ps: The second update is here, continue to ask for monthly ticket support.

As the saying goes, the old man is so old. Director Wang's eyes are so vicious. He naturally sees that Wang Guan's words are insincere. He is even more curious and can't help asking: "Wang Guan, you can't cross the river and destroy the bridge. Have you discovered something good again? Hurry up

to be honest."

"Director Wang, you are too careful." Wang Guan smiled and said, "The good thing is not a cabbage, how could you find it just by saying it is discovered?"

"I can testify to this."

At the same time, Pi Qiushi next to him smiled and said, "He has really encountered any good things these two days. Even if he takes action, he will only spend 30,000 yuan to buy an old box."

"What old boxes?" Director Wang asked with interest: "Now there are fewer and fewer old-style furniture, and it is also a popular collection, and it is heating up very quickly."

The old-style furniture mentioned here does not refer to the antique furniture of the Ming, Qing and Republic of China, and needs to be distinguished.

Because furniture from the Ming, Qing and Republic of China has long been popular for collections, just look at Mr. Feng. Liangyicai Museum is dedicated to the collection of furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

In fact, the so-called old-style furniture refers to furniture from the 195, 1970s and 1980s after the founding of the People's Republic of China. You should know that the things from that period were not like now. They were defective products made of composite materials everywhere, and it would be good if they could be used for a few years.

Back then, people were simple in their hearts and things that were tapped by workers were famous for their quality. As long as they were kept properly, there would be no trace of damage even if they were used for decades.

This is also the reason why there was a wave of old-for-new trade-in in the late 1990s. Smart merchants have long targeted this market, collected the old furniture, and then re-scraped, scraped, renovated, painted, and sold it.

When I went there, the price increased by more than ten times, and someone recognized the account.

Until now, people are still happy to do this business, which shows how the quality of the old furniture was at that time.

Of course, most of the collections of old furniture today are due to the nostalgia complex. After all, most of the people who came through that era are now the pillars of their homes, and there are also many wealthy bosses. They always enjoy the rich and wealthy food.

I miss the hard and simple days of those days from time to time.

It is also human nature to remember the bitterness and think about the sweetness. However, due to different hobbies, some people focus on stamps and coins at that time, some people focus on comic strips at that time, and naturally some people focus on furniture at that time...

Therefore, in recent years, the old furniture market has become more and more prosperous, and naturally it has become popular.

At this time, Director Wang concluded: "As long as the box is good, 30,000 yuan is not expensive."

"It's really not expensive." Wang Guan smiled. After thinking about it, he suddenly accused him of guilt, walked to the parking area outside the villa, and took the small wooden box into the hall in the car.

When he came in, Wang Guan also wiped away the dust on the surface of the small wooden box, so what he showed in front of everyone is a box that looks ordinary and slightly old and quaint, and there is nothing special about it.

.

"Well, the stuff is good, it is a popular suitcase during the Republic of China."

The person who spoke was Mr. Feng. He was very knowledgeable about antique furniture and could tell the origin of things after a glance. Of course, the so-called things are good and everyone knows them well. That is just a polite word.

Strictly speaking, the material and shape of this small wooden box is average. The surface is only coated with red paint. The paint surface has fallen off, which means the process is also average. In short, things are ordinary old objects and can be used as collectibles.

, but the value is certainly not very high.

"Thirty thousand yuan is not a loss, it just means there is no profit margin." Lao Meng commented, habitually estimating the price.

Hearing everyone's comments, Wang Guan chuckled and suddenly reminded: "Have you noticed that the box is locked."

"oh?"

Everyone was stunned and didn't understand why Wang Guan deliberately emphasized that it was normal for the box to have a lock, so what's so strange about it? With this idea, everyone looked at the lock on the box.

At first glance, everyone's eyes narrowed slightly. Everyone present was experts. They just paid attention to the wooden box itself and did not pay attention to the lock. Now that they noticed it, they naturally could see that the lock was unusual.

"Fine copper clever lock."

At the right time, Director Wang reached out to touch the lock, and after weighing it, he said in surprise: "This is the craftsman's skill. It contains gold in fine copper. Even if he smashes it with a hammer, it will only smash the wooden box.

It will damage the lock."

"etc……"

While speaking, Director Wang felt the texture on the lock, quickly turned the lock head and immediately saw the Manchu text that Wang Guan had just drawn on the other side.

Seeing this, Director Wang was slightly shocked again and quickly looked up and said, "Wang Guan, you just found the word "Heshuo" on the lock."

"Yes." Wang Guan nodded slightly. There is no need to deny what is clearly stated. Besides, he brought the things over, so there is a reason for him. Anyway, he is now planning, so he is waiting for everyone to take the bait.

