"Lao Hu, you're here just in time! I have one more thing to ask you!
In addition to your trust store system, there is also a cultural relic store. You can also help me collect it.
Get me all the good things." Zhang Junping said to Lao Hu with a smile.
"The cultural relics store should have more stuff than the trust store. I'll go back to store manager Liu and ask him to communicate with the leaders of those cultural relics stores." Lao Hu nodded and agreed.
"Old Hu, the emperor has no shortage of soldiers.
You help me collect old objects from the BJ world.
I can't let you work in vain.
I won’t give you any more money. I believe that with what you, Lao Hu, can do, you will definitely not be short of money.
It's just that I didn't dare to spend it because I didn't have the opportunity.
So be it! I owe you a favor. Whenever you need it, just come to me directly.
I work in BJ Painting Store now, you can come find me there." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Then I will make a lot of money. Master Zhang's favors are not easy to get!" Lao Hu said with a smile.
"I made you laugh! I really can't think of how to repay you for your help today, and I don't know what you, old Hu, lack.
Just fooling around with a favor!" Zhang Junping said with a self-deprecating smile.
"Master Zhang, you are so humble. Who in Sijiu City doesn't know your name, Master Zhang?"
They all want to see you, but it's a pity that they want to burn incense but can't find the temple gate."
"Lao Hu, I have such a big name? Why didn't I know?" Zhang Junping was really curious.
"You don't know, after Lin San died, many people were looking at the Pigeon Market at Caishikou.
Want to get a piece of the pie, or simply take this cornucopia into your pocket.
As a result, no one expected that the originally inconspicuous Scarface suddenly became the boss and firmly established himself.
The officials didn't look for trouble, and others didn't dare to mess around.
Afterwards, Scarface took out a large amount of scarce supplies and quickly stabilized the situation.
Naturally, everyone does not believe that Scarface can have such great abilities. They are all guessing who is the person behind Scarface.
No one dared to reach out without knowing who was behind.
Of course, those who dare to reach out are all stupid. Scarface can handle such a role by himself.
Later, I slowly heard some news that the person behind Scarface was a man named Mr. Zhang.
This Mr. Zhang has great supernatural powers and can speak to many units in BJ City.
After Scarface followed Mr. Zhang, he also entered and left various national units and became a prominent figure.
At best, these will only scare those who want to reach out, but they will not make people respect Mr. Zhang behind him.
Until some time ago, Scarface and his four King Kongs suddenly transformed into Xiangjiang people.
He became a Hong Kong businessman and invested in a large restaurant.
Now, the people on the Forty-Nine City Road are truly convinced of Mr. Zhang behind Scarface, and believe that Mr. Zhang is a big shot with great hands and eyes." Lao Hu told Zhang Junping everything he knew.
After Zhang Junping heard this, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
Rather than saying that he is awesome, it is better to say that Scarface is good at seizing opportunities.
He arranged for him to deliver supplies to several units and enterprises, but he took advantage of them all, using the tiger skin as a banner, which frightened those with ulterior motives.
Later, I got him the identity of Xiangjiang.
In the 1980s and 1990s, the status of foreigners in the country was indeed...
This kind of thing makes Zhang Junping, a latecomer, very depressed, but there is nothing he can do about it.
"Lao Hu, if you want Xiangjiang status, I can help you get it.
Whether it's Xiangjiang, Bald Eagle, or the nationality of other European countries, I can help you." Zhang Junping also heard the subtext in the old nonsense and said with a smile.
"Oh! Then I have to thank you first, Mr. Zhang!" Lao Hu was overjoyed and quickly raised his hands to express his thanks.
Talking to smart people saves trouble.
"But, Lao Hu, do you still remember what I just said?
I'll help you get one from abroad. I also want a nationality, so there's no problem.
Not worth mentioning to me.
You can go out, but except for gold, silver, jewelry, and other old items from our country, you can’t take away any of them,” Zhang Junping said sternly.
"Don't be too busy vetoing it, or justifying that you don't have anything in hand.
That would be an insult to you and me.
