Chapter 389: A Sign of Prosperity (4)

In the mid-80s, the entire Northeast was full of collecting or exchanging steel hammers, which was purely a folk act, at that time in the more developed areas of the south had begun to collect stamps and coins, but in the north where information was closed, people had not yet realized the value of steel hammers, so there were a large number of numismatists active in the Northeast, with various forms and excuses in exchange for cents.

At that time, there were two most common ways, one was to exchange pennies for coins, often selling some gadgets, on the condition that you had to exchange as many banknotes as you could with him first, such as five cents, you could buy one for three cents, or exchange one for one dollar and he would give you one.

The second is to play rings, at that time, some southerners often saw some southerners set up a small stove, clanging and beating, how many cents you give him, he will give you a "silver" ring, saying that there are several coins containing silver, he can purify it, ten coins for a "silver" ring, in fact, it is an alloy of lead, and the hand is rubbed everywhere black.

At that time, people's lives had stabilized, and they began to learn to dress themselves, perm their hair, wear floral clothes, and wear jewelry. There are a lot of people lining up to change rings every day, and there is an endless stream of people all day long, and business is very good.

However, most people are fresh, the first few days are quite bright, and after a few days, it will be black, and they will forget where to throw it, and it is not appropriate to change a few steel hammers.

Children also change a lot, wear rings, how tall and tall, and pull a few steel hammers from home, how cost-effective.

I don't know how many millionaires have been produced in this small business, and in terms of consciousness and thinking, the northeasterners are more than one Yangtze River worse than the southerners.

When the people of the Northeast reacted and wanted to go out to make money, the old appearance outside the Shanhaiguan Pass had been renewed, and the rich were gone everywhere, if the hierarchy was used to describe the people around the country at that time, the Northeast had just made a version 1.0 to get rich, and it was already 2.5 outside the Guan, and the coastal area had just risen to 4.5, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai 6.0, and then the first batch of people in the Northeast went out to get a big bag, and all the people who were fooled were limping back.

Then, the people of the Northeast became an underworld outside the Guan, why? After being coaxed into bad spirits, they did it, and they were rectified in this place, and they couldn't be recovered? If the whole result came out, how could they go back to see their hometown fathers?

This is really just a regional cultural difference, and most of the Guannai area is different from the gentleness, Northeast people prefer to go straight, what to say, angry first hit and then say, this is the biggest shortcoming of Northeast people, love to do it.

Drinking at a table, drinking and drinking, the fight started, and the phenomenon of sitting down and drinking after the fight is really a normal thing in the Northeast, not a story.

……

As the saying goes, gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times.

Since the beginning of the 80s, the domestic stamp market, the numismatic market has been on fire, with Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang as the center to the whole country, driving a large number of people to join in, and supporting an industrial chain, who can say that this is not a sign of prosperity?

China's antique market also began to sprout in the early 80s, and by the mid-80s, it has formed a very highly specialized gray cultural relics industry chain in several major cities across the country.

The reason why it is said to be gray is because most of the merchants and markets engaged in the trading of antique cultural relics in China are "wild" schools that do not have the qualifications for cultural relics trading, and since the 60s, those who have the qualifications for cultural relics trading have always been state-owned cultural relics stores.

The cultural relics store is not open for domestic guests, only for foreign guests and overseas Chinese, buy things to use foreign exchange rolls, the price is also very humane, a finely carved bone brooch two pieces of five, a Ming Dynasty famous calligraphy and painting of one hundred and twenty yuan, a Qing Kangxi jar of eighty-eight pieces, do not bargain.

If you buy something from a cultural relics store, you can go directly to the customs, and even the customs declaration is saved, which is a real one-stop service.

At that time, there were many people who raised money everywhere to exchange foreign exchange coupons and buy goods in cultural relics stores, but how could a few ordinary people have worked in a country, and the Japanese came to sweep the goods on trucks.

A decade of turmoil has seen the devastating destruction of a large number of antique artifacts, but from another point of view, it does bring benefits to those who love to collect.

Because of the Great Movement in addition to the four olds, a large number of cultural relics fell to the people, the protection of cultural relics was stopped for a time, and the price of cultural relics was depressed until 95 years.

How low were the prices of cultural relics in the decade from '81 to '95? Half of a trucker's entire income could support him to set up a private museum in 2000.

The typical representative here is Professor Ma of the Hundred Pulpits, who is interested in going to his own mother.

But the collection of antique cultural relics must belong to a niche culture, that the knowledge of people, the vision of luck and financial resources are too high, not the common people can mix with things, there is a jar and a few beads at home to feel that they have entered the collection of cultural people, that is really you think too much.

And in the 90s, the cultural relics market boomed, the counterfeiting industry began to flourish, and the products were more real than the real ones, our cultural traditions are very tolerant of this kind of people, what stealing books is not for stealing, what is the eye only blame for their clumsy eyes can not go back to the seller, isn't this?

Isn't it fraud that you sell it when you know it's fake? Why is there such a so-called rule? Guess who the maker is? Who is the beneficiary? In the end, it is only the outsider who pays.

Look at those tycoons, when they get rich, they start to look like dogs, and they always want to put on the appearance of cultural people, which house does not put some goods worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

What kind of leak to get rich overnight, what ancestral objects are worth tens of millions, I will ask you, except in the newspaper, who has ever seen the lottery?

As for the collection activities with the participation of the whole people, that is, stamps and coins.

Chinese stamps were used in the Qing Dynasty, and were issued by foreigners who controlled China's customs at that time.

Later, stamps were issued in various historical periods, and there were so many kinds of valuable ones, such as Republic of China tickets, border area tickets, and Cultural Revolution tickets, which were relatively precious and rare.

China really issued its own stamps after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and philately began in that period.

In 1955, the China Philatelic Corporation was established under the Ministry of Posts, which opened the curtain on the philatelic market, and philately was also the only collection activity led by the state to initiate the participation of the whole people.

Although the current coin collection market is in fact dominated by the state, this is the rise of the private sector with the participation of the state, and only later did it become anti-customer-oriented, which cannot be counted.
