Fang Lao secretly arrived in Qunnan Province, with only a few orderly guards, and no one was notified except his students.
He has many concerns, such as the collective panic of the Qunnan provincial leadership team due to his sudden visit.
Everyone has their own positions, and each has its own line. Zheng Cunzhi and the leaders of the same faction will drive and wait at the airport late at night for his arrival, but not everyone is like him.
After a long rest, a rare "teacher-student conversation" was urgently held in the reception building of the internal leaders of the Qunnan State Guest House the next day.
Fang Lao smoked a cigarette and shook his head: "Cunzhi, you guys are not peaceful."
Secretary Zheng, who used to be dignified in front of others, looked solemn at this time, and he sighed: "It was my leadership that made a mistake."
Not long ago, the largest auction house in Hong Kong, Sheng An Auction Group, set a new record for the transaction price of antiques in its annual auction last month. The long-necked vase with vermilion painted gold bat beast in the Qing Dynasty that was auctioned has the value of the "national treasure" carefully cared for by the National Museum. This is a treasure of the Chinese nation, but it was finally bought by an antique from France. Businessmen in the bag.
According to reliable sources, this valuable golden bat bottle came from the mainland.
This is not just one instance. The rapid economic development of the country in recent years has also spawned countless smugglers who are willing to take risks for their own interests. These smuggling criminals have their own unique tricks, but the most used method is always shipping. The eastern seaside cities such as Qunnan Province are all hard-hit areas with high incidence of smuggling crimes.
Numerous ships left their homeland with the treasures of the Chinese nation and were lost overseas. However, the arrests again and again are always in vain for various reasons.
When a phenomenon is so severe, it is impossible to shake its foundations without triggering a hurricane.
"How could it be your fault? Mr. Marx has said in his complete works: 'If there is a 10% profit, the capital is guaranteed to be used everywhere; with a 20% profit, the capital will be active; For the profit of 100%, the capital will dare to trample all human laws; if the profit is more than 300%, the capital will dare to commit any crime, and even take the risk of hanging. The profits of stealing cultural relics, It's more than 300%." Fang Lao knew the difficulties of his students, he shook his head and said, "Cunzhi, people are in the game and often can't help themselves."
He took a serious attitude: "So you have to know how politically important this donation of antiques is to our plan to combat smuggling. For this reason, I will set off as soon as possible and rush to Liyun to confirm the authenticity of the batch of antiques. Before the final confirmation result comes out, here, remember not to act too hastily."
Secretary Fang immediately sat up straight: "I remember it. Liyun City will definitely not leak the news ahead of time."
Fang Lao nodded and leaned back on the sofa: "There is one more thing. Cunzhi, I heard that after your old superior was transferred, the new appointment from above has not been released?"
Secretary Fang was a little embarrassed: "Yes, it has been vacant for more than a month."
He is called a secretary, but in fact he has to add a sub-word. Recently, the people in the province are floating around the sea, and it is also for the vacated position. Under the strong competition of many competitors, he is not sure whether he can win. The top pick doesn't have much confidence.
Fang Lao saw that his smile was as shy as he was ten years ago, and there was a kind face on his face, but in those old and wise eyes, the content was meaningful: "You don't have to worry, you are still young, you need to know when you need to know. Come to heaven and earth together, right?"
Zheng Cunzhi sent off Fang Lao while pondering the deep meaning of this sentence, and immediately arranged the task solemnly: "Notify Liyun City, do a good job in the reception work, and ensure the personal safety of the members of the Yan City National Museum delegation! It is the top priority! It must be emphasized again and again!"
On the other hand, in Liyun City, which is located in the northern part of Qunnan Province and has no presence in the province all year round, the city leader hung up the phone with a puzzled look on his face.
He thought to himself: These days, not only provincial and municipal leaders, but even museums are popular to visit everywhere
Forget it, he pondered for a long time, and he was lazy and thought about it. What else can he do with the museum delegation? It is nothing more than eating and drinking here, climbing the mountain to see the water and collecting the wind, etc. He just sacrifices this group of people like living ancestors. Get up, eat good food and drink good food, and finally feel at home.
