"Alright, I'll take these two treasures. What do you want me to help you with? Don't worry about the zoo. Are you worried about the gold or the unearthed text?”
The old man put down his teacup. His first sentence stunned Li Yi. He then laughed,""Old Master is resourceful. You even know this!”
"Humph, you brat, why didn't you come to me when such a big thing happened at the zoo? If I didn't ask someone to keep an eye on you, I wouldn't have known that everyone in your zoo had left. I only found out about the gold and cultural relics a few days ago. Although your second uncle was careful, he couldn't hide it from someone with a conscience. It was already smart of your second uncle not to look for you at the police station for a total of 30 catties of gold.”
Li Yi knew what the old man meant. If Second Uncle sold it at the price of a cultural relic, he would probably get into trouble!
"How did you get here?"
He handed an orange to Li Yi, who quickly took it and peeled it, keeping three petals for himself. He handed the rest to the little girl who was looking at him with a greedy expression.
"Dig…"
"Don't talk about digging it out. There's nothing in that lousy mountain of yours. Back then, that piece of land was personally signed by the Great Ancestor. Otherwise, how could you have such a big place and such a long life? It turns out that there's a barren mountain up there. All the trees were planted by me and your grandfather. If there's anything, why would you dig it up?”
The old man looked at Li Yi with disdain. To others, these words could be said clearly, but to the old man, it was useless. That piece of land was chosen by him thousands of times. He originally thought that it was close to Shanghai and there would be more people who could come and play.
In the end, he did not expect that after the reform and opening up, the changes in Shanghai would be so shocking and terrifying. This piece of land that no one cared about had suddenly become a hot potato.
Fortunately, he was still alive. With him around, they could still suppress him for a few years. When he left, his sons and grandchildren would help suppress him. He said he would give them 99 years, so he had to give them 99 years!
"Smuggling?"
The old man looked at Li Yi from the corner of his eyes. Shanghai was next to the sea. In fact, smuggling was very serious here. Although customs and the coast guard were strictly guarded, there were still people who could sneak in.
"From abroad to China!"
Li Yi nodded his head in a 'difficult' manner. The old man looked at Li Yi and asked,""Where is the channel?"
"Brazil!"
Li Yi casually made up a story. However, he knew what he was doing. There were too many people in Brazil who did this kind of smuggling, and they were all international.
"Is there anything I shouldn't touch?"
"No, I don't dare to do anything else. They're all antiques that have been lost overseas. They're cheap. The gold was found in a few boxes of silver because they didn't know what it was!”
"There's still silver?"
"Yes, there's a lot of them, about 300 catties. However, I plan to melt them and sell them as silver accessories!”
"Is the price low?"
"No, according to the current price, we can earn twice as much…"
The old man was deep in thought. Actually, the old man did not object to this kind of smuggling. There were too many antiques that had wandered outside in the past. Since ancient times, countless Chinese treasures had been outside.
"Is the channel stable?"
"It's quite stable. They don't do anything else but smuggle cultural relics. They don't touch white flour or illegal immigration.”
There were actually many such smuggling cases. Chinese people had an amazing interest in antiques, so foreigners specially looked for these people to sell antiques from abroad.
As for the price, it might not be high, and there was no guarantee that it was real. Therefore, this was also a matter of judgment and courage.
"Then let's continue. It's good to be cheaper and let the national treasure go home, but..."
The old man became serious." I'll get someone to open up a passage for you. But you have to remember, first, you must never touch anything that harms people. If you touch it, I'll break your leg for your grandfather and throw you in prison for the rest of your life!”
"Second, be as careful as possible. If there's any danger, retreat immediately. I'll get your third uncle to find you something to protect yourself, but don't use it to fool around, understand?”
Li Yi's eyes widened and he nodded repeatedly.""I understand now. I will never touch any random things. Besides, I will only sell ordinary items and jewelry. As long as there is something famous, I will donate it to the museum!”
"Okay, you can do that yourself. You don't have to donate everything. But if there's really a national treasure, make a call. The national treasure is the most important, understand?”
"Understood!"
Li Yi nodded heavily and heaved a sigh of relief. At the very least, it would not be a big problem to bring back some antiques in the future!
"However, is your smuggling only limited to antiques?”
The old man looked at Li Yi. The Brazilian smuggling gang had other things to sell.
" Hehe, I knew I couldn't hide it from you. I was just about to tell you, but they said that there were some small animals, hehe…"
"Hehe my ass, you have to go through quarantine, understand?”
"Understood!"
The old man was not a pedantic person. In fact, to be able to live until now, one's heart was not black, and he would not be able to survive. Moreover, Li Yi did not harm anyone, so he agreed.
To put it bluntly, as long as Li Yi did not touch the firearms, the old man would not think that it was a problem at all!
He could even get someone to operate it and import it directly. The so-called smuggling was actually without supervision and import taxes!
After receiving the support of the old man, Li Yi heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, Li Yi knew that the old man even knew something. An old man who had lived for 97 years was really smart. It was just that there were some things that he did not say.
What a joke. Li Yi was always at the zoo. How could he contact the smuggling gang so easily?
A young man who hadn't even graduated from university suddenly said that he and the smuggling gang had caught up?
Did they really think that the old man's intelligence agency was fake?
Therefore, the old man even knew that Li Yi was lying to him. However, as long as the things that Li Yi took out were not harmful, he would be able to take responsibility!
After having lunch at Old Min's house, Li Yi went back in the afternoon. After lunch, Old Min's great-granddaughter and Li Yi were extremely close.
When night fell, Li Yi returned home, but Elder Min called two people over!
" Min Rou, Min Wen, from today onwards, the two of you will be working at this zoo in Shanghai…"
" Min Rou, get along well with your fiancé…"
