Chapter 654 Zhou Chen's Game, Intention to Post Box

In the four years of university, if you want to say what the biggest gain is, apart from learning a wealth of archaeological knowledge, that is to expand your network.

That is to say, by using these contacts, Zhou Chen bought a lot of things through transactions and leaks. Although he inevitably bought a lot of fakes, he also bought a lot of genuine products.

In four years, he got a total of 32 authentic antiques, but the value was different, and only four of them could meet the system standard.

Among them are two from the Qing Dynasty, one from the Yuan Dynasty, and one from the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to the four pieces that meet the system standards, there are actually three that are of very high value. Unfortunately, they are not antiques from the five dynasties required by the system, but antiques from other dynasties. Therefore, no matter how high the value is, they are not included in the task. among.

However, he asked Mr. Guan to appraise it. Among them was a jade ruyi from the Han Dynasty, which he said should be from the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It was priceless, and Mr. Guan asked him to keep it safe.

Antiques that don't meet the system standards, Zhou Chen can't put them into the system backpack, so he can only build a collection room at home, store all the antiques he collects in it, and go there to appreciate them when he is free.

Hobbies are hobbies, but Zhou Chen has not forgotten his main task. He is going to live to be over a hundred years old, so he is still very cautious about antiques.

I will pay attention when playing with it, and I will not touch it for too long. Who knows whether these antiques will contain any toxic substances.

But that was all before. He was in college for four years and learned a lot about how to preserve antiques, so now he may not be good at restoration, but simple cleaning and removing magazines are no problem at all.

The next day.

Zhou Chen went directly to his sister Zhou Yi's house, found Sun Dapeng, and told him about going to sea to do business again.

It's a pity that Sun Dapeng's thinking is relatively stubborn, and he still doesn't agree, but under Zhou Chen's persuasion, he no longer objected, and agreed with Zhou Chen to lead Zhou Yi into the sea to do business.

Sun Dapeng is not stupid, he knows that his wife and brother-in-law have a deep relationship, and he is unwilling to change, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't believe in Zhou Chen.

On the contrary, he has great trust in Zhou Chen's ability. In this year, everyone still respects college students very much, let alone a Peking University graduate like Zhou Chen.

Therefore, he has no objection to his wife going into business with his brother-in-law. The only concern is his daughter, because he himself has no time to take care of her.

But Zhou Yi assured him that she would never neglect her daughter just because of business, so Sun Dapeng had no reason to object.

The business that Zhou Chen wants Zhou Yi to do is very simple, that is to open a small commodity store, imitating the model of the Wushang Small Commodity Market.

It has been reform and opening up for several years now. As the capital, it is naturally the main implementation place. Today, Yanjing has many private enterprises and a large number of self-employed people, so opening a small commodity store will naturally not have any problems.

There must be a reason for the popularity of the small commodity market in Wushang. Zhou Chen didn't expect to be as big as the small commodity market in Wushang. better life.

But things are not something that can be done just by saying it. There is still a lot of preparation to be done in the early stage, and Zhou Yi is about to leave the job, so they are not in a hurry to start taking action.

Before that, Zhou Chen had one more thing to do, and that was the huanghuali post box he had been waiting for for several years.

He remembered that Su Meng's father should have had a heart attack on the eve of Su Meng's graduation from university, and it was almost time now, so Zhou Chen was ready to take action.

Originally, he planned to wait until Su Meng's father was diagnosed with a heart attack before starting to act, but he was also worried that Han Chunming was unreliable, so if he lent the money to Su Meng in advance, he would suffer a big loss.

So he decided to contact Su Meng in advance. In this way, even if Su Meng doesn't sell it, he can let her know that the post box is valuable and prepare for future purchases.

As for whether Su Meng's family would not sell the huanghuali post box after they knew it was valuable, Zhou Chen wasn't worried at all.

No matter how precious things are, is it more important to have the lives of relatives?
Also, Zhou Chen is not worried about whether Su Meng would rather go to Han Chunming to borrow money than sell huanghuali post boxes.

Who is Su Meng?

She is a woman who values ​​face more than anything else. If her father hadn't really reached a critical juncture, she would never have been willing to borrow money from Han Chunming.

So if she had the opportunity to get money after knowing her father's condition, she would definitely not let it go.

With what method, how much money to use, and how to buy things back, Zhou Chen already has a plan.

