Chapter 0415 – Emptying the Old Mansion (II)

“I’ll give him another call ……”

Ouyang Jun was also freezing and shivering. This cold day standing outside, that cold wind blowing on the face, like a knife scraping through the general, or the big star has foresight, before going out to wrap himself tightly, only revealing a pair of eyes outside.

“Hey, Bai Lao Er, where are you looking, here, come over …… quickly.”

Ouyang Jun just pulled out the phone, saw from the head of the alley walking over a person, stretching his head and shrinking his brain, hastily raised his hand and greeted.

“Hey, Brother Jun, not bad! Putting the mansion here, we don’t have many people in this circle!”

This person seems to be very familiar with Ouyang Jun’s relationship, although his mouth also shouted brother, but his face was not as respectful as Director Zheng’s, from what he said. It seemed that he was also a good mixer in this Four Nine City.

“Come on! Bai Lao Er, don’t think I don’t know, you also have two sets of courtyards in your hands, and you’ve bought them for quite a few years, right? I say you kid is not good, brother this are searching for a few months, you do not squeak, see my joke is not?”

Ouyang Jun dissatisfied look at the person, then pointed to Zhuang Rui, said: “That is my cousin, Zhuang Rui, he also set up a yard, want to collect some old antique furniture, you do not say that there is a place to demolish and relocate, out of a lot of good objects? You take him to take a look!”

“His name is Bai Feng, is my hair small, you turn around and follow him to go on the line, come on, ancient brother, let’s find a place to go to talk, this weather is fucking evil, not yet in December, it’s so cold.”

Ouyang Jun turned around and introduced himself to Zhuang Rui, stomped his feet on the ground, then greeted Xu Qing and Gu Yun and walked towards the outside of the alley.

“Elder brother Zhuang, right! Let’s go! How come I haven’t heard Jun’er mention you before?”

Bai Feng rubbed his hands together. Greeted Zhuang Rui a sound, he and Ouyang Jun is hair small right, and from elementary school to junior high school, there is no less pile together to go to fight, but his family fell early, the old man who fought in the war, in the early days of the Cultural Revolution passed away, Bai Feng that will still not remember it, if not the army to take care of his family, maybe even the army compound can not live it!

Just this long time, and then the good feelings that also faded, in the white maple on the junior high school, moved away from the army compound, before those who came from the war, are considered the most honorable workers and farmers, so white maple’s father, although not so much as to go back to his hometown to farm, but also is a common factory workers.

And white maple this person is relatively strong, junior high school graduation did not go to school again, into the community, the street read his grandfather is also an old mother, it gave him a job. Go to work at the scrapyard, the early eighties, fifteen or sixteen-year-old Bai Feng began to get paid.

That will be the era of the planned economy, scrap yards are still public, most of which are some of the old books and broken iron, white maple age, others take care of her, live is not much, every day is over the scale, idle time, go to see those old books, a long time, and grew a lot of knowledge.

Together with the white maple this person’s eyes live, a bit of culture, grew up in the army college, there is no lack of insight, dry about two years more, white maple but seventeen or eighteen years of age, actually mixed into the station chief of the waste collection station.

By the way, his life will be like this, the age of a little older to marry a daughter-in-law to live, the glory of his grandfather and he has nothing to do with it, just a chance, Bai Feng participated in a junior high school classmates of a party, this party completely changed his life.

The old Beijing school, famous is so few, and Bai Feng’s school, basically are the children of the army or local cadres, this party is also the same, come to the classmates although most of them are still in school. But the dress code is much more fashionable than Bai Feng.

White maple for the high heart, he knows that he does not belong to this circle, in the party are only with ears without mouth, light to listen not to say, one of the students in the show-off time, said the words attracted him.

That classmate has a relative in Hong Kong, this year back to the mainland to visit relatives, bring a lot of electrical appliances can not be seen in Beijing, and also said that in Hong Kong, that place, from the mainland to flow over a book of what a broken book, actually can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars, in the mouth of the classmate, it seems that Hong Kong is full of gold.

Said the heartless, the listener has the intention, we all just as a joke, listen to it, but white maple this heart, but the ripples, broken book? Their own that acquisition station, is the broken book more, these years he has seen a lot, and he also once picked up from the inside of a Qianlong Emperor when the imperial decree it! These things, will it be worth money?

The heart of the question and on the heart of the white maple, intentionally or unintentionally began to brag about the students to, he mixed in society for a few years, want to brag about this is still in school half a big kid, it is not simple, a few words down, the students will be happy to find the north, as a confidant of the maple, and the maple from his mouth to hear a term: antiques!

