly thought: You girl is a rabbit who runs all over the mountains and is used to being wild, of course she is not used to wearing this costume.
"Hey! Zhitian pepper, you have a fight with the welcome lady in the bar! Sun Moba teased.
"Black charcoal, don't compare me with those oily noodles, otherwise I'll be finished with you." Tang Xin glared at Sun Moba angrily.
Today's saying is extraordinary, it is a good saying for the dragon to descend into the world, and its significance is extraordinary, and everyone attaches great importance to it.
Since last night, Director Ning has been busy in the dark. Yesterday he sent out a lot of invitations, and the more marginal colleagues were notified by phone. To Director Ning's surprise, almost all of them said they would come. Even Kong Lao and others were no exception, and Zhu Fang's identification work was stranded for two days. This made Director Ning overjoyed, and it was a great honor for the five masters to gather in Shanghai.
Obviously, Director Ning and the others still underestimated the shock brought by the dragon jade carving.
Since the news of the birth of the dragon jade carving, the entire antique world has been a sensation again. Therefore, many people who did not receive the invitation also rushed to Shanghai, just to see the style of Shenlong. The more remote people came overnight wearing the stars and the moon.
In order to increase the sensational effect, Director Ning also spent a lot of money on major media, especially satellite TV stations in various provinces. Naturally, last night the major TV stations repeated this festive news non-stop during prime time. For a time, the news of the descent of the dragon spread all over the country.
The fame of the jade carving of the twelve zodiac gods is so great that even the common people know that they have heard such a legend since they were children. The 12 zodiac signs are the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese people, and they are closely related to the lives of the people, and they are inextricably linked. Far from it, each of us has our own zodiac year.
As a result, not only the people in the antique industry are surging, but even other Chinese people are also full of enthusiasm, which can be described as a celebration of the whole world! Especially the Shanghainese, they all ran to tell each other, passionate and happy, and at night it was really empty of thousands of people, and the crowd sentiment was unprecedentedly high.
What's more, they even secretly set off firecrackers, which made the chengguan and other law enforcement officers have two headaches in their heads. With such a festive day, you can't pull a large group of people back to educate, right?
The major media in Shanghai naturally would not let go of such a headline, so the Chinese Shenlong flew out of Shenzhou in an instant and began to look down on the world.
And early this morning, Shanghai's short-distance stations and airports ushered in a peak of passenger flow, and the vigilance of the entire airport was immediately raised. And Shanghai merchants who smell fishy smell are ready to take the opportunity to engage in activities to make a lot of money.
After Elder Yan, Hong Tianbao and the others had breakfast, they were led by a staff specially arranged by Director Ning.
Today, Director Ning, as the host, can't spare time at all, he was busy until more than two o'clock last night, and he hanged himself at five o'clock in the morning. He first went to the venue to arrange the rest of his hands, and then went to the airport to greet Kong Lao and the others.
There were too many visitors to the capital this time, and the capital directly chartered a charter flight. Director Ning led the people to wait at the airport for a short time, and the chartered plane in the capital slowly landed.
What surprised Director Ning again was that this time Lian Ye Lao and Dai Lao arrived. Ye Lao heard the wind soon after Hong Tianbao got the jade dragon, and when he heard that the first exhibition of the dragon was held today, he also led Ye Jianzhong to come with the team.
"Kong Lao, you are here! Ouch! Even General Ye Lao and Dai Lao have arrived, and they are far away! Curator Ning hurriedly greeted him, followed by a large group of followers.
"Huh! Wouldn't Curator Ning welcome me, an old man? Ye Lao joked.
"Why! How's that! Ye Lao was able to bend to Shanghai, which was the blessing of Shanghai. Walk! Let's go to the museum first and then talk, Yan Lao and they should also be on the way. Director Ning helped Ye Lao and said as he walked.
"Alas! Pity us old bones! In the morning, before dawn, it began to toss. An old man in his nineties was on crutches and said with ginseng next to him. That's what he said, but this person's face was full of joy, how could there be a trace of unhappiness and complaining?
The identity of this old man is not simple, his name is Dai Zhenhua, and he was the minister of culture.
