Chapter 113: The Uncrowned King
Hong Yanwu dared to open his mouth so wide and cast a wide net to receive goods with the nature of gambling, in addition to having the market of a special era to support the bottom, there are two other points of reliance that ordinary people will never reach.
One is that he has a lot of cash in his hand that he can't spend, and more and more cash.
In these years, who dares to say that 1.8 million yuan will be thrown out to copy the goods? He will do it, and it will continue, and there will be a minimum of 100,000 yuan per month.
The second is that it is rare that he still has a place.
Don't look at this wedding banquet, the old shop of more than 400 square meters of "Yanmei Building" is almost full of things, but there is still the old house of the Hong family.
Those few sets of cleaned up yards are a natural museum in themselves, what can't be put down?
Therefore, everything should be done by paying attention to the time, place, and people.
If their own conditions cannot be met, no matter how smart a person is, he can only watch the opportunity slip away from him, and it is a pity in vain.
But on the other hand, the conditions are met, and it is difficult to think of it. Everything fell into place.
No, it's like a big pie falling from the sky, Hong Yanwu is sitting at home, and people can find his door by themselves for good things that they can't ask for.
One day in mid-May, Wang Hanping suddenly came to the door and asked Hong Yanwu how much money he had.
Hong Yanwu thought that the old carpenter was short of money. Although he felt abrupt, he didn't mind, so he said, "How much money do you lack, just say anything, what is polite about our relationship, I will make up as much as you want." ”
He didn't expect that the old carpenter was not short of money at all, but for his sake.
This incident originated a few days ago, when Liu Guiyou, the younger brother of the old carpenter, came to see him at home.
This Master Liu is a fifth-level carpenter. Since the public-private partnership, he has been working at the Kyoto Hardwood Furniture Factory, which was converted from a merger of several woodsmith stores.
As a result, as soon as he and Wang Hanping met and drank, they couldn't help but complain about the failures up and down the factory.
In the early days of the "Dare to Love Movement", many revolutionary organizations piled up a large number of precious rosewood and rosewood furniture from the Ming and Qing dynasties in the warehouses of the "Hardwood Furniture Factory".
This was a very common situation at that time, just like many copied calligraphy and paintings sent to the "541 Banknote Printing Factory" in the white paper mill as pulp raw materials. All are "revolutionary measures" to support production and "waste utilization".
Then, after the end of the "movement", at the request of the superiors, except for a small amount of return and substitution to some democrats, all these things became ownerless objects, and no one could be found to return them.
At first, it was fine, because the society didn't recognize such things, and the factory didn't take it seriously. But later, with the reform and opening up, it was not possible for educated youths to return to the city.
Whether it is the increase in foreigners or the advent of marriage, these things have begun to have economic value.
Especially with the recent emergence of the "Xiao Market", some people who collect used goods have begun to collude with the workers in the factory to secretly sell these things for profit. As a result, the contents of the warehouse were rapidly reduced.
When the factory leaders found out, the small pieces of furniture were almost tossed by the people below. And since then, it has been repeatedly banned, and the warehouse is like a wall full of holes, and it can't be managed.
In this way, as soon as the factory leaders held a meeting, they reached a consensus that it was better for the factory to sell the workers who were guilty of stealing and colluding with each other. Regardless of the price, it can always create some economic benefits for the public.
So up and down completely set off a competition to sell family funds. The factory also encouraged workers to look for buyers. Then this will inevitably make some masters who really love woodware feel uncomfortable.
In fact, not to mention Liu Guiyou, even Wang Hanping was angry when he heard it, and after drinking, he even followed Liu Guiyou to the factory warehouse to take a look.
I didn't expect it to be okay not to look at it, but it's better to see it. There are many red sandalwood and huanghuali boutiques, which are only seen in Wang Hanping's life, and many of them are qualified to be placed in the Forbidden City.
These things have to be dispersed, and they are not entrusted to people, and it is a pity that they are really bad things.
Just like that, Wang Hanping remembered that Hong Yanwu was coming. Don't forget, the old carpenter had just attended the wedding of the Hong family, and he knew that the Hong family was rich, so he came to him with the intention that the fat water would not flow into the fields of outsiders.
Hong Yanwu was of course happy when he found out. Gearing up and thanking him, he made an appointment to take the money with Wang Hanping to buy furniture the next day.
But that night he was very excited to prepare the cash. He calmed down again. Because he suddenly remembered some situations in his previous life.
He remembers that it seems that after the investment in hardwood furniture became hot, whether others mentioned the history of the "red sandalwood king" who "ate Tang monk meat", or talked about the private furniture collection of Hong Kong director Li Hanxiang, they were all inseparable from a state-owned hardwood furniture factory.
If you can't get it right, it's the one that Wang Hanping introduced.
But at the same time, the public has been criticizing and questioning whether their purchase behavior is legally defensible.
Because some people insist that those things that have lost their owners should be considered public property, and that hardwood furniture factories have no power to deal with them. Later, there were even rumors that in order to sell these furniture, the leaders of the hardwood furniture factory were held accountable and brought to justice.
In other words, no matter how good something is, it is also a hot potato. This is essentially the same as the last time I made the golden silk nanmu. If you don't get it right, you will have big trouble in the future.
He is no better than "King Rosewood" and Director Li, they not only have a Hong Kong identity, but also have people to take care of them. Don't be confused and plunge down, a neglect, that is endless trouble. Even if you get something, you can't say it's yours.
