"Uncle Elbow, follow me to see Ultraman!" As soon as he put on his slippers, Tongtong dragged Zhou Zhi to his room.

"You've been pestering uncle all day!" Jianhua's cousin said angrily: "What are you looking at Ultraman for? Please show uncle around our house!"

The decoration of this home is also very "fashionable", with liver-colored granite floor tiles, large crystal chandeliers, brown leather sofas, white European-style TV cabinets, and a wall-mounted TV wall with wallpaper behind the TV cabinets.

In Zhou Zhi's eyes, the decoration of this villa is lackluster. The most advanced thing is the rare boiler design under the stairwell, which can provide daily hot water and even provide floor heating in winter, which is extremely rare.

But the gas bill is not a small sum.

Other settings include a large whirlpool bathtub in the master bedroom, a small bar in the garden, etc., which also highlight the "romance" of the owner.

Tongtong took Zhou Zhi and looked at it briefly before diving into his room.

This is both a study and a bedroom, and is very carefully decorated.

From the 1980s to the 1990s, the country introduced a series of TV series suitable for children from all over the world. The first ones in Japan were Leo, Astro Boy, Ikkyu, and Flower Fairy. Later, local stations had Olympus.

Terman, Saint Seiya series.

However, I don’t understand these considerations at all, especially the later Ultraman and Saint Seiya. These are two relatively large systems. Collecting the entire series has become the dream of every little TV fan.

The small ones are cards and stationery, while the big ones are doll figures like Tongtong.

So Zhou Zhi was forced to take a popularization class on Ultraman. What about Zero and Hikari? He was confused and worried, and his mind was buzzing.

However, from these valuable toys, we can see that Tao Ming loves Tongtong very much.

"I asked you why you haven't come down for a long time." When my cousin came up and saw the plastic dolls on the bed, she frowned and said, "Hurry up and pack them up. Come down and eat some fruit."

"Brother-in-law, your house is really nice." Zhou Zhi came downstairs and saw Tao Ming wearing reading glasses. He had already opened and studied the information he had communicated with foreigners on the phone at noon.

Seeing Zhou Zhi coming down, Tao Ming put down the documents and took off his glasses: "We are not a big deal here. I heard that you have a mansion in Shu and your hometown?"

"The one in Shudu was left by an elder from my mother's side. I happened to meet it and bought it." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "The one in my hometown in the countryside of Baimi Township was built by a great scholar. After the policy was implemented, the family did not want it.

, the local maintenance and management is not proper, it would be a pity if it really rotted, so I took it and repaired it."

"You really care about this. Hey, are you very knowledgeable about antiques? The news said that the young expert who participated in the appraisal of Mr. Li's calligraphy is you, right?"

"There are many categories of antiques. I have studied calligraphy, painting and porcelain with my fourth cousin for many years. These two are slightly better."

"Then come and see something with me."

"What?"

The two of them came to the study. The study was quite big, but Zhou Zhi found the things on display a bit funny. The portrait of Mr. Guan, the house-holding sword made of copper coins tied with red silk thread, and the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall looked like scenery.

I bought it when I was in the district, and the words were stained by fine velvet.

There is also an oil painting on the wall behind the owner, which depicts lilies.

There were quite a few books, but not all of them were kept in brand new sets on the bookshelves, not in the bookcases. You could see the bookshelves through the glass, and they were all full of wine.

Anyway, it was a study that was extremely nondescript and made Zhou Zhi feel extremely uncomfortable as soon as he entered.

"Excuse me, please. This room is indeed a bit unsightly." Successful people must have successes. Xu Ming's thoughtful character can be seen as good, but he doesn't pretend.

Even if he now has tens of millions of assets, he still thinks that he has only succeeded in one aspect, and that he is still average or even below average in other aspects. To be honest, as long as he has this level of awareness, he has already escaped from the word "nouveau riche"

Already.

As for whether he has the subjective initiative to modify this "original temperament", that is another matter, and Zhou Zhi doesn't think it is necessary.

After all, it is a bit inhumane to ask people in their fifties to live so tiringly in life while busy with their careers.

"It's pretty good." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "It's a hundred times better than those people who don't know anything but pretend to be elegant."

Tao Ming paused while opening the cabinet, sighed, opened the cabinet, and took out a brocade box: "There is something here, please help me take a look."

This is the second advantage of Tao Ming. He is over 50 years old, but he is still so polite to everyone he talks to. When getting along with such people, the first thing you can know is three words - not annoying.

Zhou Zhi opened the brocade box and found a large blue and white plate inside.

"Brother-in-law, are you still playing with this?" Zhou Zhi asked.

"Do you think I look like him?" Tao Ming waved his hand: "This is a relationship that needs to be addressed. I found out that the man likes antiques. I didn't want to find someone else to do with him, so I bought this big plate at the cultural relics store."

Zhou Zhi carefully studied the blue and white flowers and the bottom money: "How much did you spend on this plate?"

Tao Ming held out five fingers.

"Five thousand?"

"What? Fifty thousand! I have a receipt."

"Are you sure you bought this plate at the cultural relics store? It's a formal place. It should be an invoice instead of a receipt?"

"I don't quite understand." Tao Ming was a little surprised: "I did enter the cultural relics store at that time, and then someone came and took me to the second floor."

"Wait a minute, room? Is there a lot of furnishings in there?"

"There are not many furnishings inside, but the decoration is still very luxurious." Tao Ming said: "Then a staff member came to receive me. After understanding what I wanted, I gave me this plate."

"I was still trying to haggle over the price, but someone next to me wanted to..." At this point, Tao Ming also understood: "Honey, am I being deceived?"

Zhou Zhi shook his head: "It can't be called a pure lie. The craftsmanship of this plate is quite good, but it is not from the Qianlong Dynasty. It should be a deposit from the Tongzhi period. The value is about seven or eight thousand."

"Then you are still being tricked?"

"I suspect that someone is playing an internal game to deceive buyers like you, brother-in-law." Zhou Zhi sneered: "This kind of trick is not done by insiders, and it must have something to do with insiders... Otherwise, I'll fight

Give me a call and ask?”

"Do you have an acquaintance in the Yuzhou cultural relics store?" Tao Ming pushed the phone to Zhou Zhi.

"I don't know anyone here, but snakes have their own way, and cats have their own way." Zhou Zhi picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Hey Uncle Fei, I'm in Yuzhou, my brother-in-law is here... there are still two or three days.

Well, he may come here the day after tomorrow... Oh, you are too polite, yes, Uncle Fei has such a problem..."

After telling the general story of the matter, Zhou Zhi said again: "I think this matter may have something to do with the Yuzhou Cultural Relics Store. I think that place is also under the jurisdiction of the Shudu Cultural Relics Store, right? Can you help us ask?

, it is definitely unreasonable to use the deposit money from Tongzhi as belongings to others... Hmm... That's not what I mean, there is no need to return these things, that is, I can find something worth it for my brother-in-law and make up the difference.

That’s it, eh, eh, okay, thank you, Uncle Fei!”
