Chapter 146 The Republic of China F4
Wu Tianyuan followed Fatty Cao to the presidential suite of the hotel. Although Hiroaki Yamanaka owed huge gambling debts, he was a son of a wealthy family with a background after all, so he couldn't be neglected.

"Fatty, are you here to collect debts again? Didn't I say that if there is a buyer, you can exchange money immediately!"

A greasy-haired, pink-faced boy yelled in fluent Chinese, and patted the blond beauty next to him lewdly, telling them to leave.

"Master in the mountains, this time I'm not here to collect debts, but to introduce you to a big client. This is Boss Wu. He has auctions and museums in his hands. Billionaires, you two should have a good talk."

Fatty Cao gave Wu Tianyuan a wink, then turned and left.Shanzhong curiously looked at Wu Tianyuan, who was also in his 20s, and said with a smile, "You just spent [-] million to buy Wu Tianyuan from the Ruchuan family's collection?"

"Yes, it's me!"

Wu Tianyuan sat down, poured himself a glass of wine, and said disdainfully: "You are the famous prodigal son of the mountain family?"

Yamanaka chuckled, and was not angry. Instead, he poured himself a glass of wine, invited him from the air, took a sip happily and said, "Hiroming Yamanaka, please give me your advice!"

Wu Tianyuan's heart sank, it seems that the so-called prodigal son's city mansion is very deep, not necessarily as simple as it appears on the surface, interesting!
"You owe 800 million U.S. dollars, which is not a small amount. I heard that there is an old collection of Prince Gong's Mansion. Let's talk about it?"

Shan Zhongyi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I just like happy people. Twelve pieces of red sandalwood palace furniture are all family secrets. Take away 1000 million US dollars!"

Wu Tianyuan took the photo, looked it over, and nodded, twelve pieces of imperial red sandalwood furniture, more than 6000 million, yes!

"I heard that you are in a bad situation now. The two elder brothers are waiting for your father to die and compete for the position of the family?"

For the first time, Yamanaka Hongming became serious, looked at Wu Tianyuan and said, "What do you want to say?"

"Nothing, just curious!"

Wu Tianyuan smiled and said: "I don't think you are as simple as you appear on the surface! You just want to make friends. I guess you probably know some of my details. They are all people in the industry. Maybe there is a chance to cooperate?"

"Cooperation?" Yamanaka picked up a glass of wine with a wry smile and drank it down: "Once the old man dies, I will be the first to be kicked out of the family. How can I cooperate?"

"That's not necessarily true!" Wu Tianyuan straightened his body, stared at the mountain with burning eyes, and said word by word: "Have you ever heard of Wu Wang Goujian, who tried his best?"

A strange light flashed in Shanzhong's eyes, he laughed loudly and said, "I don't understand what you mean!"

"Whatever you want, it's too early to say anything now. But I advise you, keep your identity well, it may be your biggest hole card in the future!"

Yamanaka Hongming was silent for a while, stood up and walked in front of Wu Tianyuan, stretched out his hand and said, "I owe you a favor this time, if there is a chance to cooperate in the future, there will be a reward!"

The next thing is also simple, Wu Tianyuan bought 1000 pieces of furniture from Prince Kung's Mansion in the Shanzhong family for [-] million US dollars, and shipped them all back to the museum. shopping!

"What are you going to do, kid? I heard from Lao Ren that you want to decorate a study room?"

Hu Jianmin looked at the drawings curiously, and sighed: "The red sandalwood dragon pattern throne, a couch with cloud and dragon patterns, a large painting table with cloud and dragon patterns, two pairs of rattan chairs with comb backs with five screens, and a large cabinet with Lilong pattern and Baibao Pavilion..."

Wu Tianyuan smiled and said, "Don't you think these furniture can just be combined into a study room? The most famous Sanxi Hall of Lord Qianlong is also equipped with this configuration."

"What? You want to decorate Sanxi Hall!"

Hu Jianmin was shocked. What is the Sanxi Hall? Lord Qianlong reads and reviews memorials every day. It is famous for preserving the authentic works of the Three Kings.Now it is the most important exhibition hall of the Forbidden City, the top match of the emperor.

"What's wrong, now there is a complete set of imperial furniture, porcelain, blue and white three-color porcelain, calligraphy, jade seals, study rooms, tea sets, and even dragon robes and treasured swords!"

