After hearing his son's words, Ye Dongping laughed and said: "Since these things cannot be seen in the light, of course most of them are unearthed cultural relics, but as long as the people do not take action against the officials, nothing will happen..."
Although tomb robbing has become more rampant than in the 1980s, it is still relatively obscure. The country does not really pay attention to this area. Almost everyone who is in the antique business will have some connection with these people.
.
For example, the person who introduced Ye Dongping to the Diwang gang for trading last time is an antique dealer in the Jiangnan area who specializes in collecting these ancient artifacts (underworld artifacts). In Yanjing, the biggest dealer now is Mr. Ji Ranji.
Ji Ran used the auction house as a public business, but privately he united with tomb robbing gangs from several nearby provinces to help them sell the artifacts obtained from tomb robbing.
Because Ji Ran's family has a certain background and money has helped him, Mr. Ji's business has been going smoothly in the past few years, and he has also built up the reputation of the auction house.
Only after he started doing business, Mr. Ji also realized the importance of background more deeply. If he hadn't relied on his family, he would have been in jail early in the morning, so he tried his best to repair the relationship with Ye Tian.
of.
After hearing his father's explanation, Ye Tian thought for a moment and said, "Dad, I'll go with you tomorrow. However, I think it's better for you to have less hands on this kind of business. Sooner or later, the country will take it seriously. Don't wait till then."
I’ll settle the score with you!”
No matter what era it is, digging up ancestral graves is something that both humans and gods are outraged about, not to mention making profits from it. With the prosperity of the antique market, relevant departments will surely take some protective measures.
Ye Dongping nodded and said: "Don't worry, dad knows it well. He has collected a lot of good stuff over the years. When the market heats up, I will sell it out exclusively through the auction house..."
Compared with those colleagues in Panjiayuan, Ye Dongping is considered a more discerning antiques dealer.
The reason why Ye Dongping is often short of money is because he has been doing antique business for many years, adhering to the principle of more in, less out, or no out at all, waiting for the boom of the art market to come.
Even though Ye Dongping can't sell a few things a year now, he has all the good stuff stored away.
Not to mention anything else, if Ye Dongping takes out the more than 30 pieces of Ming and Qing official kiln porcelain in the warehouse, it will definitely cause a sensation in the antique circles of Sijiu City.
Otherwise, Ye Dongping's pressure will increase. At least he has to eat, right? He also has to take care of his younger sister's family, plus the expenses of the courtyard, which is a lot of money every month. He just
If you can't buy or sell, the economy becomes tight.
Therefore, Ye Dongping's eyes have been fixed on those ancient artifacts that came out of the tombs in the past two years. Firstly, these items are old and have a lot of room for appreciation. Secondly, they are cheap, and Ye Dongping's funds can be turned around.
"Dad, I will go with you the day after tomorrow!"
Ye Tian nodded without saying anything. From a scholar to a philistine businessman, as the master of the Ye family, his father must also have unspeakable bitterness in his heart——
As for participating in the antique black market the day after tomorrow, Ye Tian only held the idea of getting lucky. Is it so easy to see magic weapons?
At least Ye Tian has lived for these twenty years and followed the old path to travel to so many places. So far, apart from the "Da Qi Tong Bao" passed down to him by his master, he has only encountered the "Wuhen" one.
Magical weapon.
So Ye Tian didn't take this matter to heart. He went to his yard early the next morning. Since Wei Hongjun took over a big project next month, the progress of the project here has also accelerated. Ye Tian had to pay more attention to it.
Focus.
"Ye Tian, the underground work is basically completed, and the renovation of the house is almost complete. Except for the gardens in a few yards, there are mainly some detailed decorations below. If you have any requests, please put them forward!"
The person accompanying Ye Tian was naturally Wang Gong. Wei Hongjun was very busy during this period and had little contact with Ye Tian. He only had occasional phone calls.
"Wang Gong, the gardens of these three courtyards must be made according to the requirements drawn on my drawings. The size of the pond must not be changed..."
Of the three gardens Ye Tian mentioned, the front and back gardens are where the center of the courtyard is. After all are built, if you look down at the courtyard from a high altitude, you will find that the entire courtyard is like a Bagua pattern.
The two gardens at the front and back are the yin and yang eyes in the Bagua Tai Chi pattern, and the garden in the middle courtyard is a spiritual gathering circle.
The two qi of yin and yang are injected into the courtyard from these two places, and then guided by the underground white marble formation and the spirit gathering formation in the middle courtyard, they merge with each other, and finally produce the purest spiritual energy in the world, which is used for Ye Tian's cultivation.
However, from the outside, this courtyard is the same as all the courtyards, except that the blue bricks on the ground and the architecture of the house are new, which will not affect the overall style of the courtyard.