Especially the safety issue, the province has emphasized so many times, it is really too careful. The delegation was just a group of ordinary old scholars, who would deliberately trouble them
******
The second model of No. 1 Middle School arrived as scheduled, and Lin Jingzhe sprayed it when he got the paper. This difficulty is probably not much higher than the final exam of the second year of high school. The school actually adopted it as the most important second-model question before the college entrance examination. The school leaders are estimated to be down head down.
However, this is still very difficult for the fifth-class students whose key review ranges are almost completely inconsistent. After school, Lin Jingzhe went home with Gao Sheng, Zhou Haitang, Deng Mai, and Deng Mai's younger brothers, listening to them anxiously looking forward to the college entrance examination along the way.
Oh, their thinking is of course different from Lin Jingzhe. The logic of the fifth class is that the questions they reviewed some time ago were all too difficult. This time it is said that the second model, which is said to be easier than the college entrance examination, still has many questions that they cannot do. Compare, how difficult is the official college entrance examination
Anyway, it was a crooked fight, so Lin Jingzhe let them go.
Deng Mai did not join the discussion. He had no intention of taking the college entrance examination. He had already planned his life after graduating from high school. Therefore, at this time, he is more keen to develop his unusually well-informed intelligence network: "Brother Lin, do you know that Jiang Run from the first class came back yesterday, and Li Yurong is tossing him a place in Qunnan University."
Lin Jingzhe frowned slightly: "Isn't there a memory on him?"
"Yeah, but it is said that someone in the province talked to the principal in person. The school leader didn't even dare to let go of the fart, and kept pressing down on the demerit. The director of politics and education and the group of top students in the first class are about to explode these days. , but a group of cowards, what kind of fame can they blow up."
This is very unusual. What kind of people in the province can the Jiang family know? Based on his memories, it was nothing more than the person who exchanged information with them to give away antiques. I have to say that half of the Jiang family's achievements in the past life have to be remembered by that person. The other party will give the Jiang family such a benefit at this time, and it must have tasted the sweetness.
What can he taste? Fall leaves know autumn, and Lin Jingzhe knows it well.
After he calmly sorted out the context of everything, he remained calm. A few days ago, the people from the National Museum of Yan City had communicated with him and promised to send a professional team of no less than 20 people to Liyun to pick up the batch of bronzes in person. The date is today.
As long as the efforts of these grandfathers are handed over to a safe place that belongs to them, everything will develop completely different from the previous life, and Lin Jingzhe is no longer afraid.
When the damaged and potholed land came to an end, he stepped on the particularly gentle and clean road in the rich area of Liyun City. As soon as Lin Jingzhe took out his key, he saw five people standing outside the gate of his yard. The leader looked to be in his fifties, looking at the yard with his hands behind him, exuding a majesty that could not be ignored. The other four were tall and strong, and they protected the old man intentionally or unintentionally. Judging from their posture, they didn't look like ordinary people.
In this eventful autumn, Lin Jingzhe immediately became vigilant.
He and Deng Mai tacitly exchanged glances, and whispered: "You go first, tell your father to come, and bring a few more people."
Deng Mai nodded. Are you going to stage a blockbuster? ! He desperately suppressed his excited expression: "I see, Brother Lin, take care of you!"
Then he turned around tragically and ran away like a whirlwind in a stance of a special agent.
"..." Lin Jingzhe turned around and greeted the five people who had noticed him, "Hello, everyone, this is...?"
The eyes of the four tall men were like cheetahs, but the expression on the old man's face changed from the majesty when no one was there to a much kinder: "Children, do you know someone from Lin Jingzhe?"
Everyone turned their eyes to the front of the team.
Lin Jingzhe became more and more vigilant: "I know, but what do you guys have to do with him?"
"We are the staff of the National Museum of Yan City, and we have an appointment with him, but it's a little early." The old man obviously regarded him as an ignorant child, so he was very tolerant and patient, "Then do you know where he is now? ?"
Yan City National Museum
Lin Jingzhe relaxed a little bit, but because of the news he heard in Deng Mai Na just now, he is currently on high alert, so he still asked with a smile, "So that's the case, can I look at everyone's documents?"
Fang Lao couldn't remember how many years he had not heard this request. He looked at the very cautious and calm child in front of him with some surprise, but he also knew that this request was indeed reasonable, so he took out his name Yanshi with a good temper. Expert credentials from the National Museum: "Of course."