If you look stupid, if you don't have a few good national treasures in your hand, I will pull off my eyeballs and use them as a yo-yo for you to play with." Zhang Junping said to Lao Hu in a calm tone.
Lao Hu was shocked. Zhang Junping's seemingly plain words revealed an undoubted momentum.
Lao Hu knew that his little fortune was being targeted.
But he was unable to resist.
Others don't know, but as the successor of Xingyi Quan, he understands better than anyone else how terrifying this Master Zhang is.
Every move is in harmony with nature, and although his posture is restrained, he exudes an elegant and easy-going attitude.
However, Lao Hu could feel the domineering and murderous intent hidden beneath the elegance and easy-going manner.
This is an intuition developed from decades of hard training in Xingyiquan.
If you fight with the opponent, you may not be able to last a round and will be killed.
This made Lao Hu feel a little disheartened. Could it be that the family property that he had saved with so much hard work and effort was just taking advantage of others?
Lao Hu is not naive enough to think that as long as he doesn't want that foreign nationality, everything will be fine.
Since someone is already thinking about him, the final outcome will be the same whether he goes abroad or not.
"Old Hu, I heard from Dashan that before the founding of the People's Republic of China, what you, Mr. Hu, emphasized in doing business was honesty and fair dealing.
What a coincidence, I am like this too!
I just like fair trade.
I have said this to others more than once.
You can't kill me with one shot, but if I survive, I will still do business with you, as long as the price is fair.
So, Lao Hu, you don’t have to worry about me worrying about your family property.
If you don't go abroad, I won't worry about those things of yours, as long as you don't sell them to foreigners.
If you go abroad, as long as you don't take those things with you, I won't care about them either.
If you feel like you don't have enough money, you want to get rid of some things and change some money so that you can be around outside.
Then you can find me!
In the whole country, only I can offer the starting price, and only I can offer so much foreign exchange.
You don’t have to worry about me lowering the price.
Those treasures in your hand, I will double them for you according to the domestic market conditions." Zhang Jun said with a flat smile.
"Master Zhang, I'm convinced! You are indeed benevolent and righteous! You do everything right!
Just as you said, instead of taking my old things out, I will be called a traitor and a lackey, a prodigal son.
Why don't I give it all to you! I can exchange some money for myself." Lao Hu apologized with his hands in his hands.
"Hahaha!
Lao Hu, that’s right!
Don't worry, I'm easy to talk to. If you feel you've lost money on the price, you can raise it.
These are all small things and can be discussed!" Zhang Junping laughed with satisfaction and patted Lao Hu on the shoulder.
This is a smart man.
"Thank you Mr. Zhang for taking care of me!
I don’t plan to come back after I go out this time, and I don’t have anything to worry about anyway.
I still have a house and a store in my hands, so I might as well sell them to Mr. Zhang!
However, I live in the house, and the front door is not in my hands. It is used by the Dashilan Subdistrict Office."
"Is there a title deed?"
"have!"
"As long as there is a land deed, it will be easy! Where is your frontman?" Zhang Junping smiled and nodded.
"On Meishi Street."
"okay, I get it!
These things are quite sudden today, and I guess you are not prepared for them.
So let's not talk about the price today. Please help me properly first.
After the New Year, let’s make an appointment again to sit down and chat slowly. What do you think?” Zhang Junping asked with a smile.
"Listen to Mr. Zhang!" Lao Hu said respectfully.
"Okay, go and do your work!" Zhang Junping waved his hand and asked Lao Hu to leave.
Looking at Lao Hu's back, Zhang Junping couldn't help but smile on his lips.
Lao Hu came here specifically to find him, and emphatically mentioned Scarface's household registration in Xiangjiang.
Zhang Junping guessed that Lao Hu was planning to go out.
A person who has been dealing with antiques all his life would not have anything good in his hands?
Zhang Junping didn't believe it, so he blew up Lao Hu.
Unexpectedly, something actually exploded.
He mentioned the national treasure and Lao Hu didn't refute it, so he must have something of national treasure level in his hands.
Moreover, it can be seen that Lao Hu has more than one national treasure in his hands.
It is also understandable that in Lao Hu’s profession, it is easy to come into contact with such things.
