1632: Donate All the Antiques and Treasures? (2 More)
"Grandma Yu, don't be so angry, Uncle Xu may be too anxious to deal with Zhang Jiadong, so he doesn't even think about Xiaolan. Let's not talk about the past, Uncle Xu is reselling. I think the business of antiques is not only for making money, you should listen to him explain."
Zhou Cheng's explanation for Xu Zhongyi was really half-hearted and half-stepped.
It emphasized the fact that Xu Zhongyi did not consider his daughter-in-law. Grandma Yu wanted to beat her son with a cane. This time, Xu Changle knelt down and begged for mercy.
Xu Changle didn't say that he couldn't fight, so he asked if he could remember it first.
He really beat his father to death. He and his sister Tina lost their mother first, and then lost their father soon. Wouldn't they have become orphans.
The blood on Xu Zhongyi's head was still flowing.
This Xu Changle is really smart.
Grandma Yu finally asked Xu Zhongyi to go and bandage the wound.
When Xu Zhongyi came back, he knelt down to the old lady for the third time. This time, he explained the reasons why he was in the antique business:
"...At first, I was taken in by this group of people. Later, when they saw that I was talented in this industry, they pushed me to be the leader. This business is not very open, but it can be more comfortable in and out of the United States, and it is also necessary to transport antiques abroad. Dealing with the local gang, I think it is an opportunity to deal with Zhang Jiadong. There is another reason. Zhang Jiadong instigated someone to steal some antiques that I brought to the United States. He sold those things as his own starting capital. I know that those antiques are all The things my grandfather left you in the bottom of the box were lost by me in America, and I want to get them back!"
There is no money to make.
But there are no two identical vases in the world.
Everything in the Yu family is unique. Those antiques are not only property that can be sold, but also the old lady's old thoughts about home.
It is difficult to reproduce the scenery of Yubancheng in the past. Xu Zhongyi thought that he had lost those things, and he had an obsession in his heart.
If he doesn't find something, he comes back shamelessly!
Grandma Yu didn't expect this reason.
What vase, what antique treasure, how can a dead object be compared to a living person?
If the whole family is harmonious and beautiful, Grandma Yu would rather smash everything!
Xu Zhongyi obviously didn't think so, he instructed Xu Changle:
"Changle, you have someone carry everything in."
Xu Zhongyi didn't bring so many suitcases when he got off the plane.
It can be seen that he had arranged for others to deliver the things to Shangdu. After a while, the boxes brought by Xu Zhongyi's people filled the room and lined up. Xu Zhongyi personally opened the boxes and handed them over to Grandma Yu for inspection:
"At that time, I only lost half of the things, and the rest, a blue and white vase was given to the person who saved me as a thank you, and I didn't even think about selling the other things even if I was a poor beggar. I have bought back a few things that I have taken away through various channels over the years, and the blue and white vase I gave to others has also been repurchased by me, and I have brought back all the things I took abroad.
Xu Zhongyi is not showing merit, he is telling a fact.
Grandma Yu wanted to call him unfilial and stupid, but her voice seemed to be blocked.
Xia Xiaolan dragged Zhou Cheng to look at them one by one. These things are really exquisite, and they are real treasures of art.
The value she can't estimate.
Anyway, she participated in an auction held by Xu Zhongyi, and she was afraid that if she took any one out for auction, it would cause collectors to loot.
Xu Zhongyi must have spent a lot of effort and spent a lot of money to redeem several items sold by Zhang Jiadong!
Grandma Yu thought it was property harming people.
Without these antique treasures brought to the United States, Xu Zhongyi would not have been targeted by the San Francisco gang.
Now I know it has something to do with Cui Yiru's original extramarital affair.
There is no chance to get the culprit Zhang Jiadong cramped and skinned. Zhang Jiadong has been killed by Cui Yiru, and the body is now in Hong Kong. Is it possible that Grandma Yu went to Hong Kong to whip the body?
Grandma Yu looked at these antiques and treasures, and was not happy to find them back.
"Can these things be donated?"
ah? !
Grandma Yu spoke suddenly, and Xia Xiaolan was stunned.
"You mean, donate to the country?"
Xu Zhongyi and Xu Changle were both surprised.
Especially Xu Zhongyi, his heart is to find his own things, which is almost as important as revenge. He didn't expect his mother to see these things, but he didn't want to keep them.
Xu Zhongyi wants to say that these things can be reunited, just like the reunion of their family is as tortuous and difficult.
Another is the value...
However, he didn't say anything.
These things were originally left to his mother by his grandfather.
It doesn't matter what his mother does with it.
And he just returned the antiques to their original owners.
"Donate if you want."
When he said this sentence, Xu Zhongyi felt relieved inexplicably.
Zhang Jiadong's death moved a mountain in his heart.
He let go of his obsession with these antiques, as if he had moved away from another mountain... He was relieved, how could he not relax?
Xia Xiaolan thought about the news reports she had read in her previous life, and didn't think it was a good idea to donate these things, she also directly said to her grandmother: "Don't donate for the time being, I think Uncle Xu can build one as a Hong Kong businessman. Private museums, and put these antique treasures on display in museums.”
Grandma Yu and Xu Zhongyi are both willing to donate, Xia Xiaolan can't feel sorry for them
.
No matter how valuable something is, the owner can dispose of it how he wants.
It's just that Xia Xiaolan just happened to know how chaotic the management of relevant institutions is now, like replacing the real product with a fake one, and then stealing and selling the real product?
Donate to donate.
It is also worth donating, and being sold by some assholes is a waste of grandma Yu's generosity.
It is better to build a private museum, put everything in the museum, and supervise it yourself, which is naturally more secure.
Zhou Cheng also probably knows the doorway here. There must be truly dedicated research experts in this field in China, but the funds given by the state are small, and their workload is huge:
"Even if you donate it, they may not be able to take good care of these things. I went to the Forbidden City to play when I was a child, and I saw those bottles and jars lying around... On the contrary, the last time I went to the United States, Xiaolan took me to New York. In the museum, all the collections are covered with glass, and even taking pictures is not allowed to turn on the flash, Xiaolan means to build a modern private museum, right?"
Xia Xiaolan's proposal made Xu Zhongyi ponder.
Xu Changle couldn't help but look at her.
This idea is so fitting!
Grandma Yu didn't want to pay attention to Xu Zhongyi, but she attached great importance to Xia Xiaolan's words. It seems that it is possible to build a private museum.
Can't help but grab Xia Xiaolan's hand, "Tell me about it carefully."
...
Grandma Yu left Xia Xiaolan in the room and kicked Xu Zhongyi out.
Xu Changle followed behind, he wanted to accompany his grandma, but he was not too anxious, after all, there would be time in the future. This yard gave Xu Changle a sense of familiarity everywhere, stirring his memory.
Xu Zhongyi interrupted his son's reverie:
"Your grandma said not to use money to repay Xiaoxia and the others, but we can't help but say that in the past two or three years, Xiaoxia and the others have been taking care of your grandma, saying they are looking for money, Xiaoxia's career is doing well, and there is no shortage of your grandma. That money. So, we have to think carefully about how we should repay them.”
