It's no exaggeration to say they're sneaky; these people are like rats, completely unable to be seen in the light of day.
They walked in, then closed the door and walked straight ahead.
If you didn't know better, you'd think this was their home.
Zhang Fan sensed a dusty smell emanating from them, and based on their attire and appearance, he was able to determine their identities.
Several people walked over, and the one in the lead looked around.
"Boss, do you buy freshly baked, high-quality stuff?"
This shop is an antique shop combined with a pharmacy, so outsiders can tell at a glance that it deals in antiques.
"Freshly baked good stuff?" This is industry slang.
"Look at what it is."
Zhang Fan actually knew what it was; he had X-ray vision.
These people are incredibly audacious; they actually dared to dig up someone else's ancestral grave, and many of the items inside were from the Wei family's ancestral grave.
The Wei family believed that Zhong Jiahao was responsible, but it was actually this group of people who did it.
These people should still have connections with the second-in-command; they've always worked together before. I don't know why they're looking for outsiders.
Therefore, it is still uncertain whether there is a conspiracy involved.
The leader opened the snakeskin bag and took out some antiques. These bottles and jars were burial items from the Wei family's ancestral graves. To be honest, they weren't very valuable and only served a sacrificial purpose.
Seeing that Zhang Fan didn't seem to like it, a tall man next to him took out a box, from which rolled out many beads, including jade beads, pearls, and a white pill-like object.
These items are now worth considerably more.
Do you have any porcelain?
Zhang Fan looked up at the group of people.
Does this count?
Then, one of his henchmen came up and took out a small bottle from the bag. This was one of the few things they had kept intact. They brought it because it didn't take up much space and was quite nice-looking.
Previously, they all sold their goods to the second-in-command, who said the bottles were worthless, so now they don't take the bottles anymore. But the second-in-command always wants the bottles, even at extremely low prices.
"This bottle is nice; it must be a family heirloom. I can offer this price. If you're interested, you can sell it to me."
Zhang Fan held up five fingers.
"That's too little, five thousand yuan isn't enough for us brothers to live it up."
One of the tomb raiders immediately objected.
I meant five million.
Five thousand? You sold it to the second-in-command for five thousand before?
That guy is really dark-skinned.
"One million, take it now."
It seems these people don't believe this thing is that valuable either.
One million?
Zhang Fan nodded and personally went over to withdraw one million.
This is a family heirloom of the Wei family. If you want to do cosmetics business, you can't do without the help of the Wei family, otherwise they will hold you back at every turn.
Earning a million to do someone a favor is definitely a good deal.
The other items aren't very valuable, and I don't care about them anyway; they're all things belonging to the dead, so they're hard to sell.
This porcelain piece is truly valuable, though its commemorative value far exceeds its actual value.
But no matter what, it's not something you can buy for a million. In the auction market, it's a high-quality item worth tens of millions.
It now seems that these people were being exploited too much by the second-in-command, so they wanted to try an antique shop instead.
How could that second-in-command be so ruthless?
"I heard that the ancestral tombs of the Shen family in Hong Kong are located in Binhai. There were rumors that there were some rare treasures inside, but I don't know if it's true."
Zhang Fan watched the tomb raiders leave, then muttered something to himself.
Upon hearing this, the tomb raiders seemed to be injected with adrenaline.
They sold a bottle, made a million, and also obtained important intelligence. This trip was truly valuable.
Zhang Fan packed the bottle away and left the shop.
Last time I mentioned that I would help find some of the Wei family's lost ancestral treasures, and this bottle is the core of that treasure.
Now that we have it, we naturally have to return it to the Wei family.
I'm also grateful to the Wei family for helping me get two approval numbers; otherwise, I'd still be operating without a license.
I drove to the Wei family's house again.
The Wei family's ancestral graves were dug up before, and they are now gathering resources to renovate them.
If it weren't for seeing Zhang Fan carrying a bottle, the Wei family wouldn't have been able to get in.
Old Wei has been very angry lately and has been holding back his anger.
Upon seeing the bottle in Zhang Fan's hand, he immediately perked up, put down his teacup, and jogged over.
Where did you get this?
Old Wei was very excited. Now the ancestral graves can be repaired, but the lost items cannot be retrieved.
Even if it's renovated, it'll just be an empty shell.
“I bought it because someone was selling it. I’m grateful to Mr. Wei for helping me with the permit issue before.”
"I heard that the Shen family's health products have been approved in Binhai?"
Zhang Fan sat down and spoke calmly.
The Shen family also runs a health supplement business, and it's quite a large one. Thanks to the name "International Hong Kong," their products sell very well.
"It hasn't been approved yet; we still need to hold a meeting to discuss it. How is this related to the Shen family?"
Looking at the bottle, tears streamed down Old Wei's face. His ancestral treasure had finally returned; otherwise, he would have felt ashamed before his ancestors.
"I heard that the Shen family loves to disrupt feng shui. Whenever someone rises to power, they resort to underhanded tactics, such as sticking pins in voodoo dolls, hiring sorcerers to curse, and if all else fails, they even dig up graves."
Zhang Fan spoke in a low voice, sharing some gossip.
People in the South believe in Feng Shui, and large families pay special attention to these things.
Thinking about it carefully now, it seems that the Shen family was indeed up to something.
Now the Shen family has angered Old Master Yun to death, causing the Yun family to collapse instantly.
Since that's the case, the Shen family shouldn't expect to have an easy time in the South!
The approval that was supposed to be granted will probably be delayed. As for when it will be granted, we'll just have to wait and see.
"You kid, the two kinds of ancient formula pills in your shop are both good, but they can't be mass-produced, so many people can't buy them. Since the Zhang family used to be in the pharmaceutical business, why don't you launch more products?"
“Our country gives preferential treatment to ancient prescriptions. The procedures can be simplified a lot. Moreover, in China, national-level prescriptions can be kept confidential. Recently, the higher-ups have asked us to promote national self-confidence. I think you can apply for more approvals.”
Old Wei chuckled.
The meaning behind these words is self-evident.
The higher-ups are indeed paying attention, but traditional Chinese medicine formulas are still not favored. Now the higher-ups also know that Sakura is secretly acquiring traditional Chinese medicine formulas at high prices. Traditional Chinese medicine formulas, which are not favored in China, are very popular in Sakura.
In particular, some ancient Chinese medicine prescriptions are the focus of attention for the Sakura group.
"Thank you very much, sir. I have other things to attend to, so I'll go ahead and take care of them."
Seeing how busy Old Wei was, Zhang Fan realized that the bottle had been returned, the benefits had been obtained, and some advice had been given, so he had achieved his goal.
Old Wei nodded, looked at the bottle, and then looked up at Zhang Fan who was leaving. This kid is quite savvy.
The Shen family still wants to do business in the south? They'll suffer the consequences!