In the chaotic era of the Republic of China, as long as you were willing, collecting some national treasure-level cultural relics was not a problem at all.
It is not an easy task to hide these national treasure-level cultural relics.
However, Lao Hu was able to survive that era safely and remain standing, which hardly explains his ability.
You can imagine that it is nothing more than donating some unimportant high-quality antiques to the Palace Museum or the National Museum in exchange for a good reputation.
Then he relies on his reputation and status in the world to get everything he wants.
Lao Hu used to be the shopkeeper of an antique shop, which was his specialty.
Seeing Lao Hu leave the courtyard, Zhang Junping gathered his mood and followed him out of the courtyard.
We agreed to treat Scarface and his gang to drinks and dinner tonight.
He has to prepare something.
After walking around outside, Zhang Junping led a cart to the large restaurant outside Guang'an Gate.
I originally thought about inviting Scarface and the others to have a drink in the courtyard, but then I thought that the courtyard was inconvenient and there were not all the cooking and cooking facilities.
It would be better to invite Scarface and the others to drink in a restaurant.
Think of it as a trial cooking session in advance.
At this time, in the restaurant, a group of newly recruited waiters were undergoing training.
Seeing Zhang Junping come in, a voluptuous-looking woman in her twenties came over and asked: "Comrade, are you okay? We haven't opened here yet."
"It was Mr. Zhou who asked me to come here to deliver some ingredients. He will entertain guests at the restaurant in the evening." Zhang Junping glanced at the other party and said with a smile.
This woman is really good-looking, both in figure and temperament. She is top-notch. Her mouth is a little bit bigger, but this does not ruin the woman's appearance. On the contrary, it adds a bit of enchanting personality, a bit like Ni Ni.
.
Zhang Junping guessed that this was the person Scarface hired back from BJ Hotel to train his own waiters.
As expected, they are from BJ Hotel. Anyone you choose is always such a top-notch person.
"Oh! Then you can send it to the kitchen!" After saying this, the woman who looked exactly like Ni Ni went to continue training the waiters.
"Comrade, can you ask the waiter in the store to help you?
I brought a lot of ingredients here." Zhang Junping quickly stopped her and said in a negotiating tone.
There is no way, the boss himself is so hidden that no one in the restaurant knows him.
"This...okay!
Please wait a moment, I'll call the manager of the restaurant." The woman hesitated for a moment, but seeing Zhang Junping's majestic, tall and handsome appearance, she didn't have the heart to refuse.
"Master Zhang! Why are you here?" A young man in his twenties with a crew cut came out and saw Zhang Junping and trotted to Zhang Junping's side.
"I'm here to deliver some ingredients and treat you guys to dinner tonight. I've prepared some rare things." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
Zhang Junping knew this man, his name was Ding Zhaoxiang. He was one of Scarface's four great kings, and he was nicknamed the second in the middle.
As for the crew cut, I learned it from him. Scarface was the first to follow him and shaved his head, and then one after another, they all shaved their heads.
Don't tell me, Scarface and his crew are quite intimidating with their crew cuts.
"Why did you ask Mr. Zhang to deliver it in person? Just tell Brother Shan and we can go get it ourselves."
"Da Shan is busy pulling things for me today!
I guess I won't be able to finish tomorrow.
Please arrange for someone to bring the things in!
Then call the chef to see what is missing and hurry up to buy it." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Okay!" Ding Zhaoxiang agreed and turned around to ask someone to move things.
Dong Xiaoman stared at Zhang Junping with twinkling eyes, looking at him curiously.
Dong Xiaoman is the lobby manager of the catering department that Scarface hired from BJ Hotel to train the waiters.
Dong Xiaoman has been here for a while, and during breaks, I often hear Scarface and the others mention the word "Master Zhang".
She just heard these two words again, and they were addressing the young man in front of her with an elegant temperament and a leadership style.
This aroused infinite curiosity in Dong Xiaoman.
"What's wrong? There are flowers on my face?" Zhang Junping asked with a smile.
One sentence made Dong Xiaoman's pretty face turn red.
He smiled awkwardly, turned around and left in a hurry.
