Han Chudong knew that the price of antiques in this era was generally very low, especially Chinese antiques.

But there is no clear concept of how low the value is, and I didn't specialize in these in my previous life, so I know where everything will be.

Zhang Daqian is still alive, and Li Keran and other famous painters who make him familiar are also alive.

There is not much money in my hometown, and there is not even a reform and opening up, where is there any demand for collecting art, since no one is willing to buy it, except for porcelain, the price of other objects will be very low.

This is an opportunity that Han Chudong feels is profitable.

Take the well-known beast head of the Old Summer Palace as an example, he remembers that in the 80s, it was traded for more than 1,000 US dollars each, and in 20 or 30 years, the price rose 12,000 times, and then it became more than 20,000 times.

I remember that there is also a piece of fine porcelain called "Yuanji blue glazed white dragon pattern plum vase", which was sold by a farmer at a price of 18 yuan, according to the exchange rate, it is only more than ten US dollars, if it is put out for auction, the value can rise millions of times in the future.

How can you find a more convenient way to make money?

Of course.

Han Chudong didn't plan to put all the funds on this, it was not necessary for the time being, and he didn't have the patience to wait until he got rich later.

Nowadays, it is still mainly to make money, sharpen knives and chop wood, and after having start-up capital, you can receive more high-quality and good objects in the future.

Today I just happened to meet, and my pocket is a little more generous, so I came in and had a look.

Again, that's the same sentence.

He couldn't tell the real thing at all, and the things in the room were in front of him, especially the ones on the shelves, which looked like the real thing.

Bottles and cans look at one by one, the price tag is written in the front, and it is also marked with Song, Ming, Qing and the like, the price ranges from dozens to thousands of dollars, the most expensive is a small Buddha statue, with glaze on the outside, it looks like a Liao Sancai Buddha statue seen in the museum, the price is 3,200 US dollars, and it is locked in a glass cabinet.

The price of these things is "high", and without finding an expert to help, Han Chudong didn't plan to buy it, but looked at the pile of calligraphy and paintings.

It's very rough preserved, the above volumes have fallen dust, and after asking for the boss's permission, open them one by one, the same price, twenty dollars a roll.

As long as he saw that there were many inscriptions and seals, and the things seemed to be old, he put them aside alone and prepared to buy them, thinking that they couldn't all be fakes, as long as there was a real volume, he would definitely earn it, and he would take it if he thought it was good.

Eight of the more than 40 volumes of calligraphy and painting were selected, and one of them was covered with seals and inscriptions, which were most like good things.

Pushing the price down to one hundred and fifty US dollars, when Han Chudong took out the money, the boss pointed to the bottles and cans on the shelves and asked, "Don't you want these porcelain? If you fancy something, I will sell it to you at a 10% discount, and all of it will be authentic." ”

"Forget those for the time being, let my grandfather see it for himself when the time comes, he knows more. ”

After paying the cash to pay the money, Han Chudong found a plastic bag to wrap up a few selected calligraphy and paintings, in fact, there was a large blue and white plate with the bottom of the "Ming Xuande Year", which made him very excited, and the price was only more than two hundred US dollars, but he felt that it was not good to take it back, and he did not have the good eye to distinguish the true from the fake, so he had to give up for the time being.

Thinking about waiting for time, find some knowledgeable experts to help you take a look, it's a big deal to spend a few more money, in exchange for a comfortable heart, who wants to hide a room of fake things.

————————

I went back to the hotel, went to the street again at seven o'clock in the evening, and found a bar to sit and have a few drinks.

There is no sexual encounter, but the watermelon head has that thought, but the pick-up method is a little rough, and in the end he just returned empty-handed.

The first day in Chicago was over.

Next.

I got up early in the morning, rushed to the venue with a suitcase, bought two sandwiches on the way, plus milk packaged in cartons, and arrived at the lakeside exhibition area when the security guard did not open the door, sat at the door and waited for a while.

In fact, it is to put a large box of things on the table, and by the way, hang up the poster prepared in advance, and hang it in front of the table.

Whether this trip is a profit or a loss, you can probably see some signs today.

Seeing that there were more and more exhibitors gathered at the door, Han Chudong dozed off vigorously, and last night the men and women upstairs made a fuss until the middle of the night, without the slightest intention of lowering his voice, and the noise made him sleep.

Encountering this kind of thing on the plane, it was also in the hotel, which made him a little angry.

The peers are busy with the things at hand, and now they are only waiting for the powerful wholesalers to enter the market.

Just like Han Chudong yesterday, they also walked around to learn about the next toy development trend.

At this moment, there was a white woman with a pearl necklace around her neck, who looked to be in her early thirties, with reddish-brown hair and wearing a white women's formal suit, standing in front of this small booth.

Eyes swept over the table.

There are not many things, but they are all relatively novel, and at this moment he picked up a clear plastic bottle and asked, "What kind of toy is this, and what company are you from?"

"Mango Toys, a small company that just started in Los Angeles. ”

Han Chudong said with a smile.

He had seen this woman standing at the Fisher Toy Company booth and directing people to work, thinking that it should be management or something.

Fisher-Price Toys Company is relatively strong, and the types of toys are many and miscellaneous, which is the kind of big enterprise that he used to want to catch up with.

It's just that I felt that I could do a good job later, and there was no need to cooperate with these peers, and I was stripped of some of my profits, so at this time, it was just a kind introduction, and there was no idea to attract the other party.

First, the yo-yo, made of aluminum alloy, was shown to be a yo-yo, and after playing a few tricks, it was withdrawn, and then the long strip-shaped plastic container was unscrewed, and the lid and the blistering tool below were gently waved, and a head-sized bubble appeared, which slowly cracked on the ground.

His actions have attracted the attention of many people.

Not far away, the old man who had a bad attitude yesterday and came to the exhibition with a magnet Rubik's cube saw that the people on his side were also attracted to it, and he immediately scolded with a straight face.

The effect seems to be quite good, but these are all market-tested gadgets.

At this moment, Han Chudong said: "I have applied for patents, such as this hand warmer doll, isn't it very cold in winter, you can put your hand in from the middle, which is cute and practical, and can also be used as a pillow and cushion." This is a hand-pushed propeller that I invented, as well as hand-rubbing and pulling, the height of the booth is a bit short, if you want to show it, it is best to go outside, it can fly about eight meters high. ”

When he spoke, he picked up a simple bamboo dragonfly and rubbed it with his hands, and suddenly spun and flew up, many Americans had never seen this kind of toy, and their eyes were amazed.

Zhou Nan, the watermelon head, played yo-yo by Han Chudong's side, often bringing goods out to sell, and some simple moves were already familiar with him.

More and more people gathered at Han Chudong's booth, and someone saw it at the door.

A toy salesman from New York looked through the glass door and wondered if there was an interesting toy and was going to check it out later.

Han Chudong noticed the movement outside, attached to the watermelon head ear and said a few words, this guy immediately took the hand-pulled bamboo dragonfly and the hand-pushed bamboo dragonfly and walked out, and there was a toy full of bubble water in his pocket.

Since so many people are interested, there is no need to wait for the opening, and you can get more attention by performing at the door.

I saw Zhou Nan, the head of the watermelon, and then he took the foaming tool, ran freely and happily outside after dipping it in bubble water, and there were many big bubbles behind him.

Many buyers immediately felt that this toy was very marketable, especially when they saw bamboo dragonflies, and they felt that children would like these toys, not only to sell to young children, but also young people to like more......
