Chapter 29: A Trip to Hong Kong Island
The old man kept taking a lot of effort to wrap the paintings that Han Chunming had worked so, some of them were closed and put aside before they were fully opened, and some of them were looked at for a while and then put aside.
Han Chunming didn't bother, poured a glass of water and put it on the side, free labor, no need to use it in vain.
This was a long time, until it was completely dark, and the two boxes of calligraphy and paintings were finally divided.
"Young man, this pile is all imitations, this pile is good, and these five calligraphy and paintings are I can't make up my mind, after all, their paintings are too few, if you really want to know the situation, I will ask my friend to show you in a few days, he works in the Palace Museum, and he has a lot more interests than me."
Han Chunming was a little hesitant, could he still know about that place? If it's a genuine painting by a famous artist, it's definitely going to be donated!
"Old man, let's do it first, it's all in my hands anyway, it's not that important whether it's true or not, let's talk about it when we have a chance."
"I know what you think, too, those of them, seeing good things is like moving to the Forbidden City, but you have to deal with a lot of calligraphy and paintings, otherwise they can't be preserved intact, I'll tell you a place, Liulichang knows, right? The first one to enter the door, the old craft, the reputation is very good. ”
Can he not know that Liulichang is not as famous as Panjiayuan in later generations, but this place has existed for a long time, and it was a gathering of masters in the past!
So Han Chunming nodded and said, "Okay, I'll bring something over when I have time." ”
In fact, there are many good things at home, but Han Chunming is a little afraid to take them out, all the things placed here are of average quality, and the real good things are placed in the courtyard on the edge of the Forbidden City, after all, there is a basement in that courtyard.
"Don't be nervous, I don't want these things from you, I'm so old, I can't take it away, I see that you have a lot of porcelain in your study, but I don't understand these things, if you really want to play, I can introduce you to a master."
"I don't need this, I know a master, he has a deep study of porcelain and other things, I learned a lot from him, but I don't know much about calligraphy and painting."
"Even, it seems that you are also a person of fate, I should have thought of it a long time ago, otherwise how could I get such a large-scale collection. Alright, it's not too early, I have to go back, let's meet again. ”
I don't know what's wrong, the old man Han Chunming I just met actually brought him home by a ghost, and showed things to others, which is not quite in line with his cautious character.
Looking at the pile of dozens of calligraphy and paintings on the table that were judged by the old man to be fakes, Han Chunming didn't have too many mood swings.
After all, even if it is an imitation, it does not mean that there is no value at all.
Rearrange it according to the classification, as for the calligraphy and paintings that were judged to be imitations, Han Chunming found another box and put it in.
As for the five controversial ones, Han Chunming directly placed them on the shelf, thinking that he would have time to find some experts and professors to identify them.
Now there are more and more things at home, looking at the bottles and cans all over the house, Han Chunming really has a headache.
Han Chunming lay flat at home for a few days, thinking about continuing to lie down, this thing is really comfortable, if it wasn't for the head teacher to find it, it is estimated that he would have been lying down like this.
"There's news, it just so happens that a friend of mine can help, go with a delegation, half a month, you can do your own activities when you get to the place, but you have to report to the team leader."
None of this is a matter for him now, as long as he can use the formal procedures, as long as he gets to the place, he has a way!
"Okay, you prepare first, leave in a week, and I'll send you the formalities when the time comes." By the way, if that book is published, remember to bring me a copy back, and also, show it to me as soon as it is written, you kid is really good, that book is really good. ”
Han Chunming didn't know how the head teacher did it, anyway, the head teacher didn't say it, and he didn't ask.
After the matter was done, Han Chunming was in a good mood.
"Teacher, I still have to trouble you to keep this matter secret, I don't want many people to know."
"Why? This is a good thing, and it will help you a lot in the future. ”
"I'm afraid of trouble, I'm afraid that when the time comes, there will be more people who know, and there will be more things, so it's better to keep a low profile."
