In an office in Shanghai, Qin Mingdao is drinking tea and reading the newspaper, this is one of his jobs, don't think that reading the newspaper is playing, he is reading the official newspaper in Beijing, this is actually an important channel to understand the national policy, including the evening news broadcast is the same, once the focus is on describing a thing or an industry, it will inevitably indicate that the policy will be inclined to this aspect in the future.

"Knock knock......" There was a knock on the door.

"Come in. Qin Mingdao put away the newspaper and put down the teacup.

The person who came was his assistant Xiao Wang, who walked in and said: "Director Qin, I just received a call from Zhao Changqing, the manager of the cultural relics store on Xiafei Road, and they came to a rich Chinese overseas who bought $100,000 of antiques at one time, and almost emptied the inner room!"

"$100,000?" Qin Mingdao's originally leisurely expression immediately became serious, and asked, "Have you already made a deal?"

"The transaction was made, and the store manager followed the foreign businessman's car and went to the bank in person to exchange the foreign exchange coupons. Assistant Xiao Wang said.

Qin Mingdao smiled and said, "This Zhao Changqing is lucky, he actually caught such a big fish. ”

$100,000, which was a huge amount of money at the time, in those days, except for some state-owned factories and large friendship stores, there were really not many institutions that could earn more than $100,000 a year, and it had become a national policy for all departments of the country to earn foreign exchange together, and even the education department was involved to persuade the parents of the school children to encourage them to remit foreign exchange if they had any relatives overseas.

Xiao Wang continued: "There is another piece of information, this rich man also intends to continue to buy a large number of rare antiques, this matter is too big, then Zhao Changqing didn't dare to agree, so he reported it to me." ”

"Do you want to continue to buy?" Qin Mingdao was stunned for a moment and asked, "This person is a cultural relics dealer?"

Xiao Wang said: "It shouldn't be, the other party also hopes that we can arrange a few professionals to go to Xiangjiang to take care of these antiques for him, it seems that he should be a collector." ”

"It's kind of interesting to be willing to spend so much just to collect. Qin Mingdao smiled and said, "Do you know what this person's name is?"

Xiao Wang said: "I only know his surname Xu, and I don't know other information." ”

"The surname is Xu!" Qin Mingdao's face changed, and he suddenly remembered the information he was told at the wine table two days ago, and hurriedly asked: "You call back now and ask, has the other party left any information, such as where to live?" Don't ask why, go now!"

"Okay, I'll go at once. As an assistant, Xiao Wang immediately turned his head and left.

......

"Thank you, Secretary Wang. In the Peace Hotel, Qin Mingdao thanked Wang Weide.

Wang Weide said: "Director Qin is polite, please come inside." ”

Qin Mingdao already knew Xu Zhi's identity, so he naturally wanted to contact him personally, if in normal times, although he was a bureau chief, it was difficult to directly contact the super-rich overseas, and now Xu Zhi intends to acquire antiques for a long time, so he naturally has a reason to contact.

Qin Mingdao was wearing an army green coat, tall and slightly fat, looking very strong, just walked into the living room of Xu Zhi's hotel suite, he walked over and shook hands politely: "Hello, Mr. Xu, I am Qin Mingdao, director of the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Culture." ”

"Hello, please be seated. Xu Zhi smiled and said, "It's just that I bought some antiques, but I didn't expect to alarm Director Qin." ”

"Where, Mr. Xu's purchase of our cultural relics is also a contribution to the country, and we are too late to be grateful. Qin Mingdao smiled and said, in his opinion, being able to exchange for foreign exchange is the greatest contribution.

Xu Zhi said: "Then I don't know what I asked before, what does Director Qin think?"

"This is naturally not a problem, as long as it is not a national-level antique, Mr. Xu can buy it at will, there is no limit on the quantity, and we can also provide door-to-door delivery service to deliver the goods directly to Xiangjiang. Qin Mingdao said with a heroic smile, just on the bright side, there are many cultural relics owned by the Shanghai Municipal Government, dozens of museums, countless cultural relics shops, even if the other party will choose, but it is easy to sell millions of dollars.

Not to mention how many antique collections there are in the whole people, or other provincial cities, this amount is even more astronomical, as long as you reach a deal with the super-rich in front of you, then you can buy it from other provinces or citizens in RMB, and then sell it in dollars, it doesn't matter how much money you make in the middle of the process, the important thing is to be able to get a lot of foreign exchange, which is a great credit.

The current policy is that foreign exchange comes first, and foreign exchange is needed for national development, and foreign exchange is needed for the purchase of industrial products, weapons, technology, and grain, which is generally the credit of large-scale factories and resource exports, but now a cultural bureau can earn millions or even more dollars, can it not be fragrant?

"Okay, then let's settle it like this, money is not a problem, as long as it is genuine. Xu Zhi continued, this antique is also divided into grades, the highest level of which is the national treasure level antique, these are objects related to well-known historical figures, or contain some important historical event information.

For example, some important decrees of the ancient emperors, jade seals, or some bronzes, chariots, horses, iron horses, etc., even in this era, are not allowed to be traded, let alone spoken, Xu Zhi never thought of getting involved in this kind of antique.

"No problem, thank you Mr. Xu for contributing to the development of the country. Qin Mingdao said very officially, he knew the details of the other party, the youngest super-rich man in history, worth more than a billion US dollars, and this amount of money to buy antiques is only a drop in the bucket.

Xu Zhi smiled and said, "I am also honored to be able to contribute to the development of the country. In addition, there is another thing, I hope to select some professionals from China who know how to preserve cultural relics to work in Xiangjiang, and I hope that Director Qin can arrange it, and the treatment is definitely not a problem. ”

In fact, there are some antiques professionals in Hong Kong, but they are basically big names in the industry, working in auctions and appraising antiques for some wealthy people, so that they can calm down and maintain a large number of antiques for a long time, but they may not be willing. Moreover, it is far inferior to the mainland in terms of quantity, and even less than professionals in the mainland in terms of quality, so it is the best choice to invite people from the mainland to go.

Qin Mingdao readily agreed: "No problem, I will definitely arrange a few masters with the best skills in Shanghai." ”

"Forget it, master. Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Find some experienced middle-aged people, it's best to go to Xiangjiang in several batches in turn." ”

"Okay, listen to Mr. Xu. Qin Mingdao thought about it, the master has good skills, but after all, his physical strength can't keep up.

Xu Zhi smiled, and suddenly asked, "Director Qin, the Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio is also under the management of your department, right?"
