Volume 5: The Age of Storms Chapter 0606: Let me be an undercover agent? What a joke!
Having talked with Liu Zhen about some major topics the night before, the next day, Nan Yi calmed down and continued to get down to earth.
Still the same, stayed in the office for a while, then ran out.
He went to Dongsi first, looking for the Dongsi Ajing in his memory, but he didn't find it. He guessed that it was not open yet.
This made Nan Yi's idea come to nothing. He originally wanted to introduce a Cantonese restaurant to Asia.
He found a place where he could make long-distance calls, organized the language he was going to speak, and then called Qu Jing to tell her about Asia's preferential policies and ask her to help keep an eye out for anyone willing to open a restaurant. After that, Nan Yi immediately looked at his watch: six minutes and thirty-five seconds.
What a loss. I should have said twenty-four seconds and ninety-nine more.
After visiting four stores in the morning and having lunch at the last one, Nan Yi returned to the office.
As soon as I sat down, the phone rang.
"Nan Yi, right?"
"If it's not me, then who else can I have? If anything goes wrong, let it go."
When Nan Yi heard that it was Chen Feng, he spoke more casually.
"Okay, listen, I'm going to start talking shit."
"Beating sex, talking about things."
"So you can talk like a human being. Let me tell you something about human affairs. I'm going on a business trip soon. I'll be gone for at least 20 days. I've ordered a black good thing from Fangshan Restaurant tonight."
"Bear paw?"
"I know what I'm talking about."
"Nonsense, I ate seven and a half at home last night, and I couldn't finish the remaining half, so I fed it to the dog."
"You are such a good pretender. Six-thirty, punctually. This thing is hard to come by now. The last time I ate it was... Shit, why am I copying you? I've never eaten it before."
"Okay, got it. Let's order some lotus leaf agar-agar."
"become."
Hearing that there was bear paw to eat, Nan Yi's mood became cheerful, his worries at work were reduced a little, and the depression caused by the unsuccessful negotiations with the four companies in the morning was also alleviated a lot.
Nan Yi began to reflect on his actions and found that he had made the mistake of being too eager for success.
Nan Yi wanted to get Yaqing on track as soon as possible, but he was too hasty. He knew very well that the self-employed people nowadays were like frightened birds and did not believe in pie in the sky, but he still went ahead to negotiate. It would be a miracle if it went smoothly.
The most correct approach is to bring in one or two restaurants first, let others see how booming their business is and how much money they are making, and naturally, restaurants outside will come to Yaqing for help.
Not only does Yaqing not need to pay any preferential policies, but it can also increase the rent.
Knock knock knock!
Nan Yi was thinking about something when there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in."
The person who opened the door was Han Meili.
"Boss Nan, there is a man and a woman looking for you. The woman said her name is Luo Qianqian."
"Luo Qianqian...please ask them to come in."
"OK."
As soon as Han Meili left, Nan Yi's mind started working at high speed. "Luo Qianqian definitely didn't come here to discuss compensation with me. If she wanted to, she would have come earlier. And there was a man with her, most likely Captain Zhou. It couldn't be because of what happened on the train. It must have happened in the past or happened to someone in the past..."
Nan Yi quickly eliminated the past from the recent past in his mind, "It's impossible in recent years, he has never done anything out of line.
Something that happened 80 years ago?
Sunglasses, tapes, and electronic watches are out of the question. Those things are no longer a big deal now. Besides, I didn't do anything myself. If there was any trouble, it should have been in Wenchangwei.
Going back further, it was unlikely that the black market would be involved. There were many big businesses at that time, and if there was a real liquidation, it would never be his turn. Besides, the matter had already been dealt with coldly at that time;
antique?
There is no need to come to me for the antiques. Those antiques sent to Xiangkeng were all purchased from state-owned cultural relics stores and were allowed to be exported. Could it be that there are funerary objects among the antiques in the Shanghai air-raid shelter?
Maybe... Lou Xiaoyuan?"
