Suppliers from both worlds have dominated the world since Datang!

Chapter 24: Gold strikes again! ! !

Zhuang Zhou suddenly didn't know how to answer the question.

He laughed and said:

“Actually, I heard from my grandfather that his great-great-grandfather has been particularly fond of collecting antiques and cultural relics since his generation.

Later, it was passed down from generation to generation, to my generation.

If it hadn't been for an accident at home, my father was sick and hospitalized and needed money urgently, I would never have sold it. "

The reason why Zhuang Zhou made up a cover like this was that he still couldn't trust the other party.

However, he did hear from his grandfather that his ancestors had a hobby of collecting antiques and cultural relics.

Moreover, Zhuang Zhou's grandfather really had the idea of opening an antique museum.

It's just that, what was passed down from ancestors must be a lie.

These were all brought back by him when he traveled to the Tang Dynasty.

"By the way, Lao Ma, after saying so much, you still haven't told me why you came to me?"

Zhuang Zhou quickly changed the topic.

"I came to see you today because I have something to ask for."

Liu Yunhe didn't say much and finally got to the point:

"On the 15th of next month, an antique exhibition will be held in Qingdu.

I know that you are very capable, or that you have many good treasures passed down from your ancestors.

I would like to ask if there are any other antiques?

For example, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, seals, even goldware, and ancient coins are all acceptable.

Of course, there are those who are the best in calligraphy and painting, and this is the most popular thing now. "

Hearing what Liu Yunhe said, Zhuang Zhou suddenly became nervous.

Why do you feel that the meaning behind this old Liu's words seems to be that he knows that he can get a lot of antiques and cultural relics?

"By the way, Lao Liu, aren't you an expert in antiques? I want to ask you a question."

"Oh, what do you want to know?"

"Do you know any famous calligraphers during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty?"

Zhuang Zhou really knew nothing about this aspect of knowledge.

"During the Zhenguan period, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was a master of calligraphy."

Liu Yunhe said like he was counting treasures from his family:

"Historical records indicate that Li Shimin loved calligraphy, and was especially good at official script. He was most fond of the famous calligraphy work "Lanting Preface", and he also had many calligraphy works.

For example, "Loquat Tie", "Jiang Shu Tie", "Hot Spring Inscription", "Cursive Screen Tie", "Yi Yun Tie", etc., each one is a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation. "

"In addition, it is Yan Liben, a famous painter. Do you know the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion?"

Although he studied science in high school, he had heard of Zhuang Zhou.

"Well, I've heard that they are the twenty-four heroes who were canonized by Li Shimin after he ascended the throne!"

"Yes, in fact, as early as when Li Shimin was the king of Qin, Yan Liben painted portraits of eighteen literati counselors such as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui. This is the famous "Picture of Eighteen Scholars in the Qin Mansion".

In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, he was ordered to paint portraits of Changsun Wuji, Li Xiaogong, and Wei Zheng, a total of twenty-four people. This is the picture of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion that was praised by later generations. "

Zhuang Zhou remembered that the last time he traveled to the Tang Dynasty was the seventh year of Zhenguan.

From this point of view, the picture of the Twenty-Four Heroes of Lingyan Pavilion has not yet been released.

However, the "Picture of the Eighteen Scholars of the Qin Mansion" already exists.

Zhuang Zhou made a mental note, thinking that he must know more about it after returning home.

Please pay more attention next time you go to Tang Dynasty.

After understanding so much, Zhuang Zhou finally understood.

These calligraphy and paintings can be very valuable if you come back with them in one piece.

So, he quietly asked:

"By the way, Lao Liu, have these calligraphy and paintings been handed down now?"

"No."

Liu Yunhe sighed sadly:

"Especially the authentic calligraphy works of the famous calligrapher Ouyang Xun. Apart from a few inscriptions, the only calligraphy treasure is also lost overseas. It is really a pity that there is no authentic calligraphy and painting left by such a master as Ouyang Xun."

"Ouyang Xun? Is this the person who wrote Kaiyuan Tongbao?"

Liu Yunhe nodded:

"Ouyang Xun is the first regular script calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. Together with Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang and Xue Ji, he is known as the four great masters of the early Tang Dynasty. In particular, "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" is called 'the best regular script in the world' by later generations."

"Eh!"

Zhuang Zhou sighed, looking very regretful:

"What a pity!"

After a pause, he asked again:

"Old Liu, if, I mean, if these authentic works are still there, how much would they be worth on the market now?"

"I really haven't thought about this."

Liu Yunhe pondered slightly and said:

"If we really want to put a price on it, it should be at least 100 million RMB for any one of these!"

"One hundred million?"

Zhuang Zhou was dumbfounded!

"Lao Liu, at the auction you just mentioned, can calligraphy and paintings like this be put up for auction?"

"Of course not!"

Liu Yunhe rejected it and said:

"These are special-grade cultural relics. Once they come out, they will definitely fail to sell, so they must be handed over to the state!"

Zhuang Zhou: "..."

Ok!

This is a bit embarrassing!

It seems that making money through calligraphy and painting is no longer possible.

In the end, it took half an hour for the two of them to finalize the partnership to open an antique store.

Speaking of which, Zhuang Zhou and Liu Yunhe also got along quite well.

Since the other party is willing to invest, let’s do it together!

In this way, your risks will be greatly reduced in the future.

With the backing of a large group company like Golden Hammer, I will bring back things myself in the future.

It is also convenient to go to auction houses, and sales are guaranteed.

Why not make use of such resources?

In the end, the two signed an agreement with Zhuang Zhou holding 51% of the shares and Liu Yunhe holding 49%.

After finishing the partnership matters, Zhuang Zhou remembered that he still had a few kilograms of gold that he had not yet sold.

Golden Hammer owns many jewelry stores, including gold stores.

There must be its own market for gold.

So Zhuang Zhou wondered if he could take action from Liu Yunhe.

"Old Liu, I have one more thing to ask you."

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

Zhuang Zhou stopped being silent and blurted out:

"Does your company accept gold?"

Liu Yunhe was stunned for a moment, thinking that Zhuang Zhou was going to say something!

"Collect it! You can also collect it if you don't have an invoice, but there may be restrictions on the quantity."

Zhuang Zhou said oh, he had several kilograms of gold, it must have exceeded the limit!

But now that the conversation was over, Zhuang Zhou stopped being polite and asked secretly:

"What are the limits?!"

When Liu Yunhe saw Zhuang Zhou continuing to ask, he looked at Zhuang Zhou with a smile:

"What? Do you want to sell gold?"

"Yes! And the quantity is a bit large. I don't know if you dare to accept it."

"Haha! Brother Xiaozhuang, looking at your expression, is it possible that it weighs dozens of kilograms? Then I definitely don't dare to ask for it."

"Not that much, just a few kilograms, and a piece of gold cake with the words "Made in the Zhenguan Year of the Tang Dynasty, Twenty Shi Liang" written on it.

Liu Yunhe's smile suddenly turned serious, and he urged:

"Where is it? Show me quickly."

Zhuang Zhou opened the backpack he brought, took out the twenty-one gold cake first, and handed it to Liu Yunhe.

Liu Yunhe's eyes suddenly became serious, and his whole expression changed:

"This golden cake was also passed down from your ancestors?"

"what!"

Zhuang Zhou made nonsense, and he couldn't explain the origin of the gold cake.

It can’t be said that he brought this back from the Tang Dynasty!

"What a great thing! Just this gold cake can be used to participate in the exhibition next month."

Liu Yunhe watched carefully for a while and then asked:

"You just said it's several kilograms, take it out and let me take a look!"

The other party has said so, there must be a channel to get this gold.
