Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 776 The dust is like the tide and the people are like water

It is actually not difficult to understand this matter. The economy of Hong Kong Island has not undergone any substantive changes in terms of fundamentals. The current situation is actually more artificially caused.

There are not only the conspiracy of some forces, but also the worries of ordinary people about the future.

However, in the eyes of some bigwigs with a broad structure and clear thinking, such turmoil is, on the contrary, brewing opportunities.

But such a general trend cannot be reversed by a simple individual. It must rely on another general trend.

As Huang Zhan said, "Dust things are like tides and people are like water", but in every tide, there is always water that sinks into the abyss, and some water becomes the top of the wave.

It is obvious that Li Qiyan most likely wants to be at the top of this wave.

Or one of several crests.

If you want to get help, you have to let others see your attitude clearly, so how to express this attitude also needs opportunities.

As for the issue of the ownership of "Chunhua Ge Tie", I have to say that it is a pretty good opportunity.

Of course, all of this has a premise, that is, Zhou Zhi's speculation is indeed Li Qiyan's idea.

In any case, after this analysis, both Director Wang and Zhou Zhi felt a glimmer of hope, at least in the face of the competition between An Siyuan and Eiichi Ataka, they no longer had no bargaining chips.

Early the next morning, Li Lehai drove over again and brought Wang Limei and Zhou Zhi to the mountain.

Victoria Peak is actually divided into three districts. The foot of the mountain is the famous Central, and there is actually a Upper Ring; the mountainside is called "Mid-Levels", where some noble residences are distributed; the top of the mountain is where rich, successful people and foreigners live. mansion.

Here you can overlook Hong Kong Island and Victoria Bay. If Victoria Bay is a crown, Hong Kong Island and Kowloon are like two crown jewels.

In modern terms, this is a place with a unique geographical environment and cultural landscape; in old-fashioned terms, this is the "dragon vein" of Hong Kong Island, a treasured place for storing wind and gathering energy, and excellent Fengshui.

However, the current trend of land prices in the entire Victoria Bay makes people feel anxious.

The area above the Mid-Levels was similar to a concession in the colonial era, where Chinese and dogs were not allowed to enter.

The first person to live here, surnamed He, was offered the title of knight by the British Hong Kong government at that time, but he refused and asked to live in Taipingshan.

In the end, after a long time of hard work, the Hong Kong British government agreed to his request in view of his outstanding contributions, and still awarded him the title of Jazz.

Since then, Victoria Peak has become an area where Chinese rich and elites can also live.

After telling these stories, they became engrossed, but seeing Li Lehai's appearance, he firmly believed in them.

Zhou Zhiduo didn’t think that this place was chosen as a noble community not because of Feng Shui and fresh air. Hong Kong Island was originally a hot area, and there were many people at the foot of the mountain. The hygienic conditions and air quality in the old days can be imagined.

Rather, it is located in the high port of the bay, with a wide view, the sea breeze and sunshine have the effect of sterilization and disinfection, plus the fresh air, low population density, conditions to live here, the environment is far more conducive to people's health than the mountain.

However, I dare not say this point, otherwise I will definitely be despised by local superstitious people like Li Lehai.

Li Qiyan's villa has the best location in Taiping Mountain. There are dense green trees on the outside of the villa, and there is a swimming pool and golf putting lane inside.

It is said that this man also has a hobby, which is to let the little stars of Hong Kong Island come to play golf with him.

But when Zhou Zhi and Director Wang came in today, Li Qiyan was alone, without Xiaohua's company, so he pushed quite seriously.

Hong Kong people are greatly influenced by the British culture, and they also like horse racing, tennis, golf, sailing and other sports. Among them, horse racing, which has a deep connection with the gaming industry, is very popular.

Now some Hong Kong media close to the central government have vividly interpreted the policy promise of "no change for 50 years" as "the horse runs as usual, and the dance continues to dance", which is well known to women and children.

Li Qiyan is well-maintained, now wearing a polo shirt and a peaked cap, pushing the club lightly in the morning light of the bay, and he still looks like a star.

As the porcelain ball fell into the hole, Zhou Zhi and Director Wang applauded softly.

"Here?" Li Qiyan handed the club and gloves to the housekeeper, took the handkerchief and wiped his hands: "First go to my study and have a chat, then let's drink tea."

The guests do as they please, Zhou Zhi and Director Wang are of course obedient.

Li Qiyan's study room is very large, with a lot of books and collections. There are huge thangkas and Tibetan Buddha statues at the entrance. The silk underlay provides a stark contrast.

The pattern is very delicate, coupled with the gilded bronze statue in front, one can tell at a glance that there must be something particular about such placement.

If Master Dan Zeng came here, he would definitely be able to tell one, two, three, but Zhou Zhi didn't know anything about these things, so he was just watching the fun.

However, after bypassing the "gate" formed by thangkas and Buddha statues, Zhouzhi, the things in the study, can be regarded as an expert.

The calligraphy and painting on the wall, the porcelain on display, even the shelf for the books, and the cultural objects on the table are all cultural relics.

It can be seen that Li Qiyan had a special preference for the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou in the Qing Dynasty, especially Zheng Banqiao. The four paintings behind the reception sofa are all Zheng Banqiao's ink bamboos.

But one of Zhou Zhi looks a bit weird, the bamboo leaves are all out of the picture, which doesn't happen in Banqiao's bamboo paintings.

Seeing Zhou Zhi set his eyes on the edge of the painting with incomplete bamboo leaves, Li Qiyan showed a trace of shame: "The elbow is an expert, you can tell it at a glance."

"That's when I was young and ignorant. In order to match the four panels of Banqiao ink bamboo strips with exactly the same size, I cut the one with a slightly larger frame and some damage on the edges..."

The damage can be repaired, so you can save yourself trouble and have it laid off directly...

However, Li Qiyan cannot be blamed for this matter. His greatest contribution to Chinese culture is that he intercepted a large number of diaspora cultural relics on Hong Kong Island back then to prevent their further outflow, which can be called immeasurable merit.

Even now, the prices of Zheng Banqiao's paintings have just started. Back then, these things probably cost little more than waste paper. Li Qiyan was able to cut them up, frame them and hang them up. On the contrary, he really liked the performance of them.

Li Qiyan has a Confucian businessman, a scholar and a businessman, and they all come from him. There is no reason for this.

Zhou Zhi had no choice but to look away, and said with a dry smile, "Fortunately, it fell into the hands of Mr. Li, so we still have the chance to meet today..."

Li Qiyan waved his hand: "If you are wrong, you are wrong. There is no need to shy away from this. I hang them in the study to remind myself from time to time."

Zhou Zhi's impression of Li Qiyan was actually not good, but now he discovered that anyone who has made some achievements naturally has his charm.

Li Qiyan's desk is also very big. On the current desk, there are several pairs of gloves and two stacks of old calligraphy.

The two stacks of signatures are in the form of folded pages, one is tall and relatively new, and the other is old, with only four copies.

The size of the calligraphic posts is like a five-page large picture album, which is the purpose of this trip. The well-known calligraphers and cultural relics circles, Cheng Prince's "Linchunhua Pavilion Posts" and Bi Shi'an's "Chunhua Pavilion Posts" are the ancestors.
