"Then boss, what are you doing?"

"Secretary Li, that's right, I lost a piece of jade last night, which is the yang green of the glass species, nearly 50 kilograms, hundreds of millions."

"How could you lose it?"

"An employee under my hand, with me for a few years, I didn't buy back wool before the New Year, I didn't start to cut and didn't build a new warehouse, just stacked in an old canteen warehouse, there are 8 people on duty, last night and weekend, we were not there, an employee knocked out another, stole a piece of jadeite, the gate on duty saw him carrying a big bag out of the house, did not stop, just called me, I came back and found that a piece of jade was missing. The main thing is that this piece of jade is too conspicuous, everyone likes it, and I know the road if I don't lose it, and I don't know the way if I lose it. ”

"Now that I've lost it, what else can I do?"

"You hurry up and have someone pull those artifacts away, and I'll have a place to stack them. The cultural relics are all placed on wooden shelves, and they occupy the space, and I don't want to do it. ”

"Okay, I'll call Grandpa, and I'll get back to you later. The boss, we haven't eaten together for a long time, I found a farmhouse, it tastes good, get together at noon? ”

"If I don't guard at home, I can't eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, forget it."

Called grandpa's phone, turned off the phone, called Brother Xiao's, and got through. "Brother Xiao, what are you doing?"

"Attending a cultural relics fair in a county, I'm busy."

"Do you have time tomorrow, there is something in the capital that needs grandpa to come over."

"We don't have anything to do tomorrow, but we will go to the next county, and there is something on the 14th. It is also a cultural relics fair. ”

"How far from the airport?"

"Not far. There are highways. It's two hours away. ”

"Brother Xiao, I'll check and see if there are any flights to Beijing today."

"Don't check today, it's 5 o'clock in the afternoon when we're busy, clean up, go to the provincial capital after dinner, it's already 8 o'clock, can't come." Find out the heavens. ”

"Good. I'll call you later. ”

I turned on the computer and found out that it was a flight at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, arrived in Beijing at 10:20, and went back at 1 p.m. on the 13th.

Call and tell Brother Xiao that the situation is clear, and after grandpa selects the cultural relics, he will be responsible for sending them back here, and the family will arrange for someone to pick them up. Brother Xiao said okay. Go to the provincial capital at night.

After hanging up, Wuyang took 3 little mastiffs out of the house. I don't think I think I look at it every day. After a few days of not seeing it, it was clear that the little mastiff had grown up again and had to be trained. After lunch, I drove to buy a few bicycle tires, and when I got home, I tied them with ropes and tied them between the mastiff's front legs, so that the little mastiff could drag them away.

This is the method of training mastiffs that Gemu Tsosang told, and in order for the young mastiff to grow up to be strong, it must be trained from an early age. First let it drag the bicycle tires, then the motorcycle tires, then the small car tires, and the last is the large car tires, which can be dragged up to 1 kilometer, and it is basically successful.

The little mastiff dragged it and didn't run at all, and it couldn't be driven away, only Wuyang dragged them in front of them, and only walked a few steps. When the three little mastiffs were pulled together, they were entangled together, and it was not easy to get separated, so I remembered that the little mastiffs should be trained to listen to the command first.

The 3 little mastiffs couldn't just listen to their own command, so they called Liu Rong out, and went to invite the Huang family's father-in-law and asked them to follow the mastiff training.

Let the little mastiff sit down first, the little mastiff doesn't understand, so he pressed the little mastiff's ass down with his hand, after a few times, the little mastiff understood, heard the command to sit down, knew that the mastiff sat down, then stood up, then forward, followed by running, biting, several people were busy for two hours, and the little mastiff learned.

The father-in-law of the Huang family said: "This little mastiff is much smarter than the wolf dog, and the little wolf dog can't learn a single action in an afternoon." In the future, I will take the little mastiffs to the military dog training ground so that they can learn some difficult movements. ”

The next morning, Wuyang brought out the 3 little mastiffs, and after convenience, he reviewed yesterday's movements, which were very good, and then put on a rope and let them drag the bicycle tires. After walking for a hundred meters, the little mastiff was so tired that his tongue stuck out and gasped, and he took a short break and walked again. After going around the fish pond, the afternoon sun let them rest, feed them beef, and groom their bodies.

At breakfast, let Liu Rong train them at night to see if they listen to the command.

