Chapter 1352 Tattered Zhang

……

"Zhang Zhengwang!" Liu Dong repeated.

"Yes, people who know him call him rags, and he runs a scrap yard with a fairly large scale in Yanshi, and he can often get some old things in his hands, so many people who are in our line are willing to go to him to buy some old things to sell!"

After listening to Boss Qian's explanation, he nodded with a sense of flow.

Antiques, antiques, in the eyes of people who don't know the goods, he is indeed in tatters, just like those who were the first to make a fortune by trading antiques in Sijiu City, they were all in tatters at the beginning!

"Look at this door closed, is he at home?" Liu Dong said.

"It should be at home, and I usually come to him in the afternoon!" After the words fell, Boss Qian stepped forward and smashed the door, "Is anyone at home......?"

"Who?" Boss Qian shouted a few times in a row, and a slightly hoarse male voice came from inside.

"I, Lao Zhang, I'm the old money of Zheng*zhou Yuzhentang!"

"Boss Qian, wait a minute, I'll open the door for you!" Immediately, accompanied by the sound of footsteps from far and near, and the slightly harsh sound from the vibration of the iron door, from behind the two open doors, a middle-aged man wearing a blue coat, a slight beard, and a thin face came out.

After the man saw the situation outside the door, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and after quickly looking at Liu Dong and Shen Ning behind him, his eyes focused on Boss Qian who was standing at the front.

"Boss Qian, why do you have time to come to me?"

"Hehe, Lao Zhang, isn't this entrusted by someone?"

"Entrusted?"

"That's right!" After a pause, "this is not the place to talk, shall we go in and talk?"

"Okay!" After a slight hesitation, Zhang Zhengwang stepped aside. After watching Boss Qian and Liu Dong walk in, they closed the door.

After entering the door, Liu Dong briefly looked at the courtyard.

It is not messy as he imagined, but flowers and trees are all over the yard, which looks a little leisurely. It's not like a courtyard for ordinary people who collect rags, but like a place for literati to relax. This made him a little impressed.

It is often said. From the way a person dresses, you know his status and status. In the same way, a person's temperament can be understood from the circumstances of his life.

This can't help but make Liu Dong a little interested in the 'rags' in the mouth of this money boss.

Under the guidance of Zhang Zhengwang, several people entered the house, and after the guests and hosts were seated, Liu Dong briefly looked at the retro furnishings in the room, as well as the antiques and artworks placed on the Bogu shelf next to him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang also likes to collect?"

"Who is this......?"

"Oh, let me introduce, this is Mr. Liu from the capital. I also like to collect! This time, I came here to buy some more jade pieces with patterns!"

"Didn't I already tell you on the phone that I was gone here?" Zhang Zhengwang frowned.

"I know, but ......!"

"Let's talk about it!" After interrupting Boss Qian's words, Liu Dong looked directly at Zhang Zhengwang and said, "Mr. Zhang, I am personally very interested in these jade pieces, if you still have them in your hand, I am willing to buy them at a high price!"

"I'm a man who never lies. No is no more!" Zhang Zhengwang shook his head without hesitation.

"Then I'll take the liberty of asking another question! Where did Boss Zhang get these jade pieces from? I don't think this should be a difficult question to answer, right?" Liu Dong continued.

"Of course not, but I'm curious why Mr. Liu is so interested in these jade pieces. As far as I know, they're just pieces of broken jade with weird patterns. Although it may not have existed for a short time, the quality of the jade is too poor to have any collection value at all. ”

It can be heard that Zhang Zhengwang still has a certain amount of research on jade. He knew that in the current ancient jade market, it was not necessarily that ancient jade was worth more than new jade. The key depends on the material of the jade.

The value of new jade with good material is far greater than that of ancient jade with good craftsmanship but rough texture.

"Whether those ancient jades are collectible or not, this is a matter of the benevolent and the wise. Just like Mr. Zhang, doesn't he also have a soft spot for collecting ancient weapons? This can be regarded as an unpopular among all the current collection categories!" Liu Dong said with a smile after glancing at the swords placed on the Bogu shelf, as well as ancient weapons such as firearms.

"That's right!"

Zhang Zhengwang nodded.

There is a saying, "It's hard to buy a thousand dollars, I like it". That's what antique collecting is all about! Really those who like antique collecting will not hesitate to break the bank when they come across a favorite collection. This kind of thing may seem crazy in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of collectors, it is very common and commonplace.

"In that case, I wonder if Mr. Zhang can tell the truth?" asked Liu Dong.

Perhaps out of a kind of goodwill derived from the common interests and hobbies between collectors and collectors, Zhang Zhengwang glanced at Liu Dong and nodded: "Since Mr. Liu likes the collection of ancient jade so much, then I don't hide anything." I collected those jade pieces when I went to the countryside to 'shovel the ground'!"

