After Fang Jun and Ye Qun left, Wang Heping was surrounded by a group of people from the past, especially Ge Dashao and Hui Shao, who waved the approval documents in their hands...
Wang Heping has experienced this kind of battle before. When his grandfather was the secretary of the provincial party committee, some yamen in Handong Province also flattered him in the same way.
However, the feeling at that time was completely different from now.
In the past, the biggest backers in the yamen who flattered him were at the deputy ministerial level at most. Most of the family members of cadres at the department and bureau level were like now. If you pick one out at random, their background is no less than his.
This kind of compliment made Wang Heping a little erratic, so...
"Come in, this is my office, haha, but I rarely come here usually." Ye Qun said.
"It looks quite retro. This decoration looks a bit old." Fang Jun came to the office, looked around a few times and smiled.
The office is large, but the decoration cannot be said to be very luxurious. It can even be said to be a bit simple. Except for a few things such as chandeliers, air conditioners, computers, telephones, etc., there is no modern atmosphere at all.
All the tables, chairs, furnishings, even screens, etc., look like what they saw on TV.
"You have a good eye. Most of the things here have some origins and can be considered antiques." Ye Qun smiled.
"Are they all antiques?" Fang Jun was surprised when he heard this.
In his impression, shouldn't antiques be placed in museums for people to admire and learn? Can they also be placed directly at home?
"That's about right. Take a look in this room. If you're interested in anything, you can take it away. I'll give it to you." Ye Qun said.
"Well, I'm sorry, a gentleman doesn't take what others like..." Fang Jun shook his head hesitantly.
It is said that gold is found in troubled times and antiques are found in prosperous times.
Antiques are generally played by those who are elegant and very wealthy. They hang a few famous paintings in their offices, or get some fine porcelain from the Ming and Qing dynasties, etc.
After all, the old Fang family has insufficient background and does not even have the money to expand the factory. Naturally, his father has no interest in playing with antiques. Therefore, Fang Jun's interest in these gadgets is still limited to some posts he browsed on the Internet or in museums.
On top of those scraps of metal.
Moreover, antiques are too expensive. Not to mention national treasure-level cultural relics, even a second-level cultural relic may bankrupt the entire old Fang family and cannot afford to buy it...
"Haha, it's okay. I have a lot of these things. If you like something, just take it." Ye Qun chuckled and shook his head.
As for antiques, although he had deliberately collected them in the past, he really didn't collect much. However, until his cousin Tang Fei came out, he followed him and collected some, and then the whole house couldn't fit it. Now he still has it.
There are a lot of things lying in my warehouse, never seen...
"Then let's take this thing back and give it to my dad. He usually likes to write when he has nothing to do. He should like this pair of paperweights as a gift." Fang Jun saw the pair of paperweights engraved with tiger heads on the table.
Paperweight road.
"Haha, you have a good sense. This is a tiger gold paperweight used by Wang Anshi, a famous official in the Northern Song Dynasty. The upper part is made of gold and a certain proportion of silver and bronze. The lower part is inlaid with mutton-fat white jade from Kunlun Mountain. It is really quite good.
Not bad." Ye Qun introduced with a smile.
"Pfft...a paperweight from the Song Dynasty? Was it used by Wang Anshi?" Fang Jun almost bit his tongue when he heard this...
Who is Wang Anshi? Anyone who has gone to school probably doesn't know that he is one of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties and a famous prime minister in the Northern Song Dynasty. He presided over the reform, but in the end it failed because the opposition was too strong...
However, the failure of reform did not affect this man's status in Chinese history at all. The article "Shang Zhongyong" I studied when I was in school was his work.
It is said that there is a saying that the prime minister's ability to punt a boat is related to Wang Anshi.
It is said that after Wang Anshi's wife died, he took a concubine, but I don't know whether Wang Anshi was old and unable to do what he wanted, or the concubine's desire was a bit strong. Anyway, she committed adultery with one of Wang Anshi's servants...
Wang Anshi was such a man, so clear-eyed, who could hide it from him? The adultery between the two was quickly exposed.
Wang Anshi was furious. For a man, being cuckolded is a very unacceptable thing.
However, this concubine, I don’t know if she has been with Wang Anshi for a long time, and she has also acquired some of his talents. She said to Wang Anshi, "The prime minister can punt a boat..."
After Wang Anshi heard this, he understood the plight of his concubine, and finally gave her a lot of money to help her and her concubine. Later, this sentence spread.
"That's right, look carefully at the inscriptions on the left and right tiger heads. One is carved with Jiefu, and the other is carved with Banshan! Jiefu is Wang Anshi's character, and Banshan is his nickname!" Ye Qun said.
"It's true, I still don't want it anymore..." Fang Jun heard this and reluctantly let go of the tiger gold paperweight.
"No, why?" Ye Qun asked confused.
"It's too expensive. Things used by Wang Anshi must be very expensive if they have been kept for such a long time..." Fang Jun shook his head.
"Haha, this is nothing. If these paperweights were sold, they would probably be around eight million." Ye Qun shook his head and smiled, "eight million" is as casual as two hundred yuan...
Hearing this, Fang Jun shook his head repeatedly and said: "Eight million? This is too expensive... It's almost more valuable than the house our family lives in. Let's forget it. I don't want this. Our house can't afford it..."
"Haha, then why don't you look at something else?" Ye Qun was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head with a wry smile.
"Then let's just have this string of beads. It just so happens that my girlfriend's father-in-law seems to prefer this kind of thing. It would be nice to take it back and give it to him... Oh, by the way, how much is this string of beads worth?" Fang Jun
asked.
Ye Qun was about to speak, but then he thought that he originally wanted to give the tiger gold paperweight to his father, but when he told him the price of the tiger gold paperweight, he actually chose not to take it. Now the value of this bracelet is higher than that of the tiger gold paperweight.
Gold paperweights are even more expensive...
"This is not valuable. It's only one or two thousand yuan. I bought it at a street stall. It's just for fun. You can take it." Ye Qun said.
Fang Jun was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Ye Qun with some suspicion. The pair of tiger gold paperweights just cost eight million, but he didn't expect that this pretty good-looking bracelet only cost one or two thousand yuan?
"Well, that's okay."
With that said, Fang Jun directly put the bracelet on his hand.
However, Fang Jun did not notice that after Ye Qun saw Fang Jun take away the bracelet, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes... (To be continued)
