Chapter 109: The Two Ladies of the Kong Family
Zhang Daqian, Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong...... Although the works of the three of them are not priceless in later generations, they are definitely treasures among treasures. Especially as the years go by, it becomes more and more precious. Qin Wei even rented a house at the beginning, so he naturally didn't dare to think about these things. Occasionally turn on the TV to see what "Treasure Hunting" and "Treasure Appreciation", and always fantasize that one day a bargain I bought has become an antique, and I dare not ask for too much value, 1.8 million is enough. It's a pity, not to mention that with the increase of social wealth, more and more people have begun to put their hands into the antique industry, and the leakage that can be picked up in the world is almost negligible. He can't expect his computer to become valuable one day, right? That thing went down pretty quickly.
Therefore, when he suddenly realized that he had the opportunity to make friends with these cultural masters of the Republic of China, some of his thoughts couldn't help jumping out. I don't dare to say that I will sell it now, and leave it to my children and grandchildren that is an heirloom. Well, although according to Gu Changjun's relay, his children and grandchildren don't seem to need to sell their heirlooms to live, but even if it is a rich family, if there are no valuable objects to put there, don't you always feel that something is missing?
And from this, he suddenly thought of the "Pingfu Post" and "Five Bull Pictures" mentioned by Gu Changjun, he had never heard of these two works, but since they were specifically mentioned by Gu Changjun, and they were intended to be used to pay off the huge debt of up to 5 billion, they must be worth a lot of money. So, he immediately seized the opportunity to ask a few people in front of him.
……
""Pingfu Post" and "Five Cow Pictures"?" Unexpectedly, Zhou Tian, who seems to be an encyclopedia, also had no idea about these two works, but Zheng Jiemin was taken aback after hearing his question: "How did you think of these two treasures?" Do you want? ”
"No, no, no, I'm just asking." Qin Wei hurriedly waved his hand. Joke! If he nodded, he would dare to grab the goods in front of him...... If it wasn't a good person, it wouldn't be enough, but if it was an innocent person. Didn't he add a sin to nothing? "I just heard that it is very precious and is a national treasure, so I am a little curious."
"That's a national treasure!" Zheng Jiemin sighed, "But it's a pity, even if you want it, I'm afraid we won't be able to get it." ”
"What do you mean?"
"These two treasures are now in Zhang Boju's hands."
"Zhang Boju?"
"I've heard of it." Zhou Tian interjected again, "One of the four sons of the Republic of China!" ”
"The fourth son of the Republic of China?" Qin Wei thought for a while: "I often hear people mention Ming'er, but except for one Zhang Xueliang, I don't know anything about anyone else. ”
"Except for Zhang Boju, the other three. One is Pu Yi's brother Pu Dong, the other is Yuan Shikai's second son Yuan Kewen, and of course, the other is Zhang Xueliang. At that time, these four people were not doing their jobs, and they were all from prominent families. So some good people got them together and got them called it that way. Zheng Jiemin smiled. But compared to the three of them. This Boju is also an anomaly. ”
"What's the outlier method?" Qin Wei asked.
"Writer of great knowledge, keen collector! Where there are treasures, they will be bought with all their hearts. The "Pingfu Post" you just mentioned is that he spent 40,000 oceans to buy it from Puru in Beiping, and he almost wanted to go bankrupt. And this is just one of his many collections. Not to mention a penny, but it's not much the same. ”
"I see." Qin Wei smacked his lips, "Then you say, can I spend another amount of money to buy this work back from him?" ”
"Unlikely." Zheng Jiemin shook his head directly. "It's in Zhang Boju's hand, you still want to take it back, don't dream. He has never been the only one who buys from others, and I have never heard of anyone who can buy anything from him. ”
"That's a shame." Qin Wei sighed. It seems that Gu Changjun's dream can only go on like this.
“……”
Seeing that Qin Wei was no longer entangled in any celebrity calligraphy and painting, Zheng Jiemin also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he wrote down Qin Wei's "hobby", it was true that antiques were not easy to get. It's all in someone's collection. And in this troubled era, how many people can collect antique calligraphy and paintings? What's more, Qin Wei's appetite is still so big, and he wants "Pingfu Post" when he comes up...... It is the earliest calligraphy post in China, and it is said that it is also the first piece of ink in the whole world to circulate in an orderly manner, known as the "ancestor of the law". Back then, if Zhang Boju hadn't been because of his good name, he never bought and sold cultural relics, and invited Zhang Daqian to come forward to make peace, plus he happened to meet Fu Ru's bereaved mother, and he urgently needed money to mourn, so he didn't want to buy it with 40,000 oceans. And now, that thing is in the hands of Zhang Boju, a guy who loves to collect, so don't even want to get it out. As for the robbery...... Zhang Boju can be called the fourth son of the Republic of China with Zhang Xueliang, how simple is his background? What's more, that guy has a large group of friends, and he is a famous calligrapher and painter, and he has a great reputation in the cultural and artistic circles.
But then again, if you can't get a national treasure-level treasure like "Pingfu Post", it's not impossible to get something else. Zheng Jiemin consciously caught one of Qin Wei's hobbies, and he was finally able to get a little bit of the bottom of this guy, and his heart was a little more steady. Thinking of the true purpose of his coming, he gave Shen Zui and Zhou Tian a look.
