Section 1332 Qianlong's Queen's Wrench(2/2)

Dingsheng's future vision - "Strive to adapt to the world trend, always adhere to the pursuit of innovation and change, fully promote innovation and creation, and actively participate in sunrise industries. In the all-round development of 'focusing on one industry and operating in other industries', we will make 'France

The Dassault Group has entered the 21st century with confidence. To have such ambitions and ambitions - the French economic development engine in the 21st century is still the French Dassault Group!"

In order to commend Laurent Dassault for his 25 years of extraordinary performance and commend Laurent Dassault for his outstanding contribution to the country's military development, on September 30, 2003, the French government awarded Laurent Dassault the "French Chevalier of the Order of Honor"

". At the award ceremony, Laurent Dassault delivered a passionate impromptu speech - "In France, when we contribute to the country, the country will thank you and award you with a national medal. What I received was only a junior honor.

Medals, we have to continue working hard to get the highest medal. I hope to one day get France’s highest level medal of honor, the Grand Cross.”

Li Cong still admires the glory of Dassault Group. At least three generations of his family have worked hard for their dreams, but for him, these are just a springboard for his future. Now Li Cong is on the special plane flying to Paris.

The news that the Energy Group is acquiring the Dassault Group is already flying all over the sky. Li Cong does not need to be directly concerned about the handover in India. What he needs to be directly concerned about now is that the newly established air force base is still empty. The United States and other ten

Several countries are questioning the origin of the energy group's aircraft. If they find out that they made it themselves, they will probably be sued. By then, their enemies will be the whole world. This is definitely something Li never wanted to do.

of.

"Karelina, let me have a general understanding of how many fighter jets we need now, how many we have in total now, and our global production capacity." Karelina has been busy with this work.

It was morning. Instead of asking why he was tired, Li Cong just wanted to know the result. Such a boss was really an unscrupulous boss.

"My boss, I am a human being, not a computer person. I cannot tell you immediately what you think of. It took me a long time to figure it out. We now need 470 fighter jets and seven early warning aircraft.

, 130 training aircraft and 25 bombers, we now have a total of 1,085 aircraft of various types that can see the light, which means that these aircraft have legal purchase procedures, but we still have more than ten times more aircraft than these.

It cannot see the light of day. To be honest, we are already the largest air force in the world. They are just scattered around the world. It will take some time to quickly form combat effectiveness. Under normal production, we can produce 900 aircraft of various types every month.

Planes, if there is a war, it will definitely increase by two to three times." Karelina wiped the sweat from her head, she was really tired.

Oh my God, Li Cong was also directly frightened by this number. When did he already have the world's first air force? Of course, this is only in terms of quantity, and no one can say anything about their own before the war begins.

The army is invincible. The Soviets boasted that they were so powerful back then, but at the beginning of the war, the Germans were beaten so hard that they couldn't find the north. We couldn't do such a thing.

Although there are tens of thousands of planes, as Karelina said just now, there are many that cannot see the light. The satellites on the heads of Americans and Russians are not vegetarian. If others find out, they will definitely

They will unite, and then they will be the ones who suffer.

It seems that now we really have to acquire an important aircraft manufacturing company. This acquisition cannot be bought by you if you have money. You also have to look at the target. For example, Dassault is very suitable. It's not big.

It's not small. If it's famous, it's only in Europe, but its output is no worse than Boeing. When the time comes, I can change the appearance and say it's a new aircraft developed by myself. If I buy something like Boeing

As for the behemoth, not to mention the money issue, even the US government is not something Li Cong can handle.

At the Paris International Airport in France, the European branch started from Richard Liang. Almost all officials, big and small, came here. This was not the time to pursue a low profile, so Li Cong wanted to put on a show and let these French

Guys, look at how powerful they are. Don’t say no to yourself casually. Just look at the cars in front of the aircraft tarmac. There are several cars here that are limited to dozens of cars around the world. I have to say energy.

The strength of the group is definitely strong.

"Uncle, on behalf of the European branch, I welcome you to Paris." The two of us still have to act, but this kid is a little different from before. How can I put it, he looks more mature.

