Chapter 16: Hurry
"This jar is a national treasure, right?" asked Li Jianguo in a low voice.
"It's very valuable!" Li Yiming nodded: "There is a small Yuan blue and white jar like this, the pattern is a picture of Guiguzi descending the mountain, and it was auctioned at the Xiangjiang auction for more than 100 million yuan after 20 years!"
More than a billion?
Li Jianguo gasped.
Li Yiming: "Twenty years later. ”
"I don't care if it's all state property in a few years, where is the thing now?
"It should be left behind the building!" Li Yiming was also very helpless, he had to sort out these things from those online stories, and sometimes he could only read along, he really didn't mean to be verbose.
"What?" Li Jianguo's eyes widened, it sounded like this was a rare treasure of the country, why was it lost in the back of the building?
Excavated in 80 years, now more than five years, more than five years after losing the building?
According to the story, this jar has been left here for seven years, and no one cares about it.
Until one day in 1987, an old man named Su Zhenfa found this jar when he took a walk after dinner, so he took it home, repaired the mouth of the jar with lime and planted a few evergreen plants, and then used it to fill corn seeds, and even rumored in H County that this jar was used as a urine jar.
"Who is such a loser this... This is simply a crime against the people!" Li Jianguo was so anxious that he was about to get angry, what kind of joke was that a national treasure of more than 100 million yuan was so badly degraded, and it was used as a urine tank, which was even more excessive than Liu Wencai's use of a golden toilet.
A broken family is worth 10,000 yuan, and this one can is worth 10,000 family property... What is the salary of ordinary workers now? Thirty or forty yuan.
"They haven't picked it up yet, and now... It was also left behind the building. Li Yiming hurriedly held him down.
“... This is also a crime!" Li Jianguo snorted heavily, looked for a cigarette and a match, and lit one, "There is no sense of responsibility at all." ”
"Dad, people don't know that this is a good thing, besides, there are a lot of good things that have been destroyed over the years, and this one is salvaged, and it has not been smashed. Li Yiming couldn't help but remind him.
Cough, Li Jianguo choked, his eyes were red, and he waved away the cigarette in front of him and was silent for a moment: "You go on." ”
"The story says so. Li Yiming sighed, "Because people don't know that this is a national treasure and don't know that it will be valuable, so it was thrown on the construction site after it was unearthed, and after the building was built, it was placed in a corner behind the training building." Then it was picked up, and a few years later, the state collected cultural relics, and it was recognized by experts and rated as a first-class cultural relic, and then twenty years later, another jar was auctioned for a sky-high price, and the story of this jar was reported... Well, it was written into the book, and now..."
Li Yiming looked at his father: "It was still left behind the building." ”
A Yuan blue and white jar with less than ten pieces in the world, worth more than 100 million, is still being blown by the wind and sun on the ground...
The incident that came out of his son's mouth was already bizarre beyond Li Jianguo's imagination, but fortunately, something more bizarre than this had happened before, and he also said that he would believe what Li Yiming said, no matter how absurd it sounded.
Li Jianguo is sure that Li Yiming can't make up such a story, because it is too detailed, not a certain place but a specific unit in a province and a county, all the time and place, and the names of specific people, this is not called a story, this is called news.
Although this "news" comes from those online articles in his son's head.
"Do you want to pick it up?" Li Jianguo is an adult after all, he thinks about more things, and he calms down quickly.
"That's right!" Li Yiming nodded, "Originally, it would be okay if we didn't go, according to common sense, it would be picked up in a year." But I don't think it's going to be that simple. ”
"Why isn't it simple?" Li Jianguo flicked his cigarette ash.
Li Yiming thought about it carefully and said in a low voice: "I think there should be something in that place, not only this one Yuan Qinghua, maybe the fragments are still on the side, if we go back to find it, it will be a complete instrument after repairing it in the future!"
I wanted to write a letter to the Forbidden City Museum, but it seems that the book says that they don't care for cultural relics, and there are thieves or something, and I can't believe them. ”
"So loose management?"
