On the other side of the door is the courtyard

Chapter 6 Credit for selling the furniture and giving it to dad

Back home in 2023.First I took out my iPad and wrote down the to-do items for this return.

1. Investigate the data on special activities in Sijiucheng from 52 to 55.When I get back, I'll stab my dad in the right way.Don’t worry about those who are lurking for the time being, and deal with those who are ready to come out and cause damage in the near future first.

2. Get Jia Dongxu’s transaction photos on the iPad.It has to be restored to black and white film.

3. Contact the mahogany furniture manufacturer.Sell ​​the huanghuali furniture in your own space.

4. Purchase some supplies.After returning to the courtyard, he gave it to his eldest uncle, second uncle and some people who had helped him as a Mid-Autumn Festival gift.

The above are the most important ones, and some scattered little things are also recorded.

After placing a bunch of orders online, I checked the recycling price of old-fashioned Huanghuali furniture.Then he left his contact information with several furniture manufacturers and attached photos of the actual furniture on hand, saying that he had Huanghuali furniture left by his elders and wanted to sell it.

Then there is the waiting.

The next day, several furniture manufacturers called me and said they would come for interviews.For convenience, Yang Yi made an appointment with these families to meet at the same time.

After a few days, representatives from furniture factories came, five in total.Two are from the Magic City, and the other three are from surrounding cities.

"Not much to say. We are all experts, so let's check the quality of these furniture first." Yang Yi said.

After 10 minutes of inspection, the furniture factory representatives said it was an authentic old product.The quality is no problem.

"Then let's all make secret bids. Bring the furniture one by one."

In this way, those manufacturers also know that there is no possibility of large-scale price reduction.After all, Yang Yi was watching from the side, and there was no possibility of secret communication.

Half an hour later, eight pieces of furniture, large and small, were distributed.Yang Yi played a careful trick and did not completely follow the principle of the highest bidder getting it.Because everyone actually filled in the same amount, so each of the five manufacturers got something.

Yang Yi also received his first income from cross-time and space trade: 103w.

Less than 5 minutes after sending the manufacturer away, a call came in.

"Mr. Yang, I'm from the ** Furniture Factory in Modu. I just came here to make a secret bid. There are some things I want to talk to you about. Is it convenient for you now?"

"Well, I have work in an hour. It'll be fine if you can come right away."

"Okay, I'll get on the car downstairs. Come up now."

A few minutes later, the factory director named Zhang came up.

"Mr. Yang, you will be busy later. I will get straight to the point. Don't be offended!"

"You say."

"It seems like you have a complete set of furniture. There should be a few pieces you haven't taken out yet."

Yang Yi thought about it and realized that the eight items he picked at the trust store that day seemed to be from a set.It was just that the financial resources around me were limited at that time, so I only took these eight pieces.

"Well, it's a set. It's just an inheritance from my grandfather. There are also a few pieces distributed to several other relatives."

"That's ok. I won't ask for your relatives' contact information. I just ask you to help me contact them and ask them if they are willing to sell. If we can close the deal, I will give you a 5-point advantage."

He is a talented person who knows how to do business.What Director Zhang can think of, others may not think of when they return.But when he thought of it, he immediately took action, and he knew how to win over people to make money.

"Okay, let me ask for you. But it will take a while!"

Didn't say it to death.After all, I don’t have enough cash in the courtyard house, so it’s possible that the items in the trust store will be bought first.

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you. Also, Mr. Yang. Having these pieces of furniture shows that your ancestors also came from a scholarly family. If you have antique vases or other ornaments at home, I can also help you contact buyers here. You also You know, people who like vintage furniture are also interested in these old gadgets.”

See, that's how business is done.

"There are indeed some. But as far as I know, none of the old items at home are from official kilns. They should all be from private kilns in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. But the appearance looks pretty good to a layman like me."

Of course there is no official kiln.After all, every piece from the official kiln has its provenance, and many are unique.If you accidentally get into trouble with someone, things will get serious.In modern times, there is no shortage of money, so there is no need to walk a tightrope.

"That's right! The best products from the official kilns were either destroyed or taken away by those with energy in those ten years. How could it be our ordinary people's turn to have these?"

"Well, that's the truth. I'll go home and take a look at the business, and I'll help you ask your relatives if they want to buy it. If nothing else happens, I'll go to work and I'll contact you when I have any news. Add me on WeChat, Director Zhang ." After leaving WeChat messages with each other, sending Director Zhang away, Yang Yi went back to work.

