Inoue Kamezaburo bowed deeply to Wang Yiting and thanked him for his contribution to the Great Kanto Earthquake.

"Wang Sang, your great kindness and great virtue will never be forgotten by the Japanese people. ”

Wang Yiting was very happy to hear this: "Mr. Inoue, you are polite. ”

As the president of the Demon Capital Chamber of Commerce, he was naturally no stranger to the Qin family, and he saw Qin Di watching calligraphy and painting silently from a distance, so he walked over and shouted: "Virtuous nephew, you are also here! Interested in calligraphy and painting?"

Qin Di smiled slightly: "Meet my uncle." I don't know how to draw, but I like to look at paintings. ”

Wang Yiting said with a smile: "Since you like it, then buy a few and go back! The Qin family has made a fortune in the past two years, so why not fund these painters on the sea?"

Qin Di smiled: "Okay." Then I'll buy a few more. ”

The reason why these artists hold exhibitions is to communicate, gather, and make a name for themselves, and the main reason is to sell their paintings. Painters also have to make ends meet, and if their paintings can't be sold, they have to drink the northwest wind.

The calligraphy and paintings of these years are very cheap, a three-foot-long painting, cheap forty or fifty yuan, expensive two or three hundred oceans, but after a hundred years, each fine product is worth millions, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions!

Qin Di pondered for a while: "It's a waste of money to be put in the bank, it's better to buy a few more paintings, the question is how to save it after you buy it?"

Although he has a storage belt, there are two virtual stones, one is relatively large, can hold dozens of cubic meters, and the other is relatively small, only five or six cubic meters, but the calligraphy and painting is not safe, maybe in the future to use the storage space to hold drugs and guns, what if the calligraphy and painting are crushed?

Moreover, in the next few decades, the Shenzhou continent will be turbulent, and there will be almost no peaceful place, and it will not be safe for calligraphy and painting to be placed anywhere, even if it has escaped the threat of war......

Wang Yiting saw that he was silent, and said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, I know that the Qin family has bought a lot of real estate, from the Bund to the main road, the second road, and even the building opposite my house, all of which have been bought by your family. However, although investment property can appreciate in value, it may not be as good as calligraphy and painting. ”

Qin Di smiled and said, "You're right, I want to accept hundreds of paintings, can you please be a middleman?"

Wang Yiting was taken aback: "Hundreds?

"Hehe, it's not limited to these works that hang out. Zhang Daqian, Liu Haisu, who doesn't have a lot of collections?"

Wang Yiting stared at him and said with a smile: "Okay, good! If you are really willing to accept the paintings, you can be regarded as helping the big guy." ”

Subsequently, he introduced each painter to Qin Di.

Everyone soon knew that Qin Di was a big buyer, stupid and had a lot of money, come quickly!

Some people thought Qin Di was really stupid, so they fooled him with some ordinary paintings.

Wang Yiting didn't speak, just watched with a smile.

However, he didn't expect that Qin Di's eyes were like torches, and he could see the value of calligraphy and painting at a glance, so he only carefully selected some of them and threw those ordinary paintings aside.

When Wang Yiting saw it, he couldn't help but nod secretly, and said in his heart: "It's not simple, at a young age, he has a very high sense of appreciation, and it's obviously not a wine bag and a rice bag." ”

Qin Di finished collecting the paintings on the scene, and asked Wang Yiting to help and recommend a broker who deals in calligraphy and painting.

This person's name is "Wu Heng", he is in his forties, he was originally an unpopular painter, and later changed his career to become a calligraphy and painting merchant.

Qin Di asked Wu Heng to replace him, visit Zhang Daqian, Liu Haisu, Wu Changshuo, Huang Binhong, Xu Beihong, Feng Zikai, and even go to the north to find Qi Baishi, Chen Shizeng and others, sweep away their fine paintings, and agreed with these painters to ask them to keep their good paintings, and every three years, he will sweep them again.

Qin Di spent 500,000 oceans and bought 1,000 paintings in a few months, which was just a drizzle for him, but it caused quite a stir in the calligraphy and painting world.

Some people can't sell their paintings, so they say that the Qin family has a Kaizi and uses the hard-earned money of the old lady to buy a bunch of bad paintings!

And those real great painters are full of praise when they mention him: "Mr. Qin has a pair of discerning eyes and bought our masterpieces." He paid a fair price, and we were willing to sell it to him. ”

Qin Di put all the calligraphy and paintings into the small space on the right side of the storage belt, and this space was going to be used exclusively for the collection of calligraphy and paintings, and he would not put anything else.

In addition to the works of these contemporary painters, he also quietly purchased some ancient paintings of the Ming and Qing dynasties, as long as there were in Beijing and the magic city, he could collect as much as possible, such as Wang Qian, Lu Zhi, Xiang Shengmo, Gong Xian, Zhou Chen, Sun Zhaolin, Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming, Zheng Banqiao, Tang Yin, Jin Nong and other works, which were also swept away by him.

He even received some old Qing court paintings and calligraphy, including hundreds of calligraphy and paintings from the Shiqu Treasure. Because the Qing court had just been kicked out by Feng Yuxiang, the ancient paintings that had been collected for many years were scattered on the streets, and if these paintings were to wait until a hundred years later, each of them would be auctioned for tens of millions.

Time flies, and before you know it, it's 1926.

At this time, in the world, the penicillin produced by the Qinjia Pharmaceutical Factory was still far ahead, and the price of one was 80 US dollars, and it was still in short supply.

Guotai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. is holding on to production, producing 20,000 pieces a month, half of which are sold domestically and half exported, with a profit of more than one million US dollars!

There are many pharmaceutical companies in the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany, which have invested a lot of money to find high-yield Penicillium, but two years have passed, and they are still looking for moldy cantaloupe all over the world, and have not found strains suitable for industrial production.

As a result, these pharmaceutical companies had to send people to Modu to seek cooperation and patent licensing. There are also people who want to take the opportunity to steal the strain.

Helplessly, the security measures of the Qinjia Pharmaceutical Factory are very good, every staff member is carefully selected, and they have to bathe and change clothes when they enter and leave the factory, and after four or five inspections from the inside out, it is not easy for outsiders to steal the strains.

In the spring of this year, the heads of more than a dozen well-known pharmaceutical companies in Europe and the United States came to the magic capital together, and even embassy officials from various countries were dispatched.

The newspaper has published a number of well-known people's comments, saying that penicillin is a miracle drug against germs and should belong to all mankind, and since Ms. Zhu Wan has won the supreme honor of the Nobel Prize, she should donate high-yield penicillium for free to save more patients.

Under pressure, Qin Di personally went out and invited a group of Chinese and Western lawyers to negotiate with these pharmaceutical companies.

The patent system has a long history. As early as 1624, England had patent law, and the American patent system began in 1790 and lasted more than 100 years until 1926.

It stands to reason that these pharmaceutical companies are purely out of nowhere, constrained by the patent system, and do not have the upper hand in negotiations at all.

But Qin Di is facing a group of hooligans in suits, relying on strong ships and cannons, and they can be quite unreasonable.

In the same year, Japan bombarded Dagukou and wantonly trampled on China's sovereignty! British warships shelled Wanxian for three hours, killing and injuring more than 5,000 Chinese! The British ship "Asia" rammed and sank the Chinese merchant ship "Shendian" and drowned 450 people!

Therefore, this group of foreigners is a gang of hooligans and robbers! In history, the conflicts between various races of mankind have never stopped, and the so-called fairness and justice will have to wait for a long, long time!
