Chapter 116: Price Increase

In fact, Zhang Shihui can't really be blamed for his lack of cultural literacy and too limited thinking.

It is the so-called "famine in troubled times, collection in prosperous times".

According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, spiritual taste at least belongs to the third level of emotional and spiritual belonging.

And when people are hungry, the only thing they really care about is firewood, rice, oil and salt.

Therefore, only our country's economy will grow first, and the social order will stabilize first.

When the people's physiological demands and security demands are met first, our people will realize the preciousness of the traditional national culture.

Ning Weimin was able to do this step all because he was a superman who was ahead of his time.

So who can compare?

Not even Kanshude.

To tell you the truth, don't look at the old man's first half of his life, he has been dealing with cultural antiquities.

But if it weren't for Ning Weimin's repeated pouting with him, he wouldn't have touched these things again.

Because in my heart, I was scared for a long time, and my spirit was tired.

A person of his age actually just wants a safe life, and he really doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

Of course, because collecting is a barometer of the rise and fall of society, which is closely related to the prosperity and strength of the country.

Therefore, even if Zhang Shihui can't understand it, with the deepening of the reform and opening up process, the group of people participating in the collection continues to grow day by day.

This is also irreversible and cannot be stopped by manpower.

By the end of this year, the Beijing government had issued the "Notice on Further Strengthening the Work of Cultural Relics," and the industrial and commercial departments had therefore strengthened the seizure of old goods.

But the antique stalls are increasing unabated, and they are copying more and more.

In a hurry, many new ghost markets have emerged.

As far as Ning Weimin heard from under the root of the altar, there are several places such as the White Temple, the Drum Tower, the Houhai, the Longtan Lake, the Imperial City Root, and the Official Garden.

To put it bluntly, it's like weeds, "wildfires can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows".

The only bad thing is that because of the tightening situation, the ghost markets everywhere have also advanced the closing time.

Most of the stall owners left at dawn without further delay to prevent a surprise operation by the industrial and commercial law enforcement department.

And in this way, Ning Weimin will not be very enjoyable when he goes to the ghost market.

Even if you go to the nearest altar, when the lights are dim, you can walk for an hour or two every time.

I often haven't seen enough, and I can't finish all the stalls, so I have to end it.

But don't say it, this kid is a goblin, and he's lucky.

Unintentionally stumbled into it, and it actually made him find a good place to hold his treasure.

Although it's not as enjoyable as picking up leaks in the ghost market.

But one is to save time, the other is to save trouble, and the key transaction is not boring, but it can be a big benefit.

In terms of cost performance, it is better than the ghost market.

What's going on?

Hey, if you want to talk about this, you have to start with Ning Weimin's second trip to Rong Baozhai to buy paintings.

Don't forget, in the first month of the new year, just by being a second-class dealer, Ning Weimin made 5,000 yuan.

And monkey tickets don't have to spend money anymore, and the opening time of the ghost market is tightening.

His only big expense was to buy two washing machines, which was only 500 yuan.

What do I do with the rest of the money?

He didn't want to keep his hands, and he didn't want to keep it in the bank.

Then you have to find a good place to spend the money, so I took the time to come to Rong Bao Zhai again.

Nothing else, I still plan to buy some modern famous calligraphy and paintings.

But he came and went, but he was quite lost.

If nothing else, it's because the price of things has risen.

And it hasn't risen by a star or a half, with an average increase of six or seven percent.

Now Qi Baishi has risen from 32 yuan per square foot to 571 square feet.

Zhang Daqian also rose from 25 yuan to 46 yuan, and Xu Beihong rose from 25 to 42 yuan.

Pan Tianshou, Chen Banding, Fu Baoshi, and Li Keran rose from 15 yuan to 25 yuan to 20 yuan.

Huang Zhou, Wu Zuoren, Wang Xuetao, and Ren Bonian also rose from 12 yuan to 18 yuan to 22 yuan.

Even Lu Yanshao and Huang Binhong have risen from eight yuan to twelve yuan.

It's only been half a year, and this range is a bit evil!

For this reason, Ning Weimin went to Director Song's office to find out what was going on.

When Kangshude brought him to sell his paintings last year, he was just in time for various units in Beijing to jointly hold an export exhibition in Hong Kong City, which was a great success.

Not only has it attracted 160,000 people to visit, but all kinds of special handicrafts have been almost swept away because of their low prices and the huge disparity between them and the markets outside.

Modern and modern paintings and calligraphy, jade, stone seals, bone carvings, enamels, materials, and interior paintings are the most sought-after transactions.

So from then on, not only people in China know the market outside, but people outside also know that the price of these things in China is low.

Naturally, the number of buyers who entered the inland "Taobao" from the port city began to increase day by day.

At the same time, the price of these special handicrafts has also been adjusted in China.

Especially calligraphy and painting works, which have been verified by the market, are the most sought-after varieties.

In half a year, this is the third time that the price has been raised.

So because of this, Director Song was not unhappy about Ning Weimin's disturbance.

On the contrary, he was willing to stop his work and patiently explained the cause and effect to him.

Why?

To put it bluntly, this is not because he is enthusiastic and enthusiastic, but because he is cautious and remembers his hatred.

He clearly remembered that the Ning Weimin in front of him was the master who took a big advantage from him.

Last time, I sent two ancient paintings, and this kid not only asked the old man for a high price for singing and harmony, but he almost couldn't explain it to him.

On the eve of the price increase, this kid took away 57 of his paintings at a 10% discount.

Well, now it's all right, this stinky boy's shit luck is gone, right?

If you buy it again, you'll have to pay a lot of money.

So when I was able to tell me about these situations in person, Director Song's eyes were full of excitement.

Seeing Ning Weimin's gloomy and lost appearance, for him, it was as refreshing as avenging an arrow in person.

"Little comrade, you are really unlucky, it would be nice to come a few days earlier. It wasn't that expensive back then. And I can give you a better discount. ”

"It's a pity, it's not going to work now, not only has the price been raised, but the top has also spoken. In the past, 'plan first, price second' is no longer advocated. Now we are asked to 'distinguish between the inside and the outside, and make separate prices.' ”

"So there is no way, our current business policy is to make every effort to ensure the task of earning foreign exchange. The discount for domestic guests is limited, and you have to spend at least 1,000 yuan or more to give a 95% discount. Only foreign guests, who buy with foreign exchange coupons, can get a better discount. ”
