Professor Guo took a look and found that the pipe was all emerald green and crystal clear. He knew that this thing was valuable, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "It's too expensive, I can't have it."
Zhang Jun thrust the pipe into Professor Guo's hand and said with an unhappy look on his face: "Uncle Guo said so, should I also return the soapstone to you?"
Professor Guo was speechless. The piece of soapstone he gave to Zhang Jun was a good thing that he had collected for many years. It was in good condition and large in size. It was difficult to buy in the market and its value was inestimable.
The reason why he gave such a precious thing was firstly to thank Zhang Jun for asking someone to cure his illness that he had suffered for many years, and secondly to thank Zhang Jun for his willingness to rent the copper incense burner from the Xuande 3rd year to the Archaeological Museum of Chung Yuan University. More importantly, he had
Treating Zhang Jun as an old friend, he would not be stingy in taking action.
Zhang Jun then smiled "haha" and said, "Uncle Guo, it's just a gadget, don't think too much about it."
Professor Guo knew that he could no longer refuse, so he had to take the pipe and said: "Forget it, I can't convince you, I'll accept it for now."
After chatting for a while, Guo Lan mentioned his wish to find a job in Donghai. After hearing this, Zhang Jun said: "Guo Lan, your major is archeology, and you know more about antiques, calligraphy and painting than ordinary people. Why don't you go work in a pawn shop?"
What do you think?"
Today's pawn shops have a wide range of business. Anything that can be mortgaged, such as gold and silver jewelry, cars, real estate, stocks and bonds, etc., can be pawned in a pawn shop in exchange for a loan.
The pawn shop collects all kinds of things, so it naturally needs knowledgeable talents, otherwise the business will not be able to develop. Guo Lan happens to be a talent in archeology and can be responsible for the acquisition of pawn shops' writing, calligraphy and painting.
Guo Lan's eyes lit up and he said: "Okay, I have learned a lot of theoretical knowledge, but I am a little weak in practice. Of course I am willing to go to a pawn shop if I can."
Zhang Jun smiled and said, "That's easy. I know a person who runs the largest pawn shop in the East China Sea. I can introduce you to it."
The person he was talking about was Zhang Wu. Zhang Wu was involved in many areas in the East China Sea, including a pawn shop. The pawn shop was very large, with a current capital of up to 5 billion, and an annual profit of nearly 1 billion.
Guo Lan smiled and said: "Thank you then. I'm worried about where to find a job."
It was getting late, Zhang Jun did not stay long, and after talking for a few words, he was about to leave. Professor Guo asked Guo Lan to send him out. Outside the door, Guo Lan suddenly asked: "Zhang Jun, is Lin ### your girlfriend?"
Zhang Jun looked back at her and found that she looked a little strange, so he said, "Yes, we are dating."
"Oh." Guo Lan lowered his head, "Congratulations, you have found such a beautiful and capable girlfriend."
Zhang Jun could tell that the girl in front of him was a little sad. He secretly wondered, thinking something unhappy had happened to her?
The next day, Zhang Jun and Professor Guo met with Liu Ziguang and his daughter. When Liu Ziguang saw that Zhang Jun had brought Professor Guo, the two had met at the opening ceremony, so he smiled and said, "I feel relieved that Professor Guo is willing to come forward."
.”
Professor Guo said a few words modestly and asked Liu Ziguang: "Where is the painting Mr. Liu wants to see? What is its origin?"
Liu Ziguang invited the two of them to the car, asked Liu Ling to start the car, and then said: "It is a work of Mr. Wu Guanxing, a contemporary master of calligraphy and painting, a painting of "Ten Thousand Rivers and Thousands of Mountains". Mr. Wu passed away the year before last, so the prices of his works have continued to rise.
The prices are rising, and two paintings have been sold for over 100 million yuan."
Professor Guo said: "It turned out to be Mr. Wu. I had the honor to visit him in my early years and asked him for advice on calligraphy and painting. Mr. Wu's paintings are learned from both China and the West, and his style of painting is not rigidly bound to ancient laws and regulations. He can be called a great master in the contemporary painting world.
"
Liu Ziguang said with emotion: "Yes, I visited Mr. Wu before he passed away. I respect his persistence in painting very much. That painting was a gift from Mr. Wu at that time. After I got the painting, I lent him
I gave it to a friend to copy and borrowed it for half a year."
Zhang Junqi said: "Since it is loaned out, you can just take it back. Why do you need expert identification? Are you afraid that the other party will change the package?"
Liu Ziguang smiled bitterly and said: "If you know that person's character, you will not be surprised. That person's name is Yang Tiansheng, and he is the boss of New Donghai Real Estate. The market value of New Donghai Real Estate exceeds 50 billion, and his personal assets are also
Up to tens of billions."
"In his early years, this person did the business of digging graves and monuments, selling cultural relics, and working as a bankrupt. After he accumulated primitive accumulation, he started to do real estate in the East China Sea. This person has no moral bottom line in his work. I really can't trust his character.
, worried that the painting would be transferred." Liu Ziguang did not hide it.
Zhang Jun frowned: "If that's the case, why did you lend it to him in the first place?"
Liu Ziguang sighed: "I owe him a favor, so I have to borrow it."
Zhang Jun did not ask further. Zhang Wu once told him about Yang Tiansheng. He described Yang Tiansheng in eight words, "very dark-hearted and extremely thick-skinned." There is no doubt that such a person is very scary.
