Chapter 168: The Antiques Business in the Mainland
Hi, Wang Zifan used to come often, but now it is not the bustling city in his memory, many places are full of the atmosphere of the Republic of China, standing on a high place you can see the whole city, there are absolutely no high-rise buildings to block the view, there are caterpillar-style buses running in the streets and alleys, especially the Bund Avenue, and the old sites of various foreign banks are still preserved.

After two days of shopping, Wang Zifan took a lot of photos, and the memory of the prosperous area one by one, of course, not for nostalgia, but to start first, and wait until the national policy is further opened, he will come back to copy the bottom, now although the reform and opening up, but the high-level is still in the hesitation period, a bit like feeling the stones across the river, conservative forces are still strong, large-scale land, it is easy to arouse the vigilance of conservatives.
On this day, I walked around Jing'an Temple.
Jing'an Temple is one of the famous temples in Shanghi, it is said to have been built in the Three Kingdoms period, but since Taizu took power, the Buddha also had to let him three points, so Jing'an Temple is becoming more and more chilling, first the abbot Master Song was liquidated, and then all the Buddha statues, ritual weapons were destroyed, the monks were forced to return to the world, and the temple was occupied.
The Jing'an Temple in the 21st century can be amazing, the shotgun is changed, and a Buddha statue of 15 tons of sterling silver casting is invited in, and there are entertainment and commercial centers such as Paramount Gate, Meilong Town, and Henglong around one after another, the Buddha Gate is quiet, and there is nothing left, the most outrageous thing is that the ticket price actually rose to 30 yuan, and the incense money is counted separately.
It was not easy to worship the Buddha in those days!
Wang Zifan went in to visit, and walked out with a gloomy face, and there were obvious traces of burning in the Daxiong Treasure Palace, which was simply an abandoned ancient temple.
"Brother Zifan!"
"Brother Zifan!"
"Wang Zifan, it's really you!"
Hearing the surprise call, Wang Zifan didn't care at first, or didn't react, in Hong Kong, they were all called Fan Tsai and Afan, and later his status was high, and his newly recognized subordinates called him Mr. Wang, Zifan seems to be called only by mainland friends!
When he turned around, he saw a young man dressed in knowledge looking at him in surprise.
"You are?"
"I'm from Pang!"
"Master Pang!" Wang Zifan blurted out, he was surprised, blinked, and some sporadic memories seemed to spring up in his mind, growing up in the courtyard together, and going up the mountains and going to the countryside together, and at the beginning, they also agreed to smuggle into the capitalist world together, but a few days before departure, Pang Ji learned that his girlfriend was pregnant and gave up.
Pang Jile said: "When did your kid come back?"
Wang Zifan said unfamiliarly: "Just take a look!"
Pang Ji quipped: "Look at your fine skin and tender meat, is it corrupted by capitalism?"
Wang Zifan smiled and asked, "Why are you on it?"
Pang Ji looked depressed, and said depressedly: "It's not for life, a few months after you leave, the above will allow you to go back to the city, Liu Yu is reluctant to go back because of her big belly, and when the child is born, the index is used up again, and after two years in the countryside, the child will play soy sauce, and then he is approved to return to the city, my parents are retired, and I can't arrange a job, so I will become a jobless vagrant, for the sake of the child, Liu Yu and I came to Shanghi!"
Wang Zifan sighed, the total number of young intellectuals who went to the mountains and went to the countryside reached more than 16 million, and one-tenth of the urban population came to the countryside, which is a rare large-scale migration from the city to the countryside in modern human history.
After 1979, the vast majority of educated youths returned to the cities one after another, and some of them got married in the countryside and "settled" and stayed in the countryside forever. Some people are afraid that they will not be allowed to return to the city by the government, so they do not register their marriages even if they live with others and have children.
"What do you do?"
"What kind of work, is to set up a stall, let's not talk about it, let's finally meet and find a place to rub together!"
Pang Ji rubbed his hands excitedly, pulled Wang Zifan into a nearby restaurant, shouted and ordered a few special dishes, ran to the kitchen in five minutes and urged three times, Wang Zifan smiled, in his memory, Pang Ji has always been gentle and elegant, belongs to the type of military division, and his temperament is a bit like actor Jin Dong.
