Song Haowen didn't have time to think about it, he ran away, completely forgetting to rein in his edge, like a rocket under his feet, as fast as lightning, a distance of 100 meters, and it was there in an instant. When he crossed the line, the other competitors had not yet run a third of the way, so that the referee did not react for a moment and forgot to press the meter. When the referee reacted, the other runners had already run most of the distance, and immediately pressed the stopwatch. In this way, the stopwatch showed a time of 9.9 seconds, breaking the national record.

According to Song Haowen's previous life, the Chinese people ran into the 10-second mark for the first time in the 100 meters, and they had to wait for 35 years; The latest world record of 9.58 seconds will not be set until 29 years later.

Song Haowen's 100-meter result came out, which immediately caused a sensation in the whole school, although the result of 9.9 seconds has been proud of the whole country and the whole of Asia, but everyone still does not believe that this is his real result. Because thousands of people on the scene witnessed his lightning-fast straightening performance, a few yards and three times faster than the second-place finisher, and the second-place time was 12.2 seconds, according to this ratio, his 100-meter time should be less than four seconds.

Suddenly, the audience was indignant about Song Haowen's achievements, and until the end of the award and commendation conference, the teachers and students of the school were still arguing about it. However, for Song Haowen, he didn't take this matter too seriously, he only knew that he had once again set a 100-meter school record, won the high jump, long jump and 100-meter sprint three championships, and also won the title of the best male athlete in the school games.

went down to the class and went up to the school, and they all celebrated Song Haowen's achievements. Later, the National Sports Commission was alarmed, and experts were sent to the school to understand the situation, but unfortunately there was no video at that time, and no one could explain it clearly; The referee on duty refused to admit that he made a mistake, and Song Haowen himself only said that he had an accidental convulsion, and the results were not serious, and he refused to arrange a test for him. As a result, the matter became a headless public case, causing an uproar in public opinion, and it was not until a few months later that the attention gradually decreased.

After the sports meeting, Song Haowen continued to focus on electrical stores. At the same time, he continued to learn from the school's experts in cultural relics and jewellery, and tried to recycle antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and Ming and Qing dynasty homes.

At this time, the Gem Identification Center and the School of Archaeology and Museums of Jingjing University had not yet been established, and the experts of the former were concentrated in the Department of Geology, and the experts of the latter were concentrated in the Department of History. Song Haowen invited a few masters who had instructed him from each of these two departments to dinner, and by the way, invited them to visit his newly purchased courtyard, and only told them that it was a friend's house, and did not dare to say that he bought it himself, and asked them to see if the furniture and furnishings were valuable.

After several masters looked at it, they confirmed that most of the furniture in the second courtyard was made of pear blossom wood and sour branch wood, which was very valuable; The furniture in the Sanjin courtyard, as the landlord said, belongs to the mahogany works of the late Qing Dynasty, and they all have a certain collection value. This relieved Song Haowen and proved that the original owner did not deceive him and told the truth.

Song Haowen had a bottom in his heart, and while pasting advertisements for high-priced recycling of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, and Ming and Qing dynasty home furnishings at the mouth of the sales department, he asked Qian Youlai to install a billboard with this content on the tricycle.

The risk of recycling private collections is very high, and the probability of hitting the hole is much greater than that of the leak, and there are many professional households who tie the donkey, specializing in the implementation of old deception, so Song Haowen had to personally handle the recycling, if he missed, he thought he was unlucky, and he couldn't complain about others. But he also has classes on weekdays, so he recalls the collection time to Saturday and Sunday.

On the first Saturday morning when the acquisition began, there were a lot of customers in the store, most of whom came to check the situation and ask about the market, and none of them actually sold the collection. Faced with this situation, Song Haowen was not in a hurry and patiently answered each customer's questions. Because he studied art before and did a lot of homework, he is not timid, just like a small collecting expert.

In the afternoon, a middle-aged man dragged a pair of Ming-style mahogany Taishi chairs on a flatbed truck, saying that they were handed down from his ancestors and had a history of hundreds of years. Song Haowen asked the other party to put the wooden chair in the living room, and observed it carefully, and found that the wooden chair was generally made, although the material was mahogany, it belonged to the ordinary new mahogany that was artificially introduced and cultivated, and the production age would not exceed 30 years, which was not very valuable.

Song Haowen told the other party his conclusion, but the other party bullied him young and did not accept it, but taught him a lesson and criticized him for not knowing the goods. It is said that his Taishi chair is a Ming Dynasty furniture, which has been handed down for more than ten generations, and is made of fine rosewood, which is an authentic old antique.

Song Haowen didn't want to argue with the man, so he asked the man how much he bid. The man was a little disdainful and said, "You called the parents, I don't want to talk about business with your children." ”

Song Haowen was blushed by the other party, and was about to open his mouth to defend himself, when Wang Li interjected: "Comrade, he is the manager of our store, and he has the final say." ”

The man snorted, a little unconvinced, but he still said the price. "Five hundred dollars a pair. Do you want it? ”

Song Haowen sneered. "Do you really want to sell this chair as an ancient understanding? Thirty yuan, sell it, don't sell it and drag it away. ”

The man's face immediately turned black and red, and he said angrily: "Your shop is too black-hearted, how can there be such a bargain in business?" ”

"Thirty yuan, but a lot of people's wages a month. Your chair is not suitable for food, and it is not too beautiful, and it can only be used as a miscellaneous wooden chair at home. You don't think it's a lot of money, but I think it's expensive. ”

The man immediately debated with Song Haowen, Song Haowen knew it, did not hurry, slowly bargained, and finally sold it for 40 yuan. In this way, Wang Li and Qian Youlai still thought it was expensive.

