When night falls, the antique shops on Dongcheng Street are brightly lit, and there are more people than during the day, and from time to time I see people carrying bags coming out of the shops - obviously buying something, it is the best time of the day for business on Dongcheng Street, and most of the people who enter and leave the shops are white-collar workers in suits and leather shoes, or businessmen with big bellies, who are willing to spend money.

Unlike other shops, although the door of Bao Rong Zhai is open, the lights are not on.

In the dark, Jiang Hua sat on the sofa and hadn't moved for a long time.

After Zhao Tie left, Jiang Hua went to the website of the Tokyo Museum of the island country to check the news of "The Thirteen Journeys of the Orchid Pavilion", and the previous Hongshan Jade Dragon "ended", and he didn't find a word at all.

"Could it be...... What Zhao Tie said is true...... The Tokyo Museum doesn't have a collection of "Orchid Pavilion Prologue"? ”

In the past 150 years, in the past 150 years, more than one million pieces of antique cultural relics have been lost abroad in China due to wars, looting, tomb robbing, etc., which are collected in more than 200 museums in 47 countries, and there is no way to count private collections.

Every time Jiang Hua saw those cultural relics belonging to China in foreign museums, his heart hurt as if there was a knife twisting, but he was helpless.

The Red Mountain Jade Dragon and "The Thirteen Treks of the Orchid Pavilion" are exactly like this, so they are deeply impressed.

It's just that, as if in this world, things are a little different.

The Red Mountain Jade Dragon is collected in the British Empire Museum, and the Orchid Pavilion Thirteen Journeys are collected in the Tokyo Museum of the Island Country, both of which are publicly exhibited collections, and now they have not been able to find their information on the website, which means that in this world, the Red Mountain Jade Dragon and the Orchid Pavilion Thirteen Journeys are not collected by museums in other countries. If this is true, are there any other antiques that have been lost like them?

If so, what antiques would they be? Where are they?

"What if there is? Isn't it? ”

Jiang Hua suddenly smiled bitterly, unless he could find them one by one, how could he prove that they were not in other countries' museums or private collections? At the same time, you have to buy them, or you may still be bought by someone else and end up in the hands of museums or private collectors in other countries, do you have so much money?

"Hey! Don't think about so many things that you don't have, let's see if the "Orchid Pavilion Preface Thirteen Trek" is real. ”

Jiang Hua rubbed his temples vigorously and decided not to think about this matter for now.

Turning on the lights in the store, he took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and found that it was almost ten o'clock, and he hadn't eaten for most of the day, and his stomach was already hungry and "cooing", so he quickly found a bag of biscuits and started eating, and Zhao Tie would come after a while.

Sure enough, before he had time to fill his stomach, a car stopped at the door of the store, and then Zhao Tie's voice of greeting loudly came, Jiang Hua had to put down the biscuits, picked up the cold tea and poured a few sips before locking the door of the store and walking over.

"Bang bang bang!"

Jiang Hua kicked the wheels a few times, speaking of which, this world is really not much different from the world he was familiar with, and Sao Bao's car is still a BMW Mercedes-Benz.

"Good mix! 7 Series! The cheapest has to go up to 700,000. ”

got into the car, Jiang Hua touched here and there, a hillbilly look.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Zhao Tie said while driving the car, "Jiang Hua, how about I find someone to buy your two bottles?" The price, at least I can exchange my car for fifty cars, I can't sell it at this price, how much I will pay you for the shortage. ”

"! Don't even think about it, that's my wife, who only sold it when she got married, and the car and house all depend on those two bottles. ”

Jiang Hua's eyes widened, Zhao Tie was talking about a pair of Qing Qianlong enamel Fulu Shou bottles in his hand, Zhao Tie had already targeted it before his soul crossed, it was a really good thing, how could he shoot casually?

"Anyway, if you want to sell it one day, remember to look for me, I will definitely sell it to you at a good price, commission, I will find the person who buys it."

Zhao Tie was driving the car, chatting with Jiang Hua with a ride, they were all people who ate antiques, and the topic was naturally inseparable from this.

In Ninghua City, Tianming District is a new area that has developed in the past decade - the financial center, and it has a pivotal position in the whole city, and the biggest thing to look for is the countless office buildings towering.

When night falls, the office building is brightly lit, and from a distance, it looks like a lightsaber reaching the sky, which is very spectacular.

