Chapter 1 Plan ahead
Everything is done with profit first.
What a garden city is, it’s just an excuse. The urban reconstruction project on Yanjiang Road should not include the Jia family’s old house in the plan at all. It is a cultural relic. Dongsheng Group wants to demolish the Jia family’s old house. The reason is very simple.
The area covered is really too large, more than a thousand square meters. What does this mean in the city center?
Money, this is a lot of money.
Zhang Xixi told Jia Simiao about this matter, and he came to ask Ji Shihua to confirm.
Now that it was confirmed that people from the Dongsheng Group were behind the scenes, Jia Simiao felt confident.
After leaving the city's demolition office, he directly called a taxi and went to the city's Cultural Relics Bureau. Are cultural relics valuable? But the Cultural Relics Bureau is a Qingshui yamen, unlike the Development and Reform Commission and the Finance Bureau, which are all powerful people who either have power or money.
Department, there are not many people willing to work in the Cultural Relics Bureau, and most of them are intellectuals.
When Jia Simiao walked in and explained his purpose, he was immediately warmly received.
Director Lu looks like he is in his fifties, his hair is a little gray, he is wearing a pair of glasses for myopia, and he has some dark brown wrinkles on his face and hands. He seems to be someone who has endured hardship. Especially this
He has a pair of big hands, and there are many calluses that are not obvious. He is wearing a shirt, with the cuffs rolled up, which looks not very neat, and there are some inconspicuous stains.
It seems that he doesn't look like a director of cultural relics, but more like a laborer.
However, Jia Simiao understands that in our line of work, we love to build ancient tombs and caves. If we have been engaged in excavation or survey work for a long time, we are definitely not as pampered as those who sit in the office.
They are the real people who have gone through the baptism of wind and rain and are worthy of respect.
Director Lu pushed up his glasses and asked excitedly, "You said you are the owner of the Jia family's old house?"
Jia Simiao smiled and said, "Yes, my name is Jia Simiao."
"Then what's the relationship between Jia Banxian and you?"
"Oh, that's my grandpa."
Director Lu sighed with emotion: "Your grandfather is an amazing master. He is proficient in Qimen Dunjia, Five Elements Bagua, star divination, medical skills, antiques and so on. Once, we unearthed a stone in Dawan Village, Nanfeng City.
It was a cultural relic, but I couldn't tell the year. Later, cultural relic experts from the province came, but they couldn't tell. Your grandfather recognized it at a glance. It was an antique from the Shang and Zhou dynasties. It was amazing, really amazing.
"
Jia Simiao was happy, does grandpa still have this ability? Jia Simiao didn't believe it was from Shang and Zhou Dynasty. If it was from last week, it was pretty much the same.
"Director Lu, my grandfather often mentioned you to me. When I returned to Nanjiang City this time, I came here specifically to visit you."
Director Lu rubbed his hands, a little flattered, and said quickly: "I dare not say that. If I have a chance, I would like to go to Lingnan to visit your grandfather and learn from him."
Jia Simiao smiled and said: "There will definitely be such an opportunity! In fact, I came to see Director Lu this time to discuss something with you."
"Oh? You said."
"Our Jia family has some cultural relics, and we want to hold a cultural relics exhibition in the Jia family's old house to cultivate people's spiritual sentiments. But I still feel that there is something missing. I hope Director Lu can help and take out some cultural relics from the city museum.
Come, put it in our Jia family’s old house, and let’s organize this cultural relics exhibition together.”
Director Lu exclaimed and said excitedly: "Are you...serious?"
Jia Simiao said: "There is absolutely no joke."
Director Lu said excitedly: "Our Cultural Relics Bureau has just unearthed some cultural relics, and we are thinking of finding a place to display them. This suggestion you made just solves a big problem faced by our Cultural Relics Bureau. Okay, it's really great."
This was beyond Jia Simiao's expectation. He smiled and said, "This is called coincidence."
"Haha, yes, yes, it coincides with each other."
"But……"
Jia Simiao suddenly made a long sound, which made Director Lu's heart suddenly tighten. He quickly asked: "What's wrong? Do you have any difficulties there?"
