Chapter 26 Hong Kong
More than a week later, Wang Zihao really brought his grandfather over from Hong Kong and placed the jade at Old Liu Tou's house. Wang Zihao became a lot more courageous and flew directly from Shenzhen to Beijing. It seemed that Wang Zihao was also an unscrupulous man.
, for the safety of his wife and children, he did not hesitate to let the almost eighty-year-old man go back and forth.
When he arrived at Old Liu Tou's house, Mr. Wang sat down tremblingly, talking nonsense and answering questions that were not what he asked. One moment he said that he had been Feng Yuxiang's subordinate, the other moment he said that the British Prime Minister had met him, and he didn't even listen to what you asked him.
At this time, Lao Liutou's face became dull. He thought that with a room full of treasures, he would be able to show his authority in front of the Hong Kong people, but unexpectedly, the old man seemed not to see it.
"Mr. Wang, do you really think your grandpa can wake up?"
"There has been a precedent for this. Last time, a friend showed him the Chinese characters of Wang Xizhi (Wang Xizhi). He sat up from his chair immediately and was conscious all afternoon."
Speaking of this, Zhang Guozhong suddenly remembered Zhan Ziqian's painting that his younger brother had copied. He might as well try it with that one.
Ever since Zhang Guoyi heard his brother say that the painting was a treasure, he didn't dare to neglect it. He directly made an iron sheet sandwich in the cabinet at home, which ensured rodent protection and was safe and concealed. This time when he heard that his brother wanted to use it, Zhang Guoyi took this treasure
He took it out and drove the director's "Volga (a relatively fashionable imported car in China in the early days of reform and opening up, produced by the Gorky Automobile Factory in the Soviet Union)" to Old Liu's house.
Just as Mr. Wang kept claiming that he had killed the Japanese in Nanyang, Zhang Guozhong opened the scroll and a yellowish ancient painting appeared in front of him.
"This..." Mr. Wang's eyes suddenly froze, and his mouth stopped drooling, "This... this... this... Zhan... Zhan... Dong..."
I saw that this old man was restless, rolled his eyes and went into shock.
This time Wang Zihao was frightened, and his words were very unfriendly. "I said, Mr. Zhang, what do you mean? My grandfather came all the way from Hong Kong, what do you mean?"
Zhang Guozhong was busy choosing the old man's choice and ignored him. Zhang Guoyi stood directly in front of Wang Zihao (Zhang Guoyi is 1.88 meters tall, it is not difficult to imagine the scene standing in front of Wang Zihao), "You tell me that the old man can do it if he sees the real thing."
Wake up, I brought the real thing, he fainted, you should bear this responsibility yourself, I would like to ask you what you mean..."
Wang Zihao originally wanted to show off his prestige as a foreign businessman, but such an iron tower stood in front of him and it collapsed. "I don't mean that, but my grandpa has fainted and you should call an ambulance. Look at it now. There is not even a doctor."
None…”
"What kind of doctor? My brother is a doctor. If he doesn't see well, he has to be sent directly to the crematorium!"
The two of them just started arguing with each other.
At this time, Mr. Wang woke up, gasping for breath, and his eyes were filled with tears.
"The picture of walking in the snow! I finally found it!" The old man looked at Zhang Guozhong and sighed, "I can't find anything after wearing iron shoes. It took no effort to get it..." Mr. Wang's Mandarin is better than that of Wang Zihao.
Quite a few.
At this moment, Old Liu Tou was also dumbfounded. Looking at this painting by Zhan Ziqian in Zhang Guozhong's hand, he looked at it carefully with a magnifying glass with trembling hands, "Brother, where did you get it from?..."
Zhan Ziqian's "Spring Outing" is known as the most valuable Chinese painting in the world, and is also the oldest preserved Chinese painting to date. However, according to unofficial legends, Zhan Ziqian's most famous work in his life is "Four Seasons", and "Spring Outing" is nothing but
It is one of the "Four Seasons Pictures". In addition, there are "Children Playing in Water Picture", "Falling Leaves Picture" and "Treading on Snow Picture". The "Treading on Snow Picture" in front of me is Zhan Ziqian's late work. Although it is worth collecting
It is not as good as "Spring Outing", but it proves the authenticity of unofficial history and its academic value is much higher than the painting itself.
