Happy Tycoon

Cai Yi didn't even put down the phone for five minutes, and the door of his office was pushed open violently with a bang.

Where is it? Lao Cai, where is the manuscript of Master Lu Xun you mentioned? A thin old man wearing glasses, about sixty-four or five years old, hurriedly pushed the door open, and as soon as he entered the door, he couldn't wait to make a loud noise. asked.

Cai Yi smiled helplessly and said to Yang Jing: Have you seen that, this Guo Laoji is like this.

After finishing speaking, Cai Yi said to the old man who had just entered the door: I said, Lao Guo, when can you change your fiery personality?

The old man ignored Cai Yi, but looked straight at Yang Jing, Young man, Lao Cai just said on the phone that one of his juniors has six manuscripts of Master Lu Xun in his hand? Is it you?

Yang Jing quickly stood up, for such an old expert, Yang Jing did not dare to neglect.

After making a slight bow, Yang Jing said: Hello, Mr. Guo, I am Yang Jing, the junior that Uncle Cai just mentioned is me. That's right, I bought a batch of manuscripts at a rural market the day before yesterday. and various documents, including six manuscripts written by Master Lu Xun.

When the old man heard this, his eyes glowed, he rubbed his hands together and said, Great, great! Now we can have more manuscripts from the master.

After a pause, the old man said to Yang Jing: Xiao Yang, have you brought the manuscript?

Yang Jing smiled wryly and shook his head and said, Old Guo, I came here today to ask Uncle Cai for other business, and I accidentally mentioned Master Lu Xun's manuscript, but you came here so soon.

When Mr. Guo heard this, his face collapsed immediately, he patted his thigh and thought for a while before he said, Xiao Yang, can I go with you to read those manuscripts?

Yang Jing smiled and said: That's no problem. In fact, talking about these manuscripts is also one of the purposes of my coming here this time. When I was sorting out those manuscripts yesterday, I found that some of them had reached the point where they had to be protected. , but I don’t understand the cultural preservation of ancient books, so I asked Uncle Cai.”

Oh! I'm the best at this! Xiao Yang, let me go and look at those manuscripts with you, and you don't have to worry about the rest. I promise to protect those manuscripts properly.

Before Mr. Guo finished speaking, the door of the office was pushed open again, and Mr. Liu, who had identified the Dongbi sword and the thirty-six treasures of the ancient spring for Yang Jing, came in panting.

I said you are in a hurry, Mr. Guo, so you can't walk slowly? When Lao Cai said that the item was in the hands of one of his juniors, I reckoned it was Xiao Yang. Haha, I guessed correctly.

Yang Jing hurriedly bowed slightly to this old Liu and said, Hello, old Liu.

Mr. Liu took a breath, then came forward with a smile and patted Yang Jing on the shoulder and said, You boy, every time you come here you can make something happen. Last time you went to my place, As a result, my group of students were stunned, even the old man I was stunned. This time you are even more ruthless, and you directly turned Guo Laoji into a full-speed car. Haha, Lao Guo, the Dongbi sword and the thirty-six ancient treasures you saw two days ago belong to the young man in front of you.

Cai Yi rubbed his chin and smiled wryly: There is also the Qianlong blue and white five-bat holding longevity ear bottle, which was also sold to me by this kid. Here, do you see that bronze statue over there? This kid just brought it over Yes, the three million dollars have already been confiscated by Guardian.

When Cai Yi said this, Elder Liu's eyes were attracted by the statue of the dancing king Shiva on the side, and he immediately leaned over without saying a word.

As for Mr. Guo, he became a little sluggish, and after a long while, he asked Yang Jing: Xiao Yang, what these two old guys said just now came from you?

Yang Jing rubbed his chin and smiled wryly, nodded and said, Good luck, boy, I'm just lucky.

Cai Yi said from the side: How lucky are you, kid? As far as I know, you got four treasures in the past half a month, not to mention that you still have six manuscripts written by Master Lu Xun in your hand. .If I didn’t know that you are a junior of Mr. Yang, I really wonder if you have been possessed by the patriarch!”

After a pause, Cai Yi smiled and said to Mr. Guo: Old Guo, this kid is Yang Tianmin's junior. Mr. Yang and Xiao Yang's grandfather have been friends for more than 30 years. This time, Xiao Yang came to Yanjing , Mr. Yang even called me specifically to ask me to take care of this kid. Now it seems that this kid is better than me, I think I have to be covered by this kid.

Then, Cai Yi pointed to Mr. Guo and said, Yang Jing, let me introduce you formally. This is Professor Guo Tianlin Guo, an expert in our academy who is responsible for the preservation of rare ancient books, and also a research librarian in our academy.

