The next morning, Gaobeidian Old Furniture Street.
"Yunfeng Yunfeng! Look! This is so beautiful!" Xiaoxuan fell in love with a screen full of carved figures.
The middle-aged boss stood aside and said with a smile, "Beautiful girls have good eyesight. This is a genuine screen from the mid-Qing Dynasty. It was dismantled from the old house of a third-rank official. If you like it, I can give it to you."
A great price.”
"How much?" Xiaoxuan asked curiously.
The middle-aged boss made a gesture and said "8888".
"Yunfeng, how about we buy it?" Xiaoxuan asked my opinion.
I shook my head, "Don't buy it, it's too expensive. Besides, what do you want this thing for? You can't carry it with you every day."
The boss was unhappy and said, "Isn't this expensive? It's so cheap! Brother, how much can I get it for?"
"I think 400 yuan is about the same," I said.
“400??”
"I see you're not here to buy anything! You're here to cause trouble, right?"
At this time, the boss who had been looking at the furniture said, "Boss, don't be angry. We are actually here to find someone, the boss here."
"I'm the boss here!"
Shaking his head, "We are looking for your boss's boss, Mr. Qin. Just tell him that we were introduced by Mr. Zhao Zhendong and Mr. Zhao."
Upon hearing these three words Zhao Zhendong, the boss's face changed drastically.
He immediately respectfully invited us into the back room and ordered us to serve tea.
We sat in the inner room for more than half an hour, when a slightly fat middle-aged man came in. He looked to be in his fifties, and we stood up to greet him.
"You're welcome, please take a seat."
After sitting down, the middle-aged man said with a smile, "It's your business. Mr. Zhao greeted me last night."
He smiled and said, "Excuse me, sir, this is just a small fee for tea, it is not respectful."
I immediately took out three thick envelopes and handed them over. There was a total of 80,000 yuan in cash inside.
He looked at the envelope and said, "Mr. Zhao has come to be the middleman. I definitely want to help you, but the relevant departments have tightened supervision in recent years. I'm afraid it's not easy to get this certificate. I can only say
Try your best, you can take back the tea fee."
Before he could say anything, Douyazai immediately received the envelope.
Gaobeidian was the largest distribution center for old furniture and doors and windows in the country.
I certainly don’t dare reveal his real name. I can only say that the actual controllers of the Beijing Dazhong Temple Furniture Collection Association, Xizhihe Mahogany Furniture World and New Era Mahogany Furniture Market were all established later.
people.
The leader said, "It is definitely difficult for ordinary people to handle, but Mr. Qin, you are not an ordinary person."
"You guys have praised me." The man named Qin nodded and asked a few of us, "Do you have any criminal records? The kind that can be traced."
Looking at each other, I shook my head and said, "No, we are all clean."
He nodded, asked for our ID cards to register, and said the results would be available in about three days. If successful, we would need to submit a one-inch blue background photo.
The boss needs to apply for a certificate. The full name of this certificate is "Collaborative Construction Engineering, Archaeological Exploration and Excavation Qualification Certificate."
This thing is valid for three years, and can also be simply understood as an "admission ticket."
Everyone sitting here must have never seen this kind of certificate. It is just a piece of brown paper with the batch number and the outsourcing excavation company on it, the deadline and the person's name in the middle, and the red seal of the local Cultural Relics Bureau at the bottom.
With this thing, we are equivalent to an excavation company hired by the local cultural relics bureau. For example, if a large tomb is discovered at a construction site and the archaeological team is short of manpower, we are qualified to coordinate the excavation.
This license has been banned and abandoned since 2008. What can be issued now is called a "license for the legal sale and purchase of ancient cultural relics". Each province only has about five to seven places.
After staying here for three days, the man named Qin asked us to submit additional photos on the fourth day, which meant that it was done.
After waiting for another two days, we got this piece of paper.
There are several of our names on it, and in the column of the excavation team leader it is written "Xiang Yunfeng."
This piece of paper is actually not very useful. It is like an auxiliary document that has not been officially compiled yet, but some people don't understand it. Maybe it can save our lives at a critical moment one day in the future.
The boss's trip to Gaobeidian to visit his uncle was a lie, but it was true that he came to get this certificate.
Because at that time, my boss heard that many related teams in the Northern School had applied for such a certificate, so we also applied for it.
After leaving Gaobeidian, we drove north again and arrived in Beijing at the end of February.
Early the next morning, I put on my hat, mask, and sunglasses and went straight to the car storage shed of Panjiayuan Flea Market. I first looked at the goods on our tricycle and made sure they were all fine before going to the market.
Walking into the crowded greenhouse area, I stopped in front of stall No. 16 in the third row of the fourth area.
"Boss, feel free to take a look. All our things are guaranteed to be genuine, and we will compensate you ten thousand for any fake ones." The speaker was a young girl, who was sitting on a horse with her child in her arms.
"This little beauty is nice. What year is it? How much does it cost?" I asked.
She held the child in her arms and said with a smile, "Boss, you are an expert at first sight. I don't know what era these are from. They were all collected in the countryside. Anyway, they must be old. If you want it, boss, give me some money."