Next, a few more businesses came to the door, including magnets, calligraphy and paintings, all of which were contemporary anonymous works, and Song Haowen didn't like these and confiscated them. He didn't want to turn his home into a recycling depot.

The next day, a lean man with sharp eyes came to the store, saying that he had brought a sword of King Wu from the Spring and Autumn Period, which had been handed down by his ancestors, and offered 10,000 yuan. When Song Haowen heard this, he was taken aback, and said in his heart, if this sword is real, it is a priceless treasure. There was a poem that praised: "At that time, King Wu's sword was sharpened and cracked into the rock." "According to legend, the most famous Wu Wang Jian and Yue Wang Jian are a pair, also known as Gan Jiang and Mo Ye.

Song Haowen took the sword of King Wu with suspicion, and sure enough, the sword was made of bronze, with a slender body, intact and extremely sharp. There were also dozens of inscriptions cast on the sword, which he couldn't quite understand.

Although Song Haowen has studied with university archaeologists and has seen several pictures of Wu Wangjian, he has never seen the sword in front of him, and he can't be sure of its authenticity for a while. He said that if the sword was real, the store would buy it, but he would just have to find an expert to identify it.

The other party refused, saying, I vouch for this sword in the name of my parents, and it is absolutely true. But I don't want too many people to know about the existence of this sword, otherwise, if you don't buy it, it will be dangerous for me to hold it in my hand.

Song Haowen communicated with the other party for more than half an hour, but the other party still refused to let go, which made him suspicious, worried about the authenticity of this sword, and worried about its origin. It doesn't matter if you spend unjust money, at most it will be a lesson, I'm afraid that the other party is touching the captain of Jin or the gentleman of Liang, then the problem will be big, and if you don't handle it well, you may be implicated and get into a lawsuit.

The other party was a little impatient and said, if I don't rush to spend money, I won't sell this priceless treasure if I kill me. If you are worried that the sword will come from an unknown source, as long as you buy it, I will provide your identification and write a guarantee.

Song Haowen saw that the other party said this, and felt a little relieved, so he repaid the price with the other party. Because he was afraid of being deceived, therefore, the price was very low. The two sides came and went, the price was from 10,000 to 5,000, from 5,000 to 2,000, and then from 2,000 to 800, and finally when Song Haowen was going down, the other party no longer agreed, saying, you really don't want to buy, I won't sell it.

Song Haowen felt that if he spent 800 yuan to buy a fake, it would be too wrong. However, he intuitively felt that this sword was an ancient sword, and he would regret it if he didn't buy it. was struggling, Qian Youlai, Wang Li, Zhu Hongyu and Na Renhua all came to persuade him not to buy bronzes, there are a lot of fakes here. said, even if it is really an ancient sword, if it is nameless, it is not worth so much money.

Seeing that the price could not be negotiated, the other party was quite disappointed, put away the sword, and was about to leave. When Song Haowen saw this scene, his head was hot, and he suddenly burst out with a gambling spirit, and said in his heart, let's just buy a lesson with 800 yuan. At that moment, he ignored the advice of several colleagues in the store, and bought the sword head-on, in order to prevent the other party's things from being dirty, he copied the name and address from the other party's household registration book, and asked the other party to sign a guarantee and press the fingerprint.

Seeing the other party's figure walking farther and farther down the street until it disappeared, Song Haowen's heart suddenly pinched up inexplicably. He didn't care about the complaining eyes of Zhu Hongyu and the four of them, carefully wrapped the sword, and then ran directly to the school to find Professor Zheng Gang, an archaeological expert who lived in the professor's building, to verify the authenticity of the ancient sword.

Professor Zheng Gang was in his early forties, and he was already a well-known archaeological expert at home and abroad, when he saw the ancient sword in Song Haowen's hand, he was stunned for a moment, hurriedly took the ancient sword, put it on the desk very carefully, and then turned on the lamp, picked up a magnifying glass, and observed it carefully.

Song Haowen saw that Professor Zheng Gang was so cautious, his heart suddenly beat wildly, and he quickly took his breath and stared intently at the other party's eyes, wanting to get accurate information as soon as possible.

After about half an hour, Professor Zheng took his eyes off the sword and raised his head to look at Song Haowen. Professor Zheng hadn't been looking at the sword for too long, but Song Haowen felt like a century had passed. During this time, Professor Zheng Gang repeatedly observed the sword body, tapped it gently, and wrote down the inscriptions on the sword one by one.

"Where did you get this sword?"

"Someone just sold it to me." Song Haowen briefly explained the process of buying the sword just now.

Professor Zheng Gang listened to Song Haowen's words, was stunned for a while, and said: "You are so young, you dare to take such a risk, don't you know how deep the water in the collection is?" ”

Song Haowen smiled bitterly. "It's my first time collecting a lot, so I should spend money to buy a lesson."