A few days later, the purchased materials were in place, and Yang Yi returned to the 1952 time and space of Siheyuan.

School starts in three days.There are a few things that need to be done before school starts.

First, I went to the Children's Publishing House to find Editor Zhao.I asked about the progress of the operation of "Xiao Bing Zhang Ga".Then I was told that the review had been completed and that a series of publishing matters would be decided at an internal meeting of the publishing house tomorrow.

Then Editor Zhao quietly told Yang Yi that the manuscript fee was basically set at 3000 yuan after tax.The publisher will pay the taxes.

Editor Zhao meant that Yang Yi should accept the price and publish it as soon as possible.If there is a second novel in the future, the manuscript fee will have a reason to increase.If you spend too much time arguing with the publishing house about manuscript fees, even if you can get an extra hundred or two hundred in the end, it will make the head of the publishing house angry.It will give people a feeling of arrogance and confusion.

Although Yang Yi knew that the novel "Xiao Bing Zhang Ga" in the original time and space was finally published with 150 million copies.At first glance, the 3000 royalty seems a bit low, but it’s understandable.After all, I am still a 14-year-old newcomer.And I am in urgent need of cash now, so I have no objection.

"Okay, Aunt Zhao, this is the number. I can't make it difficult for you, and this number is not low. Thank you, Aunt Zhao."

"Okay. The day after tomorrow, Xiaoyi, come over and sign the contract."

"Okay. Then I'll leave. See you Aunt Zhao."

After leaving the children's publishing house, Yang Yi was about to do another big thing.

In the information found in 2023.There will be a big case before the National Day this year.The latent agent actually planned to sabotage the National Day ceremony.Then, at the end of September, they were rounded up by the security department.

The information contains Dite’s name, photo and hiding address.This is convenient, and I can properly give credit to my dad.

Pretending to be shopping, I arrived near the hidden address mentioned in the information. It was a two-entry courtyard with a lock on the door.It means that there is only one family here, or it is empty and closed without anyone living there.Then after waiting for a while, a man in overalls entered the courtyard.Yeah, just like in the photo.

Once you know the results, it's easy to deduce the reasons.Those who have their own courtyard houses are either cadres who have moved into the city or those who have rich ancestors.It cannot be said that it is completely unheard of for a worker to live in a two-bedroom apartment, but it is also rare.Plus, this guy has a bulging bag.Most people may not think about what is there and what is not, but as Yang Yi, who knows the result, it is obvious what is in the bag.What else could it be but a gun?

It’s confirmed and the reason is there, you rats, just prepare to bear the blow of the iron fist!
Quickly come to dad's unit.The guard knew Yang Yi and called directly and said, "Deputy Director Yang, your son is here." After getting his father's approval, Yang Yi went up to see his father.

It seems that my father has been really busy recently, his face is haggard, he seems to have not had a good rest, and he has a strong smell of cigarette smoke.It probably didn’t take long for a group of old smokers to finish their meeting.

"Xiao Yi, why are you here?"

"Report to the chief. Investigator Yang Yi has made important discoveries and reported to the chief."

Seeing that her father was exhausted, Yang Yi chose a low-end version of "Entertainment in Colorful Clothes".

Then, Yang Yi reported to his father the abnormality he had just discovered while shopping.

Dad pondered for a moment, and suddenly a big dick hit him.It's just that when the palm of the hand almost reached Yang Yi's head, most of the force was reduced, and it was not much stronger than the force of a touch.

"It's very dangerous, do you know?" Dad said with red eyes.

Yang Yi broke his guard.Tears flowed out involuntarily.The dignified middle-aged man in front of him acted like an ordinary father caring for his son.

"Dad, I was wrong. If I encounter this kind of situation again in the future, I promise not to follow you."

"You have to remember, Xiaoyi. As long as dad is here, it's not your turn to take responsibility for dangerous things."

Regardless of the smell of cigarette smoke on his father's body, Yang Yi hugged him directly and said, "The duck catches the baby but the duck stays behind (I love you in Russian)."

Another gentle note of care from the old father, "It's even pretentious. From now on, tell this to the girl you like. Come on, tell me the details of what you discovered in detail."

Ten minutes later, Dad left the office and told Yang Yi to stay in his office and not go anywhere.If you are bored, you can read books and newspapers.

After another hour or so, Dad returned to the office.

"Haven't you gone to arrest him yet? Dad"

Dad hesitated for a moment and said:

"It is related to the internal secrets of the system. I can only tell you that we have already started taking action. You should also keep your mouth shut. You can't even tell your mother. Can you do it?"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
