Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Vol 3 Chapter 949: The most suitable national treasure

Facing Xia Yu’s question, Hua Shengshi did not answer it immediately, but contemplated it for a while before saying to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, this is really difficult to define, because if it is the influence of Hua Xia culture, is there any It’s not the same. I say here that you may not have any idea. If you are free, you might as well go to the scene to determine which one to use."

Xia Yu nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I haven't seen it in a long time."

After speaking, he looked at Pei I.M. and asked with a smile: "Mr. Pei, are you interested in going there together?"

IM Pei smiled and said: "Of course I am interested. Although I am overseas most of the time, I never forget that I am a descendant of Yan and Huang. I have the opportunity to appreciate the splendid Chinese culture. I can't miss it."

"Haha, Mr. Bei praised this!"

After speaking, Xia Yu and others went to the parking lot, left the Kowloon Cultural Museum, and went to his villa dedicated to storing antiques and cultural relics.

Before there were few cultural relics, he built a basement in his home for collection, but later, considering the inconvenience, he moved the cultural relics again and concentrated them in a special villa.

Anyway, he is now the number one landlord in Hong Kong besides the Hong Kong government, and he has no shortage of houses at all!

Because of the high value of cultural relics, Xia Yu also specially arranged for security teams to patrol and guard them around the clock.

Soon after the security personnel confirmed their identities, the vehicles of Xia Yu and others entered the garage of the villa, led by Hua Shengshi, to the door of the basement.

While unlocking the lock, Hua Shengshi said to Xia Yu and others: "Mr. Xia, not all cultural relics are placed in the basement, because the space below is limited, so they are stored in the higher value batch."

"Tick!"

While talking, the precise door lock opened, Huashengshi pressed a button again, and the alloy door more than ten centimeters thick opened slowly.

"There is a ventilation system in the basement, so there is no risk of suffocation."

"please follow me!"

After speaking, Hua Shengshi took Xia Yu and others down the stairs, then turned left and right, and came to another gate. After another unlock, everyone finally walked in.

Xia Yu thought it would be densely placed here, but he didn't expect to come in but found it was very empty, and there were not many cultural relics placed.

However, he thought about it and thought it was normal. If the most valuable cultural relics are piled up like a mountain, they will not be displayed. Only a few pieces can be more precious.

"Mr. Xia, I think the most valuable cultural relics are here."

Pointing to the contents of the glass cabinets, Hua Shengshi said to Xia Yu.

"The first one is the one on the left. This is the best of all the paintings in our collection!"

Following Hua Shengshi’s fingers, Xia Yu looked at a five-to-six-meter-long glass cabinet on the left. Inside, it was a painting, and it was very long. At first glance, the dark yellow material It doesn't seem to be paper, but silk cloth.

Xia Yu approached to observe. When he saw a few of the words, his eyes condensed, and he looked up at Hua Shengshi, and said in amazement: "This is the "Luo Shen Fu Tu" by Gu Kaizhi, a painter of the Eastern Jin Dynasty? Is it authentic? ?"

When he asked, he didn't wait for Hua Shengshi to answer, and he searched for the painting to see if he could find a seal that could prove Gu Kaizhi's identity.

Before Xia Yu could find it, the voice of a wry smile in the Huasheng Age changed: "Mr. Xia, this is not Gu Kaizhi’s authentic work. There is no Gu Kaizhi’s authentic work in the world. It has been more than 1,500 years since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, not to mention the past dynasties. Whether the emperor will collect it and leave it to the people, it may not be preserved in its entirety."

"Yes!"

When Xia Yu was a little disappointed, Hua Shengshi's next words made Xia Yu happy again.

"However, although this painting is not Gu Kaizhi's authentic painting, it should be the closest to the original painting because he copied it by Zhou Fang, a famous painter in the Tang Dynasty!"

"Zhou Fang in the Tang Dynasty was a very representative painter, good at painting pictures of ladies."

"Look here, there is Zhou Fang's seal. Not only that, there are also a series of seals of celebrities after the Tang Dynasty to prove the authenticity of this painting."

Xia Yu came to Hua Shengshi and looked at the seal he was pointing at. It was exactly the same as Hua Shengshi said.

Xia Yu smiled with satisfaction: "Sure enough, there is still Tang Yin's chapter! His chapter is even more legendary!"

"Yes!" Hua Shengshi said with a smile.

"The other chapters are also the seals of almost every dynasty celebrity."

When he found this painting in the box, he trembled with excitement for a long time. Although this painting is not Gu Kaizhi’s original work, it is a copy of the famous painter Zhou Fang and a series of celebrity works. The value of the seal has fallen short of the original. It is definitely a national treasure among the national treasures!

After Xia Yu and I.M. Pei had been appreciating them for a long time, he became more and more looking forward to it.

The first collection is such a top-notch, and it will not be so bad that it can be put together with this painting.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help looking at the other glass cabinets.

Hua Shengshi said to Xia Yu at the right time: "Mr. Xia, look here next."

"These are ancient books?"

Following Hua Shengshi to another large glass cabinet, Xia Yu frowned as he looked at the individually placed objects in the glass cabinet.

Ancient books circulating in China are not uncommon, but since it can be taken out by Hua Shengshi alone and put together with Zhou Fang's copy of Luo Shen Fu Tu, it is definitely not easy.

At this time, Hua Shengshi's words rang out to help Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, this is not an ordinary ancient book, but a copy of the Ming Dynasty "Yongle Dadian", a total of 122 volumes!"

""Yongle Dadian"?"

Xia Yu stared slightly, staring at the ancient books in the glass cabinet in amazement.

