Chapter 179 Liu Zhiye has a yard on Di'anmen Inner Street
Hao Shun whispered: "We understand that most of the ships in the fleet are actually public property from several nearby production teams. Everyone is forced to do so, including the commune."

When Liu Zhiye heard this, he understood something. It turned out that Hao Shun was so loud and ostentatious because there was someone behind him supporting him.

If you think about it carefully, it is reasonable that the commune production team would have spare capacity to generate income for their small collective after completing the production tasks assigned by their superiors.

However, this matter still needs to be handled with caution to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Old Hao, we have known each other for quite some time, so I have to give you some advice. You have to think carefully about some things, and don't just sell yourself to others and then help them count the money..." Liu Zhiye stared into Hao Shun's eyes and said seriously.

When Hao Shun heard this, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes. He nodded slightly and responded in a low voice: "Don't worry, brother. I am not a vegetarian. I have seen all kinds of storms. If such a day really comes, it will not implicate you..."

After a pause, he continued: "Hehe! At worst, I..."

"Be careful about everything, but if something really happens, don't wait for that day. You can choose to go out to sea! You can go anywhere with a boat. There will always be a way." Liu Zhiye said with a smile.

Hao Shun looked at him sincerely and said, "Thank you, brother. We have never been afraid of anything since the day we chose to do this job. Fishermen are not afraid of losing. We are not afraid of wind and waves. Is there any difference between being buried in the sea and on land?"

Liu Zhiye patted his shoulder and said nothing more.

"Goodbye, see you next time!" Hao Shun, holding a large sack full of money, waved happily to the fishermen, then turned to Liu Zhiye and the two said goodbye to each other.

"See you later!"

……

After returning to the capital, he sold out all the seafood that night. The main buyers this time were the old people and the young.

The transactions this time were almost entirely based on gold, gold and silver jewelry, antique artworks, precious rarities, and the deeds to three houses.

Looking at the large, gleaming, golden boxes in front of him, filled with gold, silver, treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and other treasures, Liu Zhiye, who was now used to seeing large amounts of money, was momentarily stunned.

Then, in front of the glittering treasures, his eyes became brighter and brighter. This harvest was truly a pleasant surprise, both in quantity and variety, enough to make outsiders dumbfounded.

These treasures include not only gold and silver jewelry, but also various rare antique calligraphy and paintings, several of which are priceless treasures.

I have to say that there are really many such families in the capital, and they are really not simple people, with each of them having very rich family background.

This group of people rushed to buy the things, and shouted: This is just a small amount, not enough for them to share the profits.

Come to think of it, they were quite lucky. The capital was liberated peacefully, these people did not suffer too much from the war, and most of their property was retained.

These people now have a lot of money in their hands, but they just can't spend it. It's also a time of material shortage. Now that they finally have a place to spend it, they have to spend it as much as they can.

Their number is considerable, including nearly 6000 former merchants, thousands of factory owners, to Qing dynasty survivors, and more than former Kuomintang officials and office workers. In total, they number several hundred thousand people, and their spending power should not be underestimated.

Now these people are the potential main consumers of materials, and are also the targets that Liu Zhiye will "exploit" severely in the future.

He pondered in his mind and had a feeling that the day when he could do large-scale business with this group of people would come in the next two or three years.

Liu Zhiye thought, why not take this opportunity to make more money? After all, some things will eventually be taken away by them or destroyed in the future, so it is better to let him preserve these precious antiques and artworks. In this way, it can also be regarded as preserving more valuable cultural relics for future generations.

During this period, Liu Zhiye visited these three private residences, which had no other residents except the owners.

These three houses are all located in Dongcheng District. It is a three-story shop with an area of ​​more than 500 square meters and a backyard.

There are three warehouses in the backyard, about 60 to 70 square meters in size. The location is superior to the shop, surrounded by shops, suitable for his future business. Therefore, he plans to secretly register it under his grandfather's name.

There is also a spacious house located in Dengshikou, with a private entrance and courtyard, about 200 to 300 square meters. The location of this house is very good, not far from the Union Hospital.

Liu Zhiye planned to give this yard to his second brother Liu Zhitai, who was doing an internship at Union Hospital. It would be perfect for him to get married, work and live in the future.

Liu Zhitai is now doing an internship at Union Hospital and is very busy, but this spacious courtyard allows him to have a quiet place to rest after work. This courtyard not only has a superior geographical location, but also a beautiful environment, allowing people to get away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy a quiet and comfortable life.

