"Do you understand all these words?" Lin Ling asked curiously.
"You can understand it, but I've never heard of many of the place names above!" Liu Dong frowned.
Moreover, many of the place names marked on it are obviously from before the Tang Dynasty, and have been changed by now. If it weren't for Liu Dong's outstanding memory after getting the relic Yuanguang, and he learned more and more knowledge about various aspects, I'm afraid he really wouldn't know.
.
However, there are more than 20 place names marked on this map, which Liu Dong has never even heard of. He even doubts whether these places have really appeared in China!
"Xiaodong, this map seems incomplete. The two sides have been torn off!" Lin Ling said in surprise after looking at it for a while.
After nodding, Liu Dong's eyes flashed, and he stretched his right hand behind his back. After avoiding Lin Ling's sight, Liu Dong took the silk map he had originally obtained from Master Jiuzhi in the cave under Baizhang Cliff in his hometown.
come out.
He hadn't noticed it just now, but once Lin Ling reminded him, Liu Dong immediately remembered that the earliest silk book map he got was the same as the map in front of him. There were signs of tearing on both sides, and the size and material were exactly the same.
It's just that the content is completely different.
"Xiaodong, do you have another map?" When Liu Dong put the silk map in his hand on the table, he immediately caught Lin Ling's attention.
︽And out of curiosity, he didn’t pay much attention to how Liu Dong took out this map.
"Yes, I picked it up in my hometown when I went home for the last Chinese New Year. See if the two maps match up!"
Hearing this, Lin Ling quickly laid the two maps flat on the table. As expected, the fractures of the two maps matched very well. Obviously they should have been one piece!
But it is obvious that the two silk-book maps together are only half of a complete map, and the remaining half is still unknown!
"Xiaodong, are the characters on this half of the map in small seal script?" Lin Ling asked curiously after looking at the map Liu Dong took out.
"That's right! I didn't expect Sister Ling to be so knowledgeable and know Xiaozhuan!" Liu Dong said.
Lin Lingjiao blushed, "I only saw them in history textbooks when I was in school, but I don't know what they mean!"
Perhaps out of slight embarrassment, Lin Ling quickly changed the topic. "Why is this obviously a map, but the text is different?"
Liu Dong frowned, thought for a while and then said: "The person who drew this map must be hiding something? But I don't know what it is specifically. There are no valuable clues on these two maps!
"
"Could it be a treasure?" Lin Ling asked with great interest.
"I didn't expect Sister Ling to be so obsessed with money, but maybe she really is!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"Hmph!" After giving Liu Dong an annoyed look, Lin Ling looked at the two maps and said with a hint of longing in her tone, "When I was in school in Canada, my favorite movie was Indiana Jones.
"Raiders of the Lost Ark". If this is really a treasure map, what do you think of us going treasure hunting together?"
Seeing Lin Ling's fascinated look, Liu Dong shook his head secretly. He had always heard people say that women are more curious than men, and he still didn't believe it. Now looking at Lin Ling's expression, she completely believed it!
"Let's wait until we get the whole map together!" As he said that, Liu Dong suddenly stretched out his hand and picked up Lin Ling's soft body.
"Oh, what are you doing? Put me down quickly!"
"Haha, I'll let you down soon!"
With that said, Liu Dong had already picked up Lin Ling and ran towards the bedroom.
The moment Liu Dong went out, the two maps placed on the table had been received by him into the mustard space.
…
Originally, Liu Dong wanted to stay in the capital for a few more days until Puhua Red Star's spring auction ended, but after receiving an unexpected call from Chen Xiang, he left Lin Lingti to take care of the company's government affairs. As for the auction,
Whatever Liu Dong wanted, Chen Yuguang would naturally do it for him.
At 10 a.m. on May 14, Liu Dong's plane had arrived at Zhengzhou Airport.
"boss!"
Seeing Liu Dong walking out of the station carrying only a black backpack, Chen Xiang hurriedly greeted him!
"Xiangzi, have everything been done?" Liu Dong asked after getting in the car.
"Yes, boss, the antique store has been negotiated. The personnel have been recruited according to your instructions. I have also screened out a dozen candidates for the shopkeeper. The information has been prepared. Please take a look, boss!" With that, Chen
Xiang took out a thick stack of documents from his briefcase and handed them to Liu Dong.
After briefly flipping through it, Liu Dong said, "Have you ever come into contact with any of these people?"
"I have only come into contact with this person named Wang Jianguo. This person is a well-known Baofu Zhai in Zhengzhou Antique City. When I just bought our Chenxiangge Zhengzhou branch, this person took the initiative to recommend himself.
To become the shopkeeper of our Chenxiang Pavilion, I don’t dare to make the decision without you, so I just recorded his information!”
After nodding, Liu Dong continued: "Then what do you think of him? Is he suitable to be the shopkeeper of our Chenxiang Pavilion?"
After hearing this, Chen Xiang glanced at Liu Dong, with a look on his face that made him hesitate to speak.
"It doesn't matter. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
"Yes, boss, I feel that although this person is capable and experienced, he has an indescribable feeling about him!"
"Feeling, what does it feel like?" Liu Dong asked immediately.