"Shoveling the ground?...... I don't know what place it is?" Liu Dong then asked.

"It's in Zhangjiatan Village, Lianfeng Town!"

"Zhangjiatan Village, Lianfeng Town?"

"That's right!"

Liu Dong nodded knowingly, then stood up, "Thank you Mr. Zhang for telling the truth, we will leave!"

"You're welcome! It's not a big deal...... However, Mr. Liu is going to go to Lianfeng Town right away?"

"That's right! I'm here for those jade pieces. Now that I know the address where it appears, I naturally want to go immediately!" Liu Dong nodded.

"If Mr. Liu doesn't mind, why don't I go with you?" I believe that with me, an old horse, I can also help you find a place faster!"

"Go together?" Liu Dong looked surprised.

"Yes, isn't Mr. Liu welcome?"

"Hehe, of course not. With the help of a local like Mr. Zhang, I can't ask for help!" Liu Dong said with a smile.

No matter what idea Zhang Zhengwang has in his heart, he is prepared in his heart, and Liu Dong, who has the foundation of relics and yuanguang, will not care at all.

What he fancies, others can't take away.

After leaving Zhang's house, the team increased to four people, and Liu Dong's Land Rover was still sitting, and under the guidance of Zhang Zhengwang, he drove along the highway towards Yanshi Countryside.

About half an hour later, the Land Rover entered a quiet village surrounded by greenery.

According to Liu Dong's original intention, as long as he knew the approximate origin of these jade pieces, he would use the search range of 13 kilometers radius of the relics to find the true origin of these jade pieces. However, if he can pinpoint the farmer's land, he is also willing to save some trouble!

Therefore, Liu Dong later found out that it was really a correct choice to bring Zhang Zhengwang.

With his acquaintance coming forward, it was relatively easy to win the trust of the farmer surnamed Zhao who dug up the jade pieces from his own land. Although this person did not have the jade pieces that Liu Dong needed at home, at his request, the farmer surnamed Zhao still took Liu Dong to his own land.

After looking at the surrounding environment, Liu Dong pointed to the clear mountain shadow in the distance and said, "What kind of mountain is that?"

"Shouyang Mountain, if Mr. Liu is interested, we can go over and have a tour!" Zhang Zhengwang said with a smile.

"If I have something to gain today, I am still a little interested, but now I ......!" Liu Dong shook his head and lowered his head slightly.

People who don't know see his actions at this moment, but I'm afraid they will believe his words. Only Liu Dong knew in his heart that he was suppressing the strong joy in his heart.

"Antique collecting is not a business, and when the opportunity comes, it will naturally be rewarding. If you don't have the opportunity, you won't necessarily get something from your efforts!

"Mr. Zhang is right!" After nodding, Liu Dong turned around and greeted, "It's not too early now, let's go...... It just so happened that I invited the two of you to dinner tonight, and by the way, thank you for your help today!"

"Well said!"

"Hehe, Mr. Liu is too polite!"

After Zhang Zhengwang and Boss Qian said a few polite words, they agreed one after another. Liu Dong is a high-roller in the industry, they are never stingy to get acquainted!

Finally, after glancing at the green wheat waves in the fields in the distance from the car window, Liu Dong instructed Shen Ning to drive and returned to Yanshi County again.

After finding a local high-end restaurant to entertain Zhang Zhengwang and Boss Qian, Liu Dong booked three rooms by the way, one for Shen Ning, one for Boss Qian who couldn't meet Zheng *zhou after night, and the last one for himself.

The nightlife of Yanshi on a spring night is far less colorful than that in the big cities, and after ten o'clock, there are few people on the streets. But at this moment, Liu Dong was standing in front of the window with his arms crossed, his brows furrowed tightly, his eyes looking in the direction of Zhangjiatan Village, and his face showed a strong look of struggle.

It stands to reason that he should have been happy after making a great discovery. But in fact, Liu Dong was not only happy at the moment, but full of hesitation.

Through the relics of Yuanguang, Liu Dong basically determined that a large number of works of art were indeed buried underground in the farmland of the farmer surnamed Zhao in Zhangjiatan Village, and even underground in a radius of dozens of miles around. If Liu Dong is not mistaken, that is the real place of the ancient capital of the Xia Dynasty.

Its scale is at least four times larger than the current Erlitou cultural site.

What's more, there are at least 10,000 pieces of the kind of 'jade plate text' that Liu Dong saw! There are countless other works of art such as stoneware, pottery, jade, bronze, bone and horn ware, and mussel ware.

It is precisely because of such a wealth of funerary goods, and if this large-scale 'Shenyun' site is discovered, it will be of great or unique historical significance to ancient Chinese history, but Liu Dong is hesitant in his heart.

He asked himself if he was not a good person, especially because of his greed for ancient art, but at this moment he could not really make up his mind to monopolize this precious historical site. (To be continued.) )
