410 An orchid
This result was really unexpected by Lin Yi.
When he heard Uncle Wang say the name "Lu Qinzhai" just now, he could already judge that the Lu family was inextricably linked with the 'Purple Marquis'.
After listening to the old man tell the ins and outs of the "Zhaoling Six Horses Theft Case", it can basically be concluded that their Lu family was an important member of the 'Purple Marquis' back then.
Rooted in China, the commercial territory expanded to Europe and the United States, and hundreds of thousands of Chinese cultural relics were exported through his hands.
It is said that the cultural relics that flowed out of the Forbidden City were basically all covered by him, and the last one was sold overseas.
The West calls him the "Godfather of Oriental Antiques".
The most important thing is that the Lu family is good at drilling camps, can eat both black and white, and once sponsored "Xinhai", until the early fifties of the last century, his cultural relics smuggling and international trade were interrupted, and the domestic source of cultural relics was cut off.
The business could not continue, so he went to Europe at home, and finally died in a foreign country.
Unexpectedly, thirty years later, his grandson Lu Yulin actually returned to Huaxia and was ready to resume his old business.
When they came back this time, they were cautious in their trading, and they did not dare to receive the goods directly in Shangjing and other places, but chose to take a detour from the surrounding cities to explore the rumors.
This exploration found Wang Xiangfu here.
"Even after I just started Pandao, I knew that I was a peer, and I was in contact with it a little bit, starting with some small objects, in fact, I just wanted to set it up, and wanted to know if I had any big goods here.
Later, I slowly became acquainted, and when I mentioned the incident of the glaze factory, I reported to my home, and this old boy was shocked.
He really didn't expect that he would be able to meet the guy of 'Wengu Zhai' in Cangzhou, and then he began to make friends, and I heard the word 'Ziyihou' from his mouth. ”
"Do you remember what he said?"
"Of course, I remember that he told me that 'Ziyihou' is not a person, it is a multinational organization, and the procedures for joining are very complicated and cumbersome, and behind it, there are tens of thousands of buyers around the world.
The eyes of the 'Purple Cloth Hou' have been focused on Asia, Africa, South America and other places. ”
"The birthplace of an ancient civilization?"
Bai Lu reacted instantly.
The places that these people are staring at, whether it is the Chinese civilization in East Asia, the Bharat civilization in South Asia, the Lianghe civilization in Central Asia, the Nile civilization in Africa and the Mayan civilization in South America, are all important birthplaces of human civilization and important areas for the production of cultural relics.
"The 'Purple Marquis' will look for a stable agent in various important areas, for example, the agent they found before is Lu Qinzhai.
However, I feel that Lu Yulin, this guy, should not have mixed up with his status as a bastard grandfather, he can only be regarded as an errand runner, and there are still people above him.
I guess he wanted to pull me into the gang back then, just to get close to me, so he didn't pick up his stubble at all.
At that time, he gave me a list and asked me if I could get the things on it, and at that time the market had just been fully opened, and many people were still afraid to take out the good things, so I was also more conservative and didn't dare to say anything to death.
However, as long as I have the real thing, I can make one out and hand it over to Lu Yulin to deal with the errand.
Our business has lasted for more than three years and there have never been any problems. ”
"Then why did you cut off contact again?"
"Lu Yulin, this old boy is missing."
"Missing?"
"Well, we have always been in one-line contact with each other, and at that time, we fixed every Monday afternoon at one o'clock in the afternoon, going to the telephone building to make a phone call, and the content was basically an incision in our line.
The main thing is to discuss the delivery and receipt of goods.
If he doesn't call on Monday, he will go again at 11 o'clock on Wednesday morning, and if he doesn't have a letter, he can only wait until 3:30 p.m. on Friday.
I haven't been able to get a call for a few times, so I don't have to go anymore, I just waited in the shop for him to come to me.
As a result, I didn't hear from him for two weeks, and I didn't see him again.
From this point on, my dealings with the 'Purple Clothed Hou' ended here. ”
"Is there anyone behind you who is looking for trouble?"
"That's not true, but before you decide to cooperate with them, they will definitely take advantage of your shortcomings and force you to cooperate, and you can't cooperate without cooperation."
"What about you."
Bai Lu was about to open his mouth to ask, but was stopped by Lin Yi in time.
Since it can be Uncle Wang's shortcomings, how can he tell others casually? What's the difference between that and "self-detonation"?
Bai Lu also immediately realized that he had broken his promise, and did not continue to ask.
"Brother Bai's business should be doing well now, right? Otherwise, you can't be targeted by the 'Purple Marquis', and you must have some shortcomings that they have taken hold, right? ”
Hearing him ask, Lin Yi immediately thought of the pair of embroidered shoes that were taken away from the auction house by the Feng family.
Now it can be more and more certain that the Feng family has a very close connection with the "Purple Marquis".
"Yes, the point is that we don't know what they want us to do, or how they want us to cooperate. We are in the light, they are in the dark, and they always feel unsteady in their hearts. ”
"Don't worry, now they don't have to be more careful in everything they do than they did back then, they have always been very cautious.
But now that you've found me, you don't have to worry about anything, if they want to 'order', you just have to look for it, and after you find it, you can bring it to me, I haven't 'cooked' for many years, and I have long wanted to show my hands. ”
"Really? That's great! ”
Lin Yi never expected that this trip to Cangzhou was just to inquire about some corner news, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain.
But the old man almost knows everything about them now, and they still have something to hide, and they always feel a little uncomfortable.
"Actually, us."
"No, I'm not good at asking about other people's affairs. Don't ask me how to make real objects in this 'crippled' craft, and I won't inquire about your details, aside from the friendship between me and Brother Bai, we are in a buying and selling relationship.
I can say that in the front, my fee is not cheap, and you have seen the materials.
If you need it, just come and find it. ”
The old man is worthy of being a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, and he is bright in doing things.
"Well, since you said so, then I can't say anything more. Thank you for telling us so much about the past of the glaze factory today, and so many unknown details.
By the way, when you first dealt with Lu Yulin, did you hear him talk about what this 'Purple Marquis' represents?
Why did you come up with such a name? ”
"Hey, you asked the right person, I really asked at the beginning, Lu Yulin, the old boy, told me that he only knew that 'Ziyihou' was the name of an orchid.
But there are many people around me who raise orchids, and no one has ever heard of them, let alone cultivated this variety of orchids. ”
The last update of the month is presented, I wish you all a happy National Day in advance!
