Chapter 63: Happily busy
Moreover, Jin Daya judged that Mr. Long would definitely decorate the Huo family courtyard house in the next step to restore its original appearance. So, Jin Daya immediately asked someone to inquire and learned that this courtyard house was the residence of Huo Xiaotian and his wife Liu Yue, as well as their two children.
At the same time, Jin Daya also learned that ten years ago, the Huo Group suffered a catastrophe, Huo Xiaotian and his wife committed suicide by jumping off the building, and the whereabouts of the two children are unknown.
So, Jin Daya speculated that Mr. Long must have a relationship with the Huo family, and may be a very close relative. Mr. Long must have a deep affection for the Huo family's courtyard house, so he bid for it at all costs.
So, Jin Daya got the original picture of the Huo family's courtyard ten years ago and gave it to Huo Long. Jin Daya said that it was an honor to meet Mr. Long, and if he was not suspicious, he was very much looking forward to making friends with Mr. Long.
Huo Long didn't expect the other party to be so attentive, and when he took the original picture of the Huo family's courtyard house, he was not only moved. Brick by brick, grass by tree, exactly the same as ten years ago.
Jin Daya said that he had been in the antique business for many years, and he had a lot of experience in restoring old things, and if Mr. Long trusted me, I was very willing to help Mr. Long restore the Huo family courtyard to its original state.
Huo Long agreed, and he said to Jin Daya, if you can restore the Huo family's courtyard to its original appearance, you can say whatever you want. Jin Daya said, Mr. Long said this to look down on me Jin Daya, don't mention money, vulgar, to be able to make a friend like Mr. Long, my Jin Daya is already a blessing in three lives.
Just do it, just like that, under the Zhang Luo of Jin Daya, the restoration project of the Huojia courtyard began.
Tong Xiaowu had already secretly gone to the airport to arrange the four helpers sent by the international mercenary organization and let them be on standby at any time. He didn't dare to tell Huo Long about this, for fear that the other party would criticize him.
"Little Wu, you hand me that brick."
Huo Long stood on the roof, rolled up his sleeves, and instructed Tong Xiaowu, who was in the courtyard below, who was talking to the mud.
"Okay!"
Tong Xiaowu raised his hand, and a green brick flew to the roof with the sound of the wind.
And Huo Long is lightly in his hands.
In another part of the courtyard, I saw Jin Daya directing the master of the decoration, get it here, get it there.
There are also strong and powerful iron towers, moving bricks, mud, and furniture, and they are busy with sweat and joy.
……
Such a rare scene.
Such a harmonious scene.
If someone from the International Mercenary Organization, or someone in that bloodthirsty world, saw Huo Long standing on the roof of the house laying bricks and tiles, he would definitely be surprised to close his mouth.
Is this the god-like man?
Is this the devil-like man?
Huo Long, on the other hand, was happily busy.
The breeze blew, and the leaves of the old elm tree in the yard rattled, and it was a cheerful and relieved laughter.
After three days of intense busyness, the Huo family's courtyard finally recovered to its appearance for ten years.
In order to congratulate, Tong Xiaowu brought a square table and placed it in the courtyard. Jin Daya specially asked people to bring wine and food from the Emperor Building, and several people ate and drank, all of them were very happy.
After a few glasses of wine, Jin Daya asked Huo Long, "Brother Long, did you notice anything wrong with the embroidered shoes I gave you?" ”
"Nothing out of the ordinary." Huo Long replied.
Since returning from the auction, Huo Long put the original version of "Beihai Historical Records" given to him by Miao Ruolan, that is, the strange stone slab, and jade embroidered shoes, in the residence of the Furama Hotel. For a few days, Huo Long didn't notice anything wrong.
"In the middle of the night, Brother Long, did you hear a woman's cry?"
"Nope."
"Never?"
"Yes."
"Hey, that's weird..."Jin Daya thought thoughtfully, and suddenly, he slapped his thigh, "Ah, why didn't I think of it, the dragon brothers eat yin and yang, and the ghosts naturally don't dare to do anything." ”
After speaking, he picked up his wine glass, toasted Huo Long, and said, "In half a month, the Western Cultural Relics Protection Center will open." In the future, I will have to rely on Brother Long to help me a lot. ”
"Western Cultural Heritage Conservation Center? What do you mean? Without waiting for Huo Long to speak, Tong Xiaowu preemptively asked the first question.
"Oh, that's the case, don't I have two good brothers who went to work abroad, and over the years, they have gotten a lot of good things, and almost all of them have been airlifted to me. Of course, there are some inconvenient sends, for fear of bumping into them, so they will temporarily put them in a foreign country, and bring them back together when they return to China..."
"After a long time, the two brothers sent more and more things, all of them are good treasures, I can't put them at home, I have to sell them. So, I opened an antique shop..."
After Jin Daya explained, everyone understood.
