Chapter 43: The Honest Security Guard
After saying goodbye to Ji Gang's guy, Yang Fan returned home first, picked up the villain book and flipped through it.
This kind of book is only the size of a palm, and it is full of pictures, similar to a comic book, also called a comic book, or a doll book. Yang Fan remembers that when he was very young, he also had a copy, and he couldn't remember who donated it to the orphanage, but then he forgot when he lost it.
Doll books narrate stories and portray characters with continuous pictures, and this form has a wide range of themes and diverse contents, making it a popular reading material for all ages. With the changes of the times, comic strips have entered all areas of life, and comic strips in a broad sense can be expanded to scrolls painted by literati, murals in temples, folk flower paper New Year paintings, wood carvings and brick carvings in buildings.
Judging from what he learned, after the nineties of the twentieth century, the publication of comic strips gradually withdrew from the stage of history and faded out of the people's sight.
In the mid-to-late 90s, comic strips appeared in people's field of vision as collectibles, becoming the fifth category of popular collectibles after calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, stamps, and antiques. Comic strips are very collectible in terms of artistic value, historical value, and application value.
Therefore, Yang Fan won this doll book. He knew that this was a relatively rare book, and at that time there were very few copies and not many survives, so such things would be expensive.
This doll book called "Welcome**" seems to be the only doll book with Mao as the protagonist. It's a pity that it's not the original, otherwise it's quite expensive.
He seems to remember that in last year's China Guardian Autumn Auction "New Chinese Art" special session, the original 16 comic strips "Welcome**" created by Cheng Shifa were sold for 3.58 million yuan.
Yang Fan looked at it, and Leader Mao appeared a total of six times, and each time, his demeanor, posture, and angle were very different. Under the effect of the author's rendering technique, the folds on the white shirt and yellow trousers of Mao are extremely vivid.
Unfortunately, there is only one copy here, which should be around a few thousand yuan.
After reading it, Yang Fan picked up the bottle again, it was a colored porcelain in the late Qing Dynasty, and more than 100,000 should not be a problem.
Finally, there is the bronze mirror, he can be sure that the original owner of this mirror is a rich and noble person, as can be seen from the pattern cast on it, it is very gorgeous, dragon and phoenix lace.
Speaking of which, the bronze mirror, the structure of the pattern is distinctive, gorgeous and colorful, there are lifelike dragon and tiger unicorns, dancing phoenix red birds, vivid strange beasts, graceful flowers and plants, etc.; The handicraft is not only popular in China, but also travels far and wide, and is a good souvenir for tourists as a collection gift.
This mirror is not easy to value, and when he meets someone he likes, Yang Fan feels that more than 500,000 yuan should be willing to give up.
Put the treasures in the box where the clothes are placed, lock them, and then go out and go straight to the villa area that Zhou Wentao said. Not far from the entrance of the villa, there is a special sales office.
The security here is very good, with quite a few cameras on the fence and quite a few security guards walking around.
Yang Fan approached, and a security guard guarding the door became vigilant. Yang Fan really doesn't look like a person who lives here, nor does he look like a person who can afford to buy a villa. So, you can't come here for a walk, right?
"It's not open to outsiders. Seeing that Yang Fan was really about to step in, the security guard immediately reminded him and stopped in front.
"Joke, aren't you prohibiting outsiders from entering? How can outsiders buy a house? Aren't you running into your villa, what are you nervous about?" Yang Fan joked with a smile.
The sales office is generally separated from the interior, and strangers are prohibited from entering, so it is understandable, and the strangers who come here are all strangers, right?
It seems that this security guard looks down on him and thinks that he has no ability to buy.
"Hmm, you're selling the property?" the security guard wondered.
"It's not good to look at the building, you have to have the ability to buy to get in?" Yang Fan asked two questions in a row, and immediately stopped the security guard.
There is indeed no such rule here, and it was purely a personal act when the security guard stopped it just now, so it was a little unbearable for Yang Fan's problem.
He touched his head embarrassedly: "That's not it, it's okay to watch the building." ”
After all, people who come here may not necessarily buy it after seeing it, and the price of several million is enough to make many people look forward and backward, pick and choose.
He is not a person who looks down on others, to be precise, he is a gatekeeper and is not qualified to look down on others. However, I am afraid that this young man will walk in and be looked down upon by some sales ladies, and even reflect with the manager or something, accusing him of letting everyone in, then it will be troublesome.
"That's it, can I go in?" Yang Fan asked with a smile.
"Okay, ah, wait a minute, I know a salesperson, I'll go in and ask her to come out and take you in, don't make trouble, I'll be in trouble." The security guard quickly changed his tune.
In the final analysis, I still don't feel at ease with Yang Fan. Let an acquaintance bring it in to have a look, satisfy this person's viewing**, others will not say anything, and he will not be blamed.
"That's fine. Yang Fan said happily.
Since the security guard thought that he was here to fight soy sauce and to see and understand, he didn't refute it first. This person has a good heart, is quite honest, and can even be described as straightforward. At least it won't be like some people, who are directly expelled and scolded a few ugly words.
"Then you wait. ”
He immediately walked in, and at this time, there were not many customers inside, and some salespeople were idle. And the girl he knew was even more swatted by flies, a newcomer, and was easily squeezed out by the "old-timers" inside and snatched away the customers. Usually, that Xiaowei is a tea and water pourer, and she almost doesn't remember that she is still a salesperson.
That Xiaowei is a fellow villager with him, and she came out after graduating from high school. When I went home a few months ago, Xiaowei's family found him and asked him to help find a job in the city and take care of him, after all, girls are very uneasy when they are outside.
"Xiaowei, how about you bring me a friend to take a casual look recently?"
The security guard didn't dare to say that he didn't know him, so he didn't have to call a joke, and he was embarrassed to say it. So, just say it's friends, and that's right.
"Brother Ping, is he here to buy a house?" The delicate girl's eyes lit up, although she was not very beautiful, but under the modification of light makeup, she looked very pure.
That's right, as far as high school students, young women around eighteen years old, are very attractive.
The security guard named Brother Ping was slightly embarrassed: "Ahem! Just take a look at it, do me a favor!"
Hearing this, the girl was slightly disappointed. She has been here for almost half a year, and she gets a basic salary every month, always fantasizing about the day when good luck comes, and she will get tens of thousands of yuan, or even more than 100,000 dividends.
"Since it's Brother Ping, your friend, then okay!"
Soon 500 collections, thank you for your support! The call of the mountain village account is really extraordinary! Thank you.