Even Pei, who has lived in the United States for a long time, has heard of the reputation of "Yongle Dadian". He was shocked and said: ""Yongle Dadian" is the largest encyclopedia in the history of the world. I saw it at the Library of Congress. There are only forty volumes, and I heard that there are only a few hundred volumes in the world, but I didn’t expect that there are one hundred and twenty-two volumes here!"

"If the news is released, it will definitely shock the world!"

Xia Yu nodded in agreement, his expression a little solemn: "Indeed, if it is announced, it will definitely shock the world!"

In his previous life, he visited the Forbidden City Museum and saw "Yongle Dadian", especially after seeing the introduction of "Yongle Dadian", he was quite indignant at that time.

Because "Yongle Dadian" can be said to be a collection of Chinese history and culture. It was compiled by the great Emperor Yongle in the heyday of the Ming Dynasty. It has 22,877 volumes of main text, 60 volumes of catalogue, and 11095 volumes. The total number of words is about With 370 million words, the book preserves the secret books of China from the pre-Qin period to the Song and Yuan dynasties. There are more than 8,000 various classics and materials from the beginning to the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. It is the largest encyclopedia in ancient China.

It's just that after the death of the Ming Dynasty, the original copy is missing.

It's a pity that the copy of "Yongle Dadian" has a long history, with more than 10,000 copies and only a few hundred copies remaining.

In later generations, the National Palace Museum has the largest stock, with only 162 volumes, followed by the National Palace Museum of Taiwan with 60 volumes, and then museums in Britain, Germany, the United States, and island countries have some collections.

At this time, the Forbidden City Museum probably hasn't collected so many, maybe he has the most here.

If it is taken out, it will shock the world, at least the cultural world of the mainland will definitely explode.

Xia Yu took a deep breath, calmed down his turbulent mood, and asked Hua Shengshi: "Old Hua, where did these copies of "Yongle Dadian" come from?"

Hua Shengshi looked far away and said with emotion: "Mr. Xia, these are all excavated from the cultural relics of the Eskenazi family. Before, they were all packed together in a box, and there were more than 1,000 ancient books alone. At that time, because time was too late, I just counted the boxes and pulled them back. I only knew that it was a box of ancient books. I didn't find a copy of "Yongle Dadian". I only found out when I checked them one by one."

Xia Yu nodded and said with a smile: "More than fifty million pounds are worth it!"

Hua Shengshi nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, it's worth it!"

After feeling, Xia Yu looked at other cultural relics under the leadership of Hua Shengshi.

Among them is a bronze tripod from the Western Zhou Dynasty, more than 80 volumes of Buddhist scriptures from the Jin Dynasty and Tang Sancai, etc.

After reading it, Xia Yu found that in addition to the two ancient books, there seemed to be one each for painting, bronze, calligraphy, pottery and porcelain.

"Mr. Xia, I think everything here has great value, and it can cause a sensation when you take it out. Which one do you think is better?"

Hearing the question of Huashengshi, Xia Yu's eyes wandered around, and finally fixed on the booklet of "Yongle Dadian", and said:

"Just "Yongle Dadian", other cultural relics are not suitable, and it is easy to increase the price of cultural relics. On the contrary, "Yongle Dadian" is the most suitable for auction!"

Hua Shengshi thought for a while, nodded in agreement, and said: "It makes sense. The known "Yongle Dadian" is collected by museums from all over the world. It is almost impossible to have market circulation, and it is an isolated copy, even if the price increases. Priceless, and the ancient book market is also the most chaotic and difficult to distinguish. There are too many modern ancient books of no value. Foreigners do not understand Chinese culture and it is difficult to distinguish them."

"Moreover, there are one hundred and twenty-two volumes here. The quantity is large enough to sell at a higher price. In fact, the price of a single volume will not be much higher."

"If we take calligraphy and painting porcelain to auction and sell it at a sky-high price, it will be difficult for us to reclaim cultural relics at a low price later, which is inconsistent with our strategy of acquiring cultural relics at low prices."

Hearing the dialogue between Hua Shengshi and Xia Yu, Pei suddenly said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I didn't expect my suggestion to have such consequences. Fortunately, you have considered it, otherwise I would be ashamed. You guys!"

Xia Yu said with a smile: "Mr. Bei, you don't have to be like this. Your starting point is good, not to mention that it didn't cause bad effects."

Hua Shengshi also agreed and comforted: "Yes, Mr. Bei, you don't have to think too much."

Hearing the continuous comfort of the two, Pei felt much better.

In order to avoid Pei's continued embarrassment, Hua Shengshi skipped this topic and said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, there is one more thing to pay attention to. If "Yongle Dadian" is sold for auction, I am worried that people will come from the mainland. , There will be greater pressure on you."

"Moreover, there will be many people from other countries coming to bid, will the variables be very big then?"

Xia Yu smiled calmly and said: "Don't worry, I'll see you when the time comes. I will take care of everything, and no problems will arise. You have worked so hard during this period of time. I will arrange the Kowloon Cultural Museum as soon as possible. I will let it tomorrow. The security team is stationed and I will let them listen to your arrangements!"

"Okay!" Hua Shengshi put his heart down and responded~www.readwn.com~ Since it has come to the treasure house, and there is still some time, it doesn't make sense to return.

Under the leadership of Hua Shengshi, Xia Yu, Pei I.M. and others watched many cultural relics. Before the cultural relics full of historical charm, Xia Yu received some spiritual baptisms.

Before leaving, the touched Xia Yu was even more convinced that his decision to collect the cultural relics was extremely correct, and promised Hua Sheng Shi to unconditionally support him in collecting cultural relics, making Hua Sheng Shi happy from ear to ear.