It turned out that Jin Daya's two friends Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan, who touched Jin, were angry that those guys set fire to the garden and robbed a large number of treasures. In order to recover the losses, they went to the hometown of the guys who participated in the arson and became underground workers.
In this way, the two slept during the day and worked at night, reversing black and white, and working hard in another country. When they were leaving, they said to Jin Daya that all the hometowns of all the participants had to go and all of them had to be cleaned. Jin Daya persuaded the two of them, it's almost enough, don't do too much. The two verbally agreed, but since they went to work, they were out of control, and the more they worked, the more energetic they became. I've long forgotten what Jin Daya said.
Of course, the dug up treasure could not be placed in a foreign country, so Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan sent the things back for Jin Daya to keep.
Later, the two of them were in full swing of work, and more and more things were sent back, and Jin Daya's home was almost unable to let go. Jin Daya discussed with the two captains who touched the gold whether to open an antique shop and sell things.
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan immediately agreed, Hu Bayi said, open an antique shop, exchange things for silver, and after the two of us finish our work, go back to be chic.
Wang Kaixuan suggested that it is best to sell these things to foreigners, after all, they are things left by their ancestors, and it is best to return them to their original owners, who made me Wang Kaixuan kind.
Wang Kaixuan's suggestion was unanimously approved by the three people. After pondering, Jin Daya gave the antique shop a name: "Western Cultural Relics Protection Center." ”
Tong Xiaowu touched his head and said he didn't understand, "It's obviously something stolen from someone else?" How did it become a conservation center? ”
"This, Tong Daxia, you don't know anything."
Jin Daya smiled, "These antiques come from the hometown of foreigners, let's sell them blatantly, so that foreigners can see them, what will they think?" You can't fight with us yet. Therefore, we need to change the name, after this name, the origin of these things has changed, they are not dug out of the grave of their ancestors, but we have worked hard to find them from all over the world..."
"In this way, the foreigners will be grateful to us. Not only will they not bargain with you, but they will even add more money. ”
Tong Xiaowu clapped his hands and applauded, "Interesting and interesting." On the day of the opening, Lao Jin, you informed me, I went to see a lively scene. Then, he turned his head and asked Huo Long, "Brother Long, are you going?" ”
"If you have time, of course."
Huo Long smiled slightly. In business, marketing strategy is very important, and Jin Daya's idea of fooling foreigners is very interesting, and it can't help but make Huo Long a little interested.
As soon as he heard that Huo Long was willing to give a cheer, Jin Daya became excited, he took a sip of the wine in the glass, and showed off with the wine, "It's not that my Jin Daya is bragging for my two brothers, Hu Bayi's kung fu of recognizing the stars and identifying tombs is a stunt on the verge of being lost in the world, and I am planning to ask someone to go through the procedures for applying for the World Heritage Site..."
"I have a special secret room for the treasures sent by Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan from abroad. Now, the house is almost full..."
"There are all kinds of things used by foreigners, and it is enough to see that there is too much difference between Eastern and Western cultures. Many things, as soon as I get my hands on them, I know they are worth a lot of money, but I don't understand what to do. For example, among the things that my two brothers sent me last year, there was such an object, which was not stunned, like a mallet, made of white jade from country F, with a history of no less than 1,000 years..."
"I have some knowledge, but I don't understand what it is. Later, a colleague said to me that this thing is a man's yang root, a symbol of masculinity, and a part of Western X culture..."
When Jin Daya said this, he sighed and said with emotion, "It is said that the people of country F are romantic, and I really saw it this time." Dare to be affectionate, people from country F have been romantic since they beat their ancestors, and they have all inherited it into their genes. ”
Tong Xiaowu laughed and patted Jin Daya's shoulder, "Old Jin, you are wrong." It's not just people in country F who are romantic, in fact, the East also likes romance. It's just that the way of romance is different. ”
Seeing that Jin Daya was puzzled, Tong Xiaowu enlightened him, "For example, take Lao Jin as an example, are you romantic?" ”
"This..."
Jin Daya grinned, "Who didn't have a young age, of course he was romantic when he was young." However, when I got old, I didn't have that mind. ”
"Don't you want to be old when you're old, in fact, you want to be old too. It's just that you're out of the power now. Tong Xiaowuyi said seriously,
"So, both Westerners and Orientals like romance. The difference is that Westerners are romantically bold and direct. And the Oriental prefers to be subtle, in other words, called sullen. For example, Lao Jin, you said that this thing that your friend sent you, people from country F dare to carve this, do you say that we Orientals dare, of course we don't dare, who dares to make this thing, and it will not be immediately deducted as a big hat of a hooligan. ”
After Tong Xiaowu finished speaking, he turned his face to look at the tower with a smile, "Iron tower, did you say?" ”
Tie Ta was listening to it with a stupid face, and when he saw Tong Xiaowu suddenly ask himself, he smiled and touched his head with his hand, "There is that thing, I really didn't expect it..."
