It's already past noon in the Grand View Garden, and before I came out, I said that I wouldn't go back to Baylor Mansion for lunch, this Grand View Garden still has a place to eat, a tourist attraction, if even this is not matched, then I can still keep people.

Then it was fun, Zhang Nan actually found that he would still use food stamps for eating in restaurants in the capital, because the manager of this state-run restaurant politely asked if there were food stamps.

If not, it's okay, this is a high-end restaurant, the mechanism is flexible, and there is no need for guests who can't get food stamps to eat only food without food.

It turned out to be even more fun: Jiang Aihua's driver, Lao Liu, took out a stack of food stamps directly from his pocket!

Well, the capital does not use food stamps at all, it is still a matter from May 1, 93, in his last life, Zhang Nan did not do less when he was on a business trip, bringing the national food stamps that were no longer used from the south to the capital to sell, and making some money by the way.

After eating, they left and parted ways, but Chen Xiaodong, who followed him, made a phone call to the unit and went to the construction site opposite: he is also a person who deals with cultural relics, and he knows a little bit about this "field archaeology" method.

That old Liang led people to stare at a group of migrant workers cleaning up the mud pit, and there was not much to do, but he was worried that something was missing, so he took the initiative to ask to look at it.

No problem, it's better to have someone who knows how to take care of it there.

……

At nearly four o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Aihua drove his second brother's family over.

This is to eat at someone's house, this is still a great reputation in the capital, and in the last year or two, it is rumored that there are a bunch of Baylor Mansions, so I have to leave some time to take a look.

The guest wants to visit the house, which is a very face-saving thing for the host, and Zhang Nan will certainly not refuse.

The dinner will take more than an hour, as a landlord, Zhang Nan first took Jiang Aiguo's family to visit the former Qing Baylor Mansion, which has been completely restored and many buildings have been modernized.

Jiang Aiguo has been to many government agencies and units that use Qing Dynasty palaces as office spaces, but the completely restored Baylor Mansion is not the same as those courtyards that only have an empty shell left.

Not to mention anything else, the various furnishings here alone are basically antiques of the Ming and Qing dynasties, which is no longer a question of how much it is worth, it is simply a shrunken Palace Museum!

Any vase decoration is the former three Qing Dynasty official kilns, and they are embarrassed to take it out to meet people later; as soon as they sit down, they may be the circle chair of Huanghuali in the Ming Dynasty, and an inconspicuous painting on the wall is the four great talents of the Jiangnan in the Ming Dynasty...

At five o'clock, the clock will swing down, and then go to the heated restaurant to rest first: the temperature will cool down in the evening, and the second half of the night will be around freezing, where there are not only hard-padded Qing Dynasty mahogany chairs, but also comfortable imported sofas.

As soon as he sat down, Jiang Aiguo took the child to the bathroom, Zhang Nan took a picture of the chair he was sitting on for dinner, and joked with Jiang Aihua who was sitting on the sofa: "The chair is a little worse, and I can't get a complete set of red sandalwood, but there is good news."

In the afternoon, I called, and the small leaf red sandalwood that can be used to make furniture is only 10,000 US dollars a ton on Ah San's side.

We don't need the old red sandalwood in the place where we want to use red sandalwood furniture in the Grand View Garden, Qianlong alone almost used up the imported small leaf red sandalwood, and when Cixi's 60th birthday is all used up, there is no left, there will be not much on the market at all.

With new materials, there should be a lot of masters who can create furniture in full accordance with the old craftsmanship in those old state-owned furniture factories in the capital, and when the whole set of design renderings comes out, they will be entrusted to process, and the labor cost is not a problem. ”

When Jiang Aihua heard this, he didn't even drink the tea, "Brother Nan, do you have a way?"

I want to get some red sandalwood to make a set of furniture, but it's not a matter of price, Ah San is now strictly controlling the export of small leaf red sandalwood, and the Myanmar side lacks some taste. ”

Old habits, the Chinese people have always thought that the small-leaved red sandalwood produced in India is a little better than that of Myanmar, as for whether it is true and what the reason is, Zhang Nan doesn't know, who makes him not know much about wood.

It is true that Ah San strictly controls the export of small leaf red sandalwood, and it will become stricter and stricter, otherwise the chairman of Asia's largest electroacoustic company who likes red sandalwood that Zhang Nan knew in his previous life would not have hollowed out his mind and came up with a way to see the red sandalwood material sawn into wooden planks and made into packing boxes for import.

"I have a friend, a prince in India, and a few diamond businesses, so it's no problem to do this. ”

Well, hearing this, Jiang Aihua laughed, he just forgot about Zhang Nan's influence abroad.

"Then I'll get a ton or two. ”

"No problem. ”

In the afternoon, Zhang Nan really made a few phone calls to ask about the red sandalwood, the year before last, the Chinese imported small leaf red sandalwood was about more than 20,000 yuan a ton, and now the export price in India is 10,000 US dollars and 0 points.

Wait until 20 years later, around 2010, the import price of large materials that can be made into furniture will start at least one or two million yuan a ton, and the larger the specifications, the more expensive they are, almost a price increase!

And this is not a matter of money, because the policy of restricting exports in the country of origin of red sandalwood will become stricter and stricter, and in a few years there will be almost no big new materials in the Chinese market.

Difficult!

Trouble!

As for why Zhang Nan, a guy who doesn't understand wood, knows this, isn't there the chairman who smuggled the "packing boxes", and he listened to what that person said.

Before the meal was eaten, Jiang Aihua answered a phone call, it was Chen Xiaodong calling.

After half a day's hard work, the pile of silt was basically cleaned up: after removing the useless silt in the upper layer, the lower layer of silt was dug up with a bucket and put into several wood-framed iron mesh screens for screening sand and gravel, and then washed with water.

It's fast, and there's basically nothing missing.

Zhang Nan also took the phone and asked about the situation, and Chen Xiaodong, who was on the other end of the phone, said: "... There are about 4,000 pieces of Dading Tongbao, about 150 pieces of Taihe heavy treasure, and about 70 pieces of Daguan Tongbao.

Brother Nan, almost all the common layouts of these three kinds of money are available here, especially Dading Tongbao, which has 10 layouts.

There are also Kaiyuan Tongbao and Shuntian Yuanbao of the Tang Dynasty, Zhou Yuantongbao of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Chunhua Yuanbao, Zhidao Yuanbao, Xianping Yuanbao, Jingde Yuanbao of the Northern Song Dynasty... The Northern Song Dynasty is almost complete.

In addition to money, there are also a few cultural relics of Song Jin, which are relatively ordinary.

There is a 'contract seal', which should be from the Jin Dynasty. The popular double-phoenix bronze mirror in Liaojin and the bronze mirror with the handle of the Song Dynasty each side, as well as an old iron whip...

That's right, in ancient times, there was a kind of war that knocked people's heads, there was one meter and three lengths, and it was very heavy, anyway, I couldn't play with this head.

There's also a copper ball, a rotten iron knife or something, but it's useless. ”

After Chen Xiaodong finished speaking, Zhang Nan didn't want anything else, let him send the iron whip over to take a look, and come to catch up with half the dinner by the way.

As for other things, this Jiang Aihua loves it, anyway, Zhang Nan has no appetite.
