Hello 1983

  Chapter 845 What should come is still here.

  Liu Qingshan's singing level is really not good, it can only be described as amateur.

  But I can’t stand this Blue and White Porcelain. It has an elegant tune and beautiful lyrics, so it is still very appealing.

  Everyone was fascinated by it, and the girls in the Twelve Band were all a little crazy.

  Especially Wu Tong, the smile on his face is like a flower blooming, his eyes are still shining, and there are tears flashing: This is the song Sanfeng wrote to me!

  The true feelings are revealed, so this picture is so beautiful that Liu Qingshan's heartstrings can't help but tremble.

  He looked at Wu Tong quietly, hoping to engrave this moment in his memory forever.

   Papa papa, applause suddenly sounded.

  I saw a few more people appearing at the door of the living room, the front one was a middle-aged man, not tall, with a modest and sincere smile on his face:

   "Mr. Liu's talent is really admirable. I am Shinji Tanimura. It is a great honor to visit Mr. Liu."

  The corners of Liu Qingshan's mouth are also slightly raised: This Mr. Tanimura is a singer of the national treasure level of the island country.

  The most important thing is that this person is a pacifist, and later had some connections with Huaxia, and has been working as a professor at the Hujiang Conservatory of Music.

  The general situation is similar to that of the conductor Ozawa.

  In fact, in island countries, there are not many such people.

   "Mr. Tanimura, I have also admired your name for a long time. It is a pleasure to meet you."

  Liu Qingshan also came forward to shake hands and hugged affectionately, patting the other person's back lightly with his palm: "I like listening to your star most."

  Tanimura also laughed heartily: "Mr. Liu, I like your pure music the most, the original scenery of your hometown. Every time I hear it, I will think of my hometown in Osaka."

  The two looked at each other and laughed, the atmosphere was very good.

  The song "Star" is Mr. Tanimura's representative work, and it can be called a classic. Both the melody and the artistic conception expressed in the song are excellent.

  Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, there are many covers, the most famous is the Cantonese version of stars sung by Deng Gehou.

   After inviting the guests to sit down, Mr. Tanimura made a special trip to visit Liu Qingshan. He planned to invite Twelve Band to cooperate with him and publish an album.

  The main reason is that he re-scored some old songs from the past, all accompanied by Chinese folk music, which is also a new attempt.

   Liu Qingshan certainly welcomes this kind of thing. After consulting the girls in Lefang, the two sides reached a verbal agreement on the spot.

   As for Liu Qingshan’s freshly released Blue and White Porcelain, Tanimura said that he also likes the melody of this song very much, and is willing to buy the copyright and perform a Japanese cover.

  Liu Qingshan also agreed with a smile, and charged a symbolic copyright fee of one yen.

   This is the obvious way to see people order dishes. When Liu Qingshan is rude, he is more ruthless than anyone else in slaughtering people.

  But for friendly people, he is more generous than anyone else.

  Liu Qingshan and the others hadn't eaten yet, so they simply invited Gu Cun to the restaurant together.

  It was very pleasant for the two to talk in detail. Liu Qingshan rarely found such a friend in the island country, and wanted to chat more.

  Gucun also felt like old friends at first sight, so he was not polite, and chatted while eating, and the topic gradually turned to the current economy of the island country.

  Tani Village has always been committed to music, and has not invested in real estate and other fields, so the impact is not too great.

  However, he is also very emotional, that is, his good friend, Qian Changfu, who created "Northern Spring", is now heavily in debt, even sold the car, and owes a whole lot of debt to the bank.

  Liu Qingshan said: "In the final analysis, it still reflects a lack of self-confidence in a culture. If a nation does not love its own culture and believe in the culture handed down by its ancestors, then this nation will have no future."

   These words also caused Tanimura to think deeply.

   Talked until very late, Gu Cun left, and left Wu Tong's residential address, inviting Liu Qingshan and the others to visit when they had time.

  He can be regarded as Liu Qingshan's second friend from the island country, and the first is the conductor Ozawa.

  In the next two days, Liu Qingshan and his party traveled around major banks.

  A lot of antiques were collected, but not much money was spent. The total amount was less than 10 million US dollars.

  Compared with the 350 million US dollars prepared by Liu Qingshan, Liu Qingshan didn't spend even a fraction of it, which makes Liu Qingshan somewhat regretful.

  In contrast, it is even more regrettable that those banks are all staring at the huge sum of money.

   So some banks began to sell various mortgaged luxury goods like Liu Qingshan, such as famous watches and luxury cars.