Hu Jianmin's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands excitedly, and shouted: "That's right! The existing treasures in the museum can definitely be arranged into an emperor's study room, and they are the authentic replica of Lord Qianlong!"

"The only thing missing now is Sanxi Baotie. The authentic works of the Three Kings are too precious. Each one is a national treasure, but it depends on human effort. Maybe we will meet again next time?"

Hu Jianmin had absolute confidence in Wu Tianyuan, and sooner or later Tianyuan Museum would have its own Sanxi Hall. After the two discussed it, they took out two exhibition halls, one for the Sanxi Hall emperor's study room, and the other for the Yuanmingyuan exhibition hall.In this way, visitors can directly feel the atmosphere at that time, which is more shocking.

Wu Tianyuan rested for a day, finished dealing with Zhongzheng's affairs, and then followed the clues to Tianjin to find the treasure of Yuan Kewen, one of the four sons of the Republic of China.

Yuan Kewen, nicknamed Hanyun, was born in Xiangcheng, Henan, a master of Kunqu opera, and one of the four sons of the Republic of China.Known as the head of the Tianjin Youth Gang during the Republic of China, the second son of President Yuan Shikai of the Republic of China
It is known as "there are Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng in the south, and Yuan Hanyun, the leader of Jinbei Gang in the north."Familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, proficient in calligraphy and painting, likes poetry and songs, and also likes to collect calligraphy, paintings, antiques, etc.Later, because he opposed Yuan Shikai's proclaiming emperor, he lived an unrestrained life and had many wives and concubines, which offended his father and fled to Tianjin.

"Yuan Kewen can be said to be a real playboy character, eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and sampling. He also spent money to join the Youth Gang and became an "old man" of the "big generation". Except for his wife Liu Meizhen, he He also married 5 concubines, and there are even more mistresses who have no titles or one-time love, according to insiders, there are seventy or eighty."

After Wu Tianyuan studied his information, he admired him very much. Seeing that he is a son of the Republic of China, he is better than the wimpy last emperor!

The destination this time is the former site of the Green Gang, and now it is said that it has become a teahouse club, Wu Tianyuan just came to see if there is any clue.

He walked into the teahouse, the decoration was average, it was just an ordinary teahouse, he went around a few rooms, and came to the highest-class private room, ordered Longjing, and drank it by himself.

"Boss, do you sell this teahouse?"

Wu Tianyuan asked the waiter to find the boss, and straight to the point, he wanted to buy the teahouse.

After several rounds of bargaining, this small teahouse was bought for 500 million yuan. After everyone left, Wu Tianyuan went to the basement, hired workers to break the foundation, and then started digging for treasures.

"Yuan Kewen buried his most precious collection underground during the war. Since the old site has not been demolished, it should still be there. Dig!"

Wu Tianyuan bought the teahouse after exchanging with the old furniture left in the private room, to see if the treasure is still there?

Yuan Kewen was fond of collecting books and antiques. He was good at appreciating books and paintings. He often bought ancient books, gold and stones, calligraphy and paintings, coins, stamps, etc. with huge sums of money.

Relying on his father's relationship, within a few years, he has acquired hundreds of Song and Yuan Mingjing from great book collectors such as Lu Wenxuan, Mo Youzhi, Xu Fang, Wu Changshou, Yang Shoujing, and Deng Bangshu.

Yuan Kewen is bold and unrestrained by nature, and when he sees the engraved edition of Song and Yuan Dynasties, he will try to buy it.Most of the books in the collection are in the collection of the Qing court. He is especially fond of the collection of eight kinds of Song Jin box editions, "Book of Changes", "Shangshu", "The Analects of Confucius", and "Mencius", and the "Eight Classics Room" is set up to store them.

In 1926, he entrusted Tao Xiang to make photocopies and bought dozens of high-quality products from Sheng Yu’s family collection, such as the 70-volume engraved edition of "Book of Rites and Justice" during the reign of Shaoxi in the Southern Song Dynasty. Historians call it "the first unique copy in China". They all have Ji Zhenyi's Tibetan seal, and these treasures have disappeared since then.

"It really is here! This is the 70 volumes of the legendary "Book of Rites and Justice"!"

Wu Tianyuan finally found the treasure box, and he found the missing ancient books and many calligraphy inscriptions at the bottom of the box.

"This is Wang Xianzhi's Bingshe post? And Wang Xizhi's seal script Linbei!"
