Chapter 112: TOEFL
Yuntai took the opportunity to admonish his nephew, which can be described as well-intentioned. But he didn't expect Hong Yanwu to have his own reasoning.
"Uncle. What you say is for my good. But let me tell you, I'm not planning to drill deep in this business. Because I am not a man of grace, as you just said. I like these things because they're too cheap and relatively safe now. ”
"It's still the same sentence, gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, what I bought is the appreciation space for them from decline to prosperity, and what I bought is the old things that even the fakes are imitated by the Republic of China. I know that there is a lot of water in this industry, so when these things are expensive, people today are starting to learn to fake. Then I'll just sell it and not buy it. ”
Seeing Yoon-tae's stunned expression. Hong Yanwu smiled again.
"Uncle, you probably think I'm a little unproductive. Because I was afraid of the depth of the water, I didn't go into the water if I didn't learn to swim. You may also think I'm a bit of a philistine, buying antiques to sell them one day. But I am not only self-aware, but also for the sake of 'rational allocation of resources'. ”
"First of all, my ambition is not here, my personal plan in the future is to find an opportunity to resume the Hong family's business. I am not calm in temperament, and I will never focus on a certain industry. And the culture in the antiques is so vast that whoever wants to get into it has to spend a lifetime on it. I can't do that. ”
Secondly, the cultural value of antiques is not only its elegance, but also its preciousness and interest. However, the price of antiques is not necessarily defined according to its cultural value, taking calligraphy and painting as an example, some painters have a high artistic level but a low price, and some have a low artistic level but a high price. It is greatly influenced by fame, age and survival. Cultural values and economic values can be divided. ”
"So personally, collecting antiques is purely a means of condensing wealth and preserving it. I care more about its value for money. It will also be considered to sell for profit when the market is in a downturn, hoarding goods, and when the market is high. ”
"To put it bluntly, I think antiques have a price, no matter how much culture they contain. Because no matter how good a thing is, it is only a dead thing, and if I sell an old piece of porcelain, I will not hesitate to sell it in exchange for the technology to re-fire this porcelain. ”
"Besides, no matter how good things are, they are used by people, and if one day I really have a problem with money, I can't do something as stupid as Scrooge starving with gold coins. Don't you see how bleak Zhang Boju's evening scene is, a saint like him is not my role model. ”
"But none of this is to say that I don't respect culture. Although I don't want to delve into it, I want the children of the Hong family to love our traditional culture. It is even more important for more Chinese people to learn from it. So I feel like I can do at least two. ”
"First, when the price is not in place and there is no shortage of money, I will not consider selling these things. Second, even if it changes hands, I won't sell it overseas, and I won't hide it forever. I will do my best to preserve these works of art. And when the conditions are right, I will try my best to find some public exhibition opportunities so that more people can see my collection. That's what I think about these things......"
After Hong Yanwu finished speaking, Yuntai couldn't help but be silent. After a long time, he said lightly, "Uncle can't teach you." I originally wanted to say more, people don't take money so seriously, in order to become a climate. But on the contrary, you touched the bypass, and used the economic way to say the meaning of not liking things and not being sad about yourself. How can you say that? You are 'steel-mouthed' enough, and your eloquence is better than mine. It's just easier said than done, and even if you think so, you have to be able to do it. ”
Indeed, although Yuntai can't find fault with Hong Yanwu's statement, it is still a little suspicious. He was afraid that this nephew was just singing high-profile rhetoric. But he didn't expect that after going back, Hong Yanwu quickly proved everything with practical actions.
Dare to love these things on this day, not only did you really find Mi Fu's words from the scroll, but also a Shen Zhou's "One Branch", a Zheng Banqiao's "Ink Bamboo", and a Qianlong imperial pen "Three Benefits of the Year".
But the most precious thing is that from those porcelain, a white porcelain bowl with the word "Shufu" was found.
After Yuntai and Wang Yunlin's brothers and sisters discussed together, starting from the characteristics of the bowl as a small foot, a thick tire, a plain glaze that is transparent, and a blue and white color, I thought of Cao Zhao's "Ancient Essentials" in the Ming Dynasty Cao Zhao's "Ancient Rao Vessel" article, "The Yuan Dynasty burns small foot prints, and the one with the word "Pivotal Mansion is high." "One sentence.
