In 2010, Zhang Guoli came to Cao Dewang's house as a guest after filming, a mansion of more than 6,000 square meters, 16 servants, and the most surprising thing for Zhang Guoli was that there were two Pixiu at the door! Zhang Guoli joked: At least a few million, right? Cao Dewang said "modestly": This is an antique, and it is priceless.
Zhang Guoli, a well-known actor, has portrayed countless classic roles in his career and won countless applause. However, on this day, instead of sweating in the spotlight and not immersing himself in the world of the script, he chose to visit a business tycoon - Cao Dewang. It was an extraordinary meeting, with a sprawling mansion as the backdrop.
The sun shines on the mansion, and every brick and tile looks particularly dazzling. Zhang Guoli stepped into this courtyard, which covers an area of more than 6,000 square meters, and he couldn't help but be in awe of the European-style architecture in front of him.
The tall main entrance is lined with stately stone pillars, and the gilded decoration on the portico shines, and the whole estate seems to tell a story of ancient and luxurious history.
As soon as he walked through the door, Zhang Guoli's eyes were attracted by a pair of lifelike antique Pixiu stone carvings. The details of these stone carvings are so exquisitely depicted that everyone who watches them seems to feel their majestic posture rushing on the prairie in the past.
Zhang Guoli couldn't help but make a joke: "I'm afraid the value of this stone carving is in millions, right?" Cao Dewang smiled slightly and responded: "Real art, how can money measure it?"
Walking through the spacious front yard, the two came inside. The interior of the three-storey mansion is lavishly decorated, with a large crystal chandelier in the central hall reflecting the brilliance of the space.
On one side of the hall is a large private library with a wide range of rare books and classics. Further inside, there is a spacious indoor swimming pool and fitness center, with murals by famous artists and ethereal calligraphy.
In every corner of this mansion, you can find famous paintings, porcelain and other fine arts. Eventually, they made it to the top cellar, where hundreds of the world's finest wines were stored.
In this mecca of more than 300 square meters, Cao Dewang proudly displays some of these extraordinary collections. "This collection was given to me by a friend from a foreign country," he explains.
He knew that I had a soft spot for red wine, so he gave me a big bag of soybeans, which is a specialty of his hometown, and I will never forget this friendship. ”
They were also joined by Li Hui, a well-known financial journalist. The three of them tasted wine in the cellar and talked about their careers and life insights. Zhang Guoli shared his bits and pieces in the film and television industry, and Li Hui raised many profound questions about the economic situation and enterprise development.
Cao Dewang shared his thoughts on success and work-life balance.
During the conversation, Cao Dewang suggested going to a nearby noodle restaurant to dine together. This surprised Zhang Guoli and Li Hui, after all, it was very different from what they saw and heard in the mansion.
They came to a simple little restaurant, where the environment was simple but warm. Cao Dewang explained with a smile: "The noodles here are delicious and the prices are very affordable, and I often come here to enjoy simple pleasures. ”
In this small noodle restaurant, the three of them sit around a table and continue their previous conversation. Cao Dewang talked about his understanding of life, saying: "I pursue the essence of life, not the flashy appearance. Zhang Guoli and Li Hui were deeply moved by these words.
This meeting allowed Zhang Guoli and Li Hui to see another side of Cao Dewang's life, and also gave them a deeper understanding of his life wisdom and philosophy.
Whether it is in the luxury of a mansion or the simplicity of a small restaurant, Cao Dewang faces the world with a peaceful heart, and this spirit makes them admire.
