Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

"Okay, put it here, put it lightly!"

Back at the Huashang Bank, Xia Yu took the antiques he bought out of the box one by one, and placed them or hung them in suitable places.

After the arrangement was finished, Xia Yu walked around the office casually, observed it several times, and showed a satisfied smile.

"Xia Yu, with your arrangement, the grade of the office will go up all of a sudden."

Wu Hongyi also turned around and said with a smile.

"Ha ha!"

"Come on, try the taste of the tea brewed in this Ming Dynasty blue-and-white porcelain teapot."

Xia Yu said, first took boiling water and scalded the teapot and teacup several times, then took out a can of Tieguanyin that Bao Yugang brought from Xiangjiang, scooped a small spoon with a wooden teaspoon, poured it into the teapot, and started Tea was brewed.

Soon, the four teacups were filled with crystal clear hot tea, and Xia Yu greeted Wu Hongyi, Li Qian and Li Wuming to drink tea together.

It was the first time for Li Qian to use this kind of teacup, so she carefully lifted it up and blew the cooling air gently, just like in an ancient TV drama, she scratched the cup with the lid of the teacup, and took a sip.

"Xia Yu, drinking tea like this is so interesting!"

Li Qian blinked her big watery eyes and said in surprise.

Seeing Li Qian's unpretentious look of joy, Xia Yu was overjoyed, and also picked up his teacup and sipped his tea.

“Good tea!”

"Xia Yu, your tea is so good, I didn't expect you to have such a good tea! It feels better than my grandfather's hidden treasure tea, not to mention my tea, it's completely sour water!"

Wu Hongyi is also a person who understands tea. He took a sip before drinking it, then took a sip and said with admiration.

Xia Yu said with a smile: "This tea was given to me by someone else. It was picked from the Tieguanyin tea tree of the Huaxia generation. I heard that it was drunk by the leaders of the Huaxia state. A friend of mine brought it back after he went to Huaxia last year. , he gave me two small jars, and this jar is for you!"

Saying that, Xia Yu put the tea pot in front of Wu Hongyi.

"Really? Tea for national leaders? Tsk tsk!"

Wu Hongyi's eyes widened,

Taking another sip, it seemed that he drank more different flavors.

"Really, I still have a jar in the manor, so don't be polite."

Seeing that Xia Yu didn't look like a lie, Wu Hongyi smiled, picked up the tea pot carefully, and said happily, "Then I won't be polite to you."

"What's the politeness between you and me?"

After drinking a few sips of tea, Xia Yu asked, "Hongyi, what's going on at the Treasure Pavilion? You have to tell me well."

Wu Hongyi put down the teacup gently, let out a breath of heat, looked a little dazed, and said with emotion: "There are indeed some stories in here, let me tell you a good story."

"At the beginning of this century, the Qing Dynasty was in turmoil. At that time, Hua Lao's family was relatively well-off. Because of special reasons, Hua Lao came to the United Kingdom with his parents to settle down when he was a child. Hua Lao's parents used their craftsmanship to open the Treasure Pavilion because of Hua Lao's parents' craftsmanship. The fire is pure, the porcelain produced is beautiful, and it is sought after by the British."

"Lao Hua started his parents' craftsmanship from elementary school. If there is no accident, he will carry forward the crafts industry. However, there is an accident."

"You also know that from the Tang and Song Dynasties until now, I don't know how many antiques and cultural relics have been distributed abroad, most of which are in Europe. Hua Lao went to the British Museum in the United Kingdom when he was a child, and saw my Chinese cultural relics displayed in the British Museum. The museum felt a great shame, and when I was a child, I made up my mind to do my best in this life to get the cultural relics back from foreigners."

"Hua Lao's parents also supported his ambition very much, so they invited several old masters to teach Hua Lao. Hua Lao is sensitive and eager to learn, and very talented. "

"Many nobles and wealthy families in the UK have antique collections, many of which belong to me in China. There are always some noble families who are destitute and sell their properties, and Hua Lao will buy them, or pick up leaks from some families in the British countryside."

"Although Huaxia's antiques are worthless in the UK, but the year is there, so it won't be a shabby price. Buying antiques from the homes of ordinary people in the countryside can still be bought at extremely low prices, but the British nobles are not fools. They want to buy the hands of nobles. The price of antiques cannot be the price of cabbage, which requires a lot of capital.”

"The income from the handicrafts of the Treasure Pavilion alone can't support Hua Lao's dream, and then he changed his mind and sold some of the acquired antiques to raise funds to buy the antiques from the British, but if the sold antiques return In the hands of the British, it is contrary to his ambition, so he has a rule in selling antiques, not to foreigners, only to Chinese, and also asks buyers not to sell to foreigners!"

"Of course, at the beginning, there must be some people who don't keep their promises. After Hua Lao found out, he summed up his experience. He can't guarantee that everyone will keep their promises, but he can sell antiques as much as possible to Chinese who are more likely to keep their promises. Generally speaking, The more powerful the rich and Chinese families are, the less likely they will sell antiques, unless they are about to break down. Therefore, Hua Lao is very welcome to every rich and big family who sincerely buys antiques and collects them. Good connection, our Wu family has bought hundreds of antiques from Hua Lao, and my grandfather and Hua Lao are also old friends."