Riding a bicycle, Zhou Chen came to the school dormitory.

Although his courtyard house is very close to Peking University, Zhou Chen usually sleeps in the dormitory. One reason is to run less, and another reason is.

The toilets in the school are much cleaner than the public toilets in their place, and they are cleaned every day.

When I came to the dormitory, I found that there were only two people.

"Feilong, where's Old Wu?"

There are six people in Zhou Chen's dormitory, but none of them have the same major as Zhou Chen. The old Wu he mentioned is named Wu Jingui.

Because of this name, Wu Jingui was often laughed at by the dormitory people, even though he was the oldest in the dormitory.

Huang Feilong is an economics major, and he has a good relationship with Zhou Chen and the others.

"He said he was sending something to his hometown."

"Oh."

Zhou Chen nodded, then sat by his bed and waited.

Another person in the dormitory, Chen Yan, walked up to Zhou Chen and said, "Zhou Chen, I took a case of wine from home and put it in your locker. Don't forget it."

Zhou Chen frowned and said, "Why did you bring me wine again? Didn't you say you're welcome?"

Chen Yan said: "It should be, you also know that my dad can't drink now, and I can't drink too much. It's a waste to keep this wine at home."

The reason why he gave wine to Zhou Chen was because Zhou Chen had done his father a big favor.

Once his father was involved in a case. Later, Zhou Chen came forward to find his second uncle and took care of him, so that Chen Yan's father was not implicated.

Because of this incident, the relationship between the two became very good. Chen Yan also thanked Zhou Chen a lot. Zhou Chen couldn't even refuse when he gave something every now and then.

Huang Feilong interjected from the side: "Zhou Chen, don't be polite to him, when you're not around, he often smokes your cigarettes."

Zhou Chen didn't smoke, but he kept a lot of cigarettes in his dormitory just for socializing, most of them were smoked by a few smokers in the dormitory.

"Let's put the wine away for now. After a few days, we brothers will have a good get-together."

Zhou Chen is unwilling to always accept other people's kindness. In their dormitory, he treats guests to dinner the most times.

"By the way, Feilong, I'm going to open a small commodity store, and I may need your help."

Huang Feilong asked in surprise: "You want to go to sea to do business?"

"Can't you?"

"No, I'm just wondering, you're fine, why did you remember to open a store?"

Zhou Chen said: "My sister has been laid off. I'm going to open a small commodity store for her. Don't you study economics? I want you to help run the business and negotiate with the factory. How about it? Do you want to do it?"

Huang Feilong replied without hesitation: "Yes, of course I did. It just so happens that we don't have any classes now, so I can help you with your business and exercise a bit. Tell me, what are your requirements?"

So Zhou Chen simply told Huang Feilong what he wanted to do with those factories and what to buy...

Huang Feilong listened and recorded in his notebook very seriously.

The main reason is that they have been in the same dormitory for a long time. Everyone knows Zhou Chen's ability. Now that he is about to graduate, Huang Feilong, who is a foreigner, is reluctant to leave after seeing the prosperity of Yanjing.

Now Zhou Chen provided him with an opportunity, of course he would not let it go.

As for the money, he didn't even ask, not to mention that he knew that Zhou Chen was very generous, even if Zhou Chen didn't give money, he was still willing to take this opportunity to practice.

After talking to Huang Feilong, Wu Jingui came back just after Zhou Chen drank a glass of water.

"Old Wu, I need your help."

Seeing Wu Jingui, Zhou Chen immediately stood up.

Wu Jingui is from a small county below Henan Province. His family still lives in a remote village. He is in his 30s this year, and he is married and has children.

In fact, Wu Jingui was not originally from the countryside, because when he was in the countryside, he married a girl from the countryside, and he has settled in that village ever since.

His family conditions are the worst among the six people in the dormitory, but he looks gentle and gentle, with a pair of glasses, he looks like a literati.

In the same dormitory, Wu Jingui has received help from Zhou Chen a lot, so when he heard Zhou Chen asked him for help, he didn't say anything.

"Zhou Chen, if you have anything to say, I will definitely help you."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Go, let's go out and talk."

Watching Zhou Chen and Wu Jingui leave the dormitory, Chen Yan scratched his head: "Feilong, what's the matter with Zhou Chen, why is he still telling us behind his back?"

