In this cross talk, the two brothers Guo Degang and Yu Qian really worked hard. They tried their best, talked and sang funny, and flew out one by one, winning the applause of the whole house.

Now Hebei Bangzi, now Beijing-style drums, now pop songs, it's really delicious.

Guo: Have you seen the movie "Young and Dangerous"? Have you?

Yu; I saw it, what happened?

Guo: That’s it, we are from the same place. Hongxing Society, the Hong Kong underworld, knows it, right? I belong to Hongxing, but we are not the headquarters, we are the branch, from Niulanshan...

At;???

…

Guo: The old man is still in good health, with a glowing face. He is in great health for an 89-year-old man! It’s just that all the teeth in his mouth have fallen out, and there is still one tooth left. When he doesn’t eat, his teeth are stuffed.

.

Yu: There is only one tooth left and it is stuffed. How on earth did it get stuffed?

Guo: He ate lotus roots and got blinded.

…

Continuous laughter, endless applause, endless cheers,

"well……"

"Ms. Wu, please give me a bouquet, thank you!"

"The big boss, Mr. Liu, is offering two flower baskets, thank you!"

…

The stage of the Tianqiao Music Festival was fully decorated with flowers and flower baskets, reflecting the bright faces of brothers Guo Degang and Yu Qian, who were performing in high spirits.

According to the rules of Tianqiao Music, whether it is Beijing-style drums or cross talk jokes, good guests will be rewarded with bouquets or flower baskets. This is also a way to praise the actors and actresses.

A bouquet costs 100 yuan, and a flower basket costs 1,000 yuan.

Everyone sitting in the box was happy and sent bouquets and flower baskets one after another to show their support and praise for the two performers on the stage. Most of the flower baskets and bouquets on the stage were sent by them.

relatively speaking

A bodyguard's annual salary is more than 100,000 US dollars, but for senior executives such as the director and deputy director of the Secretariat, the annual salary can easily be tens of millions of dollars. More income depends on large option dividends and year-end target rewards.

It is an absolutely high-income gold-collar group, and some mere rewards are not a problem.

When the cross talk performance was about to end, the waiter quickly handed over a red envelope and whispered something;

"The big boss above has left a message, please don't make it public."

Guo Degang took the red envelope and opened it. He couldn't help being shocked. It turned out to be a cash draft of US$100,000 from HSBC Bank. This was a very big deal.

His hands holding the thin cash draft were shaking a little.

Even Yu Qian, who had always been well-informed, was shocked by this generous gesture, and his expression suddenly changed.

The two of them cupped their fists and saluted in unison; "Thank you to the man upstairs for your kindness. Please leave slowly after the performance is over. We brothers must say thank you in person, thank you for your kindness."

In the box upstairs

Wang Yaocheng smiled and waved his hand, picked up the tea and tasted it, looking leisurely and contented.

a moment later

"If we brothers guessed correctly, you must be His Excellency Lord Wang Yaocheng, who is known as the 'King of Wealth' in Hong Kong. We have the honor to perform a cross talk for you today. It is really a blessing for us brothers. Thank you again for your generous gift. I

I salute you on behalf of Deyun Society."

"Haha, Guo Degang, Yu Qian, you two cross talk artists don't be polite, sit down and chat for ten dollars."

"It's done, it doesn't matter how long you chat."

"Hahaha...please sit down."

The tall and tall Wang Yaocheng extended his hand to invite him to take a seat. Guo Degang nodded quickly and said, "Okay, sit down and say yes. You are so tall, so powerful, and so dazzling. We have to raise our heads when talking."

, as time went by, a shadow fell on my heart.”

"hehe……"

The two parties sat down and chatted casually.

…

A few minutes later, Yu Qian interjected;

"Brother Yao, in fact, when we two brothers came here just now, Mr. Ma Weidu, a regular customer who often comes to Tianqiao Music, wanted to meet you. He is a famous collector in the four-nine cities. He asked us to say a word,

I know this is a bit presumptuous..."

"Oh, Mr. Ma Weidu has heard of it, please come up and chat with us."

"Okay! Thank you for the face."

very quickly

Ma Weidu, who was dressed in a long gown, walked into the box, raised his hands and cupped his fists to salute, and said, "I'm sorry for bothering you, don't blame me, don't blame me."