"It is in this model that Hua Lao has been operating for decades, and he has traveled all over the UK and then went to other countries in Europe. He tried every means to acquire antiques, and only then did he accumulate the treasures of the Treasure Pavilion that you and I have seen. ."

"In the Chinese community, almost all of them have heard of Hua Lao's reputation and admire his ambition. When they have some spare money to buy antiques, they will always look for Hua Lao. Anyway, so far, I have never heard of Hua Lao selling a fake. The goods are sold to the Chinese, and the price will not be too high."

"On the contrary, to foreigners, Hua Lao always sells handicrafts at high prices, and never sells antiques. Foreigners don't understand China's extensive and profound culture. Naturally, they only look at the surface, but they like bright and bright handicrafts."

Wu Hongyi finished speaking in one breath, with a complicated look on his face, and took a deep sip from the teacup.

After listening to Wu Hongyi's remarks, the three Xia Yu were shocked, shocked by Hua Lao's great ambition and noble national integrity. This is a lovely and respectable old man.

At this moment, Xia Yu felt a sense of shame, ashamed of the idea of ​​picking up cheap and sweeping goods that appeared in the afternoon.

At this moment, Wu Hongyi suddenly sighed and said, "It's a pity that Mr. Hua has no successor, and his only son died unexpectedly. When he chatted with my grandpa last time, he was sad that his ambitions would not be inherited after he left. ."

Xia Yu was silent, suddenly he thought of Uncle De he saw this afternoon, frowned and asked, "Isn't Uncle De in the shop this afternoon Hua Lao's apprentice?"

Wu Hongyi nodded and explained: "Uncle De is the apprentice of Lao Hua, but Lao Hua said that De Shu has no ability to learn, and with De Shu's connections, he cannot inherit his career. He is not at ease."

"We Chinese also help Hua Lao as much as possible, buying antiques when we have spare money, so that Hua Lao has more funds to buy antiques from the British."

"But you also know that although antiques have the value of collection, they are more important now. Their own foundations are not well managed. Where can I have enough spare money to collect antiques?"

"If I had enough capital, I would definitely be willing to buy as many of Hua Lao's collections as possible, but unfortunately I don't have it!"

After Wu Hongyi sighed, he suddenly said to Xia Yu: "But Xia Yu, we are not strong enough. If you have enough spare money, you can buy all of Hua Lao's collections. He will never mind, but will be grateful to you. "

According to Xia Yu's performance this afternoon, Wu Hongyi also guessed a little of Xia Yu's thoughts, so he said this to Xia Yu.

Wu Hongyi's opinion surprised Xia Yu.

But after thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, Hua Lao's ambition is to buy as many antiques as possible from the British. If Xia Yu bought all of them and promised not to sell them to foreigners, it would be in line with Hua Lao's expectations. rule.

At this moment, the shame in Xia Yu's heart was swept away, and even more thoughts appeared.

After all, he knows what Huaxia's strength will be in the future, although now because Huaxia is looked down upon by European and American countries, he even thinks that Huaxia cultural relics have no investment value.

I believe that not only the capitalists in European and American countries, but also the Chinese have a similar view. No one could have imagined that in just a few decades, Huaxia would grow from the world's 70th or 80th largest economy to the world's second largest economy. worldwide.

In later generations, I don’t know how many European and American families took out Chinese cultural relics one by one for auction, and many of them sold for sky-high prices!

So now collect antiques, decades later, it is not a problem to appreciate a hundred times!

Definitely an excellent investment direction!

It's just that people in this era can't think of it.

If they knew that Huaxia's antiques could appreciate dozens or hundreds of times, they would still say that they have no money? Maybe the foundation can be discarded, and all of it will be thrown into the antiques.

To say that there is no money, in the final analysis, is to fail to recognize the value of collecting antiques.

But if others don't recognize the value of antiques, will Xia Yu, who came from later generations, not know?

After listening to Wu Hongyi's story about Hua Lao's deeds, Xia Yu's heart was shaken, and there was also a sense of pride in his chest.

As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Since he has this strength, and investing in antiques is a project that he has long considered to make a profit without losing money, there is no reason not to find a way to acquire more antiques and cultural relics from Europe and the United States.

Moreover, Chinese literature flowed to Europe and the United States. In addition to the trade reasons between Tang, Song, Yuan, and the next year, a big reason was that European and American robbers robbed China from the land of China at the end of the Qing Dynasty and placed them in the museum for viewing. It is the shame of every Chinese!

The antique cultural relics in the museum are difficult to get back, but the Chinese cultural relics that have been scattered in Europe and the United States must be taken back as much as possible. Now is the best time, otherwise after the rise of China, the price of Chinese cultural relics will be raised, and the difficulty will be increased. Unlimited elevation!

So Hua Lao's job, he helped!