Huang Feilong was still immersed in what Zhou Chen had just told him, and casually replied: "Chen Yan, don't be so curious."

Zhou Chen and Wu Jingui walked out of the dormitory and came to a remote place.

"Old Wu, it's like this. You know that I study archaeology, mainly studying antiques and other old objects. I recently fell in love with an old object, but something happened. I want to get rid of that object. Got it, but I'm not very good at coming forward, so I want you to help me come forward and talk to the other party."

"That's it? No problem, but I don't know anything about this kind of thing?" Wu Jingui expressed his worries.

Zhou Chen said: "You don't have to worry about that, I already have a solution, as long as you follow what I said then it will be fine."

Wu Jingui said without hesitation: "Then it's no problem, just tell me what to do when the time comes."

Zhou Chen pondered for a while: "I already have the method, but I still need your help to cooperate. Our business is a bit complicated. In order to prevent people from seeing the flaws, you still have to dress up. Then you..."

He told Wu Jingui in detail what he had to do, and then said: "Old Wu, this favor is not for nothing. If it is done, I will give you a commission."

"Zhou Chen, if you say that, it's too outlandish. What's the relationship between us, don't mention the commission."

When Zhou Chen said that he wanted to give money, Wu Jingui was immediately unhappy. He is a person who knows how to be grateful. Zhou Chen has helped him so much. If he does this favor to Zhou Chen and still charges money, other people in the dormitory will know , maybe how to arrange him.

Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Old Wu, our friendship belongs to friendship, but we have our own rules in this industry, not to mention this may not be the last time I ask you for help, maybe there will be the same thing in the future. Come forward, if you don't accept commission, how dare I look for you in the future?"

"But……"

"Don't worry about it, just listen to me. Friendship belongs to friendship. If I ask you to do something, then I have to give you a commission. That's the deal."

Zhou Chen didn't give him a chance to refuse, so he decided directly on the case, and then said: "I bought you a set of clothes and put them on your bed, you can put them on tomorrow, and go find someone as I told you. "

"Huh? You also bought me clothes?"

"Do a full set of things, and it's not a one-off deal. Old Wu, we have known each other for four years. I dare not say anything else. As long as you help me, I can guarantee that you will be able to afford a house in Yanjing in the future. Bring your wife and children."

After hearing Zhou Chen's words, Wu Jingui's face suddenly showed longing.

As for those who came to Yanjing from other places to go to university, there were not many who didn't want to stay after graduation.

Although Wu Jingui is a high-achieving student at Peking University, he majored in the Department of History, and his professional level is not very good. He is in the lower middle of the class. His chances of staying in Yanjing are very slim.

He knew Zhou Chen's abilities, and also knew that Zhou Chen's second uncle was a high-ranking official. If he could follow Zhou Chen to work, he might have a better future than returning to his hometown to be a cadre.

The reason why Zhou Chen approached Wu Jingui was that apart from Wu Jingui's honesty, it was also directly related to his study of history.

Archeology and history are inseparable, asking Wu Jingui to help him is definitely more reliable than Huang Feilong and Chen Yan.

"Okay, then I'll try it first. If it doesn't work, don't be polite to me, just tell me."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "If it's someone else, I might really be worried, but you, I believe it's absolutely fine."

"Come on, you go to my house with me first, and I'm going to tell you the details carefully."

The time came to the next day, around four o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Jingui arrived at the entrance of the alley on time and waited patiently.

Today, he is wearing a brand-new Zhongshan suit and gold-rimmed glasses, revealing a bookish look, and his hair is neatly combed. He looks very energetic and temperamental. People will feel that this is a very Culturally educated people.

This body was specially prepared by Zhou Chen for him, and it was precisely because of this body that Wu Jingui was even more grateful to Zhou Chen.

In fact, he can afford this kind of clothes, but he will not be willing to part with them at all, because he has a wife and two children in his hometown, and he sent most of the subsidies given by the school back home.

During his four years in college, he only went home once, and for the rest of the time, he did odd jobs to make money. New clothes were a luxury to him.

After thinking wildly for a while, Wu Jingui pushed his eyes to calm himself down and stood up straight, because the target had already appeared.

Su Hongwen and Liu Xueqin pushed their bicycles and walked towards their home along the alley.

Both of them are people's teachers, but one teaches high school and the other teaches junior high school. Although they are in the same school, their courses are often different, and their commuting hours are also different.

