In fact, when Hong Quan called Mr. Gao, this person had already arrived here, after all, he was also engaged in antiques and an auction company, so it was normal to be interested in these things.

The two of them stopped the car and walked, Zhang Tianyuan said: "Brother Hong, just have Teacher Gao here, if you have something to do, hurry up and get busy first, this is a small matter for me, and you are a big matter, so you can't delay." ”

"No matter how anxious you are, don't be in a hurry, besides, do you know Teacher Gao, I'll introduce you to you." Hong Quan patted Zhang Tianyuan on the shoulder, and then walked straight to where Teacher Gao was.

"Teacher Gao, you came early, are you here early in the morning?"

Teacher Gao was standing at the intersection at this time, perhaps because of the cold weather, while waiting for someone, he kept shaking his legs, his hands in his pockets, and his mouth made a sucking sound, and the breath exhaled from his mouth could be seen clearly.

"Boss, why are you here in person, this kind of small matter, it's okay to have me, you have your own big business, why did you come here, isn't this a delay?"

Although Mr. Gao saw Zhang Tianyuan on the side, he only bowed his head slightly, and didn't take it seriously, after all, there are many people who come to Hongquan every day and ask Hongquan for help, where can he take care of so many people. In fact, this teacher Gao is only forty years old at most, wearing a pair of glasses and a tunic suit, and looks like a cultural person.

This person has been playing antiques since he was a child, but he is not engaged in collection, but specializes in auctions and appraisals, and he is also well-known in the circle, especially in the imperial capital. Anyone who has been to an auction house should have heard of Mr. Gao. Zhang Tianyuan had also heard of it. It's just that I've never met.

Actually, Hong Quan is after making a big profit. is still relatively modest, knowing that he is still young after all, and he has not seen many things, so he specially hired a few experts at a high price to support his façade, one of them is Mr. Gao, I have to say, his idea is really right, with these experts in charge, his auction company is becoming more and more prosperous day by day. The professional is professional, which is different from his half-way.

If you talk about the identification of antiques, I am afraid that Hongquan is still inferior to Mr. Gao, but this Mr. Gao has a problem, that is, he is easy to get excited, and when he is excited, he is easy to see the wrong thing, because of this temper, he has also suffered several losses. Fortunately, he didn't cause much damage, otherwise it is estimated that he would not be able to continue working in Hongquan's auction company.

"Teacher Gao, this is Nie Gongzi's friend, do you think I can not accompany you? It's just that there is a real urgency in the company today. I'll have to deal with it. You have to help me take good care of Brother Zhang, pick a few good things for him, and Nie Gongzi will definitely be rewarded. If you make the wrong choice, you will not be happy. Don't want the money. Hong Quan spoke very clearly, and his tone was unquestionable. The reason why he found Teacher Gao was to avoid being fooled, if he was still fooled, wouldn't it be in vain?

"Boss, don't worry, leave this matter to me, Nie Gongzi's friend, then I must take good care of it, you can rest assured, there will be no mistakes." It's a cold day, so let's get in the car quickly. As he spoke, a white Audi Lexus had already driven over, which was Hongquan's other car, and the one sitting in it was naturally Hongquan's driver.

Hong Quan smiled, called Zhang Tianyuan aside, and then explained a few words in private: "Brother Zhang, on this cold day, Teacher Gao didn't have to go to work, and he came with you, you can't let him work in vain, give some money appropriately, and talk well when you meet in the future, and you can be friends, how much is it, it's just a little hard work, you can just watch it yourself." ”

Teacher Gao is very shrewd, seeing that Hong Quan called Zhang Tianyuan to the side and whispered, he probably knew what they were talking about, this is also a peace of mind, it's not that he likes money, after all, he made a lot of money last time on TV shows, this time even if he helps friends, he doesn't want too much, at least there should be this hard work, it's so cold, no one wants to run in vain.

"Brother Hong, how much do you think is appropriate?" Zhang Tianyuan didn't want to pay this money, not that he was stingy, mainly because he really didn't need help from others, but after thinking about it, he was not very familiar with this place, and Mr. Gao was obviously very familiar with it, and an acquaintance estimated that it would be easy to do things later, so why not give some money, and he was not a miser.

"One or twenty thousand is enough, it doesn't take too much, if he does it well, I will be rewarded when I go back, so Brother Zhang, you don't have to spend too much." Hong Quan thought for a moment.

"One hundred or twenty thousand!" Zhang Tianyuan was shocked, this is really easy to make money, or there is an old saying that there is a golden house in the book, this knowledge is really money.

I thought a lot in my heart, but he still nodded, let's see later, if this teacher Gao really has the ability, he is willing to give one or two hundred thousand yuan for hard work, after all, people can be regarded as accompanying him.

"Okay, that's it, Brother Zhang, we will be friends in the future, I have time to call my brother, you're welcome. Mr. Gao, I'll go back to the company first, you must remember my words, help Brother Zhang take care of it, don't make any mistakes, otherwise I will be unhappy. ”

Hong Quan first took a business card for Zhang Tianyuan, and then specially told Mr. Gao a few words when he got into the car, and it can be seen that because he has a good impression of Zhang Tianyuan, he can't stay and help by himself, but in other things, he is still meticulous.

Zhang Tianyuan and Teacher Gao watched Hong Quan's car leave, and then briefly introduced each other.

"Mr. Zhang, this alley is too narrow, the car can't go in, you just park the car outside, let's walk in, in fact, the location is not far away, and it will take more than ten minutes to walk." Teacher Gao said to Zhang Tianyuan with a smile.