Official seals, seals, and various anti-counterfeiting signs, if it is a liar, with the ability of the Jiang family, it is impossible to be so meticulous. Lin Jingzhe believed most of the letter, and the fake smile on his face disappeared, he handed back the documents, his tone no longer escaped as before, he became unable to distinguish his emotions, and even became a little stronger: "You promised no less than 20 people. What about the team of experts?"
Fang Lao was stunned from the moment Lin Jingzhe changed his face. He was even more surprised when he heard this question. He didn't even dare to identify it: "You..."
Lin Jingzhe sighed, took the key to open the door, turned sideways and replied lightly, "Forget it, come in, I'm Lin Jingzhe."
******
It took Mr. Fang a while to digest Lin Jingzhe's character setting, until Lin Jingzhe opened the warehouse door for him, and then he remembered to explain: "That's it, little... um."
Lin Jingzhe said at the right time, "You are an elder, just call me Jingzhe."
Fang Lao smiled and said: "That's right, our Yan City National Museum did send a team of 29 experts, but after arriving in Liyun, there must be some reception procedures to go with the Municipal Party Committee, so it is estimated that we have arrived. It's going to be later. I'm impatient with the food and drink, so I'm here first."
"I see." Lin Jingzhe nodded, opened the warehouse door and turned on the light, "Then take a look at it, if you don't dislike it, you can have a light meal at home tonight."
"Okay, okay, then of course..." The surface of the bronze ware was covered with a charming layer of brilliance. The moment he touched this layer of brilliance, Fang Lao became excited. He stepped forward vigorously, his eyes were hungry, his hands almost touched When he reached the surface of the copper utensil, he paused again, and took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and put them on. Then he carefully picked up the smallest utensil and touched it cherishly.
The texture, rust, and shape of the utensils were all genuine. The more he touched it, the more excited he became, and the more uncertain he felt, he turned his head and said to Lin Jingzhe, who was standing by the door with a calm expression, "Young man, are you sure you are the real one? Do you want to donate this batch of things? Let me tell you honestly, although they are not good-looking, each of them is very precious. I am afraid that all the bronzes in this warehouse will be enough for you to live without food and clothing in this life. "
Lin Jingzhe had an indifferent attitude towards him at first, but after hearing this sentence, his impression really improved. He finally showed a sincere smile, although it was not big, it was exceptionally beautiful.
So that Fang Lao has a kind of comfort like a spring breeze.
Lin Jingzhe stepped into the warehouse, walked to Mr. Fang's side, took a pair of gloves from the cabinet, and then took the small gauntlet that Mr. Fang was holding in his hands with a gentle gaze: "This Tianrun gauntlet is also a craftsmanship of the Shang Dynasty at the latest. , In 1985, a piece of the same value was auctioned in Paris for a price equivalent to RMB 4 million. Five years later, its value must be higher than before, right? But even if it is now worth five One million, six million, or even 10,000,000,000, is it possible for me to make my grandfather’s life’s efforts go away for this money?”
Fang Lao was stunned again involuntarily in his calm voice.
If at the beginning, he was only full of appreciation and praise for this cultural relic donation activity, then at this moment, he has inevitably felt respect for Lin Jingzhe, a donor who is completely different from his imagination.
Although the other party is too young, but looking at the whole country, not to mention the inconspicuous small city of Liyun, even in Yan City, even if it is around him, even if it is his own children, who can In this way, millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions are casually talked about, and then handed over lightly.
This is by no means a heart that can be disguised.
Fang Lao opened his mouth, and an indescribable torrent erupted from his chest. He said to himself, he must do something for this young man. People like the other party are destined not to be confined to a low world like Liyun City.
After so many years of retirement, this is the first person who has moved him to such a degree that his eyes were wet, and he involuntarily stood close to Lin Jingzhe, patted the other's back with one hand gently and encouragingly, Just like an elder who is close to the blood.
When the two gently put the little gong back in place, they looked at each other and smiled when they got up.
Lin Jingzhe said calmly, "If there is no problem, let's go out and sign a contract."
Fang Lao nodded, grabbed Lin Jingzhe's arm and asked for help, but before he could take a step, there was a sudden noise in the direction of the living room outside the warehouse.
"Where's Lin Jingzhe? Where is Lin Jingzhe?!"
He faintly heard a sharp shout: "What are you doing?! We are from the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau. We are here to investigate a case of privately hiding cultural relics. We advise you not to hinder your official business!"
