"Su Rui, what does Zhizhengtongbao mean?" Zi Yang flicked the ancient coin in his hand, playing with his fingers like the old man surnamed Ge. Unexpectedly, watching the old man play easily, but he couldn't pick it up anyway, the coins kept falling on the floor and rolling around.
Zi Yang had nothing to do in the past two days, so he ran to Su Rui's office to pass the time. Recently, the second floor has suddenly become deserted, and no one has come for several days.
Zi Yang is not like Lao Wang, always running down the lobby to hang out with Xiaoli and others. Those students who also work in the same place always make jokes on him, calling him "the head of the building."
Hearing Zi Yang’s question, Su Rui stopped typing on the computer, picked up the old coins rolling under her feet, and handed them to Zi Yang, “Zhizheng Tongbao is a copper coin issued during the Shundi Zhizheng period of the Yuan Dynasty. Although the number is not large, the variety is However, there are many types. The front is all dignified and beautiful Chinese characters writing "zhizheng tongbao" in regular script, and the style on the back is slightly different. Wear Mongolian texts as Yin, Mao, Ji, and the five earthly branches at noon. The Chinese characters, some of which are written in capitals of two or three, have a total of three grades, commonly known as five-year third-class fifteen grades.
Su Rui turned over the old coin in Zi Yang's hand and showed him, "Zhizheng Tongbao is a relatively rare type of ancient coin. The back of the coin in your hand is dressed in Mongolian'Yin', and underneath it is a Chinese character. 'Three' is a beautiful product in terms of appearance. The price is not low, at least a few thousand yuan per piece."
Su Rui talked about the terminology of a Datong ancient coin. Most of Zi Yang didn’t understand it. However, he heard that this ancient coin cost several thousand yuan, so he hurriedly held it in his hand carefully, “So expensive? Lost by me... Where did you get it? Why do all of those people have this one in their hands?"
Su Rui smiled and said: "The old coin in your hand was handed to me by the senior in Hong Kong as a token to meet them. The customers who come to our second floor here belong to the same small circle. The membership invitation system is implemented. Except for the founding members, everyone else must be invited or introduced by senior members to join. Every new person who joins will receive such an ancient coin."
Zi Yang nodded, "No wonder you have to show me the copper coins every time I meet. So this is the joint code!"
Su Rui continued: “The people in this circle come from all corners of the world. Many people don’t know each other. This ancient coin is equivalent to a token. Everyone knows that they are insiders when they look at this token.”
Zi Yang questioned: "Then I have this old coin in my hand, does it mean that I am a member of the circle?"
Su Rui nodded: "Seeing things is like seeing people, so this copper coin will only be given to the most trusted person around him. Don't look at it as just a copper coin. The knowledge inside is great. These ancient coins have different patterns on the back. It's also graded—this old coin in your hand is not low in the circle!"
Zi Yang heard it again and again, "So complicated? What kind of circle is this? It's so mysterious, just like an underground organization!"
Su Rui did not answer him directly, but tilted his head and asked him, "What do you think?"
Zi Yang suspiciously said, "Don't you know?"
Su Rui shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. I am only entrusted to know the origin of this ancient coin and the rules in it. The specific situation is not clear. Of the three of us, you, me and Lao Wang, you have the most contact with them. , Do you see any way out?"
Zi Yang scratched his head and said, "I can't guess. I think these people are three teachers. Everyone has them. Some are like nouveau riche, some are like teachers, some are like bosses, and some are like ragged ones. … They never chat with me, and I never ask indiscriminately—but the old man named Ge comes here almost every time. I think he looks righteous, isn't it a bad guy?"
Su Rui nodded, and showed the computer screen to Zi Yang, "I just found his information. Come and see, this person is not a small person!"
Zi Yang looked over and saw that there was a personal picture on the browser page. It was a picture of the old man named Ge. However, the picture should be taken earlier. The old man Ge above looks younger, although he is small. The eyes are full of energy.
Next to the photo, there is a few lines of character introduction:
Ge Weidu, Honorary Professor of XX University, historian, collector, antique connoisseur, senior consultant of XX Museum...
Looking at the series of titles behind, Zi Yang's head was dizzy, "This, this resume, is better than our principal! This old man does not look amazing, and his costume is no different from the old man and old lady on the street. I thought it had such a big origin!"
Su Rui nodded, "Small hidden in the wild, big hidden in the city, this Professor Ge Weidu is quite low-key in public view. He can hardly find his information on the Internet, but he is a famous collector in the world. The industry respectfully calls him the old cabinet-the cabinet that came out of the cabinet. The old cabinet is the honorary name given to the cabinet scholars in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Judging from this nickname, how lofty he is in the industry."
Zi Yang suddenly realized, "No wonder they call him Ge Lao Ge Lao when they say hello, I thought it meant Lao Ge!"
Su Rui smiled mysteriously: "Now you know what this circle does?"
"What do you mean, they are people in the antique circle?" In fact, when he saw Ge Weidu's information, Zi Yang probably understood in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it for the first time.
Su Rui was noncommittal: "I'm just guessing, I haven't contacted them, and the Hong Kong boss didn't tell me either-but my idea is similar to yours, they should all belong to the antique Wenwan circle. ."
"No wonder people who came here several times brought large and small bags. Are they all antiques? They, shouldn't they engage in reselling cultural relics in the store? This, this is illegal!" Yang Da said in shock.