The alley here is no better than the new street outside, it can be said that it is very small, an alley can accommodate a small car passing by, the key alley is still long, in case you meet the opposite car in the middle, then either each other, or you have to go back and re-enter, it is very troublesome, so it is not only convenient to walk. And it's much faster, too.

"Okay, let's walk. It's all about exercising, but it's just troublesome for you to run back and forth, Mr. Gao. I'm a little embarrassed. Zhang Tianyuan said as he walked into the alley with Teacher Gao.

"Hey, what's this, it's still warm when you walk back and forth on such a cold day. By the way, Mr. Zhang, what is your relationship with Nie Gongzi? Our auction company has Nie Gongzi's shares, and Nie Gongzi is also one of our bosses. Teacher Gao also seemed to be very talkative, so as not to embarrass Zhang Tianyuan, he walked along. While chatting, of course, on the other hand, he also wanted to inquire about what kind of relationship Zhang Tianyuan and Nie Zhen had and how he should deal with today's matter.

"It's nothing, it's just brothers." Zhang Tianyuan replied casually, the relationship between himself and the Nie family, the less people know about it, the better, he doesn't want to cause any trouble, and more importantly. Now all he thinks about is the old house, who would have the heart to answer such a question.

The two of them walked through a narrow alley, and there was really a car passing in the middle, and it was a small SUV. It was thanks to the fact that they didn't drive in, otherwise it would have been a waste of time in the traffic jam, and it would have taken less than ten minutes to walk. Zhang Tianyuan saw this place, and it was really not far from the position he was standing on. Most of the architecture here is Western-style, and it looks very old. Zhang Tianyuan suddenly thought of the eastern suburbs.

"Isn't this Dongjiaomin Lane?" After all, Zhang Tianyuan has not been in the imperial capital for a long time, and he has never visited a place like this, he has only heard the name, but he has never come to play.

Dongjiaomin Lane was born at the end of the 13th century. The period of Polo's visit to China. At that time, the grain in the south of the Yangtze River was transported to the capital of Yuan through the guò Grand Canal, and it was unloaded here, and this alley was called Jiangmi Lane. Located in the Dongcheng District of the Imperial City, it is an alley. The alley starts from Tiananmen Square East Road in the west to Chongwenmen Inner Street in the east, with a total length of nearly 3 kilometers, and is the longest alley in the old imperial capital.

This Dongjiaomin Lane, a quiet and ordinary street extending east from the south side of Tiananmen Square in the imperial capital, with small Western-style buildings standing side by side, the branches of the big locust trees swaying, and the wooden sign of "This place was designated as a patriotic education base in 1992" is hung high on the gray wall of the small street. At the turn of the century, the imperial city formulated a plan to protect the historical features of Dongjiaomin Lane as a whole, warning the world not to forget the national shame.

"The tragic state of the imperial capital has reached its extreme. Outside the front gate, Dashilar and Dongjiaomin Lane, Xishiku and other places, are only broken bricks...... The soldiers of the only country are arrogant...... The wind and rain are miserable, the blood is stained, the bones are entrusted to the eagle dog, and the bones are withered and who hangs on them. This horrific description was written down by a Japanese journalist in 1900 after witnessing the invasion of the imperial capital by the Eight-Nation Coalition and its frenzied burning and looting. On August 14, 1900, the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded the imperial capital, beginning the largest catastrophe in the history of the imperial capital. The rare treasure of Dongjiaomin Xiangtai Hospital - acupuncture bronze man was robbed; The "Yongle Grand Canon" and "Siku Quanshu" in the Hanlin Courtyard in Yuhexi were completely destroyed...... The aggressor completely tore off the self-proclaimed cloak of civilization.

In 1901, the Qing government was forced to sign the "Xinchou Treaty" with the invaders, which humiliated the country, and Dongjiaomin Lane fell into deep suffering. In the past, the foreign powers occupied less than one-twentieth of the entire Dongjiaomin Lane area, and the local administration was still owned by Huaxia. However, according to the "Xinchou Treaty", the foreign powers swallowed the entire Dongjiaomin Lane area in one gulp, and the Chinese people were not allowed to live and set up government offices, and the administrative power was completely vested in the embassy, and the Chinese government had no right to intervene. They arbitrarily changed the original street name of Huaxia, changing the name of Dongjiaomin Lane to Embassy Street, Chang'an Street to Italian Street, and Taijichang Toutiao Hutong to Heard Road...... The foreign powers also forced the Qing court to grant the privilege of stationing troops. For a time, Dongjiaomin Lane was turned into a barracks for the Great Powers, which was used to coerce the Qing government and suppress the Chinese people.

"The Yuhe Bridge outside the Chang'an Gate, the sedan horses have been in the early court; Unexpectedly, the palace was in the crown place, and the fort was built high. "This description of Dongjiaomin Lane by a poet in the late Qing Dynasty is so sad for a sovereign country!

Dongjiaomin Lane is a cultural relics protection block in the imperial capital and is protected by the cultural relics department.

So Zhang Tianyuan was also surprised, in front of him, many Western-style buildings were painted with the word "demolition" with white paint, obviously about to be demolished.

"Teacher Gao, isn't this a cultural relics protection block? How dare you demolish it without permission? Zhang Tianyuan couldn't help but ask.

"It's different, the cultural relics department mainly protects the streetscape and some buildings of the entire block, but most of them actually have to be demolished, which mainly belongs to the past houses, which are in disrepair, not only dangerous, but also impossible to use as a tourist attraction, the key is too much space, so it must be rebuilt."
