I Can Extract Abilities From Antiques

4 hours of flight.

The plane finally landed at Hong Kong International Airport.

Hu Muzhi and others got off the plane.

Wang Chengfeng and Lin Wentai walked left and right on both sides of Hu Muzhi, heading towards the exit.

As soon as they arrived at the exit, Hu Muzhi was just two young people holding a big sign.

It reads: Welcome members of the Beijing Calligraphers Association to Hong Kong.

And that character is still written with a brush, which can be regarded as strong and powerful.

Don't ask, people from the Xiangjiang Calligraphers Association came to pick you up.

Soon, the people from the Xiangjiang Calligraphers Association recognized Wang Chengfeng, trotted over, nodded towards Wang Chengfeng and Lin Wentai who were walking at the front of the line, and said, "Old Wang, Mrs Lin, welcome to come. Xiangjiang."

The speaker was a tall man in a Tang suit, about forty years old, with a pair of eyes, looking very bookish.

"It's Xiao Xu, I haven't seen him for a few years." Wang Chengfeng said while stroking his white beard.

"Yes, Mr. Wang." The middle-aged man said modestly: "The last time we met was five years ago, when my father took me to the capital.

Wang Chengfeng nodded slightly and introduced to Hu Muzhi: "Muzhi, let me introduce to you, Xu Mao, the eldest son of Xu Anhua, president of the Xiangjiang Calligraphers Association.

Hearing Wang Chengfeng introducing himself to a young man, Xu Mao couldn't help but glance at Hu Muzhi.

At this age, I take it for granted that Hu Muzhi is the grandson of Wang Chengfeng 553.

He smiled and said, "Old Wang, this is your eldest grandson, right? A talented person. 39

As soon as these words came out, Lin Wentai, who always respected Hu Muzhi, was unhappy and took the lead in saying: "Xiao Xu, if you can't speak, don't say it."

"If President Wang can have such a grandson, then shouldn't he burn high incense?

"This Hu Muzhi has no blood relationship with President Wang.

"Yes, Xiao Xu." Wang Chengfeng said, "If I had a grandson like Muzhi, I would really burn a high incense as Wentai said."

When Xu Mao heard the words, he was stunned for a moment, and then he expressed his apology to Hu Muzhi: "I'm sorry, little brother Hu, I made a mistake, please forgive me."5

"It's okay. Hu Muzhi didn't care about it and waved his hand.

"Then Mr. Wang, Mr. Lin, and this little brother Hu, let's go, the car is already waiting outside." Xu Mao said and made a gesture of invitation.

Outside the airport, several cars were parked.

All-in-one Mercedes-Benz Benz 420SEL.

In this day and age, this car can be regarded as a symbol of wealth.

Originally, Xu Mao's arrangement was for Lin Wentai and Wang Chengfeng to sit in the back row of the first car, and Zi (bjci) himself and the driver sat in the front row.

However, the two old people have to take a car with Hu Muzhi.

In the end, three people 'crowded' in the back of the first car.

This made Xu Mao more and more curious as to what was the origin of Hu Muzhi, which deserved the attention of the two old people.

In fact, not only Xu Mao was curious, but even the members of the Beijing Calligraphers Association were a little confused.

Finally, the car stopped at the entrance of the Mandarin Hotel in Central.

Xu Mao is almost a one-stop service, and arranges accommodation, travel, food and drink properly.

After taking everyone to a meal, he led them to their respective rooms.

Ten rooms, one for each person, is a big deal.

At the same time, it also reflects that the people of the Calligraphers Association are really not bad for money.

When he came to his room, Hu Muzhi put down his luggage, picked up the key card, and left the room.

Because he's going somewhere, Hollywood Road.

There are three antique streets in Xiangjiang, namely Hollywood Road, Moruo Shang Street and Le Gu Road.

One could say one next to the other.

Among them, the Hollywood Antique Street is the most famous, and is even called a street that must be visited in a lifetime by Westerners.

Because it is the original birthplace of the Xiangjiang art market and a must-see for antique lovers.

It is located in Central to Sheung Wan.

This street is curved and long, about one kilometer long, which is 200 meters longer than the capital Liulichang.

There are more than 300 antique shops on both sides of the street.

Of course, Hollywood Road was not intended to be the birthplace of great collectors from the very beginning.

It first appeared in 1844, when it was the first street since the opening of Hong Kong as a port.

At that time, all the people living around were people from the Dragon Kingdom.

In order to satisfy the curiosity of Westerners, local people began to sell jade and antiques at home.

More than a century later, Hollywood Road began to emerge.

Coupled with the long-term war and erratic situation in the mainland at that time, a large number of capitalists and antique merchants began to go south to Hong Kong.

For example, Qiu Yanzhi, a famous antique dealer (this person has collected four Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cups, one of which sold for 280 million is his old collection)

In 1949, he ended his business in Modu and continued to operate ancient ceramics in Xiangjiang.

Although the great collector Guo Fuchang died in 1942, a large number of his collections were also brought to Xiangjiang by his son Guo Zhaojun at this time, including Erxi in Qianlong's "Sanxi Hall" - "Mid-Autumn Festival" and "Bo Yuan Post"

In the 1970s, the Hong Kong stock market broke out, which made the economy take off, and a large number of free and rich collectors were born.

In addition, 76 years later, the trading of cultural relics and artworks in the Mainland was released.

A large number of cultural relics poured into Hollywood Road through private trade or smuggling channels.

Xiangjiang has become the trading and distribution center of the cultural relics of the Dragon Kingdom.

As the collection and appreciation of cultural relics and artworks has gradually become a fashion in Hong Kong, cultural celebrities, entrepreneurs, doctors and artists have joined in one after another, and two major collection groups in Hong Kong have emerged.

That is, "Min Qiu Jing She" and "Knowledge Elegant Collection".

The collectors collected by these two groups can be said to have become the backbone of the Xiangjiang antique market.

However, this prosperity continued to 95 years later, the scenery is gone.

Because of the rise of art auctions and regulation of the cultural relic market in the mainland, the outflow of cultural relics and smuggling have been greatly reduced.

Antique shop owners have no source of goods, and the focus of Xiangjiang cultural relics and art transactions will gradually shift to the secondary market.

But this time, Hollywood Road is still pompous.

It can be said that there are countless dragon country antiques from Hollywood Road to all over the world.

Many of them have become the collections of museums around the world.

Hu Muzhi in his previous life came to Hollywood Road. Although some buildings here are different from those in 2022, they are not bad.

According to the memory in his mind, Hu Muzhi came to Hollywood Road.

Rao was already mentally prepared and knew that it would be very lively here, but Hu Muzhi was still shocked when he saw the crowd of people in front of him.

The whole thing is like a fair.

The antique shops on both sides of the street have countless customers coming in and out.

At the entrance of the antique shop, you can also see many people pulling a cart with all kinds of 'antiques' waiting to be sold.

.

You know, it's almost six o'clock.

According to the custom of Liulichang cultural relics stores, they have all closed.

"Hollywood Road, here I come."

Hu Muzhi secretly murmured, then raised his legs and stepped into Hollywood Road.
