When one day, as a person who loves collecting, history, and antiques, you stand in a huge warehouse and face a total of 43136 ancient artworks of various colors, what kind of feelings will arise in your heart?

For Xu Wei, it was really pain and happiness.

The gold, gold and silver jewelry, and gems of various colors harvested in the Treasure Cave before have all been handed over to Zhao Jianguo for unified processing and sale.

Another small part, about [-] works of art, was held by Tang Qingyan at the auction house. The "Large Auction of World War II Lost Treasures", with a total transaction price of [-], All auctioned.

Naturally, during the auction, many well-known collectors from Europe and America, as well as local tyrants of various colors were invited, and several big businessmen in China were kindly sponsored, and each item was fired up to a very high price.

Now, what Xu You needs to study is what to do with these collections?

It is obviously impossible to pile them up in the warehouse like this, let alone whether they will be shot, just to ensure that these oil paintings, gold and silverware will not be damaged and oxidized due to improper preservation, Xu You will spend at least Tens of thousands of Huaxia coins are used for maintenance and anti-theft.

If things go on like this, Xu You bet that no matter how much jadeite comes out, it won't be enough to spend.

Chen Zhibei was willing to help with friendship, but Xu Er was not a man who could spend his wife's money with peace of mind.

Yes, spend your wife's money.

Based on the family funds of the two, they were almost all obtained by Xu You from gambling with stones, so Xu You has always stubbornly believed that he is the one who supports the family.

But the problem now is that I will spend [-] Huaxia coins every day in the future to maintain my hobbies, which is a bit unreasonable.

Starting from tomorrow, it is obviously too late to make money. It will take at least ten days to go back and forth to Myanmar, and basic funds are needed for gambling on rocks.

During this trip to India, in order to hire Dalits to work, almost all the working capital of the family was spent. In a short period of time, there was no money to use.

As for the money from the auction and gold and jewelry sales, Chen Zhibei was in charge, and all of it was distributed to Qu Feng and the others. In order to keep these works of art, the two really went bankrupt.

On Xu Er's side, he was so worried about the daily fixed expenditure of 1 yuan that his hair became gray, while on Chen Zhibei's side, a new drug was about to be launched, and it was just at the time when he was so busy that he didn't notice Xu Er at all. What about here.

When Xu You was debating whether to sell the few pieces of jadeite he had collected, Mr. Zhang called him and called Xu You to his home, but he didn't say why.

Full of doubts, Xu You hurried to Mr. Zhang's house alone.

Mr. Zhang lives in a French-style western-style building with a very characteristic of the times. This building is said to be the residence of a French envoy stationed in China before the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Almost all the influential figures in China at that time were found here.

The outside world once speculated that this was also a spies connection point in France, and a lot of useful information had been sent out.

However, now, this is just the residence of an old man who is about to retire.

After Xu Wei entered the door, he came to Zhang Lao's study very familiarly. There, besides Zhang Lao, there was also a very elegant middle-aged man.

West Lake Longjing tea is flat and straight in shape, emerald and slightly yellowish like brown beige, sweet and mellow in taste, elegant and clear in aroma, and the soup is green and yellow in color; the leaves are delicate and flowery.

Zhang Lao's West Lake Longjing tea has always been provided by a good friend of his, and it is also Zhang Lao's favorite tea in his life.

In addition, there are two servings of very small and exquisite refreshments, all of which are sugar-free snacks that people of Mr. Zhang's age can eat.

It's good to know that Mr. Zhang, who has always been known for his seriousness, has a hobby of eating snacks.

"Xiaoer, I'm just waiting for you, come here quickly."

As soon as Xu You heard Mr. Zhang say this, he ran over quickly and sat next to Mr. Zhang, facing the elegant middle-aged man.

"Uncle, you are looking for me."

"This is the mayor of Shanghai, the mayor of Shanghai. He is in charge of the economic and cultural aspects of Shanghai. He wants to see you. I, an old man, can just set up a line for you."

When Xu You heard this, he greeted Mayor Pei in surprise. He didn't understand what the other party was doing when he saw him.

"I have known for a long time that Mr. Zhang has a very outstanding junior. Not only in linguistics, he has become one of the only two experts in the study of Tocharian characters in our country, but also in antique appreciation. Collection Many priceless treasures comparable to national treasures."

Mayor Pei is very good at talking, and he praised Xu You so much when he came up. If Xu You didn't have a little self-knowledge, he would definitely be completely bought by the other party's few words.

But even so, Xu You was so praised by the other party that he didn't know how to answer.I probably won't be able to be a well-rounded person like Tang Qingyan in this life, Xu You sat on a chair in a little embarrassment, thinking at a loss.

Mr. Zhang naturally knew what kind of temperament his little apprentice was, so he interrupted Mayor Pei immediately.

"Xiao Er is a real kid, you old fritter, don't praise him anymore, otherwise you won't be able to do anything today."

When Mr. Zhang said this, Mayor Pei quickly explained: "Old man, I am so happy to see the young talents in our magic city. I lost my composure, lost my composure."

