Chapter 139 The Gambling King Invites?

"Brother Niu? Yes, I'm in Macau, okay, I'll wait for your call."

Wu Tianyuan got up early the next morning when he received a call from Niu Feng. It turned out that he couldn't get through the phone last night.Later, after asking Sun Yuyao, she found out that she came to Macau, and said that there will be a big person to meet soon?

Ten minutes later Wu Tianyuan received a call asking him to go downstairs and a car would pick him up.I got into a limited edition Rolls-Royce Phantom and drove to the villa area on the hill.

"Gambling King Ho Hongshen!"

When the butler came out with the wheelchair, Wu Tianyuan turned pale with shock, and quickly stood up, the one who wanted to see him was the all-powerful gambling king!
"Young man, don't be surprised. I asked the Mavericks to notify you and invite you to come and chat."

Mr. He was not in a good spirit, and his speech was a little slow, so he waved Wu Tianyuan to sit down and chat.

"I didn't expect that it was Mr. He who wanted to see me? What a blessing!"

Wu Tianyuan told the truth that he knew a lot about that legendary figure. He Hongshen's life was a life of miracles, and it was also the golden age of Macau's rise.

In 1961, the Macau Portuguese government stipulated that the gaming industry must be implemented through a franchise system. Ho Hongshen saw the opportunity and returned to Macau. He cooperated with Fok Yingdong and others to win the exclusive casino franchise right in one fell swoop, taking the first step on the road to the king of gambling.

In the early 20s, several casinos such as the Palace Casino were established in Macau.In addition to Hong Kong and Macau, Ho Hung-shen has also invested in many countries, including Vietnam, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Portugal and so on.In addition to the gaming industry, Ho Hung-shen's industries also involve real estate, construction, shipping, investment and other fields.

In 2011, its subsidiaries include: Macau Gaming Holdings Limited, Hong Kong Melco International Group, Hong Kong Shun Tak Group Co., Ltd., Macau International Airport Specialized Company, Ace International, Macau Seng Heng Bank, etc.

In 2012, the assets it controlled amounted to 5000 billion Hong Kong dollars, and it was a figure in Macau who covered the sky with one hand.What's more legendary is that, as a gambling king, He Hongshen rarely gambles himself, and his family history is also very legendary, which has been talked about all the time.

"You're welcome. I heard that you are coming to Macau. It's rare to have this opportunity to meet you!"

He Lao smiled and said: "Although we met for the first time, my intuition tells me that you are a person worthy of entrustment!"

Wu Tianyuan was taken aback for a moment, wondering what the gambling king meant?
"Come with me, I need your help with something."

Wu Tianyuan followed Mr. He to the study room. There were thirty or forty Buddha statues on the bookshelf, which was very shocking.

"Ming Yongle Gilt Statue of Maitreya Buddha and Bodhisattva!"

"Yongle gold-plated Vajra statue of Yamantaka!"

"Yongle Gilt Sakyamuni Seated Statue!"

"Ming Dynasty Xuande gold-plated Buddha of immeasurable longevity!"

"Kangxi gilt Buddha of immeasurable longevity!"

"Qianlong White Jade Standing Buddha!"

Wu Tianyuan simply turned around, and any one of them is the pinnacle of the Yongle Xuande and Qing Dynasties!Each piece is worth tens of millions.

"These white-glazed Avalokitesvara statues of Zongdehua in the Ming Dynasty!"

In addition to more than 20 gilt bronze statues, there are more than a dozen white-glazed Avalokitesvara beside them, all of which are He Chaozong's classics in various postures and peaceful expressions.

"You have a good eye, you really didn't choose the wrong person!"

He Hong nodded deeply, and said with a smile: "These are greeting gifts for you, take them away later!"

"This……"

Wu Tianyuan was very surprised, even if the king of gambling has a lot of money and has nowhere to spend it, isn't the gift of meeting for the first time too exaggerated?