Yang Jing had no choice but to bow again and said, Hello, Mr. Guo.

Mr. Guo waved his hand and said, Let's not talk about it. You are Mr. Yang's junior, so we are a family. When I first started working, Mr. Yang took care of me a lot. This, we Let’s talk about it later, I just want to ask you, when can you take me there to see the master’s manuscript.”

This Old Guo is really quick-tempered, otherwise Cai Yi and Old Liu wouldn't call him Old Guo anxious.

Yang Jing said: Old Guo, don't worry, the things are stored in the house I just rented, in Dahezhuang Garden in Zhongguancun. If you have nothing to do, we can leave right away. But Mr. Guo, boy I have another unfeeling request here, and that is the preservation of those manuscripts.

Don't worry about this, as long as the manuscript is real, you don't have to worry about the work of protection. Then, Mr. Guo thought for a while, Well, since you entrusted Lao Cai to find a cultural relic protection expert, it just so happens that I will go with you In the past, would I be able to bring a few more students? Anyway, cultural relic protection requires a lot of tools and materials, and it can’t be done without manpower.”

Yang Jing smiled and nodded.

While talking, Mr. Liu over there expressed emotion: Lao Cai, you old boy can make another contribution! This bronze statue is not simple, it is a treasure of the Chola Dynasty in Tamil Nadu in the ninth century! And if I If you read correctly, this bronze statue should have belonged to the royal family of the Chola Dynasty. This bronze statue is much more valuable than the one that appeared in the auction of Mr. An Siyuan's collection at Christie's auction the year before last! Three million U.S. dollars, tsk tsk, you old boy is really good at picking up leaks! I think if this bronze statue is put up for auction, it may not be worth 3.5 million U.S. dollars, even if it exceeds 400, it may not be a big deal. It’s possible! Xiao Yang is your junior, and Elder Yang personally told you to take care of Xiao Yang, so you’re going to take care of Xiao Yang like this? Picking up leaks from Xiao Yang’s hands?”

Cai Yi's face was suffocated, and Yang Jing quickly said: Mr. Liu, I agree with this price. Boy, I am in urgent need of money now. If I wait for the auction next year, I can't afford it. Uncle Cai will help me with three million yuan. It’s too late for me to be grateful to sell this bronze statue at the price of US dollars.”

Elder Liu looked at Yang Jing and shook his head helplessly.

Mr. Liu has such a straightforward temper, he can say what he has, and he also has a famous nickname in the Palace Museum——Liu Dapao.

Mr. Guo pulled Mr. Liu aside, and said to Yang Jing: Xiao Yang, when are we leaving? Let me, an old man, wait here. This is not what a junior who respects the elderly should do.

Yang Jing nodded quickly and said, Let's go, let's go.

Mr. Guo took out his mobile phone with a smile, dialed a number, and then said confidently: Four people will wait at Xihuamen in a while. After bringing the tools, let's go out to work. After finishing speaking, the old man Hang up the phone directly.

Mr. Liu pointed at Mr. Guo and said with a smile: You old guy, you only know how to treat the students like cattle and horses.

Mr. Guo rolled his eyes and said plausibly: Aren't you talking nonsense? What do students do? Students just follow us to learn things. Let them do some work to take care of them. If you don't do work, just watch. When can you learn? To the real craft?

Mr. Liu said with a wry smile: You are right, I am no match for you. By the way, Xiao Yang, I have already taken care of your Dongbi sword and those thirty-six ancient springs. If you are free today Just take it back together. Your things are in my office, and I am still worried all day long, for fear that they will be lost by you.

Yang Jing said: That's great, Mr. Liu, I'm planning to go back in the next few days. The maintenance work on your side is finished, so I can take the things back to show Grandpa Yang.

Old Liu smiled and said to Old Guo: Old Guo, you have to wait for a while, I have to complete the handover procedures with Xiao Yangzi.

Old Guo shook his head helplessly, waved his hands without saying a word.

Mr. Liu took good care of the Dongbi sword and the thirty-six ancient springs, and everyone who saw them gave him a thumbs up.

But the price of maintenance is not cheap, just the Dongbi sword and the thirty-six ancient springs cost Yang Jing a total of 300,000 yuan.

Yang Jing also knew that it was always expensive to maintain this kind of precious antique. The 300,000 is still the price after the discount Mr. Liu gave him. If it is the normal price, if you don’t want 500,000 for the maintenance of these thirty-seven antiques, it will be considered a big face of yours.

Each of the thirty-six ancient springs was individually placed in a brocade box. As for the Dongbi sword, it was also placed in a longer brocade box. After handing over these things, Elder Liu instructed Yang Jing a few more words, telling him how to maintain these things in a simple way, and then Yang Jing returned to Cai Yi's office with a big bag of things.