The place where Yang Tiansheng lives is located in the western suburbs of the East China Sea. It is a patchwork of small western-style buildings, seven parts of which resemble Gothic buildings, and the other part of which are of local origin. The manor is very large, with a large swimming pool, a helicopter pad, a stadium, etc.
Everything is available, showing the owner's strong financial resources.
Zhang Jun discovered that the security measures at Yang Tiansheng's residence were extremely strict. A special watchtower was built around the courtyard wall, with large searchlights installed on it, and several well-trained personnel monitored the movements of the residence.
In the garden, there are several security guards patrolling around with wolf dogs, making this place even stricter than a prison, as even a fly cannot easily fly in.
The four people passed through two security gates before finally entering the building. They were led by a middle-aged man who looked like a butler into a living room with a splendid golden wall. After a while, the servant brought tea, and the few of them said nothing.
chatting.
The person leading the way said: "My master is busy with something, please wait a moment."
When they entered the living room, it happened to be 9:10 in the morning. Several people waited for a full hour, but Yang Tiansheng didn't come out until 10:10. Liu Ziguang's face gradually showed anger, and even Liu Ling frowned with a very serious expression.
Not happy.
Zhang Jun was also extremely unhappy. This Yang Tiansheng was so arrogant! He glanced around the living room and finally landed on a pillar on the side of the hall.
On the left and right sides of the hall, three huge red-painted pillars were erected. The pillars were hollowed out and designed to form a layer-by-layer grid for displaying items. They were filled with very precious items, including porcelain, bronze, jade, etc.
Through perspective, Zhang Jun found that the four pillars were all made of wood and were very strong. However, he found that one of the pillars was vibrating at a certain frequency. Although the amplitude was very small, it was still invisible to his eyes.
It was mentioned in the physics textbook in high school that the object itself has a natural frequency. When the frequency of the driving force is the same as the natural frequency of the forced vibrating object, the amplitude of the forced vibrating object will reach its maximum value.
At the same time, he also heard a clear roar from outside, and knew that something must be shaking the earth nearby, thus affecting the pillar.
After thinking for a moment, he had something to think about, and suddenly said to Liu Ziguang: "Uncle Liu, let's go for a walk, the hall is very stuffy."
Liu Ziguang was already annoyed and said, "Okay, let's go for a walk."
The man who looked like the general manager didn't stop them, and took the initiative to take them to visit the garden. A few people walked and chatted, and not long after, Zhang Jun discovered that there were workers working on construction not far ahead. A worker hit the ground with a pneumatic tamper and shouted
The loud noise of "boom, boom, boom, boom" can be heard from a long distance.
The gas rammer is a gasoline-burning machine that can be used to ram the foundation, thereby making the buildings on the ground stronger. The efficiency is much higher than the earth ramming method. It has been widely used more than ten years ago.
He asked the middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper: "Is a house being built here?"
The man nodded: "Yes, the master wants to build a pavilion here, and the construction just started yesterday."
Zhang Jun nodded, then strode to the worker and handed him a cigarette first. The worker knew that the people living in this yard were not simple, so he quickly stopped working, took the cigarette with both hands respectfully, and said
Thanks.
He smiled and said: "Master, are you busy?"
The worker said: "Yes."
He said: "I have done this kind of work before. When I saw you tamping just now, my hands were a little itchy, so I wanted to come over and try your hand."
When he heard that Zhang Jun was still a "companion", the worker became interested and said with a smile: "Since you have done it before, of course you can." After saying that, he handed the gasoline tamping machine to Zhang Jun.
Zhang Jun knew this kind of machine very well. He quickly started it, and then he felt his arms shake, and the iron guy as tall as a person jumped up, producing a huge impact.
He is a fierce man who has practiced Ming Jin, and his control of power is very exquisite. Naturally, he will not rush around, but quickly adjust the direction and strength, so that the pile driver lands steadily and leaves a deep mark on the ground.
Seeing Zhang Jun's skillful use of force, the worker couldn't help but praise: "Your technique is better than mine, it's amazing!"
Zhang Jun smiled "hehe": "Master, take a rest and let me play for a while."
The man smiled, agreed, and squatted aside to smoke.
Every time he tamped a few times, he would adjust the throttle of the tamping machine so that the tamping frequency would be constantly close to the natural frequency of the wooden pillar. After about a dozen times, the two frequencies were in perfect agreement.
In the distance, several people were puzzled by Zhang Jun's behavior. Liu Ling couldn't help but said: "What is he doing? Is he here to beat him if he has nothing to do?"
Liu Ziguang was also confused and said, "Maybe my hands were too busy, so I went over to play."
Professor Guo didn't think so. He thought about it and said with a smile: "He must not be playing, but he has some evil idea. He will know it soon."
As the tamping machine hit the ground again and again, the pillar in the hall more than 300 meters away began to vibrate, and the distortion of the pillar became larger and larger. In the end, the entire hall was shaking slightly.
"Boom! Boom!"
Zhang Jun held on to the tamping machine with a sneer on his face and his eyes fell towards the hall.
After about seven or eight minutes, the wooden pillar in the hall finally could not withstand the violent shaking and broke into two pieces with a "click". The countless precious cultural objects placed on it also fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
