537 Old Summer Palace

The four joys of life are: a long drought and a rainy day, meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land, spending candles in the cave room, and the title of the gold list.

Since Li Mu bought the United States for so long, he has met almost all the Chinese very kindly, and this cordiality is truly from the heart, not just superficial polite greetings.

If it weren't for special reasons, the Chinese in this era would never take the initiative to leave their hometown and come to the United States, which is thousands of miles away from home, so the Chinese in the United States have a particularly deep understanding of "meeting old acquaintances in other places", because all Chinese in the United States know that they can only survive if they are in a group, and if they want to live better, they can only hug tighter.

Therefore, not only Li Mu, but also in the United States, almost all Chinese will always do their best to help as much as possible when they encounter Chinese people asking for help, and they will never shirk.

After the establishment of the Junma Group, the life of the Chinese people is getting better day by day, many Chinese have gradually shared this generosity with more people, and the scope of the beneficiaries is no longer limited to the Chinese community, which also makes the overall image of the Chinese people better and better, they are kind, generous, and full of a sense of justice, and even in Junma Town and Kuobin Town, the criminal crime rate of the whole year last year was actually zero, which is extremely rare in the current United States, and it is unique in the United States.

is also because of the habit he has developed for a long time, so Li Mu always behaves very tolerant when facing all Chinese, even if he is occasionally harsh, it is also a knife mouth tofu heart.

Li Mu seems that this kind of tolerance is normal, after all, no matter how rich Li Mu is, it is only a success in his career, and in terms of personality, everyone is equal, so so far Li Mu, the concept of hierarchy in his heart is actually not so strong.

At least compared with everyone in this era, Li Mu's concept of hierarchy is the lightest.

For these exhibitors of the Qing Empire who came from afar, Li Mu also wanted to help as much as possible, at least so that they could feel even a trace of warmth in a foreign country, so Li Mu's plan was that when the Centennial Exhibition of Independence was over, no matter how many exhibits brought by the Qing Empire could not be sold, Li Mu would give him a direct package.

This can be barely regarded as an investment, after all, in another hundred years, these pots and pots that can be called cheap at present are considered antiques.

But it's a pity that when I put my heart on Mingyue, Mingyue always likes to shine on the ditch.

So when the two translators knew that Li Mu could speak Chinese, and it was a standard Beijing film, the expressions of the two translators were extremely exciting, they were stunned at first, then they looked weird, and finally hurriedly gave a salute and then left Li Mu and turned around and ran.

What's going on?

Why the hellish expression?

We're all yellow-skinned and black-haired, okay, why don't you look like a "ghost"?

Li Mu was confused and didn't understand why the two translators were like this.

After a while, a middle-aged man wearing a crown and an official robe came in a hurry.

Forgive Li Mu for being lonely and unheard, Li Mu really can't tell what these glass beads in the Qing Dynasty and the complements on his chest mean.

"This gentleman, slacking off." The middle-aged official's expression was also complicated, and his gaze at Li Mu unconsciously brought a bit of scrutiny.

This kind of scrutinizing gaze is actually very uncomfortable, although most of the meaning is doubt, and part of it is condescending contempt.

That's right, it's contempt.

Although Li Mu didn't want to admit it, this kind of gaze meant this.

is still the same sentence, the Chinese in this era, if there is no compelling reason, no one will leave their hometown, after all, they are cheap people who leave their hometown.

Although Li Mu is a suit and leather shoes, and they are all hand-made, they are worth a lot from head to toe, but in the eyes of many Qing people, this is not the traditional clothing of the Chinese, so no matter how bright the clothes are, they have a bit of a "foreign comprador" taste, and this position is despised by many Qing people nowadays.

"Busy with you, we're just coming to see." Since the person in front of him has a prejudice, Li Mu doesn't want to talk to this person.

To be honest, in terms of qualifications alone, I'm afraid that the Qing official in front of Li Mu is really not qualified to talk to Li Mu.

"This gentleman stays..."The Qing officials still wanted to trap Li Mu's bottom, so they naturally refused to let Li Mu slip away so easily.

Mason, who had already returned to Li Mu's side, raised his hand and blocked the way of the Qing officials with his firm eyes and door-like figure, not letting him get close to Li Mu at all.

