Chapter 180 The most important weapon of the country
After tying up the broken chair wood, Gao Dongxu said hello to Stationmaster Zeng and continued to look for the fish farming equipment he needed.

To be honest, it is really not easy to find some good stuff in today's scrap collection stations. It requires a long time and patience to dig.

Because the junk that scrap collection stations collect now is so diverse, and the types of recycled items are shockingly detailed... Chicken and duck feathers, used batteries, toothpaste tubes, meat bones, orange peels, broken glass, torn cotton wool, cloth scraps, eye drop bottles, various bottles, all kinds of broken shoes, long and short braids, crumpled and stained garbage paper, light bulbs and fluorescent tubes, and various books and newspapers, and scrap metal are considered VIP items.

In short, there is only you who disdains to throw away the petty gains, and no one will be "reborn with no way out".

This is why later on, there appeared in the capital a group of ragpickers called "raiders", and their number even reached 300,000. In the 1980s, these ragpickers could earn 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a year, and a ragpicking company could earn 30,000 to 40,000 yuan a month.

By the end of the 1990s, in Beijing alone, the rabbers could earn 3 billion yuan every year by rabbling garbage dumps!
Gao Dongxu, who was looking for a container for holding water and raising fish, finally found a container that met his requirements after some patient searching.

However, at this moment, Gao Dongxu looked at the vessel with his eyes wide open, his face flushed, his hands trembling all over as he grasped the edge of the vessel tightly, and his lips trembling with excitement.

He really had never thought that he would be able to find such a national treasure in the garbage dump. It was like a dream.

Gui!

A broken bronze gui!
A broken bronze gui with an inscription!

Gao Dongxu was going crazy and felt that it was difficult to breathe. His hands were trembling as he tightly grasped the bronze gui which was as cold as ten thousand years of ice. Unfortunately, perhaps because it was severely damaged, the spiritual energy was seriously dissipated. Although he could feel the spiritual energy, it was not as integrated and rich as he had imagined.

A gui (gui) is an ancient bronze or pottery food container with a round mouth and two or four handles. Originally used by the nobility during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, it later evolved into an important bronze ritual vessel.

Royal nobles would cast ritual vessels like tripods and gui vessels to commemorate major celebrations. The Celestial Empire had a long history of meticulous etiquette. During large-scale sacrifices and banquets, the emperor would slaughter pigs and cattle, using nine tripods and eight gui vessels to serve as main dishes and staple foods to ancestors, spirits, and gods. It can be said that bronze gui vessels, from their very creation, possessed a noble heritage.

The bronze gui in front of Gao Dongxu is about 20 centimeters high and has a diameter of about 20 centimeters. It has a round belly with four semi-circular animal head ears connected to four inward-curled elephant trunk-shaped feet. The whole body is decorated with exquisite animal face patterns.

No need to look for it anymore, no need to look for it anymore. With this national treasure, it is enough for you to take it back and raise fish!
However, Gao Dongxu didn’t understand that a bronze gui like this, even if it was broken, should not appear in a scrap collection station.

As he thought about it, he frantically began to rummage through the surrounding debris, searching for other fragments of the bronze gui.

Fortunately, the bronze gui was not seriously damaged, with three of its four legs still intact. Although the bottom of the gui was broken and exposed, Gao Dongxu was lucky enough to quickly find the bottom of the gui with an inscription, which was broken into three pieces.

Gao Dongxu took off his gloves and rubbed off the bronze fragments with the inscription, hoping to be able to recognize the inscription.

Unfortunately, his knowledge of written language was too limited and he didn't recognize it at all.

However, it didn't matter anymore. He searched for half an hour and finally found all the fragments and the other elephant-shaped foot that was broken into two pieces.

It was already sunset and the sky was getting dark. Gao Dongxu picked up the broken bronze gui weighing nearly 20 kilograms with one hand, put the fragments into the space, and walked towards Stationmaster Zeng.

"Have you found a suitable one?" Stationmaster Zeng asked with a smile as he looked at Gao Dongxu carrying a broken iron vat-like object with a leaky bottom.

"I found one, but it's leaking. Take it back and find some iron sheets from the factory to weld it together. It will be just right for raising fish." Gao Dongxu put the bronze gui on the ground with a smile, then took out a cigarette, gave one to Stationmaster Zeng, and lit it.

The two men stood there smoking. Stationmaster Zeng smiled and scratched the broken bronze gui with his foot. He said to Gao Dongxu, "This thing is not light. If you are sure you want it, you should weigh it according to the scrap metal price."

"Brother Zeng, this is it. I like the pattern on the outside of it. It's very beautiful and can be used as a decoration at home." Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll sell it to you at 80 cents per pound of scrap iron. That's all I can do." Stationmaster Zeng said.

"I am already very grateful for Brother Zeng's care. I dare not ask for anything else." Gao Dongxu said hurriedly with gratitude.

"Come on, let's have some fun..."

Gao Dongxu picked up the bronze gui and walked aside with Stationmaster Zeng to weigh it.

"16 jin and 4 liang. I'll sell it to you based on 16 jin. 12 cents per jin, which is 8 yuan..." Stationmaster Zeng said to Gao Dongxu after calculating the bill.

Gao Dongxu hurriedly took out the money, found 12 yuan and handed it to Stationmaster Zeng.