"Master Zhang, you have made so many things!" Ding Zhaoxiang went out for a walk and returned to Zhang Junping, saying with excitement in his eyes.
"There is less food, I'm afraid you guys won't have enough to eat.
Is Master Yu here? Ask him if he knows how to prepare these seafood.
If not, I will hurry up and find the chef." Zhang Junping asked with a smile.
"Master Yu is not here, I have already sent someone to call him."
"Okay Xiangzi, get busy!
I won't delay your training.
Check with Master Yu. If you have any questions, hurry up and find me in Dashilar." Zhang Junping patted Ding Zhaoxiang on the shoulder, stood up and left.
"Master Zhang, please walk slowly!" Zhang Junping shouted, making Ding Zhaoxiang feel lighter.
Back in Dashilan, Zhang Junping went to the backyard cellar and put twenty jars of ten-year-old puree in it.
well!
Zhang Junping sighed, there was less and less wine in his space.
This made Zhang Junping feel very insecure.
Zhang Junping was thinking about how to get a few tons of chrysanthemums to be stored in vain.
Also, the stock of Moutai Wuliangye is still too low, so we need to work harder.
Later, I asked Scarface to arrange for two of them to go to various pigeon markets to buy Moutai liquor tickets and Wuliangye liquor tickets.
Come out of the cellar and lock the door.
Zhang Junping returned to the front yard again.
"Leader Zhang, I see you have acquired a lot of old furniture?
There is no shortage of furniture in our yard!
Besides, our factory has plenty of old furniture like this, piles upon piles, and the materials used are better than this." Master Ma approached Zhang Junping and whispered in a low voice.
"Haha! Master Ma, I know the old furniture in your factory.
I have already bought those, but I haven’t taken them away yet.
These furniture are not for use in the yard here.
I just put it away temporarily and will take it away in the evening." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Oh! I'm afraid you'll be fooled!
I took a look at the furniture that was delivered just now. There are cherry wood, walnut wood, elm wood, and wenge wood.
There are also rosewood and ebony furniture, but there are only a few pieces, very few." Master Ma said with a smile.
Ordinarily he shouldn't talk too much, but Zhang Junping was so kind and kind to them. Master Ma was worried that he would be deceived, so he said too much.
"Thank you, Master Ma!" Zhang Junping thanked him politely.
No matter what the outcome is, people's hearts are good.
"By the way, Master Ma, have you finished smoking the tobacco leaves I gave you last time?
I'll get some for you tomorrow." Zhang Junping asked with a smile.
"No! You gave me so much last time, how could we suck it so fast? There's still a lot more!"
"It's okay. If you haven't finished sucking, just keep it and suck it slowly.
I just put this thing here for storage." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
While talking to Master Ma, Zhang Junping thought to himself: Today is the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow will be the 26th of the twelfth lunar month.
It's time to give Master Ma and the others a holiday.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, no one is allowed to visit relatives.
It’s also time for Lao Yang’s side in Baylor Mansion to have a holiday.
Just as he was thinking about it, Scarface came back with another twenty carts of stuff.
"Master Zhang!" Seeing Zhang Junping sitting in the front yard, he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"It's pretty fast!" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Master Zhang, when I went there, everything was ready.
Please wait for us to load the car, please hurry up.
This is the last trip, and this time he has emptied the Tianqiao warehouse." Scarface replied with a smile.
"No more pooping today?"
"Pull! I heard that store manager Liu meant to pull it tomorrow.
He hasn’t communicated well with other trust stores yet.”
"Okay, I get it.
Let them go back! Let everyone go to the restaurant to drink in the evening.
I just sent over some ingredients, you can just bring some beef and mutton over."
After explaining, Zhang Junping also followed the people moving the goods to the backyard.
After he finished moving the things, Zhang Junping opened the cellar door and asked Scarface to go down and bring up the twenty jars of ten-year puree he had just put in.
"Master Zhang, is that the legendary Tiger Whip Wine in those big vats?" Scarface approached Zhang Junping and asked with a sneer.
"Okay, don't worry about it. I'll give you a jar later, so you can keep it and drink it slowly." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
