Chapter 759 No Money
"No need to give me gold. Brother Qi Yan is a man of ancient elegance in Hong Kong. He is also fond of Dharma calligraphy and rubbings of inscriptions and inscriptions. He is an expert in discerning and has a wealth of collections at home and abroad. There is no one like him."
Zhou Zhi couldn't help but secretly marveled. Mr. Qi almost dared to say that he was the first person in the country to collect legal texts and inscriptions. He was convinced, which shows how amazing this old man Li's collection is. .
"Minister Hu, you mentioned this "Chunhua Pavilion Tie"." Zhou Zhi now knew the power of Prince Cheng's "Linchunhua Pavilion Tie" and Bi Shi'an's "Chunhua Pavilion Ancestor's Engraved Edition" and asked: "Is it the collector who wants to take action?"
"We just learned the news." Minister Hu said: "Eiichi Anzhai from the island country is contacting Mr. Li. They want to purchase these two Dharma texts. .”
"Island country?"
"Eiichi Anzhai is a big collector of island countries. He attaches the most importance to our cultural relics, especially porcelain." Mr. Wang said.
"In fact, the people of the island country cherish our country's fine cultural relics very much. When Su Shi's "Han Shi Tie" was in Tokyo, they were still concerned about its safety during the bombing. They even said, "If Tokyo is burned, burn it." "It's good to leave "Cold Food Post""
The old man was a member of the National Cultural Relics Recovery Committee, and he traveled around the world for the return of "Cold Food Post" and put in a lot of effort.
“In addition to people from the island country, there is also the great collector Ellsworth Ellsworth from the United States, who is also very interested in these two dharma stickers.”
"An Siyuan?" Qi Lao frowned immediately: "Now we are in trouble."
"Is this a Chinese American?" Zhou Zhi asked.
"No." Mr. Wang shook his head: "He is a pure American. His mother is a singer and his father is a dental authority. He has been a great calligrapher and painter living in the United States since he was fourteen years old. He is also a scholar and Wang Fangyu, a collector, was introduced to the family, and he has been obsessed with Chinese art all his life."
"He started collecting stamps and gradually progressed to collecting snuff. In 1960, he opened the Gaode Gallery to engage in the antique business and gradually became the most authoritative international Asian art antique dealer. "
"Eiichi Anzhai likes porcelain, and the idea of hōtō may be accidental. To buy it, An Siyuan is a big collector of Chinese calligraphy works, not only ancient ones, but also works by modern painters and calligraphers.”
Qi Lao said: "So if he is interested in two sets of Dharma stickers, it will be worse than the island countryman."
The room was deserted for a while, and finally Zhou Zhi spoke first: " Minister Hu, so what does it mean?”
“That’s right, we thought we might as well go to Hong Kong. Dao, take this matter as an opportunity to contact Li Qiyan, and then introduce you to Li Leshan through him, who will take you to join the Unicode Alliance."
"Who is Li Leshan?"
“Li Leshan is Li Qiyan’s eldest son who is a professor at Yale University.”
"No..." Mr. Qi couldn't sit still after hearing this: "Don't take this as an opportunity. If Brother Li really wants to take action, then we can take back the two "Chunhua Pavilion Notes" If so, this is a great thing!”
Minister Hu shook his head: “Lao Qi, the country’s foreign exchange is still very tight now. I don’t have that kind of financial strength yet…”
“I don’t need much, I’ll write a letter to Brother Li and ask him to sell me some face, and we can collect two million US dollars…”
Mr. Wang shook his head when he heard these words. This is two million US dollars. Even if the Forbidden City and the National Museum go to Daliu Shu to search for articles, it is so easy to get it!
"That elbow..."
"I'm afraid he doesn't have that much money, so he bought two pieces of revolving bottles and forgot about them?" Mr. Wang said: "Those two things were picked out from the mouth of that girl Lin Wanqiu. Do you think they are Haitong's things?" Picked up? ""Then this..."
< br>"So Minister Hu is right, if we can get our elbows into that association through this matter, it will be considered as completing the task." Mr. Wang is not willing to get too involved, this matter has obviously exceeded Everyone’s abilities still need to be carefully considered.
Although Zhou Zhi’s assets are quite considerable now, two software and hardware stocks have been fully occupied after experiencing a sharp decline. Now they have soared, allowing Zhou Zhi’s assets to double again, now reaching 50 million. Dollar.
However, Zhou Zhi will not touch them, because Zhou Zhi knows that the prices of these two stocks are far from reaching the end.
So now he only has five million US dollars in his hand, which is still occupied by Lin Wanqiu. Zhou Zhi is really coveting the profits that Lin Wanqiu gave him. It's so delicious!
So although Mr. Wang did not estimate Zhou Zhi’s assets, he also estimated Zhou Zhi’s current economic situation correctly, which is that there is no foreign exchange available.
In the end, Qi Lao could only sigh: "Then go to my house first. I have several Dharma books of Prince Cheng there. There is a "Heart Sutra" at the same time as the "Linchun Hua Ge Tie". You can first become familiar with his calligraphy."
Prince Cheng Yongxuan's regular script is mostly based on Ouyang Xun, and he has studied and imitated Zhao Mengfu very deeply.
However, Prince Cheng doesn’t know if he has any aesthetic preferences. The knot is based on Ouyang Xun, but the strokes are far more graceful and elegant than Zhao Mengfu’s, and the overall body is slimmer, which makes the European style foundation Becoming more "gentle and well-behaved".
Therefore, compared with Zhao Mengfu's, his calligraphy has a feeling of looking at Liu's body and Yan's body, and it is also an experience of one bone and one muscle.
Prince Cheng has a quirk, that is, he is very stingy. Even when Fujin comes in, his dowry is taken away and he is put into coarse clothes, and silk is not allowed.
But I am never stingy in collecting calligraphy.
And the resources are so good that the Empress Dowager and the Empress often give gifts, so the family has a very rich collection of calligraphy works. The so-called "brocade axis toothpick" boasts of being rich, and he is also said to be a calligrapher. Empty nest, unwilling to leave the east field, still sighing at the flowers when buying. "
So he had a lot of advanced "textbooks" at hand at that time, so he mostly wrote Jin people's laws in cursive script. At least in the Qianlong dynasty, few people could do it better.
"What a pity." After reading the Heart Sutra, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but shout that it was a pity.
“Why do you say that?” Qi Lao asked.
“Due to the restriction of his status, Prince Cheng is always cautious, accepting more and releasing less. When it comes to calligraphy, he has more than enough inheritance but not enough creation. Although he has extraordinary talents, it is difficult to develop them.” Zhou Zhi shook his head. : "What a pity, otherwise his achievements would never be more than this."
"Although Zhuzi said that he has not practiced calligraphy for more than a year, it seems that the level of Guan Tie has improved." Qi Lao smiled at Mr. Wang and said: "At this point, we can discuss the art of calligraphy together."< br>
“Let’s go, then let’s go to Mian Tang Zhai to discuss this matter.”
The appearance of Miantang House has been greatly changed. The front yard was completely demolished, leaving only half of the flower wall as a "screen wall" partition.
In this way, the courtyard and patio are much larger, and the wings on both sides have become large rooms. The lobby room and the wing room at the bottom have become the master suite, conference room, study room and small conference room, as well as Warehouse entrance.
The entrance to the warehouse is from the small veranda outside the study room, and the entire rear courtyard has become a "museum exhibition hall."