Stationmaster Zeng took the money with a smile and said to Gao Dongxu, "Come on, it's getting dark, and it's time for us to get off work. You should go back soon."

"Well, I'll come over to play with you on Saturday and Sunday." Gao Dongxu smiled and picked up the bronze gui, looking at Stationmaster Zeng and said.

"Okay, but, brother, let me advise you, it's not easy for you to make money. Supporting your family is the most important thing. Don't spend all your money on this." Stationmaster Zeng advised kindly.

"I know, thank you, Brother Zeng." Gao Dongxu said gratefully.

After saying goodbye to Stationmaster Zeng, Gao Dongxu rode his bike home. When he reached an empty corner, he got off the bike and put all the rosewood wood on the back seat into the space, then couldn't wait to leave the courtyard world.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back on the Arhat bed on the second floor of Zhenbao Pavilion. Feeling the alcohol rising to his body, he raised the corners of his mouth, closed his eyes, relaxed his mind, and fell asleep while absorbing spiritual energy.

Gao Dongxu slept until about three in the afternoon. After waking up, he yawned and sat up from his bed. He went downstairs to boil some water, dipped his finger in the cold tea in the cup, and wiped his eyes. Ahem...

I almost shouted, 'Tea improves eyesight—Hey!'

Gao Dongxu missed the days when he was dominated by Douyin and Kuaishou. Although this world also had video websites, live broadcast websites, and even Flood Network where virtual currency could be exchanged for real money, there were no short video platforms like Douyin and Kuaishou.

Perhaps, we should spend some money to build a short video platform to enrich the world's entertainment ecology.

However, he also knows that the rise of short video platforms requires the support of essential hardware such as smartphones and mobile networks, as well as various software.

However, looking at the iPhone 4 in his hand, he knew that now was not the right time. Of course, that didn't mean he couldn't make plans in advance.

Thinking of Bodong.com, Gao Dongxu couldn't help but narrow his eyes. While he picked up the boiling water to make tea, he calculated that the rich man Huang in Dongchuan would fall sooner or later, and perhaps he could take advantage of this opportunity...

While drinking tea, he thought that instead of creating a company from scratch, it would be better to grab a successful company and make it stronger and bigger.

Robbery?

That’s not the case, it should be said to take advantage of the opportunity!

After drinking a cup of tea, Gao Dongxu went downstairs and saw Lao Ying playing with his phone. He smiled and said, "I'll go buy two sofa beds now and have them deliver them."

"Okay." Lao Ying stood up, opened the door and sent Gao Dongxu out.

Gao Dongxu drove to a furniture store, selected two simple and comfortable folding sofa beds, paid and left his address, and asked the merchant to deliver the goods immediately.

After making the arrangements, he drove back to the Dijingyuan Villa. In the bathroom, he turned on the faucet, took out the mud-covered Laughing Buddha from the space, began to rinse it, and used tools to clean the mud on the Buddha statue.

It took half an hour to reveal the Buddha statue's original shape. Unfortunately, the red paint on the outside still needed to be cleaned with gasoline.

I went to the garage and got a small bucket of gasoline. I used a cotton cloth dipped in gasoline to start cleaning the red paint on the outside. After more than half an hour, I finally wiped off the stubborn red paint, revealing the original appearance of the Buddha statue.

After rinsing the statue and his hands, Gao Dongxu admired the red copper statue of the Joyful Buddha. Two Bodhisattvas, embracing each other, sat on a lotus pedestal, with two small figures at their feet. The Bodhisattvas' eyes were wide open, their postures fierce and powerful.

Although he could use a plug-in to confirm that the Buddha statue was authentic, with his current knowledge, he was still unable to accurately date the statue.

After pondering for a moment, Gao Dongxu took out his mobile phone, found Huang Kewu's number, and called him directly.

"Hello, Mr. Huang, I'm Gao Dongxu. I recently bought a Buddha statue, but I can't tell what year it's from. I hope you can help me take a look..."

Without any politeness, Gao Dongxu went straight to the point and told Huang Kewu what he wanted.

Since this old fox had broken his promise and tricked him by sending Huang Yanyan to Qishan, he would not be polite to the old fox and ask him to be his free appraiser.

"...By the way, I have a few bronze fragments with inscriptions on them. I'm not very knowledgeable and can't decipher the content of the inscriptions. I hope Mr. Huang can help me take a look."

Hearing the old fox on the other end of the phone agree, Gao Dongxu smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll be there right away. Please wait a moment."

After saying that, Gao Dongxu hung up the phone, found a bag, put the Buddha statue and the bronze fragments with inscriptions in it, and drove to Huang's house.

The Huang family ancestral home is located in Qianmen Liulichang and Hepingmen, close to the Xidan business district. It is a large and ancient mansion facing the street. According to Huang Yanyan, it has five entrances and covers an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters.

Gao Dongxu parked the Ferrari in front of the Huang family's ancestral home, got out of the car and saw a middle-aged man standing in front of Guangliang's gate waiting.

"Are you Mr. Gao?"

Seeing Gao Dongxu get out of the car, the other party hurriedly walked down the stairs and asked with a smile.

"Yeah." Gao Dongxu nodded with a smile while holding his bag.

"The master is waiting for you in the main hall. Please come this way—"

Hearing the other party's address, Gao Dongxu smiled without comment. It was a different era now, and they were still playing the feudal game.

Sure enough, the four veins of the plum blossom are now completely rotten.
