"No, you don't even know him, and you still want to mix in the upper class social circles in the United States?!" , Mike looked at Duan Zetao's ignorance with contempt.

It turned out that the young man's name was Robert. Rothschild, the future first heir of the Rothschild family.

"What kind of Luo is what firewood, what kind of virtue is it!" , Duan Zetao was even more puzzled.

What a fearlessness it is for the ignorant! Mike was almost stunned by Duan Zetao, so he had to quietly pull him aside and explain slowly.

The Rothschilds are one of the most mysterious ancient families on Earth, a controller hidden in the dark side of this world, a powerful family that has controlled the economic lifeblood of this planet for nearly two centuries! The family crest is a red shield.

It may be foreign to the vast majority of ordinary people, because in the age of mass media, people's eyes may only focus on famous names such as the "Rockefeller family" or the "Morgan family".

In the United States before World War II in the twentieth century, there was a classic sentence to describe the situation in the United States at that time, "The ** party belongs to the Morgan family, and the Republican Party belongs to the ...... of the Rockefeller family", in fact, this sentence should be followed by a sentence "And Rockefeller and Morgan used to belong to Rothschild!" ”。

"If you can make friends with him, then you can go sideways throughout the United States, but this Robert is very low-key, usually not easy to appear in public, and I heard that his only hobby is to collect antiques, especially Chinese antiques." Mike introduced to Duan Zetao.

I am afraid that it is difficult to have too much intersection with the life of this noble son born with a golden key, if you want to let Duan Zetao put down his self-esteem and hug other people's thick thighs, Duan Zetao does not bother to do such a thing, Duan Zetao thought secretly.

In Duan Zetao's previous life, there was a legend that an old man used 50 yuan to buy an old porcelain bowl from an antique stall in Qingshuitang, and it turned out that it was a legend that Kangxi used it and sold it for 5 million yuan and became rich overnight.

Duan Zetao put a lot of effort into studying this, and collected a lot of "basins used by Qianlong", "urinals used by Cixi", and "Concubine Zhen's embroidered shoes" at home, but he also became a good doctor after a long illness, and he could slowly see that the door was coming, and finally came to a conclusion that the sky would not fall into the cake.

The ancient is not playing, but Duan Zetao likes to visit the local antique market every time he goes to a place, and he has been following Mike after arriving in the United States.

The antique street in Chinatown is similar to the layout of domestic antique shops, if it weren't for the fact that most of the customers who come here are blonde foreigners, Duan Zetao would have thought that he had returned to the Qingshuitang antique shop in Jiangnan Province.

Look at the east, look at the west, I didn't find anything good, all of them were imitations, and the general store would not put out the real thing, only when old customers or VIPs came to the door, such a fresh face as Duan Zetao, the shopkeeper had been lying on the chaise longue drinking tea since he came in and didn't even raise his eyelids.

Duan Zetao was studying a blue-and-white porcelain vase that seemed to be a good imitation, when he suddenly saw the owner of the antique shop jumping up from the recliner as if he had been electrocuted, nodding and smiling all over his face.

"Mr. Robert, what kind of wind is blowing you here, I said why is my left eyelid jumping today, it turns out that a noble person has come to the door!" The flattering voice of the antique shop owner made Duan Zetao's whole body rise goosebumps.

Duan Zetao turned his head when he heard this, and it was actually Robert Brown, the future first heir of the Rothschild family who he saw at the last reception. Rothschild! He smiled first and nodded to the passer-by Duan Zetao, then turned to the antique shop owner and asked, "Did you find the painting of Lang Shining that I asked you to help me find last time?" ”。

Lang Shining is an Italian, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty came to China as a monk of the Catholic Jesuit in the 54th year, and then entered the palace into the Ruyi Pavilion, became a court painter, successively served in the Kang, Yong, and Qian dynasties, and engaged in the imperial court painter in China for more than 50 years.

In recent years, his works have been highly sought after by collectors, and at the autumn auction held by Zhongjia International in Beijing, Lang Shining's "Yongzheng December Old Summer Palace Pleasure Map" painted by Lang Shining during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty won the highest price of 144 million yuan.

"You're really here, I took a lot of effort to get one, you wait, I'll get it for you." , the owner of the antique shop ran around in the inner room and took out a wooden box with antique packaging.

Opening the wooden box, the owner of the antique shop carefully spread out a painting, which is a portrait of the emperor, the painting is fine, the paper is simple, and there is a line on the left side of the painting "Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty fifty-six years" small characters.

"Look at this painting, it is exactly the same as Lang Shining's painting style, and I also have a test report from an American authoritative organization here, which can be judged to be dated between 1717 and 1719 through the C14 test." , the owner of the antique shop took out another test report and handed it to Robert.

Duan Zetao also stepped forward curiously to take a look at it, and couldn't help but laugh.

Robert looked at Duan Zetao with some displeasure, and the owner of the antique shop was even more annoyed and wanted to drive Duan Zetao out.

"SORRY, I JUST THINK THE LEVEL OF FALSIFICATION OF THIS PAINTING IS TOO CLUMSY, SO I CAN'T HELP BUT LAUGH, PLEASE FORGIVE ME!" , Duan Zetao hurriedly explained.

"Oh, is this painting a fake? Could you please explain it in more detail? ”。 Robert asked, somewhat surprised.

"Although this painting is finely painted, and the paper is indeed the paper of the Qing Dynasty, this imitator made a common-sense mistake, Emperor Kangxi is a thin and pointed face, but the one he painted is a round and fat face, which is actually a portrait of Emperor Qianlong, but how can Emperor Qianlong's painting appear in the fifty-sixth year of Emperor Kangxi?" , Duan Zetao patiently explained to Robert.

"Oh, so that's the case, Mr. is really a master, please give me a lot of advice, heh! Aren't you the teacher that Mack of the Rockefeller family recognized in China? I made a lot of money in Southeast Asia last time, and I heard that you are still an official of the Chinese government? And you own a stake in Apple? ”。 Robert suddenly realized, and suddenly pointed at Duan Zetao and asked.

"So Mr. Robert knows me?!" , Duan Zetao was incredible, and he broke out in a cold sweat in shock, thinking that he was acting secretly, but he didn't want to be seen through by someone with a heart.

"Hehe, our family has very detailed information about everyone who deserves attention!" , Robert said with some pride.

In the following conversation, Duan Zetao's profound knowledge and good conversation quickly won Robert's favor, and Duan Zetao also felt that Robert, a noble son with a very urban appearance and a sense of distance, was actually a very sincere and easy person to get along with.