  These things, there are also a lot of stocks in the bank, which were bought by the people when the economic situation was good a few years ago.

  In those few years, nearly half of the luxury goods in the world were swept away by islanders.

  However, Liu Qingshan is also not interested in these luxuries. First, he doesn’t like them himself. Second, things that others have used always feel awkward.

  If it is brought to China, those nouveau riche who got rich first will definitely like it, but Liu Qingshan doesn't bother to do this kind of business.

   As a result, the bank became more and more anxious, and strongly recommended those oil paintings to Liu Qingshan.

   Famous paintings worth tens of millions of dollars, only need a few pieces, can empty out Liu Qingshan's funds.

  But these famous paintings are Liu Qingshan's last choice, he will not start at this time, but euphemistically expressed: I prefer Huaxia's paintings and calligraphy.

   There are indeed many treasures of ancient Chinese calligraphy and paintings that have been circulated in the island country, all of which are national treasures. They are generally collected in major museums and regarded as the treasures of town halls.

  Even if Liu Qingshan wants to buy it, he won't sell it.

   Among them, there is the "Red and White Hibiscus Picture" collected in the Tokyo National Museum, which is recognized by the world as the highest artistic achievement in the flower-and-bird paintings of the Southern Song Dynasty.

   There is also "Xiaoxiang Lying Tour", which is the first masterpiece of landscape painting in the Southern Song Dynasty.

  Liu Qingshan is also greedy for these things, because it is only in modern times that these things have been exiled to the island country, which is a pity.

   Unlike some calligraphy works in ancient times, they were spread to the island country early and then treasured by others.

  For example, Wang Xizhi's "Sangluan Tie", although it was copied by Tang people, is the closest to the original work, and it has been handed down here since ancient times.

  What Liu Qingshan likes, but can't get it; what he doesn't like, the bank is still in a hurry to make a move. In short, the current situation is that the two sides are not at the same point.

  Unknowingly, a week passed by in a hurry. Except for the team from Twelve Band, Liu Qingshan and the rest had ten days for their visas, and they were already preparing to pack their things.

  A total of more than 600 pieces of cultural relics were purchased, each of which had to be carefully packaged. If one was damaged, it would be very distressing.

  Although the price received is not high, if it is brought back to China and stored for a few years, the price will increase by tens or hundreds of times, although Liu Qingshan does not plan to sell it.

  On that night, Liu Qingshan and his party returned to the hotel. Just as they got out of the car, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared.

  Both brothers Lu Fang had been on guard for a long time, and they shot the man together.

  The man said something in a low voice, and Wu Tong quickly translated it to Liu Qingshan: "He said that he has a famous painting from ancient China."

  Liu Qingshan looked at that person, his appearance was very ordinary, but his demeanor was calm, especially his eyes, whose light was restrained, seemed rather unusual.

  So motioning for Lu Fang to let go of the whole person, Liu Qingshan asked again: "What painting?"

  The man's eyes looked around slightly, and his voice was lowered: "It's two hibiscus flowers, one is red and the other is white."

  Red and white hibiscus picture!

  Liu Qingshan's pupils shrank sharply, and he couldn't help being both surprised and happy.

  But soon, he regained his composure, because he knew that this painting was collected in the Tokyo National Museum, which is called the treasure of the museum. How could it be in the hands of this person? Could there be some conspiracy?

  The first thing Liu Qingshan thought of was the kind of fishing law enforcement commonly used in later generations.

  First use this painting to lure, and after the deal is completed, the police will appear, and someone will come and get the stolen goods. In the end, Liu Qingshan loses all his painting money.

   There is another possibility: the guy in front of me, by some means, stole the painting from the museum and ran to him to sell the stolen goods.

   Whatever the reason, the stakes are high.

  However, such a famous national treasure painting really has an irresistible allure to Liu Qingshan.

  His brain was running fast, considering the feasibility of this matter, and finally the temptation of the national treasure prevailed.

  So Liu Qingshan said: "The others go back to the hotel first, Tong Tong, Uncle Lu and Lu Fang will follow."

  Of course Li Tieniu and Lao Maoer Master Shu will not do it, they are Liu Qingshan's left and right protectors, so don't worry about Liu Qingshan acting alone.

   "You two are too eye-catching."

  Uncle Lu patted Lao Mao'er on the shoulder and explained the reason.

   There is no way, the rest of the people can only go back to the hotel, Wu Tong exchanged a few words with that person, and then everyone left together.

   More than ten minutes later, a group of people appeared in an underground parking lot not far from the hotel.

  The man didn't even give his name, opened the door of a van, and gestured for him to come in.