"Haha! What do I think of Lao Dai today, who is radiant and radiant, not like a person who has been tossed? Ye Lao laughed and said, he has a good relationship with Dai Lao, and he often has contacts. Although the age difference between the two is nearly ten years, the two also have common hobbies, and there is no generation gap when they talk.
"Haha! People are in good spirits at happy events! Dai Lao also laughed.
Ding De, the director of the Palace Museum, was a little sour when he spoke, this thing should have happened in their Palace Museum first, but the Shanghai Museum took the lead. Therefore, Director Ding said in a bitter and sour tone: "Lao Ning, you Shanghai is majestic this time!" ”
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter. They also all know Curator Ding's surname, and they probably drank a big vat of sour vinegar last night, right? Under the arrangement of Director Ning, everyone got on the bus one by one.
This convoy was huge, with more than 200 people coming from the capital. Director Ning ran three large car dealerships in a row, and only then did he reluctantly borrow nearly 100 cars of the same model. A long line of cars drove out at the airport, which really gave people the feeling of being busy, that is, the general manager of the airport thought that he had seen a big scene, and he couldn't help but gasp when he saw this formation.
"Curator Ning is really a person with great energy!" The secretary of the general manager of the airport said with a sigh on his face.
"It's really not something we can compare, and such a welcoming convoy is probably unprecedented! Terror! In the end, the general manager could only use the word "horror" to describe it.
When Hong Tianbao and Yan Lao and their entourage came to the museum, the museum was already bustling and crowded. From a distance, it looks like a nest of ants, shoulder to shoulder, and the door is like a market. This is estimated to be the most crowded day in the history of the Shanghai Museum.
The museum's own parking lot is also overloaded, but fortunately, Director Ning has been prepared to requisition several large parking lots nearby. Although it also feels a bit of a drop in the bucket, at least it has eased.
The museum's welcome hall has long been fenced off by security guards, and it will be used as a venue for press conferences for a while, and no idle people can enter the venue for the time being. However, there are many media filming personnel inside, who are installing and setting up various long cannons, short cannons and other shooting tools.
I saw a red carpet on the ground of the welcome hall and dense chairs. In the middle of the stage stands several long-legged microphones, behind which is a giant ultra-high-definition screen. In the air of the hall was a large ball suspended from a transparent silk, which was now covered by a red cloth.
Hong Tianbao looked at these tide-like crowds and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Fortunately, the Shanghai Museum is big enough, otherwise I really don't know if it can accommodate tens of thousands of people. Moreover, crowds poured in from time to time, and the security guards of the museum also showed a slight worry on their faces, feeling unprecedented pressure.
"Attention all teammates! Attention all teammates! Keep an eye on the venue and do your best to maintain the safety of the museum. The security captain said solemnly into the intercom.
Curator Ning had already anticipated this situation, and he also made various diversion measures. Large screens have also been erected on three sides of the large square outside the museum, where you can also watch the dragon shine through the screen.
Tang Xin also took a breath of cool air, and said staggeringly: "This is also an exaggeration!" ”
Although Sun Moba also admitted in his heart that this abortion made his scalp numb, his mouth was contrary to Tang Xin's.
"Say you women have long hair and short knowledge! People shout a lot about this, it's really Hebo who has never been to the sea, it's rare and weird! Sun Moba said disdainfully.
Tang Xinxiu raised his eyebrows and scolded angrily: "You don't make a sound, no one says you're dumb!" You black charcoal is a parrot with a tongue, a mouthful! ”
Hong Tianbao saw Sun Moba's mouth surging, and knew that this guy wanted to continue scolding. He hurriedly came out and said something fair.
"Tang Xin is right, as a museum exhibition, it can be held to this extent, it is indeed incomparable and unparalleled in the world, Xiaobawang, don't deny it. However, Xiaobawang's words are not false, there is indeed no need to make a fuss, China has less than anything, that is, many people. ”
Now it's okay, Tang Xin and Sun Moba both praised it, and then they both stepped on it. Yan Lao smiled helplessly, he had always been indifferent to Sun Moba and Tang Xin, and when he saw them arguing, he could only stare at them. can stand between these two guys as a concoctor, I'm afraid only Hong Tianbao is the only one.
