While a select few had the privilege of viewing the collection in person, the majority of visitors had only seen photos. Some were curious about the other collections on display, while others felt that seeing the Atlantis Goddess Statue alone was sufficient.
“I don’t think the museum’s exterior looks very impressive,” A trendy young man with earrings commented as he eyed the museum building’s façade.
“It’s not about the exterior. The real value lies in what’s inside. Our purpose is to witness Su Jing’s opulence and the value of his collection,” Replied a bespectacled young man who appeared refined and sophisticated, dressed in expensive clothing and sporting a Rolex watch.
“He may be wealthy, but he is nothing compared to Young Master Huo. Why even bother making comparisons?” The fashionable young man retorted.
The bespectacled young man responded, “While Su Jing may not compare to Young Master Huo, he is not to be underestimated. Some netizens have dubbed him one of the Four Young Masters, and it’s not entirely unfounded to rank him alongside Young Master Huo. You may not be aware, but ever since Su Jing was given this title, Young Master Huo has taken notice of him. A country bumpkin is being put on the same rank as Young Master Huo – it was enough to irritate him. Moreover, Young Master Huo is also interested in Su Jing’s girlfriend, a stunning beauty. He offered her a luxury car and a villa worth tens of millions, but she didn’t even bat an eye. She knew about his identity and was unimpressed.”
“Damn it, Young Master Huo has always hit the target with every shot. In his most glorious time, there was a beautiful woman with him every day, and there were countless beauties waiting in line for him. He never missed. That Shi Qing is too ignorant.” The fashionable young man spoke.
“Perhaps Shi Qing’s beauty has left a lasting impression on Young Master Huo, making him even more displeased with Su Jing. Upon hearing the news of the underwater shipwreck potentially linked to Atlantis, Young Master Huo funded a salvage team to retrieve artifacts and outdo Su Jing, but unfortunately, nothing was found. Nevertheless, it appears that Young Master Huo is serious this time. Let’s first see how magnificent Su Jing’s museum is before Young Master Huo opens an even grander one to show off to Shi Qing.”
Finally, at 8 o’clock, the Museum of Wonders opened its gates as scheduled.
Shen Hong and Old Song personally greeted the visitors when the museum opened, and they extended a special welcome to Old Xie, Boss Wu, and the rest of the group who knew Su Jing personally.
Visitors eagerly entered the museum and were struck by the various collections displayed in the first corridor. Many were astonished and stared in amazement.
“My God, These are Tang Sancai! Why are there so many?” Ye Bo peered through a glass and breathed heavily.
“And there must be hundreds on this side too,” Zhou Xixian exclaimed, equally excited. They knew how precious Tang Sancai was and this was the first time they had seen so many intact pieces together.
“Tang Sancai, is it amazing?” A foreigner asked.
Alan firmly rebuked his companion, “Please don’t speak about things you don’t understand. Tang Sancai is a treasure of the ancient Chinese ceramic firing process, which features vibrant colors such as yellow, green, and white, as well as black and others. It is called Tang Sancai because of these three colors. Its importance to Chinese culture cannot be overstated, as it has left an indelible and colorful mark on the history of Chinese ceramics. The pottery was even exported as early as the Tang Dynasty and was cherished by people abroad.”
He continued, “Tang Sancai’s reputation extends beyond the borders of China, as it is admired throughout the world for its beautiful, colorful glaze, its bright, lustrous finish, and its delicate and refined shapes. It is undoubtedly one of the shining pearls of ancient Chinese pottery. Although it is not as popular as Yuan, Ming, and Qing Porcelain, Tang Sancai has a significant collection value in modern times, and many pieces have fetched high prices at auction.”
Alan’s impressive knowledge of Chinese porcelain was evident in his explanation.
Anna was shocked at the sight of so many Tang Sancai pieces and asked, “Why are there so many?”
Alan shared in her amazement, his expression conveying his desire to bring these treasures back to his own country. “I am wondering the same thing,” he replied.
The fashionable young man, wearing earrings, was intrigued by the excitement of Ye Bo, Zhou Xixian, and the foreigners. However, he could not understand their conversation since they were speaking in English. He asked, “Are these porcelains very precious?”
“Of course they are precious,” Ye Bo replied. “Some of them are considered the best among Tang Sancai pieces. One piece could be worth millions, or even over 100 million.” Ye Bo’s expression turned a little strange, as he realized that he had underestimated Su Jing.
Having just met him, Ye Bo now found him even more arrogant than he had imagined.
“One piece is tens of millions, or even over 100 million?” The young people standing nearby gasped in disbelief upon hearing Ye Bo’s statement about the value of the Tang Sancai pieces. They were clearly impressed by the value and significance of the ancient porcelain pieces.
Shen Hong and Old Song observed the reactions of the crowd with satisfaction. They were delighted to see that others were now experiencing the same sense of awe and amazement that they had felt when they first encountered the museum’s collection.
Meanwhile, Boss Wu was fully engrossed in examining the museum’s artwork. As he walked a short distance away, he noticed calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall. After gazing at it for a few moments, his eyes suddenly widened in surprise. “This is actually a calligraphy and painting from the Tang Dynasty,” he exclaimed in disbelief.
“Are these calligraphies and paintings from the Tang Dynasty?” Ye Bo and Zhou Xixian asked as they walked over quickly.
Shen Hong nodded and replied, “Yes, all the calligraphy and paintings on this wall are from the Tang Dynasty.”
“What? How is this possible?” Boss Wu was taken aback and exclaimed.