"Sir, you and Director Zheng will chat first, and we will go out to work first."
Seeing Zheng Jiemin's eyes, Shen Zui and Zhou Tian immediately got up and said goodbye, as for what they were doing when they went out, God knows what kind of work they could do in the Bai Mansion besides monitoring Qin Wei. And Mao Wanli, when he heard that Mao Renfeng was going to the Special Political Research Office, he went to call his brother early.
"I know that you won't just come to deliver invitations, let's say, what's the matter?" Qin Wei looked at the backs of the two of them leaving and shook his head. As soon as Zheng Jiemin came, he knew that there would be something going on in the road, and if this guy usually met him, he would go around the road. How can you even take the initiative to send an invitation?
"I didn't intend to hide it from you." Zheng Jiemin smiled bitterly, "I heard that you plan to engage in oil exploration with Chen Jiageng and those Nanyang businessmen?" ”
"Yes, I have the intention of doing so." Qin Wei nodded, "What, Chairman Jiang asked you to ask?" ”
"Not the chairman." Zheng Jiemin shook his head, "It's me." ”
"You?"
"Yes."
"You...... Want to get a hand in the meantime? Qin Wei tilted his head and stared at him, his eyes full of suspicion.
"What kind of eyes are you? Can't I just do some business? Zheng Jiemin was very uncomfortable and couldn't help but say.
"It's not that I look down on you. Lao Zheng, you said that you are a dignified general of the national army...... Aren't you afraid of the infamy of collusion between officials and businessmen if you engage in this set? Qin Wei asked with a smile.
"Collusion between officials and businessmen?" Zheng Jiemin pursed his lips disdainfully, "What businessman doesn't want to collude with officials these days?" Who doesn't want to find a few businessmen to be their money bags? Anyway, I, Zheng someone, am not the first person to want to do this kind of thing, and I certainly won't be the last one. ”
"I believe it." Qin Wei nodded slightly, "But what you said so grandiosely, I still feel that something is wrong." And, do you have money? This is oil exploitation, without a large amount of capital investment, you don't even think about buying shares. ”
"It's not a lot of money. But 100,200,000 oceans can still be scrapped. Zheng Jiemin hesitated, but still said a number.
"One hundred and twenty thousand oceans? That's all? Qin Wei glanced at him mockingly, "I heard that your family's servants and cooks are all paid in the army, so they don't have any expenses." Your wife often runs to get things, why is there only so little money? ”
"You investigate me?" Zheng Jiemin was a little embarrassed. This kind of thing was exposed to someone's face. Even if he is thick-skinned, it is impossible for him to remain indifferent. What's more, his face is quite "thin". Otherwise, he wouldn't have let his wife take advantage of the country on his behalf.
"Do you still need to investigate this? Just go to the Hunan Hall and take a turn. The military commanders, who doesn't know how powerful Mrs. Zheng is? Qin Wei said with a smile.
"Okay, you don't have to ridicule me, I'm not the only one doing this kind of thing." Zheng Jiemin waved his hand, "You can give me a good word, can I buy shares?" ”
"Not enough!" Qin Weidao. "And have you thought about it, what will you think if your stake in Indonesia's oil exploitation is known to your Chairman Jiang? You know, Chairman Chiang has never talked to me about this. ”
"I know this. But since the chairman didn't look for you. I'm afraid I don't mean to join forces with you. Zheng Jiemin thought for a while, "Besides, it's not my intention to buy shares alone. ”
"Oh?" Qin Wei was stunned for a moment, then tilted his head, leaned back against the sofa and thought about it, before he spit out a name with a little hesitation: "Dai Li?" ”
"That's right." Zheng Jiemin did not deny it, "The matter of your cooperation with Tan Kah Kee was reported to the chairman of the committee by our prophet. The chairman of the committee will definitely not leak the news casually, so far, only you, us, and a limited number of people who know the news have been known about it. And since I know all the ways, Boss Dai naturally knows it. I am not in the same line with you after all, without the nod of Boss Dai, how dare I take the initiative to come over to seek cooperation. ”
"I'll just say that there are not many good people among you who are officials." Qin Wei sighed, "I can't do some business if I want to." ”
"Nanyang is not a paradise for Chinese. Although Tan Kah Kee and his gang have money, they want to develop oil there...... There's no real background, so don't even think about it. Zheng Jiemin rubbed his palms lightly, "But it's different with us joining." Although it was a foreign country, the name 'military commander' always made people jealous. ”
"Then why don't I just go to the British to cooperate? Wouldn't the British make the natives there more fearful? Qin Wei said with a smile.
"If the British are to join in, they will probably want more than just a few of us. What's more, you looked for the British before, but those guys don't seem to take you Chief Qin seriously, right? Zheng Jiemin also said with a smile.
"Then I'm ......"
"Sir!"
Qin Wei wanted to refute, but at this moment, Zhou Tian suddenly broke in again.
"What's the matter?" Zheng Jiemin was a little displeased, "Didn't you see that I was discussing things with your chief?" ”
"Director Zheng, a guest has arrived." Zhou Tian hurriedly replied, and then added: "It's the two young ladies of the Kong family!" ”