After the dishes were served, Pang Ji poured two glasses of beer and said seriously: "Zifan, tell you something, don't be angry!"
"What's the matter?" Wang Zifan took two slices of beef in his mouth and looked at it with a smile.
Pang Ji said: "Yang Lili is married!"
Wang Zifan wondered, "Who is Yang Lili?"
Pang Ji scolded with a smile: "Okay, don't pretend in front of me, just don't be sad!"
Wang Zifan didn't take it seriously, drank a glass of beer and asked, "By the way, what business do you do?"
Pang Ji said: "It's nothing, just collect some antiques near the Old City God's Temple, and then sell them to earn the difference!"
Wang Zifan looked stunned, and suddenly slapped the table, how did he forget the antiques, the current antiques are equal to the price of cabbage, and the country does not pay attention to it, but in the 21st century, a casual piece of Qing Dynasty porcelain can only be photographed, as for the Yuan Dynasty porcelain, it is even more outrageous, hundreds of millions are less!
Pang Ji stopped eating and said, "What's wrong?"
Wang Zifan smiled: "It's nothing, I just think antiques are very interesting!"
"When did you become interested in antiques? I'm a small business, barely making ends meet!" Pang Ji shook his head and asked, "How are you in Hong Kong? If you are short of money, I still have three hundred here!"
Wang Zifan couldn't cry or laugh, and wanted his friends to know that he went to the Peninsula Hotel to park the car once, and the tips he gave were all 500, and he didn't jump up and scold him for being a loser.
"Okay, what I have now is money, you don't have to set up a stall, follow me to Hong Kong, I don't dare to guarantee anything else, the annual salary of one million is casual!"
"You just blow it hard, and you can earn a million a year! I will be satisfied if I can be a 10,000 yuan household in this life!" Pang Ji raised his glass, drank it all, and whispered: "Seriously, I know a person recently, who also buys and sells antiques, if you are interested in antiques, let's go to him together to partner in a vote, he has a deep way, and knows how to do it!
"What are you doing?" Wang Zifan thought to himself, this kid won't let me rob the tomb, just kidding, Lao Tzu is hundreds of thousands a minute, and he specially went to the tomb to find big zongzi to drink?
Pang Ji said: "Of course I went to the countryside to collect antiques! You forget, the countryside doesn't pay attention to this thing, dozens of porcelain pickled cucumbers, hundreds of copper coins thrown to children as toys, do you remember the Han Dynasty jade seal picked up by the kid surnamed Zhang, starting from 3,000! When you meet foreigners, more than 30,000!"
"Can you still pick up the jade seal?"
"Yes, I don't know if this kid is lucky or lucky, he picked up such a big leak and didn't earn a dime!"
"Is the jade seal still there?"
"I thought about it, I asked about it, and let the secretary of the special brigade be handed over to the state!"
"Oh!"
Wang Zifan felt a pity, he really hadn't seen this high-end thing like a jade seal, the emperor used it, and it must be very vigorous in the study, he shook his head secretly, and when he was full of food and drink, he stood up and said, "Boss, settle the bill!"
"I'm coming!" Pang Ji hurriedly grabbed Wang Zifan, and said, "Look down on me, I can still invite you for a meal!"
Wang Zifan opened his wallet with a smile, it was full of green tickets, and said confidently: "I saw it!"
The current Grandpa Mao is not red, but green, in fact, there are not many in the wallet, no more than six or seven thousand, but in 1981, this is definitely a huge amount of money.
Pang Ji swallowed his saliva, his eyes widened and said, "You kid won't be a counterfeit banknote, this is a big crime to kill your head!"
I'll go!
Wang Zifan almost flashed his waist, rolled his eyes and said: "What are your eyes, these are new banknotes, and the bank just took them!"
Pang Ji retracted his envious gaze and said with a smile: "You have really made a fortune!"
Wang Zifan went to the counter to settle the bill, and a meal was more than ten yuan, which was not cheap in this era.
"Let's go!"
"Where?"
"Donkey Zhang, this kid wants to sell his Shang Zhou Dading to foreigners, this is a treasure left by the ancestors, we have to buy it!"
Sweat!
Looking at Pang Ji's anxious face, Wang Zifan thought that something big had happened, it turned out to be a tripod, but it seems to be a bronze tripod in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, if it is true, it is a national treasure level, how much does this cost!
