Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Wang Jianjun felt a little regretful as it was rare for him to buy an assault rifle but he only had one.

The stall owner got him an AK47.

This Soviet-made assault rifle is well-known in later generations.

It is famous for its low cost, durability and wide adaptability.

Even after decades, this gun is not considered outdated.

Wang Jianjun has always wanted to get a weapon with high firepower.

Some time ago, he was teleported to Inner Mongolia to hunt, and the wild goat he finally found was taken away by a pack of wolves.

Wang Jianjun was so angry that he fired a few shots at the wolves, but the wolves dared to resist and pounced on him.

Because there were too many of them, Wang Jianjun's pistol was somewhat useless.

If the bullet misses and hits a wolf, it will seriously injure it, but it will also stimulate the wolf's ferocity.

In the end, Wang Jianjun had no choice but to hide in the space.

In order to avenge his previous humiliation, he later often came to the gun stall owner to ask him to get him some powerful weapons.

The man agreed only after being annoyed by Wang Jianjun several times.

An AK is not cheap, and the other party charged him fifty dollars.

The man took the money and ran away without saying a word, as if he was avoiding the plague.

Wang Jianjun curled his lips and told you that I bought the gun to kill wolves, but you didn’t believe it.

After putting the gun away, Wang Jianjun went to find the antique seller again.

Wang Jianjun came this time just for the antiques he was selling.

He had previously taken the blue and white porcelain to the person introduced by Lou Bancheng for appraisal.

The stuff is real, but the price is a bit high.

Wang Jianjun didn't care whether he was tall or not. There was no bargain to be made in the black market.

It's good enough if it's genuine.

So Wang Jianjun came here just to take over what was left in his hands.

Although he was buying antiques, he still asked the other party if he had any gold.

"The big yellow croaker has been bought, and there are only two small yellow croakers left."

"Okay, I'll take all the small yellow croakers. I'll also take all the antiques. Give me a discount."

"I'll give you two dollars off for each item. You know the prices haven't changed."

Wang Jianjun nodded. He had asked the stall owner about the price of these porcelains before, but he didn't want to waste money because he didn't know whether they were real or not.

It was because Wang Jianjun asked several more times that the other party took note of him.

That man's antiques don't seem to be in good market, and he always has the same items every time he comes.

Two glazed plum vases, a paperweight, and a celadon-glazed washbasin.

The most expensive item was the glaze washbasin. The stall owner said it was from the palace during the Northern Song Dynasty, and he was asking for 400 yuan.

Wang Jianjun bought it despite the pain.

Of course, if he knew that this thing would be auctioned for hundreds of millions in the future, he probably wouldn't feel so heartbroken.

It seems that Wang Jianjun is a big money sponsor.

The stall owner hesitated for a while and asked:

"Are you going to buy a lot of antiques, sir?"

Wang Jianjun's heart moved and he said casually:

"Well, if there are any, I'd like to buy some for my collection. My old man at home likes them very much."

After hearing what Wang Jianjun said, the man lowered his voice and said:

"My friend, if you plan to buy more, we can go outside to discuss. It's not convenient here because there are so many people."

Wang Jianjun also thought so, so he signaled to the other party and left the black market together.

After leaving the black market, the two walked to a remote place.

The man took off the scarf that was wrapped tightly around his face, revealing a middle-aged face.

He is a middle-aged man in his forties.

He is quite old and doesn't look like someone who does physical labor all year round, so his family conditions should be good.

"Little brother, let me introduce myself. My name is Wu Jing, and I am a bannerman."

Wang Jianjun suddenly realized, no wonder the other party looked so discordant.

It turned out to be a remnant of the old people.

"My name is Ye Fan."

Wang Jianjun was not sure what the other party was thinking, so he just mentioned a fake name.

The man didn't think much and continued:

"Brother Ye, I see that you are not short of money since you can afford these antiques. I just happen to be planning to sell a batch of antiques. If you want them, I can sell them to you in bulk at a lower price."

Wang Jianjun had a surprise. If it was true, it would save him a lot of effort.

Although he was excited, Wang Jianjun asked calmly.

"How much stuff do you have left?"

"There are dozens of them. They are all porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, and other things passed down from our ancestors."

“You have so many to sell?”

The man smiled bitterly and said:

"Yes, to be honest, my family is planning to move to the south, and now we just want to get rid of these things and exchange them for money so that we can carry them with us.

Although I go to the black market often, I am always nervous every time I go there. If I can handle it all at once, it will save me a lot of trouble."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianjun also became interested and continued to ask:

"Then give me a price. I also need to see if I can afford that much money."

"Six or seven thousand is the minimum for so many antiques. If you really want that price, we can negotiate. The items are authentic, just take them to someone for inspection.

How about this, it's still early, I'll invite you to have a drink and we can sit down and chat."

Wang Jianjun nodded and immediately removed the disguise on his face.

The other party was a bannerman, so he was not worried about revealing his identity.

The Bannermen were called the "old and young", which indicated their social status.

Those who can be called Bannermen are mostly those whose ancestors are wealthy, and they are different from the ordinary Manchus who have integrated into the Han people.

These people care more about status and position, and most of them come from wealthy families.

But it also leads to these people being unable to integrate into the new society or not wanting to integrate.

All he thought about all day was restoring the honor of his ancestors, but he ignored the fact that they were finished early in the morning.

Even the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty has lost his fertility and now works as a clerk in the Museum of Literature and History.

Wang Jianjun remembered that this group of people were among those knocked down when the wind blew.

Wu Jing was also a little surprised when she saw Wang Jianjun's handsome young face.

This guy is probably in his early twenties, not much older than his son.

After removing his disguise, Wang Jianjun followed Wu Jing all the way to Daqianmen.

"Let me tell you, the liquor sold in this pub is the best in the Daqianmen area. The previous owner mixed water into the liquor, but he stopped doing that after his daughter-in-law took over the pub. What they sell is authentic Niulanshan Erguotou."

Wang Jianjun felt something was wrong when he heard this.

This plot seems familiar.

Wait, Daqianmen seems to be also called Zhengyangmen.

Wang Jianjun instantly thought of the period drama "The Old Woman Under the Zhengyang Gate".

I don't think he went to the pub that Xu Huizhen owned.

Wang Jianjun didn't watch that drama carefully.

All I know is that it is the entrepreneurial story of two heroines.

Speaking of which, these two heroines are not easy to deal with.

They say they are best friends but they dislike each other.

On the surface, they are harmonious sisters, but behind the scenes, they are just fake sisters who can stab each other.

Throughout the entire drama, Wang Jianjun only remembered the two heroines fighting each other, from little women to big women and then to old women.

It would be interesting if he was really a character in this drama.

He actually likes watching women quarreling.