"Okay, but let's say okay first, don't forget to bring me a copy when it's published."
Han Chunming doesn't want this to make a storm in the city, there will definitely be a lot of people flocking to it at that time, not to mention the manuscript fee, it is estimated that there are a lot of people who want to rub the heat!
Don't think that there is no heat now, it's just that the spread of information is slow, but there is no shortage of speculative people at any time.
…………
A week later, Han Chunming, who had packed his bags, came to the train station early and waited, thinking that he would get along for the next month, so he would get to know him first, but the reply to him was that it was not necessary!
Very arrogant, Han Chunming still doesn't know what these people are doing, and he thought they were on a secret mission, but if he was on a secret mission, he could stuff himself into it so easily?
I finally saw someone, but the other party just nodded, and there were too many people at the train station, so I didn't have time to say hello.
followed this group of people into the train car, which was directly a sleeper, which seemed to be not small!
Except for him, the remaining five people have been cold and silent since they got into the car.
"Hello, my name is Han Chunming, I am a student at a foreign language school, and I have trouble you this time."
After all, it came in through a relationship, and the attitude that should be there still must be there.
"Hello, I'm the team leader, the leader has already told me, you don't have to come with us when you get to the place, but let's talk about it first, you must report where you go, and don't make trouble!"
"I know, you've already told me, by the way, what are you going to do?" Han Chunming couldn't help but ask curiously.
"You don't have to worry about this, we'll be busy everywhere."
Good fellow, so mysterious, it makes me tickle in my heart.
But after all, they had just met, and Han Chunming didn't want to ask too much, so he just lay on the bed and read.
"Little brother, you can speak English, you can!"
The middle-aged man on Han Chunming's left hand side who had not spoken all this time saw the English book in Han Chunming's hand and asked curiously, after all, there are really few people in China who can understand English books in this era.
"yes, that's what I learned!"
"You're studying English, and you're graduating this year?" The middle-aged man was surprised.
"Not yet, it's still a few months."
"I'm still a top student, by the way, it's not school time, why do you want to go to Hong Kong Island?"
"It's not like I've never been there, I'm going to work after graduation, and I guess I won't have a chance to go if I want to, so I just have time to go now, and it's a long experience."
The middle-aged man nodded: "I have an idea, but that place is quite messy, you must be careful when you get to the place, we have something to do here this time, otherwise we can take you around." ”
This is a person who loves to chat, and he will talk to Han Chuming for several hours, chatting all over the world, and talking about it wherever he thinks.
When the man saw that the team leader had gone out, he hurriedly whispered:
"Let me tell you, we are here to do business, there is nothing to keep secret, but the specific situation is not good to tell you."
I really can't hide it, but Han Chunming is even more curious, doing business? Is that still the case?
"Your company is really good, you can go to Hong Kong Island, what's your name? After graduation, I'll see if I can assign it. ”
"Hehe, maybe it's really possible, Poly Group, haven't heard of it, you'll know when you come in, our company is very good!"
Good guy, Han Chunming heard this name and a storm directly blew in his mind, wouldn't it be the one he knew, but now it is not called a company except for the state unit!
Han Chunming knew in his heart that these people were in the arms business, and they were still working with certificates, so they suddenly didn't dare to inquire anymore, could this be listened to? No!
Pretending to make a big sigh, it means that I don't talk anymore, I'm sleepy!
In the following days, Han Chunming was even careful to speak, not only complaining in his heart about the middle-aged man who took his life, why did he tell him this, why did he just be so loose, this person is really not good!
After getting off the train, Han Chunming didn't talk much, although he was very familiar with this place, but this was the first time he had come to this world!
"Keep up, don't get lost, we don't have time to look for you, and ah, look at things, there are many thieves in this place."
Han Chunming nodded, although the tone of his speech was not good, his heart was good.
Han Chunming followed them with his head down.
"Look at which building, it's high, let me tell you, there are many high-rise buildings here, and ah, you must ask the price before you buy something, it's expensive!"
