"Three, please."
The private collection is located at the rear side of the villa and covers an area of nearly one thousand square meters.
The collection hall is covered with thick dark blue carpet, and transparent glass exhibition stands are arranged closely and orderly. The temperature in the hall is set to a constant temperature, always maintained at 24 degrees.
From the moment the president of the shipping association entered the door, his eyes were so busy that he hardly had time to blink. Every time he blinked, he lost 0.1 seconds of seeing.
Oh my god, there are treasures in there that have never been seen.
There are also a pair of famille rose general jars, a pair of four-legged incense burners, imperial court beads made of 108 pure wild pearls, a set of pure gold cups, wine jugs, various expensive jade ornaments, and lost calligraphy and painting works.
The largest and most expensive of these is the five-meter-long bronze dragon in the center of the exhibition hall.
The president of the shipping association had his eyes glued to the dragon.
"This kind of workmanship, this kind of material, this kind of completeness, you won't find one in any national museum."
The president of the Shipping Association marveled at it and walked around the booth ten times before stopping.
"Mr. Gao, I have a humble request. Can I take a photo?" The president of the shipping association was extremely sincere. He really liked this dragon.
If he took a photo and brought it back, he could show it off in the antique circle for a long time.
Not everyone has the opportunity to appreciate a collection of this level with their own eyes.
"Sorry, this is a private collection and will not be passed on to others." Gao Yan's voice was not loud, but the aura of a superior remained undiminished.
"Okay..." The president of the shipping association felt extremely regretful and wished his eyes could be turned into laser scanners to record the direction of every hair of the dragon.
Gao Yan stood beside the booth, the light pouring from above making him look like a god.
Wen Yuan frowned.
Isn’t this the dragon in the koi pond at Yonghe Palace?
Not long after she entered Yonghe Palace, Li Zhao sent her such a bronze dragon.
The reason why it is placed in the koi pond is because dragon, water and auspicious clouds mean dragons will come to life when they meet water.
Later, the water in the pool rose higher and higher, gradually submerging the dragon's body, and Wen Yuan forgot about its existence.
Now, with the dragon suddenly before her eyes, she suddenly remembered.
How did he dig the dragon out of the pond?
"Boss Ji, come and take a look."
The president of the Shipping Association caught up with Ji Mingyi and talked incessantly about the origins, meanings and values of various antiques.
"This dragon is worth at least one billion."
Ji Mingyi was originally in low spirits, but when he heard the word 1 billion, his eyes lit up.
"So expensive?"
"Expensive? This is just my estimate. Even if Mr. Gao offered 2 billion, I'm afraid someone would be willing to buy it."
"That's so exaggerated, no way! Who would be so stupid as to spend 2 billion on a bronze dragon?"
"You... forget it, forget it. How can a summer insect talk about ice?" The president of the Shipping Association stopped explaining to Ji Mingyi and turned around to immerse himself in the feast of antiques.
The collection hall was very large, and the three people gradually dispersed.
Gao Yan always followed behind Wen Yuan, keeping a social distance of about an arm's length.
There are a lot of collections here. Wen Yuan has seen some of them before, but she doesn’t recognize most of them.
When living in that dynasty, people did not pay so much attention to their uniqueness, probably because they were used to it.
After being separated from the dynasty and a thousand years have passed, when I see it again as an outsider, my mood is completely different.
It turns out that these things are so exquisite.
She even saw the luminous cup that she had broken.
There were twelve luminous cups sent as tribute from the Western Regions. She broke one, so there were exactly eleven in the display cabinet.
She also saw the hairpins and step-shake ornaments she had used, and even a complete set of imperial concubine's formal dress.
Continuing forward, there is a display case covered with a red curtain, which tightly covers the collection inside.
Wen Yuan stopped and had a vague guess in her heart that the Nine Dragons and Nine Phoenix Crown that the president of the Shipping Association had been thinking about might be inside.
Seeing so many old things inevitably brings back distant memories.
Wen Yuan thought about it. In the eight years of the Taifeng Dynasty, she seemed to have never heard of the Nine Dragons and Nine Phoenix Crown.
"Ah, there's a phoenix crown in here, right?"
The president of the Shipping Association also happened to be here. His eyes lingered on the red curtain, and he felt uncomfortable as if his heart was tickled.
It’s so painful to have such great things right in front of you, but you can’t see them.
Gao Yan did not explain too much. His bottom line was that the phoenix crown would not be made public.
The president of the shipping association didn't even see the shadow of the phoenix crown and continued to linger in front of the display case for ten minutes.
Finally, he shook his head regretfully and continued to admire other collections.
It took Ji Mingyi two hours to walk through the entire collection hall, and his legs were sore from standing.
After leaving the collection hall, the president of the Shipping Association was still not satisfied and kept saying that he wanted to come again if he had the chance in the future.
Gao Yan smiled and said, "Of course, but I'd like to trouble the president to take care of Mr. Wen's affairs."
"Understood. Don't worry, no problem. I have complete trust in Mr. Wen. How about this? Mr. Wen and Mr. Ji come to my office on Monday afternoon. Let's discuss the dock matter in detail."
When Ji Mingyi saw that the matter was settled, he swept away the gloomy look he had been wearing in the museum, straightened his back and said loudly, "Great, that's great. Thank you, President, for the recommendation, and thank you, Mr. Gao, for your help. I'll treat you to lunch at the Jianghai Hotel."
Jianghai Restaurant is the most famous Huaiyang cuisine in Hai City, with first-class taste and service.
How could Gao Yan miss the opportunity to have lunch with Wen Yuan? He nodded in agreement.
Wen Yuan was in a good mood, and the president of the Shipping Association was relieved. If nothing unexpected happened, the investment project could be finalized next week, which would be considered an accomplishment.
Ji Mingyi said, "President, please take my car. Mr. Gao, please come along."
Gao Yan didn't agree. He turned his head and asked Wen Yuan, "This is Mr. Wen's car. Can I sit in it?"
He asked even though he knew the answer. It was a seven-seater nanny car, so how could there not be room for one more person?
"Yes, Mr. Gao, please."
"Thank you."
Gao Yan got into Wen Yuan's car as he wished.
The night before yesterday, when he carried Wen Yuan into the car, he used a lot of self-control to restrain his urge to get in the car, and today he succeeded.
"Hello, Mr. Gao."
Old Lu was standing at the car door waiting for Wen Yuan. When he saw Gao Yan coming over, he greeted him.
"Hello, we meet again."
The word "又" is used too deliberately, as if to emphasize what happened the night before.
Wen Yuan's face flushed and he bent down and got into the car.
