Chapter 378: He Really Believes in Buddhism Too Much
One hundred million, one hundred million, you can't spend it in a lifetime.
Zhang Yang lay on the bed, and Master Wang's words echoed in his ears:
"Although 100 million sounds like a lot, if you are familiar with the grass and trees of the Hailin Museum, you should know that this is definitely not a high price, and it is even sold cheaply."
"If you can't come up with so much money at once, you can actually partner with someone, as long as you can guarantee the right to speak."
"As a major shareholder, I will always support you."
Master Wang has said everything about this, Zhang Yang is at a loss in his heart, and he has to promise to try it.
After all, he had been working the museum for several months, and he really couldn't give up.
Isn't it just a billion?
Try to make it up.
If you really can't make it up, think of a way to get out.
Zhang Yang first looked at the balance of his bank card, and the four cards combined amounted to more than 41 million.
More than half of it is the hard-earned money he earned from holding auctions, and in just a few months, he flew all over the country, and the live broadcast almost never stopped, and he didn't take much vacation.
The rest is fished from foreign exchange earning porcelain and jadeite.
Fortunately, he was not in a hurry to buy a big villa, and finally saved some money.
60 million remaining......
Zhang Yang looked at the collection in his room, the most valuable treasure, the hundreds of thousands of foreign exchange porcelain, put on the eye-catching.
Something with a price but no market, not a special auction, cannot be sold at all.
The rest of the precious treasures are stored in the Hailin Museum, including the million-level porcelain plate painting.
But even if you count all of those, for the remaining 60 million big holes, it is a small pebble, and it can't be plugged at all.
Going to borrow money?
Zhang Yang inevitably thought of this method.
There is still half a month left for the New Year, and in addition to robbing the bank, borrowing money is the fastest and most effective way.
Who to borrow?
Chen Yanguang is the first candidate that Zhang Yang thought of, the image of the first big brother with money is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the gold content of the top rich second generation.
But it was quickly ruled out.
First of all, Chen Yanguang is no longer Daddy Chen's big number, and his family's business is now completely taken care of by his younger brother.
Secondly, Chen Yanguang and Cheng Shihui are now one, and Zhang Yang is the one who sent the old man of the Cheng family to prison after all.
No matter how much Cheng Erye and his daughter don't mind, the relationship between blood is thicker than water is there, Zhang Yang and them are still only suitable for friends and business, and not for speaking directly.
Unless it becomes a partner in the end, Zhang Yang will not consider Chen Yanguang.
He thought about it for a long time, and finally chose to open this mouth with Chu Zhenmin.
Because the Xiao Chu family is really rich, when Director Chu carried out the original capital accumulation, even if it was a later big man like Ma Weidu, he was still at the children's table.
Moreover, the Chu family knows the root of Zhang Yang, and there is basic trust there.
"How much to borrow?"
"What? Sixty million? ”
When Director Chu heard Zhang Yang's words on the phone, he was so frightened that the mahjong in his hand was not held steady, and he shivered and smashed directly on the mahjong table.
"Lao Chu, do you fight 50,000?" Friend A asked incredulously.
"No, no, no, I made a mistake."
"Eh, I have no regrets." Friend B picked up the 50,000 on the table and slapped it in front of him, "Catch all five kui, eight." ”
"I'll give you 800 yuan!"
"Ahem, ahem, ahem." Chu Zhenmin coughed violently.
Zhang Yang didn't expect such a big reaction from the other party, it seems that the landlord's family has no surplus grain.
"Director Chu, are you okay? If it's inconvenient, forget it. ”
"What do you mean? Isn't it sixty million and eight hundred? Chu Zhenmin counted the 800 yuan he had just lost on Zhang Yang.
"Borrow, must borrow!"
"But Xiao Zhang, I really don't have so much cash on hand, you see I borrowed you an antique, how about you sell it?"
"This ...... It's a little harder to get it now. "Zhang Yang is a little embarrassed.
It stands to reason that he is a borrower, and there is really no room for bargaining.
But this time of January is so special.
The autumn auction in December has just ended, and the spring auction in March is still far away, just stuck in the middle.
"Then I can't do that much. Otherwise, I will discuss with Master Wang and the others, and you will talk about the museum transaction when spring begins tomorrow. ”
"Lao Wang, I can still talk."
"You come to my side first and take the things away." Chu Zhenmin suggested.
Zhang Yang thought about it, and it seemed to be okay.
Let's take a look at things first.
If it's really a good thing, you don't have to wait until the spring auction, contact Christie's Zhou Baotan directly, and ask him to ask in Christie's member group to see if anyone is interested in collecting antiques and trade directly in Linhai.
This is very good, just enough to send Shen Shuyu back to Yanjing.
Kill two birds with one stone.
"Okay, then I'll come to Yanjing to find you in a few days."
"Okay, okay, tell me in advance, I'll let Xiao Chu pick you up. I'm playing mahjong now, so I won't make small talk with you. ”
After speaking, Chu Zhenmin hung up Zhang Yang's phone directly.
