It was more than 3000 kilometers. The two cars and three people took turns driving. On April 6th, the car finally arrived in Beijing.
For the next week, he did nothing else but stay at home to clean and tidy up the batch of porcelain he had brought back.
In everyone's eyes, he seemed to be possessed!
If it weren't for the auntie reminding him to eat, Qin Shi would have starved himself to death!
They wouldn't understand that this was the true joy of a local master combining with the Zang family!
To be able to own a collection that was unique in the world, that kind of pride was simply incomprehensible to others! Even if it wasn't unique, it was still fun!
At this moment, he was cleaning a Longquan kiln green glaze five-tube ware and putting it into a suitable packaging box bought from the 81 packaging factory.
The box was lined with sponge and silk, and it was also wrapped in brocade. It was the best place to store fragile items. He bought 1500 boxes of different sizes in one go!
The packaging boxes produced by the factory were very exquisite, and there were all kinds of specifications and sizes. It was just right to use them.
The five-barreled weapon in his hand had a peculiar design: The central tube has a straight mouth and an outer folding edge, and five tubes stand upright around it. The tube hole is connected to the abdomen, the shoulder is folded, the lower abdomen is retracted inward, and the foot is encircled.
The abdominal wall is engraved with double-layer lotus petal pattern, white embryo, applied plum green glaze, the end of the circle is vermillion.
Qin Shi knew that other than his own, only the Palace Museum on the other side of the river had a similar ware.
However, even all the experts in China couldn't figure out what the game was about, let alone Qin Shi!
With so many treasures in his bedroom, the vault was already filled with boxes of all sizes.
There were too many things to put away, so the rest could only be piled in the bedroom.
He drove to the construction site in the south of the city, but he had to stop at the entrance of the construction site!
As expected, the new car was taken by Brother Han. As for the new Mercedes-Benz, he had only used it a few times!
The construction site was full of potholes, and sports cars could not enter at all.
When she found Brother Han and the contractor, she said that she had something to do and did not suspect anything." After lunch, I'll get the driver to drive you there.”
"Forget it, I'll just get a jeep. That's too ostentatious.”
Sister Ping was sitting in a Mercedes-Benz. As for the red flag, it was just as Qin Shi had said: Too ostentatious!
In the past few days, a few well-known acquaintances in the city had come to ask for a car and a driver.
Of course, Qin Shi would agree to it, but he was a little reluctant to part with it at first. After all, it was prepared for Sister Ping.
China is a society of favors. Lending you such a luxury car is a huge favor!
Some people even came to borrow cars for their relatives and friends from other places. When so many famous people owed you a favor, it would be convenient to do anything.
"Xiao Shi, I need you to book the location of your house. You can't leave everything to me, right? We haven't even decided on the exact location yet!"
It was a big deal for other people to build a house, but Qin Shi was doing nothing!
"You have to choose a place for me to build it, right?”
When he heard the contractor's complaint, he smiled and said,
"Let's go and take a look now!"
"Brother Han, are you going?"”
Actually, it would be very busy, but the location of the house could not be sloppy.
"Yes."
Half an hour later, they arrived at the top of Shing Wong Mountain, which was 20 kilometers away from the capital.
Even though he had bought the land, it was still Qin Shi's first time here." These days, he only cared about the porcelain.
Soon, the location of the house was chosen, and the wall under the cliff was rebuilt-it was too old and ugly!
About a hundred meters behind the cliff villa, a semi-basement entrance with an explosion-proof door caught Zhang Nan's attention.
Extremely short! The exposed reinforced concrete wall was shockingly thick!
" That's the original entrance to the underground armory. The ventilation and moisture removal facilities are still functional.”
Seeing that Qin Shi was interested in this, the contractor introduced him.
"Good!"
Why was it good?
That armory was even sturdier than a bank vault! In the future, when he built a real mansion at that location, with a little modification, this would be an unbreakable underground vault!
Every cultural relic management unit would have a warehouse. It was unknown how the actual management situation of each cultural relic management unit was from the 1980s to the mid-1990s.
At that time, in the warehouses of the cultural relics management committee, there were so many cultural relics and old things that even the museum of the sub-provincial city could not hold most of them, let alone the county-level cultural relics management committee.
Basically, there was no museum in the county town during that era. The most exquisite cultural relics were sent up, while the relatively ordinary things could only be collected in the warehouse.
