Hello 1983

  Chapter 1005 Do you still want to show some face?

   Sure enough, as Liu Qingshan expected, the next day's newspapers were full of news that the dumb grandfather was going to treat Hawking.

   And these news all praised the dumb grandpa's medical skills, as if as long as he went, the disease would be cured.

  Of course Liu Qingshan knows that how much these guys praise Master now, how much they will be demoted in the future.

   If there is no one behind the scenes, Liu Qingshan would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.

  No way, the tree attracts the wind, just like what he told Grace: If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

   Now it's his turn, it's the turn of traditional Chinese medicine.

  Fortunately, seeing Master calm and relaxed, Liu Qingshan had a little bit of confidence in his heart, and now he can only take one step at a time.

  Professor Degener was really stubborn. He urged Liu Qingshan and the others to set off on the second day after the awards ceremony.

  So Liu Qingshan bid farewell to his supervisor, Professor Peter, and handed over his thesis to his supervisor.

  In addition, Tommy also led the medical team and continued to fight on the African continent.

  Huang Xuanting and the others also flew back to the United States to work hard for the construction of a traditional Chinese medicine hospital.

  Little Six also reluctantly bid farewell to this group of friends. Before parting, little princess Sophia solemnly hooked up with Little Six again.

  The rest of the people, accompanied by Liu Qingshan, went to England for a transit.

  The whole of Europe is not that big. It arrived in London that afternoon, and the embassy came to welcome it.

  Liu Qingshan pushed Leader Geng and Dr. Zhang Hong to the embassy. He and the dumb grandfather happened to act alone.

  Both Lu Fang and Boban drove to pick up the plane, and took Liu Qingshan and his party to the hotel.

  The enthusiastic Professor De Gener, of course, followed like a tail.

  Liu Qingshan just let him go, he could not be beaten or scolded. Although he was used by some people, Professor De Gena was really nice to his friends.

  After checking into the hotel, De Gena was anxious to take the dumb grandfather to see a doctor for his friend.

  Look at Liu Qingshan, it’s almost evening, let’s go tomorrow.

   "Then I'll go and have a look first, and I'll pick you up tomorrow morning." Professor De Gener knew that Liu Qingshan and the others couldn't escape, so he left alone.

  Looking at the back of him leaving in a hurry, Liu Qingshan also shook his head: I really don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing.

   After dinner, Lu Fang and Boban began to report to Liu Qingshan.

  During this period, they also participated in several auctions and bought dozens of cultural relics lost in China.

   But they are all high-end products, and there are no outstanding products that make people's eyes shine.

   This is actually the norm. Good things, of course, are not so common. It would be good if there are one or two in a year or a few years.

  The biggest piece of good news comes from the British Museum. They are very fond of Van Gogh's oil painting, the portrait of Dr. Gachet.

  After several rounds of consultations, the British Museum offered two proposals:

  The first type is to use the three-color Arhat statues collected in the museum to exchange.

  The second option is to use the Yuan blue and white dragon pattern elephant trunk large bottle to trade.

  Liu Qingshan was also stunned when he heard this: "I want both of these!"

   First of all, this large dual-element blue-and-white dragon pattern elephant trunk bottle is more precious than the two large blue-and-white jars in his hand, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a priceless treasure.

   That is to say, Yuan Qinghua has not been heated up yet, and its value has been seriously underestimated. Otherwise, they would not exchange it with you.

  The three-color Arhat statue is even more powerful. When it was first discovered, it was thought to be from the Tang Dynasty. After all, it is three-color.

  Later, the textual research is from the Liao Dynasty. There are a total of 16 statues, which came from a cave in Yi County.

  The statues of Arhats are the same size as real people. Unlike other exaggerated statues of Arhats, these sixteen statues of Arhats are all sculpted in a realistic way.

  So the appearance is lifelike, the expression is vivid, and the sculpture technique is extremely superb, which is not inferior to the sculptures of ancient Greece and Rome.

  These sixteen Arhat statues were stolen and transported abroad in the late Qing Dynasty. During the period, three statues were lost, and the whereabouts of two statues are unknown.

  The remaining eleven statues are mainly collected in major museums around the world, with the most in the United States and only one in the British Museum.

   Perhaps it was because it was not complete that the museum proposed an exchange.

  Liu Qingshan knows that people still don't have a high understanding of the artistic value of these arhat statues, and Chinese cultural relics are generally underestimated now.

  If this is put in decades, let alone one famous painting by Van Gogh, even if it is ten, no one will exchange it with you.

  Such a precious national treasure cultural relic, do you think Liu Qingshan can not feel itchy?

  Bo Ban shook his head: "Boss, we can only choose one of the two, unless we come up with something that satisfies the other party. These bandits are very dark-hearted."

   Black hearts are a must, otherwise, the collections collected from various countries in those big museums would have been claimed long ago.

