Chapter: 6053

“Because the antique industry, like the stock market, is most afraid of concentrated selling and smashing the market. I can buy ten Yuan blue and white porcelain from all over the world in one go. The more I buy, the higher the price of blue and white porcelain on the market, but I You must not sell ten Yuan blue and white flowers at once, otherwise other collectors of Yuan blue and white flowers may panic and then sell off, smashing the price of Yuan blue and white flowers to the ground.”

“So, it was unrealistic for us to sell things to raise funds at that time. Otherwise, the profit from this order might have been lost invisibly due to our own selling behavior. In addition, the mortgage loan period was also relatively long. , so I almost couldn’t place the order at that time;”

“At that time, I knew that your father was also very interested in antiques, so I wanted to get him into a partnership. Firstly, it could solve the problem of funds on hand for me, and secondly, we could make some money together, because I had estimated at that time that the antiques would If we bring it in and then bring it back to Hong Kong Island and auction it to domestic collectors one after another, there will be absolutely no problem in clearing it out and recovering US$350 million in two years.”

“So, I propose that your father and I each contribute half of the capital, and then we share the profits in half. But what your father means is that he can contribute 100 million U.S. dollars, but he hopes that I can divide the antiques into two parts. I will handle half of it myself, and the other half, he wants to donate back to China through the Chinese Embassy in the United States;”

“I really admired his decision at the time, so after we jointly acquired this batch of antiques, I secretly transported them to New York, and then asked him to come and select them personally;”

“My idea at that time was that no matter what your father chose and how much it was worth, as long as he chose it, he would take it and hand it over to the embassy. Even if our Zhou family ends up losing money, I would accept this deal.”

Speaking of this, Zhou Liangyun said with emotion: “The majority of the antiques at that time were porcelains. Together with your father, I began to check and count the porcelains one by one. The verification was very simple, just open the individual packaging of each piece of porcelain. Check the list and find the specific details on the list. After checking, take it out and check it. If there is no problem, put it back and continue to check the next one; ”

“When your father took out a Yue kiln celadon ewer from the packaging box, the ewer fell directly to the ground and cracked. Like your father-in-law, your father also clearly felt the vibration of the ewer at that time. Then the two of us Everyone saw that after the pot was cracked, there was an ancient book the size of a palm inside;”

“At that time, we thought that the book recorded some important unknown history. The two of us sat on the ground together, and I watched your father open the book with my own eyes. But then, the book turned into something out of thin air. The ashes disappeared…”

When Ye Chen heard this, he couldn’t help but sigh: “It seems that the hidden logic and triggering logic of “Nine Mysterious Scriptures” and “Nine Mysterious Heavenly Scriptures” are the same.”

“Yes.” Zhou Liangyun nodded and said: “At the time, I just thought it was a little strange, but your father told me that the contents of the book had completely entered his mind. Naturally, I didn’t believe it at the time. I thought your father was I was joking, but I didn’t expect that he actually used the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the store to write out the contents of the book word for word, and he couldn’t stop writing;”

“I noticed something was wrong and quickly informed your mother to come to the store, so the two of us accompanied your father. He kept writing, and your mother and I followed the pages he wrote and sorted and bound them. It took two days and two At night, I sorted out all the ‘Preface to the Nine Mysteries Sutra’.”

Ye Chen quickly asked: “Uncle Zhou, have you also read the “Preface to the Nine Mysteries Sutra”? What is recorded in it?”

Zhou Liangyun said: “The content recorded in the “Nine Mysteries Sutra” is all-encompassing, but its real core is actually a map that needs to be deciphered bit by bit from the text. At that time, your parents were very interested in researching and deciphering the “Nine Mysteries Sutra”. I was very interested in “The Preface to the Scriptures”. Thanks to your father’s blessing, I also briefly studied it. However, I was born and raised in the United States and my Chinese foundation is not very good. I found that the content was indeed obscure and difficult to understand, and I quickly lost it. Research interest;”

“Later, your parents left the United States and returned to China. It is said that they spent a lot of effort to find the places mentioned in the “Nine Mysterious Scriptures” and finally went through a lot of hardships. The “Nine Mysterious Scriptures” are the places your father came from. Brought out of that place.”

Ye Chen hurriedly asked: “Is that place called the Secret of Immortality?”

“I don’t know…”

Zhou Liangyun said: “Your father didn’t tell me in detail. He just told me that I’d better not know too much about these things. I believe it must be because he didn’t want to say more. I was thinking about it, so I didn’t ask in detail.”

Ye Chen asked him: “Uncle Zhou, do you still have the content of “Preface to the Nine Mysteries Sutra”?”

Zhou Liangyun hesitated for a moment and said seriously: “Master, your father once gave me a set of photocopies of his handwritten version of the “Nine Mysteries Sutra Preface”. Although I did not study it in detail, I have kept that set of photocopies.”