Just that student also can not say what is called antique, anyway, is the age of the object on the value of money. But this can not be difficult to Bai Feng, after the end of the reunion, he asked around, and finally found the Liuli Factory, a look, only to know, dare to own the previous handled those objects, but also are precious ah!

Recognize the value of those rags, white maple can be on the heart, to those picking up the rags also explained, collect more old books and paintings, his purchase station high price recovery, the so-called high price, in fact, but it is a book of money, a painting a few pennies, but in those days, these things are weighed by the catty to sell a catty, a catty, but a few pennies, a listen to white maple single on the receipt of the book, the near and distant collection of rags to this side! The rag collectors from near and far all went this way.

Of course, white maple is not a chaotic collection, from getting this information, he is working during the day, the night to the Liulichang in the various stores inside the drill, that would not have Panjiayuan it, Beijing antique market is concentrated in the Liulichang.

Due to the age of the white maple sweet-talking, people and diligent, often help to clean up the health splash a water what, one to two go, glazed factory those sitting in the hall of the master, are quite like him, nothing to point out a few sentences, which makes the white maple antique appreciation of knowledge, that is rubbing upward.

But is just two months time, white maple dry two years of wages earned money, changed into a pile of broken books and paintings, and some ceramic tiles. And his old man’s savings for more than ten years, but also secretly tossed the light, just this light out not into, is not a way ah! White maple helpless, took a Qing Kangxi porcelain, sold to the glazed factory of an antique store, change back thousands of dollars.

To know, that will be a person’s monthly salary is only a few dozen dollars, a thousand dollars has been considered a huge sum of money, just white maple is not satisfied, his heart, always remember the words of the students, these things to Hong Kong, can be worth tens of thousands of dollars!

Thinking about it, Bai Feng clenched his teeth and finally found the classmate, told him that he had a baby, let him contact his relatives, help to sell, and then he and his two and a half, divided equally.

That student’s relative is a businessman, heard this really came, the white maple to him a Huang Gongwang painting, took to Hong Kong, shot more than three hundred thousand high price to, white maple to twelve million, is also considered to be the first bucket of gold in life.

Tasted the sweetness, white maple in addition to privately spend ten thousand dollars, bought a set of good courtyard outside, put the other money into the collection of antiques inside to go, a few years down, he bought the mansion, filled with all kinds of antiques, and then the waste collection station to contract to private, white maple resigned from the public sector, to the collection station to contract down.

To be honest, white maple collected those antiques inside, fake is also quite a lot, but even if it is fake, but also old objects, are the Republic of China or the Ming and Qing dynasty ancient people do old, the value is also very high, that will be the eighties, antique fever has not yet risen, the mainland counterfeiting is very little, so the white maple hoarded a huge wealth.

Waiting for the nineties, go to Hong Kong and other places are more convenient, then carry antiques out of the country is not so strict, and he went out a little bit of objects, the waist completely drummed up, to the end of the nineties, the domestic collectibles market is hot, after the white maple just like a domestic collection of predators, the hands of the objects, and even some of the size of the museum, can not be compared to it.

After the hands of money, white maple and old friends also contacted, and ran a cultural dissemination company, last year he had something to find Ouyang Jun to help, picked a screen to Ouyang Jun, is also Zhuang Rui in the office of Ouyang Jun to see that fan.

Like this object, Bai Feng hand but there are a lot of, to know, the eighties that will, pure Huanghuali old mahogany tables and chairs, five dollars a sheet is optional.

“Brother Bai, our family has not been in Beijing before, we have not been here for a long time, the fourth brother may not have mentioned it to you! By the way, what kind of place are we going to today?”

At this time, Zhuang Rui does not know Bai Feng’s past, but look at its appearance, but also a bit of elegant flavor, wearing a folio of Zhongshan Suit, wearing a pair of glasses, just people into middle age, slightly blossomed.

“Not far from here, there is a piece of old mansion to be torn down, a few days ago there is a brave son of the master to find me, said it is a bit of a good thing, I have not been able to find time to go to see, it happens to be that the military child mentioned that you want to find these objects, today I will take you to see to go to …….”

In recent years, White Maple has been investing all his energy into his film and television culture company and has been spending less time on his antique hobby. Despite this, he still has a strong reputation, and many people seek him out. When he mentioned the ‘冒儿爷,’ it’s a Beijing dialect term that means someone who is quite naive.

“OK, then trouble Brother Bai.” Zhuang Rui nodded, the fault is not the old Beijing, otherwise the general public can not get this information.
