The Book of Appreciation

In the end, Wu Di and the others did not go to see the night scene, because Yue Ge seized the opportunity to teach him and Yan Ju a big lesson about the loss of Chinese cultural relics. The old man clearly pointed out that although the smuggling of cultural relics is still rampant, the number of cultural relics that have been lost is actually not much.It is the shameful war more than 100 years ago that caused a large number of Chinese cultural relics to be preserved in museums in other countries!Over the past few decades, relevant state departments have tried to recover those cultural relics through various means, but no matter how hard they try, the results are minimal.

With the prosperity of the national power, a group of responsible rich people appeared in the collection industry.They tried to forcibly recover the precious antiques from China by participating in the auction, but the facts have proved that this is just drinking poison to quench thirst, and it is a dead end!

There's only one way to get back what's ours, and that's if you own what they desperately want!

When the old man said this, he looked at Wu Di with a half-smile and a firm and persistent tone,

"Only when we have what they want, both sides will have an equal right to speak!"

Go around, go around again, don't you just fall in love with my oil paintings?

"Old man, you really think highly of me. With my few oil paintings, you can have an equal right to speak? I think you should find someone else for this matter."

"Hehe, what's the matter? Look down on your oil paintings? Van Gogh, Cézanne, Dali, Shakespeare... Xiao Wu, do you believe it or not, if you give these things to the Forbidden City, as long as we show a little thought If you want to exchange, there will be countless museums waving ancient Chinese cultural relics in their hands!"

Wu Di rolled his eyes, the Forbidden City is the Forbidden City, I am me!Is it possible that you can still decide to let the Forbidden City use its precious collections to exchange these things with me?

"Xiao Wu, have you ever thought that at your speed, how many treasures they dream of will you have in five or ten years? I'm not a nationalist, and I won't say anything to make you donate everything This kind of nonsense, but you really haven't thought about it, have you led this exchange by yourself?"

"Exchange yourself?"

Wu Di frowned.No matter what cultural relics are, as the precious wealth left to mankind by history, they generally have a certain world name.In other words, a precious cultural relic will not lose its value because it leaves the soil and culture in which it lives.

But please note that it is a certain world name, that is to say, this world name is limited.Because the social environment, cultural environment, living environment, historical factors, etc. are not difficult to understand, the cultural relics of a nation are always the most precious in the eyes of the nation itself!

Wu Di owns several famous European paintings, but apart from the simple appreciation of art, these famous paintings are just a simple symbol in his heart, a symbol of possessing precious and scarce resources.It's a very different feeling from getting an old ancestor's treasure.

"That's right, you can try to exchange it yourself. Through the exchange between private individuals, or by setting up a museum yourself, and exchanging with those museums that have a large number of ancient Chinese cultural relics, you can get a large number of precious cultural relics. How about it? Are you interested? ? If you are interested, I can provide you with a list of exchange objects, and I can also guarantee that if you open a private museum, you will get a green light all the way!"

Wu Di shook his head, he was interested, but he had no bargaining chips!Although the few oil paintings in my hand are precious, if they only want to support this huge dream, then they are really daydreaming!

"Can you continue to pick up the leak?"

Yan Ju gulped, what the old man said seemed feasible.

"Brother Yan, don't you think that picking up leaks will be a sustainable development path?"

Yan Ju shook his head, but the old man smiled,

"It's really hard to say! If it's someone else, I'll just send him two words, dreaming! If it's your little five, hehe, to be honest, I'm looking forward to it now!"

Wu Di rolled his eyes, maybe, according to the current rhythm, maybe at the old man's age, the resources in his hands are estimated to be able to support a large-scale exchange.As for now, he shook his head, let's go on with his own happy life.

"Actually, you still have a chance, but I just don't know how sure you are. Anyway, Mr. Chang and Dean Han firmly believe that you can do it."

"What chance? What do you mean?"

"It's that antique gambling contest you mentioned last time. Think about it, if you could sweep away thousands of troops in the contest and win back a lot of titles such as "Mona Lisa", "The Last Supper", "Sleep Asleep" Are precious oil paintings like Venus within reach of your dreams?"

Wu Di was completely defeated by Yue Ge,

"Old man, that's your dream, okay? If I have such a big dream, how tiring would it be to live? I clamored for a big win at the conference, but it was clamor after all. I haven't even had time to go to my master to learn how to gamble! Besides, even if I become the God of Gamblers, and I'm so majestic at the conference, do you think those casino bosses can produce those works? ?”

"Yes! It must be possible!"

The old man was like an angry child, staring at Wu Di and refusing to budge.

