Not long after Zhu Daolin left the villa at the southern foot of Zhongshan, he received two phone calls in a row.

The first was a telephone call from the sales manager of the Polaris Watch Company in this province, telling Zhu Daolin that after unremitting efforts, he had transferred 280 export-type antique table clocks produced by the factory from the five provinces of the Yangtze River and the four northern provinces, which did not have a single Chinese on them except for the Polaris logo and English inscriptions, which fully met Zhu Daolin's requirements, and the wholesale price was 260 yuan per unit, and if he ordered for a long time, he could get a discount of 8 percent on this basis.

The second call is from the female manager of the local watch sales company, informing Zhu Daolin that the antique pocket watch produced by the Seagull Factory has arrived, this commemorative version of the pocket watch is a silver-copper alloy carved shell, silver-copper alloy bracelet, unfortunately, the number is only four hundred and fifty pieces, not up to the one thousand pieces required by Zhu Daolin, in order to show respect, the sales company presented Zhu Daolin with a limited edition 18K gold shell antique pocket watch, the watch is assembled using the original Swiss tourbillon movement, elegant appearance, exquisite craftsmanship, and has a high collection value.

Zhu Daolin had something to do, so he could only tell the other party to go to handle it tomorrow morning, and then drove back to the printing company directly.

In the abandoned warehouse across the wall of the Jincheng Printing Products Company, Liang Cheng and his wife were bargaining with the person in charge of the sugar and liquor company, and Zhu Daolin drove into the rusty iron gate, passed through the uneven road, and finally stopped under the plane tree that had lost all its leaves, and strode towards the smiling crowd with a bulging men's handbag.

"Hello everyone! Orange, have you negotiated? Zhu Daolin greeted the three smiling persons in charge and directly asked Liang Cheng, who was in charge of the whole process.

Liang Cheng smiled bitterly: "I'm talking, and a few old brothers won't let go when it drops to 1.2 million." ”

Zhu Daolin looked around at the cracked walls and the three low and old bungalows, turned to the person in charge of the pot-bellied poop, and gently patted the bulging handbag he was holding in his left arm:

"Brother, this place is only two acres of land, the house and the fence are in ruins, we tighten our belts and buy it and get a bank loan to rebuild, I implore my brother to take care of it, we will sincerely thank you."

The person in charge smiled, pulled the two subordinates five meters away and discussed in a low voice.

Zhu Daolin and Liang Zhu nodded to each other, walked to the three of them together, took out a large envelope containing 100,000 yuan in their handbags, and handed it directly to the person in charge of the lead.

The person in charge immediately showed a hearty smile when he saw it, handed the heavy envelope to the subordinates on the side, laughed and said loudly:

"It can be seen that the two little brothers are real people, and it is not easy to set up a factory these days, haha! In this way, since everyone has no opinion, let's make a deal at the price of 950,000 reached after repeated negotiations and repeated negotiations between the two sides, and you can go to our company to go through the procedures in the afternoon, and then we will send someone to go to the relevant departments with you to handle the transfer procedures of land and real estate, and it can be completed in three days, haha! ”

Liang Cheng and Zhu Daolin thanked them again and again, and respectfully sent the three out of the gate, until the three of them boarded the Toyota Camry car parked at the gate and turned around and left, Liang Cheng sighed with emotion: "Oh, the good country will be defeated in the hands of these birdmen!" ”

Zhu Daolin didn't have as much emotion as Liang Cheng: "Be content, you should hurry up and dismantle and level, apply for construction approval and start construction immediately, with this two acres of land connected to the company, you don't have to worry anymore, if your old man knows about this, I'm afraid you can eat a few more bowls of rice." ”

"That's for sure, huh!"

Liang Cheng looked around with a spring breeze, his wife was also very happy, with this piece of land located next to the main road in the development zone, not only can build a multi-functional storage building, but also build a row of beautiful façade houses facing the main road, greatly improve the business environment at the same time, the company will also step into the threshold of local large and medium-sized printing enterprises, and the competitiveness will be doubled.

Liang Cheng's wife and Zhu Daolin said goodbye with a few laughs, and Zhu Daolin took the cigarettes handed by Liang Cheng and chatted together in the car.

Liang Cheng mentioned the progress of the hand-cranked printing press: "My old classmate in Beijing replied, he said that there is no problem at all, and he will improve the backward transmission system on the basis of the existing hand-cranked printing machine, the structure has become more concise and durable, and it can completely exceed the requirements you put forward, and it will only take two months to deliver, and each machine can be equipped with five matching lead words and maintenance wearing parts according to your requirements, but the overall price has increased a lot, up to 85,000 yuan a set, and you must pay 40% of the payment first." If you agree, I will fly to Beijing next Tuesday and go to the venue of the Printing Technology and Printing Machinery Expo by the way. ”

"Great! Give you this ......"

Zhu Daolin took out the bank card he had done the day before yesterday from his handbag: "There are 10 million in it, the password is your birthday, and I will privately ask you to spend everything from here in the future, just start with the hand-cranked printing press, and I will transfer it to you when I run out." ”

"What are you doing mysteriously all day long? What the hell is going on to buy back so many miscellaneous things? Liang Cheng really wanted to know what Zhu Daolin was busy with.