In the end, it was determined that this should be the fixed firing vessel made by Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, who set up the Fuliang Porcelain Bureau in Jingdezhen and made it for the "Privy Council".
You must know that the Yuan Dynasty is only a hundred years old, so the number of firing is extremely limited, and there are even fewer inscriptions.
Similar bowls, although the descendants have been fired, but the style has been changed, the glaze is not moist, so this has a number of Yuan Dynasty "Shufu porcelain", it has become a masterpiece. It is a genuine national treasure.
For these few things, Yuntai can't put it down. I even changed my plan for this reason, wanting to stay one more day and take a good look at it.
didn't expect Hong Yanwu to be surprisingly generous. On the spot, he was going to give all these things to Yuntai, saying that they were all a family anyway, and the meat was rotten in the pot. If the uncle likes it, just take it, as long as the nephew has it, there is no other word.
For this reason, Yuntai was greatly impressed, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised. He didn't expect Hong Yanwu to really have no lies, and he did what he said. In such a comparison, on the contrary, he himself was fascinated by things, and he was a little inferior.
On the other hand, how could he, who was an uncle, take advantage of his nephew so much? So in the end, he just took it for fun, and he would not take it for himself.
In fact, Yuntai still doesn't know a little, Hong Yanwu's generosity is not for no reason. Just because of the matter of going to "Xiao City", this kid has already had a bolder idea.
He thinks that he has to collect things from big families. It is better to take the initiative to go to "Xiao City". Taking advantage of the fact that no one recognizes these things now, and the industrial and commercial policies have been liberalized, why not start eating a lot of money earlier?
So after sending away his uncle's family, after looking for it one night, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan called the people of "Three Jumpers" and "Kitchen Knife" to discuss the plan.
After reaching a consensus, Hong Yanwu quickly reduced the six theaters in his hand to four.
In the end, the "Lianhuahe Movie Theater" in charge of "Kitchen Knife" and the "Guanganmen Cinema" in charge of "Three Jumpers" were transferred to Nancheng Tuozi "Little Sour Jujube" at a total friendship price of 2,000 yuan.
Since then, the brothers of the two theaters under his command have gone to Xicheng District and Dongcheng District to "go to work".
At the beginning of every day, these people pedaled bicycles in key areas such as Xidan, Xisi, Dongdan, Dongsi, Gulou, and Shichahai.
In front of the car, a sign of "high-priced recycling of calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, and furniture" was hung to collect these old objects before liberation. It is equivalent to the "drummer" of the new generation.
As for their income, it skyrocketed.
Because the conditions given to them by Hong Yanwu are based on the guaranteed price given by the "Xiao Market" price. The difference in the middle is all theirs.
Like two scrolls and five paintings. There are two grades of porcelain, two small pieces, four pieces in the middle, and six pieces of large pieces. One small piece, two medium pieces, and three large pieces. Classical furniture is the same value as the new furniture sold on the market.
If these things are flawed, broken, and broken in half. But whether it's true or not, as long as it is delivered, it will be given in cash. No matter how lazy you are, you have to get a few hundred yuan a month at least. The middle price difference of the diligent point can exceed 1,000.
In addition, if the owner wants to sell more money and wants to negotiate the price, he can also find Hong Yanwu to negotiate alone.
However, Hong Yanwu had to work for Wang Yunlin to go out for identification. In the end, according to the transaction situation, the commission was given to La Qianer.
All in all, although the rules set by Hong Yanwu are not impeccable, after a long time, there will definitely be people who will take advantage of all kinds of loopholes to think more. But the risk in the middle is indeed overwhelmed by the particularity of the times.
Even if he collects fakes, he will definitely not be able to accompany them. So in this case, countless scattered folk gadgets poured into Hong Yanwu's bag at an astonishing speed, like gurgling water.
At the beginning, Hong Yanwu also deliberately counted the approximate probabilities.
He found that the things he collected had been identified by his mother, and the proportion of authenticity and falsehood was probably maintained in the range of 60% true and 40% false. And among a hundred objects, it is very likely that one or two overlooked treasures will be found. That's worth it.
Needless to say, this is all a blessing in troubled times. Don't think about it, otherwise it will inevitably mean that it will be a bit difficult to make a fortune.