  Liu Qingshan gave Lu Fang a look, told him to be in charge of guarding outside, and then got into the car with Wu Tong and Uncle Lu.

  Uncle Lu is fine, he didn’t panic or fear, after all, people in this business will always encounter some shady deals.

   On the contrary, Wu Tong was obviously a little nervous. Although she tried her best to keep calm, her slightly trembling body still expressed her mental state at the moment.

  Wu Tong suddenly felt his left hand being pulled, and then Liu Qingshan's voice came:

   "It's okay, I'm here."

  Wu Tong instantly felt at ease, as if he had the greatest support in the world.

   After getting in the car, no one spoke, the man dug out a suitcase, the most common kind of suitcase for clothes.

   After stabbing and unzipping the zipper, the man raised his hand as a signal.

  Uncle Lu has already put on his gloves, turned on the strong flashlight, and shone it.

   This painting is not too big, and it is less than a foot square.

  The first thing that catches the eye are two light red hibiscus. Although it has been through thousands of years, the petals are still delicate and beautiful, as if they have just been picked.

  Uncle Lu suppressed his excitement and checked the material first. It was silk and coloring. He quickly judged the age, and it must be true, it is very old.

  Then check the inscription and bell seal on the painting. Although Uncle Lu has never seen the original painting, he is no stranger to it because it is so famous and has been mentioned many times by his peers.

   This picture of red and white hibiscus was originally collected in the Old Summer Palace, but it was lost when the Eight-Power Allied Forces ransacked the Old Summer Palace, and then it was collected in the Tokyo Municipal Museum.

  If it is an authentic work, it will definitely belong to the original owner, and the national treasure will return to the hometown.

  Uncle Lu took two or three minutes to complete the appraisal. In fact, the first time he saw the painting, he was sure that it was authentic.

   It is based on the intuition of the appraiser.

  But for the sake of caution, Uncle Lu still appraised it according to the process, and then looked at the picture of the white hibiscus below.

  The size of the two pictures is the same, and the second picture has also been identified. Uncle Lu turned to Liu Qingshan, nodded heavily, and turned off the strong flashlight.

   "You can make an offer."

   Liu Qingshan said to the man, although his heart was also surging with turbulent waves, but the surface was still as calm as water.

   "Ten million U.S. dollars." The man simply said, "I'll give you a UBS account, and you can just transfer the money into it."

  Liu Qingshan didn't write with him: "I can only pay two million."

   "And I have to wait until I leave the island country before sending money to your account."

  The man's eyes flashed brightly: "Impossible."

   "This is for the sake of our mutual safety." Liu Qingshan still said calmly:

   "I don't know the situation on your side, but you know all my information, so you should understand that I will not deceive you on this matter."

  The man bowed his head in deep thought, obviously he was also fighting with heaven and man in his mind.

  He can also understand the other party's concerns. There is indeed a huge risk in this matter.

  This person is also a decisive person, and he nodded quickly: "It seems that I can only choose to believe in you now. I hope you will not let me down, otherwise I will find you in the ends of the world."

   "But this price is not acceptable, it cannot be less than eight million dollars."

  Liu Qingshan returned a price: "One million."

  After several rounds, the price was set at three million dollars, but the man made another request: "Whether you can take this painting back or not, you must pay this amount."

  Liu Qingshan thought for a while and replied: "If it doesn't work, I can only give you one-tenth of it. This is already the limit."

   "Okay, it's a deal." The man stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to shake hands with Liu Qingshan.

  Liu Qingshan waved his hand: "Drive, take us to a place."

  The van drove out of the parking lot, Wu Tong gave an address, and when they got there, Liu Qingshan and his party got out of the car, and the van quickly disappeared into the night.

  In Lu Fang's hand, there was an extra ordinary suitcase.

   It's just that careful people can notice that Lu Fang's arm has been trembling slightly.

  He also studied appraisal with Uncle Lu, so of course he knows the preciousness of these two paintings.

   "We can't visit friends empty-handed." Liu Qingshan looked relaxed, took the suitcase from Lu Fang, and then ordered: "Go and buy some fruit."

  Liu Qingshan was going to visit Tanimura Shinji, so he was looking for a suitable excuse to leave the hotel.

   Gu Cun was very happy about the visit of Liu Qingshan and his party.

  Early the next morning, Liu Qingshan and his group were having breakfast when they saw a group of officers in police uniforms rushing into the dining room.

  The group of people looked at Liu Qingshan for a while, and then their eyes fell on Liu Qingshan.

   What should come is still here.