After the meal, Uncle Yu asked him to send a car with a sealed carriage for backup, and Uncle Yu said: "The only things that can be sealed are pickup trucks and large trucks." ”

Wuyang said: "Just a big truck, pick a car in good condition, wash it a little clean." In addition, I will send two people who are good at martial arts to escort me to my house. ”

Uncle Yu said, "I just want Gan Jialiang and their people to transport it back, okay?" They will come over for lunch. ”

Wuyang said: "That's better, you contact and wait for my call." ”

After reading a book for a while, I drove to the airport to pick up my grandfather. There is no way, there is no way to determine whether there is a traffic jam on the road, only to leave early. Although it moved slowly for a while, it was still not blocked, and it finally arrived on time.

After receiving the grandfather, the grandfather said to buy a ticket to go back tomorrow at the airport, so as not to delay the day after tomorrow. Brother Xiao took his ID card to buy a ticket, and his grandfather asked Wuyang for wine, saying that he had no wine and no spirit.

Wuyang took a bottle of wine and a pack of spiced peanuts in the trunk, and grandpa drank a few sips of wine and ate a few peanuts, and when Brother Xiao came back from buying a ticket, the wine had already been drunk.

When I arrived at the courtyard of the boss's house, there was a high-walled deep courtyard composed of 5 villas, and the entrance gate was a small fish pond, and opposite the fish pond was a half-moon-shaped villa. A cobblestone road circles the fish pond.

The boss was waiting in front of the villa, and after getting out of the car at noon, he asked, "Boss, why are there cobblestones on the road?" ”

The boss smiled, "Walking barefoot on it in summer can massage the acupuncture points on the soles of your feet, and when it freezes in winter, it can be non-slip." It's just that it's not very convenient to drive. ”

When I entered the villa, I found that the area of the villa is not large, the first floor is a large living room, a dining room, and the rest is the kitchen and toilet, about 200 square meters. No wonder the boss said there was nowhere to put things.

After drinking tea, the grandfather couldn't sit still, and the boss said: "The things are upstairs and downstairs here, and upstairs are calligraphy and paintings, the four treasures of the study and porcelain." Downstairs are metal utensils, crockery and some miscellaneous. Take a look, old man. Give a price. I have asked the teachers at the auction house to look at it, and they have numbered it, and the number is on top of the artifact, and the price code is kept secret for the time being. If there is not much difference between the two, let's make a deal, and if the difference is too big, let's take a step each, how about it? ”

Grandpa nodded. Wuyang also said okay, so let's do it.

The boss led him upstairs, and at the door, the grandfather said: "Wuyang, you accompany the boss to drink tea, Xiao Xiao and I will see the goods and register the other, and it will be soon." ”

Since grandpa said so, Wuyang had no choice but to go downstairs with the boss. After drinking tea for a while, the two went to the fish pond for a walk. It turned out to be a fish pond, with white porcelain tiles pasted on the bottom and sides, and koi fish were raised. Red, flowery, large and small. The roots of several clusters of water lilies are rooted in porcelain jars.

The boss is quite knowledgeable about koi fish and all kinds of fish. Talking to Wuyang one by one, Wuyang basically doesn't understand, only listens. Chatting and talking, we talked about cultural relics again.

"Boss, what is the highest price among your cultural relics?"

"I guess it's a few bronzes. You know my surname, you know that I am not a Han Chinese, my ancestor is a prince of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, I have no intention of power, only love to collect antiques, but it was passed to me, after the Cultural Revolution, there are only a few bronzes left. Speaking of which, bronze is not yet something that has been handed down from ancestors. ”

"Tell me about it."

"My father joined the army because he was angry that the Japanese had robbed the family of the family's treasure. One day when he was strolling on the street, he saw two brothers selling old objects that looked like bronzes, and he didn't know whether the road was true or false, so he bought 4 pieces of the only 20 yuan on his body. There were more than 100 of these things in their house, and my father chose 4 of the best. After bringing back to the troops, their division commander said that he had robbed the tomb and had to confiscate it, but of course his father did not do it, and then the matter went to their theater commander. ”

"What happened?"

"After the commander saw the object, he immediately approved it to be owned by my father, and asked my father to lead the way to the seller. After finding it, there were not many things left, and the price had risen to 200 oceans a piece. The chief bought the remaining seven pieces and appointed my father to take care of them, and arranged for a cart and two horses to be transferred at any time until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. My father left the army and returned to Beiping, where he went incognito, then started a family and lived his whole life by picking up rags. ”

"How long has it been since the old man passed away?"

