Quick-travel system: The host is having a blast in the small world

The next day, Lin Dai got up refreshed, packed herself up, put on a big backpack, and took a taxi to the agreed location.

When we arrived at the villa, we found that the surrounding environment was particularly quiet and beautiful. It was really nice to drink tea and chat here.

There were several bodyguards in black standing at the door. Is this how a teahouse should be? Shouldn't the people standing at the door be the receptionists? One of them came over and asked if she was Miss Lin. Lin Dai nodded, and the man led her to the private room. Lin Dai found that it was really quiet inside, so quiet that there was no one there.

The door of the box was opened, and as soon as Lin Dai entered, the three old men looked at her in unison. Old Gu even greeted her warmly as "Little Lin": "Come in and sit down." Was he trying to get close to her?

"Mr. Gu, Mr. Qian, Mr. Wang, the three seniors have arrived first again. I am so embarrassed for the younger generation." Lin Dai sat down. Normally, the younger generation should pour tea for the elders, but they didn't give them the chance.

"It's okay, it's okay, we were just anxious and came early." Mr. Gu said as he poured a cup of tea for Lin Dai. Lin Dai took a sip of the tea: Good tea.

"Seniors, have you found any results for the volume of Women's Admonitions?"

"That's right. After we went back, we found a few more experts. After a series of research and identification, we confirmed that this scroll of Women's Admonitions is Gu Kaizhi's authentic work. After confirming it, everyone was very excited. There were a few people who wanted to come with us today, but they were afraid that too many people would be too abrupt, so they didn't let them come."

"Well, now that it's confirmed, isn't there an auction at Gu Lao Auction House soon? Can I participate?"

The three old men looked at each other, their faces becoming very solemn. After hesitating for a while, Old Wang spoke up: "Ms. Lin, are you sure you want to auction this item?"

"Well, I know what you mean. This is not only an antique but also a precious historical relic. It is a witness to history and the best place for it is a museum. In this case, the country can also participate in the auction. You can't just let me give it away for nothing. You seniors should know how valuable this painting is." After Lin Dai finished speaking, she carefully observed the expressions of the elderly people.

Old Wang picked up the teacup and drank the tea, while Old Qian held a pipe in his mouth and took two deep puffs. No one said anything. They knew very well that Lin Dai was right. There was no shortage of rich people in the world nowadays. If it were sold at an auction, it might very well be worth tens of billions. They would not be willing to let others give away tens of billions for nothing.

Lin Dai looked at them in silence and just drank her tea. In fact, she had already made a decision in her mind, but she was just waiting for them to speak first.

After a while, Mr. Wang sighed deeply: "Miss Lin is right, what a pity."

Lin Dai chuckled and said, "If Mr. Wang likes it, you can buy it."

"Hey, I can't afford it."

"Mr. Wang, you misunderstood. I meant that Mr. Wang represents the National Museum. The country must be rich."

"That won't work either. Although the museum belongs to the country, the country spends too much every year on archaeology, maintenance and conservation of cultural relics. We don't have that much money to spend another tens of billions." Old Wang sighed, his face full of regret.

"Hey~ I didn't price this scroll at hundreds of millions, or even billions."

Several elderly people didn't understand what she meant, and they all looked at Lin Dai. Old Gu asked hurriedly, "Girl, what do you mean by this?"

Lin Dai clenched her fists, coughed, and said with a smile, "If Mr. Wang is willing to buy it on behalf of the National Museum, then he will have priority to buy it. There is no need to participate in the auction. We can just do the transaction privately."

"Really? How much is it?"

Lin Dai held up three fingers and said, "3 million!"

After hearing this, Mr. Wang took a sip of tea and thought about it. Seeing this, Lin Dai deliberately said loudly: "No way, Mr. Wang, 3 million is too much?"

"No, not much. This scroll is worth much more than that. But I still need to think about it carefully."

"Oh, what are you thinking about, old man Wang? How precious is this painting? If you don't want it, I will." Old Qian was anxious. You are given 3 million for this painting worth more than billion yuan. You still need to consider it? Only a fool would not want it.

Mr. Wang quickly stopped him and explained, "No, no, you can't buy it. I didn't say I wouldn't buy it. I can't make the decision on my own with so much money. I have to report it to the higher-ups. After all, I belong to the government, not you."

"That's fine. Mr. Wang, you have to make it clear to the higher-ups that I'm offering a buy one get one free deal."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that if the National Museum buys this scroll, I will give it another cultural relic. The value of this thing is more precious than the "Women's Admonitions"." Lin Dai said mysteriously.

"How is that possible? Something like the 'Female Admonitions' is already precious and rare enough, and you have something even more precious in your hand. What is that?" After Mr. Wang finished speaking, the other two old men nodded to indicate that this was indeed the case, but they were also full of curiosity.

