Chapter 469: The British Museum is not afraid
Zhang Yang was a little curious about whether the total price of Sister Fu's dozen or so oil paintings would be more than less, which was higher than all the other lots she sent for auction combined.
At the moment, it looks like there is an opportunity.
The first two large goods have successfully crossed the steps of 10 million.
At this time, his mobile phone suddenly vibrate.
opened it and found that it was a message from Chu Ziqiang.
Xiao Chu wants to transform and be a career-oriented man?
Zhang Yang read the message again and made sure that he was not mistaken.
He couldn't help muttering in his heart: Isn't the career type his own personality?
Xiao Chu has always been the second generation of G.
The two of them are completely different styles.
But looking at the news, Xiao Chu's attitude is very sincere.
It's not called "brother" anymore, it's just called "father-in-law".
Zhang Yang has been in a while and has never seen Xiao Chu so serious.
It seems that I really want to transform, and I must pay attention to it.
So after the auction ended, he hurriedly called Chu Ziqiang.
On the other end of the phone, Xiao Chu briefly explained the cause and process of the incident.
Zhang Yang never expected that this matter could be relied on on himself.
Xiao Chu spoke sourly, as if he was the ideal type of Fu Sishi.
"This is indeed wrong for the father."
Zhang Yang sighed and said:
"It's a sin to be too good sometimes."
“???”
Chu Ziqiang on the other end of the phone, three question marks popped up above his head.
"Brother Yang, can you talk more later, tell Yizi first, can you help with this favor?"
"Of course, the question is, how do you want me to help you?" Zhang Yang asked curiously.
"Do you have a plan?"
It has been more than half an hour since Xiao Chu sent a message to himself just now.
Zhang Yang wanted to know if Chu Ziqiang had figured out any methods during this time.
If there is no one at all, it can only mean that Xiao Chu's will is not strong enough.
The so-called help is not so urgent.
"Yes, yes."
Chu Ziqiang hurriedly replied.
"I thought about it for a while, if I can run an antique auction company, then wouldn't Sister Fu and I, who opened a gallery, become a match made in heaven?"
"It's okay to do business and fall in love in the future."
After Chu Ziqiang finished speaking, he smirked twice.
made Zhang Yang suspicious, Xiao Chu's nose over there was bubbling.
"Brother Yang, I searched, the most important thing for the auction company is the capital and the source of goods, there is no problem with the capital, the focus is on the source of goods."
"Don't you have a stable supply there?"
"So you can definitely help me."
"Of course there is a supply, but I think, are you thinking about the problem too complicated?" Zhang Yang asked rhetorically.
"Complex? What do you mean? ”
"I mean, it's actually very easy for you to open an auction company."
"How easy is it?"
Chu Ziqiang was a little confused.
Zhang Yang smiled a little wickedly and told him:
"You just need to find the industrial and commercial information of an auction company, and then show it to Director Chu and say:
Grandpa, I want this. ”
“…… Depend on! ”
Chu Ziqiang thought it was a good way, and he pricked up his ears to listen just now.
I didn't expect it to be this kind of bad idea.
He knew that Zhang Yang was still teasing him, and pleaded:
"Father-in-law, don't be funny, do you have any easy solutions?"
"Child, you're in the picture."
Zhang Yang sighed with emotion and looked at Boss Lan beside him:
"I'll give you an address, you come over as soon as possible."
"Isn't it chasing the older sister? Look at the one who made it difficult for you, I have a top military advisor here. ”
Boss Lan is a man who relies on his three-inch tongue and is next to a billionaire woman.
Isn't it Fu Sishi, who has assets of tens of millions?
Isn't that hand-to-hand?
After Zhang Yang hung up the phone, he briefly explained the situation of his friend to Boss Lan.
The best double-sided turtle + boiling sheep and sheep, it is said that Chu Ziqiang is strong.
To be honest, if it weren't for Fu Sishi herself, Zhang Yang would have seen it, and indeed she was not green tea, Zhang Yang would have suspected that Xiao Chu had been PUA.
Boss Lan listened to Zhang Yang's words and nodded with a smile.
"Mr. Zhang, your friend, shouldn't it be you?"
"No, no, you've seen one of the parties."
"It's the Ms. Fu from the oil painting exhibition some time ago."
"Huh? That one? ”
Boss Lan's face showed a brilliant expression.
He tilted his head and looked at Zhang Yang carefully, almost giving Zhang Yang a whole day.
"Is there anything dirty on my face?"
"Nope. But I always thought that Miss Fu's sweetheart was Master Zhang! ”
"Huh? Why? Zhang Yang asked with a confused expression.
"Otherwise, why would you go out of your way to help her organize this auction?"
"I heard from Miss Fu that her situation is actually not very good."
