After nearly a month of live broadcast, "Chinese Restaurant" has become the most popular variety show at the moment, with nearly 10 million people watching the live broadcast every day.

The number of broadcasts of the feature film of the program is also more than 50 million per issue, and the number of broadcasts of the second episode even reached 80 million.

The variety of exquisite dishes in the show has become the spiritual food for many people, and every time there is a live broadcast, they will wait in front of the screen and enjoy the various delicacies presented in the show.

But in addition to the general audience of the show, there are also some people who are paying attention to this show.

In a community in Yuquan Mountain, Cai Yi, Geng Wanhua and Guan Xue were accompanying an old man with gray hair and wrinkles to watch the live broadcast of "Chinese Restaurant" on the TV screen.

In front of the old man, Cai Yi and Geng Wanhua were both very respectful, only the snow was relatively relaxed, and they were smiling and answering questions to the old man.

The old man had a smile on his face, raised his hand to point to the screen, and said to Guan Xue beside him: "Your grandfather started by selling cosmetics back then, and at that time, our invincible brand was also a well-known national brand in China.

When your grandfather was young, Western cosmetics were popular, and the most famous one at that time was Danqi lipstick, which sold well in Laoshang Beach.

There are also Simon's Powder Honey, Xia Shilian Snowflake, Stankang Hair Cream, Paris Suran Cream, Bacon Shampoo Balm Water, and Lux Soap, all of which are in demand.

Your grandfather thought it was a good business opportunity, so he partnered with someone and made some chilblain cream to sell, but it didn't sell well.

Later, just boycotting foreign goods, domestic products began to rise, and Grandpa Ling began to transform and made the first domestic tooth powder brand, becoming the largest tooth powder manufacturer in China at that time.

The main raw materials of soda lime tooth powder are imported, and your grandfather began to study chemistry again, founded a magnesium factory, and a mint factory, and made some money.

Relying on the small amount of money from selling tooth powder, your grandfather began to expand his business, began to make cosmetics, made sircold cream and butterfly cream, and exported them abroad, so that he really began to make money.

Although your grandfather later opened a soda factory, a glass factory, and a paper factory, the most profitable business was still the sirling cream and butterfly cream.

Looking back now, our family's family is all earned by Western Cold Cream and Butterfly Frost! ”

Guan Xue nodded and sighed: "Grandpa died young, otherwise how happy would he be to see you being better than blue?" ”

"I'm not a blueman."

The old man shook his head and sighed: "Your grandfather and his generation of entrepreneurs are all big-minded and ambitious, they are not all about making money, they want to prove that Chinese people are no worse than foreigners."

It's different in my generation, the war is over, and the family business is gone.

The reason why I was able to make a fortune was all due to good luck, and when I got to a good day, I took a ride, and I had relatives overseas to help me. ”

"A generation has the advantage of a generation!"

Guan Xue smiled and comforted him.

"Advantage..."

The old man's expression became complicated, and he shook his head and sighed: "My advantage is that I can be a loser, right?" If I could go back to back then, I would never have sold that big lid jar..."

Hearing this, Guan Xue hurriedly coughed, cleared her throat, and looked back at Cai Yi and Geng Wanhua.

Cai Yi and Geng Wanhua looked away, pretending not to hear clearly, but they all knew which big-lid jar the old man was talking about.

The big lid jar, the full name is cloisonne dragon pattern big lid jar, and there are two repeated styles inside and outside along the mouth of the jar.

Not only is there an inscription on the rim of the jar, but it is also engraved again inside the jar.

This is to show that this jar is an exclusive utensil of Emperor Xuande of the Ming Dynasty.

This jar is a very rare black color in cloisonne, with strong contrast, fierce dragon pattern, strong relaxation and momentum, which can be called the pinnacle of cloisonne craftsmanship in the Ming Dynasty.

Both Cai Yi and Geng Wanhua have seen the jar, and it is now in the collection of the Great Eagle Museum in Lengdun.

And this jar was sold by Lao Guan back then.

The money from the sale also became the initial capital for Lao Guan's business, and finally achieved Lao Guan's business empire.

This is not a secret in the circle, the reason why Lao Guan has been buying cultural relics abroad and donating them to Gu Bo all these years is because of this incident, he feels guilty, so he has been trying to make up for it.

Seeing that he mentioned this matter again, Guan Xue also took the opportunity to look at Li Yi in the live broadcast screen, lowered her voice and smiled: "Dad, I know that this matter has always been a thorn in your heart, and this set of longevity bowls may be that God didn't want to see you torture yourself so much, so he specially sent it to you."

You sold a jar back then, and this time you donated a set of bowls, you should be able to make up for it, right? ”

Listening to her words, Lao Guan didn't speak, but it could be seen from his clenched thin fingers that his mood was very complicated.

This incident has indeed been a thorn in his heart, and he has never shied away from it.

Over the years, he has been buying back artifacts at overseas auctions, also to offset some of his guilt.

It is true that when Guan Xue first brought him the news of this set of bowls, he was also very excited.

This set of bowls is about the same level as the one he sold back then, or even slightly higher.

But after the excitement had passed, he regained his composure.

Although at first glance, this set of bowls is indeed suitable for removing his heart disease.

But if you think about it, it's a little off.

First of all, the biggest problem is that this set of bowls is privately owned by a domestic collector, and even if it is sold to him, it is equivalent to turning his left hand into his right hand, wandering around his own home, and never going out.

But that big pot was sold abroad by him, and the proper fertilizer water flowed into the fields of outsiders.

Secondly, the price offered by this collector is also a bit high.

The price of 200 million is very reasonable, and it is even cheap, but 200 million in cash, even if it is him, it is a little painful to take it out.

Although 200 million is not much for him, a rich man like him generally does not leave too much liquidity on his books, and most of them will purchase high-quality assets.

If you force yourself to scrape together cash, you will definitely lose a lot of profits.

The lost profit is equal to the less money earned.

Less money is equivalent to a loss.

In this way, he has to lose a lot of money inside and out.

If this set of bowls is in the hands of a foreigner, he will definitely not hesitate, let alone 200 million, 400 million, he will not hesitate to take it directly.

But it's in the hands of domestic collectors, which is a bit tricky.

Ever since he learned about it, he had been thinking about it, thinking about it, and he couldn't make up his mind.

Guan Xue saw that it was about to reach the time agreed with Li Yi, and she was also a little anxious, so she mentioned it to him again.

After hesitating for a while, Lao Guan spoke: "You made an appointment with this child to meet next month, right?" ”

Guan Xue looked back at Cai Yi and Geng Wanhua, nodded and asked, "Then I will arrange for him to meet with you?" ”

Lao Guan was noncommittal, and advised: "Be polite, people have the ability, don't offend." ”
