Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

"I just said, take this Buddha statue to Blackwater City and find the treasure well."

"And before your Chi is exhausted."

"I can sense that the substance in your Dantian is still very weak. It will take a year or two for it to absorb your Qi."

"To be on the safe side, it's best to go to Blackwater City and find the treasure well within a year."

"Of course, you can also look for experts when you go back and see if they can help you."

Go back to find an expert?

The only master I know is Taoist Master Zhang.

It seems I really need to go find him.

At this time, Boss Dong pushed the door open carrying a thermos bucket.

"Chicken soup is here."

"Shi Tou, drink more to replenish your body."

Chen Bo waved to Boss Dong and said, "You've come just in time."

"I mentioned before that I would give Shizi an extra gift, and I just need your help to make a trip."

This is a bit strange.

Why does it require Boss Dong to make a trip to give me this extra gift?

Boss Dong was also a little confused: "Where are you running to?"

Uncle Chen took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over.

"Go to the Central Police Station and help Shi Zai get his Hong Kong Island identity card."

I stared at the light piece of paper.

Can this piece of paper help me get Hong Kong Island identity?

That’s a Hong Kong identity!

Boss Dong glanced down at the contents of the paper and exclaimed, "Wow!"

"A Justice of the Peace as a surety?!"

"What a great handwriting!"

The original meaning of Justice of the Peace in English is "magistrate" or "peace notary", which is a judicial auxiliary system to maintain social order.

They have the right to visit detention institutions, can meet with detainees at will, and ensure that personal complaints are handled fairly and effectively.

Since the implementation of the Justice of the Peace system in Hong Kong Island, there have been only thirteen Justices of the Peace.

Moreover, those who can become Justices of the Peace are either rich or noble.

That's why Boss Dong screamed in surprise.

"Shizi, take a good look!"

Boss Dong excitedly put the paper in front of me.

Pointing to the signature at the end, he said, "Did you see the JP at the end of the signature?"

"That's short for Justice of the Peace."

"The Justice of the Peace is your surety!"

"Take this to the police station, and even the foreign inspectors will have to be polite to you!"

"Chinese detectives must be even more respectful to you!"

I nodded somewhat confusedly.

I really don't understand what a Justice of the Peace is.

One can only guess from the words that the Justice of the Peace must be a very important person.

Otherwise, how could I get Hong Kong Island identity with just a piece of paper?

Boss Dong seemed to see that I didn't quite understand.

So he leaned over and whispered in my ear, "You can't invite a Justice of the Peace just anytime."

"Didn't I promise to help you get your ID? At the time, I was thinking of paying a few people with no criminal record to act as guarantors, and then smoothing things over with Inspector Cao."

"But Uncle Chen's letter of guarantee is different."

"A Justice of the Peace is guaranteeing it!"

"What we get is not only an identity, but also an identity!"

The meanings of the two identities are very different.

The former is the household registration status on paper, and the latter is the social identity.

A Justice of the Peace acting as a guarantor represents that one has background, support, and connections, which is equivalent to having an official account.

"Thank you, Uncle Chen."

When I thanked him, I was thinking that Uncle Chen could have given me the letter of guarantee on his own, but he waited until Boss Dong came before giving it to him.

This is to be said through Boss Dong.

It made me understand the weight of a Justice of the Peace’s suretyship and how much he paid in return for it.

Gee!

This kind of thinking and tactics really show that he is an old fox.

Uncle Chen smiled and waved his hand gently: "It's no big deal."

"When you come back from Blackwater City, I'll introduce you to some friends who like antiques."

"Then you can partner with Xiao Dong to run their business."

"Tie it or not, Xiaodong?"

Boss Dong nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I've thought so for a long time."

"Once I have obtained a Hong Kong identity for Shitou, I will partner with him to open an antique shop."

"Uncle Chen, please introduce more wealthy people who like antiques to us in the future."

Once again, I witnessed Uncle Chen's skills.

With just two simple words, Boss Dong's interests were turned into rewards for me.

If I really wanted to partner with Boss Dong in the antique business, I would definitely make much more money than selling goods to him directly.

Moreover, the business targets were not individual customers, but wealthy men introduced by Uncle Chen.

Antiques might cost three to five hundred yuan to an average person, but three to five thousand or even tens of thousands to a wealthy person.

The difference in selling price is not a little bit.

Of course, this is not about taking advantage of the rich.

The items sold to the wealthy are not ordinary goods that ordinary people buy, but are genuine and high-quality products.

However, this rule was later broken in China.

Some antique dealers, even appraisal masters who have appeared on TV, sell fakes and forged items to wealthy people at high prices.

Two thousand years ago.

I met Xie Genrong, a wealthy businessman who loved collecting, and was invited to visit his private museum.

From the moment I entered the museum, I didn't dare to speak.

Every item in there is a fake.

Even so, he still boasted about it complacently.

It is said that all the collections are fine products, especially the gold-thread jade burial suit, which can be called a national treasure and is worth tens of billions.

Within two months, he invited several big names in the appraisal industry to come over.

After giving out a generous red envelope, the appraisal experts issued an appraisal certificate stating that the jade burial suit was genuine and had an estimated market value of 2.4 billion yuan.

Then Xie Genrong took some action.

He used the Jade Burial Suit to mortgage 6.6 million yuan from the bank and squandered it.

It wasn't until I heard the news that he was arrested that I suddenly realized what had happened.

It turns out that fakes can be played like this!

This money-making method is more powerful than using counterfeit goods to fool rich people.

It turns out that we should not underestimate the heroes of the world.

Let’s get back to the present.

Uncle Chen left me a phone number and said goodbye to Chen Huimin.

Boss Dong scooped some chicken soup into my mouth with a spoon.

He grumbled, "Uncle Chen's friends are either rich or noble."

"If I really introduce you to each other, it will be a great thing for both of us."

"You can earn more by selling it to wealthy people than by selling it to international collectors."

"When international collectors trade, the prices are always very low. But when selling to wealthy people, it's different. We can sell to them at the market price..."

To put it bluntly, international collectors are also middlemen.

Naturally, you want to buy at a low price.

Then use your influence to sell the goods at a premium.

The rich themselves are the end customers.

Whether buying from an auction house, a collector, or an antique shop, you are the one who pays the highest price in the entire transaction chain.

"However, Uncle Chen was talking about after you returned from Blackwater City."

"If you hadn't come back, Uncle Chen wouldn't have introduced his rich friends to me."

Boss Dong said seriously, "So, you must return safely from Blackwater City."

I was so amused that I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The blank check written by the old fox Uncle Chen actually hooked Boss Dong first.

But according to Uncle Chen, we only need to go to Blackwater City within a year.

It’s a good time to find Professor Zhang and Zhang Nan first.

After solving their problems, go to Blackwater City.

Maybe we can get more clues about Blackwater City from Professor Zhang.

It seems that I have to return home as soon as possible.

I was just about to discuss the time of returning home with Boss Dong when the door of the ward was pushed open with a bang.

Chen Huimin left and returned.

With a complicated expression, he handed me a note: "Ye Han's people have sent me news that Saito Akihiro has committed suicide."

"This is the blood letter he left for you before he committed suicide."
