Tang Songyuan was slightly surprised, but he quickly covered it up and said with a smile: "The old man is really wise, I can't hide anything from you..."
"Haha, you little naughty boy..." Mr. Lu laughed heartily and said, "I don't mean to blame you."
Then, he suppressed his smile and sighed: "That piece of land has been the place of our Han family since ancient times."
"In the end, due to some historical reasons, hundreds of thousands of Han people were left homeless."
"In the final analysis, we are not strong enough and our waist is not strong enough, so that after decades, it will eventually become a regret..."
Tang Songyuan nodded with deep feeling. He could feel the vicissitudes and helplessness in Mr. Lu's words.
The issues left over from history and the entanglements of national emotions cannot be judged by simple black and white.
But the real sufferers are the innocent people.
"But you did a great job!"
Seeing a trace of confusion and some pity in Tang Songyuan's eyes, Mr. Lu said again:
"Actually, there are many things that we cannot do directly. That would be true and would attract condemnation from the international community."
"But I don't want to get out of here and just revitalize that place...Haha!"
Tang Songyuan said with some embarrassment: "Old man, you praise me again, which makes me feel a little floating."
"Actually, I just wanted to save my master at first, but my strength alone was lacking, so I just muddied the water."
"Let more people and forces participate so that I can achieve my goal. Everything else is just a mistake..."
Mr. Lu nodded after hearing this, with a flash of appreciation in his eyes, "You have some courage and strategy, boy. No wonder you were able to achieve such results in such a short period of time."
He patted Tang Songyuan on the shoulder again, "However, this is just the beginning, the real challenge is yet to come."
"You must remember that no matter what difficulties and challenges you encounter, you must persevere. For the sake of those innocent people, and for the dignity and cultural inheritance of our Han family, you must not give up easily."
After hearing this, Tang Songyuan looked stern and nodded firmly, "Yes, old man, I will remember your teachings, continue to work hard, and never give up!"
Then, Mr. Lu looked at Lu Qiming and others and said:
"So when it comes to doing things, don't be too bound by the rules. The rules are dead and the people are alive."
"But this does not mean that you should not respect the rules, but that you should grasp the essence and core of things and issues,"
"Punch away with one punch, lest hundreds of punches come..."
This is a typical hawkish style, but Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties liked this style very much.
When you encounter a problem, try to solve the problem first, not the person who asked the problem.
Uncle Lu Hongfei and his son could only nod their heads, not daring to refute at all.
Lu Hongfei also echoed: "Dad, it seems that only this girl Qingliu has obtained your old true inheritance."
The old man was about to hit him, but Lu Hongfei quickly jumped away. The old man didn't really want to hit him, so he laughed and scolded him: "Your skin is itchy and you don't need a beating, right..."
The box was suddenly filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
...
The hall of the auction house was also very lively. Even though the auction had not started yet, the guests participating in the auction were still whispering to each other in twos and threes.
In a corner, several middle-aged men were surrounding a white-haired old man. They pointed at the auction catalog in their hands, with solemn expressions on their faces.
"Teacher Ma, look at this pastel flower vase with wrapped branches. It is said to be an authentic product from the Kangxi period. The color and craftsmanship..." A middle-aged man wearing glasses sighed.
"Hmph, nowadays the fakes are becoming more and more sophisticated. Who can guarantee that this is not a high imitation?" Another burly man expressed doubts.
The white-haired old man's eyes were profound, as if he could see through the essence of things. He hummed softly and spoke slowly:
"The appraisal team of Poly Auction House is top-notch in the industry. They will pay ten if they are fake. Do you think they will put the fakes up for auction?"
"That's true. Poly Auction House has always had a good reputation and has never had a fake incident." The middle-aged man wearing glasses nodded and agreed with the old man's view.
The white-haired old man smiled slightly and patted the burly man on the shoulder:
"Xiao Li, your idea is biased. In this industry, credibility is everything."
"Poly Auction House is able to remain at the forefront of the industry, and they have their reasons. Of course, as buyers, we must also have our own vision and judgment..."
Not far away, several women gathered together, and their eyes were attracted by a necklace inlaid with rubies.
"Oh my god, look at how big this ruby is, and look at its size and purity, it's absolutely perfect!" A woman in a red dress exclaimed.
"Yes, but the price must be sky-high." Another woman analyzed calmly:
"Antique necklaces of this level are generally only auctioned by collectors or large consortiums."
"Let's focus on those gold coin sets. In this special auction of Poly, there will be many different types of gold and silver coins..."
In the corner on the other side of the hall, several foreign men with blond hair and blue eyes were also holding Poly's promotional brochures and making comments.
They are not only interested in the upcoming gold and silver coins, but also show their interest in the different styles of porcelain in the album.
A blond man's eyes flashed with admiration, and he said excitedly:
"Oh, Jerry, look at this blue and white glazed porcelain, with a classic story painted on it. It's simply wonderful and breathtakingly beautiful. It's hard to imagine that this was their porcelain craftsmanship more than 400 years ago. It's really amazing. Breathtaking.”
"That's right, Tom. Ancient Chinese porcelain enjoys an international reputation. Their delicacy and charm cannot be imitated by any country." Another man nodded in agreement.
...
As time passed, the lights in the hall gradually dimmed, and the auction was about to begin.
The guests found their seats one after another and waited expectantly for the auctioneer to appear.
Finally, a beautiful auctioneer wearing a cheongsam and a graceful figure walked onto the stage, raised the auction hammer in her hand, and the crisp sound echoed in the hall:
"Dear guests, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the special auction jointly produced by Poly Auction House and Shengtang Ocean Salvage Company, a subsidiary of Tang Dynasty Group."
"I am your old friend Tang Hualing. For this special auction, we have prepared 520 pieces of exquisite porcelain, hundreds of pieces of antique jewelry and a large number of coin sets,"
"Friends who are familiar with our Poly know that we will adopt an auction method with simultaneous bidding on site and online. I hope everyone will have a wonderful harvest today."
"Please invite us for our first auction item today..."