"Less than ten years. He taught me all the knowledge of cultural relics appreciation, and some of the cultural relics at home were also recovered by him when he collected them. When the cultural relics were allowed to be bought and sold, the old man sold some, bought this piece of land, and later poured the cultural relics, the things at home were placed by the old man, and my achievement was to buy a shop in the glaze factory, and there were not many cultural relics to buy. ”

"Why don't you open a museum or keep these artifacts?"

"The old man left a message before his death, saying that the prosperous era collects jewelry and collects gold in troubled times, but in fact, gold is reliable. I also estimate that now that the global economy is integrated, turning things into money and depositing them in Swiss banks is the most reliable. Of course, if you don't run a museum, I won't give you these things, and no matter how much money you owe, I'll just sell some of the cultural relics or jadeite. ”

"Where were the bronzes found?"

"It seems to be a county called what is the wind, a place called Renjia Village. The seller only later learned that Lu Dao was the Ren brothers, and they dug it up while working in the field. ”

Wuyang remembered the name of this place, and thought that if he had time in the future, he would use his special skills with Zhu Qibin to go around those places.

"Where's the Commander's thing?"

"It seems to be in the collection of the Museum of Chinese Characters. The name is called Shanfu Jifu Bronzes, these things are collected in the National Museum and the East China Sea Museum, you can go and take a look, compare, if it is fake, I am responsible for 10 times the compensation. ”

"Boss, how much did you spend on these cultural relics to get them back?"

The boss smiled: "Who can calculate this, the price has risen so much, the cultural relics have risen so much, and the gods can't be counted." But I still know the consulting fee that I should give you this time, and you should know it too, right? ”

Wuyang smiled, "I guess your total number should be around 17,000 or 8, Boss Qiu should be around 10,003, and Boss Ji and theirs should be around 10,000." ”

The boss smiled: "It's about 30% lower than the auction house's estimate." Secretary Li. Boss Qiu is wealthy. He won't sell jadeite. We discussed that if other jewelry stores needed jadeite urgently, we would consider selling some of them. Of course, each person will take out one or two pieces at a time. As I said just now, I'm just going to keep the money, and I won't keep anything else, so you won't have an opinion, right? ”

"What do I have to say about your stuff? I wish you were selling for a higher price, so that what I have in my hands will go up. That boss. If you sell to repay me, don't worry, you must sell at the right price. Your usual business income is enough to go to Myanmar to buy wool. ”

The boss smiled bitterly, "Now it's a tiger, buy it, I owe you a consultant fee, don't buy it, and watch the silver turn into water." ”

"I said I don't mind, you're not asking for trouble. Or else. I've already taken you there, so you don't need me as an advisor. I just bought it myself, that is, I bought all the wool back, and it was much less than paying the consultant, so I wouldn't be unhappy. In the future, there will be no wool in Myanmar, and a few of you will be able to make a lot of money! ”

The boss thought about it for a while, "Then forget it, buy so many stones, not to mention paying more freight, but also in cash, you can still owe debts, besides, fertilizer and water don't flow into outsiders' fields." Do you earn consulting fees, or do you earn them yourself? ”

"How many artifacts do you have, why can't they come down? I'm hungry. Boss, which villa do you cook in? ”

The boss smiled, "I'm sorry at noon today, I drove my wife and children away, and the only one who was left guarding the door was my father-in-law, he wouldn't talk nonsense, and I wouldn't worry about the others, I didn't want anyone to know the whereabouts of these things." There are steamed buns and porridge at home, I'll heat it up in the microwave, let's eat some first? ”

"Porridge and steamed buns are good. Boss, we're not smuggling cultural relics, why are you so mysterious? ”

"You can't have the heart to hurt people, you can't have the heart to defend people, since your subordinates have stolen jadeite, what kind of person can't come out."

The two went into the house to make steamed porridge, Brother Xiao came down from upstairs, and Grandpa also went downstairs.

"Wuyang, do you still have any wine?" Grandpa asked.

"I'll keep a bottle for you, and I'll get it."

"Old man, are there many fakes upstairs?" The boss asked.

Grandpa said: "Not much, mainly concentrated in calligraphy and paintings, more than 100 calligraphy and paintings, there are more than 40 fakes." ”

"Old man, please take my liberty, you are so sure, you must be very sure, can you give an example?"

"It's impossible to be absolutely accurate, and some of them are guesses. For example, the painting of Xu Beihong is the one with the human body, according to the time when Master Xu painted and the age of the model in the painting, it should be a woman with small feet, and it cannot be Tianzu. That's how I judged it to be a fake. ”

The boss smiled, "Old man, I don't dare to agree." That painting was bought 15 years ago, when my father was still alive, for more than 400,000 yuan, and according to the current comparable price, it should be more than 40 million. ”

Grandpa said: "Boss, no matter what, we definitely don't want it, but we will never say it, don't care too much." ”

Having said that, there is no further discussion. The boss made porridge steamed buns, and Wuyang brought wine and ate.

