Ever since he made his first fortune through this time-space anomaly, Sima's greatest wish has been to buy the entire warehouse and renovate it.

  This is to ensure that the secrets of the space-time anomaly points will not be leaked, and if the warehouse is one's own, then the transportation of large quantities of materials will have security guarantees.

  At the beginning, buying the whole warehouse was just a dream, but due to insufficient funds, only No. 3 warehouse could be rented. Although it would still be inconvenient in some ways, at least it was much safer than the previous warehouse being used by others.

  Now Sima finally raised enough funds to buy the entire warehouse, all thanks to Mr. Matthew of Po Hing Yuen paying 600,000 silver dollars for the cashmere coat deposit.

  Six hundred thousand silver dollars may sound like a lot, but if you use only silver dollars, the weight alone would be over ten tons! Sima found it hard to imagine himself dragging so many silver dollars.

  It was quite convenient to exchange silver dollars for gold in this era, but after exchanging them for gold, it was only over 300 kilograms. However, even so, Sima still found it inconvenient. It can be imagined what kind of sensation it would cause when Sima sold more than 300 kilograms of gold on the market in the 21st century.

  That sensational final result is probably this space-time anomaly point, and it's not worth mentioning the secret. Even Sima himself may be trapped in prison.

  Such a result was obviously not what Sima wanted to see, but if he didn't sell the gold, then Sima wouldn't have enough funds to buy the warehouse. For a moment, Sima fell into a dilemma.

  Simma didn't know how many times he had come to this silver building, but he didn't have the courage to go in and sell the gold in his hands.

  Unless these hundreds of gold bars are divided into hundreds of times and sold in hundreds of silver houses, but at this speed, it is obvious that Sima will not be satisfied. If they sell at this speed, I'm afraid that by the time the money is collected, the cucumber dishes will have gone cold.

  "Hey! Boss Li! Long time no see! Now that we're already at the door, shouldn't we go up and sit for a bit?"

  Sun Yan happened to see off a customer at the Silver Building, and unexpectedly ran into Sima, who hadn't been there for a week or two. He thought he might have lost this client, but unexpectedly met him again. He hastily greeted Sima and invited him upstairs to sit for a while.

  "Haha! What a coincidence! Boss Sun."

  Simma didn't expect to run into the owner of this silver building at this time, and he hastily greeted him. Ah! These hundreds of kilograms of gold are not something that someone like him can swallow.

  Simar realized that no silver house in this small town could take out enough cash to swallow the gold in their hands. Moreover, in a country where gold is semi-controlled today, suddenly putting so much unexplained gold on the market would be hard not to attract attention!

  "It's been so long since I got to know you, Boss Li, and I've never invited you out for a meal. It's really my fault. Today at noon, I'll be the host, don't decline, or it would seem like you're looking down on poor me."

  In the second floor office of Yinlou, Sun Yan asked his secretary to pour a cup of tea for Sima and smiled, saying that since they had run into each other today, they should take this opportunity to build connections. A meal didn't cost much money, but if it could bring back this major client in front of them, then inviting him out for ten more meals would be well worth it.

  "Haha! Boss Sun is too polite!"

  Simazhe understood the intention of the old boss in front of him and did not decline or respond. He casually exchanged pleasantries with him for two sentences.

  "Mr. Sun's office is quite nice! How come Mr. Sun likes collecting porcelain?"

  This Mr. Sun's office decoration is indeed good, not a bit of business taste can be seen, but the scholarly atmosphere is very strong, and those porcelain vases placed over there are mostly blue and white porcelain.

  Ceramics are not Sima's specialty, he just saw some introductions on CCTV's "Antique Roadshow" or similar collection programs.

  "Haha! Mr. Li, don't be amused. Although there are dozens of porcelain pieces in this house, they're all fake, just for show. My family's wealth can't even afford to play with these things."

  Although he spoke lightly, Sima still noticed the old boss Sun in front of him, and when mentioning these things, he seemed to have a hint of disappointment, even his family couldn't afford to play with these things?

  Although I don't know much about this Mr. Sun, he is a well-known figure in this small town. He has built his fortune from scratch and has accumulated hundreds of millions of assets over the past 20 years. If he can't afford these things, probably only a few households in this small town can afford them.

  "Brother Sun, this is no joke."

