Chapter 284: A Hundred Years of National Hatred, the Sea Is Hard to Settle
"The bronze statue of the head of the 12 zodiac animals in the Old Summer Palace? Big brother, I really don't know much about this knowledge, can you tell me? ”
Yan Qingyu smiled bitterly and looked at the few unattractive bronze statues in the photo, and said to Lin Chengsen. He really couldn't see anything unique about these bronze statues.
Although I have read a lot of books in recent years, and there are all kinds of things, the edification and cultivation of artistic sentiment still requires talent after all.
For antiques, Yan Qingyu really doesn't have much talent.
Lin Chengsen was a little surprised in his heart, he didn't know anything about antiques, so what the hell was the surprise and inexplicable appearance just now?
However, his personality was gentle, so he didn't think much about it, Lin Chengsen smiled: "Xiao Yu, the origin of these beast heads is not small. In the 24th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, the world was prosperous, and after experiencing the foundation of the Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties, and the 24 years of Qianlong's hard work, the country's national strength reached its peak, which is the so-called Kangqian prosperous era. In order to highlight the merits of the emperor, the Qing Dynasty opened the Haiyan Hall of the Old Summer Palace.
Haiyan is taken from Haiyan River, the meaning of national peace and security. "Wenyuan Yinghua" Tang Zhengxi "The Sun Has the King Zifu": He Qinghai Yan, Shi and Suifeng. River, refers to the Yellow River; Yan means calm. "Heqing Haiyan" is also known as "Haiyan Heqing", which means that the water flow of the Yellow River is clear and the sea is calm. In short, it is to sing the praises of peace and prosperity. ”
Yan Qingyu said with some amusement: "Interesting, but what does this have to do with these beast heads?" ”
Lin Chengsen said with a smile: "These beast heads are the essence of Haiyan Hall. ”
"Oh? How so? ”
"The original function of these twelve animal heads was to be used as a hydraulic clock, that is, to signal the time. The twelve animal heads represent the twelve hours of the day, which are the rat, the tiger, the dragon, the horse, the monkey, the dog, the ugly cow, the rabbit, the snake, the sheep, the chicken, and the pig. The portraits are of animal heads, heads of bronze, bodies of stone, hollow water jets, every other hour. The portrait of the birth representing that hour spews water from the mouth; At noon, the fountain gushes out of the mouth of the portrait of the twelve beings at the same time, which is a spectacle. ”
Lin Chengsen does seem to like this industry, and his gentle and elegant temperament also seems to be dancing and radiant at this moment.
Yan Qingyu was also interested when she heard this, rubbed her chin with one hand, picked up the photo again with the other hand and looked at it carefully, smacked it for a while and whispered: "It sounds like it's good, if you can get together again." It would be better than a fountain in my manor......"
Hearing Yan Qingyu's words, the expression on Lin Chengsen's face was wonderful.
"Ahem......"
After interrupting Yan Qingyu's YY, Lin Chengsen patiently explained: "Xiao Yu, these beast heads, as you said, are all real national treasures. National treasures are for treasure and protection, and cannot be ...... at will."
Yan Qingyu looked at Lin Chengsen in surprise and said, "Big brother, didn't you say that these beast capitals were cast in the secret red copper of the Qing Palace?" Is it no longer available? ”
Lin Chengsen was stunned when he heard this, and said, "You can use it." The person who is going to be auctioned now was found by the swimming pool of a wealthy family in the United States. ”
Yan Qingyu smiled: "Isn't this it, since the Yankees can use it, we can naturally use it too." It's not silk porcelain or anything. Such a big piece of red copper pimple, and it is also secret, immortal and incorruptible for a hundred years, we can naturally use it! Let's talk about it. How many have you found now? ”
Lin Chengsen looked at Yan Qingyu speechlessly, but how could his gaze move Yan Qingyu's thoughts, so he could only say helplessly: "Now there are only horses, cows, tigers, and monkey heads." The others are yet to be found. ”
Yan Qingyu was silent when she heard this, and said lightly: "How much is the offer?" ”
Lin Chengsen said: "The American antique dealer bought it for 1,500 US dollars each, but his current asking price starts at 150,000 US dollars, and it is difficult to say what the specific transaction amount is, but according to my guess, it will not exceed 300,000 US dollars." Because those people have not yet speculated these beast heads to the beast heads of the Old Summer Palace, otherwise, it would be difficult to say. ”
Yan Qingyu said categorically: "Buy it, no matter how much it is, you must buy it." In addition, you have to do your best to form the World Art Distribution Company, which is responsible for preparing for the establishment of the World Chinese Museum. Recruit industry elites to join, in the world, especially in Europe, as much as possible to recover Chinese cultural relics. Whether it's a black market or a white market, anyone who comes is not refused. As for the funds, tomorrow you go to Tianxia Financial to find their general manager Liu Luanxiong, and ask him to arrange two accounting personnel for you, and after making a good account budget, you can withdraw it directly from him. ”
Lin Chengsen was overjoyed when he heard this, but he hesitated a little and said, "Xiao Yu, if you do this, the funds you need are really terrifying. Moreover, if you want to go on the black market, I am afraid it will cause controversy......"
