We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?
Chapter 436: Luo's Chek Lap Kok Museum
In Hong Kong Island, buffet is and will always be synonymous with high-end.
Unlike what many people say about using third-rate ingredients and second-rate chefs to create first-rate food, the buffets in Hong Kong Island are basically offered by high-end hotels, and there are very few affordable ones.
Due to the selection of ingredients and Hong Kong Island’s high standards for food control, it is difficult for low- and mid-end buffets to make a profit in Hong Kong Island.
Just like the buffet restaurant at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, it has all kinds of seafood, meat and exquisite desserts. Without a large customer base and purchasing power, it would be impossible to do this.
"Chunming, Sumeng, I got a lot of big lobsters, share some with you.
Eat more, there’s still plenty over there, if it’s not enough I’ll get more.”
"Thank you, Brother Zhang." Su Meng took a plate from Brother Zhang and placed it in front of Han Chunming.
"This lobster doesn't seem to be as big as the one your factory distributed during the Chinese New Year, and it looks different too."
"Maybe it's a different variety." Han Chunming didn't quite understand, but it didn't stop him from liking to eat it.
Han Chunming was right about one thing, that is, the species is different. What they are eating now is Boston lobster, which is very cheap in this era.
What they gave out during the Chinese New Year was Australian lobster, which was more expensive than Boston lobster but not much more expensive.
The employees of Rabbit's Arctic Ocean and Jianlibao received lower year-end bonuses due to some special reasons, so they received some compensation in the form of New Year's goods.
In addition to Watsons' nut and candy gift boxes, rice, flour, grain, oil, wine, beverages, chicken, duck, fish and other items, each person was also given an Australian lobster and a king crab.
The distribution of these items caused quite a stir at the time. No one could afford to buy so many things for the New Year, but people just bought them all as New Year benefits.
Especially the big lobsters and king crabs, who among the ordinary people has ever seen these things.
Many leaders from other large companies who came to Beibingyang Jianlibao Company for study and visit said that these employees have a different mental outlook, and are full of energy and confidence.
Isn't this nonsense? Why don't you talk about how Beibingyang and Jianlibao treat their employees?
Not to mention the salary, no other company can compare with us in terms of various holiday benefits.
Starting this year, tourism benefits have been increased, including ten travel places to Hong Kong Island and ten travel places to scenic spots in the motherland. Each person can also bring one family member for free throughout the trip.
Many people now say that they would not trade being a regular worker in Beibingyang for being a section chief in other factories.
Just listen to this. It may be okay in the next few years. Try it again in ten or twenty years.
Turning around to look around, they saw that besides those diners who were eating voraciously like them, there were also many very polite diners.
In Su Meng's eyes, she thought it would be great if Han Chunming had the opportunity to be transferred to Hong Kong Island to work. This is the life she has always longed for.
However, Han Chunming didn't know about Su Meng's change, nor did he know that his wife's wish would come true one day, but at that time Su Meng didn't want to come because of the development of the motherland.
After eating and drinking, everyone returned to their respective rooms. Han Chunming didn’t know about others, but he and Su Meng were quite satisfied with this night.
The main reason is that the television in Hong Kong is so powerful that it can receive many TV channels from other countries. Some of the movies were quite shocking to them. It can be said that it opened the door to a new world.
Oh, there is such a way to play.
Everyone had a great time in the next few days. Until the last day of the five-day Hong Kong Island tour, the others went on a tour with the tour group, while Han Chunming and his companion dressed up and went to Chek Lap Kok to attend the opening of a museum.
The Luo Family Chek Lap Kok Exhibition Hall will be the place where the Luo family stores antiques and where their heritage is located.
There are not only collections of Chinese antiques dating back 5,000 years, but also many foreign treasures.
Especially in terms of calligraphy and painting, there are works by Monet, Cézanne, Picasso, Van Gogh and others. Luo Nianzhong even spent 870 million US dollars to buy Edward Munch's The Scream, the one in the elementary school textbook.
There are actually four versions of "The Scream", two of which are kept in museums. The one that Luo Nianzhong took is the very well-preserved second edition from 1893, which is also one of the versions that has been circulated among the people.