Han Chunming wanted to pretend to be surprised, and at the same time nodded to recover him, he was really enough, this person was so good at talking, he didn't stop talking much along the way except for sleeping!
When I arrived at the hotel, good guys, this group of people is really saving, and this group of people can find it in such a remote place, and I admire them!!
"Big brother, did you all come here to live? How do you feel so remote? ”
"This place is cheap, half cheaper than those outside, don't you know, any place costs dozens of Hong Kong dollars, how much is my monthly salary!"
"Isn't it a reimbursement?"
"It's reimbursement, but now our country's foreign exchange is not much, so we can save a little bit."
Han Chunming admired them very much.
is admiration from the bottom of his heart, and sometimes he thinks, why are these people? But I couldn't figure it out, but I still saw an answer in a book that convinced me.
"In every era, there will be a group of people who take national rejuvenation as their term!"
Han Chunming took out the money, Hong Kong dollars, which is his own room fee, and the captain of the team leader was not polite, so he took it directly, and the funds were all counted, and more was used here, and some should be saved in other places.
"By the way, will you come with us for dinner? If we pay for the food together, we basically cook by ourselves. ”
Han Chuming shook his head: "No need, it's not easy to come here, I plan to experience the food here." ”
Han Chunming took the basin to the bathroom, the weather was too hot, and it was really uncomfortable to toss all the way.
"What kind of road does this kid have, he is not short of money at a glance!"
"Who knows, the leader didn't say anything, he just said that he could take care of it as much as he could, and that is, he must be brought back!"
"I guess I don't know the price here, think about the first time we came, grandma's, almost scared back by that price."
"But I don't think this kid looks like he wants to run, you see, except for being surprised at first, he wasn't excited at all!"
"Whatever, let's get things done first."
The next thing is easy to do, first I inquired about the branch of the British local publishing house here, but he wrote in American English, and he may have to revise it when the time comes, but these are small things!
Han Chunming is very sure that this book will be an instant hit, but it must be published first!!
In fact, Han Chunming had already noticed it, although he had planned to publish it directly in the United States before, but he couldn't help but inquire.
There was already some news, and it was a lot easier to find, and early in the morning of the third day, Han Chunming was already standing at the door of the publishing house.
It's just an office, after all, it's still a British colony, and there are still quite a few people who know English.
It may be that the newspaper office over there is not accustomed to the water and soil here, and the few people in the office are drinking coffee idly, and they don't notice that Han Chunming has come in.
I thought that the blonde and blue-eyed foreigner was going on inside, but how did he know that a room full of compatriots......
"Is the editor-in-chief here?" Han Chuming saw that no one was paying attention to him, so the lord asked out loud.
"Who are you? Is there something going on with the editor-in-chief? ”
"Well, I have a book I want to publish, and I want to ask the editor-in-chief to see it."
"Put it here, leave an address, and we'll write to you if we can."
Arrogant! This was Han Chunming's first feeling, and he told Han Chunming that he hadn't gotten up from the chair until now!
But when the person was under the eaves, this was not the time to pretend to be forced, so he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed it into the hand of the person who was talking to Han Chunming without a trace.
"Help, English, I'm in a hurry, help me introduce it!!"
Han Chunming didn't pick the door on this, he bought all good cigarettes, the kind that was very faced!
"Okay, you can come with me, but I can't guarantee the result, it depends on your quality."
After saying that, he really got up and led him inside, and came to the door of an office.
"Editor-in-chief, an author met you, and he brought an English book for you to see."
"Come in."
The Chinese language is a little lame, but Han Chunming still hears it.
After entering the door, Han Chunming really didn't want to listen to guess what he said, so he communicated with him directly in English. And put the first episode manuscript in front of him.
It may be that Han Chunming's English gave him extra points, and the editor-in-chief took the manuscript and put on his glasses directly and began to read it seriously.
This reading is two hours, Han Chunming really can't help it, if he finishes reading it, when will it be!
"Editor-in-chief, how's my writing?"
