PS: In the new January, ask for a few monthly passes, please support them.

Under the explanation of the shopkeeper Xie, others did not doubt it.

After all, as Shopkeeper Xie said, the remnant monument is not a precious treasure, and it is estimated that no one wants to collect it. Otherwise, things will be left in the store for some days, and if someone wants them, they will be sold long ago, so why wait until now.

"Why do you want to sell it when you know no one wants it?" Song Youdao was also a little strange.

"The stele should be a head."

At this time, Xie Zhizhu, the shopkeeper, was holding his hand and said, "This brother, is there any ancient bridge in your village?" ”

"Uh......"

Lu Chongming was stunned, then nodded and said: "Yes, there is a small river in front of the village and behind the village, so two stone arch bridges were built, which are said to be hundreds of years old." And this remnant monument is resting near the stone bridge behind the village, and when we were young, we often played near the stone bridge stone monument. ”

"That's right." Shopkeeper Xie immediately smiled and said, "You call back now and ask, I estimate that the two stone bridges should have been stolen and removed." ”

"What?"

Lu Chongming was stunned, and after a little hesitation, he took out his mobile phone and made a call to the village.

"I've had stories of this kind of thing."

When Lu Chongming called, Song Youdao frowned and said: "Especially in the Jiangnan area, there are many small bridges and flowing water, and there are many ancient bridge buildings. Some profit-hungry people are crazy about stealing and selling these ancient bridges. It seems that Brother Lu's hometown has also been murdered. ”

"Don't even let go of the old bridge?"

At this time, Wang Guan was stunned: "I stole it, who did I sell it to?" ”

"Stone bridges are also a type of ancient architecture, and there are always some people who will be interested." Shopkeeper Xie explained: "Some rich people use it to decorate their courtyards, and they feel that the ancient bridge has a charm. Some ancient buildings invested by the government prefer to use the ancient to repair the ancient, anyway, they are only responsible for buying them, and never ask about the origin of the things. ”

Song Youdao nodded. agreed: "The world is like this, where there is demand, there will be business." When it is profitable, there will be people who will do these undesirable things. ”

"Yes to ......"

When Shopkeeper Xie nodded, Lu Chongming also finished calling, only to see him come over and say with a wry smile: "That's right, not only the stone bridge stele, but also several stone lions, have also disappeared inexplicably." ”

"I'm crazy." Wang Guan couldn't help but sigh: "No one cares?" ”

"It's not that no one cares, but it's not easy to manage." Shopkeeper Xie smiled bitterly: "Some stone bridges are not taken seriously. It is not included in the list of loved protection by the local cultural relics department, and without special care, it is naturally easy to be stolen. After that, even if the case was reported, there were not enough clues, and the police could not pursue it, and in the end they had to stop it. ”

This is a very real problem, and everyone has nothing to do. This society is like this, there are many things that are difficult to solve, and may not be solved at all. Everyone has no choice but to uncover it. Otherwise, everything will be taken care of, and the matter will not be resolved. Instead, he confessed himself.

That's it now, after a moment of silence, Lu Chongming spoke: "Shopkeeper Xie, I bought the stele." How much? ”

"What money is not money, since you are the owner, then just move away. Don't mention the money. "Anyway, things aren't worth much, and Shopkeeper Xie is also willing to be a favor.

Of course, no matter how the shopkeeper Xie shirked, Lu Chongming still stuffed a few hundred yuan into the past. Seeing that he couldn't push it, Shopkeeper Xie drew a ticket meaningfully, which was considered the cost and storage fee, and then returned the rest of the money.

Don't think that the shopkeeper is losing, in fact, this is the highest level of doing business. At least in China, business and people can always be linked.

It's like two shops doing the same business, and the owner of one of the shops is more kind, and often talks and chats with customers, so as to avoid some odds. After coming and going, I became familiar with the customer. At the same time, a new store has opened next door, and even if the quality of the new store is slightly better, customers still like to buy things from the old store.

Because customers feel that they are going to buy something from a new store, they feel as if they are very sorry for the owner of the old store, and there is an inexplicable sense of guilt that prompts them to make the above choice, which is the power of human affection.

Shopkeeper Xie is now gathering favors, giving up a little small profit, in exchange for a potential customer, with a long-term vision, worthy of a business veteran who has been operating the store for more than ten years.

Of course, this is a conspiracy of Yang, even if he knows the purpose of the shopkeeper Xie, Lu Chongming intends to accept this favor. After all, the stele is not only a stele, but also carries the memories of his childhood. Now that he has seen it, it is impossible for him to be indifferent, and he will definitely bring it back.

In any case, paying the money with one hand and picking up the goods with the other hand is a win-win deal. After this episode, everyone's relationship is indeed much closer, at least Shopkeeper Xie invited everyone to the inner room for tea, but no one refused.

During this period, Shopkeeper Xie took out a lot of good things for everyone to appreciate and evaluate.

