This is indeed true. If Ellsworth hadn't worked hard all the way to have fun, he wouldn't have achieved what he has achieved today.
Just as Zhou Zhi regretted Ellsworth's decision to auction off the Yaozhou porcelain that took many years to be neatly collected, Ellsworth also felt equally regretful that Zhou Zhi did not participate in the spring auction he helped plan, but everyone They are all sensible people who can stop laughing.
Using the hand holding the pipe to draw a small circle on the table with twelve small cups, Ellsworth sighed: "If you don't want to participate, don't participate. After all, you have gained a lot this time. "You probably don't like all my auction items."
"That's not the case. The main reason is that my family is waiting for me to come home for the New Year." Zhou Zhi quickly explained: "This time. The pursuit was successful thanks to Mr. An. If Mr. An is willing to visit our country, we will absolutely welcome him."
"I hope there will be another chance," An Siyuan handed over the pipe. He reached out his right hand to Zhou Zhi and said seriously: "George, young Chinese collector, welcome you to officially join the world market of Oriental art."
Zhou Zhi had no choice but to stretch out his hand and shake An Siyuan's hand: "Mr. An, thank you for your encouragement."

"According to This station has just received news that the relief statue of the Dragon and Phoenix King, which has attracted much attention from people across the country, has arrived at the Capital International Airport today and is going through the relevant customs procedures.”
"The relief statue of the dragon and phoenix king in the tomb of King Chuzhi of the Five Dynasties is the first time that our country has successfully recovered important lost cultural relics returned to the country through legal means. It also provides a new channel for our country to recover illegally lost cultural relics out of the country. Please see below what our reporter said Reports sent back from the airport..."
The screen switched to an excited reporter: "Hello everyone, we are At the Customs Entry-Exit Inspection Center, you can now see that two precious cultural relics have been unpacked, and the staff are conducting intense and orderly inspections on them."
"This is the State Administration of Cultural Heritage. Comrade Liang Minyi of the Security Department, Comrade Liang Minyi is one of the main persons in charge of this cultural relic recovery. Director Liang, please introduce the current situation. "
Liang Minyi is now in uniform, and his square and resolute face looks even more solemn: "In addition to the national attention, this cultural relic pursuit has also attracted the attention of domestic civil servants, compatriots on Hong Kong Island, and overseas Chinese. As well as the great help from relevant people abroad, everyone worked together and put in a lot of efforts, and finally the statue of the King of Heaven that had been lost overseas was returned to its ancestors. "
"In particular, the famous American collector Mr. An Siyuan, in addition to providing key evidence for the case, also donated the statue of the Dancing Phoenix King purchased from Hong Kong Island to our country. I also returned to China together. On behalf of the country, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all those who participated in and helped the King of Heaven return to China. ”
"Thank you, and thank you, Director Liang." The reporter came to an old man who was inspecting the stone statues: "Next, let's interview Mr. Wang Shixiang from the National Museum and Mr. Qi Lao from the Palace Museum. Mr. Wang, Mr. Qi, for the two You must be the happiest about the return of this statue of the Heavenly King, right?"
"It's really great, this is a big deal." Mr. Wang straightened up: "These two cultural relics, so. The material used is Quyang marble, and the techniques used are deep relief, ring carving, openwork and other processing techniques, and the whole body is painted with bright colors. It is useful for researching the sculpture style, traditional evolution and decoration technology of the Five Dynasties period. , are of very great significance.”
“Especially the coloring technology of statues. We know that starting from the terracotta warriors and horses of the Qin Dynasty and as recently as the Ming and Qing statues, there are coloring techniques, but at present. Among the existing cultural relics in the country, those that perfectly retain bright colors are very rare before the Yuan and Song Dynasties, and most of them are wooden statues, clay statues, and stone statues are even more scarce."
"So this is the reason. The two editions of statues have also filled a big gap in our research.”
“This is not what makes our older generation of cultural preservation workers the most happy.” Mr. Qi took over the topic with a smile. : “What makes us most happy is that our country now has a new generation of cultural preservation workers. They are not only proficient in their own business, but also understand laws, foreign languages, and international rules. They have their overseas social connections and influence, and they have Taking over from our old guys, I believe that the return of the Dragon and Phoenix King Statues is just a good start. In the future, more and more lost cultural relics will be returned to the motherland.”
"Of course, we would also like to call on governments and departments at all levels to strengthen the protection of cultural relics. Instead of pursuing recourse afterwards, it is better to block the possibility of criminals from doing evil from the very beginning..." "Second Elder, Where is the young man you mentioned? Can we interview him?"
"Huh? You are still here, but you don’t know where you went in the blink of an eye..."
In order to save phone bills, Zhou Zhi changed his mobile phone card to a local one overseas, and he did not need to use his pager overseas. Now, when I replaced the battery of the pager, the machine suddenly beeped non-stop. In the past month, the pager has almost exploded.
Zhou Zhi simply pressed mute. It is estimated that these messages are lagging behind now, and there is no point in reading them anymore. After thinking about it, I called Jiang Shuyi first and asked where she was.
Today is the fourteenth day of the New Year, and tomorrow is the day when universities start school. If Jiang Shuyi and the others want to arrive in Shanghai before the school starts, they should have started from their hometown yesterday.
Anyway, it was too late to go home before the end of the year, and the capital was not far from Shanghai. Zhou Zhi’s idea was that if his guess was correct, he would rush to Shanghai and meet the three girls there. Then take a flight from Shanghai to Yuzhou, and then return to my hometown from Yuzhou.
So after Zhou Zhi called Jiang Shuyi, he remembered that she might be on the train now and couldn't answer his call at all.
At this moment, Zhou Zhi’s big brother rang. When Zhou Zhi looked at the caller ID, it turned out to be from Fang Wenyu’s dormitory.
After picking up the phone, Marshal Fang's anxious voice came from the other side: "Damn it, you are finally back, elbow!"
"Commander, you have already arrived in Yuzhou? What about Shu Yi and the others, are they setting off too?"
"Jiu Zhu, please go back to Jiachuan and have a look." Fang Wenyu said anxiously on the other end: "Shu Yi It’s time to take a break from school!”
“ What?!" Zhou Zhi was startled: "Wenyu, don't scare me, what's wrong with Shu Yi?" "Don't worry too much, Shu Yi seems to be a little... psychologically stressed. It affects continuing to study," Fang Wenyu said. : "You haven't come back yet, and I can't contact you. I sent Xinyi and Xinxin to the train yesterday. Before I left, Xinxin told me that I would call you every morning and evening, so I was able to contact you!"< br>
"Psychological pressure?" Zhou Zhi felt very confused. Considering what Jiang Shuyi experienced in high school in the previous life, some psychological pressure is understandable, but in this life, under his protection, everything should be going for the best. How can there be psychological pressure if there is no direction to develop?
"Well..." Fang Wenyu hesitated: "You should go back and take a look. No matter how we explain it, we can't compare with you. Maybe everything will be fine once we see you."
"Okay, I’ll go back right now” (End of Chapter)
