Chapter 142 Wanhua Valley
The contract matters were handled by the secretary, and Wen Yiming officially became Tiancheng's second largest shareholder. With a valuation of at least 200 million yuan, he instantly upgraded to a billionaire!
However, Wen Yiming didn't take it seriously. The shares were very weak and could go back to before liberation overnight. What's more, he wouldn't sell it. This is just a letter of trust in himself and a letter of fame.
Ling Tiancheng really breathed a sigh of relief after finishing this matter. Wen Yiming was the hope of the rise of the Ling family, and this was proven countless times. Today, Li Tongfuken went to take a photo of his beloved collection, all because of Wen Yiming's magical means.
Therefore, the shares must be given, whether for yourself or for Ling Yuxin's future plans, this transaction will not be a loss!
"The fan of Wanliu, Ma Dingxiang's complete set of ancient coins in Ming and Qing dynasties, the imperial fine study of the Qing court, Tiancheng's first shot is a show!"
Ling Tiancheng walked around excitedly and said ambitiously: "Not only that, Ma Dingxiang and Manager Wu will definitely attend the auction at that time, plus the influence of Li Tongfu, a senior collector. By the way, there are Hu Jianmin and Yan Sihai. Not to mention others, their weight alone is enough to support the scene."
"No, not enough!"
Suddenly remembering something, he calmed down and said, "You can't take it lightly. Dong Guoqiang is not a good person. He will definitely do everything possible to stop us and will not let Tiancheng's first shot fire."
"And Jiade Baoli, we are also a potential threat to them. The cake is so big, and if multiple people share less, the two tigers will definitely not make us feel better."
Wen Yiming shook his head, this is why Ling Junsheng has been suppressing Ling Tiancheng for many years and prevented him from entering the capital?
Under the emperor's feet, the dragon and the tiger are hidden, unfathomable!
He stood up slowly and said easily: "Since you come, you will be at ease. Don't be anxious. If you want to do it, you will not reach it. If you accumulate connections and reputation, you will always have a chance to appear."
Ling Tiancheng nodded, calmed down, met Ling Junsheng, ate and chatted, and discussed the next plan.
"Hu Jianmin heard that we were going to enter the capital, support us with both hands, and provide several cbds to make Tiancheng settle down. The location is good. I will immediately find someone to negotiate a contract."
"As for the staff of the branch, we must be in place as soon as possible, Yu Xin is temporarily in charge of the Central Plains, and I will take care of it first."
"There are also salesmen who are high-paying and are particularly talented in the hands of customer resources. Money is not a problem!"
Ling Tiancheng planned that Wen Yiming was happy to be idle, and he didn't have to worry about this matter. His goal was to expand his connections, not only to pave the way for the Ling family, but also to his future.
Ling Junsheng didn't interrupt, it was a matter for the young man, and said to Wen Yiming: "I remember there will be a ghost market in Liulichang tomorrow morning. Except for Panjiayuan, even if it is lively there, sir can go and have a walk when you have time."
Wen Yiming nodded. This one can be found. I like to find a bargain the most. It’s okay to wake up early tomorrow and feel the atmosphere in the capital.
Ling Tiancheng has a lot of things to do. The old man was not interested in that kind of place and just moved alone, which was even more convenient. He packed up at five o'clock the next day and went out to take a taxi and headed straight to the ghost market.
It is said that this place was a place for refugees to gather in the late Qing Dynasty. The biggest feature of the refugee market was that it opened before dawn and closed the stalls as soon as dawn. Every time before dawn, the market was bustling with people. Each stall was lit with a kerosene lamp, candle, soybean oil lamp, etc.
At that time, in addition to the shacks built by refugees, there were entire farmland and mass graves near Liulichang. From a distance, the lights were bright and dark, flashing, and there were also business people moving. The situation was shocked by the ignorance, and people later called it Ghost Market.
After the Republic of China, the country's power declined, and many high-ranking officials and nobles were declining. The former rich children were still idle and secretly sold antiques from their families. After all, this was a behavior that was a loss of identity, and they dared not blatantly sell them, so they only asked someone to get it to the ghost market at three or four o'clock in the morning.
