On the morning of the fifth day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, Zhang Weixin took Zhao Dawei, Fan Wucheng, Yang Xin, Zeng Zhilin, and Lu Yue as an advance team to set off in advance and go to Liangxiang County to establish a contact point to prepare for the auction half a month later. Qingchen was also called by them, mainly to make it more convenient to deal with the locals. In addition, a shortwave radio, a manpower engine and four batteries were brought for the first long-range communication test.

They drove a few carriages with relevant equipment all the way into Liangxiang City, still living in the Yuelai Inn where they lived last time they entered the city, and still chartered the East Cross Courtyard. The inn's boss Cui was quite welcoming to them, and he knew that these Taoist priests had enough pockets to pay the bills. And the time he stays is usually very long, which makes him a lot of money every time. Therefore, while he asked his men to help carry things, he personally led these Taoist masters into the East Cross Courtyard, and his attitude was very courteous.

Zhang Weixin and the others settled down the things they brought, and after everyone wiped their faces, they began to get busy. Under the guidance of Lu Yue, everyone worked together to set up radios, generators, antennas and other objects. The radio station and generator were housed in a house, and the communication antenna was fixed to the top of a large tree across the yard and connected to the radio station by wires. This can not only ensure the communication effect, but also help to hide people's eyes and ears. After everything was ready to stop, when it came to the time of communication with the Yuxu Palace, Zeng Zhilin was unfortunately selected as the power source of the generator, sat on the bicycle rack specially modified by the science and technology group, stepped on his two powerful thick legs, and continuously delivered the electricity, which opened the prelude to the first long-distance radio communication test in this era.

Lu Yue turned on the power switch of the radio station with a little excitement, and the indicator light and digital display of the radio flashed as in the previous test, indicating that the power supply was normal. Lu Yue put on headphones, adjusted the communication frequency to the pre-agreed value, and made a deep and clear voice into the microphone: "The advance group calls the command center, the advance group calls the command center, please answer when you hear it, please answer when you hear it." ”

Although the waiting time was only a few seconds, for Lu Yue, it seemed that a few hours had passed, and just when he began to get anxious in his heart, Zhong Tao's excited and happy voice came from the earphones: "I am the headquarters, I am the headquarters, the communication effect is very good, the communication effect is very good." In addition to Zhong Tao's voice, Lu Yue also heard cheers, presumably the people from the Yuxu Palace were celebrating the success of the communication. Immediately, the cheers on his side also rang out, although only Lu Yue was wearing headphones, but Zhong Tao spoke very loudly, and everyone could hear some through the headphones. Soon, the cheers on both sides became one, and even Zeng Zhilin, who was pedaling next to him, waved his arms and shouted loudly.

A group of people shouted in the house, making the dust that was sent to guard the courtyard gate inexplicable, I don't know why these uncles are so happy. I wanted to go into the house and ask, but I didn't dare to move the place. That Uncle Zhang had already given him a death order - unless someone in the house told him to go in, he would be at the gate of the courtyard, and no one would be allowed to come in and disturb them. So the poor Qingchen nephew had no choice but to slander those uncles who had good things to share with him, and at the same time looked at the two motionless courtyard doors faithfully.

After a short celebration in the room, calm returned, Zhang Weixin took the headset and microphone from Lu Yue's hand and said a few more words to Wang Kunjun over there, and after agreeing to contact once an hour, he signaled Lu Yue to end the call, and asked Zeng Zhilin and Yang Xin to ensure that one of them stayed next to the radio anytime and anywhere, Zeng and Yang naturally agreed without hesitation. The moment of witnessing history passed, and the others began to carry out the following work step by step. Zhao Dawei and Fan Wucheng, accompanied by Zeng Zhilin, went to Boss Chen of Tianfu Lou and Boss Fang of Fang Kee Jewelry Shop to make preliminary preparations for the decoration of the auction Zuihou, while the others stayed in the inn to rest temporarily.

After lunch at noon, Zhang Weixin, who had nothing to do, lay down on the bed, thinking about his thoughts. After pondering the matter of the auction first, I felt that the business team had arranged it very well, and with the support of the Zhong family and the full cooperation of Boss Fang and Boss Chen, I would definitely be able to achieve a successful result. Then I thought that if the auction was successful, then I would have the first money of my own, and it would be an absolutely large amount of money. After the funding, the development of the team will have a good start and foundation, and then it can be implemented step by step according to the original idea. When the time comes, you can buy a piece of land, build a large mansion, and then start researching various products that will help your team grow. They can also devote themselves to business, open their own shops, and sell their own products, so as to provide corresponding financial guarantees for scientific research work. If this virtuous cycle continues, the development of the team can be called a bright future.