Ye Tian is still very satisfied with the current progress of the courtyard project. He once opened up a floor paved with bluestone tiles to check the white marble paved underneath, and found that it completely met his requirements.
But Ye Tian's approach made Wang Gong very confused. The reason why this white marble is precious is because of its pure white color. It looks good when made into railings and other decorations, but Ye Tian just used it as a roadbed stone.
After all, after the paving is completed, a layer of bluestone bricks, which are common in courtyard houses, needs to be laid on top.
Wang Gong once mentioned this matter to Wei Hongjun, but Wei Hongjun reprimanded him. The customer paid, as long as you are not allowed to kill people and set fires, why do you care so much?
Hearing Ye Tian mention those gardens, Wang Gong smiled and said: "Ye Tian, don't worry, in order to build your water circulation system and gardens, Mr. Wei specially recruited a garden landscape designer to join the company, and he will definitely let you
satisfied!"
"Okay, Mr. Wang, go ahead and do your work. I'll just go around by myself..." Ye Tian nodded with satisfaction.
In today's world, it's easy to do things if you have money. Those old and dilapidated wing rooms have now been renovated. The ceiling beams inside have been either replaced or repainted. They look very comfortable inside and out.
Moreover, Ye Tian also built toilets in the main and side rooms of each courtyard, so that there is no need to go out to empty the toilet every morning. Anyone who has lived in a bungalow knows that this is not an ordinary trouble.
In addition, Ye Tian had people open up the three side rooms in the central courtyard to serve as the kitchen and dining room. Although the courtyard still looks antique from the outside, it is very modern inside.
However, Ye Tian changed the ghost gate in the backyard and the horse gallery that used to keep horses into a garage. The door of the garage faces a street outside, and not far away is the wall of the Forbidden City.
When Ye Tian's quadrangle is built, it will definitely be the only quadrangle in Yanjing City. In the late 1990s, although some people began to consciously renovate the quadrangle, they would never think that Ye Tian would almost tear it down and rebuild it.
Of course, the transformation of the courtyard house into this was all due to money. You know, Ye Tian only spent more than 700,000 yuan to buy this house, but now he has thrown away 15,600,000 yuan to build it. This is not even
Calculate the furniture and other facilities in the yard after the day.
Ye Tian had nothing to do anyway, so he was teasing the young ferret while wandering around. The little one was growing very fast, and teeth had grown on his gums. He could already feel slight pain when he bit Ye Tian's finger.
Moreover, the young ferrets never drink milk powder and only eat chicken. At first, the old lady complained every day. Not only did she have to serve adults, she actually had to serve a beast.
However, the little guy was very psychic. Apart from Ye Tian, he only let the old lady hold him. He would lie in the old lady's arms and bask in the sun when he had nothing to do. This also made the old lady very curious, and her resentment naturally disappeared.
After staying in his yard all day, Ye Tiancai returned home in the evening, but his father pulled his ear and gave him a lesson because he went out without his mobile phone.
Early the next morning, Ye Dongping drove his old Santana and drove Ye Tian to the outskirts of the city. I heard that antique dealers from several places in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei were coming today, and the scene was not ordinary.
Ye Dongping returned to Yanjing for a short time, and he never made big moves, so his reputation in the circle was not very good. In the past, such a black market would not invite him. This time, with his son's favor, Ye Dongping also had a lot of success along the way.
Somewhat excited.
"Ye Tian, look at how nice the villa community here is. The air is fresh and the environment is beautiful. It's healthy and environmentally friendly..."
When the car drove past a villa in the suburbs, Ye Dongping suddenly remembered the courtyard house that his son had been struggling with all day long, and couldn't help but said: "I bought the courtyard house for 700,000 yuan, and threw away another 2 million yuan for decoration. I don't know what you are doing."
What do you think?"
Won't the old house that Ye Dongping lives in now still have to be passed down to his son in the future? So he felt that Ye Tian's purchase of another courtyard house was purely unnecessary, as now all the rich people have fled to the suburbs.
"Hey, dad, I just like courtyard houses. Don't forget, I grew up in a rural area. It's not about health and environmental protection. I don't know how many people in rural areas dream of going to the city to take a breath of car exhaust..."
Ye Tian hadn't chatted with his father for a long time. He was sitting in the car talking nonsense, and he was in a good mood. While the father and son were chatting and laughing, the car drove outside a gate with a wall. The wall was covered with broken glass.
scum.
The gate is made of welded tin sheets and is four to five meters wide and over two meters high. You can't see what's going on inside at all from the outside.
The sign hanging next to the gate shows that this is a repair shop, but it is neither a highway nor a national highway. Anyone who understands can tell at a glance that it is used for another purpose——
