I inherited my grandfather's Tang Dynasty assets.

Chapter 57 Shipment, Extraordinary Buyers

"These are the buyers' contact information and some details about them, but they are all from ten years ago, and we haven't been in touch for a long time."

Chen Yue put down his chopsticks and began to examine the document carefully.

Li Da: Nanzhen Hairui Group; Tang Guojun: Shanghai Rongyun Auction House...

The notebook recorded the names of six people, each with an extraordinary background.

"Grandpa, how did you get in touch with these people? And when you sold them so many good things, didn't it arouse any suspicion?"

Chen Yue hadn't thought much about it before, but now that he's inherited his grandfather's mantle and become the new time-traveling peddler, he's realized the problem.

These days, people's hearts are unpredictable, and many will do anything for profit. An old man from a mountain village selling so many good things is bound to arouse suspicion and even bring him a lot of trouble.

But in Chen Yue's memory, his grandfather never seemed to have encountered such things. When he was a child, he saw that the people who came to his house were very respectful to his grandfather.

Chen Shan grinned.

"The initial buyers weren't them, but some bosses from our county. They were wicked; they not only sent people to follow me, but also tried to coerce and bribe me to find out my channels."

Chen Yue didn't speak, his gaze remaining fixed on his grandfather, which was normal.

"But in the end they found nothing, and even turned their attention to you, trying to kidnap you and force me to tell you the secret."

"Huh? Is that so? I don't recall ever seeing that. Didn't these people treat you with a lot of respect?"

"You were young then, and I had only been a peddler for a short time. I was scared and even considered quitting. Anyway, I made some money and just wanted to take you to live a good life."

Later, he met a very important person from the capital. At the time, he was very ill and near death. One night, he had a strange dream that someone in Zhongnanshan could cure his illness.

Chen Yue was enjoying the conversation when the old man stopped, which made him very uncomfortable, so he quickly filled his glass with wine.

"And then? Don't tell me you cured his illness."

Although the old man knew everything about mountain products, he absolutely did not know any medical skills, Chen Yue was certain of that.

To everyone's surprise, the old man laughed and nodded.

"It wasn't me who cured him, but rather Sun Simiao. He heard that I had received many good mountain products and a few antiques, so he asked someone to find me, hoping that I could help him find an ancient prescription called 'Purple Lotus Soup'."

But I had no idea about the ancient recipe for Purple Lotus Soup. He insisted that I had a way, and even claimed that the person who said in his dream that he could cure his illness was me.

I was finally forced to agree to let him come back in half a month. Then I went to the other side of the sect and happened to run into Sun Simiao in Chang'an. That was the first time I met him.

It's been over twenty years. You were only two or three years old then. And guess what? The ancient prescription he wanted was actually devised by Sun Simiao.

I traded the recipe with him for white sugar, and he also told me the details of the recipe.

So when I got back, I told him about it, and he was very happy and excited. It just so happened that the prescription needed some medicinal herbs, which I had brought back from the Tang Dynasty, so I gave them to him as well.

In the days that followed, we kept in touch frequently. He said that the prescription was very useful. After I went to the Tang Dynasty, I found Sun Simiao and told him about the patient's condition. Sun Simiao then relayed a message through me and gave me two more supplementary prescriptions.

He eventually recovered and became very healthy. He said I was his savior and didn't ask any more questions after learning about my situation.

But all the people who had bullied me before disappeared from our county. About two months later, he introduced me to some other buyers and told me that I could contact them directly if I needed anything in the future.

"Don't worry about where the goods came from, and don't worry about anyone tracing them back to me. These people come from all over the country, they're all very wealthy, and they treat me with great respect, offering very high prices."

Chen Yue was stunned after hearing this.

"Grandpa, who is that important person? His dream is so strange, could it be caused by a time portal?"

Chen Yue felt that this was possible; this door possessed too many incredible abilities, and accomplishing all of this seemed not difficult.

And it was all too coincidental. Just when Grandpa was about to quit being a peddler out of fear, that important man had a strange dream that someone in Zhongnan Mountain could save him, and he was convinced that it was his own grandfather.

What's even more coincidental is that the ancient prescription the other party wanted was devised by Sun Simiao, and my grandfather also happened to meet Sun Simiao in Chang'an. It's one thing if one or two of these coincidences happen, but it's impossible for all of them to happen at the same time.

"That's what I think too. Who cares? Anyway, it's a good thing for our family. Since then, whenever I bring back something good from the Tang Dynasty, I just contact them directly, and there have never been any problems."

As for this important figure, all I know is that his surname is Gu, he's incredibly powerful, and he must be almost ninety now. We haven't been in touch for seven or eight years.

Chen Yue immediately took out his phone and searched online. The list of buyers that his grandfather had given him came from six different companies.

Tianrui Group is in the pharmaceutical business, and Rongyun Auction House is well-known in the antique market in addition to auctions. Chen Yue felt that there must be some kind of connection between them.

However, online information shows that none of the legal representatives of their company have the surname Gu, and they are from all over the country and have absolutely no connection with each other.

"I've already investigated. These companies should be related to Mr. Gu. Here's what you should do: contact this Tang Guojun first. He used to take the most things from me. Let's see what's going on."

Chen Yue thought about it and agreed. Nowadays, in many large companies, the bosses are the ones who are pushed to the forefront, while the real big shots are hidden behind the scenes directing the overall situation. Someone who can control so many large companies at the same time and comes from Beijing must be extraordinary. It would be strange if you could find any secrets about him online.

Grandpa saved that old man's life, and the two sides have been trading peacefully for so many years. He should be trustworthy, at least much safer than finding a channel on your own.

"It's too early now. I'll try contacting them again after 8 o'clock."

After finishing his meal, Chen Yue went back to his room and dozed off for a while. Reflecting on his experiences in the Tang Dynasty over the past ten days, it felt like a dream.

At 8:30, Chen Yue's phone alarm rang on time. He got up, brushed his teeth, and washed his face. His grandfather was already in the yard drinking tea and waiting for him.

Chen Yue sat down next to him and used the old man's phone to dial the number on the laptop, which belonged to Tang Guojun.

Rongyun is one of the top five auction houses in China, and the Tang family is also a leading force in the domestic antique industry.

Even in a place like Shanghai, he is considered one of the super-rich.

The old man, Tang Wenzhan, is now over seventy years old and still lives in the old house of his family. He has three sons and one daughter and is in charge of all the Tang family's businesses.

Yesterday was his great-grandson's first birthday, and the whole family went back to the old house to celebrate.

The eldest son, Tang Guojun, is in charge of most of the family business and is also the chairman of the group. The two are talking in the living room.

Tang Guojun's phone suddenly vibrated. He picked it up and saw that the contact name was "Old Chen of Zhong Nanshan". He stood up abruptly.
