PS: The second update is up, continue to ask for monthly pass support.

The so-called old man becomes a fine man, how vicious Director Wang's eyes are, he naturally saw that Wang Guan's words were insincere, and he was even more curious, and couldn't help asking: "Wang Guan, you can't cross the river and tear down the bridge, have you found something good again, hurry up and tell the truth." ”

"Curator Wang, you're too careful." Wang Guan said with a smile: "A good thing is not cabbage, how can it be said that you will find it when you find it." ”

"I can testify to this."

At the same time, Pi Qiushi next to him said with a smile: "He really hasn't encountered anything good in the past two days, and even if he makes a move, it's nothing more than spending 30,000 yuan to buy an old box." ”

"What an old box." Curator Wang asked with interest: "Now there are fewer and fewer old-style furniture, and it is also a hot spot for collections, and it is heating up very quickly." ”

The old-style furniture mentioned here is not an antique furniture that indicates the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and it needs to be distinguished.

Because the furniture of the Ming and Qing dynasties has long been a popular collection, just look at Mr. Feng, and the Liangyi Museum is dedicated to the collection of Ming and Qing dynasty furniture.

In fact, the so-called old-style furniture refers to the furniture of the fifties, sixties, seventies and eighties after the founding of the People's Republic of China. You must know that the things of that period were not like now, there were defective products made of composite materials everywhere, and it would be good to be able to use them for a few years.

Back then, the hearts of the people were simple, and the things that were hand-hammered out by the workers and masters were famous for their quality first. As long as it is stored properly, there will be no signs of damage even after decades of use.

That's why in the late nineties, there was a trade-in craze everywhere. There have long been shrewd merchants who have aimed at this market, collected those old furniture, and then scraped and refurbished and painted and sold it, and the price directly increased more than ten times, and some people recognized this person's account.

Until now, there are still people who are happy to do this business, which shows how the quality of the old furniture was at that time.

Of course, now the collection of old furniture. Most are due to nostalgia complexes. After all, most of the people who came over in that era are now the pillars of the family, and there are many big bosses with thousands of dollars.

It's human nature to remember bittersweet memories. However, due to the different hobbies of each person, some people focused on stamps and coins at the time, some people focused on comic books at the time, and naturally some people focused on the furniture of the time......

So in recent years, the old furniture market has become more and more prosperous. Naturally, it became a hit.

At this time, Curator Wang concluded: "As long as the box is good, 30,000 yuan is not expensive. ”

"It's really not expensive." Wang Guan smiled, and after thinking about it, he suddenly confessed, walked to the parking place outside the villa, and took the small wooden box to the hall in the car.

When he came in, Wang Guan also wiped the dust off the surface of the small wooden box, so what was displayed in front of everyone now was an ordinary-looking one. It's just a slightly old and quaint box, but there's nothing special about it.

"Well, it's a good thing, it's a more popular suitcase during the Republic of China."

It was Mr. Feng who spoke. He is a researcher of antique furniture, and he can tell the origin of things at a glance. Of course, the so-called things are good, and everyone knows it. That's just a polite remark.

Strictly speaking, the material and shape of this small wooden box are average. The surface is only coated with a layer of red paint. By now, the paint has fallen off, indicating that the process is also average. All in all, things are just ordinary old objects that can be used as collectibles, but they are certainly not of much value.

"30,000 yuan is not a loss, but there is no profit margin." Lao Meng commented, habitually estimating the price.

Hearing everyone's comments, Wang Guan chuckled, and suddenly reminded: "Have you noticed that the box is locked." ”

"Oh?"

Everyone was stunned, and they didn't understand why Wang Guan deliberately emphasized, after all, it was normal for the box to have a lock, what was so strange? With this in mind, everyone took the opportunity to look towards the lock on the side of the box.

At first glance, everyone's eyes narrowed slightly. The people present are all experts, just now they just paid attention to the wooden box itself, and did not pay attention to the lock, but now that they have noticed, it can naturally be seen that the lock is not ordinary.

"Copper Lock."

At the right time, Director Wang stretched out his hand to touch the lock, weighed it a little, and said in surprise: "This is the craftsmanship of a skilled craftsman, there is gold in the refined copper, even if you directly hit it with a hammer, it will only smash the wooden box and will not damage the lock." ”

"Wait......"

While speaking, Curator Wang felt the texture on the lock, and hurriedly flipped the lock over, and immediately saw the Manchu text that Wang Guan had just sketched on the other side.

Seeing this, Curator Wang was slightly startled, and hurriedly raised his head and said, "Wang Guan, you just found the word Heshuo on the lock." ”

"Yes." Wang Guan nodded lightly and said, what is clear naturally does not need to be denied. Besides, he brought the things over, so naturally he had a reason. Anyway, he's laying out now, just waiting for everyone to take the bait.

"That's weird."