The Qing officials were stunned to find that the bearded and powerful foreigner in front of them was actually the child's subordinate just now.

It is indeed small, although Li Mu has always wanted to pretend to be mature, after all, the age is there, people often say that there is no hair on the mouth, and the Chinese pay attention to standing at thirty, and in the eyes of many people, they are children before the age of 30.

Li Mucai didn't pay attention to what the Qing officials who were separated would think, and casually picked up a plate that seemed to be blue and white, and asked Chu Xue to identify the color.

I really have to find the first snow to identify, don't look at the first snow's age, but since I was born in the palace, it is needless to say that the things used in the palace must be high-quality, and the eyes and ears are still very good.

In fact, you have to ask Chu Xue to say 123, and Chu Xue can't say it, just like Pu Yi revisiting the Forbidden City after the founding of the People's Republic of China, seeing the furnishings in the Forbidden City, Pu Yi can find fault with it casually, such as the wrong way this vase is placed here, whether this painting is a fake or not genuine, and so on.

The expert must not be convinced, you say this is not right, why do you say that?

Pu Yi's answer is very simple, you ask me why it's wrong, and I can't tell, but this thing is different from what I used before.

Chu Xue's feeling now is similar to that of Pu Yi later, after seeing the blue and white in Li Mu's hand, Chu Xue casually glanced at it, and subconsciously pursed her lips.

Li Mu immediately threw away the blue and white flowers in his hand.

The Qing Empire did not do things authentically, the first-class products were kept for the tribute palace, the second-class products were exported to Europe, the third-class products were sold to the United States, and the fourth-class products were sold at home...

Seeing Li Mu treating the exhibits so casually, although the Qing officials were dissatisfied, they couldn't take care of Li Mu, because there was another group of people visiting at this time, and the accent was still British.

Britain in this year is not the Britain of the 21st century, the Britain of the 21st century is like an old aristocrat who has more than enough energy and is not enough, and he still follows the Americans everywhere as two devils to brush up on the sense of existence, just like a toad on the surface of people's feet, why don't you and I disgust you.

Britain in this year is the British Empire known as "the sun never sets", the nickname "the sun never sets" is really not an exaggeration at all, the territory of Britain is all over the world, and the sun will never disappear from British soil.

Almost 30 years ago, the Qing Empire, which thought that it would be able to live forever if it inherited the inheritance of the Han family, was taught to be a man by the British Empire, and now the mentality of the Qing people is like a phoenix man who has been driven out of the city, and the mentality of facing the British is like Nurhachi, who has not yet found a godfather, and he can't wait to kneel and lick all the time.

So in the face of the British, the Qing people really didn't dare to slack off, and even the translation of the officials poured up, how can that diligent person say it...

It is estimated that his father is not so thoughtful during the New Year's holidays.

There was no noise around him, Li Mu felt much more comfortable, without the slightest sense of loss, and happily walked around the stall with Chu Xue.

It really feels like going to the stalls, people are still relatively simple in these years, even if they participate in the World Expo, things are put in a pile, and there is a feeling of selling a mountain, this form is actually good, at least it looks spectacular.

In fact, there are still a lot of good things, porcelain is not eye-catching, you can look at the leather goods, the leather goods are not good, there are medicinal materials, and then there is furniture, even if it is not eye-catching, it is not bad to accompany the first snow to go shopping.

If you really have to look carefully, there are still things that can be seen, such as Chu Xue found a gold lacquer flower round box, according to Chu Xue's words, although this thing is not very good, but it can barely be used.

Lacquerware is a special product of the Qing Empire, a lacquerware from beginning to end to brush hundreds of lacquer, each piece of lacquerware can be said to be a work of art, has a good use value.

Li Mu's requirements for Chu Xue have always been obedient, because Chu Xue never made any excessive demands that made Li Mu embarrassed, so Li Mu immediately decided not to wait for the final pick-up, and bought all the lacquerware first.

"You don't need so much, just have this one..."Chu Xue was a little surprised, and at the same time a little happy.

In fact, women like Chu Xue are the happiest, she has never asked for anything, even a small gain can get the greatest satisfaction, not to mention that there is such a generous person as Li Mu around her, this is simply the best ATM that all women dream of.