"You really underestimate the energy of those casino bosses. Once you are sure that there are huge interests here, at that time, I'm afraid it's not them who ask for help, but someone else asks them! These things in the museum may indeed I can’t figure it out, but those treasures of the same level in private hands, they will definitely not be short of them! Xiao Wu, I suggest that you first apply for the establishment of a private museum when you return to China this time. It doesn’t need a large scale. There is such a Look, just enough to support your possible exchange in the future. This procedure still takes a little time, so prepare it first, so as to save time when you look at other people’s things, but because the direct exchange between private individuals and museums can’t be carried out, the opportunity is delayed!”

Seeing Wu Di bowed his head and remained silent, the old man continued to speak like a reed,

"Think about it, when you use that painting of "Sunflowers" to exchange back from the Pegasus Foundation a large number of precious treasures such as the Sangu Thatched Cottage Jar, the Story Pattern Yuan Blue and White Jar, the Colorful Long Pavilion Farewell Picture Stick Vase, the Glaze Red Group Pattern Apple Zun, etc. Ancient porcelain. You can exchange Shakespeare’s manuscripts from the Cleveland Museum for a large number of precious ancient jade pendants from the Hongshan Culture of the Neolithic Age, tooth-shaped dragon decorations from the Spring and Autumn Period, jade cups and plates with chrysanthemum ears and heron patterns from the Ming Dynasty, etc. When it comes to jade, that kind of achievement, that kind of satisfaction! Tsk tsk, Xiao Wu, the opportunity is here, we are old, we can’t help you much, but it’s okay to help you talk about these transactions in a private capacity Yes. Turkey and Iran are countries with the most diverse blue and white flowers in the world, how many pieces can you exchange for that glass bottle? Thinking about it makes people sleepless!"

Can you get back so many things?Thinking about it, it seems that there is such a possibility, even if it is purely based on the exchange of equivalent value, the price of these oil paintings in the international market can be exchanged for so much.Not to mention that these things still have a fatal temptation for these museums!In their place, Chinese ancient cultural relics are all packed into boxes and cabinets and slept in underground warehouses!

"Okay, old man, when I return to China this time, I will first register a private museum..."

"Xiao Wu, with your current collection, it is difficult to register as a museum. The main reason is that the number is too small. Otherwise, I can find someone to contact you. You can take a random oil painting and replace it with a large number of ordinary antiques. Besides? I am very familiar with Bernard Poussin, he is the head steward of the private collectors club in Paris, if you are willing to throw out your painting of Cézanne's "Still Life with a Basket of Apples", I guess they will all go crazy!"

Wu Di smiled wryly and waved his hand,

"Old man, this amount of information is really too much, you ask me to think about it, think about it..."

"Hey, boy, just think about it slowly. Like those European oil paintings in your hand, if you can get him dozens or even hundreds more, my old man will not go anywhere after retirement, and I will take care of them for you Museum! At that time, we father and I will have one master inside and one master outside, I don't believe we can't build a super cultural relic aircraft carrier!"

Super cultural relic aircraft carrier... Yan Ju's mouth can be opened enough to hold two tea eggs.Wait, let me go over it first, let's talk about the loss of cultural relics at the beginning, right?The next thing I'm talking about is Xiao Wu's pick-up, right?Then there is the exchange of cultural relics, but how can a super cultural relic aircraft carrier come out after changing it?

"Xiao Wu, I heard that you still have a few treasure maps that you haven't unearthed? How are you doing? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Wu Di was also overwhelmed by Yue Ge's words, his ears became hot, and his head became dizzy. When he heard him asking about the treasure map, he subconsciously shook his head.

"No, as long as they are still there, I will definitely be able to find them!"

"Okay! That's good! I have already discussed with your master, and I will introduce you to a gambling master when I return to China. If you can win the antique competition again, hehe, don't talk about super aircraft carriers. It’s okay to get you a private cultural relic empire!”

Wu Di wiped off the water droplets on his head, and stared blankly at the dazed face in the mirror.It's not that he doesn't have dreams, it's just that before there is no heavenly book, all his dreams seem so far away.

But when he got the Heavenly Book, he not only got rich in a short period of time, but also had a strong background. The dizziness of happiness made him lose his way for a while.

When he gradually came out of his confusion and thought he had seen the way of the future clearly, Yue Ge gave him another blow in the head!

Picking up leaks, betting on stones, spending time with his family and his wife, this is the life he once wanted, and the only life he thought he would like.However, Yue Ge's words outlined another world for him, yes, another world, a world that is completely possible to support because of the possession of the heavenly book!

Now, he is standing at the door of this world, so should he take this step? (To be continued.)
