Chapter 529： 100 million pounds with a vertical finger

After making up his mind, Xia Yu didn't yell to the outside world.

He prefers to prove with actions rather than speaking with his mouth.

So in the following days, Xia Yu would go to the Zhenbao Pavilion only when he was free, because Xia Yu was brought here by Wu Hongyi, and he said that he was strong, and Hua Lao had a more enthusiastic attitude towards Xia Yu.

Every time Xia Yu went to the Treasure Pavilion, he would buy a few antiques and go home. During the chat, Xia Yu also silently revealed that he wanted to collect antique collections and accumulate a comeback family for future generations.

And Xia Yu also said that if possible, he would like to build a top-notch private museum in Xiangjiang, so that overseas Chinese can understand the colorful culture of China for five thousand years.

Xia Yu found that after his thoughts were spoken out, Hua Lao was more friendly to him. Since then, each time he comes, Hua Lao is very warm and entertaining, and the two can talk about antiques for a long time.

Of course, the two chatting, mainly Xia Yu asked, Hua Shengshi said that when it comes to rising, Hua Shengshi will take Xia Yu upstairs and bring out specific antiques to explain. Xia Yu always listens very carefully.

However, Huashengshi is so old and fine, and Xia Yu did not hide it, so Huashengshi also saw some of Xia Yu’s thoughts, but he kept a close eye on both people and things, so even though he and Xia Yu had a feeling of meeting each other late. , And Wu Hongyi also talked about the identity of Xia Yu.

But when it comes to the thought in his heart, Huashengshi dare not make up his mind easily, worrying about being entrusted.

Of course, he was not inactive, secretly using Xiangjiang's friends to help him understand Xia Yu's relevant information, what others said, after all, he did not have a reliable understanding of it.

Ancient celebrity calligraphy and painting are not only liked by rich people, but also by cultural people. Over the past few decades, Huashengshi has also made many Xiangjiang friends, but most of them are literati, such as university teachers or professors.

Fearing that it was not clear on the phone, Huashengshi asked several friends of Xiangjiang to give them time to understand the relevant information clearly, the more detailed the better, and then mail it to him as soon as possible.

On the day of January 10, 1979, Huashengshi finally received emails from several friends.

That afternoon, Hua Shengshi opened a friend's parcel in the inner hall of Zhenbao Pavilion, which contained a thick pile of mail.

After making a pot of tea, Hua Shengshi watched it slowly.

He devoted himself to this, and I didn't know the time passed. When Hua Shengshi raised his head in shock, it had been more than two hours.

It seemed that he was shocked by the information of Xia Yu. Huasheng Shi was silent for a long time before returning to his senses. He said with emotion: "There is such a genius in the world. I thought he was a rich child of Xiangjiang. He is a grassroots man from scratch!"

"Furthermore, the rising land is too fantastic. Although there are traces to follow, ordinary people can't replicate it at all. Is he God's son?"

Thinking of several old friends at the end of the letter, they stated that what they knew was not comprehensive. It was Xia Yu’s public strength. Xia Yu’s real strength was definitely more than that. No one in Xiangjiang could figure it out, so he told Hua. Prosperity should be treated seriously.

It's fine for a person to say so, and several old friends reminded it like this, Hua Shengshi naturally attaches great importance to it.

After learning about Xia Yu's information, Hua Shengshi completely believed in Xia Yu's words, knowing that what he said to him before was not just talking, and the logic made sense.

Xia Yu rises from the grassroots. If you want to build a family, you must have a foundation.

The wealthy families in ancient times inherited their families with knowledge, and there is absolutely no shortage of cultural relics.

Today's wealthy families have their own heritage, and the most representative of the heritage is undoubtedly antiques and gold.

Both of them are the heritage of the same family.

Xia Yu wants to build a family, and strengthen the future family's resistance to the risk of decline, and accumulate capital for a comeback. Collecting antiques is undoubtedly the right choice.

And Xia Yu’s antiques will never be sold easily. With Xia Yu’s current strength, there is no need to worry about selling them for at least a few decades.

As for what Xia Yu said about building a top private museum in Xiangjiang, in Huashengshi's view, it is entirely possible with Xia Yu's strength.

...

In the evening, in Xia Yu's country manor, Xia Yu held Li Qian and watched the news of the BBC.

Seeing the boring part, I randomly pressed the remote control to switch channels, but didn't find which program I wanted to watch.

Xia Yu simply gave the remote control to Li Qian, talked to Li Qian, and went to take a bath.

Due to martial arts reasons, Xia Yu's physique is very good, whether it is winter or summer, he washes in cold water. At this time, the cold water washes down from the top of his head, and the traces of fatigue from a busy day are instantly eliminated.