Once the team is on the right track, every member of the team can benefit from it. I don't know what others think, once I Zhang Weixin has a foundation for my career, in addition to making my career go to the next level, the first thing I have to do is to ask for a wife to comfort my lonely soul, and he can be sure that this is also the idea of the vast majority of people in the crowd at this time. Although the vast majority of the people in the team are still singles, and except for Wang Feng, the other singles have not yet shown eagerness in finding a wife, but Zhang Weixin often deals with them to communicate their feelings - this is also the policy that he and Wang Kunjun have set early on, and in the current situation, it is still necessary to win people's hearts - and they still have a good understanding of everyone's psychology.

Before the crossing, many of the team were already married, and even if they weren't married, at least they had girlfriends, and there were not a few who already had children like him. used to be loving husband and wife, hot lovers, and children, but now they have suddenly become lonely, and almost all of them have difficulty adapting for a while. Although the hearts of the people have basically calmed down after many enlightenments, in order to plan for the long term, the personal emotional problems of the team members must be solved. If it is not handled well, it is inevitable that there will be a situation similar to Lin Xiaoyu being scrambled by many people in the team, and once the parties lose control, the consequences will be unimaginable. This matter was indeed a bit difficult to deal with in the previous period of time, everyone almost closed themselves in the Jade Void Palace for the sake of survival, there was very little communication with the outside world, and there was no chance to solve personal problems - Wang Feng was an exception, it can only be said that this kid was super lucky. ,

After the auction is successful, the team has a certain foundation, and when the time comes, they must make suggestions to the committee and try their best to help everyone's emotional problems. At this time, Zhang Weixin couldn't help but start to lust about what kind of wife he was going to find at that time. As a result, somehow, a familiar and unfamiliar figure suddenly came to mind, and after careful consideration, I found that this figure was the Huang Ying'er girl I met in this inn last month.

Thinking of this, he was secretly surprised how he could think of her, and at the same time, he wondered if this yellow girl was still living in this inn. After thinking about it, he shook his head again, and said to himself with some self-deprecation: "What are you kid thinking about, now that this auction has not been held, you have begun to daydream here, it is really in response to the old saying---- full of warm thoughts**." The problem is that you haven't solved the problem of being warm yet, why did you start thinking about it, you really should fight, you should fight. ”

Zhang Weixin lay on the bed again and criticized himself, then got up and walked out of his room, said hello to Yang Xin and Lu Yue, who were guarding the radio, and went shopping with Qingchen. Of course, he didn't go wandering, but mainly went to various restaurants, tea shops, and inns to see if the auction was talked about, so as to understand the extent of the rich people's participation in the matter.

After an afternoon on the street, Zhang Weixin got a good situation, Zhong Yuanwai and Boss Fang's early publicity has achieved good results, and many people in the restaurant and tea shop are talking about this new thing, including some people who are well-dressed and have a lot of money at a glance. Zhang Weixin is very satisfied with this situation and has more confidence in the auction in half a month. Returning to the inn in a happy mood, Sanbao, the shopkeeper who was in the lobby with guests, saw him enter the door, knowing that this was a guest valued by the boss, and at the same time he was also very generous to the guy, so he greeted him with a smile on his face: "Zhang Daochang is back, are you eating dinner in the store, or go out to eat, the little one is good for you." ”

Zhang Weixin smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, my junior brother went to Tianfu Tower to do errands, and he will come back from there with dinner in a while, so I won't bother you." ”

Sanbao heard him say politely, and hurriedly said: "Zhang Daochang is too polite, you live in our store, I will serve myself as a good student, if you have any orders, just say it." ”

Zhang Weixin was also a little tired after walking all afternoon, and he didn't have the heart to chat with people, but after saying a few words to this Sanbao, that beautiful figure somehow appeared in his mind, and after walking two steps from him, a sentence came out of nowhere: "Sanbao, that...... Poor Dao asks you about a person. ”

"Who does Zhang Daochang want to inquire?"

"This ...... When I came here last month, I met a girl from Huang Ying'er, I wonder if she still lives in the West Cross Courtyard? ”

Zhang Weixin regretted this question as soon as he came out, he is now a monk in name, and it seems very inappropriate to inquire about a girl so bluntly. And looking at the strange expression on the face of the three guarantees, you can guess that this guy must be thinking crookedly. He was about to explain, but the third guarantee had already come to his side and whispered, "Daochang Zhang is asking her." It's a pity that the Taoist came a little late, and two days after the Taoist left the inn last month, the yellow girl also settled the account and left. ”

When Zhang Weixin heard this, he felt a little lost for no reason, and when he was about to walk away, he heard the three guarantees say mysteriously: "However, the little one heard the yellow girl mention that she didn't leave the inn to travel far, but she had already let her family buy a house in this Liangxiang county and planned to live for a long time, so she didn't live in the small shop." ”

After Zhang Weixin heard what he said, hope rose in his heart again, but seeing the more and more ambiguous smile on Qingchen's face, he was embarrassed to ask any more, so he had to awkwardly say a few words to Sanbao, rewarded him with a string of money, and hurried back to the room.

