Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

"…My family's situation is rather complicated and cannot be explained in a few words. Now I am the only one who can take care of my father."

Zhang Nan didn't want to say more, and I didn't want to ask any further questions.

Next, we have to find the Baon snake within three months, and there is no time to help take care of Professor Zhang.

It's not a good idea to leave her alone in the hospital.

After some thought, I said, "Sister Nan, why don't we transfer Professor Zhang to the cadre ward? There will be someone to take care of him, and you won't have to work so hard."

"Although my father is a professor, he is not qualified to be admitted to the cadre ward."

Not everyone can stay in the cadre ward of the provincial hospital.

Professor level is not enough here.

Even if the municipal government wants to move in, they have to ask someone for permission.

"That's not a big deal. My grandfather is in the cadre ward. We have connections."

Zhang Nan's eyes lit up.

Patients in the cadre ward not only have dedicated care, but also enjoy different levels of treatment. Professor Zhang, who is still in a coma, needs the best doctor.

She nodded repeatedly and said, "Thank you for your help. If it's difficult, please don't force yourself."

"Don't force me, I'll do it right away."

After leaving the ward, I took Haozi to see Boss Dong.

The fine gold and jade pieces I got from Tuo Ye will only cause trouble if I keep them. It would be better to find Boss Dong to cash them in.

By the way, I'd like to ask if it is possible to send grandpa to Hong Kong Island for treatment, and then arrange for Professor Zhang to be transferred to the cadre ward.

Arrived at the hotel room with ease.

Boss Dong put his arm around my shoulders enthusiastically.

"Brother Shi Tou, I miss you so much, haha."

"Hurry up and sit down. I'll pour you some tea. Pour good tea!"

Boss Dong shook the exquisite tea canister and said as if presenting a treasure, "Red Label Songpinhao Old Pu'er. I bought a cake from Lu Yu Tea House in Hong Kong Island and pried it open. I usually don't want to drink it."

"Brother Dong, we don't know anything about tea, so let's not waste your good tea."

I really don't understand tea.

At that time, factory workers generally drank labor protection tea, such as Monkey King Jasmine Tea, which was brewed in a large enamel pot and could be drunk from morning to night.

The villagers don’t even drink tea very often. When guests come to their home, they are not treated with tea but with brown sugar water.

"If you don't understand, you can learn."

"Brother Shitou, you must learn how to appreciate tea and wine, discuss poetry, painting, and romance as soon as possible. Only by learning these can you interact with the upper class and avoid being looked down upon."

Boss Dong was very open with me and told me a lot about the romantic life of the upper class, which made me yearn for it.

Later I found out that this was just a disguised form of empty promises.

Only when you know that there is a better life and a more beautiful world out there will you work hard and create greater benefits for it.

"Hong Kong Island is so great! I want to go there and see more of it. I especially want to see those pretty girls that Brother Dong mentioned..."

Cui Hao was so excited after hearing this that he wished he could grow wings and fly over there to broaden his horizons.

"Hahaha, going to Hong Kong Island is not difficult. As long as you have enough money, I can help you complete the formalities in minutes."

Seeing how lightly he said it, I was immediately attracted.

"Brother Dong, my grandfather's illness can't be cured in the provincial hospital."

"The doctor said that only hospitals in Hong Kong Island can treat it. Can you help send my grandfather to Hong Kong Island for treatment?"

Boss Dong said with a smile, "The best doctors in Hong Kong Island are all in private hospitals. Their level is indeed much higher than yours, but the fees are also very high."

"As I said, as long as you have enough money, nothing is a problem. We can even hire the best doctors in the world for you."

I don't know how high he means by very high.

So he gave Cui Hao a look and asked him to take out everything he had brought.

"Brother Dong, let's take a look at the goods first."

"Alright! I've been waiting for you to say that. Last time, when Brother Cui Hao asked me to help him get some equipment, I knew you were going to do something big."

Boss Dong couldn't wait to see the goods.

But if I don't take out the goods, he won't bring it up.

Cui Hao first took out the golden seal and placed it on the table.

Boss Dong's eyes widened immediately: "Oh, the gold seal!"

There is a very lifelike turtle button on the square gold seal, and Boss Dong couldn't put it down as soon as he picked it up.

After carefully looking at the turtle button, turn it over to look at the seal surface.

The four characters "Guan Zhong Hou Yin" are written in white seal script, and the carving is strong and powerful.

Marquis of Guanzhong was a title created during the Cao Wei period. It was a nominal title without any fiefdom and was mainly used to reward military merit.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the title of Guanzhong Marquis was gradually abandoned.

"A golden seal of the Marquis of Guanzhong from the Cao Wei to the Jin Dynasty period. It's very rare, a great item!"

"There are more good things to come, please pay attention, Brother Dong." Cui Hao proudly made a gesture of invitation.

Boss Dong looked at them one by one and frowned slightly.

"They are indeed good things, but they don't seem to be from the same era. They don't seem to come from the same place."

He thought I had poured out a big bucket, thinking that things taken out of the same tomb must be from the same era.

But what I brought was the collection that Grandpa Tuo had accumulated over the years.

I don’t know how many tombs these things were taken out from, and they are definitely not from the same period.

That's why Boss Dong has this doubt.

"This is the compensation given to me by my seniors in the industry. It didn't come from a single tomb. The sources are quite mixed."

"I see."

Boss Dong nodded.

I looked at all the gold and jade artifacts over and over again.

"Every piece is exquisite. Your senior is truly an expert."

"These things together are worth quite a bit. You just said you wanted to send Grandpa to Hong Kong Island for treatment, right?"

"Yes." I was a little excited.

Judging from what Boss Dong said, the value of these things should be enough to send grandpa to get his medical treatment.

"Well, you bring your things with me to Hong Kong Island to settle the bill."

"Go to Hong Kong Island to pay the bill?" Cui Hao and I were both confused.

"No one recognizes Great Unity in Hong Kong Island. I'll pay your bill here, but you can't use your money in Hong Kong Island."

"The most convenient way is to bring the goods with me to Hong Kong Island. I'll open a bank account for you there and transfer the money directly to you."

Then it dawned on me.

The banknotes used in Hong Kong are different from those in China.

"Oh, but I have more important things to do. I can't go to Hong Kong Island right away."

"That would be troublesome."

Boss Dong looked at the things on the table, his eyes full of reluctance.

He was worried that if we couldn't reach an agreement, I would sell these high-quality goods to others, which would mean a huge loss of money.

After careful consideration, Boss Dong said seriously, "Brother Shitou, I treat you as my own brother. Your grandfather is my grandfather, Dong Liheng!"

"I can send your grandfather to Hong Kong Island for treatment, and I will pay for all the expenses first."

"I'll pay you for these goods now, and we'll settle the medical expenses after your grandfather is cured."

I didn't expect him to be so nice.

He actually agreed to advance the medical expenses for grandpa.

"That's so embarrassing."

I feel really embarrassed and always feel like I've taken advantage of him.

Boss Dong smiled and said, "Don't be embarrassed. If it were someone else, I definitely wouldn't help you like this, but I'm investing in you as a person."

"So I have to make a deal with you. If you want to ship something in the future, you must show it to me first. I won't accept it until you give it to someone else."

"And I promise I won't lower your price. It will be at least 10% higher than what our competitors are paying."

"So, do you agree to my agreement?"