Yan Qingyu raised her eyebrows lightly and asked, "Do you need a lot of money?" ”
Lin Chengsen's face became gloomy when he heard this, and his voice was a little low: "Since the Opium War more than a hundred years ago, as many as one million pieces of Chinese cultural relics have been lost overseas due to war, looting, and theft. Among all the well-known foreign museums, there are more than 1.6 million pieces of Chinese cultural relics in the collection, including other Chinese cultural relics collected by the people, and the total number of Chinese cultural relics scattered overseas is more than 17 million, which greatly exceeds the number of local museums and private collections in China. ”
When Yan Qingyu heard this, the whole person was stunned, he knew that those robbers with civilized sticks had snatched a lot of national treasures from China, but he never thought that he would be robbed so much. Moreover, these Chinese national treasures will be publicly displayed in their museums.
What is this? Humiliation, whipping corpses?
At this moment, Yan Qingyu seemed to suddenly understand an ancient poem:
A hundred years of national hatred, the sea is difficult to peace.
What's even more hateful is that after they have looted it openly, they are now thinking of openly looting it again and auctioning off the looted goods publicly.
Yan Qingyu's face was pale, and he said to Lin Chengsen: "Buy, in the future, we will participate in all auctions of Chinese national treasures, buy as much as possible, money is not a problem." ”
Lin Chengsen smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Xiao Yu, I know you are very rich, but even if you go bankrupt, you can't buy one percent." And, don't you think, isn't it very embarrassing to do so? We will be wronged. Once someone buys Chinese antiquities on a large scale, the price of these national treasures will rise dramatically, whether it is on the black market or at auction. ”
"Wronged?"
A sneer appeared at the corner of Yan Qingyu's mouth. His voice was slightly cold, and he said, "Big brother, you should also know where my tens of billions of net worth come from, right?" Originally, I just wanted to clean up those Dongying Japanese slaves, but now it seems that it is better to use those white-skinned ghost animals to practice swords first. Besides, we will spend many years, even lifetimes, to do this, we are not in a hurry, we take our time. I'm going to use their money. Take back what belongs to us. And, I want more! ”
When Lin Chengsen heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up......
……
"Big brother is really right, he ran over without saying hello. When you came, you didn't meet me, so I'll look for you first. ”
At night, in the villa in Repulse Bay, Lin Qingxia was lying in the brocade quilt and complained with an angry face.
Yan Qingyu said with a smile: "All he has in his heart is his career now, and he probably thinks about public before private." What is there to complain about. ”
Lin Qingxia pursed her lips and said disagreeingly: "Why can't you complain?" He's the first family I've ever visited. As a result, instead of meeting my sister first, I went to see yours as my brother-in-law first. It's really ......."
No matter how cold the goddess is, this moment will inevitably fall into the mortal dust after all. became a layman and a vulgar wife, and couldn't stop nagging in front of her beloved, in the final analysis, it was still Yan Qingyu's sin.
If it's just monogamy. So isn't Lin Qingxia's mother's family still able to come to the door casually?
It's good now, after Lin Chengsen and Yan Qingyu finished talking, they didn't want to stay even a quarter of an hour. left directly, went to the office building of the Tianxia Cinema Line and met Lin Qingxia, and was about to leave for the United States.
forced Lin Qingxia to get angry, so she stayed for one night and had a meal together. However, he did not want to stay in the guest room of the villa at night, and opened a room in the Peninsula Hotel.
In fact, not only his mother's family is reluctant to come, but even his wives rarely return to their parents' home.
The gossip outside is overwhelming, whether it is because of envy, jealousy or hatred, there is never less.
Naturally, they themselves are not afraid, because they all know what kind of life they are living.
But they don't want their families to be troubled by this. Therefore, except for the New Year's Festival, they do not often go home to visit.
Because every time they return home, their families are harassed by neighbors and even relatives and friends......
Knowing this, Yan Qingyu would not dislike his wife's nagging endlessly.
Compared with men, daughters' families are more attached to their families. The daughter is the close-fitting padded jacket of her parents, and she is the most filial.
Before being with Yan Qingyu, whether it was Zhao Yazhi, Lin Qingxia, or Zhong Chuhong, they were all filial and obedient daughters.
Nowadays, although it is difficult to return to a home, it is not as convenient as before.
Stretching out his hand to take Lin Qingxia into his arms, Yan Qingyu comforted: "Qingxia, do you know? The eldest brother is now doing a great thing that will benefit the present generation and the future. Do this well, even if the eldest brother will not be famous for eternity, he will definitely be listed in the history books and respected by future generations. ”
Lin Qingxia looked at Yan Qingyu in shock when she heard this, and she said with some concern: "Husband, you, what do you let your eldest brother do?" ”
She was originally ice and snow smart, and after more than a year of training as the managing director of the cinema chain, how could she not know the truth of the daytime?
There is no pie in the sky, and there is no free lunch in the world.
If you want to gain a lot, you will definitely pay a lot of price.
Toil, tears and sweat, these are just the most basic and basic.
On top of that, there is a price that no one else can imagine.
For example, herself, today's Lin Qingxia, in the eyes of outsiders, especially in the film industry, is definitely a big man.
Before becoming the largest shareholder and director of the World Cinema Line, even if she was the first beauty in Southeast Asia, so what?
For people in the entertainment industry, he is just an actor. The status is even far inferior to many actors who are just first-line, let alone a superstar of this level on the second week.
However, now, she is willing to smile at Shuangzhoucheng, and others have to praise her for being affectionate and giving face.
As a generation of theater queens, her scenery in the entertainment industry can definitely shine half of the Xiangjiang River!
However, what a huge price she paid?
Of course, even so, she is still willing to eat.
It's just that she hopes that her eldest brother can be safe and healthy...... (To be continued......)