"Hahaha, let me make a joke for you!" He Hongshen said happily: "I heard Maverick said that you are a rookie in the cultural relics rescue team, and you have done a lot of great things. These are my life's collections. Before I die, I hope to entrust them to a worthy People you trust. You have a private museum, and if you can see what you like, you can leave it on display, and use your channel to auction the rest, and donate the money to the rescue fund!"

Wu Tianyuan finally understood what the old man meant, did he want to take care of his orphans in danger?Curiously asked: "Why did you choose me? Your children?"

Suddenly Wu Tianyuan saw the old man's face change, and suddenly realized something, shut up quickly!

"Hey, you should have seen the news, some unfilial sons and grandsons are going to court for my little inheritance! Let the whole world see the joke, it's really..."

The old man coughed, and the housekeeper hurriedly asked him to take medicine, and it took him a while to recover.

"I'm sorry, Mr. He, I just..."

He Hong waved his hands deeply, and sighed: "It doesn't matter what you do, it's my own fault! So my collection must never be handed over to them. If I save the cultural relics for the rest of my life and return them, leaving them with them will definitely not lead to good results in the end!"

"This is the last batch of collections. I have donated to the country for the rest of the years. I saw you today as a person worthy of entrustment. My intuition has never been wrong. I will hand over my work to you in the future!"

Wu Tianyuan looked at the gambler who was already at the end of his life, and felt very emotional. No matter how powerful a person is, he will face death in the end.Thinking of the old man who devoted his whole life to rescuing cultural relics, among other things, he saved the Twelve Bronze Capitals and brought them back to China through various channels.In the end, he was able to entrust himself to someone he had never met before, what kind of trust it was!

Mr. He saw Wu Tianyuan's emotions, and said generously: "Everyone is going to die, no one is an exception! It's useless if you don't bring money with you when you die, or if you don't take it with you when you die! After living a lifetime, you have to leave something for future generations? My collection is in the museum, at least some people can think of Ho Hongshen."

"You are a person with great ability, I can feel it. As a senior of the dragon group, I hope you can persevere. There are many people like me, most of whom are overseas Chinese and Chinese businessmen. Although we are far away from our homeland, we are all Yanhuang Children and grandchildren, you have the same belief in your bones, you are not fighting alone!"

Wu Tianyuan's blood boiled instantly. What He Hongshen said was right. In just a few decades, a person must leave something for future generations after death. It is not in vain to come to this world!
"Actually, the sheep's head and the chicken's head were in my hands. At that time..."

Since the gambler trusts him so much, Wu Tianyuan told the old man about the discovery of the bronze head, which can be regarded as a comfort to him.

"Okay, okay, I didn't expect to know their whereabouts before I died!"

The gambling king was excited, and finally calmed down and said: "I have been looking for the remaining five clues these years, but I didn't expect to be in the capital! It is estimated that after Zhao Ruzhen got it by accident, she couldn't bear to let him go overseas, so she hid it."

"Don't worry, since I have fate for them, leave the future to me!"

He Hong looked at the resolute Wu Tianyuan with deep satisfaction. This candidate was not wrong. Even if he died, he would still be considered as a successor.

The old man is not in good health, and today is already overspending. In the end, Wu Tianyuan left the villa with 39 Buddha statues.

Wu Tianyuan and Liu Huasheng went back to the capital together. They had too many treasures in their hands, so it would be safe to put them in the museum first.

"You kid is looking for so many treasures again?"

Liu Huasheng looked at the collection and was shocked. This level is amazing!
Wu Tianyuan and Sun Yuyao finally selected nine Buddha statues, three of Yongle, one of Xuande, and one bronze statue of Kang Yonggan.There are also two Dehua Kiln Avalokitesvara statues of He Chaozong, which are displayed in the Tianyuan Buddha Statue Hall.

"The next session will be called Tathagata, Tathagata! The Buddha Statue session is all from the private collection of gambling king Ho Hung-shen. It is absolutely shocking."

Sun Yuyao was excited, Wu Tianyuan went to Hong Kong and Macau for a tour, and there were a lot of treasures.Originally, I was worrying that there would be no special heavyweight auction in the next auction, but now there is one!
