Chapter 32 The World's First Postage Stamp
After seeing the contents of the paper clearly, Zhang Junping regretted it a little.
Sloppy!
shouldn't have opened the Luban box in front of Ma Du, this time it was revealed again.
"This is a postage stamp?
A few foreign stamps, what's the use?" Ma Du saw clearly what was in the paper, and was immediately disappointed.
"Haha! Brother Ma, you don't know this!
Don't look at these stamps, it's enough to buy the royal granary!" Zhang Junping laughed.
Of course, Zhang Junping also has reservations, these stamps, any one of these stamps can buy the current royal granary.
At this time, Ma Da was still a rookie, and his knowledge of cultural relics and antiques was still a hobby.
However, Big Guy Ma is still very awesome, not from a professional class, all based on hobbies, groping by himself, and finally becoming a famous collector, if you don't accept it!
"Is this stamp really so valuable?" Ma Du looked incredulous.
"Of course, I'll give you a science popularization!
This stamp was issued by the United States in 1851.
Because it was mainly Hawaiian missionaries who used this stamp at the time, it was called a missionary.
And this one, called Penny Black, was issued in 1840 and was the first stamp issued in the world!
This is the first one! I don't need to say more about his value, right?
As for these, they are all stamps before the founding of the People's Republic of China, so let's not talk about the price!" Zhang Junping said with a little ostentatiousness.
At this time, he no longer bothered about revealing the white thing.
It's good to have horses as witnesses, otherwise how can the pleasure of picking up leaks be reflected?
As the old saying goes, wealth does not return to the hometown, just like a night walk in brocade clothes.
In the same way, if this leak is not shown, it is like a night walk in brocade.
"If the robbery is not illegal, I want to rob you now!" Ma Du looked at Zhang Junping with envy and said faintly.
"Hahaha! Brother Ma, do you think you can beat me?" Zhang Junping bent his arm, revealing his well-developed biceps.
Originally, my predecessor often worked on the farm, so he exercised a good physique, but because he couldn't keep up with nutrition, he was a little emaciated.
For more than half a month, Zhang Junping has lived in the old lady's house, and it can be said that he has meat every day, and he has grown a lot of meat on his body, and he looks more robust.
Ma Du looked at Zhang Junping's body shape, and then at his own body shape, and hung his head in disappointment.
To say that he is not short, at least in this era, one meter seven or eight, definitely belongs to the big and tall!
The key is thinness, in the past few years of going to the countryside, with his mind, he has not suffered much, but it is precisely like this, he has not exercised a body of tendon meat like Zhang Junping.
Simply divert the topic, "Forget it, I'm not kidding you!"
What are you going to do with it?
"Don't worry, I can't sell it now!
Let's wait two years!" Zhang Junping carefully covered the piece of paper, so that the stamps could not be exposed to the outside for a long time.
Stamps from more than 100 years ago can be destroyed if you are not careful.
This is a rare sight of a small company of missionaries.
There are also two small singles of black pennies.
There is also a whole set of stamps for the big dragon, the small dragon, and the coiled dragon.
If this is ruined, Zhang Junping will not have to cry and faint.
Put the stamps away and put them in the Luban box.
Said to Ma Du with some apologies: "Brother Ma, put this Luban box here for the time being, and when I get back, I will settle the stamps and then send it to you!"
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry!
By the way, how much is your Luban box?
"Brother Ma, this Luban box is what I gave you!
After all, I witnessed the whole process of my leakage, the stamps are too precious, I am reluctant to give it to you, this small leaf red sandalwood Luban box is considered happy money!"
"Should I praise you for being generous, or should I call you stingy?
Yes, I didn't run in vain, brother, thank you here!
I'll have a treat at noon, let's go to Lao Mo for a big dinner!
I'll introduce you to a few good friends!"
"Okay, then I won't be polite to Brother Ma.
However, Brother Ma, you have to wait for me, I'm going to find my teacher for something, and we'll leave when I come back!" Zhang Junping said, casually putting the Luban box in the toolbox.
And then just left the studio.
The horses who watched were in tears, good brother!
With this trust alone, this friend has made up his mind!
Zhang Junping didn't think about it so much, mainly because he had nowhere to put it, and he didn't worry that the horse would come running with the Luban box.
Come to the school building.
In two weeks, school will be open.
The school's staff have already returned to work.
In other words, there are many faculty and staff who simply don't have any summer vacations.
They're busy recruiting new jobs.
Coming to the door of the vice dean's office, Zhang Junping knocked lightly on the door.
A deep voice came from inside, "Please come in!"
Zhang Junping pushed the door and entered, "Master!"
This is the first time Zhang Junping has entered Master's office.
The whole office is very elegantly furnished, a full set of Ming Dynasty furniture, and the material is wenge wood.
A large bookcase, with a four-out official hat chair in the back.
Behind them are two sets of bookcases, filled with a variety of books.
In front of the bookcase are two hoop chairs.
There is also a museum shelf against the wall on the right, on which are placed some small wood carving ornaments, root carving ornaments, these are Yang Mingde's own works.
On the empty wall on the left hangs a picture of Xu Beihong's eight horses.
Underneath the picture of the Eight Horses is an Arhat bed with a low table on it.
"Xiao Pingzi is here?" Seeing that it was Zhang Junping, Yang Mingde put down his pen and said with a smile.
"Master, can we change our name?" Zhang Junping protested with a wry smile.
"What's your name? Didn't your parents call you Pingzi?"
"It's calling me Pingzi, but it's not Xiaopingzi?
If you use me as a bottle, you can't be a big one?"
"When it's big, how cute is the little bottle?
Okay, the protest is invalid!
Are you done with your old furniture?"
"No! The studios alone have only sorted out less than a tenth of them!
Master Liu bought all the old furniture of all the thrift stations and material recycling companies in Beijing at once!
I'll finish it in a while!" Zhang Junping said with a wry smile.
There are hundreds of old pieces of furniture in the studio, and there are even more in the school's warehouse.
It's all up to him. Tidying up, without half a year's effort, don't want to finish it.
"Then you came to me for something?"
"Yes, Master!
Didn't I tell you before that you want to work and study?
I'm optimistic about a set of stores, just in Wangfujing, the kind of front store and back factory!
The property right is in the neighborhood committee, and people need a letter of introduction from the school before they are willing to rent it to me!
You can give me a letter of introduction!" Zhang Junping was not polite to the master, and directly said his request.
"Open a letter of introduction?
Did you write the last report I asked you to write?"
"Look, this will work!" Zhang Junping hurriedly took out the written work-study application form from his jacket pocket and handed it to the master with both hands.
Yang Mingde took it and flipped it, picked up the phone on the desk, and dialed it a few times, "Xiao Li, come to my office!"