This thing is a bit big! If it really involves the reselling of cultural relics, then he and Su Rui and Lao Wang can't escape the relationship. They are really hiding, or they are accidentally covered in shit. Become part of a criminal gang by accident!
And judging from the level of the ancient coin in his hand, his status in this gang is not low...
Seeing Zi Yang's nervousness, Su Rui couldn't help but smile, "Don't make a fuss, not everything can be called a cultural relic-collections excavated by the national registration and filing are called cultural relics. Or collections purchased from cultural relics stores are also called cultural relics. .
The collections in the hands of ordinary people belong to folk art collections, not cultural relics. They can be bought and sold freely without any qualifications. If you have valuable collections in your hand, you can even get it to auction companies or art management companies to help you publicly auction and trade. These are all supported by the state.
I guess this old Ge Weidu is an authoritative connoisseur in the circle. Some of them use private collections to identify the authenticity of him or ask him to help set prices. Some people simply take out their collections to appreciate and enjoy each other. Of course, some private transactions should also exist, but as long as it does not violate the laws of the country, it has nothing to do with us..."
Zi Yang heard what Su Rui said, finally letting go of the hanging heart, and exaggeratedly covering his chest with his hands and said: "That's good, that's good, scare me! It's not me making a fuss, look at them I always look like a thief when I do things, it's a countersign, and I look at tokens. I went, and for a while I really thought I was in some mysterious organization..."
Su Rui smiled and said: "You are a person with a lot of heart and eyes, and you always feel like others are trying to harm you. As an antique collector, one collection can easily be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. Of course, you have to be careful. Chinese people are not. Is there an old saying, it's called "cai do not reveal rich!"
"Nor, look at that bald brother, who is covered with gold and silver, I'm afraid that others don't know that he is rich!" Zi Yang deliberately lifted the bar with Su Rui, and Su Rui, who was "angered," glanced at him. "I can't tell you, stop talking!"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, "Boss, I'm back!" It was the voice of Old Wang.
"Come in!" Su Rui stood up and said.
Lao Wang pushed the door in, holding a small delicate wooden box in his hand, and yelled as soon as he entered the door, "Lao Li, you are here too—Xiao Su, you have brought back the things you asked me to take."
Su Rui took the small wooden box and smiled and said, "Thanks, hard work!"
Lao Wang wiped his sweat and said, "What valuable things are in this?!"
Su Rui did not answer him, and gently opened the small wooden box on the table, only to see two wooden small barrels lying inside, one white and one blue. It was also printed with delicate patterns and a string of English letters that they could not understand at all.
Su Rui carefully unscrewed the lid of the bucket. Zi Yang and Lao Wang looked over curiously. They saw that the wooden bucket was filled with black beans and smelled of burnt scent.
"Coffee beans?" Old Wang said puzzledly. There were many such coffee beans in the lobby downstairs, and both of them had seen them.
Su Rui nodded, "It's coffee beans."
Old Wang looked disappointed, "What a baby I am, just such a little thing makes me run back and forth for a few hours..."
Su Rui said sternly: "This is not an ordinary roasted coffee bean. This is the authentic Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee. The production of this top-quality coffee bean of origin is very scarce and cannot be bought in the circulation market. I booked it with a rich man—a cup of coffee like this would cost a few hundred yuan."
Lao Wang was so scared that his tongue stuck out: "My mother, this small cup of coffee costs me a month of living expenses! Who would drink this kind of thing?"
Zi Yang also wondered: "Our store is about to start high-end business? But this is not enough! ●31 novel app download address●"
Su Rui shook his head and smiled: "This is not for the customer, but is reserved for a friend. He has a strange taste, likes to drink coffee, and he only drinks this premium Blue Mountain coffee."
"What kind of friend is so honorable? After introducing you, I also want to make friends with someone who has a cup of coffee and drank hundreds of dollars." Old Wang said with a sullen face.
Su Rui said, "This is the real owner of this store."
Zi Yang was taken aback, "The Hong Kong boss is back? When did he come?"
Su Rui smiled and said, "It's been many days, you should also have the impression that it was the day Ye Zhiqiu was beaten!"
Zi Yang remembered that that night they came to the coffee shop to investigate, and chatted with Xiaoli and Brother Xiaosha for a while. After Brother Xiaosha left, Su Rui also said that he was going to the airport to pick up people. At that time, he was still wondering who he was picking up. It's so important, I didn't expect to be the authentic owner of this store.
Lao Wang said, "Oh, why don't you say hello when the big boss is here? Our brothers should also pay a visit!"
Su Rui said, "He is a relatively low-key person. He has been living in the Four Seasons Hotel for this period of time. He usually doesn't see outsiders, and I haven't even seen it a few times-but he will come to the store tomorrow. Go and pick him up."
"Yes, I promise to complete the task!" Old Wang said bulgingly.
"By the way, Ge Weidu will come tomorrow too." Su Rui said while looking at Zi Yang.
Zi Yang nodded, the big boss and Elder Ge came together, it seems that tomorrow is an important day.
He is also very curious, who is this Hong Kong boss who has always been seeing the dragons without seeing the end? Being able to interact closely with Professor Su, able to purchase such an expensive property in City H, drink a cup of Blue Mountain coffee for several hundred yuan, and is also a big promoter of the mysterious antique circle.
What kind of character is such a behind-the-scenes boss with a complicated background and acting strangely