Then he raised his head and looked at the three card players and asked, "Who were you just now, who did you fool me with 50,000?" ”
……
Four days later, Zhang Yang and Shen Shuyu landed at Daxing Airport.
Teacher Ma and Chu Ziqiang both came to pick up the plane, and the couple could only separate in advance at the airport.
"Brother Yang, why did you suddenly come to Yanjing? You can't just come here to send your girlfriend, right? Chu Ziqiang asked blindly while driving.
"Why did I come, didn't your second uncle tell you?"
"No, as soon as I got home in the morning, he told me that you would arrive in the afternoon, and asked me to come to the airport to pick you up."
"Do you say that he is a little lacking in morality, and if he said that I wouldn't go back, wouldn't he just wait for you at the airport?" Chu Ziqiang complained.
"Eh, your second uncle must have a reason for doing this."
"Let's be juniors, but we don't want to chew the root of our tongue behind our backs." Zhang Yang secretly defended a wave of his future creditors.
"Brother Yang, why are you not real at all, is it love that has changed you?"
"Okay, don't be poor, then again, why did you and Xiaoyue go to the ravine? It took so long to come back. ”
"I called you before, but I couldn't reach you."
"Hey, I went to Bashu." Chu Ziqiang explained.
"Do you know that the coffin is hanging? We're just going to look for the hanging coffin. ”
"Oh, Yibin over there."
Of course, Zhang Yang knew that the servant's hanging coffin was a national key cultural relics protection unit, and he, a cultural preservation expert, must know.
"Brother Yang, have you been there too?"
"Do you want to go, is there any problem over there?" Zhang Yang asked curiously.
In his impression, the cliffs with hanging coffins should have been protected, and they are the kind of cameras that stand up, as long as the power is not interrupted, there will be no problem.
"That's outrageous......"
While waiting for the traffic light, Xiao Chu briefly explained what happened.
Half a month ago, a researcher from the local county cultural relics bureau bought a slightly damaged blue and white bowl at the farmers' market, which was identified as blue and white porcelain from the early Ming Dynasty.
In 2024, you can buy complete blue and white porcelain of the Ming Dynasty at the farmers' market, which can basically be equated with the "discovery of tomb robbery".
Soon, they found the old man who sold blue and white porcelain.
After inquiry, the information was that the old man had been picked up from a wooden coffin in a cave in the mountains.
This is very reminiscent of a servant's hanging coffin.
Although the name is "hanging coffin", in fact, some of the coffins of servants are placed in caves, buried by grass, very hidden, and difficult to find.
Moreover, when the development of the servants was the strongest, it was precisely in the Ming Dynasty, when there were hundreds of cottages at the peak (they were destroyed in the Wanli period).
According to the accidental discovery of the previous cultural relics department when repairing the hanging coffin, the main funerary goods in the hanging coffin are blue and white porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, and occasionally some iron knives, silk and linen fabrics and the like.
"What's the most outrageous, Brother Yang, do you know?"
"It was a few of us who were ordered to assist in the investigation, and then the local staff told us that the old man who sold blue and white porcelain was lost."
"Four or five young men followed an old man to the mountains to look for a hanging coffin, but they were thrown off directly."
"The locals took us to the old man's house to look for it, but I didn't expect that the family was originally a widower, living alone, and the gate was covered with cobwebs, and he never went back at all."
"In the end, several of our archaeological team members, as well as the local search and rescue team, worked in vain in the mountains for a week and found nothing."
"If it hadn't snowed, we wouldn't have known when we would have found it."
"What about the blue and white porcelain?" Zhang Yang asked.
Such a bizarre story, of course he was interested.
As long as he could see the blue and white porcelain bowl, Zhang Yang was confident that he could confirm whether it was really taken out of the hanging coffin.
Perhaps, that old man was just lying to Xiao Chu and them.
"I don't know, I said I should look for you."
"But the people from the local cultural relics bureau are so proud, as soon as they heard that I was going to find experts from the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, they all said that my approach did not conform to the procedures, and if I wanted to go up, I would also find experts from the province." Chu Ziqiang said depressedly.
"I know why, they must have confused the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and the National Museum, thinking that they are the same."
"Brother Yang, if you say that, I understand." Xiao Chu nodded suddenly in realization, "That's really not to blame them." ”
……
When I arrived at Chu's house, Director Chu was playing mahjong again.
This kind of happy and relaxed retirement life makes Zhang Yang envious.
"Will Xiao Zhang be?" Director Chu's card friend asked Zhang Yang.
"I can't play Yanjing's mahjong, I usually play the leper field, and the whiteboard can be used as the kind of cards for everything."
"I'm going? That's too perverted, isn't it? Chu Zhenmin thought about it and said with a shocked face.
"It's very perverted, but for young people, the more perverted it is, the more exciting it is." Xiao Chu replied with a lot of understanding.
Zhang Yang watched Chu Zhenmin being caught by three card friends in turn, and thought that Lao Chu was playing cards with the leader, and looked at the other three people at the table in surprise.
waited until Chu Zhenmin lost all the tickets in front of him, only to find out that he was a real dish.