The reason why Nan Yi thought of Lou Xiaoyuan was somewhat related to the picture framing shop. The guy who came to the picture framing shop to frame paintings some time ago could contact Lou Xiaoyuan.
Thinking of this, Nan Yi's thoughts stopped, but he had to stop because the door was knocked again.
"Come in."
The door was opened and Han Meili led a man and a woman in.
"Captain Zhou, Comrade Luo, why are you here?"
Nan Yi first sent Han Meili out, and then greeted her warmly.
"Boss Nan, I'm sorry to bother you." Captain Zhou walked to Nan Yi's desk and said, "Let me formally introduce myself to you, the leader of the 512 task force, Zhou Dingjun."
"Luo Qianqian, a member of the 512 task force." Luo Qianqian on the side also introduced herself.
Nan Yi asked in surprise: "512? In addition to the Workers' Stadium incident, were there any other major events in Beijing this May?"
"Mr. Nan, don't guess. This is not about the capital." Zhou Dingjun sat opposite Nan Yi and said, "I came to you today because I want your help with something."
"Team Leader Zhou, please speak."
From Zhou Yongjun's tone, Nan Yi knew that their purpose had nothing to do with what he needed to worry about.
"Does President Nan know a man called Guizi?"
Nan Yi was stunned for a moment, then said, "I know a lot of Japanese people. Which one are you talking about, Team Leader Zhou?"
"Captain Zhou is talking about a man nicknamed Devil." Luo Qianqian said.
Nan Yi thought about it, recalled it again, and said: "No one I know has this nickname."
Zhou Dingjun asked again: "What about the Nine Gates Admiral?"
"There are many people with this nickname. I know and have heard of several of them. If I'm guessing correctly, Team Leader Zhou is talking about Lou Xiaoyuan, right?"
"It's him. Tell me what your relationship is with him." Zhou Dingjun said calmly.
"To describe my relationship with him, it's actually very simple, just like a buyer and a seller. At the end of 1976, I was collecting antiques outside a state-owned antique shop. One time, I sold him a snuff bottle I had collected. I gave him a good price, and we started chatting.
He asked me to keep any antiques I received in the future for him, and he was willing to pay a high price for them.
When I heard that, of course I agreed.
Later, I sold him two items that I had collected at the door of an antique shop. The price he gave was still good. I then thought that collecting items at the door of an antique shop was not a good idea, so I found a way to buy things from a trust store and started buying from them.
The three pieces I bought at the antique shop were all Qing Dynasty antiques. There are many of them on the market, so they are definitely not national treasures. The trust store did collect some good things, but it is a state-owned unit. Buying things from there is not considered reselling cultural relics, right? "
"Why are you panicking? If anything happened to you, I would have tortured you long ago." Luo Qianqian said disdainfully.
"I have to be nervous. This is a problem I've had since I was a kid. My calves start to tremble when I see a policeman. Look, I'm still shaking now." Nan Yi teased her but cursed her in his heart, "This little girl speaks fluent Beijing dialect. It turns out she's from Chengdu and Beijing. I thought she was born in Chengdu."
Luo Qianqian's life trajectory is mostly that she has lived in Beijing and Chengdu for many years, or simply switched back and forth between the two places, whether it was due to her parents' work or divorce and separation.
"Stop talking nonsense and speak nicely." Luo Qianqian said with a cold face.
"Okay, okay." Nan Yi begged for mercy, and then said to Zhou Dingjun: "Team Leader Zhou, did Lou Xiaoyuan commit a crime? It shouldn't be that serious. This old guy is not short of money."
"No matter how rich I am, I can't compete with you, President Nan. Let me make it clear. I am not interested in your affairs in 1976, and I have no intention of pursuing them."
"That's good, Team Leader Zhou. Then tell me what you need me to do."
"Last year, a group of farmers in Hangzhou dug out a batch of ancient vessels such as tripods, jars and pots. They were discovered by the township cultural officials and reported to the higher-level cultural relics department.
