As the saying goes, the good are afraid of evil, the evil are afraid of the horizontal, the horizontal are afraid of life, and the desperate are afraid of madness!

It turns out that Xiang Weirong and Guan Xingquan are not clear, but this will be regarded as insight!

The one who "went crazy" was Zhang Nan, and what he would do could be said to be more ferocious than bandits in the collecting world! Even more unreasonable than robbers! Absolutely only a madman would do it!

The madman goes out, and everyone avoids it!

Yesterday, after it was decided to stay in Shanghai for one more day, due to the current bad road traffic situation, Zhang Nan directly called the Yan County Materials Bureau: asked Director Guo to help, and dispatched two semi-trailers to Shanghai. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the middle of last night, the truck had already arrived at the guest house, driving Lao Zhang and the old building of the material bureau team.

At 8 o'clock this morning, an extended Lincoln arrived at the door of the Shanghai cultural relics store at No. 218~226 GD Road, Shanghai, which immediately attracted passers-by.

Shanghai cultural relics store is a state-owned class A cultural relics business concession unit, was founded in the late Qing Dynasty Guangxu period, formerly known as "Shanghai antique market", is a long history, specializing in cultural relics and art treasures of the century-old store, with rich goods, strong technical force and warm and excellent service famous at home and abroad, can be called the first antique store in the Far East!

Zhang Nan is here to sweep the goods today!

And it's not sweeping with a sack on your back - two 8-ton semi-trailers come directly!

However, there is a problem that makes him complain: at present, the Shanghai cultural relics store has stopped the export business of the handicrafts import and export company!

Since 1981, the cultural relics stores in Shanghai have adhered to the principle of "less high exchange and longer flow", and began to strictly control the export of cultural relics and gradually reduce the number of foreign wholesalers.

(Note that the export of cultural relics can be wholesaled before!)

Some of the varieties of cultural relics that have been less in China are strictly controlled, such as: the works of the late famous calligraphers and painters Xu Beihong, Fu Baoshi, Pan Tianshou, Dong Xiwen, Wang Shikuo, Li Keran and others are not allowed to be exported;

Wu Hufan, He Tianjian, Qi Baishi, Feng Zikai, Huang Binhong, Shen Yinmo, Zhang Daqian, Deng Sanmu and other 67 calligraphers and painters and representative works of various periods are not allowed to leave the country.

Since June 18 last year, the wholesale export of cultural relics and old handicrafts by the Shanghai Arts and Crafts Import and Export Company has been stopped.

The company's inventory of 3 million pieces of cultural relics and old handicrafts was all allocated to the cultural relics department at book price for preservation, and the large-scale export of cultural relics was ended.

After figuring out this situation some time ago, Zhang Nan sighed that he didn't catch up with the good time!

This is the largest cultural relics store in the Far East, not the largest commodity city in the Far East!

I don't know if Zhang Nan will be struck by lightning when he sighs like this!

What to do?

"Can't wholesale, then I'll buy nothing!"

As soon as the four of them entered this huge cultural relics store, it was a sea bigger than the Jin Provincial Cultural Relics Store!

Moreover, all kinds of handicrafts and antiques are placed in different types and floors, and if you slowly appreciate and select, you will not be able to finish reading them in a few days.

Some of the commodities here require foreign exchange coupons, and some can be bought with renminbi -- but the high-end ones basically need foreign exchange coupons.

When they saw the Lincoln car parked outside and being watched, the store staff knew that it was a big customer.

As soon as he explained his intentions, Zhang Nan made it clear that he was going to clear the rhythm, and even several leaders came inside!

If you don't have to wholesale, then all of them will be swept according to the marked price!

Can't export or leave the country?

I didn't plan to take it abroad!

Dozens of rooms walked past one by one, followed by a group of people -- in addition to Xiang Weirong, there were also several cultural relics workers from the cultural relics store behind them, holding notebooks in their hands and quickly making records.

The calligraphy, paintings, and porcelain here are absolutely authentic, but the prices are much more expensive than those in the night market. But that's it, a painting of Qi Baishi only costs thousands to thousands, what price do you say this is?

But there are also expensive ones: ivory and rhino horn products in the antiquities store, both old and new, are not cheap!

Zhang Nan took a look: In addition to those small bits and pieces made of leftovers, other ivory products start at the cheapest 600 US dollars!

Expensive, but the craftsmanship is superb!

The new ivory products are basically produced by Shanghai handicraft factories, state-owned time-honored brands!

A one-meter-old tooth carving, a master has to carve for a whole year!

Moreover, the cultural relics store also directly called the handicraft factory -- "Hurry up and send all the completed large ivory products to us as soon as possible!" Overseas Chinese are especially scanning goods here, and people are stupid and have a lot of money, so come quickly!"

Zhang Nan wrapped up all the ivory and rhino horn products in the store except for small bits and pieces! It was extremely cruel! The store was forced to immediately transfer the goods!

That Zhang Nan stopped by to buy ivory, why didn't he go directly to the Shanghai handicraft factory to buy it?

Because it is useless to go: ivory products sold to the outside world are sold at the same price in handicraft factories and cultural relics stores, and there is no such thing as "factory price" at all.

In the planned economy, the ex-factory price is settled between units in the system, and it has nothing to do with customers.

In addition to ivory, Zhang Nan looked at the labels and prices and ordered them one by one; as for calligraphy and paintings, he asked which paintings and calligraphy of famous painters were now in the store, and all of them were moved out of the warehouse.

The cultural relics dealers in Shanghai have a good reputation, anyway, the things sold are absolutely authentic, and they will not be shoddy, everything will be marked clearly: Zhang Nan doesn't have to look carefully at each piece, just take a look.

Moving the warehouse?!

People buy it at a retail price, so sell it! Just leave some foundation, lest the booth be empty tomorrow.

"Mr. Zhang, many of them haven't been appraised yet?" said a leader surnamed Yan at the cultural relics store.

"Manager Yan, then hurry up and estimate, I know that many of you professionals are doing this, and I only have time today. ”

This is called reversed "hunger marketing", and when Lao Tzu is gone, you can sell it slowly!

"But I said Comrade Yan, I plan to buy all of them with US dollars, there are not so many foreign exchange coupons, and you can complete the foreign exchange earning target, this price is not expensive to me. ”

Using US dollars directly would be a bit of a loss than using foreign exchange coupons, but even SC Johnson would not be able to operate all of a sudden, so that the cost of obtaining huge foreign exchange coupons would be reduced to a level similar to that of the black market exchange rate.

I didn't say anything, all the people who went to work and went on vacation were gathered, and even those who retired were mobilized.

For the cultural relics store, this will be a huge amount of foreign exchange, and if it is missed, the superior unit is estimated to jump on its feet!

More than 30 large boxes of porcelain from the official kilns of the middle and late Qing Dynasty, more than 20 boxes of ivory and rhino horn products, and more than 1,800 calligraphy and paintings of various sizes! Other miscellaneous items are not counted, and even two sets of furniture from huanghuali and red sandalwood were made by the way!

At this time, even the leaders of the Municipal Bureau of Culture and the museum were alarmed.

Coincidentally, the Shanghai Museum is still an acquaintance: the old Li who can't speak.

Returning overseas Chinese make a big purchase, this is the rhythm of opening a museum!

Moving is not so exaggerated!
