The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

　　 Zhang Nan knows the address of Zhang Li’s current residence, but will not go there for the time being: she cannot go home before eight o’clock tonight, and is recording a program on CCTV.

　　 "Dream of Red Mansions" is too hot, so hot that the protagonists can't touch the ground, it's a bit unreasonable!

First made a call to the house and left the communication method; at two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Nan, who had changed his clothes, saw that it was still early, so he called the main station, and the one called Weng Qianhui was the one who answered the call. front desk.

　　 After a while, Zhang Nan went downstairs to go through the car rental formalities at the front desk and got the key to the Mercedes Benz.

　　 rented a car and drove it by himself. The hotel gave him two choices: Santana and Mercedes-Benz 230E. Zhang Nan did not hesitate to choose the latter.

　　 There are more high-end cars in the hotel, but if it is a higher-end Mercedes-Benz 500se, it must be equipped with a full-time driver, and guests cannot drive by themselves.

　　 The Santana at this meeting had four forward gears, and Zhang Nan didn't feel comfortable driving.

　　 As for Mercedes-Benz, it goes without saying. The Mercedes-Benz in the 1980s was also comfortable to drive, although the rent was a lot more expensive than Santana.

　　 This car is not bad, it's quite new, it's very popular on the streets of Beijing today, it's an imported luxury car! But Zhang Nan knew that this car was not imported at all, but assembled in China.

　　 This is an industry secret that few people know!

　　 Many people think that the first mid-to-high-end car assembled in China is the Audi 100. In fact, before Audi, Mercedes-Benz has a history of assembly and production in FAW.

　　 In the beginning of 1984, according to the task of assembling the Mercedes-Benz 200 and 230E mid-to-high-end cars by the State Economic Commission, the first Mercedes-Benz cars assembled by China CKD (completely dismantled) rolled off the production line at the FAW factory.

　　 Actually, this model was discontinued in Germany in 1983, but it is still a good car.

　　 FAW assembled a total of 828 W123 series. Several models of Mercedes-Benz W123 series are strictly speaking the first imported cars assembled in China.

　　 Assembling high-end Mercedes-Benz cars is a major event in the history of China's automobile industry, but due to various factors at the time, "domestic-made" Mercedes-Benz cars have been kept secret, and Mercedes-Benz, which exported these CKD-assembled Mercedes-Benz cars to China, also remained silent on this.

　　 Although both Mercedes-Benz and FAW did not talk about the introduction of this car, in fact, this batch of the earliest domestically produced Mercedes-Benz still had a great influence until the early 1990s!

　　 On the streets of Beijing at that time, you can almost see all the Mercedes-Benz models from the 1940s to the 1990s, and the entire Mercedes-Benz museum. The most common is the Mercedes-Benz 230E.

　　 The mailbox was full. Zhang Nan sat in the driver's seat holding a map of the capital and studied it for ten minutes, compared it with the capital in the 1990s in his mind, and then drove out.

　　 There are not many trolleys on Jingcheng Street. There are more types of buses, as well as parallel carriages and mule carts.

　　 Zhang Nan remembers that until 1999, the scene of the parallel bus and the brick mule on the Second Ring Road of Beijing still appeared. It was an interesting one.

In many places in the south, those animal carts were basically invisible by the end of the 1980s. The BR County was planning to cancel the large livestock market in the county seat. The basic transportation capacity was replaced with extremely simple and deafening handhelds. tractor.

　　 Which one has more China Antiques?

　　 Don’t ask, it must be the capital!

　　 drove directly to Liulichang, where the Beijing Cultural Relics Store is located.

　　 Don't worry, don't scan the goods!

Liulichang Street is located outside Hepingmen and originated in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, most of the people who came to Beijing to take the imperial examinations lived in this area. Therefore, there are many shops selling books, ink, paper and ink, forming a strong cultural atmosphere. .

　　 This will be Liulichang to the north and south Liuxiang in XC District in the west, and Yanshou Street in XC District in the east, with a total length of about 800 meters.

　　 An official kiln was opened here during the Yuan Dynasty to burn glazed tiles. Since the construction of the inner city in the Ming Dynasty, the scale of the official kiln has been enlarged due to the construction of the palace, and the Liulichang has become one of the five major factories of the imperial court at that time.

However, after the construction of the outer city in the 32nd year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty, this place became the capital city. Liulichang was not suitable for making kilns in the city, and moved to Liuliqu Village in the current MTG district. However, the name "Liulichang" It has been preserved and passed down to this day.

　　 In 1987, the business of antiques in Liulichang was basically the subordinate departments of the Beijing Cultural Relics Store.

　　 Zhang Nan just wandered around when he arrived there, and he didn't have much desire to buy: This will be the various shops in Liulichang that belong to the cultural relics store, and the contents are divided into "in-house purchases" and "outsourcing purchases."

　　The internal purchase part is sold to various cultural preservation units and research institutions, and it is not meant to be sold to ordinary Chinese people. And "outsourcing" does not mean just selling to foreigners, it means selling to foreigners.

　　 Obviously, what Zhang Nan can buy is only out-shopping.

Just moved the best part of the largest cultural relics store in the entire Far East to a polished egg. Zhang Nan is temporarily not interested in moving the Liuli Factory~www.wuxiaspot.com~ so she swayed and bought a new ivory. Carved hollow rotating ornamental ball with dragon and phoenix patterns.

　　 Nothing similar was found when I bought ivory products in Shanghai. It is 13 cm in diameter, and the inner and outer layers are overlapped, exquisite and transparent.

　　 The craftsmanship is superb!

　　The surface layer is carved with dragon and phoenix patterns and hundred-flower brocade patterns. There are about forty layers of hollow **** from the outside to the inside. Each layer of the ball can rotate freely and is carved with exquisite flower decorations!

　　40 floors!

　　 How delicate this is!

The base of the ornamental ball is both carved from ivory, and the middle and bottom are carved with double dragons playing bead patterns: using top-notch carving techniques, the ball and the ball are originally an entity. It is easy to carve the outer sphere, but it takes layers to engrave to the inner layer. The layers are stripped, and the operating space is limited, which is extremely difficult!

　　 has unique skills and a very long carving time, which embodies the superb skills of traditional Chinese dental carving. It is a rare piece of dental carving!

　　 And it's not big, easy to carry, let's talk about it after buying it.

　　 went back to the hotel and tried to contact Zhang Li again, but he was still busy for a while.

　　 ran to the revolving restaurant on the 29th floor at dinner time, and had a buffet with a breath of breath. But looking at the night view of Chang'an Avenue, my mood seemed to be better again.

　　 But it was more than eight o'clock in the evening, and after waiting for half an hour in front of the CCTV station, Zhang Liren saw him, but his mood got worse!

I was thinking about going to Xijiang after two days with Zhang Li, but Zhang Li told him a very depressing news: Tomorrow afternoon, half of the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" will visit Xiangjiang-where "Dream of Red Mansions" will also be released. , Is also popular ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Book friends are welcome to visit and read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all at ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ mobile phone users, please go to read.
