Riding the wind of rebirth

"I have photos." Jesse Cheng waved his hand, and a boy appeared out of nowhere and handed a stack of photos to Zhou Zhi.

The more Zhou Zhi looked at them, the more frightened he became. These four houses were all classics in the Huizhou style. Whether they were made of masonry or wood, they were all exquisite.

In order to enhance the selling point, the photographer took close-ups of the exquisitely carved pillars, hanging flower stigmas, foundation stones, and the lion at the door.

Although these buildings may not have been classified as immovable cultural relics now, Zhou Zhi uses the standards of future generations to measure them. Within ten years, they will definitely not fall below the second-level protection standard.

"Brother Jesse, who gave you this idea? How do these things get out of the country?"

"Isn't this the magic of ancient Chinese buildings?" Jesse Cheng danced excitedly: "They are just like Lego. They are all made of mortise and tenon structures. They can be disassembled into parts and transported to the port in containers. island."

"I'm not talking about the transportation method." Zhou Zhi waved his hand impatiently: "I mean, are you sure that shipping these things abroad will not violate the relevant laws and regulations of our country?"

"Ah?" Jesse was a little confused: "The buyer told me that he could guarantee the exit, and that it had been approved by the local government."

"Really?" Zhou Zhi felt a little serious: "Where is this in Huizhou?"

"It seems to be a place called Tunxi."

"Don't worry, wait for me to call and ask." Zhou Zhi stood up and walked inside: "When will Mr. Li come?"

"I don't know yet, he's a busy man." Jesse Cheng said. His thoughtful attitude made him a little glad that he hadn't taken action yet: "Who did you call?"

Of course Zhou Zhi called Mr. Wang and asked about the situation of this Huizhou style building called Tunxi.

After a while, Zhou Zhi came out scratching his scalp, with a strange look on his face.

Jesse Cheng asked: "Who did you call?"

"I called Mr. Wang. He is a consultant to the Forbidden City and the National Museum, and a member of the National Association for the Protection of Cultural Relics."

"What did he say, can those buildings be bought and sold?"

"Uh...he said that except for Dai Zhen's former residence, which is an immovable cultural relic and is not allowed to be bought and sold, the other ancient buildings in Tunxi have not been graded. If the owner of the house is willing to sell, the state really has nothing to do with it."

Jesse Cheng breathed a sigh of relief: "You brat, you scared me! Fill out the check!"

Zhou Zhi reluctantly took out his check book, which was issued by the Bank of China in Hong Kong. Now Zhou Zhi's overseas assets are rolling in as the bull market of technology stocks begins. There is no need to use shares. He only uses his own stock to provide lease guarantees for some financial institutions and do some You can already make a lot of money by leveraging derivatives trading.

And this is just the beginning. The next bull market will continue until the first burst of the Internet bubble.

And now it is just the beginning of the rise of information technology stocks, and there is still a year or two left before the rapid surge of Nasdaq Internet stocks.

"Zhou Sheng, who is the Dai Zhen you just talked about?" Jesse Cheng asked while watching Zhou Zhi sign the check with interest.

"Dai Zhen, a strange man in the Qianlong Dynasty. He never passed the imperial examination in his whole life, but he became a compiler in the Hanlin Academy with his knowledge. He was a mathematician, a water conservancy expert, a Neo-Confucianist, a philologist, and a scholar of classics. Home."

"The person who inherited his canonical studies was Ren Dachun; the person who inherited his arithmetic was Kong Guangsen; the people who inherited his elementary school were Wang Niansun and Duan Yucai. The last two people's exegetical studies opened the door for me to study this major."

"There are founders in all walks of life. For example, in an ancient building like yours, workers have to worship Luban; for example, chefs worship Yiyin; in my profession, almost everyone has to worship him." "Then if you should worship, just follow us. It’s like worshiping Official Hong Xi!”

"Hey, shouldn't you worship Guan Zhong?"

"Guan Zhong? Why?"

"Forget it, it's not important." Zhou Zhi warned again: "You'd better find out more clearly. These buildings should be built after the third generation of the Qing Dynasty. Otherwise, it will be troublesome to trace them back in the future, and you will not get the support of public opinion."

"As for now..." Zhou Zhi handed the check to Jesse Cheng, and then said helplessly: "I can only thank you for your contribution to preserving ancient Chinese architecture."

Although Zhou Zhi didn't have any mental mysophobia, he was still filled with a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Even if he is a time traveler, even if he understands and understands the importance of these buildings, he still has no ability to change the status quo of this life.

People are social beings, and society is a huge system. If Zhou Zhi wants to change the current situation of the loss of ancient buildings, he must reverse the concepts and practices of this huge system from top to bottom.

Even if it gains influence in the future, the most it can do is appeal and make proposals, or strengthen publicity and gather a large number of insightful people to slowly reverse this trend.

At this stage, he doesn't think he has that much energy. If he intervenes forcefully, he will only offend a series of people from top to bottom, and the effect will definitely be counterproductive.

Being able to advocate the establishment of the Sichuan University Museum and the Three Gorges Cultural Preservation Fund, and first do a good job in the one-third of an acre of land that he has influence on, is the limit of what he can do at present.

As long as it is not illegal or prohibited, the village cadres of Daijia Village in Renjia Tunxi want to lead the people out of poverty and become rich, modernize the ancient village, and make "the old look new with a new look" as the highlight of their political achievements. You jump out and say no, If you want to keep it, who does the village cadre know about you Zhou Zhi? !

At most, they will only tell you in a negotiating tone: "It will be the same if I don't sell it to Mr. Zhou, but the price will still be the same, no less!"

This is called the cruel reality.

Jesse Cheng was very fond of Zhou Zhi. Although it was said that it was five million, but the profit was changed from RMB to Hong Kong dollars, Zhou Zhi took the initiative to give him the 20% profit, which made him feel that Zhou Zhi was a friend he could make: "My ten Don’t you want to see the yard?”

"It's not bad on this day. Can we save the agency fee by doing this?" Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "But how to transfer the ownership, I will have to ask Mr. Ma and the others."

It's a pity that Mr. Ma and the others are not here today. Everyone here is a member of the crew. Zhou Zhi only knows Jiacheng and Lu Siyi, but not much else.

Jesse introduced it to him, and he said yes, but he didn't remember it at all afterwards.

Seeing that Zhou Zhi was a little bored, Jesse Cheng and Lu Siyi took him to see the set of the film set.

In Zhou Zhi's story, the male protagonist Jack is a "scholar-type cultural relics thief". On the surface, he is the heir to a billionaire collector and a professor at the University of Hong Kong. But underneath, he is actually a gangster who specializes in stealing. Good things are piled up in a courtyard in the capital.

The structural layout and furnishings of Demeitang are very suitable for the identity of this character.

"I heard that your house in Shudu is also good?" Jesse Cheng introduced the changes made here for the filming while asking Zhou Zhi: "Aismin, played by Siyi, is the chief auctioneer of the Hong Kong Island Auction House... "

"I know, Li Laoer shamelessly asked for a character based on Sister Wanqiu's background." Zhou Zhi waved his hand impatiently: "Then you have to have a love brain, the kind that makes you fall in love at first sight when you see Jack and can't walk away. , this is the biggest illogicality of this film, pure YY!”

Lu Siyi pursed her lips and smiled: "In reality, it's actually the other way around. Second Young Master Li has been pursuing Sister Wanqiu for many years. Who in Hong Kong doesn't know that?" (End of Chapter)