However, if the people sent it over, the construction company dug it out, or the waste recycling station sent it over…After a period of time, the warehouse would reach the point where it had to be cleaned up!
Starting from the early 1990s, county-level units would also set up cultural relics stores. Those old things that could not be piled up, could still be used, and were not too important were either taken away or bought by acquaintances or connections, or placed in cultural relics stores for sale.
Many of them were taken for nothing!
In his previous life, in the mid-90s, he had entered the warehouse of a county-level cultural management committee. The basement was a mess of things, jade, porcelain, miscellaneous items…there was everything. At that time, the copper coins that were randomly piled on the ground were more than 1,000 kilograms. He weighed 20 kilograms of Song coins, which was twice the market price of scrap copper at that time.
A year later, he went to the storeroom again through his connections. Other than the bottles and jars that were dug out from the ground, there was nothing inside, let alone the thousands of kilograms of copper coins!
Even a large number of plates and bowls from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China were missing!
It was so clean that rats could starve to death!
They were all sold at the cultural relics store!
"Sold?"
It would be a ghost if Zhang Nan believed it!
With the sales volume of the cultural relics store, it was impossible to sell them all! Moreover, they were all in the same circle. How could they not understand the twists and turns inside?
It was either the insiders who emptied it themselves, or people with connections like him bought it in bulk at a low price.
As for money?
Who knew where it was?
Moreover, it wasn't against the rules to do so!
It was a magical era for antiques.
Tianjin was one of the earliest trading ports that China was forced to open. Western culture and architecture entered very early, and there were many of them during the Qing Dynasty!
When the four old buildings were destroyed, some of the western-style buildings in Tianjin were also swept away.
They all went into the storeroom!
What did he mean by 'certain buildings'? Hehe, it's hard to say. It's good that you understand.
It's not a good idea to pile them up, right? That plaything was useless at that time. How could there be a plaything in the exhibition hall?
Then sell it!
A set of brand-new western porcelain was 5 yuan, and a western powder color soup plate with a diameter of more than 40 centimeters was 2 yuan. As for spoons, incomplete plates and bowls, they were sold in the courtyard of the unit.
The passers-by could buy it when they saw it.
Of course, some things made of silver could not be sold to individuals. They had to be handed over to the bank. After all, precious metals.
The ones that had obvious signs of use and were not wanted were all piled up in the storeroom. As for the new porcelain and daily necessities that could be used daily, they were basically sold out.
Of course, the items that were stored in the storeroom during the old days were not only these relatively special items. There were also many ordinary western-style items that were moved to the exhibition hall from some western-style hotels and offices.
At that time, these Western playthings would either be sent to the exhibition hall or thrown away or smashed in private. Otherwise, they would be looking for trouble!
Although he was not particularly interested in these Western porcelain, it would be good if his hilltop villa could display some old Western antiques and the interior furnishings could be a combination of local and western styles.
Although he could buy them in America, it was troublesome to collect them everywhere. In addition, he did not understand the price and transportation problems. He might as well go to Tianjin to buy a batch.
Other antiques could be sold to foreigners, but some Chinese antiques were not sold to foreigners! Why didn't they sell the western oil paintings to foreigners?
"You want to buy it?"
There was no door, and the windows were all closed!
When they returned home and chatted, sometimes Sister Ping was very puzzled and would disappear from time to time.
"Zhi Xi, we need to strengthen the company's security. There are no walls in this world that are airtight. Also, when he was young, this was one of China's treasure vaults. Have you thought about how to deal with this treasure?”
"Understood, class monitor. I'll prepare as soon as I get back.”
Since Qin Shi had already said it, there was no need to hide anything else."I left all the porcelain in the storeroom. I don't dare to take these out at the moment. Brother Han, Brother Long, should we all get a Hong Kong green card? It's very convenient and can be done in a short time.”
"Let's go back and discuss it," Brother Han said."This is also a way out. Now that the economy was changing, he couldn't see through it!”
What he said was the truth. Other than the Qin Dynasty, the reform and opening up were really crossing the river by feeling the stones. Even the people at the top were not confident. If the ordinary people were blindly optimistic, they must not have seen far enough!
The first batch of people in the capital started a private economy and became rich. How many of them would still be able to laugh proudly in the martial arts world after 20 years?
Brother Han understood.