Curator Wang groaned: "This kind of lock is branded with Manchu characters, which means that this is something specially customized by someone from the Prince of Heshuo's Mansion at that time, and ordinary people can't afford to use it." Of course, it is not excluded that this is in the Republic of China period, the lock was lost in the people, and after being obtained, the lock was of good quality, so he simply left it for his own use. ”

"Makes sense." Others nodded approvingly, after all, after Xinhai, especially during the warlord melee, the old and young of the Qing Dynasty did not have a good time, and often sold their ancestral property to survive, and it is estimated that things are lost to the people in this way.

"It's a pity that the locks are broken."

Curator Wang shook his head, stretched out his hand and pulled it slightly, and the lock opened in response, and then he opened the lid of the box with his hand, only to see that it was empty and there was nothing. This is an inevitable thing, and in the process of tossing and circulating the box, even if there is something inside, it is estimated that it has been taken away.

"It's been so long, and the wood hasn't chaffed yet, which is relatively rare." Curator Wang looked at it twice, and immediately smiled: "Go back and find someone to wash it, steam it, kill it, and kill the mildew, it is estimated that it can be preserved for another hundred years." ”

"There is no hope for a hundred years." Wang Guan said casually: "The box is okay, but it is a little less distinctive, and I have no interest in collecting, so I will put it in the store and let it wait for someone who really likes it." ”

Everyone nodded slightly, this is Wang Guan's own thing, what he wants to do with it is his business, everyone naturally can't care about it, and he doesn't plan to care about it.

"But it's a pity that the corner of the box was gnawed by rats a little." Wang Guan sighed, stretched out his hand and rubbed the corner of the box, only to see a few sawdust spilled down.

"Not bad, only a little bite." Pi Qiushi said with a smile: "It should be that the rats in the city are not wild enough, if they are replaced by wild mice in the countryside, their sharp teeth can gnaw the corners of the table." ”

"This is also ......" Wang Guan thought so, and continued to rub it, and the sawdust kept falling.

Seeing this, Curator Wang frowned, and wanted to persuade Wang Guan not to be too careful, otherwise if he rubbed it again, the box would be pierced by him. However, before he could speak, something strange happened, only to see Wang Guan rubbing and rubbing out a paper ball.

"Huh! What's going on? ”

Seeing this, everyone's eyes suddenly showed a look of astonishment.

"It doesn't feel like the sawdust is a rotten trace from a rat's bite......," Wang Guan explained, only to realize that this was a bit redundant, because the others didn't care about the wooden box at all, and all their attention was focused on the paper ball.

The paper ball is not big, just slightly larger than the thumb, and it is kneaded into a bead. If you see something like this on the ground somewhere else, you won't look at it anymore. But at this moment, everyone is staring at the paper ball, and the scorching degree is as if the paper ball is about to melt.

The main reason for this is that the paper ball is not an ordinary paper ball. This is definitely not nonsense, because everyone can clearly see that the paper ball is not modern paper, but relatively old oiled paper.

It is important to know that oiled paper is made of tougher base paper, coated with tung oil or other dry oil. It has fold resistance and waterproof performance, and is used for making umbrellas, pasting windows or various waterproof and moisture-proof packaging, which is rarely seen in modern life anyway.

In the old wooden box, a ball of oil paper wrapped in something was found, what would be everyone's first reaction?

Generally speaking, smart people don't guess, but just choose to look at it with their hands. But the smarter ones don't do it, they let someone else do it. So for a moment, the others looked up at the king.

"Don't be stunned, take a look." Pi Qiu is urging.

In the expectant gaze of everyone, Wang Guan simply picked up the paper ball, then carefully pulled it, and then slowly spread it out, and finally found it in the paper ball...... There are also additional paper balls.

Well, the outer layer of oiled paper is just a layer of waterproof packaging, and the inside is the real target. At least for Wang Guan, that's his goal.

However, sometimes he knew the answer in advance, but lost the fun of exploration, so Wang Guan was not excited, but slowly unfolded the paper ball in the oiled paper, and then carefully smoothed it to form a page.

"Not the pages."

Mr. Feng glanced at it and said with some surprise: "It seems to be a bank document, but it is only a part of it." ”

"Then look again, there must be something in the box."

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately made a concerted effort to explore, and sure enough, they found the same paper ball in the other three corners of the box, and after some sorting, a few pages of paper were combined into a document.

Mr. Feng looked at it for a moment, and immediately said in astonishment: "This is a document that someone deposited something in HSBC 80 years ago. ”

"Really?"

When the others heard this, they immediately showed expressions of surprise and surprise, even Wang Guan was no exception. After all, although he knew that there were documents hidden inside the box, he didn't know what was stored, so he was naturally very interested. Moreover, the things are stored secretly, and the name of the object is not indicated, and even if there are documents in hand, everyone does not know what the thing is.

But if you hide the documents so carefully, you know that things are definitely not simple...... (To be continued.) )
