Chapter 648 Mysterious Map

……

"Then do you understand all these words?" Lin Ling said curiously.

"I can understand it, but I haven't heard of many of the place names on it!" Liu Dong frowned.

And many of the place names marked on it are obviously before the Tang Dynasty, and they have long been changed by now, if it weren't for the relics Yuanguang, Liu Dong's memory is outstanding, and he has learned more and more knowledge in all aspects, I'm afraid I really don't know.

However, there are more than 20 place names marked on this map, Liu Dong has never even heard of them, and he even wonders if these places have really appeared in China!

"Xiaodong, this map doesn't seem to be complete, these two sides have been torn off!" Lin Ling said in surprise after looking at it for a while.

After nodding, Liu Dong's eyes flashed, and his right hand stretched out behind his back, avoiding Lin Ling's sight, and the silk book map that he had originally obtained from the nine-fingered master in the stone cave under the Baizhang Cliff in his hometown was taken out by Liu Dong.

He didn't think about it just now, but as soon as Lin Ling reminded him, Liu Dong immediately remembered that the earliest silk book map he got was the same as the map in front of him, with traces of tearing on both sides, and the size and material were the same.

It's just that the content is very different.

"Xiaodong, do you still have a map?" When Liu Dong put the silk book map in his hand on the table, it immediately attracted Lin Ling's attention.

And in curiosity, I didn't pay much attention to how this map was taken out by Liu Dong.

"Yes, when I went home last time for the Chinese New Year, I picked it up in my hometown, and you see if these two maps can match!"

Hearing this, Lin Ling hurriedly spread the two maps on the table. As a result, the fractures of the two maps match very well. Apparently they were supposed to be one!

But it's clear. Together, these two silk maps are only half of a complete map, and the remaining half is not known where!

"Xiaodong, is the text on this half of the map a small seal?" Lin Ling said curiously after looking at the map that Liu Dong took out.

"That's right! I didn't expect Sister Ling to be so knowledgeable, and she actually knew Xiao Zhen!" Liu Dong said.

Lin Ling blushed, "I only saw it in history textbooks when I was in school, and I don't know what they mean!"

Perhaps because of a slight embarrassment, Lin Ling hurriedly changed the topic. "Why is this a map, but the text is different?"

Liu Dong frowned, thought for a while, and said, "It should be that the person who drew this map is hiding something? But I don't know what it is, and there are no valuable clues on these two maps at all!"

"Could it be a treasure!" Lin Ling said with great interest.

"I didn't expect Sister Ling to be so wealthy, but maybe it's really true!" Liu Dong said with a smile.

"Hmph!" After glancing at Liu Dong angrily, Lin Ling looked at the two maps, and said with a hint of longing in her tone, "When I was in school in Canada, my favorite thing to watch was Indiana Jones's "Raiders of the Lost Ark". What if this is a treasure map, what do you think of the treasure hunt when the time comes?"

Seeing Lin Ling's fascinated appearance. Liu Dong shook his head secretly in his heart, he had always heard that women were more curious than men, and he had never believed it, but now looking at Lin Ling's expression, she completely believed it!

"Let's wait until we get the whole map together!" As he spoke, Liu Dong suddenly stretched out his hand and picked up Lin Ling's soft delicate body.

"Oh, what are you doing, let me down!"

"Hehe, I'll let you down soon!"

As he spoke, Liu Dong had already picked up Lin Ling and ran towards the bedroom.

And at the moment when Liu Dong went out, the two maps placed on the table had already been received by him into the mustard seed space.

……

Originally, Liu Dong wanted to continue to stay in the capital for a few days until the end of the spring auction of Puhua Red Star before leaving, but after receiving a call from Chen Xiang unexpectedly, he left Lin Ling to check the company's government affairs by himself.

At 10 a.m. on May 14, Liu Dong's plane had arrived at Zhengzhou-Zhou Airport.

"Boss!"

Looking at Liu Dong, who was only carrying a black backpack and walked out of the station, Chen Xiang hurriedly greeted him!

"Xiangzi, everything is done?" asked Liu Dong after getting into the car.

"Yes, boss, the antique shop has been negotiated, the personnel have been recruited according to your instructions, and I have also screened out more than a dozen candidates for the shopkeeper, the information has been prepared, please take a look at the boss!" As he spoke, Chen Xiang took out a thick stack of documents from his briefcase and handed it to Liu Dong.

After a simple flip, Liu Dong said, "Have you been in contact with all these people?"

"Only this person named Wang Jianguo I have contacted, this person is a very famous baggage in Zhengzhou-Zhou Antique City, when I just bought our Agarwood Pavilion Zheng-Zhou branch store, this person took the initiative to recommend himself, want to become the shopkeeper of our Agarwood Pavilion, you are not there, I don't dare to call the shots, so I just recorded his information!"

After nodding, Liu Dong continued: "Then how do you feel about him, is he suitable to be the shopkeeper of our Agarwood Pavilion?"

Hearing this, Chen Xiang glanced at Liu Dong, and his face showed a look of wanting to say something.

