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."
You get a discounted 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: "Is this still expensive? It's so cheap, isn't it! Then brother, how much can I get for it?"
"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!"
He shook his head: "We are looking for your boss's boss, Mr. Qin, and you just tell him that we were introduced by Mr. Zhao Zhendong."
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 said hello to 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 glanced 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. This certificate... I'm afraid it won't be easy to get."
, I can only say that I will try my best, and you can take back this 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 surnamed Qin nodded and asked a few of us: "Do you have any criminal records? The kind that can be found."
Looking at each other, I shook my head and said, "No, we are all very 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 Project, 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.
