"This is an invitation letter just for you!"

Sun Yuyao handed the bronzing invitation letter to Wu Tianyuan and said, "I heard that only the highest-level clients are invited to participate, not even Hu Jianmin and Ma Yun are invited. I probably know that you are collecting the collections of the Old Summer Palace, and I am going to kill you, a big local tyrant.

Wu Tianyuan accepted the invitation letter with a smile. Since the last time he packed [-] million Rukawa's old collection, he has received invitations from various colleagues all day long. Whether he knows him or not, as long as there is an auction preview, Wu Tianyuan will focus on customers.

In the eyes of people in the circle, Wu Tianyuan and Liu Yiqian are the top big fat sheep now!Ma Yun and the others are richer, but they have fixed categories of collections, and it is impossible to have everything.

But Wu Tianyuan is different from Liu Yiqian. They are both museums with too many categories, and the more collections they need, the better.Therefore, whether it is porcelain calligraphy and painting, furniture and jade, these traditional items, even miscellaneous stamps, etc., I also like to find them.Maybe people are suddenly interested and come out with tens of millions to play?
A few days ago, I heard that Mr. Ma from Guanfu invested more than [-] million yuan to package all the collections of senior Italian bookmark collectors and directly opened a new exhibition hall. This is the position of a museum.Originally, collecting was a hobby with a strong personal tendency, but after becoming a museum, I considered it more comprehensively.

Turning a hobby into a career is painful at first!

"I heard you're going to Hong Kong tomorrow to participate in the Jiashide Old Summer Palace auction? I'll call the Tianyuan Club and ask if you need ammunition?"

In the evening, Hu Jianmin pulled Wu Tianyuan out for dinner, and when he entered the door, everyone else was there. It turned out that they heard that Wu Tianyuan was going to grab the collection of the Old Summer Palace, and everyone spontaneously mobilized before the war.

Hu Jianmin said seriously: "I read the auction catalog, among other things, our museum is bound to get the six imperial chime bells made by Qianlong!"

Wu Tianyuan nodded, the main purpose of his trip this time was to snatch back six golden chimes, and he had eight in his hand, plus these six, a set of sixteen and the last two were in the Fontainebleau Museum in France.

"The pair of red sandalwood incense burners placed in front of Zhengda Guangming Hall are also important items. They should be the same as the ones displayed in Fontainebleau, so we must take them back!"

Ma Yun said loudly, he also read the brochure, and couldn't forget the pair of huge red sandalwood incense burners.

"Don't talk nonsense, there are only [-] pieces in total, and that bastard Erjin snatched our treasures, you boy packed them all back!"

Hengda's Xu Jiayin is from the south. His Mandarin is not very standard, but he is very domineering. He invests huge sums of money in football for the purpose of revitalizing the national football team. He is also an entrepreneur with a sense of mission.

"That's why we asked you to come out today!" Liu Chuanzhi is the vice president of Tianyuanhui, he has the highest prestige, and he is called Boss Liu in private.

"Since we are destined to form Tianyuanhui, we all like to collect. To put it bluntly, we are obsessed with the culture of our ancestors. I appreciate the practice of the RB collection circle. At the end of World War II, Europe auctioned off RB loot, hoping to make a fortune through patriotism .But the RB people are very smart and don’t fight for it. They only send one representative to go, and everyone supports them behind the scenes. If they have money, they can contribute their strength! Take the treasure back to the country first, and then distribute it after closing the door, avoiding cannibalism , and also protected cultural relics.”

Wu Tianyuan suddenly understood their purpose and was very moved. He looked at a few sincere smiling faces. These are the Confucian businessmen in China!
Hu Jianmin patted Wu Tianyuan and said with a smile: "It's nothing. In fact, many people have been doing this, especially overseas Chinese, who donate at least billions of cultural relics back to China every year. If they can do this, we should work harder."

"That's right. We didn't have any suitable candidates before. Now that we have you and the Tianyuan Museum, you are the most suitable one. From now on, you will be the spokesperson and responsible for grabbing treasures at the auction house. How about we distribute them internally when we come back?"

