Lai Wen's so-called rough work was actually to rob some good goods.
This was a distribution point of Xianghu. Every first and fifteenth day of the year, an organization called "Country Bumpkin" would arrange for people to come here to sell their stolen goods.
Although the name "Country Bumpkin" was a bit low, this organization was not low at all. No one knew how long this organization had been established.
However, some of the things they had done were very famous in Lai Wen's circle. Even Lai Wen, who used to be a grave robber, admired them very much. This group of people was really capable.
At the beginning of the excavation of the highest level tomb in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the highest standard tomb 88, which was the work of the "Country Bumpkin". The inspectors actually saw mineral water bottles in the tomb, but there were very few unearthed cultural relics.
This tomb was previously identified as the tomb of a king of a vassal state. Later, it was suspected to be the tomb of the Duke of Zhou. However, in the end, because the unearthed artifacts were not conclusively identified, the identity of the tomb owner was still unknown.
From this matter, it could be seen that the "Country Bumpkin" was too ruthless. Such a big tomb, but there was nothing valuable left.
There was also an ancient tomb with 18 blocks, which was also destroyed by the "Country Bumpkin".
The soil of the tomb was sandy, and there were repeated dangers of collapsing. However, even under the danger of collapse, the "Country Bumpkin" still arranged for people to enter the southern chamber. There were many tombs in Chu, but nine out of ten tombs were empty. Most of them were stolen by the "Country Bumpkin" organization.
Fortunately, this collapsed tomb did not give the "Country Bumpkin" a chance to steal everything, so they still unearthed some exquisite bronze artifacts. The tomb owner was also considered a high-ranking official of Chu by archaeologists.
One could imagine how many good things the "Country Bumpkin" had obtained.
The "Country Bumpkin" organization became famous a long time ago. That was also their biggest failure. Later, they were ridiculed by many people. It was because of this ridicule that the "Country Bumpkin" organization was ruthless to ancient tombs, emptying every tomb they saw.
In the Lion Mountain tomb, the "Country Bumpkin" people had a guilty conscience and were in a hurry. They actually missed a few sealed side chambers on both sides of the Lion Mountain tomb tunnel. This omission allowed a large number of cultural relics and treasures to escape disaster.
Later, after being discovered by the archaeology organization, the "Country Bumpkin" became a joke in the tomb robbing world.
The gold-thread jade garment found in the tomb was considered to be the most exquisite jade garment found by Hua Xia. There were close to five thousand pieces of jade, all of which were of the highest quality. It was a pity that the golden threads on the golden-thread jade clothes had been taken away by the "country bumpkins".
As for why the 'country bumpkin' only removed the golden thread, no one knew.
He was afraid that they had encountered some vicious trap or a huge dumpling. Otherwise, why would they not take away the things they had already obtained?
Lai Wen was very familiar with the "country bumpkin" people. When he arrived, he immediately went up to greet them. "Everyone has worked hard. You must have found something good again, right?"
"Hahaha, Boss Lai must be joking. If we don't bring out something of the highest quality, I'm afraid you won't even take a fancy to it." The other party was a dark-skinned and skinny guy with a pair of triangular eyes and a hooked nose. He looked very "ugly" and was definitely a very violent guy.
"Then you think too highly of me," Lai Wen said cheerfully.
On the opposite side of the dark-skinned and skinny guy with triangular eyes, a man with a big belly and greasy hair walked towards Lai Wen casually.
This man with sleek hair had tight facial features and thick arms. He had inherited a valuable agarwood fragrance around his neck. His wrist was wrapped with red sandalwood prayer beads, and he wore several rings on his fingers. Some were made of jade, some were made of gold, and some were made of diamonds.
"Boss Lai's finger is also priceless." The greasy hair man smiled. Although he spoke with a smile, his eyes were looking at Lai Wen's hand with evil intentions.
The blood jade board in Lai Wen's hand was obviously more valuable than all the rings on his hand.
"Fatty Dai, I didn't expect you to come too." Lai Wen was obviously disgusted with this greasy hair man. "I shouldn't have come if I knew this."
"Aiyaya, if Boss Lai said this, then I shouldn't have come." Fatty Dai waved his hand. "If you really can't do it, I'll leave now."
Lai Wen certainly wouldn't believe Fatty Dai's nonsense. "Okay, if you are so sincere, I won't stop you."
"Hahahaha!" Fatty Dai suddenly laughed a few times. "Boss Lai still likes to joke. I come here for thousands of miles. If Boss Lai really thinks it's bad luck, then you can only move yourself."
"It's not bad luck." Lai Wen shook his head. "I'm just a little unhappy."
Fatty Dai didn't mind being said by Lai Wen. "I'm also unhappy. Can't one of us take a step back?"
"If you want to take a step back, I welcome it." Lai Wen stopped paying attention to this greasy hair man after he finished speaking.
Fatty Dai was still shouting. "How about this, Boss Lai, in the future, you come on the first day and I will come on the fifteenth day. This way, we don't have to see each other!"
"Country bumpkins" came to sell stolen goods. The first day was all low-end goods, and the fifteenth day was all high-end and valuable goods.
If they didn't have a lot of free time, powerful big bosses like Lai Wen and Fatty Dai wouldn't come here to look for treasures.
Although Fatty Dai was still shouting, Lai Wen didn't pay attention to him. This fatty just had a bad mouth.
Every time there was good stuff, Fatty Dai would fight for it.
In this circle, there were rules in this circle. Raising the price wasn't a malicious competition.
The problem was that Fatty Dai was annoyed the most. He knew that Lai Wen had a good eye for things. The things he liked would not be bad, but he liked to compete with Lai Wen.
Lai Wen was disgusted in his heart, but he couldn't say anything. There were many things that couldn't be helped.
Every time Fatty Dai and Lai Wen competed, Lai Wen would be speechless.
Sometimes, when the two of them worked together, they could even double the price of an item! Although this wasn't an auction, the competition here wasn't any more intense than an auction.
"Everyone's wallet is full, right? Hahaha, the big money Boss Lai is here. I'm afraid we can't buy things so cheaply. " Fatty Dai began to talk nonsense again. He liked to raise the price, but now he was splashing dirty water on Lai Wen.
Most people who knew the rules wouldn't patronize the things that others liked when they offered a good price. It was impolite.
But Fatty Dai didn't care. His strength was equal to Lai Wen's. They were both people who didn't lack money.
Moreover, Fatty Dai was not from Xiang Hu. He didn't worry about any conflict of interest with Lai Wen in Xiang Hu. So he didn't give Lai Wen "face" every time.
Xu Yun looked around. There were several people who came here to look for treasures. It could be seen that they were all big families.
Ordinary people were not qualified to come here. After all, it was just unearthed. If they weren't old bones in the industry, they really didn't dare to make a judgment.
The value of antiques was not restricted at all. Who could tell how much they were worth?
Who had the final say on what basis to give "it" this value?
So this thing was really not something that ordinary people could play with. If you wanted to become rich overnight by antiques, it was better to buy lottery tickets and play two-colored balls. Maybe the probability of getting that thing was higher.
In the antique market, eight or nine out of ten people were cheated.
How many self-righteous people had collected things that they thought were valuable, but in fact were worthless? This situation was too common.
If you didn't have the diamond, don't provoke this kind of porcelain work. Because of carelessness, families were broken and people died. In the mainland of Hua Xia, this happened all the time.
Once people entered this circle, there were very few who could become rich and powerful.
There were a lot of people whose families were broken and people died.