"If it weren't for you, her gallery wouldn't be able to hold on."
"What is this? This is sending charcoal in the snow, lying on the ice and begging for carp, and heroes saving beauty! Beautiful women are easily tempted. ”
Boss Lan said with an oath.
Zhang Yang frowned, as if he had mixed in some strange idiom just now.
However, when he said this, recalling the details of his previous relationship with Fu Sishi, he somewhat believed in Boss Lan's judgment.
Fu Sishi once asked him several times, asking Zhang Yang why he wanted to help her.
But Xiao Chu gave a death order, and his name was never mentioned.
Well, I didn't expect a misunderstanding.
But fortunately, Zhang Yang didn't have any thoughts about Fu Sishi, so let Xiao Chu deal with this matter by himself.
Let you play the anonymous one, hahaha.
"Can this matter be remedied?"
Zhang Yang consulted Boss Lan, who nodded without hesitation:
"It's not difficult, do you need me to teach you?"
"No, no, wait for my friend to come."
"He needs professional counseling."
After more than an hour, Zhang Yang and several people met in Boss Lan's gallery.
As soon as they met, Chu Ziqiang asked impatiently:
"What about the military advisor? Where is it? Tell me about it. ”
"Isn't it here?"
Zhang Yang patted Boss Lan on the shoulder and introduced:
"This is Boss Lan, who is known as the ancestor of Xiangjiang's No. 1 soft rice, and specializes in pursuing older rich girls."
"It's okay to have him as your military advisor."
"Uh...... Hello, Brother Lan. Chu Ziqiang shook hands with Boss Lan suspiciously.
He knew that Boss Lan was Zhang Yang's connection in Xiangjiang.
But he didn't think that the other party made a fortune by eating soft rice.
"Hello."
Boss Lan also nodded to Xiao Chu, but he didn't know Chu Ziqiang's name, because Zhang Yang didn't introduce him.
He could only call Chu Ziqiang as:
"Double-faced turtle classmate."
This title made Chu Ziqiang stunned.
Zhang Yang laughed directly and gave a thumbs up to Boss Lan.
……
After handing over Chu Ziqiang to Boss Lan.
The next day, Zhang Yang returned to Shencheng.
In fact, Christie's has not yet finished dealing with the matter, and he promised to help Shen Yangling and them analyze a wave of lots.
Now, though, there's something more important.
forced Zhang Yang to come back.
In Shencheng, Zhang Yang met with experts from the Guangdong Provincial Museum, as well as staff members who were responsible for the recovery of overseas cultural relics.
This was arranged by Chu Zhenmin.
After a while, the video call between Zhang Yang and the Xu couple will be transmitted to the big screen in the next room in real time.
The professional team will be in the room, evaluate the conclusions given by Zhang Yang, and communicate with the people in Yanjing in real time.
In fact, many cultural relics in the Forbidden City have accounts.
A lot of things that are obviously a set are missing, and of course you can find problems.
However, due to the passage of time and the turmoil around the world, the whereabouts of most of the cultural relics are unknown.
Even if there is a roster, there is no chance of getting it back.
Now, it's an opportunity.
That's why everyone attaches great importance to it.
It's done, it's at least a few days of news headlines, and it's also a brilliant stroke on everyone's resume.
"Alright, I'm ready to start."
Zhang Yang saw that the Xu family had made a video call, and first notified the experts next door, and then connected to the microphone.
"Hello!"
Mrs. Xu in the video said hello to Zhang Yang very happily:
"Congratulations, Mr. Zhang, your auction was a complete success."
"Thank you." Zhang Yang responded politely.
The other party suddenly knows how to be polite, which makes people a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long.
Mrs. Xu's dog couldn't change her eating X, and soon returned to its original state:
"Actually, if you want me to say, Director Zhang, you should have gone overseas a long time ago."
"In the cultural and museum environment in the mainland, the good location is dominated by a group of old guys who are vegetarian in the corpse, how can a young man like you have a way out!"
"I still remember a long time ago, my mother wanted to donate a batch of old collections of the Qing Palace as overseas Chinese, but they actually thought that we were returning, not donating."
"What an outrageous bunch of old stuff......"
That's what I said.
has the feeling of being on top of Runren, and sure enough, it's still that Mrs. Xu.
When I thought of the old experts next door hearing these words, it was estimated that my face turned the color of pig liver with anger.
Zhang Yang pinched his thighs to hold back his laughter, and barely listened to Mrs. Xu's nonsense.
After talking about this nonsense, it was not enough, she insisted on making a public statement.
In order for things to continue, Zhang Yang had to pinch his nose and admit that his life was indeed unsatisfactory.
In this way, the Xu family turned the camera and focused on the collection in their home.
