"Okay, just do what Brother Man said..."

After eating breakfast, Fang Yi and Man Jun decided on this matter. There was no need to ask Sanpao for advice. It can be seen from Sanpao's gratitude on Sanpao's face that he was still very happy about Fang Yi's work.

After breakfast, Fang Yi went to Mr. Sun's place. Now he had to buy two copies of breakfast. Because Mr. Yu also lives there, the two old men were playing chess in the community during the day, and then discussing the knowledge about antiques. He was very happy.

Since Zhao Hongtao and his friends were going to have a meeting in the morning, Fang Yi stayed at the teacher until after ten o'clock, and called Man Jun and made an appointment to meet at the entrance of the museum. Old Sun and Old Yu were both idle and went with him.

The signing ceremony was very formal, with people recording the entire process, and also presented the appraisal certificates issued by Yu Xuan and Sun Lianda. With the appraisal certificates issued by these two major members of the circle, this "Yongle Encyclopedia" was a foregone conclusion and became the first Yongle version of the "Yongle Encyclopedia" that appeared in China since Emperor Jiajing.

In addition to some domestic media, there were many experts from the Ming history and cultural relics industry who came from the capital and from all over the country. They identified the "Yongle Encyclopedia" on the spot. The conclusions they came to were naturally the same as those of Yu Lao Yu and Sun, and gave a high evaluation of the book's publication.

During the whole process, Fang Yi asked Man Jun to come forward. Although he was also on the scene, except for a few people who knew the inside story, many people thought Fang Yi was a museum staff member. The media's attention was even more focused on Mr. Yu and Mr. Sun. No one knew that the real discoverer of this book "Yongle Encyclopedia" was this unknown young man.

However, although it was not revealed that Fang Yi was the real discoverer of this book "Yongle Encyclopedia", as Sun Lianda's disciple, Mr. Sun took him to know many colleagues and predecessors in the cultural relics world.

Although Fang Yi didn't talk much, when everyone discussed some historical issues, the words he said were always on the point, and his affinity was very strong. So after a short signing ceremony, anyone who had contacted him had a good sense of this young man who was knowledgeable about history, and some even left him a phone number and contact information.

After finishing all this, it was almost noon. After so many media and friends in the circle, they naturally had to entertain a meal. So the people present took a bus waiting at the entrance of the museum, and Fang Yi also went to have a meal.

"Lao Man. Come, smoke..."

At around 3:00 p.m., Fang Yi and Man Jun sat in Zhao Hongtao's office. This was because after dinner, Man Jun got a transfer check of 2 million yuan from the museum's finance department. He came over to thank Deputy Director Zhao who caused the matter.

"Take mine, shit mine..."

Man Jun quickly took out a bag of Zhonghua from his pocket and said, "Director Zhao, I really have to thank you for this matter. If you weren't here to help, even if the things were sold, we wouldn't have gotten the money so quickly..."

Man Jun is a businessman, so he naturally knows the reason why money is difficult to get, just like he sold it to an old customer Guyan. At that time, the customer said that the funds on hand were a little tight and he owed the money first, but this owed for a year, and Man Jun was not able to come to collect debts.

"I didn't help much. If you want to say thank you, I have to thank Lao Man and Fang Yi..."

Hearing Man Jun's words, Zhao Hongtao waved his hand with a smile. He took the cigarette handed by Man Jun and said, "This Yongle version of "Yongle Encyclopedia" can be included in our museum, but it is the only one in China. It has greatly improved the depth of the museum's collection and reputation..."

For Zhao Hongtao, the next museum director has almost never left. It is his personal political achievement to be able to earn such a collection of historical relics before taking over as director. Zhao Hongtao is really grateful to Fang Yi and Man Jun.

"Win-win, this is a win-win..."

Man Jun smiled and said, "But Director Zhao still wants to thank you. I recently bought a piece of Huanghuali ornament and asked Director Zhao to correct me. I think it looks pretty good on this desk..."