"Count the time, it should be here today."

After taking a shower, Xia Yu remembered about Antique again.

Xiangjiang is his site. Ma Qianjun took the money, and the intelligence network he built immediately covered Xia Yu's industry, and then he expanded abroad.

Hua Shengshi asked a few old friends from Xiangjiang to help him collect Xia Yu's news. Those old friends were all teachers or professors. Naturally, they had to ask others to collect information.

In this way, the news was revealed, and it was naturally known to the net for the first time.

After investigating and analyzing, Ma Qianjun finally knew the reason and called Xia Yu the first time.

Knowing that Hua Shengshi was inquiring about him, Xia Yu was not only not angry, but in a happy mood, because he knew that Hua Shengshi had an idea in his heart, otherwise he would not secretly make great efforts to understand his information.

Xia Yu is confident that as long as Hua Shengshi understands his strength, and then he proposes it, it will not appear abrupt.

The day before yesterday, Luo Wang's people monitored that Hua Shengshi's friend sent the mail, and Xia Yu knew it immediately.

Counting the time now, it's time for today.

Xia Yu knew that the right opportunity had finally come!

In the afternoon of the next day, Xia Yu came to Zhenbao Pavilion again.

Seeing Xia Yu's arrival, Huasheng Shi who was in the store immediately greeted Xia Yu with a smile: "Mr. Xia, you are here, please come inside!"

"Old Hua, good afternoon!"

Under deliberate observation, Xia Yu found that Hua Shengshi's attitude was indeed different. He was determined and said with a smile on his face.

Then, Huashengshi asked Uncle De to see the store, and Xia Yu entered the inner hall to make tea and chat.

This time, Xia Yu went straight to the subject, put down the tea cup, and solemnly said: "Old Hua, I am coming this time and plan to buy a large number of antiques. You also know that I have a manor in the suburbs of London. I don’t like Western style. I think It takes a lot of antiques to redecorate."

Hua Shengshi smiled and said: "No problem, you can pick whatever you want, and we will give you the cheapest price."

"Then I won't be polite to you!"

Xia Yu said.

"I have to thank you for taking care of my business!"

Hua Shengshi shook his head and said politely.

"Are you going to pick it now?"

"No, wait a minute, don't worry, I have something else I want to discuss with you."

Xia Yu narrowed his smile and looked solemn.

When Hua Shengshi saw this, he knew that it was a major event, so he looked upright and made a please gesture: "Please speak!"

"When I was in Hong Kong, I didn't find a suitable opportunity. When I met you in London this time, I knew the opportunity was here."

"Didn’t I tell you all the time? I plan to buy a dozen antiques. A few thousand pieces are not too few, and tens of thousands are not too many. If there are less, I will collect it by myself, and if I have more, I will build a top private museum. ."

"But I can't tell the authenticity of antiques, so I plan to ask your old guard to help me purchase them. The funds are not a problem. I want as much as you can purchase!"

Hearing Xia Yu's words, the Huasheng Shishi's eyes were bright and he looked at Xia Yu vigorously, and said eagerly: "Mr. Xia, are you serious?"

Xia Yu nodded without hesitation, raised an index finger, and said in a straightforward voice: "I never tell lies. If I don't have much else, I have more money. Is 100 million pounds enough to buy antiques? If not, add another one. Billion!"

"Hiss~"

Seeing Xia Yufeng lightly uttering this number, Huashengshi's heart was shaken, and he couldn't help taking a breath, looking at Xia Yu in amazement.

Seeing Hua Shengshi's reaction, Xia Yu secretly smiled in his heart, knowing that he was restrained.

However, what Xia Yu said was from his heart, and he really did not miss the money.

Today is January 11, 1979. It has been half a month since the Iranian Revolution broke out. The whole world has accepted this result, and it seems that the situation cannot be calmed down in a short time.

So international capital rushed into the gold market frantically.

In just half a month, the price of gold in London has broken the US$300 per ounce mark, and Xia Yu’s floating profit has reached more than US$1 billion. According to the current exchange rate, it is 800 million pounds!

Will make more money later!

Buying antiques for one or two billion pounds is a trivial matter!

And if it is really possible to buy so many, Xia Yu is too happy to buy antiques worth one or two billion pounds, and after a few decades, it will be worth more than ten billion pounds!

As long as Huashengshi has the ability to acquire, he will want it all!

Huashengshi Niu poured a cup of tea like a peony to calm himself down.

Xia Yu smiled and waited quietly to taste tea.

For a long time, Hua Shengshi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Xia, do you know that the total of all the antiques in my Jumbo Pavilion now, there are 1,462 pieces. I calculated the cost, and the price of these antiques was only 1 million pounds. about!"

