I started to become more self-disciplined at the age of 30

Chapter 235 234. The Yueyang Tower Inscription is engraved on the Yueyang Tower, and there are too many opportunities to leave your name in history.

The person who called Han's father again was still an acquaintance, but it was not a colleague at work, but a relative who worked in the company, the son of a cousin!

"Uncle, congratulations, congratulations, Jiang Chen's work is priceless."

"Haha, it's nothing. I'm just keeping it for Jiang Chen temporarily and will return it to him later."

"Jiang Chen sincerely gives this to you, Uncle. Are you also a member of the City Calligraphy Association?"

"Well, I joined the calligraphy association a few years ago."

"Uncle, it's like this. The city was going to hold a cultural exhibition, and the tentative venue was Yueyang Tower. It was originally just a normal cultural exchange meeting. But this time, Jiang Chen came to your house and wrote a Yueyang Tower Inscription. Our leader asked me to ask you if you can temporarily lend us the original Yueyang Tower Inscription for a few days so that we can use it to display it at the cultural exhibition. This is a good publicity for our hometown."

"Uncle, don't worry, you won't lose it. We will send professional security personnel to keep it safe for 24 hours."

After hearing this, Han's father was silent for a few seconds, and was once again shocked by the appeal of Jiang Chen's work.

He didn't expect that someone had offered 3 billion to buy his work just a few minutes after he got it. Now, the city leaders and their relatives came to him and wanted to borrow it.

to be honest……

He had some thoughts in his mind.

Because he also wanted to contribute a little to the city. If he could expand the influence of Yueyang Tower and Yueyang across the country and attract more people here, it would be a contribution to the city.

but……

He was worried about lending it out for a few days. Who knows what will happen if such an important work is out of his sight for a few days?
and so.

After a short silence, Han's father said, "In principle, I agree. I am willing to contribute to my hometown. However, it is impossible to borrow it for so many days. It is okay to borrow it for one day on the day of the exhibition. Moreover, I will bring it there personally and take it away after the exhibition. You should ensure security."

"Someone just offered me a price to buy this work. Do you know how much it was?"

The other party was curious: "How much?"

Dad Han: “Three billion!”

There was a clear sound of inhalation on the other end of the phone, followed by a trembling voice: "Isn't it just bragging on the Internet? Can Jiang Chen's work really be worth so much?"

Although, it is rumored everywhere on the Internet that any one of Jiang Chen's works can be worth more than 1 billion, excellent works can be worth 2 billion, and representative works can reach 3 billion, and the previous painting "Jiang Jinjiu" that was given away was auctioned for 2.5 billion!

but……

These news are all spread. There has been no official announcement, no news released by the auction, and no news released by the buyer or seller.

Nowadays, the news on the Internet is true and false. Many people who often surf the Internet will be reserved when seeing these news and will not believe them too much.

Therefore, most people are actually skeptical about the fact that Jiang Chen’s works are worth billions.

Even Han's father had doubts in his heart before, but now that someone really offered him 3 billion, he knew it was true.

Obviously, his relative had the same mentality. He was skeptical before and didn't quite believe it. But when he heard such a terrifying number from Han's father's mouth, he was shocked.

Father Han chuckled and said, "It is worth that much. I told you this number because I want you to tell your leader that this work is truly priceless and there must be no mistakes. I agree to exhibit it, but you must do a good job of security."

The other party immediately said seriously: "Okay, uncle, I will report truthfully and absolutely guarantee safety!"

Father Han: "Okay, after you have discussed it, let me know the confirmed exhibition time, and then you can send someone to pick me up."

"Okay, uncle, I'll go discuss it with them right away!"

hang up the phone.

Father Han looked at his wife and daughter and said with a smile, "This is a happy trouble. I've always dreamed of owning an authentic painting by Jiang Chen. Now, after only a short while, so many people have come to my door."

Han Qing warned, "Dad, you have to take good care of Jiang Chen's work. If it's lost or damaged, I won't be able to tell Jiang Chen."

Mother Han frowned slightly, worried that if she kept such a valuable item at home, someone would definitely miss it.

Father Han said seriously: "Don't worry, unless I die, no one can take this work from me."

However, Han's father then received more than a dozen calls.

Most of the calls were from real estate agents in the collection circle, all offering prices to buy this work. The highest offer was 3 billion, and the lowest was 2.5 billion!
Once again, Han's father felt that to those people, money was not really like money, but numbers that could be processed at any time.