"Haha, yes, you did a great job. Thank you everyone for your hard work. Let's go have a meal together tonight. I'll invite you. It's private." Li Cong smiled and said to some people in the European branch. In fact, this

The guy was also very happy. He hadn't seen his nephew for a long time. Although this guy helped his eldest daughter manage it for a while at the headquarters, he was running around at that time, so he didn't see him.

Boy, it’s quite friendly to see you now.

Naturally, the two of them had to get into the first car. Dozens of black limousines roared out of the airport. The mayor of Paris and some government officials just met Li Cong and arranged some grand welcome ceremonies.

Nothing was used, which made everyone feel a little unhappy. Although the status gap between us and you is a bit big, there is no need to look down on us so much.

"Uncle, what just happened seems to be a bit out of your style. Those people from the Paris City Hall didn't offend you, right? Why are you so disrespectful to others?" Richard Liang could see it, it seemed that his uncle was very

Don't like those people.

"Haha, what kind of dignity do they have? In fact, to put it bluntly, they have objections to an antique auction tonight. As you know, the Qianlong ring is being auctioned tonight. Although I don't understand this kind of thing very well, it's okay.

We know that this is our own thing. I have already told them that I am interested in it. These people actually told me that I cannot interfere in a commercial activity. As a result, I have to go to the auction myself. Speaking of which, there have been many auctions in Paris.

I'm talking about this problem, but I don't give them any face and they think I'm easy to bully." Li Cong became a little childish at this time. Li Cong had seen that set of wrenches before. It seemed to be in the hands of a collector.

Although I like it, I can't take it by force. I really don't know how this thing ended up at the auction.

In fact, the ring finger has been around for a long time, but it was only known to everyone in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. The earliest ring finger of the Manchu people was made of deer bones. It was worn on the right thumb when drawing a bow and shooting arrows to prevent the fingers from being scratched by fast arrows.

After the war, rings made of precious materials such as jade, gold and silver gradually appeared to symbolize power and status, and also reflected the martial spirit of the Manchu aristocrats. In the later period, they were purely for decoration and a thing to show off their wealth.

From Dorgon's entry into the Pass to Emperor Shunzhi's initial foothold in the Central Plains, and then to the three dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, the thumb rings used by the emperors had strict conventions and regulations. The Qing Palace Manufacturing Office first asked professional institutions such as jade and tooth making to follow the emperor's decree.

The emperor's wishes and preferences were used to make practical patterns, which could then be made after modification and confirmation by the emperor himself. In order to create a suitable wrench, Emperor Qianlong could pass orders and the actual wrench back and forth seven times in a row while he was out for summer vacation, asking the craftsmen to modify it.

On the imperial wrenches, there are often engravings with a strong humanistic atmosphere such as imperial poems, poetic paintings and palace-specific decorations. This type of wrench was the work of the most skilled craftsmen at that time, and was also a favorite of the court culture and the emperor's temperament at that time.

, a concentrated expression of cultural ideals and aesthetic tastes. However, the number of thumbnails of this type is very limited.

The second is the ring ring given by the emperor. For many high-ranking officials from various places, the rings paid as tribute by the subordinate countries or the palace custom-made in the south of the Yangtze River, the emperor often does not wear them himself, but rewards them to senior officials, favorite ministers, and royal family members. For example, Emperor Qianlong will give such rings

The ring finger reward was given to the generals who returned to the court victoriously in the battles of pacifying the Hui tribe and Xiaojinchuan.

In addition to the thumb rings used by the emperor and those given by the emperor, the "Tanhua" thumb rings are those made by princes, county kings, Baylor, Beizi and other royal families for themselves. They are often engraved with the family's personal seal. Princes reward domestic slaves.

, subordinates or gifts to relatives and friends, also belong to this category. In the Qing Dynasty, the hierarchy was extremely strict, and even princes could not exceed the system, so they rarely wrote poems and carvings on them, and their craftsmanship and materials did not dare to be tampered with.

The emperor's preferences are naturally of slightly lower value. Next, there are the generals, the generals of Fuyuan and their subordinate generals, the thumbs for celebrating birthdays, the dowry rings, the commemorative or divination fingers,

Commercial finger wrenches.

Emperor Qianlong was a very well-educated monarch. He was good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as martial arts, riding horses and archery.

