After hanging up the phone, Ye Zhiqiu signed the contract, and Liu Heping happily left with the remaining contracts.
At this time, a red BMW X3 stopped in front of the store. The fat man got out of the car and walked over quickly.
"Zhiqiu, okay, I haven't been here for two days. Not only did I open a store, but I also killed everyone in the Han family's quarry! It's so fun!"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said: "Don't praise me! It's just good luck! Are you coming back today and not going to the provincial capital?"
The fat man shook his head: "I won't go for now!"
"My family asked me to learn how to do business, but I'm not interested in that at all! I want to learn to pick up leaks from you, how about it? It doesn't require any effort or brainpower!"
"But my parents didn't agree at all. They said I didn't have that talent! They also said that if you hadn't taken care of me, I wouldn't have been able to find that good thing last time. They told me to give up as soon as possible! What do you think?"
Ye Zhiqiu really couldn't come up with any ideas, so he pondered for a moment: "You don't really like picking up leaks, do you? You prefer the feeling of doing nothing but making money every day?"
The fat man punched his chest in embarrassment: "You still understand me!"
"You can only make your own decision! You really don't want to take over your family's company. Your uncle and aunt are young now and they are not in a hurry! So is there anything you want to do?"
The fat man stretched out his hand to scratch his head and said with a smile: "No. As you know, I don't have any ambitions. It would be great if I can eat, drink and have fun every day!"
Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help being speechless: "You don't have a direction in life, so I can't help you!"
"Don't think so much!" The fat man suddenly changed the topic.
"Zhiqiu, I heard that Taohua Village in the north of the city is being demolished collectively. There should be a lot of good things. Let's go and take a look?"
Ye Zhiqiu also heard about this and had this plan in mind. He nodded and said: "Okay!" He said and walked towards his Cayenne.
The fat man looked envious: "I'll go! Did you get so rich like this? Did you change it to a Cayenne? With the money you earn, you can buy a car with confidence!"
He said, helplessly jumped into his BMW X3, started the car first, and drove away quickly.
The two SUVs drove out of Jianghai City and headed straight to Taohua Village in the north.
Two hours later, in a dilapidated countryside, two luxury cars slowly drove in.
Due to the collective demolition of Taohua Village, all kinds of garbage are piled up on the roadside.
Most people have moved away, but there are still some old people who are nostalgic and have not moved out yet, but they are also cleaning out their collection of old things.
Ye Zhiqiu and Fatty parked the car in the small square in the west of the village and walked towards the village.
The two walked through the streets and alleys, covering most of the village, but found nothing of value.
"Zhiqiu, do you think they have sold all their things? Or are they not at all?"
Ye Zhiqiu shook his head and said: "It's hard to say! Nowadays, those antique dealers are so pervasive that even families hidden deep in the mountains can't escape their clutches. Taohua Village has been raided by those dealers so many times. I'm afraid there won't be any left. What a valuable thing!”
The fat man was a little downcast and cursed: "It's rare for me to come out once, do you still want me to go back empty-handed?"
Suddenly, the two of them passed by a courtyard house. The door of the courtyard was wide open, and they saw an old man in his sixties, pushing a small cart filled with various garbage and walking towards the garbage dump not far away.
When you get to the garbage dump, you dump the contents of the car on the ground, turn around and push the cart away.
Ye Zhiqiu used his clairvoyant eyes to scan the garbage pile. Suddenly, he felt a faint red light flash by.
Before he could speak, the fat man had already hurried over, picked up a branch, and picked through the garbage. Suddenly he found a palm-sized cyan inkstone.
His eyes were shining brightly as he looked at the inkstone, only to see that it was covered with scratches. There was also an inkstone box made of lacquer, enamel and other materials scattered beside it.
The surface of the inkstone box is mottled and faded.
The fat man reached out and grabbed it. He looked around, but no one noticed. He asked in a low voice, "Is this an inkstone? Zhiqiu, look at it. Is it an antique? Is it valuable?"
Ye Zhiqiu secretly sighed in his heart. Fatty was indeed lucky. He had already found this treasure before he even opened his mouth.
"This is the Songhua River stone inkstone that was used by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty!"
"Holy shit!" The fat man was shocked.
"Emperor Kangxi's things? They must be very valuable, right?"
Ye Zhiqiu pursed his lips: "Pick up the inkstone box on the ground. They are in a set, so they are valuable!"
The fat man hurriedly picked up the box and put it in his pocket hurriedly, fearing that the villagers would see it.
The two of them continued strolling around as if nothing had happened.
"Zhiqiu, I know that Duan Inkstone, Tao Inkstone, She Inkstone, and Chengni Inkstone are called the four famous inkstones! I have never heard of this Songhua Inkstone!"
Ye Zhiqiu whispered: "Everyone knows the four famous inkstones, and the emperor of the Qing Dynasty is no exception."
"When they first entered the customs, Emperors Shunzhi and Kangxi also used Duan inkstones, but when Emperor Kangxi visited the Northeast for the second time, he accidentally discovered pine flower stones, which can be made into inkstones!"
"Moreover, the inkstone is smooth but does not resist ink, and is astringent without stagnation in writing. It is no less good than the four famous inkstones!"
"The Northeast is the birthplace of the Qing Dynasty. In order to remind future generations not to forget their roots, the Manchu nobles vigorously promoted inkstones made of Songhua River stone in the Northeast! Therefore, after Kangxi, Emperors Yongzheng, Qianlong, and Jiaqing used Songhua River stone inkstones one after another!"
The fat man nodded: "I see! But now in the antique market, there seems to be no collection of Songhua River inkstones!"
"Of course! It's just that the Songhua River stone inkstone was only used by the royal family of the Qing Dynasty. Even those ministers in the court, without the emperor's reward, couldn't get the raw stone to make the inkstone, so this inkstone is not very famous!" Ye Zhiqiu said slowly.
"After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, this kind of inkstone became even less known!"
"But in the antique circle, senior players all know the existence of Songhua River stone inkstones! The market price is also extremely high!"
"Three years ago, a Yongzheng Songhua River stone inkstone was auctioned for 1.5 million in the Magic City!"
Ye Zhiqiu glanced at the fat man.
"It has been three years, and all kinds of antiques have been increasing year by year. This one is well preserved and should be worth about two million! However, we need to find players who especially like to collect inkstones!"
"Inkstones themselves are unpopular, and Songhuajiang stone inkstones are even more unpopular. If they don't really like collecting inkstones, most collectors won't want them!"
The fat man nodded and suddenly said: "Zhiqiu, we discovered this inkstone together! When the money is sold, we will split it half!"
Ye Zhiqiu shook his head: "Keep it for yourself, you discovered it yourself!"
