Within a few days, the list of members of the Achievement Assessment Committee was listed. Academician Cai got the list and began to mark the lines for Yang Rui.

"Professor Li handed over to Lao Tang, and there are contacts in their laboratory." Academician Cai wrote the name of Tang Ji after a name and smiled and said, "Yang Rui, you can do your job by yourself. Please ask him to take you to see Professor Li. What to do at that time? You can see his instructions."

"Okay." Yang Rui figured out that it should be similar to meeting a professor when he was taking the postgraduate entrance examination. If you see him, others may not accept you. If you don't see him, most of them will have no chance.

Academician Cai smiled and pointed to a name below and said, "Professor Qi counts me. I have called. I'll go with you one day. You have to buy a gift first."

"Okay, what kind of gift?"

Academician Cai smiled and said, "Professor Qi likes calligraphy and painting."

Yang Rui was stunned. The price of calligraphy and paintings can be high or low, and it is not so easy to give it to you no matter how you think about it.

"You can ask someone to draw one, and you can buy one by yourself. Academician Cai waited and said, "There are four people on the list in Beijing, and the other seven people are all in other places. If you want to fly back and forth, it will be a considerable expense."

Yang Rui had talked about the topic of flying with Academician Cai before, but the latter suddenly raised it. Yang Rui suddenly realized it and said, "I understand. I will go buy a copy of calligraphy and painting today."

Round trip air tickets are money, and calligraphy and paintings are also money. The price of calligraphy and paintings is probably about the same according to the price of the round trip air ticket.

Judging from the air tickets and calligraphy prices in the 1980s, this calligraphy and painting is not cheap, and maybe you can buy Zhang Daqian and Qi Baishi.

When Academician saw that the child was taught, he nodded and said, "Professor Wang Yong also likes these miscellaneous things. You can ask him to buy them for you."

"Can Professor Wang Yong determine the appraisal?" Yang Rui was not particularly surprised. There were no survival pressure for professors in universities. There were some who were willing to be scientific researchers, and there were also some who were willing to invest and enthusiasts. There were many people who were playing calligraphy, painting jade and making comments on Redology.

"Wang Yong should know how to appraise," Academician Cai said uncertainly, "I don't understand this. In short, you can find him to explore the way first. There are many people who like calligraphy, painting and antiques."

Professor Cai clicked twice on the list.

Yang Rui chuckled twice. There are many reasons for liking calligraphy and painting antiques. Although personal hobbies are one aspect, they can also like money.

It is normal for professors with high research skills to have hobbies, and it is normal for professors with respect to love money.

Yang Rui wrote it down and listened to Professor Cai's explanation.

Just like the two people in the previous period, most professors, Professor Cai, only knows and is not familiar with them, but he will introduce familiar professors to Yang Rui, including those who held a small meeting a few days ago.

Yang Rui compared it one by one, and after going out, he went to see Professor Wang Yong.

Professor Wang Yong has always admired Yang Rui very much, and Yang Rui also reciprocates. He used the quota given by Coca-Cola to send Professor Wang Yong and his wife to the United States for a trip.

Because the two sides have close contacts and pure polite exchanges, the relationship between Yang Rui and Professor Wang Yong is actually closer.

Professor Wang Yong's wife also likes Yang Rui very much, and occasionally gives him some homemade snacks.

Therefore, Yang Rui called Professor Wang Yong, made an appointment to go directly to his house.

Soon, Professor Wang Yong rushed back, looked at the fruits and pastries placed on Yang Rui's table, grabbed an apple and wiped them, and smiled and said, "You should come to your house more. I don't know where these things are placed."

"It's just on the balcony, you're too lazy to wash it." Mrs. Wang came in and said, then put a pot of grapes on the table, and smiled and said, "I washed it with starch, so I can eat it with the skin, it's very sweet."

"Thank you, Master's wife." Yang Rui immediately grabbed one and started eating. Sure enough, he nodded repeatedly.

Wang Yong smiled and said, "The grapes they carried by old friends from the Agricultural College, and the improved varieties they carried were good and had high sweetness. They just couldn't promote them, so they could only eat them by themselves."

Yang Rui was surprised: "Why can't it be promoted?"

"The yield is low, the resistance to diseases and pests is also low, and the fertilizer requirements are high, and the corresponding one is labor-intensive. It is delicious and the farmers are unwilling to plant it. They opened a piece of land in the school, invited a few people to plant it, and sent it to people everywhere." Wang Yong said himself and laughed, saying, "It's useless except for deliciousness."

Yang Rui laughed silently: "The cheap price is the most difficult thing."

"That's right, it's not easy to be good, and it has to be cheap. However, the yield is indeed a little lower. The Agricultural College has planted two or three acres of land and sent it everywhere. After a year, it's gone." Wang Yong said a few gossips and asked, "Did you come here specifically for the purpose of evaluating results?"

Yang Rui did not hide it and said, "I want to buy two calligraphy and paintings, I want to ask you to choose one for me."

Wang Yong didn't ask who he gave him, just said, "How much is it to buy?"

“Worth the round trip air ticket money.”