The cultural relics department sent people to deal with it and confiscated the stolen cultural relics, but two national treasures were missing. After investigation, it was found that one of the farmers had sold them to someone else.
Nan Yi asked, "Isn't it that Team Leader Zhou is talking about the Liangzhu Cultural Site?"
"Boss Nan, have you heard of this?"
"No, I guessed. The only place in Hangzhou where a tripod could be found is Liangzhu."
Nan Yi had heard about this matter in his previous life. This was a group of lucky farmers. The items from the Liangzhu cultural site were too old and could not be called cultural relics legally because there were no sentencing standards in this regard in the Cultural Relics Protection Law.
The tomb robbers were not held accountable, which emboldened the farmers, who completely turned over an area of more than three mu of the site. More than 260 cultural relics, including jade cong, jade axes, jade tubes, etc. in the ancient tombs were looted.
Later, archaeologists heard the news and went to rescue and clean up the site. They found that one of the destroyed sites was an extremely rare large tomb group of dignitaries of the late Liangzhu culture; the other was the first site of stacked tombs and altars discovered in China.
These two sites are of extremely important value to the study of the origin of ancient Chinese civilization, the origin of classes and the state. Their destruction cannot be regenerated, causing immeasurable losses.
Chinese people often say that China has a history of about 5,000 years, but this 5,000-year history is just talk without any supporting evidence. The Liangzhu culture is the ironclad evidence that China has a history of 5,000 years.
However important the Liangzhu culture is, digging it now does not count as tomb robbing, and it would be too late to amend the law.
"Yes, it is Liangzhu." Zhou Dingjun nodded and continued, "On May 12 this year, a Ming Dynasty tomb in Gan Province was robbed and more than 200 cultural relics were stolen. According to the arrested criminals, the most precious 22 gold ornaments including the golden phoenix hairpin, golden sparrow, and golden hook were sold to a man named Guizi.
After our investigation, we found that the devil's real name is Li Tangming, a Beijing native. He has been frequenting Beijing hotel coffee shops recently and has frequent contact with foreign guests. We suspect that he is planning to smuggle cultural relics out of the country and sell them to foreigners.
This Li Tangming is actually a subordinate of the Nine Gates Admiral Lou Xiaoyuan. From 1978 to the present, he openly helped Lou Xiaoyuan to purchase , but secretly engaged in tomb robbing and selling stolen goods. "
"Team Leader Zhou, let me interrupt you. What kind of foreign guest did Li Tangming come into contact with? If it was a female foreign guest, it might not be related to the reselling of cultural relics. As far as I know, there is a group of people in foreign-related hotels who specialize in that kind of business with foreign guests."
"I have heard of what you said, but I am sure it is not or not just this."
"All right."
Nan Yi was just interrupting on purpose. After listening to what Zhou Dingjun said, he had basically guessed what Zhou Dingjun wanted to talk to him about.
"Boss Nan, we already have sufficient reason to suspect that Lou Xiaoyuan controls a gang that smuggles and resells cultural relics. What our task force lacks is evidence to accuse him, so we hope you can get in touch with him again."
"Team Leader Zhou, I borrowed 90 million from the bank. Many people know about this. The reason why I was able to borrow so much money is that many people know this.
If Lou Xiaoyuan is really the antiquities dealer you mentioned, I think he would be very cautious and would definitely investigate me. Given my current situation, if I were to sell antiques to him, I think he would definitely find something wrong. "
"I'm not asking you to sell, I'm asking you to pretend to be the buyer." Luo Qianqian said with a hint of provocation.
Luo Qianqian's provocation shows that the task force knew about his purchase of antiques. It is not surprising that they knew this. It would be strange if the public security organs could not find out about this.
Nan Yi's operation by letting the agent come forward can only be concealed from ordinary people. If someone really wants to investigate, there is no way to hide.
Let them investigate, Nan Yi is not afraid of it, all his operations in the mainland are open to the public, he is hiding it just because he does not want to expose the fact that he is a "rich man".
"Let me pretend to be a buyer?"