Everyone agreed, they had discussed it long ago, Wu Tianyuan had vision, ability, and cleanliness, so he was the most suitable candidate.This Yuanmingyuan auction is an experiment, and after it is successful, it will become a regular item of Tianyuanhui.

"Since the elder brothers trust the younger brother, it is their duty!"

Wu Tianyuan stood up, picked up a glass of wine and said emotionally: "In the future, Tianyuan will advance and retreat together!"

"Advance and retreat together!"

Hu Jianmin, Ma Yun, Liu Chuanzhi, Li Yanming, Ma Tengfei, Li Dongqiang, and Xu Jiayin all spoke together, and the top collection club in China was formally established.

There is Minqiu Jingshe in Hong Kong, Qingwan Yaji in Taiwan, and Tianyuanhui in China now!
"As the deputy curator of the museum, I will take the lead first, take out [-] million, and reserve [-] million. Your kid will get it right away with a phone call!"

Hu Jianmin grandly announced that he was actually the least wealthy among them, but because he was the first to support Wu Tianyuan and had the closest relationship, he had the right to speak second only to Boss Liu.

"How stingy, only [-] million!"

Ma Yun curled his lips, and said disdainfully: "I will pay [-] million, if it is not enough, add more!"

Not to be outdone, Xu Jiayin said, "I'll also contribute [-] million, and the West Lake project will stop first!"

"I offer [-] million!"

"[-] million is no problem!"

Wu Tianyuan smiled wryly, had a good meal, and the food cost more than a billion!In the end, watching them intensify, he hurriedly stopped and said, "Bosses, how about listening to me?"

"A Yuanmingyuan auction won't cost hundreds of millions! This time, there are six buyers participating, four from Europe, one RB, and me. I have prepared [-] million, so it should be no problem!"

Wu Tianyuan looked at what Hu Jianmin wanted to say, waved his hand and said, "I know everyone's feelings. In the future, there will be opportunities to spend money. If there are really top collectors to pack their collections, none of them can't afford seven or eight hundred million! So our Tianyuan will be slow. Slow down, if you don't make a move, you will be a blockbuster!"

Wu Tianyuan suggested: "I went to Hong Kong to visit the collection system of the senior members of Minqiu Jingshe, such as the Ming-style furniture of the chairman Ye Chengyao, with hundreds of exquisite pieces. Ge Lao of Tianmin Building, more than 30 pieces of Yuan blue and white, and There are Zhang Zongxian and others. Since you all have your own favorite categories, you will form a special system in the future, specialize in one category, and collect the collections in your hands to the extreme."

A few people nodded. They also had this idea. The collection is extensive and profound. No matter how rich they are, it is impossible to collect all of them. They can only choose the most fateful ones to form a personal system.

"Hu Jianmin is calligraphy and seals, Ma Yun is copper stoves and swords, Li Yanming is a study room, and Liu Boss is calligraphy and painting. You all have your own preferences. As long as you continue to specialize, you will definitely become a great collector like Minqiu Jingshe."

Wu Tianyuan finally smiled and said: "In business, everyone is a big expert. The more high-quality goods, the easier it is to appreciate and maintain value. Not only do I like it, but in the end it is investment, killing two birds with one stone!"

"Okay, let's do it!"

Boss Liu excitedly said: "I have seen the system of big collectors in Hong Kong. They are much higher than those in the mainland in terms of aesthetics and vision. The collection is purposeful, and only the most representative collections of a dynasty are collected. It is better to lack than to overflow! I studied the last time Rukawa I am very impressed by the research done by the RB people on the old collection, all of which are high-quality goods, which can represent the different stages of the masters of each era, and it will benefit a lot from reading it, this is the essence of the collection.”

Li Yanming also agreed: "That's right, I'm the latest collector here. I used to like to buy random things. I didn't have a lot of money but the quality was poor. After I really saw Qianlong's imperial system, I went back and packed garbage to give away! Although the high-quality goods are expensive, But it's worth the money, it's cheaper than buying a lot of junk!"

"Your boy has finally come to his senses!"

Several people laughed, collection is like this, a house full of ordinary products is not as good as a high-quality one, as for whether you can buy real products?Can it be picked up at a low price?Then it depends on personal ability!