  Like later, when countries pursued cultural relics, the British Museum shamelessly explained: if cultural relics are placed in your country, if they are not well preserved, and if they are damaged, it will be a loss to all mankind, so it is better for us to help you preserve them.

   Do you want to show some face?

   "No, we have to get these two things no matter what." Liu Qingshan knew that after passing this village, there would be no such shop.

   Boban knew that the boss was always willing to invest in this aspect, so he said: "In the catalog we provided, the museum is also very interested in the painting of Renoir's Moulin Rouge Ball."

   "These guys have poisonous eyes and a cunning mouth, so they are specially selected to attack them!" Liu Qingshan was also amused. This Moulin Rouge will be worth more than 100 million U.S. dollars in the future.

   "Tell them to add something more, or we will lose a lot, these hateful robbers."

  Liu Qingshan began to curse and curse. This kind of thing is really outrageous.

   At this time, Lu Fang suddenly said: "Boss, Boban and I went to the storage room of the British Museum. Guess what, there are a lot of our ancient books, scriptures and cultural relics in there, and they have no place to display them at all."

   "And the preservation is not good. Many ancient books and scriptures are on the verge of being damaged, but the other party is allowed to mold and rot in the storage room. It is really distressing."

  Liu Qingshan knows that most of these things were lost from the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang back then, which is enough to be described as massive.

   "These prodigal bastards!"

  Liu Qingshan also became more and more angry as he listened, but he soon woke up from the cold. Now is not the time to be angry, it is reasonable to think of ways to return some good things.

  After thinking for a while, he then ordered: "Let's produce two oil paintings, exchange each other's Arhat statue and elephant trunk bottle, and add some more ancient books and scriptures."

   "When the time comes, invite Bai Erye, and we will choose by ourselves."

  Lu Fang also nodded heavily: "Boss, don't worry, Boban and I have to **** them out this time!"

  After talking about the business, Liu Qingshan made another phone call to the country, and asked Mr. Lao Maoer to pass on the confession to Second Master Bai, and then went through the relevant formalities for going abroad.

  It is handled in the name of Qingshan Museum, and it is relatively easy to go abroad for exchanges.

   After resting for one night, on the second day, just after breakfast, Professor De Gena hurried over, anxiously urging Liu Qingshan and the others to set off.

  Leave mother, Li Tie, and Vera in the hotel, while Liu Qingshan, dumb grandpa and little six sons go.

  Professor Hawking is currently working in the Perimeter Theoretical Physics Research Department of Cambridge, mainly engaged in research in astrophysics, theoretical physics and mathematics.

  So his home, near the university, is an independent small villa.

   Just last year, Hawking divorced his wife Jane who had been with him for decades. It is difficult for outsiders to evaluate this kind of matter.

  However, when entering the living room, the room is neatly tidied up, and the fireplace is burning very well, so I feel a strong warmth.

  Liu Qingshan finally saw the king of the universe in a wheelchair.

  My first impression is that I am thin, almost skinny.

  The second feeling is softness, rather than sitting on a chair, it is better to say that you are paralyzed there.

   It is obvious that the body and face have been severely distorted.

  In fact, being able to live is no small miracle for this king of the universe.

  When I was sick, the doctor gave me advice: I can only live for two years.

  Hawking was covered with a blanket, and a nurse pushed a wheelchair behind him.

  If Liu Qingshan’s expectations are correct, this nurse named Elaine will become Hawking’s second wife in a few years.

   "Old man, the doctor I invited for you is here." Professor Degener yelled, he is obviously a frequent visitor here, and he is not unusual at all.

  Liu Qingshan also bowed to say hello: "Dr. Stephen, hello, I am Liu Qingshan, and this is my master, Mr. Sun. I hope I can help you through Chinese medicine treatment."

  The person paralyzed in the chair just rolled his eyes, then raised his hand with difficulty, and with the assistance of the nurse, he placed a special mouse in front of the wheelchair.

  He manipulated the mouse, and on the monitor in front of the wheelchair, he selected letters one by one to form words.

  The whole process was extremely slow and lasted about two or three minutes.

  Everyone was waiting quietly, no one showed any impatience, even the lively little six became extraordinarily quiet at this moment.

  Finally, a weird electronic synthesizer sounded: "Hello, welcome guests from the East."

  This is his unique way of communication, he can't speak, he can only express in this way.

  As for academic lectures and the like, I put together vocabulary and sentences bit by bit in advance, and then record the synthesized voice for recorded speeches.

  In order to prepare for a one-hour lecture, it often takes more than ten days to complete.

   "Thank you, Dr. Stephen." Liu Qingshan admired this person from the bottom of his heart.

  Although his body was confined to a wheelchair, his mind was able to roam the boundless universe, becoming the most outstanding astrophysicist in the world after Newton and Einstein, which itself is the most inspirational legend.

  Even the dumb grandfather, who had always been indifferent, couldn't help being moved after seeing the other party: he is really a respectable person.

  It turns out that the human mind and spirit can really be so powerful!