The last residence is located near Di'anmen Street, north of the Imperial City Jingshan Park. Its geographical location and environment are undoubtedly the best among the three properties.

It is adjacent to the Imperial City Jingshan Park in the south, the historic Beihai Park in the west, and the conveniently located Zhang Zizhong Road in the north. It is adjacent to Di'anmen Inner Street and Jingshan Back Street in the east.

Di'anmen Inner Street is a street located in the northeast. It is named after the Di'anmen Gate in the imperial city. Di'anmen Inner Street starts from Di'anmen in the north, connects with Di'anmen Outer Street, Di'anmen West Street, and Di'anmen East Street, and ends at Jingshan Back Street in the south.

Di'anmen Inner Street and Di'anmen Outer Street were divided into two sections in the old days, with Wanning Bridge (Houmen Bridge) as the boundary. The section to the north to the Drum Tower was called "Drum Tower Lower Street" in the Ming Dynasty, named after it was under the Drum Tower; the "Shuntian Prefecture Chronicle" of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty called it "Drum Tower Street". The section to the south was called "Di'anmen Street" in the Qing Dynasty (from Wanning Bridge to Jingshan Houjie, including the southern section of Di'anmen Outer Street and Di'anmen Inner Street today).

Liu Zhiye carefully observed the environment, layout, decoration and other details of these houses, and learned about the nearby geographical environment in detail in order to better judge whether they were suitable for his needs.

He finally chose this quadrangle with two entrances. This house has a large area, about 1,000 square meters, and has a long history, exuding a sense of history, which meets his requirements.

Therefore, Liu Zhiye planned to arrange for the Lei family to renovate the house in the near future so that it could be used as their future residence.

……

Half a month later, Liu Zhiye decisively traded with this group of people again. This time, he emptied most of the seafood and other supplies in the space, leaving only a small amount of daily necessities to meet the daily needs of him and his family.

Liu Zhiye's space warehouse is filled with countless treasures, including 1280 "big yellow croakers" and 2500 "small yellow croakers". There is also a wide variety of gold and silver jewelry, with the number reaching more than 4000 pieces per day, including various gemstone rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, etc.

In addition, there are various seals and jade ornaments in the warehouse. These precious treasures are dazzling and numerous.

In addition, his collection of calligraphy and paintings is also very rich, including 400 masterpieces from the Ming and Qing dynasties, more than 200 works by masters of calligraphy and painting from the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, and more than 4500 rare calligraphy and paintings by celebrities from the late Qing Dynasty and modern times.

In addition, he also collected more than 3000 pieces of Ming and Qing porcelain, more than 500 pieces of Tang, Song and Yuan porcelain, most of which are fine products. The bronze collection is even more magnificent, covering treasures from all dynasties, with a total number of thousands.

It also houses thousands of ancient books and calligraphy stickers, covering all types of books, more than two tons of "Hetian jade" ore, and hundreds of exquisitely crafted Ming and Qing antique furniture.

If these things were put up for auction after 2020, they would be worth at least hundreds of billions of yuan.

In addition, there were more than 60 yuan in cash, more than bills for daily living, personal medals of honor, past trophies, and other miscellaneous personal belongings.

He gazed at the wealth collection in front of him, his heart surging with excitement and joy. Behind this, is his unremitting collection process, like a Pixiu's persistent pursuit.

It can be said that the wealth in front of him is enough for him and his family to live a carefree life for several lifetimes. If he chooses to do nothing, he can easily live the life he has dreamed of for several lifetimes.

However, he would choose this way. Zhou Xingxing once said that a person without a dream is no different from a salted fish.

Although his pursuit of wealth and collection of antiques and artworks was motivated by personal desire, it was more out of the desire to protect culture.

Liu Zhiye has a huge plan in mind, which is to travel abroad more often in the future to "get back" those stolen or lost works of art.

What did you say? There are so many things missing that we can't afford to buy too much?
"Hey hey!" We have space at hand, do we have to spend money?

-

Time flies, the years pass by like an shuttle, without stopping for a moment.

July 1960, 7, the Party’s Founding Day.

The Liujiazhuang training camp was decorated with lights and red flags.

Today is both a day to celebrate the Party’s birthday and a day to celebrate the successful completion of the training camp.

Early in the morning, all the staff wore neatly ironed white uniforms and were excited to participate in today's team-building and flag-raising ceremony.
