It takes more than 100 miles to get from the place where Old Man Yang is to the town where I am. The old man said to come early in the morning, I don't think it should be so fast. Sure enough, I waited at the entrance of the town until nine o'clock in the morning, and I didn't even see a single person. Out of boredom, I broke a branch, lit a cigarette, squatted on the ground, and was drawing and studying the layout of Qimen, when a business car stopped not far from me, and then a person got out of the car and walked straight towards me. When I got up and looked at the man, I couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw that this person was wearing a pair of sunglasses, and his black hair was neatly tied. He had a civilized stick in his hand and a thick gold chain around his neck, which swayed as he walked.

"You are..."

This person smiled 'haha', his voice was very familiar, and when he took off his glasses, I recognized it as Mr. Yang...

"Oh my God, you're here—" I pointed.

"How's that, isn't it ten years younger?" The old man clamped the civilization stick and pulled his hair back like Wan Jinshan.

"Not only ten years old, but twenty..."

"Xiao Leng just can talk, unlike my daughter, yesterday I dyed my hair and went back, she said that I became a monster and didn't dare to call my dad..."

I smiled. Not to mention, when this old man is dressed like this, he looks like he is around fifty, and he doesn't look like a sixty-year-old at all.

"It's cold, let's go, go to the car and change your clothes."

"Change of clothes?"

"Well, shirts, trousers, leather shoes and ties, I bought you a whole set, all in the car. Wait for you to drive, be aggrieved, and pretend to be my secretary. When he arrived at the man's house, he saw the opportunity to act. ”

I nodded, smiled helplessly, and couldn't help but think of the situation when I went to the bathing foot city with Uncle Yang...

On the way, Mr. Yang said that in the early days of reform and opening up, the underground antique industry was not as developed as it is now, and at that time, there were not many people outside the country. Perhaps, the person we are going to find at this moment is the one that Xiao Shan brought Wanjin Mountain over and introduced to him. Even if not, through this person, we should be able to get some useful clues...

I drove the car, under the guidance of Mr. Yang, and at one o'clock in the afternoon, we came to an old county town. The street scene of this county town is quaint, the buildings are pleasant, and in the teahouses on the street, there are many old men drinking afternoon tea and playing chess, 'fluttering' and smoking. It adds a kind of casual atmosphere to the county, making people sincerely feel that this is a good place for self-cultivation.

After lunch at a restaurant, we came to a hill in the west of the city, and followed a winding mountain road to a villa area at the top of the hill. There are old and new villas here, come to an old villa located at the end of the villa area, park the car, Mr. Yang looked at the house number through the window, and said, it should be here.

I was about to get up and go down, but Old Man Yang grabbed my arm and whispered, "Xiao Leng." ”

"Huh?"

"Grab the box in the back seat."

As soon as I got in the car, I saw a box in the back seat, which looked very ordinary, sealed with yellow tape, like it was loaded with mountain goods, and I didn't ask. Hearing what Old Man Yang said, I couldn't help asking, what's in the box?

"Hehe...," Old Man Yang smiled, "My friend, something from the Zhen family." ”

The box is not big, but it is quite heavy. I hugged the box, and the two of them got out of the car. Old Man Yang helped his glasses and pulled the gold chain around his neck.

"Uncle, what's this person's surname?"

"The surname is Cao."

I nodded and smiled slightly, "You always stand behind me, I'm the secretary, naturally I'll take the lead..."

With that, I rang the doorbell, and after a while, the door opened, and a maid walked out.

I took off my tie, bowed to the maid, and said, "Hello Auntie, may I ask, is this Boss Cao's residence?" ”

"Yes, you..."

"Oh..." I smiled, took a step back sideways, and pointed at Old Man Yang with my hand, "Trouble Auntie to report it, just say that Boss Yang from afar, something to visit..."

Old Man Yang held the civilization stick with both hands, spread his feet, stood upright, and only nodded slightly, looking full of style, I was secretly amused.

When the maid was gone, I whispered, "How is it, uncle, my secretary, I am still like it?" ”

The old man gave a thumbs up.

After a while, the maid returned, "The boss invites you in..."

The area of this villa is quite large, and there are many trees planted in it, with dense branches and leaves, which gives people a cool feeling. On the lawn on the right, there is a dog cage, and a huge Tibetan mastiff is lying inside, sticking out its fat tongue, and licking its furry legs intently...

When approaching the western-style building, a man of medium stature walked out, about fifty years old, with slightly gray temples, wearing a pair of pajamas, and his expression was lazy.

"Who are you?" The man asked.

"My surname is Yang, may I ask, are you Boss Cao?"

Old Man Yang took off his sunglasses, and I hurriedly bowed down and reached out to take them.

"Yes..."Boss Cao looked at the box I was holding in my other hand, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

"Oh, we..."

Old Man Yang had a smile on his face, but his eyes glanced at the maid behind Boss Cao vigilantly.

"Oh..."Boss Cao turned around, "Aunt Zhang, you go and help me clean up my bedroom." ”

"Boss Cao..."After the maid left, Old Man Yang pointed to the box in my hand and said in a low voice, "I have a good thing..."