"Whether it is true or not, you seniors will know after taking a look together. I have brought it with me." He took out a large square box from his backpack and placed it on the empty table: "Mr. Wang, please open it."

Several old men stood up at the same time and saw the exquisite wooden box again. After opening it, the three old men stared at the things in the box without saying a word.

Lin Dai frowned and looked at the seniors: "No way, seniors, you don't know this, do you? Take a closer look and think about it carefully."

The three old men gathered around the box, took out their magnifying glasses and flashlights, and carefully observed it for a while. They looked at each other and wondered if it was something. Their faces were filled with disbelief, their eyes were filled with strong shock, and their minds were filled with uncertain thoughts. They carefully observed it again, talking as they watched, and their hearts became more and more excited, and the idea became more and more intense.

Finally, they all looked at Lin Dai. Lin Dai looked at the elderly people. They looked like little kids and were a little cute. She smiled and nodded and said with certainty: "Yes, this is the Jinsha Sun Bird from 2500 years ago. It is absolutely authentic."

Several elderly people were so excited that their hands were shaking and they wanted to touch but didn't dare. Old Gu grabbed Old Wang's hand and said, "Old Wang, tell me this must be true."

Elder Wang also said excitedly: "We can't be completely sure now, but based on our observations and Miss Lin's words, it is almost certain to be true."

"That's great. Old Wang, aren't you short of money? Forget it this time. Let me buy it. You can buy it next time when you have a chance." Old Qian said cheeringly.

"No, who said I don't want it? Go away. Miss Lin is not Miss Lin. We agreed to sell it to our National Museum. You can't go back on your word." Old Wang couldn't wait to confirm with Lin Dai, as if he was afraid that she would go back on her word.

Lin Dai hurriedly comforted them and said with certainty: "Yes, yes, I won't regret it. Seniors, please come and sit down, and we will discuss it in detail." After that, she poured tea for everyone.

"Mr. Wang, you can take the Jinsha Sun Bird back for a thorough appraisal. After the appraisal, report to your superiors. But you have to think carefully. The Jinsha Sun Bird is worth at least 3 billion yuan if it is auctioned, and more than billion yuan. Now the National Museum only needs million yuan to buy these two cultural relics. It's a pie in the sky."

"It's not just pie in the sky, it's filled with meat." Old Qian said jokingly.

Of course Mr. Wang knew about this and nodded repeatedly: "Of course, of course, girl, you must not auction it off."

"Don't worry, I keep my word."

At this time, Mr. Qian was a little confused: "Girl, can you tell us why? These two cultural relics were sold so cheaply and simply?"

"Mr. Qian, it's not that simple. I'm just selling them to the country. To be honest, I just want to send them back to where they belong in this way. If it were someone else, I'd ask for a real price. So Mr. Qian, if you want to buy them, you'll probably have to pay the original price!"

"Hahaha, okay, thank you on behalf of the National Museum." Mr. Wang was very excited at this moment, and he wanted to go back and report to his superiors and buy it quickly.

"Mr. Wang, please don't be in a hurry to thank me. This matter has not been finalized yet. It won't be too late to thank me after you have made the final assessment."

"It's okay, it's almost done."

Several elderly people were happily drinking tea, and from time to time they talked about when they would go to the museum to see these cultural relics and how to promote them.

Seeing that things were almost done, Lin Dai wanted to ask a few seniors for help: "Seniors, I have something that I need your help with, is it possible?"

"Girl, tell us, we will definitely help if we can." Several elderly people agreed.

"It's not a big deal for you guys. I'm not from Kyoto and I don't know much about this place. I want to buy a house here and I may live in Kyoto for a long time in the future."

"That's it, no problem. Mr. Qian can do it, he has a way." Mr. Gu first pushed Mr. Qian forward, because their family has someone in the real estate business.

"Really? Mr. Qian?"

"That's no problem, what do you want?"

"I want to buy a large flat of about 5 to 600 square meters, with a good location and environment. It doesn't need to be pre-decorated. I want to decorate it according to my own ideas and I'm not in a hurry to move in. The total budget is about million!"

"Okay, leave this to me, I'll arrange it."

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Qian." Everything was done. To express her gratitude, Lin Dai invited several seniors to have a good meal: "By the way, seniors, it's already noon. I'll treat you to a meal."

"Okay, let's eat here. The environment here is pretty good."

Lin Dai was surprised and asked, "Isn't this a teahouse? Can we eat here?"

"Hahaha, most people can't do that, but we can."

Afterwards, the group had a meal at the teahouse. The food tasted really good, and it was indeed not open to the public.

Perhaps it was out of respect from several seniors, or perhaps it was because one of the seniors had given instructions, but before leaving, the tea house manager gave Lin Dai a membership card, welcoming her to dine at any time.

After dinner, Lin Dai left in the car arranged by several bigwigs.