Zhu Daolin explained apologetically: "I can only say that everything I am doing so far is around the religion I believe in, and the specific situation is really unclear for a while, and maybe you will understand it in the future...... From now on, I have to purchase a lot of things, I need your help very much, there is a way is not to bother the two masters, I don't want to ask others, who let me have only one brother in my life. ”

Liang Cheng silently put away the bank card: "One world, two brothers, what are you doing with me?" If you need anything, if I am too busy, I will arrange for someone you can trust to run errands for your business. By the way, the two sets of comic books are being packed after binding, and they will all be delivered tomorrow afternoon at the latest. ”

"Find a car to transport it to my villa, and leave it there for the time being." Liang Cheng had a bit of a headache, there were too many and miscellaneous things purchased this time, and he was very worried about whether he could bring them over at one time.

Liang Cheng was stunned, but seeing the pleading look in Zhu Daolin's eyes, Liang Cheng, who had a deep affection for his friend, finally helped:

"Do you know how big a 30,000 set of 12 books is? And all the thickened antique printing paper is used, and each book is one-third thicker than the one printed on ordinary paper, how can your villa fit it? Unless you don't live on the second floor, you still listen to me, just ship 5,000 sets each over for the time being, and leave the rest in the company's warehouse first, and come back to get it when it's sold out, alas! You grandson is crazy......"

Zhu Daolin laughed, gave his good brother a punch and turned to get into the car.

"Hey, hey! There is still something to discuss, what are you doing in a hurry? Liang Cheng hurriedly called Zhu Daolin.

Zhu Daolin didn't stop: "I have to rush to Changzhou, I can come back before nine o'clock in the evening, I also have a complicated plan to hand over to you, let's talk about it in detail in the evening." ”

"What are you doing in Changzhou at this time?" Liang Cheng couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Daolin started the car and lowered the window: "The five four-wheeled carriages I customized in a small workshop in Changzhou are ready, I have to go and see what needs to be changed, and I have to find a truck to transport it back, let's go, see you at night!" ”

"Holy! This grandson ...... Could it be that it has something to do with the Tangshan antique film and television base that is spreading all over the world? It's not like that! Could it be that the bullnoses on the Maoshan side are going to build a lot of construction again......"

As soon as Zhu Daolin drove the car on the highway, he received a call from Song Shaojun.

Hearing that Zhu Daolin was rushing to Changzhou on the highway, Song Shaojun put away his mobile phone when he said pay attention to safety, glanced at the Mercedes-Benz van downstairs that had been loaded with three wooden boxes of antique calligraphy and paintings, turned around and returned to the study, and reported to his uncle who was leisurely drinking tea: "Xiao Zhu is on the highway to Changzhou, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back to see you in time." ”

Song Yiming, who had a square face and a big back comb, didn't care: "It's okay, I just want to see what he looks like, I don't want to talk about business with him, people like him with a Taoist background, let's be cautious." ”

Song Shaojun nodded slightly, sat down and said in a low voice: "He is good, although he looks a little indifferent on the outside, which makes people feel a little unapproachable, in fact, he is very talkative, very trustworthy, and can even be said to be warm-hearted, there are not many such people now." ”

"It's not much, it's really rare to be able to beat the bodyguard carefully selected by the Lu family with one punch to vomit blood and faint and break four ribs." Song Yiming laughed teasingly.

Song Shaojun's eyes widened in disbelief: "Why don't I know about this?" ”

Song Yiming said with a smile: "You don't know doesn't mean that the family doesn't know, two years ago, Xiao Zhu served as your driver for a few days, and the family already knew his situation clearly, including his performance during the army and the real reason for his forced discharge, as well as his family situation and religious beliefs, etc." ”

"His entire family is a Taoist believer, and his maternal grandfather once served as the abbot of the Maoshan Taoist Holy Land, so you just told me that he is a Taoist priest, I don't think it's strange at all, you can meet him is your fate. However, so far, including your grandfather, it is not clear whether this is good or bad, but that does not prevent you from making friends with him and doing business. ”

"So, grandpa and my parents know about him?" Song Shaojun asked a little weakly.

Song Yiming nodded: "At present, it seems that this person is not bad in all aspects, judging from his performance in the two batches of antique calligraphy and paintings you sold, your grandfather, your father and I are still relatively relieved." ”

"These two batches of antique calligraphy and paintings, including the national treasure level gold and bronze Buddha statues that have been loaded, in addition to the records in the history books, I have not heard that anyone has seen them, therefore, there is no major hidden danger, you can rest assured to accept it, the only thing that confuses us is the origin of these things."

"After repeated analysis, I feel that there are many possibilities of coming from a certain sect of Taoism, and I believe that he should still have a lot of good things in his hands."

Song Shaojun's mind was a little confused, as if he wanted to say something, but finally closed his mouth.

Song Yiming looked at his watch: "Okay, I have to rush to the airport, tomorrow the Hong Kong company will transfer the full amount to the UBS account you provided, and wait for Xiao Zhu to come back and thank him for me, and you have to remind him to be careful of the revenge of the Lu family." ”

"Why?" Song Shaojun's heart was completely messed up.

Song Yiming smiled bitterly: "Do you know why the kid of the Lu family didn't even look at the injured personal bodyguard, and hurried to the airport to fly back to the capital?" It's because he was frightened by the tough methods of your former bodyguard Xiao Zhu, and it happened at noon yesterday, right under your nose, but you didn't see it. ”

Song Shaojun pondered for a moment and suddenly realized, sitting in the chair in a daze and unable to say a word.

Song Yiming patted his niece on the shoulder: "Girl, don't think too much, you will have more eyes when you encounter people and things in the future!" Okay, I've got to go, you rest, I'll call you when I get home, alas......"
