Chapter 766 Borrowing (4)

Since it is love, love is so easy to cut off.

Shen Guanglin rejected the middle-aged man's acquisition offer, and he was not short of money.

Besides, since this is the calligraphy and painting of the four Sumen scholars, it is naturally of great value.

You know, the four scholars of Sumen are Huang Tingjian, Qin Guan, Chao Buzhi, and Zhang Lei.

It was Su Shi himself who first called these four together and promoted them.He said: "Such as Huang Tingjian Lu Zhi, Chao Buzhi Wujiu, Qin Guan Taixu, Zhang Lei Wenqian and others are all unknown to the world, but Shi is the only prophet."

Now, the painting of Chao Buzhi and Chao Wujiu has been revealed, how much is it worth?

There are very few paintings by Chao Buzhi, and there are only two that have been handed down to the outside world. One of them is "Lao Tzu Riding a Bull", which is collected in Wanbei Palace Museum; Wanbei Palace Museum.

Other than that, there seems to be no other paintings circulating.

Especially this kind of poetry with paintings is extremely rare, and this painting by Shen Guanglin is the third one.

Huang Tingjian, who is also a four-time scholar of Sumen, sold for a high price of 2010 million yuan in 4.3. Shen Guanglin did not sell this calligraphy and painting by Chao Buzhi.

He belongs to the iron rooster, and since he has already held it in his hand, it is impossible to sell it no matter what.

"I'd like to give ten thousand pounds!"

The middle-aged man offered a relatively high price. He believed that [-] pounds was really not a small number for Chinese people.

"Sir, Chao Buzhi is not a particularly famous painter after all."

"Hmph, this painting tube alone costs more than ten thousand pounds." Shen Guanglin smiled.

Moreover, Shen Guanglin stroked the shiny black cylinder and turned it over to see that there was an ancient and rare treasure of the emperor printed on the bottom.

Hey, this is also the handwriting of Mr. Qianlong.

Not to mention anything else, this kind of patina can't get out without time. Although Shen Guanglin doesn't have much research on calligraphy and painting, he has a lot of research on antique furniture.

In particular, he also bought a batch of antique furniture from collectors of Tang Seng, among which there are many lobular red sandalwood.

I can't say much about Tang Seng's collection, it is easy to be 404.
Seeing that the idea of ​​acquisition could not be realized, the middle-aged man changed another way

"Sir, do you think this is okay? I will offer you five thousand pounds to lend us your painting for a month."

The middle-aged man bowed his head again and again, with a humble and polite look, which was very good at gaining people's favor.

However, Shen Guanglin naturally didn't believe it, "What if it's lost."

"After one month, the original painting will be returned. If it is lost, we are willing to compensate 10, oh no, 100 million pounds." The middle-aged man vowed to make a guarantee, and said that he can buy commercial insurance to ensure nothing goes wrong.

This kind of routine has existed for a long time, and Shen Guanglin saw through his plan at a glance.

Needless to say, if the painting was really loaned out, at best they would pay back some pounds, and at worst they would pay nothing at all.

"Oh, I'm not short of money." Shen Guanglin rejected such a proposal without even thinking about it, and gave the waiter the 100 pounds just now. This is a forceful performance.

The middle-aged man wanted to continue asking, but was stopped by the waiter who took the tip.

This is a Marriott and privacy is important unless you can come up with £200.

The persistence of the Fusang people must not be underestimated, and he really took out 200 pounds.

No, Shen Guanglin didn't pay much attention to it when he returned to his room. After admiring Chao Buzhi's paintings, he went out.

Shen Guanglin took Li Li out for dinner and went to a foreign restaurant.

The unpalatable level of English meals is amazing, and their cooking can be described in one word - "Simple" (simple).

There are only two ways to make British food: bake it in the oven, or cook it in a pot.

When they cook, they like not to put any condiments, and when they eat, they add some salt, pepper or mustard, spicy soy sauce and so on according to their personal preferences.

Moreover, the ingredients for their dishes are relatively simple. Although this country is an island country with a vast sea area, limited by geographical and natural conditions, the fishing grounds are not very good, so the English people do not pay much attention to seafood, but prefer beef, mutton, poultry etc.

Shen Guanglin took Li Li to a French restaurant and ate foie gras, big snails, and caviar.

However, when they came back, the calligraphy and paintings in the room had disappeared, and there were staff members from the office waiting for him.

In fact, the staff in the office are also very puzzled, can Chinese people afford Marriott?

And it came with expensive calligraphy and paintings, could it be a cultural relic dealer?

After all, it was an official agency that called the police, and the other party was from Huaxia, so the hotel expressed its willingness to cooperate.

Just like that, they entered Shen Guanglin's hotel room and took away the calligraphy and paintings.

After Shen Guanglin returned to the room, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Professor Shen, it's you!"

The staff naturally knew Shen Guanglin, and they were not blind. Of course they knew about such a big event as Shen Guanglin bringing the exchange group to London, and they were also doing intermediary work.

Didn't the hotel staff say who lived here?How did you get in here?
Shen Guanglin didn't believe it.

"What do you need from me? How did you get in here?"

The staff apologized to Shen Guanglin with a blushing smile.

"Someone said that a Chinese man with valuable calligraphy and paintings lives in this hotel. The superior asked me to come over to see what's going on, whether it's smuggling. I didn't expect you to live here."

The staff member was surnamed Zhang, and explained the purpose of his visit.

In fact, they said that they were with Shen Guanglin and they wanted to help Shen Guanglin check the room, so the hotel staff opened the door.

He said that he admired Professor Shen very much, and he didn't know beforehand that this was Professor Shen's room.

"You all found my room, don't you know that I live in it? And, where are my calligraphy and paintings?"

Shen Guanglin didn't believe this at all.

"Also, how do you know that I have valuable calligraphy and paintings? How do you know which room I live in? How dare you not know anything after finding it so accurately?"

Shen Guanglin was really angry.

Now, he is going to complain to the Marriott Hotel again, casually leaking the privacy of the guests, and allowing outsiders to come to the door at will, what does this mean?What kind of hotel is this.

With such hotel services, Shen Guanglin has no reason not to complain about them.

If the calligraphy and paintings of labor and management are lost, you will be liable for compensation!

Xiao Zhang saw that his apology was not working, so he quickly stammered and told the whole story honestly.

"About a small day, a Fusang man who lived a good life said that he found the office and said that he wanted to borrow your painting for an exhibition. They offered 5000 pounds, and the counselor agreed, and they took it away. I finished painting, let me stay and wait for you."

Xiao Zhang also avoided the important things when he talked, and really kept the receipt of 5000 pounds and the cash of 1000 pounds.

"Who agreed? Why did the counselor agree? This is my painting, and you just took it away?"

Shen Guanglin became even more angry.

"Just borrow it for a month."

Borrow your sister!

A person you don't know can actually help you make a decision, you are used to it, right?

Also, what about the hotel.

Shen Guanglin stopped talking to Xiao Zhang.

He called the Marriott headquarters directly and said, Professor Shen checked into your Marriott hotel, but the valuable painting in the room was lost, worth 1000 million US dollars, what should you do?