In addition to them, there are also people here who have stolen things or objects of unknown origin, and they are trying to cover up before dawn. People lit lanterns for trading, because they have unspeakable secrets, so they naturally gave a big discount on the price. Things that were originally worth fifty taels of silver may take two taels of silver.
It was bright and the market was very lively, with people coming and going. Wen Yiming began to turn leisurely, squatting down from time to time, picking up the things and taking a look.
There was nothing good along the way, and Wen Yiming was a little disappointed, and he didn't find any bargains every time. He was about to go back to the hotel, but a tricycle passed by him, which shocked his expression.
He calmed down and watched from a distance unloading piles of newspapers and old books from the tricycle. The stall owner was a young man who threw things on the street stall casually, picked up his phone and squatted beside him and started playing games.
Wen Yiming walked over casually, squatted down and picked up a yellowed old book, and asked, "One book or by pound?"
The young man raised his head, his mind still on the mobile game, and said quickly: "The old ones are fifty each, and the new ones are ten, so choose whatever you want."
Wen Yiming nodded, picked up a few ancient books seemingly unintentionally, and asked, "Are all these collected?"
The young man didn't raise his head, and the game was in the middle of the key point. He said impatiently: "It's all the old man collected from me. Today he had something to do, so he asked me to set up a stall. I don't understand. You can choose!"
Wen Yiming was overjoyed, picked up a few old books, mingled together and walked to the young man, and showed it with his own hands: "The book's appearance is average, just these six books, 200."
"Whatever, whatever!" the young man glanced at him and said anxiously: "Two hundred is only two hundred, give the money to finish."
Wen Yiming quickly paid the money, turned around and left, fearing that the young people would regret it, until he left the ghost market, and said excitedly: "The beautiful Wanhua Valley, an isolated product of the Song Dynasty, treasured by Yunlou!"
I picked up the three ancient books at the bottom and couldn't put them down. They looked very bad. Not only were there damaged ones, but there were also many wormholes. But in Wen Yiming's opinion, they were definitely priceless treasures!
When it comes to Jinxiu Wanhua Valley, we must talk about the legendary story of Yunlou!
Guoyun Tower is a famous private library in Jiangnan. It is known as the Jiatian collection of Jiangnan. Guoyun Tower collects Jianan. After 150 years of inheritance by the Gu family, its collection of books is ancient in the Song and Yuan dynasties, exquisitely written and copied, excellent engravings of Ming and Qing Dynasties, and more than 800 kinds of inscriptions and calligraphy printing and catalogs.
On the evening of June 4, 2012, Jinling Library won the Yunlou Collection for 216 million yuan at Jiade Auction. On June 11, Jingcheng University decided to exercise the right of first refusal and purchased Guoyunlou from social donations. On June 20, the Cultural Relics Bureau finally approved by the Cultural Relics Bureau. Guoyunlou returned to Jinling Library and officially reunited with the other three-quarters.
As early as the spring of 2005, nearly 500 volumes of ancient books and rare ancient books collected in the Jiade National Ancient Books auction were circulated in an orderly manner, and well-preserved, including 40 copies of the lonely Chinese version of the Song Dynasty, which was rare in 800 years. It was bought by a mysterious buyer for 23.1 million yuan. The Jinling Library also planned to return this batch of ancient books to its hometown, but in the end it was difficult to raise funds, so it had to give up.
Less than ten years later, this batch of books reappeared, from 20 million to 20 million at that time! In the end, it was won by the Jinling Library at a sky-high price.
Jinxiu Wanhua Valley is the largest complete Song version of the book hidden at home and abroad. It preserves some of the contents of a large number of lost ancient books. Ruan Yuan, a famous scholar in the Qing Dynasty, praised: The book became Jinxiu Wanhua Valley and painted the pictures of the eight heavens and dragons. The documentary and historical value are definitely unique among the existing Song versions.
A grand merger ceremony was held at that time, and the Beijing University and the Jinling Library fought to grab the treasures. This incident caused a lot of controversy. In the end, after passing Yunlou, he returned to his hometown and returned to Jiangnan.
"This time it's awesome!" Wen Yiming said excitedly: "If I take it back for the exhibition, wouldn't the Beijing University and Jinling Library break the head again? The last overseas product!"