"That's strange."

Director Wang pondered: "This kind of lock is branded with Manchu text, which means that this is something specially customized by a certain Prince Heshuo Mansion at that time, and ordinary people cannot afford it. Of course, it is not ruled out that this was the lock in the Republic of China period, and the lock was lost.

In the folk, after being obtained by people, I think the locks are of good quality, so I simply left them to use them.”

"It makes sense." Others nodded in agreement. After all, after the Xinhai period, especially during the warlords' melee, the old and young people in the Qing Dynasty had a hard time. They often sold their ancestral property to make a living. It is estimated that things were just like this.

"It's a pity that the lock is broken."

Director Wang shook his head, stretched out his hand and pulled it slightly, and the lock opened in response. Then he flipped open the lid of the box and saw that it was empty and nothing was there. This was inevitable. During the process of the box being circulated

Even if there is something inside, it will probably be taken away.

"It's been so long, and the wood has not yet grown chaff, which is quite rare." Director Wang glanced at him again and immediately smiled: "Let's go back and find someone to wash it, steam it, kill mold, and kill it, probably still

It can be preserved for another hundred years.”

"I won't expect it for a hundred years." Wang Guan said casually: "The box is okay, but it's a bit less special. I don't have the interest to collect it. I will put it in the store and let it wait for someone I really like."

Everyone nodded slightly. This was Wang Guan’s own thing. What he wanted to deal with was his business. Naturally, everyone couldn’t control it, and they didn’t plan to care about it.

"But it's a pity that the corner of the box was bitten a little bit by a mouse." Wang Guan sighed, stretched out his hand to rub the corner of the box, and saw a little wood chips spilling down.

"It's good, I only bit a little bit." Pi Qiushi smiled and said, "It should be that the rats in the city are not wild enough. If they were replaced by wild rats in the countryside, their sharp teeth could break the corners of the table."

"This is also..." Wang Guanshen agreed and continued to rub it, and the wood chips kept falling.

Seeing this, Director Wang frowned and wanted to persuade Wang Guan not to be too careless, otherwise he would rub the box and get the holes pierced by him. However, before he could speak, something strange happened, and Wang Guan was seen.

As I rubbed it, I actually made a ball of paper.

"Huh! What's going on?"

Seeing this, everyone's eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise.

"It feels like the wood chips are not like the decay marks of rat biting..." Wang Guan explained, and then realized that this was a bit redundant, because the others didn't care about the wooden box at all, and their attention was all focused on the paper ball.

The paper ball is not big, it is just a little bigger than the thumb, making it round and beaded. If you see something like this on the ground elsewhere, you will definitely not look at it. But at this moment,

But everyone was watching the paper balls, and the burning level seemed to melt the paper balls.

The main reason is that the paper ball is not an ordinary paper ball. This is definitely not nonsense, because everyone can see it very clearly that the paper ball is not modern paper, but relatively ancient oil paper.

You should know that oil paper is made of tougher raw paper, coated with tung oil or other dry oil. It has fold resistance and waterproof properties, and is used for umbrellas, windows, or various waterproof and moisture-proof packaging. In modern life, it is a good idea to use it.

Very rarely seen in it.

In the ancient wooden box, a ball of oil paper was found. What would everyone's first reaction be?

Generally speaking, smart people do not guess, but choose to check directly. However, smarter people do not take action, but let others do it. So for a moment, others look up at the king.

"Don't stand there, hurry up and take a look." Pi Qiushi urged.

In the expectant eyes of everyone, Wang Guan simply picked up the paper ball, then pulled it carefully, and then slowly spread it open, and finally found that there was another paper ball among the paper ball.

Well, the outer layer of greased paper is just a layer of waterproof packaging, and the things inside are the real goal. At least for Wang Guan, this is his goal.

However, sometimes he knew the answer in advance and lost the fun of exploration, so Wang Guan was not excited. He just slowly unfolded the paper balls in the oil paper and carefully smoothed it into a page.

"Not a page."

Mr. Feng took a look and said in surprise: "It seems to be a bank document, but it is only a part of it."

"Then look for it again, there must be still in the box."

When everyone heard this, they immediately started to explore together. Sure enough, the same piece of paper was found in the other three corners of the box. After sorting it out, a few pages of paper were combined into a document.

Mr. Feng looked at it for a moment and immediately said in shock: "This is a document that someone had stored things at HSBC eighty years ago."

"real?"

When the others heard this, they immediately showed an unexpected and surprised expression, even Wang Guan was no exception. After all, although he knew that there were documents hidden inside the box, he didn't know what was stored, so he was naturally very interested. And the things were secrets.

The stored item does not indicate the name of the item. Even if there are documents in hand, no one knows what the item is.