"I bought it, and if we can't use it, we'll put it there." Li Mu has set up a score, and the lacquerware is practical and artistic, just like Li Mu said, it looks good without putting it.

Mason waved his hand, and someone immediately went to the staff.

"Let's go around again, don't be polite if you see any good things, let's pull them all back, so that these things don't fall into the hands of foreign devils and be buried." Li Mu hasn't enjoyed it yet, since he wants to spend money, then just spend it.

In fact, the things here are not as good as the palace, and they are barely passable, the key is that the price is cheap and sufficient, think about more than 6,800 kinds, more than 700 boxes, only 200,000 taels of silver, according to Li Mu's net worth, this is equivalent to a drop in the bucket, as long as you buy it all to make Chuxue happy, Li Mu really doesn't feel sorry for this money.

Ideas are good, but not always come true.

Li Mu and Chu Xue hadn't taken two steps when they suddenly heard someone shouting next to them.

"I said, our boss wants these things." Li Mu could hear that this was the voice of the bodyguard Mike.

"It's okay to ask for it all, but we just want to postpone the deal until after the Centennial Exhibition, or two months later."

It was another familiar voice, Li Mu looked at it, and it was Rong Hong, who had not been seen for a long time.

The last time I saw Rong Hong, it was when Li Mu first came to Springfield, 4 or 5 years have passed, and the original child has grown up, but Rong Hong is still the same as before.

It's still a little different, if you look closely, you will find that there are more wrinkles on Rong Hong's face, and there are more gray hairs, in other words, he is more haggard.

The main thing is that I am tired, you must know that the matter of "staying in the United States" was promoted by Rong Hong, but now there is such a freak as Li Mu, who is shelving, and everyone is in their hearts.

In the Qing Empire in this year, Li Mu's behavior was too big to say that he would be beheaded all over the house, and at least 3,000 li would be assigned to Ningguta to be enslaved by the armored people.

Rong Hong's meaning is actually very simple, you can buy it if you want to, anyway, we send things here to sell, and it is the same to sell to anyone, but if you want to postpone the transaction time, after all, now that the exhibition hall has been set up, the area of hundreds of lacquerware is still quite small, which will move away in one go, and what if you vacate such a large area.

Mike is really well-developed and simple-minded, of course, in other words, he is absolutely loyal to Li Mu, Li Mu is what he says, and he must do it completely without any discount, so Mike insists on pulling all the lacquerware away now.

Rong Hong is also very helpless, there is a way to show only to meet soldiers, it doesn't make sense, Rong Hong has been in the United States for a long time, and when he looks at Mike's posture, he knows that this may be the bodyguard of a wealthy man, such a person can't afford to offend under normal circumstances, so Rong Hong tried his best to explain, hoping that this matter can find a solution acceptable to both parties.

Rong Hong came with the group of British, and he didn't see Li Mu coming, so Rong Hong didn't know that Mike was Li Mu's bodyguard, otherwise it is estimated that Rong Hong would not talk nonsense with Mike at this time.

In fact, Rong Hong left a very good impression on Li Mu, as a Chinese who went abroad in his early years, Rong Hong never forgot his motherland, no matter where such a person goes, he should be respected, so Li Mu relieved Rong Hong in time.

"Forget Mike, then the deal will be done in two months." Li Mu took the initiative to take a step back, and in the past two months, it was just enough for Rong Hong and them to send someone back to the Qing Empire, and then pull a batch of lacquerware over.

"Li Mu..."Rong Hong looked at Li Mu with a complicated expression.

In fact, the mood is more complicated.

It is said that this matter should be resolved satisfactorily by now, but there are always some people who want to make trouble, and an English noticed the gold lacquer flower round box in Chu Xue's hand, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"It's so beautiful, it's a work of art, how much does this cost?" This Englishman is quite discerning, and he didn't dare to trouble Li Mu, but asked the translator around him.

"Uh, this gentleman..." Before the translator could speak, Li Mu's face immediately pulled down.

What do you mean?

Don't pay attention to buying things on a first-come, first-served basis?

Do you think this is the Old Summer Palace?
