Lu Xin suddenly remembered that Jiang Xueqing mentioned to him that there was a rich man in Jiangzhou who loved antiques and collected antiques. He had a high status in the antique industry in China. He also set up a private museum himself, which is the most powerful among private museums in China. He claimed that there was no fake.

He asked tentatively: "You are Mr. Wang Gongquan?"

Wang Gongquan smiled slightly: "Did we know each other before?"

Lu Xin smiled and said, "You may not know me, I recognize you. You are a master of the antique industry!"

Wang Gongquan laughed and said, "Young man, you should understand that this is just a hype by the TV media. Compared with the masters of the Palace Museum, what am I? I am still a rookie in the antique industry!"

Lu Xin sighed: "Teacher Wang, you are too modest. If you are a rookie in the antique industry, what am I, a vegetable worm?"

Wang Gongquan shook his head gently and said with a serious expression: "I don't know your specific situation. I only talk about my own. The more I know about antiques and cultural relics, the more I find that I have many things that I don't understand and are uncertain. I have to be humble even if I don't want to be humble. After all, in the vast river of history, I am just a drop of water at best. How can water know the length of a river?"

Lu Xin really thinks that Wang Gongquan is too modest. Although Lu Xin doesn't deal with people in the antique industry very much, he has encountered many metal antiques over the years, and has a close connection with the antique industry because of the female thief Jiang Xueqing. He knows from Jiang Xueqing that Wang Gongquan was also a thief from the Swallow Sect before. Later, he became a good person and stopped stealing. Instead, he used his rich cultural relics knowledge and unique vision to look for leaks everywhere in the world. Although there are occasional insights, most of the time he can make a big fortune with small investments. He has gained great returns with very little investment. In recent years, the gold of the prosperous antiques and chaotic times has become more and more fanatical. Wang Gongquan's personal collection appreciates greatly. It is said that if all his collections are auctioned, his assets are definitely astronomical, no less than Lu Xin's.

Moreover, Wang Gongquan was the first to open a private museum in Jiangnan Province. He opened a museum not to make money. After all, the income from those tickets was far from keeping up with the maintenance costs. He built a private museum. It was simply to give children an environment to understand history and culture. In addition, Wang Gongquan also actively devoted himself to the cause of education and supported the establishment of more than a dozen schools aimed at promoting ancient Chinese culture.

For Lu Xin, what he cares most about now is money and women. He always feels that he is vulgar, but he can't change it. He is a vulgar man, but he admires a person like Wang Gongquan who has a lot of things in his heart.

Lu Xin can only say that he has a slight understanding of antiques now, but he has extremely special insights into metal antiques because he has the superpower of controlling gold and can clearly know the internal structure of metal antiques. From this perspective, he can also give Wang Gongquan a lot of inspiration.

Wang Gongquan looked at Lu Xin with appreciation: "It is really rare to be able to understand antiques so well at your age. I have never studied it so seriously when I was at your age."

The more they talked, the more speculative they became. Lu Xin gradually strengthened his idea during the exchange with Wang Gongquan.

He originally wanted to donate all the Japanese national treasures and the paintings of the Southern Song Dynasty to the government and to the higher-level museums, but later he was worried about the ethics of specific departments and bureaucrats. He was confused for a moment. This time he met Wang Gongquan. He saw another bright way to deal with those cultural relics, which could be handed over to Wang Gongquan's private museum. He believed that Wang Gongquan's character would not be embezzled, nor would he cooperate with the Japanese for small profits.

Lu Xin really wanted to tell Wang Gongquan what he thought earlier, so that he could transfer the cultural relics to Wang Gongquan as soon as possible, but he had no contact with Wang Gongquan before. His understanding of Wang Gongquan was mostly in newspaper and public opinion. Most of the public opinion was bad for Wang Gongquan, which made Lu Xin a little resentful. He didn't want to expose himself so early, so he continued to pretend to be a Chinese college student studying in Japan.

Wang Gongquan has been active all over the world over the years, finding bargains everywhere, and has not really been in Jiangzhou for much time. Lu Xin has risen quickly in Jiangzhou in recent years and is also very low-key. These two super rich people from Jiangzhou have never met before.

Lu Xin sighed that he was doing economy class because he was the identity of another person, so there was no need for Wang Gongquan to go to economy class. He could go to first class. According to Wang Gongquan, first class is not much more comfortable than economy class, but it is so much more expensive. The extra money can be found in many ways around the world, and it can also help several students go to school. Why waste it on personal enjoyment?

Lu Xin just admires Wang Gongquan's approach. He will never do that, because he advocates making money for the sake of enjoyment and will never sacrifice his own comfort for others.

After talking a lot, Wang Gongquan hit it off at first sight and trusted Lu Xin very much, so he told him a lot about the antique industry.

Wang Gongquan left a very good impression on Lu Xin. He is very sincere, very well-educated, open-minded, kind and envious. He is a person worthy of trust and trust.

Lu Xin wanted to entrust all the things except the Golden Buddha I got from Japan this time to Wang Gongquan.

He then shifted the topic to the theft incident at the Japanese Imperial House Museum, and asked in surprise: "Teacher Wang, I have visited the Imperial House Museum and seen the so-called local national treasures in Japan. In terms of artistic value and historical value, I think they are not as good as our domestic ones. For example, the thing called splashing ink landscape painting looks very ordinary. I don't understand why the Japanese have the face to treat that thing as a national treasure!"

Wang Gongquan laughed and said, "What you want to say is "Snow Boat Splashing Ink Landscape Picture". I don't have a deep study of calligraphy and painting, and I can't say it well, but I think you have a little underestimated Japanese culture. Since the Tang Dynasty, Japan has admired Chinese culture very much and actively studied. After more than a thousand years of accumulation, although Japanese culture was born in China, it has its own unique beauty. Japan also attaches great importance to the protection of traditional culture. In the past hundred years, wars in China have been everywhere. After the war has subsided, there has been a series of movements, which has greatly damaged the vitality of Chinese culture and is not one hundred. People often say

If you want to study Chinese culture, you are wrong to come to the inland. If you want to study Tang and Song culture, you go to Japan. If you want to study Ming and Qing culture, you go to Korea. If you want to study Yuan dynasty culture, you go to Mongolia. If you want to study a certain movement, you go to North Korea. Alas, this sounds ridiculous. If you want to savor it carefully, it is very sad. Alas, let's get back to the point. The historical and cultural value of the painting you mentioned cannot be underestimated. You must know that Japan plunders hundreds of thousands of cultural relics from China, and only one hundred can be called a first-class national treasure. Even if this snow boat picture is one of them, it is enough to prove its value." (To be continued)