Wang Yongxiao said: "The round-trip air tickets also depend on where the round-trip air tickets are from. The cheapest ticket costs 30 to 50 yuan, and the expensive ticket costs 20 to 300 yuan..."

"Just calculate it based on the medium-grade and higher-grade ones. The main thing is to buy a few real calligraphy and paintings, don't make a mistake." Yang Rui said it seriously. The literary and calligraphy and painting have been popular for a long time, so there are more real goods than fakes, and fakes are more real goods than real goods...

Wang Yong's expression was a little weird, and he said, "Of course calligraphy and paintings are real. Normal people, who would buy fake ones?"

Yang Rui was speechless and could only ask: "When will we go?"

Wang Yong raised his hand and looked at his watch, saying, "There are still a few hours left, let's go now."

The two of them left as soon as they said that they could leave. They rode all the way outside Jianguo Gate, and not farther away, the car stopped under Wang Yong's command.

Yang Rui looked up and saw that he was neither the City God Temple nor the Antique City nor the Antique City, nor even the antique shop with a simple decoration, but just a somewhat dilapidated wooden courtyard.

"It's here?"

"Yes, come in and see." Wang Yong pushed open the door familiarly.

Yang Rui looked around and saw only the words "business department" and was blocked by someone.

"Young man, we're closed." The person who spoke was a middle-aged woman in her forties, holding a sweater in her hand.

On the counter behind, someone said disdainfully: "If you don't look at where it is, you can break in and go shopping on Xiushui Road."

Wang Yong, who came in one minute earlier than Yang Rui, coughed and said, "He came with me."

"Old Wang, I won't pay attention to it anymore. Let him come in." The person at the counter said, and the middle-aged woman who was blocking people at the door made way, closed the door, and sat behind and put on a sweater.

Needless to ask, when you see the shops that are wearing sweaters, they are all state-owned stores. They speak so arrogantly, which means that they are still selling in short supply.

However, when Yang Rui bought antiques and went to a state-owned store, it was the first time that he knew about it. When he arrived at Professor Wang, he asked in a low voice: "We haven't found the wrong place, right?"

"The city of Beijing is full, you can't find a better place." Wang Yong said again, "This is an internal store specially for veteran cadres to buy antiques. If you have something to say to me, don't mess with them."

After saying that, he remembered Yang Rui's previous words, and Wang Yong reminded him again: "The things inside are all real. The old Chaofeng people checked them every day in the back room. But it's hard to say that there are always times when they miss it. It's not that someone deliberately sells fake goods. If you encounter them, don't tell me. I'll take them and take them to you. Do you understand?"

Yang Rui asked curiously: "Special supply to veteran cadres? Only veteran cadres can buy them, but others cannot buy them? Why?"

"When you ask, why can't you provide special services to veteran cadres?"

Yang Rui had no choice but to buy it like this: "So you can only buy it like this, but I can't buy it like this?"

"I can't buy it if I'm wrong." Wang Yong said in a low voice: "This is specially for senior cadres of our party. My level is not enough. However, I am familiar with the people here. It's okay to buy two or three pieces. Alas, in the past, antiques were sold openly, but later they were not allowed to sell them. I'll see, it's the best here."

While talking, Wang Yong took him through the room at the door, went up to the second floor, and then pushed open a double door, and smelled the strong smell of ink ink.

"Old Zheng, I'm busy." Wang Yong threw a box of cigarettes into the door and smiled: "Remember to smoke outside the door."

"Oh, Lao Wang came to me today? What are you going to pick today?" Lao Zheng rubbed his neck and stood up, putting the cigarette in his pocket.

Wang Yongdao: "Pick two calligraphy and paintings."

"There are so many calligraphy and paintings, you have to be more specific." Lao Zheng took out a bunch of keys from the drawer, leaned against the big cabinet beside the wall, opened two at will, and said, "By the time, this is from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. You can pick it first. There is a water bottle next to it, and pour water to wash your hands."

The cabinet he opened was one person wide and one person half high. It was made into several long and large frames, each frame was densely connected to dozens of scrolls of calligraphy and paintings.

Inside this cabinet alone, there are hundreds of volumes of calligraphy and paintings, and along the wall, there are at least a dozen such cabinets.

"Not before the Qing Dynasty?" Yang Rui couldn't help asking.

"My nephew." Wang Yong explained to Lao Zheng.

Lao Zheng nodded and then replied: "The inner room in the Ming Dynasty is also expensive and not cost-effective."

"How expensive?" Yang Rui blurted out.

Lao Zheng was a little strange, but he still replied: "It costs several hundred yuan. If I ask me, the paintings are almost the same, and the ones I have here are much cheaper."

Yang Rui thought to himself: In the future, the price difference will be even greater.

In the Ming Dynasty, those with a slightly less famous calligraphy and painting price per square foot was often tens of thousands of yuan. If it were the representative works of famous painters, the price per square foot would soar to hundreds of thousands of yuan.

One square meter is 9 square feet. In other words, the Ming Dynasty calligraphy and paintings that are two meters long and one meter wide or one meter long and width cost hundreds of thousands of yuan. If they are bigger or more famous, the price will be even higher.

Thinking of this, Yang Rui looked at a dozen large cabinets and felt like he was already in his heart.