Jia Simiao said: "There is no difficulty at all. I just wonder, is our Jia family's old house considered a cultural relic?"
Director Lu said loudly: "What is counting? That is cultural relics."
Jia Simiao sighed: "But our family does not have a cultural relic appraisal certificate."
Director Lu smiled and said: "This matter is simple. Our Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau has already studied your Jia family's old house. It is a cultural relic from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties and is of considerable historical value. If you have any concerns, I can
I will report it to the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau immediately and apply for city cultural relics protection heritage. If you get the certificate, your Jia family’s old house will really be famous."
Jia Simiao asked: "Then... when can we hold our cultural relics exhibition?"
"Of course, the sooner the better, we will do it whenever you are ready."
"I don't have a problem. When you can apply for the municipal cultural relics protection and cultural relics appraisal certificate, I will apply for it immediately."
"Okay, let's make an agreement then. I'll go to the provincial capital right now."
Jia Simiao smiled and said: "Then I will wait for the good news from Director Lu. However, I think it is best not to make any publicity about this matter for the time being. Once everything is settled, we can make an announcement again. I guarantee it will be
A blockbuster.”
Director Lu was overjoyed and said: "Okay, okay, the young man has a great future. I'll do as you say."
After coming out of the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau, Jia Simiao's mood suddenly brightened. I don't care if you are from the Dongsheng Group or the deputy mayor. This time, I will get the cultural relics protection and cultural relics appraisal certificates. You
Do you still dare to demolish it? That is destroying cultural relics and you will be held legally responsible.
At this time, Jia Simiao's cell phone rang. It was Zhang Xixi.
He pressed the connect button, and Zhang Xixi's impatient voice immediately came from inside: "Brother Jia, didn't you say we were going to close the store today? Why haven't you heard from me yet?"
"Where are you? If you are still at home, just pack up and come out, and we will go to eat. I guess we will have some information after we finish eating."
"Really? I'll come out right away."
The two of them found a small restaurant, ordered two random dishes, and ordered two bottles of beer. When they were done eating and drinking, Jia Simiao's cell phone rang, and it was He Runxi who called. Jia Simiao shouted at
Zhang Xixi raised her eyebrows, then connected the phone and pressed the hands-free button at the same time.
He Runxi's crying voice came from the microphone: "Xiao Jia...oh, Mr. Jia, where are you now? I know I was wrong and I shouldn't bully you. Come here quickly, I beg you.
"
"What's wrong with you?" Jia Simiao asked deliberately and sighed: "Oh, I wanted to rush over, but you didn't let me and my girlfriend practice stalling in front of your store. We have already
When I go back to the countryside, I plan to raise money to open a store. If I don’t have a store here, I’ll be bullied no matter what I do.”
"Store? Yes, yes. What do you think of my store? I can sublet it to you. If you want to buy it, I can also lower the price and sell it to you cheaper."
Jia Simiao chirped twice and said, "My girlfriend and I discussed it and wanted to buy a store, but I didn't have that much money on hand..."
He Runxi was about to cry and said quickly: "I've given my store to you. Just accept it and pay me in installments. Or you can give it to me whenever you have it."
Jia Simiao said: "That's it. Then I'll discuss it with my girlfriend. If she says it's okay, we'll go over and take a look."
He Runxi is really crying. With such favorable conditions, don't hesitate and come over quickly.
Zhang Xixi next to her couldn't hold it in any longer and said loudly: "Okay, okay, we'll go there right away."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xixi said excitedly: "Brother Jia, what on earth did you do? How could that greedy guy He Runxi think of giving us a cheap store?"
Jia Simiao smiled and said: "It's nothing. Do you still remember the five hundred yuan you gave me? I rubbed it with my hands and put itching powder on the money. He Runxi grabbed the money and naturally felt it on his hands.
I applied itching powder. Without my unique antidote, no one can cure it."
Sometimes, the itch is more unbearable than the pain.
Zhang Xixi was happy and giggled: "Brother Jia, are you too bad? But... I like it. Come on, let's go quickly. I really can't wait."
After paying the boss, Zhang Xixi dragged Jia Simiao and ran out.