  "Li, you probably don't understand, you think those people playing with those tens of millions of porcelain are just players? The water in this industry is deep, not to mention now, but just two years ago, that Ming Yongle's blue and white dragon pattern vase was auctioned off for over 10 million, and that Qing Qianlong's glaze red dragon pattern gourd bottle also sold for millions. If brother's little family heirloom were thrown into this industry, it would probably not even be seen."

  As soon as the topic of ceramics and such was brought up, Sun Yan opened up. Ever since he became infatuated with ceramics a few years ago, he had spent a lot of money on them, but in the end, all he got were fake goods.

  As for those auctioned off, Sun Yan himself could only feast his eyes on the beautifully printed pictures in books.

  "Ah! If it were several decades earlier, we would have also gone to pick up some leftovers. Even if not, we could have bought a few and put them in the present... "

  Sometimes people always regret missing this opportunity, that chance, but how many people will think that missing various opportunities and chances is often due to their own lack of courage or ability? I'm afraid not many people will think about this issue.

  "Come on, Brother Sun! Come and tell me all about antiques."

  When he heard that a piece of porcelain was auctioned for tens of millions, Sima suddenly became interested. In the past, Sima might not have been interested in this at all, simply because he couldn't afford it himself. But now, hearing that a piece of porcelain is worth tens of millions, he has become interested.

  "Actually, my brother has just entered this line, and the depth of this industry is probably even old people who have been playing here for decades can't explain it clearly. Actually, in our small place, there are only a few people playing with this stuff, you see those things displayed in the industry, actually not many are genuine goods, when I first entered this line, my brother didn't pay tuition fees to learn from them."

  Starting from around 10 am, Sima had been listening to Old Sun's lectures on antiques and ceramics non-stop until after lunch at two o'clock.

  As an outsider, Sima often just lent an ear to listen, but Sun Yan, a newcomer in the industry, had never met such a dedicated listener before.

  He, who had always liked to show off, couldn't bear it anymore, and spoke with flying spittle. For a while, the two of them were willing to listen and speak, and in Sun Yan's eyes, this Si Ma younger brother had already risen from a customer relationship to a friend relationship after this meal.

  Until Sun Yan received a call from the Silver Building, the two of them reluctantly got up from the restaurant. Sun Yan insisted that Sima come to the store often and discuss these things again together.

  "In a chaotic era, gold; in a prosperous era, antiques." This common Chinese saying that every Chinese person has heard before hits the nail on the head - the value of antiques can only be fully appreciated in a prosperous era.

  But the sentence "I would rather have a piece of Jun porcelain than ten thousand taels of gold" reveals the preciousness of some antiques. After half a day's lesson, although Sun Yan is just a half-baked teacher, he seems like a superior being to Sima, who knows nothing about antiques.

  Although it's definitely not enough to say that learning something is a matter of great importance, Sima discovered a neglected path to wealth from half a day's casual conversation, at least this one is relatively safe.

  Although not very familiar with the antique industry, there are many mentions of antiques in TV shows and literary works. From Sun Yan's words, Sima learned that the antique industry is indeed deep water, and most of the origins of these things are a mystery. In this circle, even many items have blood on them.

  But no one ever asks about the origin of these things, as long as they are auctioned domestically and not registered with the police. If they are auctioned abroad, no one will ask about their origin either. The antique industry is too deep, with collectors, investors, money launderers, and all sorts of people can be found in this industry. In short, the water is too deep and the people are too mixed.

  "Haha! That's exactly what I wanted - you didn't ask where it came from!"

  Looking at the information found online, Sima Jian couldn't believe it, and yet this was actually a great thing in this world. If an ordinary person were to enter this line of work, they would probably be extremely cautious, but for Sima, there probably wasn't a more suitable profession for him in all of China.

  At least no one in this line will investigate the source of things, as long as they are not dirty things, let alone these things are mostly valuable.

  Like a small snuff bottle can be worth millions, far more convenient than using gold, silver and other precious metals. Although the process of cashing out may be troublesome, it has the advantage of basically not attracting police attention.

  For Sima, this kind of fish and dragon mixed antique shop is more suitable for the current self, as said online, the current antique circle has become more and more chaotic, with fish and dragons lurking in it, each with ulterior motives, and even more so now that this antique shop has already involved money laundering and other illegal activities.

  But it's precisely because of this mixture that all kinds of people are suitable for being here, with muddy water and fish to be found, and Sima is exactly the kind of master who wants to come and make some money in this muddy water. What place is more suitable for whitening one's money than here?

  This deal involving an antique worth tens of millions is almost negligible compared to the risks brought by getting a hundred or so kilograms of gold.
