Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Chapter 918 Who is still in the mood to attend the auction?

Zeng Wangcai is still in Jiangdao, so there is still time before the auction.

What he said to Kazuo Kameda before about hiring an expert was actually a lie to Kazuo Kameda. He didn't actually hire anyone.

But after answering the phone, he felt it was very necessary to hire someone.

So now there are two impatient old men in front of Zeng Wangcai.

There are two old men, one is Zhou Yuanbai.

Zeng Wangcai's calligraphy teacher, Zhou Yuanbai, is old and has been working alone in the laboratory.

But when he heard about the discovery of "Sangluan Tie", Zhou Yuanbai, this calligraphy fanatic, couldn't help himself.

The other old man’s surname was Cao, and his name was Cao Yan.

Lao Cao is the expert Zeng Wangcai wants, but Lao Cao's identity is a bit special. His ancestors were court officials, and his father's generation still passed on their experience to Lao Cao, and also taught Lao Cao to read and write, in the hope of taking the imperial examination route.

Unfortunately, although Lao Cao was good at writing, he became a master of calligraphy, but he was not good at studying, so he worked as a court official.

Later, the old society was gone and Lao Cao went to Liulichang.

Later, Lao Cao was recruited because of his real abilities and joined the archaeological team, traveling all over the country.

Zeng Wangcai has been here for such a long time, but he has never seen Lao Cao, only his original body has seen him.

These two old men are the experts invited by Zeng Wangcai. It is not convenient for him to inform Liu Yong because he must go back to Wangye Island. Liu Yong and the other two refused to go, so he could only do it secretly.

"Speak up, are you serious?" Zhou Yuanbai ignored the tea Zeng Wangcai prepared for him and caught Zeng Wangcai to ask questions. "We two old bones almost fell apart after taking a plane. If you are trying to trick us, we won't agree."

"Don't be impatient, teacher!" Zeng Wangcai pushed the teacup in front of him and said, "You two can have some tea first and rest for two days. No matter whether it is real or fake, there will always be auctions. I will buy two old items at that time and let you enjoy it."

"Bah!" Lao Cao was even more anxious than Zhou Yuanbai. His eyes were red as he said, "Are you stupid? Who would want to attend some bullshit auction? I've seen the list you gave me. All the items on it combined are not as good as one word on the "Sangluan Tie", the authentic work of the calligrapher. You also studied calligraphy, don't you understand what this means?

"Even if you don't understand calligraphy, this is something our ancestors gave us. How can we let the Japanese take it..."

The saliva almost sprayed on Zeng Wangcai's face.

"It shouldn't be fake..." Zeng Wangcai had no choice but to tell the story of Kameda Kazuo in detail. At the end, he concluded, "I thought the Japanese wouldn't give me the real thing, so when I was on the phone, I told him a few words, hoping that he could bring the original. So, I invite you two to come here to check it out. If there is something real, you two will be able to tell it, right?"

"Don't worry about that!" Lao Cao said proudly, "I have studied the authentic works of the Saint of Calligraphy and have seen quite a few. The 'Sangluan Tie' is more than a thousand years old and is not easy to forge. Now your question is, if it is authentic, how did it survive?"

"Is this difficult?" Zeng Wangcai sneered, "If the treasure is real and it's in my hands, I don't need a reason at all, I can just keep it."

"Rob?"

"What do you mean by robbing? That's called taking. The Japanese felt guilty and sent it back."

"Haha, what you said... I like it."

Lao Cao and Zhou Yuanbai are old friends and have known each other for many years, but they have very different personalities.

Zhou Yuanbai might think that robbing is inappropriate, but Lao Cao would not think so.

"Wangcai, I'm very confused!" Zhou Yuanbai stared at Zeng Wangcai and said, "You must be hiding something from us. The Japanese must know how precious a treasure like the "Sangluan Tie" is. Why would they be willing to give it to you for inspection?"

"Well... don't be surprised when I tell you this, and don't call Sijiu City." Zeng Wangcai explained a little embarrassedly, "Actually... the Japanese are going to do something big. I was previously informed that the Japanese suffered a loss in the Pacific and are preparing to take revenge. I guess they are going to send people to attack Wangye Island directly..."

"Are they crazy?" Zhou Yuanbai was indeed shocked. "How dare they start a war? They still think it's decades ago now?"

"They have always dared to do so!" Zeng Wangcai said, "This is actually very easy to understand. Wangye Island is an isolated island with no one affiliation. When a fight breaks out, at most the higher authorities will speak for Wangye Island, but it's useless. They are not afraid because they have the support of the United States.

"The American fleet will certainly be stationed outside Wangye Island by then, so that the Japanese can do their work without worry. When the Japanese heard that I was back, they would definitely want to deal with me as well... So I proposed to show them the "Sangluan Tie", and the Japanese agreed within a day of returning home."

Neither Zhou Yuanbai nor Lao Cao had expected that "SangluanTie" would reproduce such twists and turns.

"No!" Zhou Yuanbai shook his head after listening, "This matter is too big. We can't let you take risks just for the "Sangluan Tie". You don't have to go. Lao Cao and I will go."

"Teacher, you are confused!" Zeng Wangcai laughed, "The Japanese are coming for me. If I don't go, how can the "Sangluan Tie" appear? But don't worry, it's okay. Our troops have been hiding on the island for a long time, just waiting for the Japanese to attack."

"Are you prepared?" Lao Cao smiled. "I didn't expect that I could still catch up with this excitement even at my old age."

Zhou Yuanbai felt relieved and continued to ask, "Besides the troops on the island, are there any other preparations? You just said that the US fleet is coming, and it's not something that can be easily dealt with."

"You're just trying to stop me. I'm keeping an eye on the American fleet."

"You are already on the island, how can you keep an eye on it?"

This is difficult to explain.

Neither Zhou Yuanbai nor Lao Cao knew much about Zeng Wangcai's fleet.

Zeng Wangcai gave a simple explanation and said that he had a way to get away with it.

To be honest, he wasn't worried about safety at all.

Even if Wangye Island was surrounded, Zeng Wangcai had ten thousand ways to leave.

The only thing he is worried about now is whether the two aircraft carrier formations in the space are shocking enough and whether they can scare the Americans.

If he fails to scare them and an accidental shooting really occurs, Zeng Wangcai will have no choice but to withdraw the aircraft carrier formation and use the available fleet to fight guerrilla warfare against the American ships.

In that case, Wangye Island may not be safe.

"Since you have made your plans, we won't try to persuade you." Zhou Yuanbai finally said, "If it really comes to the worst, we two old men will die with you."

die a martyr......

I don't want to die.

Zeng Wangcai complained in his heart, but it can be seen from this that the old man was not optimistic about this matter.

Forget it, there is no point in explaining. No words are as convincing as facts.

In the next two days, Zeng Wangcai spent two days playing with the two elders. The so-called playing meant writing and relived the time when they practiced calligraphy in the past.

The day before the auction, Kazuo Kameda returned.

After Kameda Kazuo landed, the first thing he did was to call Zeng Wangcai and ask Zeng Wangcai to go to Wangye Island after the auction.