"Old man, I can let you see this "Picture of Walking in the Snow" to your heart's content, but you have to tell me first." After speaking, Zhang Guozhong took the jade basket. "Tell me how you bought this piece of jade."
Where did the British get this, when did you buy it, the more details the better…”
The old man's attention was not attracted by Zhang Guozhong at all. He told the whole process of buying jade as if he were reciting a text, but his eyes were always attracted by the "Treading on the Snow" in Old Liu Tou's hand.
It turns out that the man who sold this jade, Lord MacLeese, was the son of a captain of the British East India Company. His family was originally very wealthy, but it gradually declined after his father suffered a shipwreck. This MacLeese was also a libertine who drank, drank, and gambled.
Thinking that he had a hereditary title, he followed a group of upper-class princes every day, and soon lost all his family property. Later, he stole and sold the things at home. Later, Wang Zhongjian went to England to learn antiques. This libertine with a keen sense of smell
The young master was soon introduced to Wang Zhongjian. He threw out the piece of jade and asked for 1.5 million pounds, saying that it was something used by the Jade Emperor (he thought the Jade Emperor was a famous emperor in China), but this was a lie.
No matter who he lied to, the person sitting across from him was not an alien, but an out-and-out Chinese veteran. As a result, McCris' lie was exposed on the spot, but lies are lies. After Wang Zhongjian's eyes, this unparalleled place
Although the good jade was not worth 1.5 million pounds, 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars was still more than enough, so after some bargaining, the deal was finally sold for 1.8 million Hong Kong dollars (this bargaining ratio of nearly 15 to 1 is similar to that of street stalls in some wholesale markets in China)
).
After Wang Zhongjian got the jade, he found someone to make a very elegant little shelf out of first-class red sandalwood, and placed the jade in the financial position of his home (jade, jade, crystal and other objects absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and are placed on the
In the financial position, it has the function of gathering wealth. The fish tank also has a similar function, but the effect is slightly weaker. The best way to gather wealth is the geode of natural amethyst, followed by jade and jade).
Although Wang Zhongjian is a businessman, he also has a deep knowledge of antiques. He once invited several friends who specialize in jade to appreciate this jade. Except for a man named Qin Ge, he shook his head and said nothing.
All the friends were flattering and praised the jade to the sky, but Qin Ge's performance attracted Wang Zhongjian's attention. Although he felt unhappy, he wanted to ask what happened, but he didn't expect Qin Ge's performance.
He went to Malacca the next day and heard nothing from him again. After that, Wang Zhongjian forgot about the incident. Later, when the Wang family moved, the incident that Wang Zihao mentioned later happened.
"Didn't that British Sir say where his old man got this jade from?"
Wang Zhongjian just shook his head, his eyes always staring at the "Picture of Walking in the Snow".
"I've been to the UK, and that guy named Mike is already wearing it..." Wang Zihao, who was standing aside, spoke at this moment, "I had a fight with Bie Yin in a bar, and he was shot to death by Bie Yin. I asked his family,
There is nothing wrong with keeping this jade in his house. It's very good. His family is not gay and there is such a thing in it. I don't understand why my family is so unlucky.
!”
"Who is Qin Ge?" Zhang Guozhong noticed this person.
"He is my grandfather's friend and an expert in the museum. However, I haven't contacted him for a long time. If you want to contact me, I can help you contact him..."
Zhang Guozhong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was obviously helping him, so why did he contact "me" again?
"Okay, Mr. Wang, this piece of jade can be temporarily placed at my senior brother's house. If you contact Qin Ge, notify me immediately. I want to see him!"
"No problem, I'll go right away. My grandfather entrusted it to you. His room is in the Friendship Hotel. You can just go and say it is Mr. Wang from Hong Kong..." Wang Zihao said, turned around and left the room. At this moment, Zhang Guoyi went to
There was a sign at the door, "Hey, Mr. Wang, we are not a nursing home. If you leave the old man here, who will be responsible for what happens?"