"It's like those people who take advantage of the odds!" Chen Xiang said.
In the antique industry, taking advantage of others is tomb robbing, and it also includes cheating, just like the group Liu Dong met in the stilted building when he was in Yibin last time!
"You mean he's targeting us?" Liu Dong asked with a frown.
"I don't know yet, but we are new here in Chenxiang Pavilion. I believe there must be many demons and monsters in Zhengzhou Antique City who are interested in us. Maybe this Wang Jianguo is just a pawn who was pushed across the river!" Chen Xiang frowned and thought.
After listening and looking at him, Liu Dong smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, Chen Xiang, it seems that Mr. Li and Uncle Zhong's teachings to you were not in vain, and now you can take charge of your own business!"
"Boss, thank you. I'm still far behind the two old men. I still have a lot to learn!" Chen Xiang said modestly.
"Okay, don't be so polite with me. Once the Chenxiangge Zhengzhou branch is on track, you can go to the capital to find Mr. Li!"
"Going to the capital? Looking for Mr. Li?" Chen Xiang said in surprise.
"That's right, I have asked Mr. Li to open our Chenxiangge Beijing branch. Then I will let Mr. Li take you for two years. After you become familiar with the Beijing antique circle, you will be the shopkeeper of the Chenxiangge Beijing branch!"
"Shall I be the shopkeeper?" After being surprised, Chen Xiang said quickly, "Master, please stop thinking about it. Beijing is the largest antique market in the country, and I'm afraid I won't be qualified for this position!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Li is watching behind you!" Liu Dong patted the other party's shoulder and encouraged, "Okay, Chen Xiang, don't belittle yourself. What are your abilities? Uncle Zhong and I both know
It’s clear, when the situation in Zhengzhou is understood, you can go to the capital and take office, and strive to support the Chenxiangge Beijing branch as soon as possible!”
Liu Dong's expectant eyes gave Chen Xiang great encouragement, "Thank you, boss, I will definitely work hard!"
"That's right! ...By the way, Chen Xiang, how long does it take to get to the Antique City?"
"Boss, this is the way to take you to the hotel. Once you have rested, it won't be too late for us to go to the antique city tomorrow!" Chen Xiang said quickly.
"Okay, it's only a two-hour flight from the capital to Zhengzhou. I'm not too tired. Let's go directly to Zhengzhou Antique City. Decide the matter early and take a rest!"
Liu Dong is the big boss, so he naturally takes his word for granted. Soon the driver made a U-turn at Chen Xiang's order!
…
Zhengzhou Antique City was founded in 1997 and officially opened in February 1998. The Antique City is a five-story large shopping mall, including antiques, arts and crafts, collectibles and other business items. It has more than 500 merchants, engaged in business
With more than 1,000 employees, assets of 1.4 billion yuan, and 20,000 square meters of trading space and ancillary facilities, it is one of the largest antique markets in China, second only to the famous Panjiayuan!
"I heard that the Zhengzhou Antique City was built with reference to the Sunset Tower, one of the eight famous buildings in the Tang Dynasty. It looks quite similar to it. It combines ancient and modern times and looks quite impressive!" Liu Dong said when Liu Dong said:
After getting off the car, he looked up at the five-story antique city that was nearly thirty meters high and said.
"'The willows are dark and the flowers are bright, and the sky is full of sorrow. I go up to the city and go upstairs. I want to ask where Gu Hong is going, but I don't know where I live.' It's a pity that thousands of years have passed, and it is difficult to see the peerless style of the Sunset Tower written by Li Shangyin!" Liu Dong sighed!
After saying a few words, he walked towards the gate on the side of the antique city.
"Boss, the first floor of the Antique City is the jade and wood crafts business area, the second floor is mainly for antiques and miscellaneous items, the third floor is calligraphy and painting art, the fourth floor is the high-end White Jade Street and Feicui Street, and the fifth floor is the Yongchang Porcelain Manor Exhibition Hall and Weekend
Flea market. The north side of the building is a free trading area, specializing in calligraphy and painting mounting, large porcelain and rare ancient books. Our Chenxiang Pavilion branch is on the second floor!"
Listening to Chen Xiang's explanation, Liu Dong walked into the lobby on the first floor of the Antique City. Looking at the bustling crowd around him, he was slightly surprised and said: "I didn't expect there to be so many people?"
"Today is Saturday, so there are more people visiting the antique city. Boss, please come this way!"
After nodding, Liu Dong followed Chen Xiang and took the elevator to the second floor! He soon found the Chenxiang Pavilion branch that was being renovated at the moment!
"Boss, the largest antique store in the antique city is only 450 square meters, which cannot meet your requirements, so I bought the two adjacent ones, adding up to a total of 800 square meters!" Chen Xiang said.
"Yeah!" Liu Dong nodded, walked to the thick wall next to him, knocked it lightly and said, "Such a thick wall should be a load-bearing wall. Is it okay for us to get through it?"
"I have already asked the property management company. Although it is strong and thick, it is mainly for safety reasons and does not bear the weight of the entire building. Therefore, after we demolish it, it will not have much impact!"
"That's good!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
