The evening dinner was held in a private room of a star-rated hotel in the scenic spot, with Li Mo, Qin Sirui, Director Ke and manager Sister Ting. Brown Bear and the others had a separate table next door, and Li Mo had already told them to order whatever they wanted.
"Director Ke, I'm really sorry. I'm allergic to alcohol and I drink it as soon as I drink it. I can only toast you with tea instead of wine today."
"There is nothing to be sorry for. Today is the day I truly meet the man of God. My senior brother Zhang De'an once mentioned you to me during the Spring Festival last year. He also said that your Bajiquan practice has reached its peak, just like the legendary martial arts master. . He was also thinking about creating a movie tailor-made for you, but I’m afraid he has given up on that idea a long time ago.”
Li Mo put down his teacup and asked, "Why?"
"What is your current status, and you still care about that reputation. But I really want to ask you for help with something. Our crew lacks some substitute martial arts masters. You are the descendant of Bajiquan, so naturally you know a lot about this. Martial arts masters, please help recommend a few."
"Bajiquan focuses on close combat, fast, accurate and ruthless. The routines are really different from those commonly seen on TV. However, people who practice martial arts all year round still have their own boxing skills, and they can be put to great use with a little bit of tweaking. Okay, let's turn around. I will arrange for a few people to come over for you to meet, and if appropriate, I will train them."
The two exchanged contact information, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.
When it was about to end, Li Mo received a call from Qin Yali. After he answered the call, he said, "Aunt Qin, has the time for the press conference been confirmed?"
"Tomorrow, we are seven hours ahead of the European side, so we are planning to hold a press conference at one o'clock in the afternoon, and then deliver the content one after another to see how the European side responds. Xiao Mo, you'd better come back tomorrow. When I get to Kyoto, there may be many things that I need to communicate and negotiate with you in person."
"Okay, I'll rush back to Kyoto early tomorrow morning. Sirui is by my side. Do you want to say a few words to her?"
"Forget it, I'm afraid she'll annoy me with my nagging."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Sirui asked softly: "Are you going back tomorrow?"
She was a little disappointed.
"Tomorrow's press conference is very important. One is to announce that we have discovered the true sword of Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, which means that the sword regarded as the treasure of the British Royal Ordnance Museum is a replica. There are also two paintings The oil painting that is enough to become a European national treasure needs to announce our appraisal conclusion. Everything is in my hands. Aunt Qin and the others cannot carry out their work normally without returning it."
"Yes." A smile appeared on Qin Sirui's face, "Have a good trip tomorrow. Send me a text message to let me know when you get to Kyoto."
"good."
At dawn the next day, the three cars drove onto the highway. They would probably be able to reach Kyoto smoothly at night.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the press conference was held as scheduled. The whole process was broadcast live online. Driven by the actions of relevant people, the Internet became lively.
It was already late when Li Mo drove to his grandfather's house. He walked into the yard holding the piece of strange wood. Grandpa was sitting alone on a recliner under the grape trellis. There was an old-fashioned machine on the coffee table next to him, and the singing of Kunqu Opera was coming from it.
"Grandpa, do you still have such an antique at home?"
"Of course, the singing voice produced by such an old antique machine has a unique charm. You don't understand. Hey, what are you holding in your hands?"
"Let's go into the house and show you the good stuff."
When Li Mo saw Qimu placed on the table, he rushed into the kitchen and made a bowl of seafood and shredded pork and egg noodles. He ate a large bowl and walked into the living room.
Shi Lao was slowly scratching with a knife, and he would come up to smell it from time to time.
"Do you see anything?"
"The surface is very weathered, the core of the wood is very hard, and you can smell a very fresh aroma. What kind of wood is this?"
"A piece of Hainan yellow rosewood that has been weathered for decades. The key thing is that it has several burls. If the burls grow all the way to the core of the wood, then the value of the piece of wood will be high. After a few days, I will make A few strings of bracelets, often worn in multiple patterns, are good for the body. Also make some gold and jade tags, which are very classy to wear yourself or give as gifts."
"Is it expensive to make a bracelet?"
"Judging from the degree of weathering on the surface, I guess the color of the wood core is the best purple-black color, which looks black and purple under the sun. This is the best kind. String it into a bead bracelet, and every one of it must be It’s seventy or eighty thousand, and if it’s in good condition, it might cost over one hundred thousand. This thing needs to be met by Bole. If someone doesn’t know the goods and spends a few hundred yuan, it will be too expensive.”
Li Mo drank a few mouthfuls of seafood soup, and his empty stomach finally felt better.
"You brat, can't you just calm down for a while? Why don't you live a comfortable life for a few days? You know how to cause trouble all day long." Shiyi came back from a walk with her grandma. When she saw Li Mo when she entered the house, she was ready to pull his ears.
"Mom, please don't accuse me unfairly. I didn't cause any trouble."
Li Mo ducked aside while holding the bowl.
"You said you didn't cause any trouble. Didn't you read the online reports? There's been a huge commotion online. I'd be surprised if you didn't know."
"Mom, what you said makes me have a problem with you. I didn't even have time to hide. How could I take the initiative to cause trouble? It's obvious that that wasn't my intention."
"Xiao Yi, didn't you see that Xiao Mo is still eating noodles? This child must be starving. I want him to eat well before talking to him."
I felt very distressed when I saw Li Mo hiding while eating.
"Old man, what are you doing with this piece of wood?"
"Broken wood?" Shi Lao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Xiao Mo said that this piece of broken wood can be worth hundreds of thousands. Don't ask any more questions. See what else is delicious in the kitchen. Give Xiao Mo some. Come out and see that this kid is hungry."
"Xiao Mo, if you want to eat anything else, grandma will cook it for you."
"Thank you, grandma. Why don't you fry some poached eggs for me? Just add a little pepper."
"Mom, I'm with you. I'll get angry when I see this troublemaker."
Shiyi held her grandmother's arm and walked to the kitchen.
The seafood soup in Li Mo's mouth suddenly lacked a bit of deliciousness. He said in a dumbfounded way: "Grandpa, is this a disaster coming from the sky when people are sitting at home?"
"Sit down, let me tell you something serious. What do you think about the old chief's affairs?" When talking about this matter, Shi Lao's expression became extremely serious.
"I don't have a clue yet. I'm going to go explore the matter first when Myanmar's public market opens in September. This matter has been secretly carried out many times, but there is no clue, and I may not be able to find it."
"Whether you can find clues or not, you have to pay attention to this matter. That treasure has become a regret for many people. If you can find it, it will fulfill the old chief's biggest wish in his life. By then, even grandpa, Grandpa Qin When you all die, there will be many people above to support you."
Li Mo fell silent.
"Okay, you should think about this carefully. By the way, you should handle the two gifts promised to the old chief as soon as possible, don't delay."
"Just make sure it's in place in these two days, grandpa. I'll go online and check the latest news first."