"Oh, I forgot..." Wang Zihao touched his pocket and took out a dozen of 50,000 Hong Kong dollars and put them on the table. "These money are of little significance. I'm worried now. This jade can run away on its own...
"As he said that, he made a flying gesture with his hand...
Money, money, money, looking at the "Taurus" that seemed to emit golden light on the table (a Hong Kong dollar thousand dollar banknote is called a Taurus), even Zhang Guozhong's pupils dilated. His monthly salary was 69.5 yuan.
This 50,000 Hong Kong dollars is enough for me to work for many years. I really don’t understand it for a while...
Two weeks later, Wang Zihao sent a telegram to Zhang Guozhong, saying that he had found Qin Ge and hoped that he could go to Hong Kong. When he mentioned going to Hong Kong, Zhang Guozhong was also excited for a while, but he couldn't bring it out yet.
After Liu Tou packed his luggage, the two took the train to Shenzhen.
At this time, a young man sent by Wang Zihao was already waiting at the train station.
Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liutou were arranged in a double suite at the Peninsula Hotel. Since Wang Zihao's new home is near Kowloon, it is relatively close to this hotel. (Since the accident at home, the Wang family has moved several times, and this residence is near Kowloon.
, one of the relatively quiet places to live)
The next day, Wang Zihao drove Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liutou to his home in a car of unknown brand. Zhang Guozhong, who had never even been to Beijing, looked straight in his eyes, but he still had to pretend to be a man.
He looked indifferent, and even if he wanted to look at some buildings or fashionably dressed girls, he was embarrassed to look at them more. To use a modern saying: The greatest pain in the world is nothing more than this...
In Zhang Guozhong's view, Qin Ge is a gloomy old man, the kind who doesn't like to talk or lose his temper, and who stabs people with a knife when provoked. Zhang Guozhong has never liked to deal with such people in his life, but this time
I have no choice but to do it for the sake of "Taurus".
"Mr. Qin...my name is Zhang Guozhong. Mr. Wang must have told me the reason why I am here this time." Zhang Guozhong took out the jade basket, "Do you recognize this...?"
After taking the jade basket, Qin Ge frowned, "I've seen it before."
"I heard Mr. Wang say that when he invited friends to appreciate the jade, you were the only one who didn't express an opinion." Zhang Guozhong took a puff of a filtered cigarette, which was really good. "I want to know, did you see it at that time?"
What kind of doorway?"
Qin Ge frowned and thought for a while, "I forgot..."
Zhang Guozhong was helpless, "Can you see now what's so special about this piece of jade?"
"I can only tell you, little brother, don't touch this thing." Qin Ge put his mouth to Zhang Guozhong's ear, "This thing has a dirty background. Mr. Wang has invited many people, but no one dares to touch it..."
"Mr. Qin, I hope you can give me some clues."
"Farewell!" Qin Ge raised his butt to leave. Wang Zihao was also dumbfounded. His face turned red and white. He spent so much effort and used his connections in the police to find Qin Ge from the United States. Why?
It's too disrespectful to leave without saying a few words.
"Slow down!" Before Wang Zihao could speak, Old Liu Tou stood up, took out a jade piece from his arms, and waved it in front of Qin Ge, "Master Qin, if you know that this jade is not clean, you must also recognize this one, right?"
?" The jade that Old Liu Tou took out was none other than the jade given by Master Ma. Zhang Guozhong also had a piece of the same jade.
Qin Ge looked at Lao Liutou's jade piece. He was startled for a moment, then his face turned gloomy again, "I don't recognize it." After that, he walked away.
In the evening, Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liu were drinking together without talking to anyone. They finally made a trip to Hong Kong, but they met a shady guy.
"Guozhong, can you show Ziqian's painting..." A greedy smile appeared on Lao Liutou's face.
"That belongs to my brother. If you want to tell him..."
As I was talking, there was a knock on the door, and I remembered it in a dark way, like a rat knocking.
