According to Dong Minquan's tone, the Lan family has a very background in Hong Kong and Taiwan. The Lan family can know what Dong Minquan can know. Moreover, Lan Qi once said that this blue and white celestial ball dragon bottle was fake, but they are now bidding for a high price... What is even more strange is that Aoyama Toshishu and their purpose does not seem to be as simple as raising the transaction price. The Lan family knew that this was a fake blue and white piece, and the Qingshan family, as the initiator, certainly would not be unaware that the price of a fake blue and white piece could reach a high of 6.6oo million. Their gouging had already achieved great success, but they were still continuing to increase the price. The new price was 7oo million.

Tang Feng thought for a long time but couldn't come up with the answer. He was sure now that the competition between the Lan family and the Qingshan family was definitely not for this blue and white celestial ball dragon bottle. After Qingshan Toshishu offered 7 ooo million, Lan Qi did not follow up. In the end, the transaction price of this blue and white celestial ball dragon bottle was set at 7 ooo million.

After this bid for Gao Feichao, the subsequent auction became much more dull. Liu Yue asked Tang Feng: "When you arrive in Hong Kong, don't you want to go shopping in the antique market here?"

"How can I miss this?" Tang Feng said: "Hong Kong is a good place to pick up antiques."

For a long time in the 20th century, Hong Kong has always been the only channel for mainland China to connect with the world. In the early and mid-stage period of the last century, a large number of domestic cultural relics, antiques and artworks flowed from the mainland to Hong Kong through legal or illegal means, and then from Hong Kong to all parts of the world. Among them, many of the fine products were deposited in the Hong Kong antique market or collectors, which is also one of the reasons why collectors like Hong Kong Duodong Minquan.

From the end of the last century to the early 2000s, with the rapid development of the mainland economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, people's demand for antiques and artworks has shown unprecedented enthusiasm. The antiques and artworks from all over the world have been continuously flowing from Hong Kong to mainland China through Hong Kong. However, compared with the antiques that flowed out of the past, the antiques inflows are much inferior. It is difficult to collect the water. Even if they are taken back, it is impossible to return them to Zhao. The real solution is to remain intact. Without experience to follow, our country has taken many wrong paths and detours in the past. Fortunately, she has been moving in a good direction now, but this loss is a bit heavy.

Hong Kong is prosperous and stable, and occupies a high position in world finance and world economy and trade. Affected by this, Hong Kong's antique market is not only large in number, but also widely distributed. The antique art shops here are lined up and have strong funds; there are many types of antique art and relatively few fakes, which is incomparable to the antique market in any city in China. Of course, this has a lot to do with the unhealthy exhibition of the domestic antique market itself. For Tang Feng, who is interested in showing some collections, he will definitely not miss the antique market here when he arrives in Hong Kong.

"That's good." Liu Yue smiled slightly and said, "In the past two days since I came, my mother needs to walk around. I still have time to accompany you, but I'm afraid there will be no time in the future."

Tang Feng sometimes feels that his relationship with Liu Yue is more established. Based on the common language of antiques, in this sense, their relationship is more gender-based. However, it is inevitable that men and women will fall in love over time. This is an uncertain factor between them and the reason why they are facing difficulties.

Soon, the evening auction ended, and Tang Feng and Liu Yue sat on Dong Minquan's Rolls-Royce. When talking about Hong Kong rich people, they must talk about the mansions in the Mid-mountain. Banshan is a noble residential area in Hong Kong, located between the top of Taiping Mountain and the Central Ring Road. Home is a symbol of status and status. Many Hong Kong celebrities who are familiar with us live here. Of course, there are also many wealthy businessmen in China.

Dong Minquan's Rolls-Royce front co-pilot was sitting. His bodyguard leader Li Zhan, a BMW in front, and a BMW in the back, was sitting in both cars with the bodyguards he happily hired.

"Brother Zhan, there is a black Mercedes-Benz that has been following us. The number is very strange. I am behind it now." Hearing the sound from the walkie-talkie, Tang Feng secretly smacked his tongue. It turned out that Dong Minquan's car was behind his convoy. It was really troublesome to have money. It would be so complicated to go out once.

Dong Minquan often stays in the mainland, and his lifestyles on both sides are different. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm not named Taiping Mountain because this mountain is peaceful, I just hope it is peaceful. There is no way. Hong Kong is different from the mainland. You have to be careful when entering and leaving."

Having a car does not mean being followed. It may also be a coincidence that the bodyguard cannot check the vehicles suspected of being followed by their own side. Li Zhan said to the driver: "Slow down the car and let the car behind pass first."

The car slowed down, but the Mercedes-Benz tracking behind had not passed the convoy. After a while, a radio sounded, and the Mercedes-Benz also started to reduce.

This matter is a bit strange. Li Zhan asked the driver to speed up the car, but the Mercedes-Benz also started to add it. It is certain that the tracking was done, but Li Zhan was not nervous. He said: "It's a newbie." The real criminal gang would not track his target so stupidly, and Li Zhan was relieved.

