Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

Chapter 67
Shanghai Airport.

There were two cages of soup dumplings on the table, and Yu Huiyin and Lan Huazhi each held one in their hands, and each took a bite.

All the meat buns are ordered, and the fat has congealed, so you know you have been holding them for a long time.But the two remained motionless, staring at the phone screen tightly.

It was an anchor who was broadcasting live at the entrance of the hotel. In half of the camera, the door of the Burford Hotel was closed, and there were four large characters on the light sign above the door: closed.

On the other half of the lens, there are several announcements put together.

The notification letter from the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the cancellation of the auction, Su Fubi’s letter of apology, the cooperation agreement signed with Burford, Quyang’s work permit, and the punishment issued by the District Tourism Bureau and the notice to suspend the Burford Hotel for rectification.

The barrage is like crazy, densely packed, but it's not about the hotel, let alone Burford, but about Li Ding'an:
"Li Anzhi is awesome. With his own strength, he just made a super-large auction."

"What's this? Didn't you see it? Even if you look at this hotel, you will be raped by him."

"Damn, this anchor is poisonous..."

Lan Huazhi doubted whether she had time-traveled?

Li Ding'an caused such a big disturbance in just one day?

If it's a little less, this auction will lose hundreds of millions, right?
After a long time, she took a deep breath in shock: "Why is he like Conan, where will he cause harm wherever he goes?"

Yu Huiyin gave her a blank look: "His phone is off, he might have come back, so are you going to Shanghai?"

"I'm accompanying you, not him? Besides, how could Li Ding'an be so fast?"

Lan Huazhi thought for a while, looked through the classmate groups on her phone, and found Lei Mingzhen's phone number after only sending two messages.

Then he called directly: "I'm Lan Huazhi, where's Li Dingan?"

"how could I know?"

"Okay, if he is dismissed by Peking University, it will be your fault!"

"I'm so... ouch..."

It seemed that someone had slapped her, and Li Ding'an's voice came from the phone: "Senior Sister Lan!"

Lan Huazhi winked at Yu Huiyin triumphantly, and asked again: "You are in Shanghai, when will you be back?"

"It will take a few more days, Senior Sister Lan, is there something wrong?"

"It's not a big deal, call me when you come back... Oh, where are you now?"

"Proud building!"

Deyilou, what kind of place is this?
While she was thinking, a woman's singing voice came from the phone again: "Don't say you are indebted, let alone hate, love is a testament to fate..."

The standard Shanghai dialect, babbling, Lan Huazhi only understood half of it.

Yu Huiyin sighed, and mouth-shaped her: "Teahouse, Shanghai Opera!"

Lan Huazhi gave a "sudden" pause, and was stunned.

What's going on outside? He's drinking tea, listening to a play?
After being stunned for a long time, she finally came back to her senses, and her tone was full of surprise: "Li Ding'an, are you really big-hearted?"

"Senior Sister Lan, I'll hang up if there's nothing else, and I'll call you when I get back..."

Just hang up when you say hang up, two beeps, and the call is interrupted.

……

Li Dingan is even more incredible than her.

After wandering around for a whole afternoon, he finally found out where the antique market in Town God's Temple that Boss Zhao was talking about was.

It turned out to be a teahouse?
I didn't even think about it, I just saved a thought that was less than a ten-thousandth, and asked a lot, but I didn't expect to encounter the same thing: the famous handwriting...

It was still an envelope and a few pieces of letter paper. At first glance, they were all new, not like old objects.This is also true when looking at the time: the letter was sent in 1979.

In fact, there is another reason: the boss kept it well, just like Lin Huiyin's letter before, it was still in 1930, and it didn't change much.

But this one is not Chinese, but English.After carefully reading the information on the envelope, you can know that the letter is sent from the United States, the address is Hong Kong Island, and the recipient is Tiffin Song!
The handwriting is very beautiful and a little small, so it's a coincidence: nine out of ten of the letter is also a woman.

On the other side of the table, Lei Mingzhen bit the barrel of a pen and translated the words word by word.

Li Ding'an was in charge of induction, categorizing the translated Chinese vocabulary into complete words.

As the tip of the pen swiped, strong and powerful words were reflected on the paper:
The bright lights on the mahjong table are also turned on during the day, and the diamond rings shine brightly when the cards are shuffled.The four corners of the white tablecloth were tied to the table legs, and the tautness made it whiter and whiter, dazzling white...

……

"She reincarnated and changed her mother..."

"Her red sun hangs upside down..."

"Today we will meet again, it is the life enemy meeting the dead enemy..."

After the performance of "Begonia", the stage was replaced by "Twin Pearl Phoenix".This is a famous obscene ditty from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. The actors on the stage performed vividly, with every frown, smile, anger, and indescribable charm.

"I can't do this job anymore... Could it be written by Lin Huiyin, see clearly, in 1979?"

"Can't it be other famous people?"

