The cultural relics store is not a store that only sells cultural relics, but a cultural relics institution established by the state, which was once managed by Xinhua Bookstore in the 60s, and later became independent, and set up branches of cultural relics stores all over the country, and the acquisition of cultural relics and the organization of exports have become the main functions of cultural relics stores in various places.

At that time, "cultural relics are waste, and the exchange of old and new, the export of cultural relics for foreign exchange, and the support of national construction" was the mainstream ideology and public opinion in the cultural relics circle, which also led to the loss of a large number of cultural relics overseas.

From the present point of view, this concept is naturally very wrong, but at that time, many people could not eat enough, and the country was difficult to self-sufficiency in steel, so what was the value of pursuing the protection of cultural relics?

After the reform and opening up, people's concept of cultural relics has not changed much immediately, in the eyes of many people, cultural relics are scrap companies picked up, it is said that the Beijing Cultural Relics Bureau also held a exhibition, the exhibition of incense burners, ancient coins and even copper tripods are selected from the waste by the following cultural relics units, and they are all authentic antiques!

In 1983, the state introduced the "policy of returning personal cultural relics", when many young people were notified to get back their parents' collections, but they did not know what the use of these "rags" was, many people sold the "rags" at the door of the Cultural Relics Bureau, and a piece of genuine Qianlong jade ink at that time was only sold for 5 yuan, and after ten years, the price will be between 100,000 and 200,000 yuan.

At the same time, foreign businessmen also noticed this piece of profit, the purchase price is amazingly low, an official kiln bowl is only 10 yuan, a painting of Qi Baishi is 250 yuan, and even more black-hearted overseas Chinese, with all kinds of colorful plastic bags to the countryside to exchange antiques, these "zero value" cultural relics are shipped abroad in containers.

This phenomenon was not alleviated until the 90s, not because the law was perfect, but because a small batch of antiques at the auction in Beijing was speculated by overseas businessmen for 3 million yuan, which was more than the total number of cultural relics stores in the country, which made the relevant departments realize the value of antiques, and then formed the relevant laws.

At present, apart from the acquisition of cultural relics, in terms of external sales, cultural relics shops on the mainland, like friendship shops, only sell to foreign guests, and only accept foreign exchange coupons, not renminbi.

Xu Zhi and others' car just stopped, it attracted a lot of people's attention, any person who has a car in this era, more shocking than the Rolls-Royce in the 21st century, just say that the current Shanghai brand car, the value of a car can be worth 5 houses in Shanghai, and the price of imported cars is simply priceless, and those who can afford to drive are basically overseas businessmen.

After getting out of the car, Xu Zhi and the others saw at a glance that there was a red spacious tent on the right outside the gate, the tent was not sealed, but ajar, and there were several young people hanging outside.

Xu Zhi asked Wu Peng, "Do you know what's going on?"

Wu Peng said with a smile: "In addition to selling cultural relics, this cultural relics store will also be open to the private sector to purchase business, which has attracted a lot of people to come, but too many people take it casually from home, just want to run over to try their luck, or bet on the appraiser to look away."

There are too many people coming, and the things sent are all true and false, so the cultural relics store has set the rules, anyone who wants to come to the appraisal, must buy a ticket first, I heard that the ticket price is not low, so many people are bluffed, and some people are more hesitant to gamble!"

"How can you solve your worries, the only way to get rich is to get rich!" Xu Zhi smiled and said, the price of antiques purchased by cultural relics stores is indeed not high, but some good antiques can still be worth a few hundred yuan, and in the current era when the salary is only a few dozen, it is also a huge amount of money.

In the 80s, in fact, there are still a lot of antiques in the people, it is said that there is a collector who bought a rag for 5 yuan, and the result is Wang Xizhi's calligraphy treasure "Peace Post", which was directly photographed for 300 million in later generations.

"Let's go in!" As soon as Xu Zhi and the others were about to go in, a person came out of the door of the store and said to Xu Zhi and the others: "Several, please go inside!"

"Are you the manager of this store?" asked Xu Zhixiao.

"So to speak, but we call it the store manager here, and my surname is Zhao. The visitor said with a smile that as the store manager, he didn't need to come out to do all kinds of business in person, but he just saw an overseas limousine on the second floor, and he knew that a big customer might come, so he hurried down to greet him.

Xu Zhidao: "My surname is Xu, let's just take a casual look, and Manager Zhao doesn't need to accompany him personally." ”

Store Manager Zhao said with a smile: "Mr. Xu is polite, since he came to us, naturally he can't go back empty-handed, in fact, our cultural relics store is divided into an outer room and an inner hall."

Mr. Xu can follow me to the inner hall to have a look, and I guarantee that there are items that you are satisfied with. ”

"There's still this kind of operation, so let's go in and have a look. Xu Zhi said with a smile.

"Then this way, please!" Store Manager Zhao pointed the direction and took Xu Zhi and a few people to the inner room, although he didn't know the price of luxury cars outside, but Store Manager Zhao was also a person in the physique, and there were many people who bought antiques in the past two years, although many foreign businessmen were rich, but not many had cars in the mainland.

Those who dare to buy imported cars in the mainland are either so rich that they don't care about a car, or they are businessmen who really want to invest in the mainland, no matter which one they are, they will naturally not be reluctant to buy some cheap antiques.

The cultural relics store is divided into three floors, among which the most mysterious inner room is called by Store Manager Zhao is in a room on the second floor, I saw Store Manager Zhao take out the key from his waist, open a lock larger than a person's hand, turn his head and say: "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, there are a lot of calligraphy and painting works in this inner room, we can't bring any drinks in." ”

"It should. Xu Zhi nodded, handed the Sprite in his hand to Ah Bin and said, "You guys just stay outside!"

"Okay, Xu Sheng!" Ah Bin took Xu Zhi and Wu Peng's drinks, took two steps back and stood on the opposite side of the door.

After entering the inner room, Store Manager Zhao immediately introduced: "Mr. Xu, this is the dishes used by the court during the Ming Dynasty;

This is the handwritten calligraphy and painting of the Song Dynasty calligrapher Huang Tingjian;

Mr. Xu, don't look at this bench as old, it was built by the carpenter emperor of the Ming Dynasty himself, and it has a high historical value;

............！”

Manager Zhao introduced them one by one, trying very hard to arouse the customer's desire to buy.

"What are these prices?" Xu Zhi asked with a smile.

Store Manager Zhao said with a smile: "I don't know which one Mr. Xu values?