It was rare for the two of them to get off work at the same time today, so they went home together.

They had just turned a corner and hadn't entered the alley where their house was when they suddenly heard someone calling them.

"Teacher Su, Teacher Liu."

Su Hongwen and Liu Xueqin paused and looked towards the source of the sound, only to see a well-dressed man with gold-rimmed glasses walking towards them.

"Ms. Su, Mr. Liu, I'm finally waiting for you."

Su Hongwen and Liu Xueqin looked at each other, and they both saw the doubt in each other's eyes. Su Hongwen asked, "This comrade, may I ask who you are?"

The person who came was naturally Wu Jingui, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Su, Mr. Liu, hello, my surname is Wu, and you can call me Xiao Wu. I came here today to meet you two."

Seeing that Wu Jingui was polite and polite, Su Hongwen put down his vigilance a little.

"Hello, Comrade Xiao Wu, we don't seem to know each other?"

Wu Jingui said: "Yes, two teachers, we did not know each other before. I came here today, and I need your help."

Liu Xueqin was more vigilant, and asked, "At the same time as Xiao Wu, our husband and wife are ordinary teachers. I'm afraid there is nothing that can help you?"

Wu Jingui seemed to have just seen Liu Xueqin's vigilance, and patted his head in embarrassment, and said, "Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce you to the two of you carefully. I am a graduate of the History Department of Peking University, and my name is Wu Jingui. , is an antique collector."

"A graduate of the History Department of Peking University? An antique collector?"

Su Hongwen and Liu Xueqin looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes, but looking at Wu Jingui's gentle appearance, it shouldn't look like a liar or a bad person.

"Comrade Xiao Wu, do you need our help?"

Wu Jingui said: "Teachers, I came to see you today because of an old object in your hands."

"For the old objects in our hands?"

This confused Su Hongwen and Liu Xueqin.

"Comrade Xiao Wu, you have confused us, what old things do we have in our hands, is it worth your special trip?"

Wu Jingui said: "It's just a box made of huanghuali. The box is made of huanghuali. Inside there is a wooden post with an article engraved on it, Ailian said."

"To tell you the truth, in fact, I already had an idea for this post box, but I never had a chance to get it until a few days ago, when I heard that this item fell into the hands of two teachers, so I made a special trip here Looking for two teachers, I want to buy from you two."

Su Hongwen and Liu Xueqin were still puzzled.

"Comrade Xiao Wu, it's not that we deliberately shirk it, but that we really don't know the post box you mentioned, and we have never bought it. Did you make a mistake?"

Wu Jingui immediately looked surprised, but then shook his head firmly.

"Impossible, my friend assured me that there is absolutely no mistake, Mr. Su, Mr. Liu, if you think about it carefully, it is just a yellowish box with a wooden post inside."

"Teachers, the reason why I inquired all over the world is not for myself, but because my teacher likes this item very much, so I want to buy it as a gift for him. If the two of you are willing to sell it to me, I will give it to you. Willing to pay 1000 yuan."

Su Hongwen and Liu Xueqin were shocked. Although they were both teachers, 1000 yuan was not a small amount of money for them.

But Su Hongwen still smiled wryly: "Comrade Xiao Wu, it's not that we don't want to help, but that we really haven't bought this item."

"Impossible, two teachers, you should think about it carefully." Wu Jingui looked anxious.

Su Hongwen still wanted to talk, but Liu Xueqin gave him a hand, and then said to Wu Jingui: "Comrade Xiao Wu, if this is the case, let's go back and look for it first. If we find it, let's talk about it in detail. You see How about it?"

Wu Jingui showed a unwilling expression, but after thinking about it, he nodded.

"Okay, then, I will leave a phone number for the two teachers. If you two find it, please call me and I will come again. I only have one request, that is, if you two find it, Be sure to leave something to me."

As he spoke, he took out a small notebook from his pocket, tore off a piece of paper, wrote down the phone number with a pen pinned to his chest, and handed it to Su Hongwen.

Su Hongwen finished the paper and said politely: "We will."

Before Wu Jingui left, he showed reluctance on his face and emphasized again.

"Mr. Su, Mr. Liu, whether you can find it or not, you must contact me. I will wait for your call."

　I have something to do at home today, so I don't write much, please forgive me.