The first baby is very powerful.
A dragon robe with a blue background brocade.
This thing is not the first time Zhang Yang has seen this thing in a dragon robe.
The point is to observe how many dragons there are.
Zhang Yang asked the Xu family to cooperate and count, and it was indeed nine dragons.
And it's a real five-clawed golden dragon.
The dragon ornaments on it are rusted with gold thread and are in very good condition.
The item information shows that this is the dragon robe of Emperor Guangxu back then.
Before he could wear it after it was made, he died.
Since then, the dragon robe has been stored in the Forbidden City.
Until the war, the elders of Mrs. Xu's family, together with royal relatives, stole a lot of things.
This dragon robe was one of their trophies.
Later, he was taken out of the country and went to England via Xiangjiang, and has been kept at home ever since.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the dragon robe of a certain emperor of the Qing Dynasty, right?"
Zhang Yang asked pretending not to understand.
In fact, it is a reminder to the old experts in the next room to pay attention.
He didn't know exactly what level of these experts were.
"That's right." Mrs. Xu nodded and said, "My grandfather once told me that this was used by Emperor Guangxu. ”
"At that time, the emperor was trying on new clothes, and Li Lianying was ordered by Cixi to send arsenic-infused yogurt, and the emperor died after eating it......"
"I see."
Zhang Yang nodded, not too surprised.
Guangxu was poisoned by Cixi, and this matter is almost certain.
This dragon robe can be preserved so well, and there is also a credit to Li Lianying.
"Okay, let's do the next one."
"What's next, what do you want to see?" Mrs. Xu took the initiative to ask.
"We have a lot of treasures here, and if you look at them one by one, I guess we won't be able to finish them today."
"Then let's take a look at the treasures that come out of the palace first." Zhang Yang replied.
Since the other party has asked, if he doesn't ask for it, how rude!
After listening to Zhang Yang's words, Mrs. Xu waved to the side, and after a while, a statue of an Arhat appeared in the video.
Looking at the grain of the wood, it is obvious that it is sandalwood.
The carving is an ordinary laughing Arhat.
There is nothing special about it except for the craftsmanship.
It wasn't until Mrs. Xu picked up the entire Arhat statue that Zhang Yang discovered what was special about it.
At the base of the Arhat statue, it is engraved with Yin inscriptions: Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty.
"Sure enough, it's an old collection of the Qing Palace."
Zhang Yang nodded and made an OK gesture.
Target item +1.
Needless to say, the official Buddha statues are basically used by the queen.
The three emperors of the "three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty" were very fond of Buddhism.
Among them, the most diligent one is Qianlong.
The Buddhist halls in the Forbidden City were basically built by him, so Qianlong had a lot of demand for Buddha statues.
There are many such royal Buddha statues in Mrs. Xu's house.
Mrs. Xu's elders are probably not believing in Buddhism, and they have no etiquette at all, and they specialize in stealing Buddha statues.
And especially prefer gold.
Whether it is bronze gilt or mud gold, as long as it is a golden Buddha statue.
Purely in terms of quantity, there are more imperial Buddha statues of the Qianlong Dynasty in their hands than in the Hailin Museum.
No wonder Master Wang often sighs with Zhang Yang, the real collection still depends on the heritage.
Take a look at the background of people's love for Xinjueluo.
Master Wang and they still have to spend money to buy it in the people, and Mrs. Xu's elders directly carried sacks to the Forbidden City to loot.
How can this compare?
In addition to the things used in the palace, when they looted, these people did not even let go of treasures from other places.
What kind of copper seal of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households;
The court gown worn by the harem concubines;
Even Lang Shining's portrait of the concubine in the palace was made.
It was the first time that Zhang Yang saw the portrait of the imperial concubine of the Qing Dynasty outside the Forbidden City.
It's really against the sky.
"Director Zhang, I just saw this painting, I have a question for you."
"If we show a painting like this publicly, won't we get into trouble?"
Mrs. Xu also knew the significance of this kind of portrait.
Although it is not a very precious cultural relic, this thing is strongly related to the Forbidden City.
She's afraid of getting into trouble.
When Zhang Yang heard this, his heart was happy.
Isn't it a little too late to think about this question now?
You've already "lured the wolf into the house"!
"It's okay, won't the museum be built in Australia at that time, it shouldn't be a big problem."
"Really?" Mrs. Xu was a little puzzled, "Director Zhang, are you sure?" ”
"What's the matter, madam, don't you believe what I say?"
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's our friend from the British Museum, who suggested that we donate this thing to them, saying that otherwise it will be glued up by the domestic cultural relics."
"The British Museum isn't afraid anyway, you say, Director Zhang?" (End of chapter)