"It's okay, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

"Yes, boss, I feel that although this person is capable and experienced, there is an indescribable feeling in him!"

"Feel, what does it feel?" Liu Dong then asked.

"It's like those things that go wrong!" Chen Xiang said.

Fishing for the side door is tomb robbery in the antique shop, and it also includes swaggering and cheating, just like the gang Liu Dong met in the stilted building last time in Yibin!

"You mean he's got his sights on us?" asked Liu Dong with a frown.

"I don't know yet, but we have just arrived in Agarwood Pavilion, and I believe that there must be a lot of ghosts, snakes, and gods from all walks of life in Zhengzhou Antique City who are interested in us, maybe this Wang Jianguo is just a pawn who has been pushed across the river!" Chen Xiang twisted his eyebrows and thought.

After listening to it and glancing at him, Liu Dong smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, Chen Xiang, it seems that Uncle Li and Uncle Zhong have not taught you in vain, and now you can take charge of it yourself!"

"The boss has won the award, I am still far from the two old men, and there is still a lot to learn!" Chen Xiang said modestly.

"Okay, don't be polite with me, when the Zhengzhou branch of Agarwood Pavilion is on the right track, you will go to the capital to find Li Lao!"

"Go to the capital to find Old Man Li?" Chen Xiang said in surprise.

"That's right, I have asked Mr. Li to open our Agarwood Pavilion Beijing Branch, and let Mr. Li take you for two years, and when you are familiar with the Beijing antique circle, the shopkeeper of the Agarwood Pavilion Capital Branch will be you!"

"I'm the shopkeeper?" After being surprised, Chen Xiang hurriedly said, "Young master, you don't have to think about it anymore, the capital is the largest antique market in China, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle this position!"

"Don't worry, isn't there still Elder Li watching from behind you!" patted the other party's shoulder, Liu Dong encouraged, "Okay Chen Xiang, don't be presumptuous, what your ability is, Uncle Zhong and I both know, when Zhengzhou's affairs are understood, you can go to the capital to take office, and strive to support the Agarwood Pavilion branch in the capital as soon as possible!"

Liu Dong's expectant gaze gave Chen Xiang great encouragement, "Thank you, boss, I will definitely work hard!"

"That's right...... By the way, Chen Xiang, how long will it take to get to the Antique City?"

"Boss, this is the way to the hotel, when you are rested, it is not too late for us to go to the antique city tomorrow!" Chen Xiang hurriedly said.

"Okay, it's only a two-hour flight from the capital to Zhengzhou, I'm not too tired, let's go, go directly to Zhengzhou Antique City, settle things early, and it's not too late to rest!"

Liu Dong is the big boss, so he naturally takes his words as the main thing, and soon the driver turned around under Chen Xiang's orders!

……

Zhengzhou Antique City was founded in 1997 and officially opened in February 1998. The antique city is a five-storey large shopping mall, including antiques, arts and crafts, collectibles and other business items. With more than 500 merchants, more than 1,000 employees, assets of 140 million yuan, 20,000 square meters of trading venues and ancillary facilities, it is one of the largest antique markets in China, second only to the famous Panjiayuan!

"I heard that this Zhengzhou Antique City was built with reference to the Sunset Tower, one of the eight famous buildings in the Tang Dynasty, and it looks quite like that, combining ancient and modern, and it looks very magnificent!" When Liu Dong stepped out of the car, he looked up at the five-story antique city nearly 30 meters high and said.

"'The willows and flowers are bright and sorrowful, and the city is more upstairs. If you want to ask where Gu Hong is going, I don't know my life experience. It's a pity that thousands of years have passed, and it is difficult to get a glimpse of the peerless style of Li Shangyin's Sunset Tower!" Liu Dong sighed and walked towards the gate on the side of the antique city.

"Boss, the first floor of the antique city is the jade and wood handicrafts business area, the second floor is mainly engaged in antique miscellaneous pieces, the third floor is calligraphy and painting art, the fourth floor is high-end Baiyu Street and Jade Street, and the fifth floor is the Yongchang Porcelain Village Exhibition Hall and the weekend flea market. The north side of the building belongs to the free trade area, specializing in calligraphy and painting mounting, large porcelain and rare books. Our Agarwood Pavilion branch is on the second floor!"

Listening to Chen Xiang's explanation, Liu Dong walked into the hall on the first floor of the antique city, looked at the bustling flow of people around him, and said with a little surprise: "I didn't expect there to be so many people?"

"Today is Saturday, so there are more people visiting the antique city, boss, please here!"

After nodding, Liu Dong followed Chen Xiang up to the second floor by elevator!

"Boss, the largest antique shop in the antique city is only 450 square meters, which can't meet your requirements, so I bought two adjacent ones, adding up to a total of 800 square meters!" Chen Xiang said.

"Hmm!" nodded, Liu Dong walked to the thick wall next to him and knocked lightly and said, "Such a thick wall should be a load-bearing wall, is it okay for us to get through?"

"I've already asked about the property, although this is strong, it is mainly from the safety aspect, and it does not bear the weight of the whole building, so after we beat it, it will not have much impact!"

"That's it!" (To be continued......)
