Later, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, this post was seen by the famous collector of the Republic, Zhang Boju.
Zhang Boju first paid a deposit of sixty thousand silver dollars, and then paid another one hundred and forty thousand silver dollars before he managed to buy the post.
If this amount of money were converted into today's value, it would be approximately 4.6 billion.
Later, the Japanese were also very covetous of the Shangyangtai Post, so they detained and imprisoned Zhang Boju for several months, but Zhang Boju never disclosed the whereabouts of the post to the Japanese.
This ensured that this only authentic work of Li Bai remained in the country and was eventually exhibited in the Forbidden City for anyone to appreciate.
Yet now, this Japanese person actually told him that there is another authentic work of Li Bai in Japan?!
"Where did you get this authentic work of Li Bai?" Chen Yiyang inquired.