On the fifteenth day of October of the lunar calendar, the necessary renovation has been basically completed on the side of Tianfu Building. According to Zhao Dawei's suggestion, the third floor of Tianfu Building was completely rearranged. The entire floor is divided into three areas - the preparation area, the auction area and the bidding area.

The preparation area, separated from the other two areas by partitions, is mainly used to house the lots to be auctioned, which will be protected by the security team 24 hours a day, and will also serve as a place for the rest of the team to rest and deal with various problems during the auction. For security reasons, no one other than team members, Chung and his son, and the owner of Fong Kee Jewellery Factory, are not allowed to enter without the permission of the committee.

The auction area, next to the preparation area, is a small temporary wooden platform, a little higher than the original floor, on which two long tables, one large and one small, are placed. The large ones are for the lots, and the small ones are for the auctioneer, Zhao Dawei. Lots will be displayed and bids will be guided by auctioneers. When the auction is in progress, the security team will also send someone to provide full security next to the long case.

The auction area is the largest area opposite the auction area. Rows of tables and chairs were arranged there for the wealthy and wealthy to sit in the auction. During the auction, they sat here and raised their cards to bid and fight in the dark.

From the fifteenth to the day of the auction on the twentieth, the third floor of Tianfu Tower was completely closed, and no one else would be allowed to go up except for the people of Yuxu Palace, Zhong Jia and Fang Ji.

Zhang Weixin and the others came out of Tianfu Tower, and when they saw that it was almost noon, he asked Zhao Dawei, Fan Wucheng and others to go back to the inn to rest first. Zhao and Fan have been busy these days, tired enough, take advantage of the fact that there is nothing to do today, go back to the inn to rest, and the two of them will be busy in a few days. Zhang Weixin himself only took Zeng Zhilin to the West City Gate, preparing to greet the Yuxu Palace brigade that was scheduled to arrive before noon.

According to Wang Kunjun on the radio, more than half of the team will come over this time, and there will be only seven or eight people left. In particular, the people of the security team, except for Wu Peng and Muttle, everyone else would come over, and the material team took out all the pistols and automatic rifles, and even the side-by-side machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns on the inconvenient tanks, all of which were equipped with specially made brackets in the blacksmith shop in the city, to ensure the safety of personnel and auction items.

Zhang and Zeng walked towards the west gate, chatting and gossiping as they walked. When I passed by a silk shop, I walked face to face with two women who had just come out of the store. The two of them were chatting happily at this time, and they didn't pay attention to the two women, but they just felt that someone was walking opposite them, so they turned sideways slightly, trying to let each other pass. Who knew that the two women suddenly stopped leaving, and one of them said with surprise: "Isn't this Zhang Daochang of the Jade Void Palace, I didn't expect to meet here after not seeing him for many days, what a coincidence." ”,

Zhang Weixin was a little familiar when he heard this voice, and when he looked up, he saw two beautiful and moving young women on the opposite side looking at him with a smile, one of them was the Huang Ying'er girl. A few days ago, I inquired about her whereabouts, and knew that she was still living in the city, but I didn't know the specific address, and I didn't want to meet her so coincidentally today. And the woman next to her is not the little girl named Kite I saw last time, this girl looks a few years older than Huang Ying'er, although her appearance is not as beautiful as Huang Ying'er's, but it is a little more mature and charming, and it also has a unique charm. Zhang Weixin hurriedly said: "It turned out to be Miss Huang, it was indeed a coincidence. As he spoke, he looked at the woman beside Huang Ying'er and asked, "Who is this girl ......?" ”

"This is my cousin, named Liu Yunyan. Who is this Taoist ......? ”

"This is the junior brother of the poor Dao, called Zeng Zhilin."

After the four of them introduced each other, they greeted each other. Huang Ying'er asked again: "When did the Taoist enter the city, how long do you plan to live in the city, or do you still live in the Yuelai Inn, this time there won't be a senior brother who was injured and recuperated in the city, right?" ”

Zhang Weixin listened, and said with a smile: "Miss Huang said that she was joking, how can a poor senior brother always be injured." Poor Dao came to the city this time to do some official business for the Yuxu Palace, and he has been here for a few days, and he still lives in the Yuelai Inn, and it is estimated that he will have to live for several days before he goes back. ”

"Zhang Daochang knows what kind of auction will be held in Fulou in a few days that day, I heard that it is very fresh, and he wants to sell some rare treasures on the spot, and the highest bidder will win. If Zhang Daochang is not in a hurry to go back, he can go and see it when the time comes. ”

"Hehe, Poor Dao is just a little Taoist, how can he have the money to buy those treasures."