Hearing this, Xia Yu's eyes widened, and he didn't expect it to be so cheap!

At this time, Hua Shengshi continued: "Of course there is a reason for being so cheap, because I don't have money, so I usually pick it up from the homes of ordinary people in Britain, or buy from the homes of fallen aristocrats. This is still accumulated over decades. ,"

"If I want to buy from the now powerful nobles, even if they are willing to sell, how can it cost five or six million pounds."

Hearing this explanation, Xia Yu nodded suddenly.

"So if you really give me 100 million pounds to buy antiques, according to my previous practice, it will be a question of whether it can be spent!"

Hua Shengshi said with a wry smile and shook his head, still feeling deeply in his heart.

Sure enough, he was the top tycoon from Xiangjiang, and my old friends were right. Xia Yu's strength was definitely more than just the surface.

But isn't this right?

The stronger Xia Yu's strength and the more willing to invest in antiques, the more antiques he can get back from foreigners!

Thinking of this, Huashengshi suddenly felt that the blood that had been silent for decades was boiling again. It was a kind of excitement of meeting a confidant after a long drought.

He no longer hesitated, stood up, bowed heavily to Xia Yu, looked at Xia Yu scorchingly, and solemnly said: "Mr. Xia, I know you are helping me, the whole treasure pavilion. I can give you free, I only have one condition, no, it's a request!"

When Hua Sheng Shi bowed, Xia Yu hurriedly stood up and stretched out his hand to help Hua Sheng Shi. Hearing his words and seeing the expectation, pleading and determination in his eyes, Xia Yu was very moved and took a deep breath. Said: "You always speak!"

"I hope that in my lifetime, you can support me as much as possible without affecting your career, and let me buy cultural relics belonging to China for you, and not sell them to foreigners."

"This is a request from an ordinary descendant of Yan and Huang who live abroad! Please!"

With that said, Hua Shengshi insisted on bowing to Xia Yu.

Hua Shengshi’s actions shocked Xia Yu. Xia Yu hurriedly supported him with moist eyes and solemnly said: "Old Hua, you don’t have to be like this. This is what I did. You have worked hard for decades. If you work hard, if you are willing to sell, I will buy it at the market price with you!"

"No, I have been alive in the past few years, and I have no descendants, and it is useless if I ask for money. Although Ade is my apprentice, but he is not good at learning art, I don't worry about entrusting Zhenbaoge to him."

"Although I have known you for a short time, but I am old and my eyes are bright. You have the heart and the ability to collect antiques. The Jumbo Pavilion is the best choice for you. In the future, you will bring you back to Xiangjiang. It is better than staying in the UK. , At least that is the place of the motherland, so that these cultural relics returned to the embrace of the mother."

"If you really build a museum in the future, I hope they can have the privilege of putting it in for my descendants of Yan and Huang to see and appreciate my profound and profound Chinese culture! Then I will die!"

Hua Shengshi said outrageously, and his words were sonorous and powerful.

Xia Yu took a deep breath and said, "Since you always say this, I am not hypocritical. I will definitely build a museum, but I hope you can build it by yourself. I will support you unconditionally!"

"I have enough land in Xiangjiang. I also have a real estate company to build museums and purchase antiques. I also support you infinitely!"

Hearing Xia Yu's words, Hua Shengshi trembled with excitement, and the old tearful but smiled and said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, thank you...thank you!"

"You don't get excited, sit down first and take a sip of tea slowly."

Hua Shengshi’s true feelings touched Xia Yu, but he was also worried that if he passed out excitedly or had an accident, it would be bad, so he hurriedly let Hua Shengshi sit down and fill him with a cup of tea.

"Good..."

Hua Shengshi smiled and nodded and said The hand holding the teacup was still trembling.

When Hua Shengshi calmed down, Xia Yu said, "Old Hua, I can take out the money at any time. When do you plan to start?"

Hua Shengshi was a little excited, but this time he was more sensible. Although he couldn’t wait to do it right away, he thought about it and said, “Mr. Xia, I have a few friends who are helping me purchase. If I want to build a museum, I also have friends. At Hong Kong Chinese University, I happen to be a professor at the School of Architecture. Can you ask them to help?"

Xia Yu promised: "Of course it’s okay. Welcome, the more people, the better. I also hope that the museum will be established as soon as possible. In short, it will be based on your old opinions. I am only responsible for contributing money, and I can only do this. Up."

Hua Shengshi smiled and said hello again and again.

After that, Xia Yu chatted with Hua Shengshi for a long time, until it was dark, Hua Shengshi reluctantly sent Xia Yu out, until Xia Yu's car was far away, he still stood in place and watched.