Cai Yi knew that Yang Jing had master Lu Xun's manuscripts there, but what attracted Cai Yi more was the Longquan kiln Huakou plate. Mr. Liu also heard Mr. Guo talk about it, so the two masters also went to read it together. look. Although many manuscripts of Master Lu Xun have been preserved to this day, compared to Master Lu Xun's status in the literary world, these manuscripts of his are definitely not inferior to those Song edition books.

According to the statistics of the Lu Xun Museum, there are 350 manuscripts of Master Lu Xun preserved, with 1916 pages, accounting for about a quarter of the total creations of Master Lu Xun. . There are 167 manuscripts of Lu Xun's miscellaneous essays, among which there are many important articles, such as Death, Preface to the Second Collection of Novels of The Great Series of Chinese New Literature, Talks Outside the Door, In Memory of Forgetting and so on. There are also two special parts in the manuscripts of Master Lu Xun, one is the diary, and the other is the letter. The diary manuscript has a total of 2204 pages (including books). There are 1,388 manuscripts of the letters and 2,175 pages in existence, accounting for only about a quarter of the total number of letters. Among them, the most valuable research is Books from Two Places. In addition, there are 85 ancient books compiled by Lu Xun, 8136 pages; 879 stone carvings compiled by Lu Xun, 3679 pages, etc.

These precious manuscripts seem to be in large numbers, but they are all manuscripts preserved in museums. Currently, the manuscripts of Master Lu Xun circulated in the society are very rare, and the value of each page is very, very high. To the extent that even Song edition books must be looked up to.

In 2013 China Guardian's Spring Auction, a fragment of a page in Master Lu Xun's manuscript Ancient Novel Going Shen was auctioned for a high price of 6.9 million yuan. Before the auction of Master Mao Dun's manuscript Talking about Recent Short Stories, it had always held the auction record for a manuscript by a Chinese literati.

But don't forget, Master Mao Dun's Ancient Novels Go Shen has 30 pages and sold a total of 12.07 million yuan, while Master Lu Xun's manuscript is only a broken page, and the price is extremely contradictory Half of a thirty-page manuscript by the master!

From this we can see how precious master Lu Xun's handwritten manuscripts are.

Now that these masters know that Yang Jing has six manuscripts written by Master Lu Xun, how can they remain indifferent?

Yang Jing drove the three masters, while Guo Lao's four students drove another car, and followed Yang Jing's car to Zhongguancun.

After more than forty minutes, a group of eight people came to Yang Jing's rental house.

As soon as he entered the door, Mr. Guo couldn't wait to ask Yang Jing to take out the six manuscripts of Master Lu Xun, while Mr. Liu and Cai Yi looked at the security of the room.

The two masters nodded slightly when they saw that the security of the house was indeed very good, and then their attention was attracted by the piles of documents and the flower plate placed on the big bed in the second bedroom. .

At this time, after roughly reading the manuscript of Master Lu Xun, he called Lao Liu and Cai Yi over excitedly: Lao Liu, Lao Cai, this is indeed the manuscript written by Master Lu Xun, and it is still not in the Lu Xun Museum. The manuscripts that have appeared! These are priceless treasures, priceless treasures!

After finishing speaking, Mr. Guo stood up and patted Yang Jing on the shoulder very excitedly and praised: Xiao Yang, you did a good job, you did a good job! To be able to find these six manuscripts of Master Lu Xun is a great contribution to our country. Cultural inheritance has made a huge contribution!

Yang Jing said a few words modestly and politely, and then the three masters left him as the master and focused all their attention on the six manuscripts.

As for other documents and manuscripts, compared with these six manuscripts by Master Lu Xun, they are undoubtedly much less attractive

The six manuscripts of Master Lu Xun that Yang Jing collected are all in good condition, basically no need for maintenance. However, among the things he scoured, there are really many things that are in urgent need of maintenance.

With Mr. Guo's four disciples present, several people were busy working together. By noon, all the documents and materials that were in urgent need of maintenance were sorted out.

However, in the process of sorting out, both Mr. Guo and Mr. Liu were overwhelmed by the batch of manuscripts collected by Yang Jing. This is a baby weighing more than 800 catties and tens of thousands of pages! Even though they are well-informed, they have never seen so many precious manuscripts gathered together at one time. Even Cai Yi, who had been admiring the Longquan Ge Kiln Huakou dish, was finally attracted by so many precious manuscripts.

And when Mr. Guo asked about the origin of these treasures, even Mr. Guo's four disciples didn't know what to say.