Li Yiming nodded: "It's said in the story." ”
"If you write letters, people won't go, just look at the postmark on your envelope and know that you are thousands of miles away, why do you instruct people to go there to pick up jars!"
However, Li Jianguo still had reservations about his son's current attitude that he couldn't trust anyone, and took out the map to look for a while: "H County... There are no trains in this place. ”
Ignoring the previous sentence, Li Yiming also leaned in to look at the map: "Dad, aren't you a buyer?"
"That's not something you can run casually, it's all on a mission... It takes at least five days to go once, and more than ten days to go back and forth. ”
Li Jianguo was a little embarrassed, he was a purchaser, but he was assigned by his superiors on business trips, and he was not a salesman, so he could be more free.
Would you like to ask if any of your friends in the area are helping you pick up this jar?
Li Jianguo's thoughts were dispelled as soon as he started, and it was only discovered two years later, it is really not easy to find someone now, communication is inconvenient and transportation is not convenient, people have to make at least a bunch of phone calls to pick up a jar, and it takes people three or five days, this kind of thing is troublesome enough to explain, do you have to tell your son's strange dream?
Can others believe it?
That's not his son!
Li Jianguo's fingers flickered, and before he knew it, the cigarette was almost at the end, and he put it into the ashtray casually: "Go back and think of a way, at most it will be a few days late, and the jar will not be moldy." ”
Li Yiming didn't bother too much about this matter: "Actually, it's a matter of money, when my manuscript fee comes down, Dad, you take me with you, we have a lot of places to go, I know a lot of this kind of thing..."
Li Jianguo waved his hand to interrupt him: "Needless to say, if you tell me if you are close, Dad will take you first, well, you can pick something like this, it will be a little troublesome to dig three feet into the ground." ”
Li Yiming was already very happy to have his father's support, and quickly nodded: "Oh, that's not in a hurry, but I don't have any paper now, and I have to write a lot of things tomorrow." Well, I also want an envelope and a postage stamp. ”
"Aren't stamps expensive in the future?"
"Not all stamps are expensive, things are scarce and expensive, anything is not worth much, except for knowledge, not only stamps, all tickets can be sold for money like cultural relics in the future, this is called collection, gold and antiques in troubled times.
And what else is misprinted, like money and stamps, the wrong one is worth more than the right one, just because there is less. Like a lot of ores in the ground, they are formed over millions of years, and when they are dug up, they are gone, and they are expensive, but now these things can't be sold, and we can collect a little bit when we have the opportunity in the future. But the main thing is that I have to find a way to get some foreign exchange, otherwise it will be inconvenient to do things. ”
"Change foreign exchange..."Li Jianguo nodded slightly, now the country is running out of foreign exchange.
"But the cultural relics are exchanged for foreign exchange, I don't think it should be, now that I have exchanged a little foreign exchange, I will have to buy it back with more money in the future,......," Li Yiming said softly, "So this matter... I don't have a hurry, I think I can use other ways to help the country earn foreign exchange, instead of selling cultural relics......"
Li Jianguo nodded slightly and exhaled softly.
The father and son finally reached a real reconciliation, Li Jianguo understood his son's heart and forgave his impulsiveness, and Li Yiming also trusted his loved ones.
Li Jianguo poured himself a glass of water, he was excited and sweating again just now, his mouth was thirsty, he drank two sips and looked up and suddenly asked: "That... Qigong is all a lie?"
"One counts as one, both. Li Yiming snorted, "Anyway, I see that now these masters have been proven to be liars later, and they are still teaching and charging tuition fees every day." ”
Li Jianguo smiled bitterly, there are too many people practicing qigong these years, hugging the clock, hugging the pine and hugging the cypress, breathing the vitality of heaven and earth, unlocking various postures, sitting on the third watch every night, I can't wait to develop a special function for myself immediately, but why is it said that qigong is deceiving, the son in front of me obviously has a special function... Doesn't it have anything to do with qigong?
That's right, I've never let my child practice qigong, and I don't know where this special function came from, I can only say that the world is really wonderful!