"Okay, Zhang Yang, you owe me sixty million and two thousand three now."
"Huh? I lost playing mahjong just now. ”
"No, it can't be my own loss." Chu Zhenmin said confidently.
Chu Ziqiang only reacted at this time, they are going to his second uncle's study now to get "money" for Zhang Yang.
He guessed and asked, "Sixty million, Brother Yang, are you going to buy a wedding house in Yanjing?" ”
"Who do you look down on for a 60 million wedding house?" Chu Zhenmin knocked on Xiao Chu's head and reminded him, "Your granddaughter of Grandpa Ma's family, the Huanghuali furniture that will accompany you at that time is estimated to be hundreds of millions, can you get the house for 60 million?" ”
What he said made Zhang Yang sweat.
He thought that Mr. Ma's family was very rich, but he didn't expect it to be so rich.
I can only hope in my heart that Chu Zhenmin is teasing him, his words must be exaggerated.
"Oh yes." Chu Ziqiang nodded, "In the past, the entire Forbidden City was managed by the elders of Teacher Ma's family, and there must be money." ”
"Brother Yang, Gou Fugui, don't forget each other."
"Huh." Zhang Yang wiped the sweat on his head and smiled perfunctorily.
After the heart is finished, I have to find a way to make money after the New Year, otherwise I will really eat soft rice.
The three of them soon arrived at Chu Zhenmin's study.
Zhang Yang has been here several times, and he has seen the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, the four treasures of the study on the desktop, and even the furniture in the room.
The combined price must be well over 60 million.
But listening to the meaning of Lao Chu's words, it seems that he can get through that big hole by only one thing.
"Baby, baby, second uncle."
"What are you in a hurry, help me clean up the table first."
"Okay!" Chu Ziqiang did chores in a hurry, and didn't even let Zhang Yang interfere.
After all the tables were cleaned up, Lao Chu also took out the rare treasure from the safe in the compartment.
The thing is packed in a mahogany box, and the box is embossed with the three big characters of "Zhiyan Sutra" in regular script.
The full name of the Zhiyan Sutra should be called "The Wisdom and Strict Sutra of the Realm of All Buddhas", which is the sutra of Mahayana Buddhism.
When I opened the box, it contained a book of scriptures.
It's a bit like the forty-two chapters in "The Legend of the Deer and Ding", which is in the form of a booklet, but a little thicker.
In the middle of the obverse, there are five large italics written in lacquer, "Yushu Zhiyan Sutra".
The rest of the cover is decorated with brocade embroidered with dragons in five colors: white, blue, yellow, red, and green.
This thing, at first glance, is a Buddhist scripture copied by the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
Considering that there are more than 2,000 scriptures written by the emperor of the Qing Dynasty in the Guang Forbidden City, and Lao Chu said that his Buddhist scriptures can be sold for 60 million, it must be the handwriting of one of the three grandfathers and grandsons.
Kangxi? Yongzheng? Or Qianlong?
Seeing the seal of "Great Freedom" behind the line "Wisdom and Strict Sutra of All Buddhas" at the beginning, the identity of the author is about to be revealed.
It's you, Qianlong!
"There are more than 5,000 words in the entire volume of Buddhist scriptures, all of which were copied down by Qianlong word by word."
"When copying this Buddhist scripture...... Chu Zhenmin pointed to the text of the inscription [Qianlong Yimao Imperial Pen] and explained, "In 1796, Qianlong was eighty-five years old, and this was a gift he gave to himself at the age of eighty-five. ”
"And this year, he gave the Zen position to Jiaqing, so this is probably the last Buddhist scripture he wrote in the position of emperor."
"Precious enough, right?"
"Indeed." Zhang Yang nodded, "And this white drawing of Sakyamuni's preaching is not bad, it should be the handwriting of a court painter." ”
In the painting, Shakyamuni is sitting on a lotus platform and preaching, and Manjushri is kneeling in front of him to listen to the scriptures attentively, and he is listening to the "Zhiyan Sutra".
"Can this thing sell for 60 million?" Chu Ziqiang questioned first, "There are a lot of this kind of scriptures in the Forbidden City, I remember that Qianlong likes to copy Buddhist scriptures very much, and there should be dozens of copies." ”
"It's because the others are in the Forbidden City that this piece is so precious that it seems to be outside." Chu Zhenmin smiled and asked Xiao Chu rhetorically, "This thing is lent to Zhang Yang, is it no problem?" ”
"No problem." Chu Ziqiang replied without thinking.
"That's good." Chu Zhenmin nodded.
"Good what? Second uncle, you have something to say. ”
"This Buddhist scripture was originally intended to be given to you as a gift when you married your daughter-in-law, but now that you agree, then I will lend it to Zhang Yang."
"Huh?" Xiao Chu frowned first, but immediately reacted, the second uncle said this because he was a retired cadre, "Okay, you want to use me as an excuse, right?" ”
Chu Ziqiang stepped forward and put his arm around Zhang Yang's shoulders and said, "Brother Yang, since this scripture is mine, then you can use this money as you like, and you don't have to pay it back." ”