This can be proved by paintings such as "Qianlong's Grand Reading" and "Powerful Shooting of Deer" collected by the Palace Museum. However, for display and appreciation, the materials are made of precious materials, especially jade.

Emperor Qianlong showed great interest and enthusiasm in the thumb ring, which turned the thumb ring, a daily-use item that was originally practical, into an elegant hall with high artistic taste. Qianlong's

Sophistication is everywhere.

The ring ring that Li Cong is eyeing should be Emperor Qianlong's royal ring ring. The material is also made of fine Hetian jade, and it has a small seal stamped by Emperor Qianlong himself. It can be said to be very precious. If

Li Cong wouldn't notice ordinary things, but he couldn't get such a thing that he liked, and he still had to go to auction with those people??

"Uncle, I also know a little about this jade ring. It is said that it was obtained by Emperor Qianlong around the Qingming Dynasty in the mid-spring of the seventeenth year of Qianlong's reign (1752 AD). It is said that it is a piece of work with extremely warm texture and exquisite workmanship. Qianlong

The emperor liked it very much, so he wrote the poem "Swimming with Jade" for it. In the poem, Emperor Qianlong compared the practical ivory or bone wrench with the jade wrench, and believed that the elephant bone wrench was "the elephant bone passed down from ancient times."

, and the jade ring is "just like Qiongju" and "the virtue is worthy of the teacher". He spoke highly of the enlightenment and warning this jade ring has on people's thoughts. This is the first poem about the ring finger written by Emperor Qianlong, and later

It was included in Volume 32 of his "Imperial Poems 2". Perhaps this ring made a deep impression on Qianlong. A few months later, the ring appeared again in Emperor Qianlong's poems.

, this time, Qianlong went one step further in developing the meaning of the jade ring finger. "In the end, you can't just be virtuous. It's useless to wear it without admiration. The inside and outside of the ring are bright and translucent, and they are integrated with all the meanings." Xiaoxiao

The ring finger carries such a profound truth, how can it not make people look at it with admiration? This became the basis for Emperor Qianlong's understanding and evaluation of other ring fingers in the future. From then on, the ring ring entered the broad vision of Emperor Qianlong, and until the second year of Jiaqing

During the forty-five years (AD 1797), Emperor Qianlong wrote no less than fifty poems about many jade thumb rings, showing his continuous and long-term attention to such small objects." Richard Liang also studied this thing.

For a long time, the two of them have a problem, that is, they have to receive such good things in their own hands.

"I said you have done a thorough research on this thing. Tell me honestly, do you have any ideas about this thing? I told you that I will take this thing with me when I go back, but I can't buy it on the plane.

You have to bring this thing with you to the factory." At this moment, Li Cong looked a bit like a fool, he was willing to put down all his important things for a small thing.

"Haha, everyone wants good things, but what my uncle is interested in is my nephew." Richard Liang just said that jokingly. In fact, he liked calligraphy and painting more. At this moment, he was thinking about whether he should

If you robbed it from your uncle, can you give it to yourself as if your uncle's words of Song Huizong were there?

Sotheby's Hong Kong is preparing to auction this set of boxed Qianlong imperial jade thumb rings, a total of seven pieces. The production and packaging are very sophisticated, showing the basic style and characteristics of the imperial utensils used in the Qianlong period.

Among the seven jade wrenches, there are two white jade wrenches, two jasper wrenches, one Han jade wrench, one sapphire wrench, and one red leather sapphire wrench. All wrenches have the same size and style. Among them, jasper, Han jade,

The four sapphire ring fingers are all engraved with imperial poems by Emperor Qianlong. The method is the same as the "Han jade ring ring with imperial poems and fringe edges" mentioned in the previous archives. They are all commonly used fret edges or swastika edges.

"I think you're bleeding a lot, uncle. I heard that each of these seven ring triggers is of high quality. Normally one of them costs tens of millions of dollars, but now the seven of them together cost at least hundreds of millions of dollars."

Paying money is nothing to Li Cong, but when Li Cong goes there in the evening, he will definitely pay a sky-high price. The auctioneers also know that wherever Li Cong goes, their commissions are very high.