Not to mention foreign paintings, there are even more ancient Chinese paintings, and many of them were purchased from foreign museums. Among them, the British Museum made Luo Nianzhong get a lot of money.
Foreigners don't understand Chinese calligraphy and painting, and many of the collections have been damaged due to careless storage. Even more have never been exhibited and have been gathering dust in warehouses.
Luo Nianzhong took advantage of this weakness, and since information is not well developed nowadays, he just seized the opportunity to make the most of it.
If you don’t know, you won’t know. It was only through contact with the British Museum that Luo Nianzhong realized that many of the works exhibited in the British Museum were fakes.
Where did the real thing go? That's a matter of opinion.
There is no pressure at all for dealers of Chinese antiques. Not to mention that none of the items they sell have ever been displayed, even if someone finds something fishy, what can they do?
Most of these items were looted by the Eight-Nation Alliance and sold at a low price to the British Museum. Even if something happens, they can be explained as fakes when they were purchased and destroyed.
As for whether anyone believed it and why they bought a fake at that time, you have to ask the staff who bought the work at that time.
One has to sigh that the Rothschild family made a good deal. In the 21st century, they once again reaped a huge profit from the world by speculating on antiques and using these furnishings.
Luo Nianzhong believes that not only the Rothschilds, but many major forces with a long history should be adding fuel to the flames.
Luo Nianzhong would never believe if those famous museums around the world said they had no connection with them. It was really a good business. They made profits by selling and collected at low prices under the name of museums.
But now Luo Nianzhong has also joined the game, so let’s make money together.
The opening of the Luo's Chek Lap Kok Exhibition Hall brought together many celebrities from Southeast Asia. These big families respected the personal invitation from Luo Nianzhong, who seldom appears in public.
The exhibition hall officially opened at 10 a.m., and Luo Nianzhong invited Hong Kong Governor Murray MacLehose to cut hair together. After that, of course, it was time to visit and socialize, expand personal connections and build relationships.
"Chunming, who are these people? They look either rich or noble."
Although Su Meng didn't know these people, she knew they were important people from the various jewelry worn by the female companions. For the first time, this girl from the capital felt restrained.
"They must be big shots. Don't you see who I am? How could the people I know be bad?
I am also the deputy manager of a world-class company, so I am a big shot, okay?"
Han Chunming was also nervous, but he refused to admit it.
"Just brag." Su Meng looked at her man with disdain. She felt relieved by his nonsense.
"What do you mean by bragging? Don't you think about why I was invited here? It's because I'm a man of such status. This is called birds of a feather flock together. Think about it, isn't this the truth?"
Seeing that Su Meng was unable to refute what he said, Han Chunming, who was feeling proud, was startled by the voice behind him.
"You have a good tongue, no wonder you are a salesperson."
Han Chunming was invited because he has indeed made a huge contribution to this exhibition hall. Needless to say, one-tenth of the rabbit collection is due to Han Chunming's contribution.
Of course, there are not many cultural relics here that are truly national treasures, but that cannot erase the other party’s contribution.
"Mr. Luo, thank you for your invitation and for giving us these outfits. Thank you very much."
When he saw that the person coming was Luo Nianzhong, Han Chunming secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him and extended his right hand.
"Haha, you are a lot more confident and smoother than the first time I met you, but you are still good at talking nonsense."
After shaking hands with Han Chunming, Luo Nianzhong patted him on the shoulder as if he were an old friend and said, "Let's go and see the cultural relics you collected for me. I think I should have different feelings when I see you again."
"This, isn't it inappropriate?" Han Chunming looked around at the eyes that were looking at him, as well as the eyes that were constantly staring at him, and felt that something was not right.
How could Luo Nianzhong not know what Han Chunming meant, and he said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter, don't care about them."
Since his master Luo Nianzhong said so, Han Chunming didn't care anymore. He pulled Su Meng, puffed out his chest and followed Luo Nianzhong away.
Han Chunming is also very fond of and obsessed with cultural relics and antiques, otherwise he would not have fallen into this trap in the first place.
Now, not only can he see these brilliant national treasures again, but he can also communicate with the experts here. For Han Chunming, this is a great blessing in his life.
