Chapter 101: The Shen Family
Cannes, East Lake Mansion.
East Lake is a man-made lake located in the center of Cannes, the core component of East Lake Park, although it is not very large, but it has a long history, and the large trees planted around the lakeshore are decades old, lush and neat and beautiful.
More than a dozen water pavilions are scattered along the woods along the lake, one of which is a large antique style building is particularly eye-catching, the pink wall and tile eaves are warped, hidden in the mist and rain, inside and outside the unique charm of the south of the Yangtze River.
As a native of Cannes, Jiang Hailiu has been famous for the East Lake Mansion for a long time, and has been to East Lake Park more than once, but it is the first time to step into this famous ancient building and get a glimpse of its true face.
The East Lake Mansion is not owned by the state, but the private property of the Shen family in Cannes, and when the East Lake Park was not built, it was already standing on this land as the old residence of the Shen family.
Now the Shen family has long since moved out of this mansion, but the East Lake Mansion has not been opened to the public, but has become a place for private gatherings.
"Today's master is Shen Haoran, the real person in our Cannes collection world..."
When he walked into the East Lake Mansion, Boss Jia introduced to Jiang Hailiu: "Shen Haoran is the Shen family, so this is his home field, and the content of this exhibition is mainly porcelain. ”
On the way here, Boss Jia told Jiang Hailiu about some situations and rules in their circle.
Boss Jia's circle has a name, called the Cannes Collectors Association, although it is a complete non-governmental organization, but the members of the association are all figures in the circle.
To put it in the simplest way, it is that the members of the association must first own a collection worth more than 50 million, otherwise they will not be able to step into the threshold at all.
Shen Haoran, who held a collection exchange meeting in the East Lake Mansion today, is a descendant of the Shen family's long house, he has an indifferent personality and does not like to fight, but he has a soft spot for antiques and antiques, coupled with the background of the Shen family, so he is famous in the entire collection circle of Daxia.
So as soon as his invitation came out, everyone in the entire Cannes circle who received the invitation came.
Jiang Hailiu was very lucky, because Boss Jia also got an invitation, and according to the rules, the latter could bring a relative or friend to participate.
The East Lake Mansion is divided into four entrances, covering an area of nearly ten acres, in the bustling city center of Cannes, where every inch of land is valuable, the value of this land alone can make people mad.
The red lantern is hung high, and when you enter the vermilion lacquer gate, the first thing you see is the spacious and quiet front yard, and then the two of them are guided by a beautiful woman in traditional Hanfu to step through the long corridor to the inner hall.
The inner hall is more magnificent, with an area of more than 200 square meters, and the lights are brilliant VIPs, or sit opposite each other to taste and chat, or enjoy the collections on the shelves, a noisy but not noisy scene.
And the most attractive is undoubtedly the porcelain that rests on the sandalwood shelf, white porcelain, black porcelain, celadon and colored porcelain, which shines with the brilliance of the years under the reflection of the light, and each piece is thrillingly beautiful.
Unlike museums, these valuable porcelain collections are not protected by bulletproof glass, but are placed there for guests to play with and admire, showing the grandeur of the main home.
When he stepped into the inner hall, Boss Jia quietly observed Jiang Hailiu.
Now in some circles in Cannes, Jiang Hailiu, who is only 18 years old, is already quite a prestigious figure.
No one dared to underestimate this student who was still in his third year of high school, Jiang Hailiu's amazing talent and strength in martial arts were talked about by many people, including his battles in the Martial Arts Hall.
Many people believe that Jiang Hailiu's strength has reached the hegemonic level, and he is not inferior to any Wumeng Tianjiao, and it is very likely that he will become an extraordinary person in the future, or a leader among the transcendental!
Since Jiang Hailiu was still a nobody in Cannes a month or two ago, his birth inevitably attracted a lot of attention, as well as the investigation of some well-intentioned people.
Jiang Hailiu's true identity was also quickly found out, so even Boss Jia knew that he was from an ordinary family, his mother was the third middle school in Cannes, his father was a civil servant in the street office, and the eldest sister and second sister were still in college, and there was nothing special about it.