Wang Guan also knows how to be a man, he picks good ones, magnifies the advantages of things, and brings the defects over, which naturally makes the shopkeeper Xie smile and feel comfortable. But the things are good, and they are relatively speaking, anyway, there is no king to look at. However, Lu Chongming, probably out of the psychology of repaying favors, bought a very chic jade paperweight.

At the right time, Mr. Xie must have been very happy, and it also confirmed the correctness of his business strategy. After that, Wang Guan and the others took their leave, called a taxi, moved the stele to the car, and galloped away.

Soon after, the car stopped at the hotel where Wang Guan lived. It was an arrangement in Shanghai, very high-end and comfortable, and the most important thing was that he didn't have to pay for it himself, which made him feel very comfortable.

"It's a pity, you've already moved in, otherwise you can move in together." Wang Guan smiled, beckoned, and after showing the room card, the staff of the hotel helped move the stone tablet to the elevator, and then went all the way up to his room.

The presidential suite, not much about the degree of luxury, anyway, how luxurious it is. So when there was an extra broken stone tablet in the translucent floor, even Lu Chongming himself felt embarrassed, and hurriedly covered it up with a newspaper.

Wang Guan didn't care, and said casually: "Let's leave it like this first, and then deal with it when we come back." As for now, let's go, take you to see something. ”

"See what?" Song Youdao was a little confused.

Lu Chongming's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "The things have been escorted over?" ”

"It's on the edge of Shanghai, and it's being shipped."

Wang Guan smiled: "Anyway, it's not far, go over and take a look." ”

"Okay."

Lu Chongming nodded without hesitation, and directly pulled Song Youdao, who looked puzzled, and after leaving the hotel, he walked through two more streets, and in front of him was a building that symbolized the round sky. From a distance, the circular roof and the upper arc of the arch make the whole building look like an ancient Chinese bronze statue.

"Shanghai City Museum!"

At first glance, Song Youdao was a little surprised: "What are you doing here?" ”

"Hehe, don't ask more."

At this time, Wang Guan beckoned: "Let's go, let's go through the back door." ”

At Wang Guan's signal, the three of them walked over briskly, only to see that the main entrance of the museum had been blocked. There is no way, tomorrow is the treasure exhibition, and the museum must be closed to adjust the furnishings, so as not to make any mistakes.

Nevertheless, at this moment, in front of the museum's gates, there is a lot of crowd gathered. When I got closer, it was the people who couldn't buy tickets for tomorrow's treasure exhibition who were negotiating with the museum's ticket sales staff.

"It's really lively."

Seeing this situation, Wang Guan knew that Song Youdao really did not exaggerate, and there were indeed many people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang who came to participate in the treasures, at least more than expected. But there is no way, the itinerary has been finalized, and it is difficult to change. After five days of exhibition in Shanghai, the next stop is Fujian Province, which may be able to attract Taiwanese tourists.

Wang Guan thought secretly, but his movements were not slow, and he went around to the back door of the museum, where there were naturally guards. But after he showed a document, he went in unimpeded.

As soon as he entered the gate of the museum, Song Youdao finally couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and asked, "Wang Guan, do you have acquaintances in the museum?" Or do you work in a museum? There is actually a pass! ”

"Uncle Song, he doesn't work in a museum, but cooperates with a museum." Lu Chongming smiled: "You don't have to rush, when you go inside, you will understand what's going on." ”

As they spoke, the three entered the museum's exhibition halls.

Speaking of which, the museum in Shanghai is very large and is divided into four floors. There are a number of things on each floor, the most famous of which is certainly the Bronze Pavilion on the first floor. The bronzes in the collection are mainly a number of famous works that have been circulated in an orderly manner since the late Qing Dynasty, such as the famous Da Ke Ding, German Fang Ding and so on.

Of course, in addition to bronzes, other items such as calligraphy, paintings, ceramics, jade, stone carvings, and oracle bone inscriptions are also abundant. All in all, the whole museum, with its many collections and exquisite quality, enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad, and has the reputation of half of the cultural relics industry.

However, at this time, Wang Guan did not come for the collection here. And when you enter the exhibition hall on the first floor, you can see that a group of staff members are carefully packing up their things to make enough space.

"Xiao Wang, you're here."

At this time, seeing Wang Guan and the others coming in, one of the old experts in charge of the on-site command immediately came over and asked with a smile, "Is it that the thing has arrived?" ”

"Well, here it is." Wang Guan smiled: "You always let people prepare to greet you." ”

"It's ready." The old expert was a little impatient and said, "You can check it yourself at will, I'll wait outside." If you have any opinions, come back and ask me, and we will definitely rectify them until you are satisfied......"

While talking, the old expert really called a few people to wait outside. At the same time, Song Youdao vaguely understood, but more shocked: "Wang Guan, you are ......"

"Uncle Song, reintroduce it." Wang Guan smiled and handed out the business card: "The deputy director of the Contemptible Xiyi Museum is also one of the persons in charge of this treasure exhibition, please take care of it in the future." (To be continued......)
