Chapter 117 Old Sun's Promise
"Old Sun, I have another request. I don't know if you can agree."
After basically settled, Man Jun hesitated for a while and said, "If our museum acquired this Yongle Ceremony, I hope that the acquisition price will not be announced to the public. You also know that I have been a bit big after taking it."
"I can agree to this condition, let's do it, I'll communicate with Director Qian now." Sun Lianda still appreciates Manjun's mentality very much. If he can understand the principle that wood is so beautiful that the forest wind will be destroyed, the road ahead of Manjun will be easier and easier.
"Xiaoman, Director Qian said that he agreed to this matter in principle, and I think there is no problem with it."
It was related to the ownership of this Yongle version of the Yongle Ceremony. Sun Lianda attached great importance to it, for fear that someone would buy it first, so he called the current director of the Jinling Museum in front of everyone and told the whole story.
As a well-known domestic appraisal expert and former leader of the museum, Sun Lianda's words were undoubtedly very useful. When he heard that it was the original work of Yongle, Director Qian agreed on the phone and held a meeting on Monday to confirm the use of the special funds.
"Old Sun, that's great, thank you so much."
When Man Jun heard Sun Lianda's words, he felt relieved that he had been hanging in his throat. When Sun Lianda initially asked him to donate this Yongle Ceremony, Man Jun was really afraid that Old Master Sun would be transferred to his Yongle Ceremony.
"It's not that you thank me, it's that I want to thank you."
Sun Lianda smiled and shook his head. He knew that he had only spent 2 million to buy the Yongle version of the Yongle Ceremony. The price was really low. Manjun could sell it so happily, but it was somewhat worth seeing his own face.
Sun Lianda thought for a while and then said, "Xiaoman. If you have any items you can't get in the future, you can show me."
After thinking about it, Sun Lianda didn't expect anything he could repay Manjun. But he was a person who didn't like to owe favors, so he could only make an exception to help Manjun in his professional field. This was also the biggest promise Sun Lianda could make.
"Ah Mr. Sun, that's a big trouble for you."
Hearing Sun Lianda's words, Man Jun felt a heat flowing in his heart. He really didn't expect that selling this Yongle ceremony would actually bring about a promise that Mr. Sun could not buy with such a huge fortune.
In fact, Man Jun decided to sell this Yongle Ceremony to the Jinling Museum. Sun Lianda's face was only one side, but on the other side, Man Jun was afraid that if the water was full, he would be jealous of many people if he picked up such a big leak.
If he sells a high price at a high price, then when Man Jun is doing business in the industry in the future, many people will be embarrassed by his jealousy, intentionally or unintentionally. This is also the reason why he proposed to Mr. Sun that he would not announce the museum purchase price.
Another point is that the price of two million may not seem high, but it can be taken by Man Jun after tax. Compared with the many expenses required for auction and the envy of others, these two million will undoubtedly be more down-to-earth.
"In the past, my idea might be a bit narrow. In fact, antique business can also protect cultural relics to some extent."
Sun Lianda waved his hand, and he had never had contact with antique dealers before. After getting along with Man Jun during this period, he found that antique dealers were not profit-oriented people. When facing big troubles, they often stood firm.
"By the way, Xiaoman, let's keep this book in the museum." Sun Lianda pointed to the restored Yongle Ceremony on the table and said.
"No problem, I'm still worried when I take it back." Man Jun agreed immediately, and as people like Sun Lianda Yuxuan and Zhao Hongtao, he naturally would not be greedy for such a book as him.
"Okay, let's get here today"
After working for the whole afternoon, Sun Lianda felt exhausted and said, "Lao Yu. It's not easy for you to come to Jinling. I'll treat you to the evening. Let's have a good drink. As far as I said, don't go to any restaurant, so go to Xiaoman's house and let Fang Yi cook in the kitchen for you to taste."
"Oh Xiao Fang has this skill." Yu Xuan looked at Fang Yi in surprise and said, "Xiao Fang, my brother is a gourmet. He can recommend you to cook, which shows that you must have some unique skills."
"Old Yu, what's the unique skill? It's just cooking and cooking since childhood."
Fang Yi smiled when he heard this. He and his master were both practitioners of Taoism, and the six senses were much more sensitive than ordinary people. Although the ingredients were scarce, they were very particular about the taste of the food. It was not uncommon to cook a good dish.
"Xiao Fang, the word "familiar" is easy to do. Isn't the words "I don't have any other words, but I'm just familiar with it?"
When Yu Xuan heard Fang Yi's words, he extended an ancient text. People like them who are well-versed in the past can tell a lot of allusions at will, which made Bai Chuxia, who was beside him listen with relish.
"Lao Yu, this meal cannot be eaten for nothing." Listening to the conversation between the two, Sun Lianda looked at Yu Xuan with a smile.
"Brother, I have only such skills, you have to calculate."
Seeing the meaningful smile on Sun Lianda's face, Yu Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Okay, I'll live in Jinling for a while. As for how much Xiao Fang can learn, it depends on himself."
The inheritance of antique shops is clearly different from the sects in the world before. It is very common for antique shops to learn skills. Not to mention it, even in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, many shopkeepers of antique shops grew up from errands.
At the beginning, no one taught them any knowledge about antiques. They all remembered them bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit. Of course, some lucky ones would be accepted as apprentice by the shopkeeper and gradually grew up.
"Thank you, Mr. Yu" Fang Yi has such a smart personality. When he heard the conversation between the teacher and Yu Xuan, he immediately understood that it was the teacher who asked Yu Xuan to give him guidance in the future, and he quickly said thank you.
"Don't thank me, I'll like you, too," Yu Xuan smiled and said, "But if the dishes you cook don't suit my taste, this good thing will be gone."
"Old Yu, don't worry, the dishes cooked by Fang Yi are unique."
Man Jun helped Fang Yi brag, "To be honest, Mr. Yu, you said, I, who are all restaurants every day, after eating the dishes cooked by Fang Yi, I am unwilling to go to the restaurant again. You can see it tonight."
"Okay, let's go there, Hong Tao, you lock this book in the warehouse first." Sun Lianda clapped his hands and stood up. After five or six years of retirement, he rarely repaired cultural relics by himself. The smell of the potion in the restoration room was really not very pleasant.
"Chuxia, are you going to have dinner with us or go back first?" After walking out of the museum, Yu Xuan looked at the girl he brought. Today was a gathering of a group of big men, and Bai Chuxia might not be willing to follow him.
"Old Yu, someone cooks, why don't I go? The canteen in the bureau is so unpalatable."
Hearing Yu Xuan's words, Bai Chuxia was not as tempted as an ordinary girl. Moreover, after today's contact, she found that Fang Yi was a little confused, and subconsciously wanted to have more contact with him.
