Chapter 245 The mysterious Mr. Zhang

"Leader Zhang, how do you plan to pack?" Lao Hu asked carefully.

"Is there a cardboard box? Put them all in the cardboard box for me."

"I'm sorry! We don't have cardboard boxes in the store."

"Then find some old newspapers and pick them up." Zhang Junping said casually.

"I'm sorry!" Lao Hu said embarrassedly.

Zhang Junping overlooked an issue. In this era, scrap newspapers are also a good thing.

If you sell it to a scrap collection station, you'll get money.

Take it home and use it to build walls. Don’t think that only rural areas use waste newspapers to build walls. They can also use waste newspapers to build walls in cities.

It's just that this kid Zhang Junping has not been a member of the ordinary working people since time travel, so he cannot understand the hardships of the working people.

"Okay! Just tell me how you can pack it here!"

"Shall I pack it with hemp rope for you?" Lao Hu said as if he had made up his mind.

"Okay!" Zhang Junping waved his hand.

I cursed in my heart: You just pack with hemp rope, and you ask me what to use for packing?

As everyone knows, hemp rope packing is also Zhang Junping’s unique treatment. Others come and don’t get hemp rope packing.

Figure out your own solution.

The trust store doesn't care how it is taken away.

Zhang Junping rode to Caishikou again, but Scarface was not there. He went to the restaurant outside Guang'an Gate and watched the waiters train.

Monkey Three is still in charge here.

"Master Zhang! What are your orders?" Hou San asked respectfully.

"Find a few brothers, get two carts, and follow me to the trust store to pull things." Zhang Junping was not polite and directly ordered.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, please wait a moment! I'll go make arrangements for you right away." Hou San agreed and ran to find someone to arrange the carriage.

Returning to the trust store in Tianqiao with the pallet truck, Zhang Junping began to direct several people to load the pallet truck.

"Leader Zhang, please settle the bill first.

Of course, I believe you are not short of money.

But, this is the rule..." Lao Hu and a middle-aged man wearing glasses stopped Zhang Junping, and Lao Hu said embarrassedly.

"Oh! I'm sorry! I was negligent!" Zhang Junping said, taking out his checkbook, directly filling out a check for fifty thousand US dollars, and then took out a seal from his body and stamped it.

"Here is 50,000 US dollars. Lao Hu, you take it first. We will refund the excess and make up for the remainder later." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"Wait a moment!" Lao Hu handed the check to the middle-aged man with glasses. The middle-aged man with glasses looked at the check with a burning look, and then handed the check to a middle-aged aunt.

The middle-aged aunt took the check and went out.

Zhang Junping knew that he was going to the Bank of China to verify the check.

Currently, only the Bank of China can accept foreign exchange checks in China.

Zhang Junping no longer rushed to arrange the loading of the car, but admired the things on the counter on the second floor.

The place where Zhang Junping was standing was a counter dedicated to watches.

All kinds of watches are available.

Watches produced in Switzerland, Prussian watches, bald eagle watches, notebook watches, and domestic watches.

As you can imagine, there were still many wealthy people in China in the past.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many second-hand watches for sale.

The watches here are not expensive and are among the more popular second-hand goods.

Some young people who have just started working can buy a second-hand watch here after saving a few months' salary.

The most important thing is that the trust store does not require tickets.

However, Zhang Junping did not bother to buy a bunch of antique watches for collection.

Mainly the watches placed on the counter either have no collection value or are broken.

Watches that are truly collectible and in good condition will not be sold on the counter.

"Leader Zhang, do you want to buy a watch?"

"Yeah, I'm thinking of buying some watches for my collection.

Lao Hu, take out all your collection-level watches!" Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"Boss Zhang, are you kidding me? The trust store is just a place where second-hand materials are traded. There is nothing that I shouldn't treasure." Old Hu said with a smile.

However, seeing Zhang Junping's teasing eyes, he laughed again and said: "There are a few watches that have just been collected and haven't had time to be put on them yet."

"Then take them all out! I still trust your vision, Lao Hu." Zhang Junping smiled and complimented Lao Hu.

Lao Hu turned around and arranged for someone to get the watch, while Zhang Junping continued to look at the goods.

The first floor of the trust store is equivalent to a grocery store, selling a mess of daily necessities.

The second floor is the boutique counter.

However, this high-quality product is only relatively speaking. Don’t expect to buy a national treasure-level cultural relic in a trust store.

There are definitely antique calligraphy and paintings from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and even a lot of porcelain from the third and third dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, but they are all popular goods.

What is bulk goods?

Take porcelain as an example.

They are all official kiln porcelain, and only one kiln is fired a year.

A kiln can only produce two to three thousand pieces at most.

This kind of porcelain is a popular product

There is also a kind of porcelain that may be fired in more than ten or twenty kilns a year, but each kiln also fires thousands of pieces of porcelain, but in the end, only two or three pieces, or even one kiln, are selected and retained.

Can't come up with one.

Pick out the remaining porcelain and smash it all.

Every piece of porcelain selected in this way is a national treasure.

Trust stores and cultural relic stores receive some national treasure-level antiques and cultural relics every year, but such things are always sent to the Palace Museum.

Although the country has opened friendship stores and BJ painting shops, antique calligraphy and paintings are exchanged for foreign exchange.

But you won’t be stupid enough to exchange national treasures for foreign currency. They can appear in cultural relic shops, and they are all carefully selected antiques.

Anyone who can pick up something from the third generation of the Qing Dynasty is considered lucky.

Youyi Store does have some high-quality antiques, but they are all small products that have been carefully selected.

That kind of orphan product will never appear on the shelves of Youyi Store.

Of course, nothing is absolute.

"Lao Hu, bring that wooden sculpture over and let me take a look." Zhang Junping pointed to a wooden Buddha statue on the shelf and said.

Lao Hu quickly helped Zhang Junping move the Bodhisattva wood carving to Zhang Junping.

Zhang Junping reached out and grabbed it, what a guy.

No wonder I saw Lao Hu having some difficulty moving it just now.

This is a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva that is one foot tall and is used for worship at home.

The most important thing is that this is not an ordinary wood sculpture, but a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva carved from rosewood.

Zhang Junping held the base of the lotus platform with one hand and the back with the other, picking it up and observing it carefully.

Just now, Zhang Junping discovered that this wood carving was unusual. Now when he took a closer look, he found that it was indeed the work of a famous artist.

The wood carving of the Bodhisattva has both form and spirit, and vividly depicts the compassionate and compassionate temperament of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

When ordinary people see this image of Guanyin Bodhisattva, they will probably bow to the image of Bodhisattva with a little guidance.

If you guard such a statue for a long time, you will sooner or later become a devout Buddhist believer.

"Lao Hu, how dare you accept the appearance of Guanyin Bodhisattva?" Zhang Junping said jokingly to Lao Hu.

"Leader Zhang, this thing was just collected yesterday.

If it had been a few years earlier, we wouldn't have dared to collect such things even if we were beaten to death.

I didn't plan to receive it originally.

No, the owner of the cargo has something to do with me. Something happened to his family and he needed money urgently.

So, my heart softened and I left him.
