The so-called gold in troubled times, a collection in prosperous times.

In the early nineties, China naturally could not be regarded as a prosperous era, and the value of these antiques could not be high.

In the turmoil after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the tomb of Confucius, the Temple of Bawang, the tomb of Huo Quai, the temple of the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing, the tomb of Wang Xi, the tomb of Bao Qingtian, and the tomb of Hai Rui were destroyed

One name after another can be connected into a brief history of China, and even the history of the ancestors is not respected, can they be expected to care much about antiques?

Most of the ones that Mr. Han bought from the United States are national treasures, and they are very famous abroad, and the prices are speculated by foreigners, and the collectors among them have a love for Chinese fine porcelain and calligraphy and painting, beyond imagination.

Therefore, many people smuggle precious cultural relics abroad to sell them cheaply, and it is estimated that foreigners did not expect that in the future, Chinese people can have money and buy these things back, which is simply crazy.

In the nineties, customs were not strictly guarded, and people with collectibles smuggled antiques out for money, and more precious cultural relics have been exported abroad in recent times than have been destroyed in the sixties and seventies.

Many of the old man's collections were bought under such circumstances, and now that Han Xuan has returned to Huaxia, he has found that antiques are cheaper than he imagined, how can he not be surprised?

A set of rosewood Taishi chairs from the Ming Dynasty only cost 16,000 yuan to buy, which is equivalent to less than 2,000 US dollars!

Two Qing Dynasty Huanghuali double claw pattern chairs, only 9,000 yuan!

Qing Dynasty rosewood inlaid dyed tooth interstitial seat screen, 31,000 pieces, Qing Dynasty red sandalwood carved cloud dragon pattern throne, 47,000 pieces.

A complete set of yellow rosewood tunic overlord square stools, plus yellow rosewood leg spread half table, and a yellow rosewood folding mirror table, a total of more than 70,000 pieces.

The most expensive is a set of red square tables in the Qing Dynasty, which cost more than 90,000 yuan, all of which are old things that are wide open, and Guo Muzhou can recognize them.

Other ancient coins, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, miscellaneous ware, etc., did not dare to buy, and they had to wait for the old man to come over or invite experts before they could continue to sweep the goods.

This is the best time to play collectibles.

Han Xuan went to the bank and offered a full 1 million yuan, and spent an afternoon to buy all the old furniture of the entire Liuli factory.

When the old man heard about this, he was so excited that he didn't sleep well all night, so he invited six experts from the Shanghai Museum overnight, and the next morning, under their leadership, he walked around the Shanghai market.

There is a bank's cash truck following, which is responsible for giving money, as long as it is a good thing that is willing to sell, take it all!

If you can't take it out, you won't bring it, Han Xuan feels that if you go to Yanjing for a turn, you can almost build a super luxurious private museum!

Maybe it would be a good idea to borrow my grandfather and grandfather's antiques from the Monterey Bay Indian Chief Museum.

He followed the two elders around for a long time, only knowing that it was a good thing, but he didn't understand it at all.

It was close to noon.

Han Xuan separated from them, and when he passed by the City God Temple, it was already in ruins, and a large area of land was full of ashes and broken tiles, and no one had come to clean it up.

On the way, I also saw a house like the chartered mother-in-law in "Kung Fu", and I went down to take a look, but unfortunately there was no chartered wife who smoked, there were only more than 40 households, the house belonged to the state, and no one collected rent.

I found a resident who was familiar with Shanghai to lead the way, and drove through the city to the northeast.

After arriving at the beach, he drove the car to the ferry and went to Chongming Island, Han Xuan wanted to go to the Snow Mountain University invested by the old man.

The water is still clear, dolphins leap out of the water from time to time, dilapidated fishing boats are fishing not far away, and waves from huge ferries splash on the deck.

The boat was full of people who looked like peasant workers, and they exchanged their heads and ears, pointing at the two luxury Mercedes Benzes, plus a police car, and their envy was displayed on their faces.

Han Xuan looked at the East China Sea by the ferry, and the last steamer back to Shanghai departed at six o'clock in the afternoon, which was already a little faster, and there was not much time left for them.

The distance between Chongming Island and Shanghai is farther than he imagined, and it takes about three hours to pass from Pudong District.

The ferry sailed slowly, and at about two o'clock, it finally arrived at Nanmen Port.

Get on the bus and be led by the police to Dongping National Forest Park, where Snow Mountain University is nearby.

Chongming Island has clean water and clear winds, there are natural scenery everywhere that have not been chiseled by artificial axes, the land is flat and fertile, and many trees have been planted in order to fix this sand island.

Walking straight along a dirt road, about a distance of more than ten kilometers, some castle-like buildings with red walls and dark blue roofs appear in front of you.

In this winter, there is a large area of artificial green grass around Snow Mountain University.

The entire campus is built in the Western style, surrounded by a beautiful wall, which encloses the 6,000-acre campus.

If you drive around the asphalt road next to the school, you can see the towering clock tower inside.

After talking to the doorman, he entered through the main gate with two huge bronze lions more than five meters high, and a whole piece of marble at the door was engraved with the ten words "Snow Mountain University" in gold.

The inscription is Han Qi, it seems to be a brush written by the old man, and there is an English name in the lower row.

Drive in from the wide stone path, and there are stone sculptures of the zodiac on both sides.

The transplanted pine tree is straight, and there is a large green area under the tree, and many pine needles and leaves have fallen.

At the end of the road, there is a full-length bronze statue of the old man, standing on a high platform in the center of the fountain, and the school motto "Serve the party and the country, serve the people" is engraved on the base below.

Han Xuan laughed out loud, this is definitely not what the old man thinks, it is completely plagiarizing the motto of Princeton University.

Some of the buildings are not yet finished, and there are more than 80 under construction, spread across the huge campus, which looks a little empty.

This is only the first phase of the project, and a lot of vacant land has been reserved for further development.

Snow Mountain University will implement elite education in the future, with a dormitory of 120 square meters for three people, in addition to a separate room for each person, there is also a living room, a bathroom, and a kitchen, which directly raises the level of Huaxia's university dormitory for decades!

Han Xuan was envious, and even installed an air conditioner and a water heater.

Satisfied and laughed, with this kind of campus environment, no school can compare to it in another thirty years.

When I saw the list of donors, I found that in addition to the 50 million dollars of the old man, my grandfather also donated 20 million US dollars, my grandmother also donated 10 million, and I even saw my father's name, which was also 10 million.

With my father's door-picking personality, it is equivalent to digging meat in my heart.

The extra money from building the school will be used as a scholarship in the future, and there will be follow-up donations to supplement it to help students who cannot afford to go to school to waive the cost.

Han Xuan was quite satisfied with this school, but he noticed that this lonely school, with no supporting facilities, and the dilapidated Chongming County, would definitely not be able to arouse the interest of students.

After making money, he also wants to give back to the society, and he thinks about redeveloping a small city in the surrounding area to give students space to relax and play (to be continued). )