A few years later, the painting was auctioned for a sky-high price of more than 80 million, which was confirmed by Master Xu's wife, Ms. Liao Jingwen, that is, it was indeed a fake, and the evidence was that Ms. Liao knew the model and knew that she had small feet. Wuyang talked to his grandfather about it, and his grandfather laughed it off. That's an afterword.

After a few people had eaten, they separated again. Grandpa and Brother Xiao continued to select cultural relics in the basement, and Wuyang played Go with the boss. This is the only entertainment that Wuyang will have, but Go is easy to learn and difficult to master, and Wuyang rarely plays, at the beginning, the boss let 15 sons, and Wuyang admitted defeat within 10 minutes. In two hours, 9 games were played in a row, and Wuyang did not win any of them, but the number of children was reduced to 7.

After Grandpa came out, the boss didn't have the heart to play chess, Brother Xiao sat there to calculate the data, he just stood there and watched for a while, and sat here for a while.

Half an hour passed, Brother Xiao's number was calculated, and the boss took out the auction house's estimate, and compared the two, Brother Xiao's number was more than 1 billion more. A total of 156 billion, so that part of the consultant fee can be repaid.

Looking at the boss's incomprehensible expression, Grandpa explained: "Among your more than 8,200 cultural relics, we only selected more than 100 fakes, and there may be eye-catching, which shows the essence of your collection." For what we have reduced by more than 100 pieces, the price is still high, mainly 4 bronzes. This is responsible for the casting of the imperial chef of the Son of Heaven in the Zhou Dynasty, it has been more than 3,000 years, and the inscription is clearly engraved for the emperor of the Son of Heaven, so I gave a high price of 800 million. The value of the rest of the cultural relics varies from high to low, but on average, each piece is nearly 20 million. ”

"Boss, didn't you tell me it was two thousand artifacts? Why did you pop up so much at once? Wuyang asked. He really didn't understand.

"In fact, there were only more than 1,000 pieces at first, and I began to get back the boutique products of Bada Hutong and Liulichang in order to make up the number. Later, I remembered the 3 huts left when the villa was built, piled up some sundries, my father used to go over to see, I moved the bamboo frame board, rotten wood, etc., and found that it was the altar jar inside, and then vacated the house to install jade, and found a lot in the basement of the villa at the other end, so I made up such a number. ”

"How about it, can I just make a deal at the price my grandfather said?"

The boss didn't say anything, and Wuyang asked again: "How is it, is there any doubt, if I don't have it, I will send you a receipt, do you need me to pay you some cash?" ”

The boss smiled: "There is no doubt, and there is still some reluctance in my heart." But Secretary Li, you can't sell these things, maybe I want to redeem them one day. There is no need for cash, I still have 100 million a month, just the production of our silver dollar, you can earn hundreds of millions, if you sell some jadeite, the rest can be paid off this year and next year. ”

Wuyang made a receipt, and called the big truck to come, and the three people began to pack. The boss had already prepared a lot of cardboard boxes, as well as a few large bags of shredded paper, and it was very quick to pack them and stand up.

When loading the bronzes into the box, Wuyang saw these inconspicuous things that were only 30 centimeters high, green and rusty, and really wondered if his grandfather was wrong.

When loading the pottery, I saw some good things. Tang Sancai alone has several pieces, horses, camels, and blue horses; In particular, there are a few things that I have never heard of before. There are also clay pots of various colors.

While packing the box, Brother Xiao told which one was not wanted, so as not to load it incorrectly.

Wuyang asked: "Then boss, if your cultural relics are classified according to the country's cultural relics, which level can they be classified in?" ”

"I guess there should be more than 10 pieces of special grade, more than 100 pieces of first grade, and the rest are all in the second and third grades."

At this time, the driver of the security company came, and they also happened to finish packing the things downstairs, and Wuyang arranged for the drivers to load the car.

When he got upstairs, the boss asked Wuyang to install those porcelain, the four treasures of the study and the like, and he and Brother Xiao put away the calligraphy and paintings that his grandfather didn't want.

The two floors upstairs are shelves painted with old red paint, and every house is full. When the afternoon sun arrived at the porcelain shelf, the dazzling array of porcelain dazzled people's eyes. Ouch, isn't that what it is...... (To be continued......)