Mr. Zhang and Mayor Pei's father are old friends. Mayor Pei has often visited Mr. Zhang since he was very young, so the two are very close. Here, you are not allowed to bully others." "Naturally, naturally, you are my uncle, Xiao Xu is your apprentice, we are also considered to be of the same generation, I am the kind of person who cheats on my own people!" Mayor Pei said at the same time , while pouring a cup of tea for Mr. Zhang, it looked a bit, let Xu Wei say, a bit of dog legs.

Naturally, this is not derogatory, it is the kind of flattery of the younger generation to the elders, which is natural and affectionate.

"Xiao Xu, as I said just now, we are our own people, in terms of seniority, you should call me elder brother, and I, pretend to be tender, and call me brother.

I hear you have some World War II art there, right?Have you thought about how to deal with these things in the future?

I know that there is an auction dedicated to auctioning some of the works of art inside. I thought, there should be many more in your hand, are you planning to auction them all? "Mayor Pei's tone of voice is very gentle, but for some reason, Xu You always has the illusion that he is being watched by a beast.

It seemed that if he said something wrong, he would be bitten severely.

"There are still some, I haven't figured it out yet, the auction will definitely not happen, I thought, if possible, I will exchange it with other countries. Many things in our country are now lost overseas. If I can exchange some , is also very good."

Xu You's throat slid, and he talked about some of his plans with difficulty.

"Well, that's a good idea, but, little brother Xu, you are still young, and your ideas are somewhat immature. As for me, as your big brother, I have some ideas. How about we exchange ideas?"

Mayor Pei was very satisfied when he heard that Xu Er didn't plan to auction all of them, but wanted to exchange them for things. At least, he had a good sense of consciousness. In this way, the following things will be easier to handle.

"My brother, I also collect some antiques, all of which are calligraphy and painting, so I know a little about the preservation and maintenance of antiques. If I collect ten or twenty pieces myself, then I can spend some time on maintenance every day. But what about hundreds or thousands?

If there are too many things, it will take a lot of time to maintain them, and to preserve them requires a very good storage space. Ventilation, temperature, and humidity all need to be closely monitored.

Not to mention the need for protection, fire prevention and theft prevention, all of which need money. Although you earn a lot of money doing business with others, if you keep overdrawing, it will be a bottomless pit.

You said that you don't do anything good with your money, even if you don't spend it, you can still earn some interest just by putting it in the bank, right? "Mayor Pei is worthy of doing government work, and his words are very organized and convincing.

After listening to Mayor Pei's analysis, Xu Wei also felt that it made sense. In fact, Xu Wei had also thought about these things, and this was also the problem he encountered now.

It doesn't matter if you spend a lot of money every day in the future, anyway, after this period of time, the dividends at the end of the year will be in your account soon, enough for Xu Wei to support him for another five or six months.

However, as Mayor Pei said, although Xu You spent the money happily, it was indeed a bottomless pit.

"It takes a lot of money and effort to raise it, but to donate it, to be honest, even if you want to donate, few museums dare to accept it.

So, I have an idea here, let me talk about it here, and you, listen to it.

Our country has now issued a new policy to support 'sunrise industries' such as cultural communication and tourism.

There is a very good piece of land beside the Huangpu River in Shanghai. It was originally planned to be open for bidding, but if you want to build a private museum in Shanghai, I can sell this land to you at a market price of 1.3 million. "Private museum, this Xu You really has never thought about it.

In Xu You's impression, museums are public property.

However, there are indeed some very good private museums in China, and Xu Wei visited them when he was in the capital.Unlike national museums, private museums sell tickets, and the price is still very expensive, but many people still buy tickets to watch them.

Xu Wei never thought about it before, but now that he thinks about it, setting up a private museum can really preserve the art and antiques found in the treasure cave.

Among the tens of thousands of antiques, there are actually many Chinese antiques, which should have been looted by the Japanese army from the country.

There are not many things, and most of them are of great historical value and market value.

After these antiques were found, they were kept in one place alone by Xu Wei.

Originally, Xu Er planned to see if he would donate part of it to the museum, but if he opened a museum by himself, he could keep it all by himself.

"Certificates, it's hard to do."

Xu Wei seems to remember that someone said before that it is troublesome to run a private museum.

"No trouble, no trouble, now that the country has relaxed the policy, you don't need to worry about these, I can handle it for you here. All you have to do is to run the museum."

"It must cost a lot of money to run a museum."

Xu Er, who has no money and is now studying how to make money, asked in confusion.

"That depends on how big you want to build. My land is [-] square meters. You can build a medium-sized one. Of course, a large museum is better. In terms of budget, it depends on how you do it."

Mayor Pei only knew about the details, so he didn't go into details.

Although he didn't go into details, Xu You is also the major shareholder of a real estate company after all, and he has a little understanding of the construction industry.

A building with an area of ​​[-] square meters can't be built without a [-] million square meter building. Moreover, as a museum, it needs to be well protected against fire, water, and theft. It also needs to build a special house to store exhibits, which is more expensive than the residential building. more money.

The construction of a medium-sized museum would cost at least [-] million yuan, and now I have no money at all.

In Xu You's impression, the fastest way to get money is to either sell some of his own treasures, or to gamble on stones.

Gambling with stones is obviously more in line with Xu Wei's wishes.