The Mercedes-Benz seemed to know that it had been discovered. The owner accelerated the car to pass Dong Minquan's Rolls-Royce. When the two cars were in squatting, Tang Feng saw the flash light on the Mercedes-Benz. Dong Minquan frowned and said, "What are the problems with these paparazzi today? So many celebrities don't take pictures, come and take pictures of me, an old man."

Tang Feng and Liu Yue looked at each other. The paparazzi are also one of the Hong Kong specialties. After being discovered, they began to blatantly. It seems that there are stars in the collection industry, and Dong Minquan is one of them. He said to the bodyguard leader: "Check which newspaper is from, say hello to their boss, and don't joke like this in the future."

Li Zhan nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Quan." Hong Kong is just a small place, with the underworld and the white society crowding here, and the relationship is easy to clarify.

Dong Minquan's convoy drove into a mansion halfway up the mountain. Three people got off the car. Dong Minquan pointed to the mansion and said, "Two children, this is my home. Xiaoyue, do you still remember when you came last time?"

Liu Yue said: "Of course I remember that I was still young at that time and was not interested in antiques."

Dong Minquan said: "The antique appraisal industry has long been inconsistent with the past. This experience is a long-term accumulation process. It is not easy to achieve talent. Young people are not very interested in this. My grandchildren are like this. So when I saw that you two young people are so proficient in antiques, I am very happy. Welcome, please come in."

Dong Minquan's wife has passed away, and the old man in his sixties and seventies has not remarried. It is still early and his children are not at home. Tang Feng and Liu Yue, led by their master, took a lot of luxury in this mansion. There is no need to say much about the degree of luxury. After a while, the three of them came to the basement, which was a large wine cellar filled with oak barrels marked with vintages, and red wine produced from different countries. In addition, there are many bottled foreign wine and red wine.

Antique collection is just one aspect of collection. Westerners are keen on collecting wine. Dong Minquan said: "Children also like to collect, but only when collecting wine. I prefer to collect antiques, right here."

Tang Feng and Liu Yue followed Dong Minquan to the end of the wine cellar. Dong Minquan pressed a button on the wall, and a wine cabinet moved away silently, revealing a metal door. Dong Minquan said in Cantonese to a device with light flashing lights beside the metal door: "Open the door."

The light flashed, and with the sound of "beep", the metal door opened. Tang Feng understood that this was a voice-controlled door, and no one could open it without Dong Minquan. The collection room behind the metal door was brightly lit, and the shelf of the collection was placed in the shape of "chuan". The glass cabinet on the left wall was hung with various calligraphy and painting works, and the glass cabinet below was placed with jade. In the middle is a row of antique mahogany tea tables, with bronzes, strange stones and miscellaneous antiques on it. The glass cabinet on the right is full of ceramics. Dong Minquan owns a lot of collections, and adds up.

There are about thousands of pieces; they cover a wide range of areas, and all antiques are available. These cabinets are not locked, so visitors can play with them at will. It is worth mentioning that there are words written on the floor of the collection room, which says the era. Tang Feng just stepped on the People's Republic of China and walked to ****. The area of ​​the Republic of China was not long. Soon, the three of them walked to the Qing Dynasty. When they reached Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, Dong Minquan pointed to the furniture in the middle and said: "These are all Qing Dynasty furniture, and the porcelain on the right is from the Third Qing Dynasty."

Tang Feng thought it was quite fun. Dong Minquan used space to express time. He wrote all the history of China on the ground, and antiques were placed according to time. There was such a collection room where antiques could be placed in different categories, unlike himself. Those valuable things are still lying in the safe. Tang Feng picked up a few pieces of porcelain from the Third Dynasties and looked at them in his hand. Although they did not meet the best standards, they were all true.

Dong Minquan said: "The reform and opening up of the mainland is a watershed in collections. Both generations of us have regrets. To be honest, the most expensive ones in my collection are not necessarily the best. The things purchased in the 1970s and 1980s are the best and cheapest. At that time, many mainland antiques flowed to Hong Kong, which are all good things. Unfortunately, a large part of them were brought overseas and could not come back forever."

Tang Feng didn't think much about the loss of antiques in China. This was really heavy. The impact of smashing and looting during the Cultural Revolution on antiques was immeasurable, but the impact of the Cultural Revolution on high-end antiques was actually not great, because the people who collected it knew what was valuable and what was not valuable, and they would try every means to hide them. The national difficult period had little impact on antiques, because it was an era of extremely scarce material, and antiques could not be bought even if they exchanged for money. The era that really had an impact on antiques collected by the people was the early stage of reform and opening up, and the economic conditions improved and the material supply was gradually enriched. In exchange for money, a large number of antiques flowed from the mainland to Hong Kong. The regrets of the two generations that Dong Minquan mentioned were indeed regrets. Tang Feng and Liu Yue were proficient in antiques because of their special family background, but it was difficult to buy the best. Dong Minquan was rich at the time, but people at that time didn't understand antiques very much, so many good things slipped away from his eyes and hands.