Well, can I give you 4,500?"
After listening to this, I secretly agreed. I bought this thing for 15 yuan, so it’s okay.
"Haha, sister-in-law, it's me."
I smiled and took off my hat and sunglasses.
"cousin!"
She just reacted and quickly offered her seat to me.
"No, no, no, just hold the baby and sit down. Where is Xiaoliang? Why don't you see him?"
I don’t know what happened, but my sister-in-law suddenly bit her lip and cried, and the more she cried, the more fierce she became!
"Why are you crying? What's wrong!"
She kept crying with red eyes.
"Please speak!" .??.
She then sobbed and said, "Cousin, I don't know what to say! Just at the end of last month, Ryoko met a man, and when he came back he said he wanted to make a fortune by robbing tombs with him."
"No matter how much I try to persuade him, he won't listen. Cousin, you know that is illegal. If you are caught, you will go to jail!"
"My little bastard, your wings are stiff."
I stared and asked, "Where are they?"
"At home, I locked him up at home!"
My sister-in-law sobbed and said, "He quarrels with me every day now, and I just go out to the stall alone. If this continues, my life will be really difficult."
"Give me the key to your home and I'll go see him."
This was really beyond my expectation. I helped my cousin because I wanted to support him and let him gradually get involved in Panjiayuan, so that he could be my direct sales channel for cultural relics in the future.
I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it to be God’s will?
Could it be that all the men in our Lao Xiang family are destined to be in this business?
When they met, Ryoko was shocked.
"Brother! Why are you here!"
"Come here," I said coldly.
He came closer and I slapped him across the face.
He didn't dare to fight back, so he covered his face and looked confused.
"I heard that you want to follow someone to rob a tomb?" I asked.
Hearing my question, he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother! It must have been Xiaoying who told you! What does a woman know about her kindness? Nowadays, as long as you are brave, you can make a fortune!"
Liangzi asked me to sit down and introduced excitedly, "Cousin, I met a master last month. He is currently short of manpower. He said that as long as I follow him and work hard, I can make a fortune. I can earn this amount in less than a year."
He compared it, and I asked how much it was.
Liangzi said loudly, "Ten million! I can earn at least ten million a year!"
I muttered in my heart when I heard that, I just followed the leader all over the world, and it took me four years to save nearly 10 million yuan in savings. You don't know a thing about this, but you can earn 10 million yuan in a year? That's a lot of money.
Money is money, not paper.
I asked, "Are you determined to follow someone else? Then doesn't your wife?" Let, what should I do?”
"If she doesn't let me do it! Then I will divorce her! We will live our own lives from now on!"
I was so angry that I wanted to hit him again.
You can't teach a child. That Sichuan girl from Deyang is such a good girl. I'm going to follow you for nothing.
I suppressed my emotions and asked, "If you want to rob tombs, do you know how to read Feng Shui, or do you know how to find ancient tombs?"
He shook his head and explained in a low voice, "Cousin, you are a layman, you don't understand."
"As for my eldest brother, he has several sets of advanced radars imported from Turkey. As long as there are ancient tombs underground, I can use my eldest brother's machine to scan them and know!"
I frowned and asked, "Are you talking about a military burrowing instrument? This thing is hard to find. Where did you get it?"
Liangzi was stunned and said, "Cousin, how did you know!"
"Where is your big brother? I want to see him."
Liangzi thought that I was also interested in joining the team, so she called him on the spot and asked him to come out.
The meeting place was set at the mutton soup shop opposite the west gate of the flea market.
An hour later, I met this man.
This man was estimated to be in his thirties, with a sloppy head, wearing a windbreaker and sunglasses, holding a cigarette in his hand, and dressed mysteriously, just like a spy.
"Ryoko, what's the matter with you? I told you not to reveal our plan, do you still want to make a fortune with me?"
Liangzi was busy pouring wine to apologize. He smiled and said, "Brother, this is my cousin, a member of my family! He also wants to follow us."
The man took a sip of the mutton soup, crossed his legs and asked, "What's your name?"
Before I could say anything, Liangzi jumped in and said, "My cousin's name is Xiang Yunfeng."
"Hot, hot, hot!"
"You are carrying Yunfeng!
"Are you the Northern Divine Eye Peak!?"
He looked excited and panicked, and quickly put down the mutton soup bowl.
I said I was.
He looked at me with his mouth wide open.
"Ryoko! The Northern Divine Eye Peak is actually your cousin!"
"Why the hell didn't you tell me earlier! Did you mean to tease me?"
Ryoko looked confused.
"Forget it, if Liangzi doesn't know, don't talk about him."
I took a big bite of the sesame seed cake, chewed it and asked in a low voice, "I heard you have a hollow device in your hand?"
He hurriedly said, "Yes, it comes from Turkey. It is the highest quality product at present! There are only two in China, and the other one is in the Sinopec geological exploration team."
"Can I see the real thing?"
"Of course!"
"But before that, Brother Feng, can you sign your name for me first? You are my idol!"