"Huh? Is there a small area like this? ”

After Zhao Tie's car slowed down, Jiang Hua looked forward and found that he had arrived at the entrance of a community, twenty meters wide, and there was a big tree on the left and right that was hugged by two people, like a giant umbrella.

In a place like Tianming District, every inch of land is expensive, not to mention anything else, just the place at the gate of this community is enough to build an office building, which is really too domineering.

Zhao Tie pouted and said, "What's so strange about this?" There are a lot of people in the world who are either rich or expensive, isn't it just a better place, and it is not a problem for them at all. ”

Jiang Hua nodded silently, Zhao Tie was not wrong, this is the case, the rapid development of China's economy in the past thirty years has created countless rich people, no matter how expensive things are, people can afford them.

"My goal in life is to buy a villa here one day."

Zhao Tie drove into the community, "Come here, even if you drive my newly bought car, it's a little embarrassing." ”

Villa?

Is this a villa complex?

Jiang Hua looked forward, and was a little frightened, the terrain in the community is near and low, far and high, all of them are three-story and five-story villas, under the light, like yachts on the ocean, very shocking.

"Zhao Tie, this matter ...... Something wasn't quite right. ”

Jiang Hua's brows furrowed slightly, the people who live here are either rich or expensive, and will they be reduced to the point of selling family heirlooms?

Zhao Tie nodded and said, "I understand what you mean, but those who do our business, the ones they encounter the most are the broken families, besides, as long as the things are right, don't worry about anything else." ”

"Well, you're right."

Jiang Hua nodded lightly, as long as the thing is right, it doesn't matter if it's a game or not.

What about the people who live here, no matter how rich they are? One generation is not as good as the one generation is more, in a sense, such a place is more likely to receive good things, you must know that antiques, especially good antiques, are in the hands of rich people, if it is not broken, how can it be possible to take things out and sell?

The car stopped in front of a villa in the back, Zhao Tie was not polite, and after getting out of the car, he directly "banged" the locked door.

Jiang Hua stood aside and watched silently.

Those who can afford to live in such villas are either rich or expensive, how can anyone dare to knock on the door like this in ordinary times?

Broken down, even if it's a fiber puller, it doesn't take it seriously.

After a while, someone came out of it, and Zhao Tie shouted as soon as he saw it, "Little Liu, you kid has arrived early." ”

Song Liu glanced at the BMW parked on the side, with an envious expression on his face, and said, "Brother Zhao, when will I be able to afford to drive such a car." ”

"! Don't pretend to be poor, you just negotiated a matter a few days ago, and you charged 1 million in commissions alone, don't think I don't know, what car do you want to buy? ”

Zhao Tie had a smile on his face, but he had a different taste in his heart.

Song Liu, like himself, was pulling fiber on Dongcheng Street and in the antique circle of Ninghua City, but he had only been working for half a year, but he had already threatened himself.

"This ...... Eat with a mouthful, how can you compare with Brother Zhao. ”

Song Liu's face was a little ugly,

Zhao Tie knew that it was not strange that he had recently negotiated a deal, after all, the other party was an old man in the circle and was well-informed. However, the parties to the transaction and the specific transaction amount, including the commission commission, are confidential, and only the parties know that now their old bottom has been lifted.

"Hah!"

Zhao Tie stretched out his hand and patted Song Liu's shoulder gently, "Let's go, let's go in and take a look at things, it's not too early." ”

"Hehehe, okay, okay."

Song Liu smiled reluctantly, turned around and walked inside.

Jiang Hua followed behind and didn't speak, Zhao Tie and Song Liu were both masters of fiber pulling, but they were not the same kind of people. Zhao Tie belongs to the "old school", and does things according to the old rules inherited from the antique industry.

Song Liu is another style, modern, flexible, can get things done, to put it mildly, in fact, in order to facilitate transactions, get more commissions, dare to use any means.

The antique market is very hot, there are many people who grab, and the emphasis is on selling high and being able to buy, and the rest are floating clouds.

People like Zhao Tie who talk about the old rules are a little unsuitable for the times, but on the contrary, people like Song Liu are very popular.

According to the rules of the circle, Zhao Tie couldn't say it even if he knew how much commission Song Liu had received, let alone say it in front of Song Liu, now he was forced to be a little anxious, and the meaning of the words was that Song Liu, you kid, your Taoism is not enough, I know every move, you have no problem mixing your food, but don't fight with me, don't provoke me - it's just that as soon as he said this, he fell down, revealing his lack of confidence.