"It's natural to see the sky, what's the use of blaming you? I've already come up." Guo Degang teased Menzi casually.

"Gangzi, don't be so careless. In front of the real Buddha, we still have to be more respectful."

Ma Weidu is also an interesting person, and he is quite quick-tongued. Being the keynote speaker of CCTV's "Hundred Schools Forum" certainly requires some real skills.

Wang Yaocheng smiled and said, "Okay, today we have all the three religions and nine streams here. We drink tea, eat melon seeds and chat, but there is nothing true about Buddhism. They are all men of about the same age, and they can talk about whatever they think of."

"

"That's right, you have to listen to Brother Yao."

The few people chatted nonsense and quickly narrowed the distance.

Ma Weidu remembered something and said, "Speaking of which, I have a certain status in the country as a collector. At least, everyone in the collecting community knows my name when it comes to it, but I regret it for the rest of my life.

It’s something that still bothers me.”

"What's going on?"

Ma Weidu sighed deeply, his expression seemed to be lost in memories;

"It was a bowl, a rouge red landscape bowl with enamel and yellow ground dating from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It was sold at Sotheby's in 1997 for HK$21.41 million. I was there at the time, and I can say I was heartbroken!

I remember back when the reform and opening up was just beginning, I went to Shanghai on a business trip and stopped by a cultural relic store.

I fell in love with this bowl at first sight in the Youyi Store, and it was priced at RMB 30,000.

The outer wall of this bowl is covered with enamel-colored yellow glaze. The glaze color is delicate and even yellow, which is full of luxury. The interior of the bowl is painted with carmine red landscapes and terraces, and the area near the foot is decorated with enamel painted fretwork.

The painting is skillful and the artistic conception is transcendent.

The whole shape of the vessel is elegant and rich, with bright glaze color, smooth and translucent glaze, and delicate texture. The blue material "Made in the Qianlong Year" is stamped on the inside of the foot. There is also a red-edged label from the Friendship Store at the bottom, with pencil writing on it.

"55-1964" several numbers.

then

Using foreign exchange coupons, one dollar is worth two yuan, and the 30,000 yuan in foreign exchange coupons is almost 60,000 yuan. Unfortunately, I can't afford so much money.

But this bowl was imprinted in my mind. Every time I went to Shanghai for a business trip, I had to visit it. In 1987, I walked into the Friendship Store again and my heart sank suddenly. The bowl I had been thinking about was gone.

Was bought by someone.

At Sotheby's Hong Kong spring auction in 1988, this bowl was sold for HK$7.2 million."

Ma Weidu shook his head and said, the look of regret on his face could not be concealed, and he couldn't help but click his tongue...

It seems like you can hear the sound of heartbreak.

Wang Yaocheng has no research on antiques, nor can he say that he has a sincere love for them. Looking at the scene, he guessed that it should be;

There was once a sincere love in front of me, but I didn't cherish it.

The most painful thing in life is this. If God gives me another chance, I will say to that girl: I love you. If I have to add a time limit, I hope it will be 10,000 years...

"Brother Yao, you are a top figure in the business world, and your charity work is unparalleled in China. What is a huge difficulty for us is not a problem for you. I would like to ask you to do more good things for the cultural sector.

Son, let more of these precious treasures of our ancestors stay in China, and don’t let foreigners take them all away, it’s too heartbreaking.”

"Well……"

Ma Weidu's sudden request really put Wang Yaocheng in a dilemma; "I have no research on these old objects. To be honest, I can't spare the energy to pay attention to them. How can I help?"

"You just need to provide the funds, and we will help you with the rest. I have a lot of old buddies in the Palace Museum and the collection industry. You can just take a look at it in your free time. Gold from troubled times, antiques from prosperous times, and old objects today

The price is too high, and we can’t get a few even after all our efforts.”

"Oh, that's no problem."

Wang Yaocheng breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it can be solved with money, it is no big deal. If you can earn tens of billions of dollars from selling a Yahoo company, how many antiques can you buy with it?

Let’s not talk big, we can clean up the market.

"There is a big event in the European and American collecting circles right now. The heirs of the family of Scottish collector William Blair are preparing to sell Lake Vine Castle Manor in Glasgow, Scotland. Along with the sale are thousands of precious collections, including the above
