Seeing Ye Chen’s firm attitude, Zhou Liang Yun couldn’t help but exhort, “Young Master, you must not go into any head-on conflict with the Rothschild family because of me, a small intolerance will lead to a big mess ……”
Ye Chen nodded, “Uncle Zhou don’t worry, right now the enemy is clear and we are in the dark, wanting to make the Rothschild family look bad and make things difficult for them can be said to be as easy as a slap in the face.”
Saying that, Ye Chen looked at Zhou Liangyun and added: “Uncle Zhou, I still have some questions that I would like you to answer for me.”
Zhou Liangyun hurriedly said, “Young Master, you can speak freely.”
Ye Chen hurriedly asked, “I also want to know, how exactly did my father touch the Preface of the Nine Xuan Scriptures as well as the Nine Xuan Heavenly Scriptures? Also, how did my father get involved with the Broken Clearance Society?”
Zhou Liangyun sighed, “Your father, has a similar experience as you, the process by which he obtained the Preface of the Nine Xuan Scriptures is very similar to the process by which you obtained the Nine Xuan Heavenly Scriptures.”
Ye Chen recalled some of the information that his great uncle had once said, and asked in surprise, “Could it be that my father also obtained the Preface to the Nine Xuan Scriptures from an antique?”
“Right.” Zhou Liangyun nodded heavily.
Ye Chen hurriedly pursued, “What exactly is going on?”
Zhou Liang Yun said, “You obtained the Nine Xuan Heavenly Scriptures because your father commissioned me to bring the Nine Xuan Heavenly Scriptures to you, but your father obtaining the Nine Xuan Scripture Sequence was a complete fluke.”
Saying that, he explained specifically, “Back then, your father, like me, also liked to study Zhouyi and all sorts of Chinese antique artefacts, so he often came to my shop in Queens to find me at that time, and we often worked on some of the antique artefacts together as well;”
“At that time, I hadn’t started to retrieve the lost overseas cultural relics for China, I was just simply doing antique business, but your father had been doing this, so I was later influenced by him, and started to work with him to help those precious Chinese cultural relics to return to China;”
“Because of the common hobby and common ambition, your father and I became very good friends, during that time, our family’s antique shop encountered a lot of trouble one after another, and was also counted by a lot of people, relying on your father’s great help to tide over the difficult times, he is the benefactor of our whole family.”
Speaking of this, Zhou Liang Yun sighed, recalled for a moment, narrated: “more than twenty years ago, one day, our family shop in London, came a downtrodden British aristocrat, he encountered a major change of heart, the family has many antiques and cultural relics in a hurry to realise, a large part of the antiques come from the Chinese, he knows that our family in the Chinese antiques is more professional, then find us! hoping to pack up and sell all of the family’s Chinese antiquities to us;”
“At that time, I specially flew to London to participate in the assessment, that down-and-out nobleman’s home, a total of four hundred and eighty-seven pieces of Chinese cultural relics, of which there are really a lot of good things, alone Yuan and Ming dynasties of blue and white porcelain there are more than a dozen, in addition to the two very valuable pastel colours, and other Ming and Qing dynasty official kiln porcelain is even more countless;”
“In the antique market, blue and white porcelain and pastel colours, is the ceiling in terms of porcelain, the price has always been very high, the official kiln is also synonymous with quality and high price, the price is also very firm;”
“In addition to this, there are several pieces of the Qing court has a clear record of the palace collection, the price is even more expensive;”
“Such a large number of ceiling-level cultural relics, even if it is packaged at a discounted price, the other party’s lowest offer from more than twenty years ago, also reached 200 million US dollars;”