But it was such a young man from an ordinary family who defeated many martial arts alliance mentors and the hegemonic superpowers who came to challenge him in a row, forcing Lu Shan, the branch chairman of the Kangcheng Martial Arts League, to resign automatically, and did a big thing of turning his hands over and covering the clouds.
If Boss Jia is not curious about Jiang Hailiu, it must be fake!
He wanted to see how this magical boy would behave on such an occasion.
Excited, excited, apprehensive, or timid?
You must know that some of the guests who came here tonight are high-level government officials, some are members of big clans, and even more wealthy businessmen and wealthy people.
Ordinary people rashly break into this circle that does not belong to them at all, and I am afraid that they don't know where to put their hands and feet.
However, Jiang Hailiu not only did not feel the slightest cramped embarrassment, his expression was calm and calm, and he felt like he had come to an ordinary occasion, so calm that Boss Jia felt a little depressed.
How about giving some face!
Boss Jia can completely see that Jiang Hailiu's composure is definitely not pretended, it is more like the kind of naturalness that he is used to seeing big scenes, and even a little disdain.
In fact, Boss Jia doesn't know the true identity of Jiang Hailiu, Jiang Hailiu is reincarnated in the ninth generation, the Jinluan Palace has been three times, the ancient sages, princes and generals, and those characters who have been recorded in the history books have bowed their heads to him.
How can such a scene stop the rivers and seas?
Ten times bigger!
"Boss Jia, it's been a long time..."
At this time, a middle-aged man in a white Confucian shirt walked over and said to Boss Jia with a smile: "You still have the same demeanor!"
This middle-aged man looks like he is in his forties, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a firm nose, a Chinese face, a wide forehead, a loud voice, and bright eyes.
The clothes he wore were quite special, the kind of antique gown, cut to fit perfectly, standing in the middle of a group of guests in suits and leather shoes, but it was not the slightest abrupt, but gave people a sense of elegance.
Seeing the visitor, Boss Jia hurriedly bowed: "Brother Haoran, how are you doing?"
The other party is the main family of this exchange meeting, Shen Haoran, the descendant of the Shen family in Kangcheng, and the big collector!
Shen Haoran laughed and said, "I'm fine, I don't know what treasure you brought to communicate this time, Boss Jia, can you let me open my eyes first?"
This son of the Shen family does not have the arrogance and reserve of the people in the big clan, and he feels very atmospheric and bold, and the same words may be impolite when he comes out of others' mouths, but he says it extremely brightly.
Exchanges such as this evening are held once or twice a month at the Cannes Collectors Association, in different homes and locations, and are mainly based on the exchange of collections between members of the association.
As the so-called golden antiques in troubled times, Daxia has been established for more than 300 years, and now it is the era of national strength, the collection fever continues to grow, and the members of the association are increasing year by year.
The value of the real high-quality antiques and antiques is naturally rising, and it is entirely possible that the price of the same object will be several times different from that of this year, so the exchange of collections within the association is basically barter, and it is rarely purchased directly - people may not be willing to ask for cash.
Therefore, most of the collectors who were invited to come tonight brought their collections.
Regarding Shen Haoran's inquiry, Boss Jia said with a smile: "I just brought a few pieces of Hanyu, which is not a treasure, I am afraid that it will be laughing and generous, Brother Haoran can see it at any time, I will introduce you to a friend first." ”
Shen Haoran's gaze immediately fell on Jiang Hailiu, who was standing beside Boss Jia: "Who is this?"
Boss Jia introduced: "This is Mr. Jiang Hailiujiang, the full-time mentor of the Kangcheng Wumeng. ”
Boss Jia's introduction to Jiang Hailiu was undoubtedly formal and grand, and he did not put him in the position of the younger generation because of Jiang Hailiu's age, showing his seriousness and respect.
Shen Haoran suddenly became a lot more serious, and took the initiative to salute Jiang Hailiu with his fists: "It turns out..."
"It's you!"
Before he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from next to him to gnash his teeth!