This Boss Cao was stunned for a moment, looked at the box again, and then looked at Old Man Yang suspiciously, "What is it?" ”

Old Man Yang smiled, "I pressed a collection at the bottom of the box, and the company's capital turnover has not been able to turn over recently, so I want to dispose of it." However, I don't have a channel, I heard that Boss Cao has a channel, so I specially brought it over for you to see. ”

"Hehe..."Boss Cao smiled, "To deal with the collection, you should find an auction house, or other collectors, Boss Yang has found the wrong person." ”

"Of course not, if it's a regular collection, it's natural to deal with it like that, but my one... It's irregular..."Old man Yang smiled slightly, "Let's put it bluntly, this is a thing that was dug out of the earth's crust many years ago, it is impossible to buy it in China, I have been hiding at the bottom of the box for many years, it is not a last resort, I urgently need money, and I will not take the risk to find Boss Cao..."

Boss Cao frowned slightly, and glanced at the box in my hand again, "When you say that, I really want to take a look..."

Old Man Yang looked around and said, "This thing can't be seen outside, otherwise it's unlucky, let's show it to you in the room." ”

Boss Cao thought for a moment, turned around and said, "Please come in." ”

Old Man Yang glanced at me and beckoned.

Coming to the living room on the second floor, Boss Cao said, "Please take a seat." ”

I put the box on the coffee table, took the civilization stick in Mr. Yang's hand, and quickly stroked the sofa with my other hand, saying, "Boss, sit." ”

Old Man Yang's eyes were not slanted, he sat down on the sofa and raised Erlang's legs.

"Now..."Boss Cao pointed with his finger, "Can you open this box?" ”

"Of course." Old Man Yang smiled and waved his hand, "Xiao Leng, open the box..."

I nodded, removed the keychain, and used the tip of the key to cut the tape. To be honest, I was curious about what was inside the box...'bang', I pulled open the lid of the cardboard box, only to see that it was a bag wrapped in layers of oiled paper. As the oiled paper spreads out, a bronze object is revealed...

This is a small figure made of bronze, with a patina on the surface. Whether it is facial features or clothing, this villain looks weird...

"This..."Boss Cao's eyes were straight, "This thing..."

Old man Yang lit a cigarette, took a puff of cigarette, and said lightly, "Boss Cao should have heard of Sanxingdui..."

I 'chuckled' in my heart, looked at the little man, and said in my heart, Sanxingdui, I know, if this little man is really the same as that era, it is a first-class national treasure, a fetish-level thing...

Boss Cao was a little excited, took a magnifying glass, looked left and right at the villain, and wiped the sweat from his head for a while, "Where did this come from?" ”

"Where did you come from, Boss Cao doesn't care..."Old Man Yang began to take the shelf, "I only ask you, do you have a channel to sell abroad?" If there is, once this thing is sold, the matter of sharing is negotiable. ”

"I'll think about it, so let's..."Boss Cao bit his lip, "You put away your things first, sit and drink tea for a while, I'll make a few calls abroad, and I'll give you an answer when the time comes." ”

"Good..."

After Boss Cao went out, I rewrapped the thing and put it back in the box.

"Uncle, is this thing real or fake?" I asked.

"Of course it's true." Old man Yang said.

"But this... Where did your friend get that? ”

"It's a long story, I'll tell you when I have time, shhh

The maid came in and made us tea.

After sitting like this and drinking tea for a while, Boss Cao walked back.

"How?" Old Man Yang asked.

"I think this thing can be done, but if this thing wants to be poured out, the procedure is a bit troublesome..."Boss Cao looked at his watch, "It's not too early, I have a friend who runs a restaurant, so let's invite you to the restaurant to eat, let's talk in detail while eating, how about it?" ”

"Yes..."

We followed Boss Cao to a restaurant, which mainly deals in snake meals and has a whole snake feast. The private rooms of the restaurant are quite atmospheric, and they are the only kind of cottages that look like a grass hut, and the wooden floors are quite textured. A small pond behind the house, the green bamboo by the pond, the lotus in the pond, looks particularly bright green in the afterglow of the sunset.

The waiter, wearing an ancient young master's hat, used a small porcelain pot to pour each of us a glass of turquoise snake gall wine.

"We're going to talk about things, you go out first," Boss Cao said.

I sat quietly under Old Man Yang and listened quietly. It is the first time I have seen Old Man Yang's ability, intuition, his IQ is not under the Wanjin Mountain. Once you have the initiative, you can easily hold the other person. Keep testing the details of the other party, but don't reveal yourself at all, talk about your own details, and bring it over in a few words. Finally, Old Man Yang mentioned Xiaoshan...

"Xiaoshan?" Boss Cao was stunned.

"Yes," Old Man Yang took a sip of wine and said lightly, "The British Chinese have also been engaged in this industry before. ”

"I don't know..."

I sat on the side and observed the words, judging from the reaction of Old Man Yang to Xiaoshan, this Boss Cao, he must know Xiaoshan...
