The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

The cultural relics store in Yongcheng is of course not comparable to the Liulichang in Beijing and the cultural relics store in Shanghai, but they are still in scale. As a trade port with a long history, there are a lot of goods here, and many of the cultural relics for sale are very distinctive.

But this time Zhang Nan was here to be a small attendant, and he didn't care about everything else, just as a spectator.

At noon, the cultural relics store leader is away, and the exhibition hall has to call up the part of the painting and calligraphy inventory that belongs to him. This process is very smooth: anyway, it is stored separately, and the documents are compared with each other, and it will be done in an hour!

They are all stacked in the last row of seats and the vehicle body of the tool cart—this is a tool vehicle that looks weird and looks a bit like a boat. It has three rows of seats and a small cart behind it.

Zhang Nan has never seen such a model. Perhaps it was imported from any country in Eastern Europe, and he has never seen that car mark.

One word: Ugly!

As soon as the calligraphy and painting were pulled back to the exhibition hall on Yaoxing Street in the city center, the left-behind staff left some meals for a few people in the cafeteria, and they just took two casually. The director of the agricultural curator said that he would go home and have a rest.

His home is only two hundred meters away from the exhibition hall. In a Western-style courtyard built during the Republic of China, there are four houses on the first floor side by side.

Zhang Nan remembered that he had visited twice while studying. Such housing conditions are still very good in today's Yongcheng. Don't even think about it if you don't have a certain level.

Zhang Nan left Qiu Bo and Xia Milli looking at the pile of things, and he and the other two went back to the hotel to rest.

We returned to the exhibition hall less than three o'clock in the afternoon, and a five-ton Oriental wind and two trailers had arrived.

Fortunately, the yard is big enough, otherwise it can't stop.

The Director of Agriculture has also returned and is chatting with Xiang Weirong.

"Brother-in-law, why are you here?"

"The other drivers are not familiar with Ningbo, so I followed. How about loading the car?"

Pack!

A forklift was borrowed from the exhibition hall. Old cloth was placed in the carriage to increase friction. The six large iron cannons were installed first, and the driver tied it with twine to prevent danger from rolling around during transportation.

Iron cannons can’t be broken, and Ming dynasty furniture can’t be smashed, but there’s nowhere to cry!

A surprising amount of precious old furniture began to be loaded into the trucks in different categories, and until the night was busy, the two trailers were almost full!

Even Zhang Nan, a soy sauce maker, is exhausted enough, let alone "handsmen".

It's hard to believe: More than 150 calligraphy and paintings are worth 210,000 foreign exchange coupons, and two cars of red sandalwood and huanghuali furniture are only 170,000!

This is the result of several careful checks by the exhibition hall's researchers and finances-nowadays old furniture is not as good as calligraphy and painting, that's it.

Adding those cannons, Zhang Nan simply gave $100,000 first, which is enough for tomorrow to talk about.

For $100,000, Zhang Nan rounded up at least half of the Ming and Qing huanghuali and red sandalwood furniture in the entire Yongcheng area!

According to the director of the agricultural curator: after a special period, the two types of furniture are still well-preserved in the Yongcheng area. The most classic exhibition hall accounts for at least two-thirds, and the warehouse is at least the entire exhibition hall. Ninety percent!

Because the time was late, I left the three drivers to stay in Yongcheng for one night, and arranged the room for accommodation and dinner in the Guest House of the Cultural Bureau, and then left tomorrow morning.

As for the extra Dongfeng that will be used tomorrow: The director of the farm and Zhang Nan were loading the goods. They took the time to go in and took a look at the small warehouse. There were not only some Western porcelain, but also a large number of Western oil paintings. A piece of Western furniture, and there are even two marble sculptures at the end.

But after a long time of tossing in the large warehouse, apart from the astonishing number of "Ten Mile Red Makeup" and unearthed artifacts that Zhang Nan didn't want, there are still a lot of bits and pieces that need to be looked at tomorrow.

…

The dinner was eaten as fast as a war. It was only 7 o'clock after the meal. When I drove into the tool cart, Zhang Nan, along with the curator of agriculture, brother-in-law and Qiu Bo, arrived at the small warehouse of the Yongcheng Nonferrous Metals Import and Export Company.

There are already people waiting: Manager Yu in his 50s, and a 27-year-old salesman named Xu Jinjie.

The curator of agriculture and Manager Yu are old friends, and this trip is here to buy antique non-ferrous metal goods.

As for why I came at night? The agricultural curator doesn't care about this!

He brought the official receipt for the acquisition of cultural relics in the exhibition hall. As for what the other party would do next, he couldn't bother to ask, because he didn't greedy the unit for a penny anyway.

"Lao Yu, what good things have you had recently?" I asked as soon as I met.

"I said my director of the National Agricultural University, as soon as my good things are good enough for your eyes, the old rules, look at the goods."

As soon as he entered the warehouse, Zhang Nan saw that it was like the warehouse of the Yanxian Metal Company, except that the piles were basically second-hand non-ferrous metals, including a lot of copper, aluminum, and zinc.

There is also a locked single room in the warehouse, and the door is turned on.

Good guy, the stuff here is absolutely fascinating!

What the **** is there?

There are piles of squashed old European copper pots, intact but dirty copper plates, four or five burlap pockets, large and small, and a bronze statue of a female robe about sixty centimeters high is erected on the corner.

"I guess that the bronze statue will be attractive to you."

Upon hearing what Manager Yu said, the director of the farm said: "Has anyone seen it?"

"Haha... Didn't you go to the capital some time ago? This thing was found from a batch of scrap copper imported from South Asia, and there are two strangely shaped old bronze Buddha statues.

I couldn't wait, so I let the old building of the cultural relics store take a look at it first, but the kid was stingy, and the female bronze statue was only two hundred.

They all weigh 20 kilograms, and he is a beggar! I didn't sell it to him as soon as I got angry! "

I could see that Manager Yu was still a bit embarrassed, but the director of the farm did not say much, but motioned to Zhang Nan.

To be a follower, you must have the consciousness of a follower and move the bronze statue over.

The face of the bronze statue is not damaged or scratched, but there are a few bruises on the skirt position, which gives Zhang Nan a general feeling.

The agricultural curator also took a closer look, and said after a while: "This is up to 500."

When Manager Yu heard this, he smiled and did not increase the price: "Okay, you are an expert."

Speaking of this, he took out two strange-shaped Buddha statues from his pocket again. UU read www.uukanshu.com with Zhang Nan's eyes and saw that the pocket contained various kinds of copper coins.

Zhang Nan bent over and opened several other pockets: copper, aluminum, nickel, and even a small pocket of old silver coins.

"Director, would you like to pick a coin?"

Zhang Nan can speak a few words of "God" in Yongcheng dialect, but it is not standard, and simply speaks Mandarin.

I just gave a brief introduction, the director of the agricultural curator said that this is a student who is studying with him, and it is not a lie.

"Look at it if you are interested."

When Manager Yu heard this, he said, "Flick it over, take as many as you like, no money. Send it to the bank in a few days, and see if you can choose which of the changeable foreign exchange changes are. The rest is fully restored. To be continued)).