"Even if it is written by the wife of the President of the United States, how much is it worth? I might as well go to listen to operas, listen to storytelling... You can read it slowly by yourself!"

He slapped his buttocks and walked out staggeringly, Li Dingan couldn't laugh or cry.

Lei Ming really can't see it?
He studied in the Faculty of Arts, even though he was studying foreign languages, he had accumulated quite a lot of literary knowledge under the influence of the noise.

So it can definitely be seen that this is Zhang Ailing's "Lust, Caution". Although I didn't dare to think that it was Zhang Ailing's handwritten manuscript, at least it is not easy to guess the origin of this thing.

It's just that I don't want to have an identity with myself... If I help him, give him money at that time, will he want it or not?
He is not short of money...

Sighing and shaking again, Li Dingan continued to translate.

In this way, after almost an hour, he raised his head and let out a breath slowly.

nailed it!
He stood up again and looked around.

"Shuangzhufeng" has been performed long ago, and it has been replaced by Beijing rhyme drums, and "Battle of Changsha" is sung.

It was the same actress, with most of her makeup removed, and only a little drama makeup left on.Singing is still very nice, the voice is very bright, and a little crisp.

Lei Mingzhen was sitting closest to the stage. He didn't know if he was tired or something. He rested his elbows on his knees and his hands on his chin, and he didn't move.Take a closer look, good guy, the actress is wearing a cheongsam, and the slit almost reaches the thigh.

Hopeless!
Forget it, don't call him...

He picked up his cell phone and called Professor Wu directly.

"Professor Wu, I found another manuscript by Eileen Chang, and it's still in English!"

"Where did you buy it?"

"Shanghai Town God's Temple, Jiuqu Bridge Huxin Pavilion, Shanghai Old Teahouse!"

"Are you sure?"

"There should be no problem. I have compared the handwriting, envelope, postmark, time, and manuscript content!"

"Well, not bad... You haven't come to this class yet, but the material in your graduation thesis is one after another... Remember to take a few more photos."

"Professor Wu, that's not what I mean..." Li Ding'an couldn't laugh or cry, "I just want to ask if the school wants it. If not, I'll make another move!"

Does the school want it?
Zhang Ailing is indeed very famous and an excellent female writer in modern times. If her manuscripts are in private collections, they must be extremely valuable.But she didn't have much communication with Peking University, so compared to the previous letter, it didn't have any meaning worthy of the school's collection.

But after thinking about it, Li Ding'an would never ask such a question for no reason.Professor Wu asked instead of answering: "What manuscript is it?"

"It's Lust and Caution. She sent it from the United States to Hong Kong Island in 79. The recipient's name is Tiffin Song..."

"what?"

Professor Wu exclaimed, "Tiffin song, is this Song Qi?"

"should be!"

"It's not supposed to be, it's definitely, as long as you're sure it's Zhang Ailing's handwritten manuscript, and it's "Lust, Caution", and the recipient is also Tiffin Song, it's definitely Song Qi..."

If it is just Zhang Ailing's ordinary manuscripts, it will naturally have no collection value.But if it was "Lust, Caution" and it was sent to Song Qi, it would be a world of difference.

It's because Song Qi is also a modern celebrity and an alumnus of Peking University.More importantly, "Lust, Caution" tells the story of Peking University students' resistance to Japan during the Republic of China: In order to seek justice, they put themselves on the sidelines of a tiger, but in the end they fell short and died heroically...

It was originally a very tragic ending, but it has been changed to the opposite, but in terms of the impact and significance of the work itself, it is still extremely valuable for collection.

"Be careful! It's better to go through the normal channels, but the auction has been cancelled..." Professor Wu pondered again, "In this way, you can call Anbang directly, he knows how to operate!"

"Understood, thank you Professor Wu!"

"It should be me thanking you..."

After hanging up the phone, he thought about his words for a while, and then called He Anbang again: "Boss, I found something interesting. Please help me think about it. How should I deal with it?"

"Didn't you go to listen to books and watch plays? Why did you find something again... Well, what you said is wrong. What kind of things do you want me to help you 'deliberate'?"

"It's Zhang Ailing's manuscript, "Lust, Caution"...Professor Wu asked me to call you!"

"Here……"

He Anbang didn't know what to say, and was stunned for a long time, "You can come across such things? Li Ding'an, did you go to Shanghai to buy wholesale letters of famous masters?"

"Just luck!"

Just luck?

Let's not talk about this one, let's talk about the previous one. As a senior appraiser of Burford, how could Qu Yang be called an "expert", why didn't he find out?
"Understood, wait for me to meet with you, and then discuss how to operate..."

"I know!"

If it was before, Li Ding'an would definitely not be able to figure out the twists and turns, but now, he can figure it out somewhat.

When necessary, the money that should be earned must be earned.If you don't make money, you must promote your style, but it may not be a good thing...