In this way, Hong Yanwu was much more cautious.
Although he followed Wang Hanping the next day, although he couldn't help but be shocked by the "big treasure" in front of him, he didn't make him dizzy. When paying for the goods, he always restrained himself and did not dare to go too far.
In the end, I spent about 5,000 yuan, so I bought 100 small pieces. He hired a couple of tricycles himself and pulled them away. He also asked the factory to sign and seal the entries he had copied. The purpose is to prevent confusion in the future.
For this reason, Wang Hanping was of course very puzzled, and Liu Guiyou also felt quite a pity.
According to their thoughts, it is natural to buy the "red sandalwood dragon bed full of carved dragons" first. Why don't you want that "iron pear dragon-shaped leg big book case"?
This kind of iron pear wood material can only be from before the Ming Dynasty, and may even be from the Yuan Dynasty. Even if you buy one of them, it's better than a bunch of small pieces. Why are you confused?
And Hong Yanwu's explanation is that his economic ability is still limited, and he came by force after the marriage, and he no longer has enough money. Buying these furniture back is mainly to fill the empty house of the family. Get one or two big ones, that's not a good deal.
Even so, Wang Hanping, who didn't know what to say, could only nod helplessly.
The director of the factory laughed and said, "Understand, understand." In fact, you can buy so much, it's not easy anymore. I kind of figured it out, selling these things can't rely on our internal digestion, and we have to count on overseas Chinese. ”
And hearing this, Liu Guiyou couldn't help but sigh, and the unspeakable depression was clearly discerning.
After that, don't really say it, in fact, let the factory director talk about it.
Within two days, a "Hong Kong customer" took the initiative to find the door of the furniture factory. He was accompanied by a beautiful, equally well-dressed woman, who was responsible for translating the meaning of "Hong Kong guest" into Mandarin.
Compared with the people in China, it is really different, it is definitely a lot of pride, and the best things to buy.
The foreign exchange coupons in their hands were as if they had been conjured, and in the end, they spent nearly 300,000 yuan, and almost all the large items in the warehouse were bought out.
The only request they had was for the factory to send someone to help transport the furniture to a glass factory warehouse in the suburbs.
Although people at that time did not have a sense of service, in the face of such a God of Wealth, the factory director was still happy to help.
So he gave a "special subsidy" of ten yuan per person for meals plus two boxes of cigarettes, and asked several 130 cars in the factory to be dispatched together, and dozens of workers acted as porters.
In the end, it took a day to finally deliver hundreds of pieces of furniture to the designated place according to the requirements of the "Hong Kong passengers".
It's just that everything that happened next is not known to the people in the furniture factory, and it is also full of mystery.
In fact, since the arrival of the furniture, tricycles and vans have been coming here. Like ants moving, it took them about two months to pull the objects elsewhere in batches.
As for what the hell is going on? One more case will be introduced to know the truth, and there is no need to say anything in detail.
That was the day after the transaction with the hardwood furniture factory was completed, the "little daughter-in-law" and his family got an "extra reward" of 5,000 yuan from Hong Yanwu.
When the two of them took the money, they said that they really didn't expect there to be so many big things in the factory. The money he brought was not enough, and there were still 100 big gadgets left to buy, so he asked Hong Yanwu if he wanted to go again?
As a result, Hong Yanwu refused, saying that he was too late, he was afraid that he would be too greedy for anything, and it was better not to take the risk if he could not take it.
And so that ended the matter.
Of course, this is only a partial definition of subjectivity. Some of the subsequent effects of this will continue to diverge.
For example, when Hong Kong director Li Hanxiang was fortunate enough to visit this furniture factory that day, he did not spend 120,000 yuan to "buy it" like the previous history, and completely bought out the factory with only 60,000 yuan.
Although this also amazed the accompanying "Teacher Ma", the impact was much worse than the original history.
For another example, the original "King of Rosewood" has become unworthy of this name in the future.
Not only because she failed to get a piece of the pie from the "Kyoto Hardwood Furniture Factory", the standard of the collection dropped a lot.
And in essence, the capital already has a real uncrowned king.
After this incident, in the red sandalwood furniture, I am afraid that there is no one else who can be compared with our Hong Sanye collection, except for the national collection.
What's even more interesting is that even at the same time, even Hong Yanwu's "thrift buying team" is silently playing a role in changing the details of history.
For example, in the memories of a well-known porcelain player in Beijing in the future, the most annoying thing for him at the end of the year was not the visit of his father's old friend Li Hanxiang, who bought 48 pieces of precious porcelain at the bottom of the box with only 10,000 yuan of foreign exchange coupons.
What made him even more sad and regretful was that history turned into Li Hanxiang who only bought 18 pieces of foreign exchange coupons with 10,000 yuan at that time. And afterwards, he was almost killed by the number of people in his family.
Because where did the other thirty go? He sold them one after another for a few dollars to the hawkers who came and went in the alleys to collect old goods.
As a result, these porcelains entered the door of the Hong family. There are even a few things that are deeply liked by Hong Lucheng and his wife, and they are placed on the hall house case to enjoy every day.
So when this porcelain player did a show in the future, he regretted it on the TV screen more than once, and at the same time scolded those peddlers for being black-hearted.
He also thought that if he could keep those porcelain, Li Hanxiang would be able to pay several times more price.