At the same time, calls came from the Calligraphy Association, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and relatives I had contacted before.

All of these people came to build relationships with Han's father. They all wanted to take advantage of the popularity of Jiang Chen's Yueyang Tower Inscription. The Calligraphy Association, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, etc. all wanted to hold an exchange meeting and invite Han's father to participate with this work.

However, apart from agreeing to official activities for his relatives, Han's father refused all other activities.

Han Qin chatted with her parents at home for a while, bought some vegetables for her mother, prepared dinner, and then went downstairs to the hotel to find Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen didn't take a long nap. He woke up in about an hour, then stood in front of the hotel's large French window and looked at the sparkling Dongting Lake in front of him.

The hotel is located right by Dongting Lake, which is an excellent viewing location.

Yan Ruyu helped Jiang Chen make a pot of tea in the back and said softly, "Drink a cup of tea after your nap to relax."

As she spoke, Yan Ruyu personally brought a cup of tea to Jiang Chen, like a maid in ancient times.

Jiang Chen took the teacup from Yan Ruyu and said softly, "You don't have to do these, and I don't have any special hobbies for tea."

Yan Ruyu looked at Jiang Chen and smiled playfully: "I like to do it, especially doing it for you, I am happier."

Jiang Chen did not look at Yan Ruyu, nor did he respond, and continued to look at the Dongting Lake outside.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Yan Ruyu turned around to open the door, and Han Qing just arrived.

Han Qing glanced at Yan Ruyu, smiled at her, and then said to Jiang Chen, "Would you like to go downstairs and take a look at the lake view, and then come to my house for dinner."

Jiang Chen did not refuse and nodded in agreement.

Then, Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia, Wang Jing, Li Wen and others from the next few rooms also came out one after another to meet Jiang Chen, and left the hotel together. As they walked out of the door, they could see the scenery of Dongting Lake.

This is not the peak tourist season, so there weren't many people there.

However, because of Jiang Chen's arrival, many people came to Yueyang, and many people from Yueyang came to Dongting Lake to stroll around, hoping to meet Jiang Chen by chance.

Therefore, when Jiang Chen and his companions came out, there were already a lot of people in the Dongting Lake Scenic Area, almost catching up with the crowds on May 1st and National Day.

Many people recognized Jiang Chen at a glance and greeted him loudly.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Jiang!" "Jiang Chen, the people of Yueyang welcome you."

“Jiang Chen, just stay in Yueyang and marry Xiao Qingzi!”

"Old Jiang..."

When Han Qing heard someone asking Jiang Chen to marry her, her pretty face turned red, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, and she gave a thumbs up to the person who shouted in her heart.

Of course, Jiang Chen didn't care about these people's shouts. He just smiled and waved as a greeting, and then turned around on his own, counting his steps while looking at the scenery of Dongting Lake!

This is a beautiful place that is easily overlooked by many people.

Even during the peak tourist season during holidays, there are crowds of people, but most of them are locals and people from nearby areas. There are relatively few people traveling here from other parts of the country. It is unlike those Internet celebrity check-in spots, where there are tourists from all over the country checking in every day.

As for Dongting Lake, with the arrival of Jiang Chen today, it seemed to have suddenly become famous throughout the country.

Many people took another look and found that this was one of the four famous lakes they had learned about in geographical knowledge since childhood!

Logically speaking, many people would want to visit such a scenic spot!
but……

The reality is that most people never thought about coming here before.

because……

I don't remember it at all.

Every day when watching videos and chatting with others, you will see some popular scenic spots, so most people just go to these places to join in the fun.

Several places in central China, such as southern Hunan, northern Hunan, and western Jiangxi, are easily overlooked by many people.

When talking about Shonan, most people can only think of Shonan TV.

This was the only local TV station that could compete with CCTV at the time. Although it has lost its former glory in recent years, other local TV stations such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV have also grown bigger and stronger, and Xiangnan Satellite TV is no longer the only one dominating the market.

However, when most people think of entertainment programs, idol dramas, etc., the first thing that comes to mind is the Shonan TV station that they have loved watching since childhood!
However, apart from Shonan TV, most people don’t know what else there is in Shonan.

Now, many people suddenly discovered through Jiang Chen’s live broadcast that there are such beautiful scenic spots in southern Hunan, and they all want to come and see them.

Therefore, there are suddenly many more topics discussing southern Hunan, Yueyang Tower, and Dongting Lake on the Internet.