"It's just to see a lively scene, although I don't have such a thick net worth to go up to the third floor to participate, but I heard that one or two samples will be exhibited on the second floor before the official auction, and you can go in and visit as long as you spend five hundred dollars, in fact, there are a few people who can really afford those things."

"It's so poor that you can think about it, and if you have time, you can go and see it." Zhang Weixin didn't want to talk to Huang Ying'er about the auction anymore, his level of making up lies was not too high, for fear that he would accidentally leak his mouth, so he changed the topic and asked, "I heard that the girl bought a house in this city?" ”

"Zhang Daochang is really well-informed, the little woman did buy a small courtyard in Jiexiao Lane on South Street. It is not far from Tianfu Tower, if Zhang Daochang goes to Tianfu Tower, the little woman can be a guide. ”

The two of them were talking energetically, and the girl named Liu Yunyan interjected: "Since my sister and this Zhang Daochang are acquaintances, it is better to find a tea shop to sit down and chat slowly, it is not convenient for the four of us to stand on the street and talk." ”

Zhang Weixin wanted to agree when he heard this, but because he still had to pick up Wang Kunjun and them, he had to shirk and said: "This is indeed not a place to talk, but Poor Dao has to go to the city gate to wait for a few senior brothers who arrive later, but I can't accompany the two girls to have a long talk about tea, let's talk about it another day." ”

Huang Ying'er was a little disappointed when she heard him say this, but she didn't look like she was deliberately prevaricating and perfunctory, I was afraid that she really had something to do. So he didn't say anything more, said goodbye to Zhang and Zeng.

Zhang Weixin looked at her back for a while, and didn't wake up until Zeng Zhilin patted him. He wanted to find an excuse to explain, but Zeng Zhilin grabbed ahead of him and said: "This little girl is good, according to Lao Wang, it was Lao Xu who pulled the line at the beginning, and people worship you very much." Although according to Zhong Yuanwai and Liang Ziyue's analysis, she may be a dusty woman. But it should be the kind of Qingqi person who sells his art and doesn't sell his body, and this is not a big problem. I have studied with Liang Ziyue, and I feel that this little girl should not have any unfavorable intentions for the team, and she is definitely an admirer of you, a 'great talent'. It's just that she's eighteen or nineteen years old, and you're already thirty-five, no, you seem to be on your birthday this month, so you should be thirty-six. This age difference is a bit big, Wang Feng's kid is ten years older than the Zhong family's little sister, you are twice as old as other people's little girls, you can be someone's father, this disparity is a bit too big. ”

Zhang Weixin was so angry with his words that his nose almost crooked, what did this kid say. I just met and chatted with each other for a few words, when did I say that I had feelings for this yellow girl. And Miss Huang is only interested in "her own" poems, so why did he get involved in the relationship between men and women. Zhang Weixin said angrily: "You kid shut up, it's okay to talk like this again, be careful that I suggest to the committee that I won't let you go out of the Jade Void Palace again in the future." ”

Zeng Zhilin had no color at all about his "threat", but said with a more ambiguous expression: "Hehe, I told me the central matter." Brother is thinking about you, what's the urgency of this. Besides, if Wang Feng is allowed to find a little girl, you will not be allowed to find a little girl. It doesn't matter if the age difference is bigger, there are still eighty-two married twenty-eight in our era, and you don't have to care about this these days, I was just joking. ”

Zhang Weixin saw that the more he talked, the more unscored, and the more he explained, the more chaotic he would become, so he ignored him, turned around and went straight to the west city gate. Zeng Zhilin didn't care, he followed him with a smile, but he was thinking about how to talk to Wang Kunjun in his heart, and he made this beautiful thing of a talented and beautiful woman. He's not actually a gossip person, and he's so concerned about this matter entirely for the rest of the team. Now that the ratio of men and women in the team is seriously imbalanced, it is an inevitable choice for singles to find a contemporary woman as a partner. It's just for safety reasons, although there is a precedent for Wang Feng, but his situation is a special case, and the little sister of the Zhong family is not representative because of her special identity, so the people in the team still have some concerns about this. If Zhang Weixin's matter can be promoted, and he will get off to a good start, the rest of the team will not look ahead. Of course, the relevant review procedures still have to be carried out, and this Huang girl must also be investigated in detail.