Man Jun is so smart, so thanks cannot be just verbal, otherwise no one will look for you next time if there is a good thing. He knew that Zhao Hongtao likes to play with wood, so yesterday he went to a fellow employee's house and spent more than 80,000 yuan to buy the ornament.

"Okay, Lao Man, Fang Yi is my junior brother. With this connection, we are not outsiders, so don't do those stupid things..."

Zhao Hongtao is not an academic nerd who can get the position of deputy director. When he hears Man Jun's words, he understands it and knows that Man Jun is giving gifts to him in disguise.

As the saying goes, there will be no fish when the water is clear. Zhao Hongtao is not the kind of inhumane person. If it were another person, he might have the Huanghuali ornament mentioned by Man Jun, but as he said, Fang Yi is his junior brother, and this matter is considered to be a helper of Fang Yi, so this thing cannot be taken away.

"Director Zhao, you're really not polite, just give it to you for fun..."

Man Jun was a little unwilling to give up. He bought all the things, so naturally there was no reason to return them. Moreover, although others said they didn't want them, if they took them seriously, they would probably be ignorant.

Zhao Hongtao knew what Man Jun thought, and immediately said, "Old Man, it's really not a fool with you. You said I would help Fang Yi. If you dare to collect things again, the teacher wouldn't scold me to death..."

Zhao Hongtao is only in his early 40s this year and is a very young department-level cadre. He does not think that his career will stop at the position of the museum director. Speaking of the level of the Beijing Museum, it is at the level of the ministry and commission. Zhao Hongtao still wants to take it one step further.

However, if you want to reach that level, you cannot just have the ability. You also need to have a good reputation and connections in this circle. This is a bit worse than that. In the future, there are many places you still have to rely on teachers.

"This... this, okay, then I won't say anything. In the future, Director Zhao's business will be mine!" Man Jun could see that Zhao Hongtao was not really polite to him, but really didn't want to accept that thing.

"That's right..." Zhao Hongtao nodded with a smile, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Oh, by the way, Lao Man, when it comes to Huanghuali, do you have any friends you are familiar with in Qiongsheng?"

"Qiong Province, yes, I made Huanghuali and agarwood for a while last year. I had to travel to Qiong Province almost every month. Director Zhao, if you have any questions, just tell me, I'll ask my friends over there to help..."

Although Manjun’s antique shop mainly sells antiques, he will make money by making money. Last year, the price of agarwood rose a lot, so he went to Qiong Province several times and earned back all his expenses in a few months.

"I will go there for a business trip in a few days to hold an academic seminar. I want to find a local and take me to the mountain to see the logs of Huanghuali..."

Zhao Hongtao can also be said to be an expert in the category of miscellaneous items. His interest has shifted from finished products to raw materials, and he is also very economical. He knows that Huanghuali has been priced at one year in recent years, so he wants to stockpile some better materials.

"On a business trip? Director Zhao, when you go on a business trip, the locals over there should be very familiar with this area?" After hearing Zhao Hongtao's words, Man Jun was a little puzzled. With the national conditions in the country, if the official came forward, things should be easier to handle.

"Old Man, it's not what you said..."

Zhao Hongtao shook his head when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "Although Huanghuali and agarwood are famous in Qiong Province, the official organizations are all engaged in research and do not know much about the actual things, so they can't do anything to them..."

Zhao Hongtao's words were not aimless. He naturally knew that the price of agarwood rose sharply last year, so he contacted the Qiong Province Agarwood Association through friends in the system and wanted to order a batch of agarwood from them.

But after contacting him, Zhao Hongtao discovered that the association was not professional at all. Some people couldn't even distinguish between agarwood and agarwood. What Zhao Hongtao wanted was agarwood spice that had oil, but the man helped him find agarwood tree commonly known as the white wood fragrance tree, which was simply two things that went in the opposite direction.