This is exactly what the people of southern Hunan are expecting. It was also the reason why even the mayor wanted to pick up Jiang Chen when he arrived in the provincial capital of southern Hunan yesterday. He wanted to attract traffic through Jiang Chen and increase the national visibility of southern Hunan, which would bring huge benefits.

just now……

This wave of traffic has already arrived.

Jiang Chen, Han Qing, Yan Ruyu, Pu Yuexi and others strolled along the Dongting Lake for more than half an hour. People from other places came over to meet Jiang Chen and say hello, and also to take a look at the beauties around him.

After all, in real life, most people would hardly have the chance to see beauties like Han Qing, Pu Yuexi, and Chen Xiaojia. As for Yan Ruyu, if it weren't for Jiang Chen, they would never even see her on the Internet in their lifetime, let alone in real life.

More people came.

Jiang Chen started to retreat with Han Qing, Yan Ruyu, Pu Yuexi and others.

We got in the car and went directly to Han Qing's home not far away to prepare for dinner.

I can clearly feel that there are a lot more people around me than in the morning.

When I arrived at Han Qing's house, Han's father had already framed the original painting of Yueyang Tower and hung it in the study. He sat in the study and looked at it for a long time.

Mother Han is cooking in the kitchen.

As soon as Han Qing came in, she called Yan Ruyu, Pu Yuexi and others to go to the kitchen to help.

Dad Han started chatting with Jiang Chen again.

"I received dozens of calls in the afternoon, and several people offered 3 billion to buy your work. I was shocked."

Father Han did not hide anything and told Jiang Chen the truth directly: "However, this also shows that we have not forgotten the beauty of traditional culture. Everyone recognizes your calligraphy and literary art very much."

A smile appeared on Han's father's face, and he was very relieved and happy about this.

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Uncle, you can do whatever you want with it. I said, I'm giving it to you. And even if you sell it, I won't be angry. I don't mind my work being spread out. The more people see it and the more people get it, the happier I will be. I also hope that more people can appreciate the beauty of the real top traditional cultural art."

Father Han gave Jiang Chen a thumbs up and said, "You have a big heart. No wonder you can write sentences like 'Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself' and 'Be the first to worry about the world, and be the last to be happy with the world'. You don't care about billions of things. This is better than anyone else in the world."

"No wonder you gave so many works to Han Qing and the others, and even gave them away through lottery in the live broadcast room. Do you want to use them to spread your works among more people?"

Jiang Chen nodded and did not deny it: "Yes, I have such an idea."

His biggest wish is to allow these excellent works to be seen, heard and recognized by more people.

In the future, he will slowly distribute all his works through various means, leaving only a few of his favorites for his parents to keep. When he is old, he can leave a will and distribute all his final works, leaving not a single one in his hands.

Father Han admired Jiang Chen even more.

If other people knew that their works were so valuable, they would definitely find ways to limit their flow in order to maximize their value, and they would definitely not give away one, but would definitely sell it through auction.

Nowadays, the works of top artists at home and abroad are basically auctioned, which can maximize profits, hype their fame and increase the value of their works.

There is really no one like Jiang Chen who knows that his work is priceless but still gives it away. There has never been such a person in history!
The two chatted for a while, and Han's father admired Jiang Chen from the bottom of his heart.

"By the way, Jiang Chen, I received a call from the managers of Yueyang Tower and Dongting Lake Scenic Area. They want to purchase the copyright of Yueyang Tower Records and print this work on Yueyang Tower."

Father Han finally remembered the important matter.

Jiang Chen naturally would not object to this. He had done this many times before, so he said directly: "Okay, let them draft the authorization agreement and come to me. If Xiao Qingzi has a look at it and there is no problem, I will sign it. Just follow the market price."

Father Han nodded: "Okay, I'll tell them that."

He knew that several of Jiang Chen's works had been engraved in many scenic spots, such as Night Mooring at Maple Bridge, Looking at the Mountain, Song of Everlasting Sorrow, The Road to Shu is Difficult, etc. There was also Lang Tao Sha Ling, which he wrote on the bank of the Huangpu River just after leaving the Magic City. The Magic City authorities were also planning to engrave it on the bank of the Huangpu River.

Therefore, it was normal for Jiang Chen to have another Yueyang Tower Record engraved on the Yueyang Tower.

However, Father Han smiled bitterly in his heart. For a scholar, such a thing would definitely bring honor to the family and leave a name in history.

Throughout the thousands of years of history, there are not many people whose works have been engraved and preserved in scenic spots.

But to Jiang Chen, it was already commonplace.
