Japanese people like to drink tea.
They call this process of making tea and drinking tea the "Tea Ceremony".
In fact, their practice was copied from China's Tang Dynasty.
The same goes for drinking broken tea powder, which was what people in the Tang Dynasty drank at that time.
It was only later that with the gradual development and the emergence of tea-making methods that were more convenient and better reflected the tea culture, this method was gradually eliminated by China.
However, the Japanese benzene is still retained, and under normal circumstances they are not willing to change it.
Today Abe Yuzen was drinking ground tea made by the maid at home.
As a hidden super-rich man in Japan, Abe Yuzen's family has more than a dozen maids. The families of these women have been serving the Abe family as early as 100 years ago.
They all come from nearby villages.
The salary given by the Abe family is high and the work is not tiring, so both men and women hope to work here.
And this long-term relationship also makes them very close to each other, just like the ancient "son born in the family" and "daughter born in the family", very loyal.
Abe Yuzen has very few things to do now. Apart from attending various exchange meetings, he also attends various auctions.
Selling some not-so-good works and buying some better collections has been the strategy pursued by the Abe family for decades.
In fact, Shen Huan was in a hurry that day, and most of his attention was focused on the two most exquisite large safes, while ignoring many things.
For example, there are two tall cabinets against the east wall. The drawers above are densely packed, each one is very small, and only one oil painting is stacked in each.
Most of the oil paintings there are treasures collected by the Abe family during the polar bear collapse last century.
The executor at that time was Yuzen Abe, who bought hundreds of oil paintings from the Rakshasa Kingdom at low prices.
Now that the Rakshasa Kingdom's economy has improved, many rich oligarchs also want to recycle their country's treasures, so these oil paintings have suddenly become valuable, with the average price being more than 10 million US dollars per piece.
Every year, the Abe family sells two or three paintings through middlemen, earning US$350 million to invest in other cultural relics.
Just such a hidden treasure, they can use it for 100 years.
It can be seen that the Abe family really has a very rich heritage.
This is something Abe Yuzen himself feels very proud of.
But even though Abe Yuzen bought so many masterpieces by Rakshasa painters, he looked down on Rakshasa from the bottom of his heart and felt that they were all vulgar people.
Therefore, these oil paintings are not placed in the oversized safe.
However, the maintenance of these oil paintings is still very orderly and regular.
On average, for two days a week, several middle-aged children of the Abe family would enter the treasure house and conduct inspections and routine maintenance on various treasures according to the planned plan.
Once damage that they cannot repair is discovered, the top restoration experts will be called in immediately to deal with it.
The entire process was formulated 100 years ago. After continuous supplementation and improvement, the Abe family's method can be said to be one of the best in the world.
Many collector families in Japan are imitating and learning their methods.
While drinking tea, Yuzen Abe was thinking about the painting "The Road to Shu is Difficult" that he saw in China a few days ago.
That’s really good!
If it appeared at the auction, I would definitely buy it at any cost!
Whether it’s US$100 million or US$200 million, it doesn’t matter!
Because Su Xian is a super idol loved by everyone in Japan, the value of his works is completely immeasurable!
At present, the Abe family does not have a piece of Su Xian's work, and Abe Yuzen is very sorry.
It would be an honor to buy it and keep it in the hands of the Abe family.
Just as he was regretting here, suddenly Abe Yuzen heard shouting.
"It's not good, Father!!"
He looked up and saw that the three children who had gone to the treasure house to organize and maintain the treasure today rushed out in a panic.
They had only been in for ten minutes, how could they come out so quickly
Seeing the anxious and panicked expressions of his children, Yuzen Abe's heart suddenly sank, "What's wrong? Is the precious work damaged?"
"No, it's not!"
The youngest son Abe Shinji rushed in front of him, gasping for air, but kept saying: "The safe... the safe... was destroyed!! The treasure inside was severely damaged!!"
Abe Yuzen immediately felt a stream of blood rushing to his forehead, and his whole head was about to explode.
"No… "
He murmured such a word and fell down immediately.
"dad… "
In confusion, Abe Yuzen heard the frightened shouts of his children.
…
The news that Yuzen Abe was hospitalized in a coma due to cerebral hemorrhage quickly spread throughout Japan.
Ordinary people only know that the very famous collector Yuzen Abe is ill and hospitalized.
But among the collectors, they knew why Abe Yuzen was hospitalized.
Because several direct descendants of the Abe family have informed them and asked them to help pay attention to whether anyone has sold valuable antiques recently.
They didn't say what the specifics were, but based on the tragic situation of Abe Yuzen, everyone knew that the loss must be considerable.
With the Abe family's strong protective capabilities and the security measures of the treasure house, it is really chilling that thieves could sneak in and plunder so many treasures.
For a time, many collectors were also upset, and the security company's business was much better.
When Odawara Akira heard the news, he was eating out, but he didn't even eat when he saw this, and rushed home with his bodyguards.
He went down to the treasure house in the basement and checked all the treasures. He was relieved when he found that none of them were missing, including the newly purchased "The Road to Shu" was still there.
Sitting on the ground of the treasure house, Akira Odawara suddenly laughed.
Hehe, does the Abe family's misfortune herald the beginning of their decline
They have been sitting on the throne of Japan's No. 1 collecting family for seventy or eighty years.
Now it’s our Odawara family’s turn, right
While they are declining, I am constantly improving. In this way, within ten years, we will definitely surpass the Abe family!
At that time, I don’t think any of them would dare to say that we people from Kanto are nouveau riche!
Do you really think that Kansai is the only place with a long history
Watch it!
The day to overtake you is coming soon! !
