The rate of return on investing in antiques is relatively low, which is really not Lin Yi's hypocrisy. Two market experts, Xiao Sima and Zhen Yingjun, said in unison: "Yuan Qinghua and Chenghua Doucai, only real high-end cultural games, the increase can outperform the market." ”

The name of the 'Asian Four Little Tigers' was promoted by Lin Yi and released to the world in advance. Of course, they know their data.

Throughout the 70s, the economy grew eight or nine times. As long as you manage carefully, you can survive the oil crisis safely, with an average annual return of 25%. Among these emerging economies, Warren Buffett's yield is really inconspicuous!

On the side of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, what was mainly marketed to Lin Yi was the 'wholesale of handicrafts' business. Since the market stock is high and there is no royal gimmick, don't expect its scarcity to automatically pull the price up irrationally.

It happened that there was a piece of porcelain, Lin Yi saw it in the treasure appreciation show, the owner estimated it at 5 million, and the guests were only willing to bid 50,000 yuan. The price of the same antique, the price quoted by the antiquities store, is now 150 yuan, which is equivalent to about 100 US dollars.

With an increase of 333 times in 40 years and an annual return of 15.5%, Lin Yi's investment portfolio is definitely at the bottom! If you can't manipulate the market and buy antiques of the same grade, the opportunity cost is obviously high.

In this era, almost no one in China understands the market, but the 'salesman' of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation is definitely not among them: "Only in terms of sales, high and low matching, can we have a way to persuade the leaders to approve this sky-high transaction." ”

Lin Yi understood the subtext in it almost in seconds - if you don't buy a large number of ordinary cultural relics, you won't have a chance to buy precious items at all. In order to show the true colors of a patriotic businessman, he almost didn't think about it, and affirmed this bundle.

About half a month later, with the approval of the State Council, the Administration of Cultural Relics issued the "Trial Measures for the Administration of Licensed Exports" - cultural relics prohibited from export can be appropriately opened with the approval of the state.

Seeing this document, Senior Brother Jin said with a smile: "Although the multi-head negotiation is troublesome, it seems that it is not without benefits. ”

Next year's foreign exchange reserves will be negative 1 billion, which will overwhelm the government. So with strong intervention, Lin Yi spent $1 billion to buy millions of antiques. However, according to the current term, most of them belong to the category of 'old crafts'.

Looking at the many treasures, Xiao Sima's eyes were enthusiastic and heartbeat, and he was a little excited: "In the video game industry, Lin Sheng has become the first person in the world. This has just stepped into the antique industry, and it is going to shake the entire Chinese cultural circle!"

With an average of a thousand dollars per piece, such a price is certainly unacceptable, so this time a lot of stones were pulled away. And in the next few years, Tian Huang, Shoushan, Chicken Blood, Hetian, several precious jade, Lin Yi have placed orders.

The contract has just been concluded, and Zhen Yingjun's second uncle said: "The Ministry of Culture is drafting the "Notice on Strengthening the Protection of Historical Relics", requiring that this transaction be completed, and it will not be taken as an example in the future. ”

Lin Yi smiled and teased: "It's a notice, not a regulation, and the binding force doesn't seem to be strong?"

The second uncle of the Zhen family rarely smiled, and he always had an old-fashioned expression: "One, two, three, these graded cultural relics are all precious cultural relics, and they are prohibited from leaving the country in principle." The most important article, the prohibition of leaving the country, was adjusted from the 60th year of Qianlong to 1911. ”

"This adjustment is really big enough, it seems that the cultural department is very dissatisfied!"

Xiao Sima's words made Lin Yi immediately fall into deep thought. Compared with the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Railways, the Ministry of Culture is not a powerful department, and now the funds are pitiful. However, there will definitely be no shortage of opportunities to deal with it in the future.

Lin Yi immediately proposed: "Director Zheng, I have an idea, you can help me convey it." In the three cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, I want to build a museum. I will not take out the cultural relics that are scarce in the country. ”

This is actually not very easy to do, except for the four new special zones, so far, other cities can only be tourism, investment and business has not yet opened, the capital Coca-Cola, at present, only rumors.

The Ministry of Culture agreed, and this time they made efforts to help Lin Yi get a special approval: "The museum, this is a special building, and it is no longer among the investments to build factories." ”

The big boss reciprocated the favor by buying some Dunhuang cultural relics in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and then donating them to the Cultural Relics Administration. You come and I go down, and the friendship between the two sides can be regarded as having a certain foundation.

Professor Sima smiled: "Millions of antiques, even if a thousand people are mobilized, each person must identify a thousand pieces." I thought that the Spring Festival this year and next year would be spent here. Antiques are not stones, they can be loaded into trucks and transported away. ”

Zhen Yingjun said with emotion: "Fortunately, the cultural relics store has been handed over and over again, and there is a national reputation as a guarantee, so you don't have to worry about fakes." I need to invite several experts to do the appraisal at home, which is really a lot of money!"

patted his nephew on the head, and Second Uncle Zhen feigned anger and said: "Ancestral skills, after so many years of hard study, can't our work be exchanged for a bite to eat?"

Zhen Yingjun's family, the experience is legendary enough. His ancestors were born as court painters and have been working in the Forbidden City since the Republic of China. During the Anti-Japanese War, the eldest and third accompanied his father to escort the national treasure south into Sichuan. Second Uncle Zhen stayed to guard the Forbidden City, but he didn't expect to be separated for decades.

This experience can be used to make a movie, Lin Yi thought wildly, and at the same time issued an invitation: "Second Uncle Zhen, even if the antiques are counted and put into storage, the workload is astronomical." Could you please come and help me as the general manager of the museum? ”

went to his brother's house to find a place to live, Second Uncle Zhen is not that character. He is willing to be able to support the family business with both hands, but he gestured to the side: "Then, Professor Sima?"

The old professor touched his gray hair and said reassuring words: "I was originally retired, but I lived a safe and stable life." As a result, Mr. Lin's TV station insisted on making me a big star, and I was so busy that I hit the back of my head all day long. ”

Lin Yi saluted a cup of tea: "The Zhen family's craftsmanship is ancestral, and there must be a lot of insiders in the industry." I hope you can start the relationship and dig more hard hands. As long as I have the ability, I am definitely not afraid to spend money. ”

Second Uncle Zhen nodded again and again: "No one can be proficient in gold, stone, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, appraisal and restoration, and it does require a lot of manpower." ”

However, after the invitation was sent, the progress did not go well: "Those old friends have a lot of concerns. One is afraid of policy changes, and the other is afraid of changes in the proprietor!"

Regardless of the southeast wind or the northwest wind, even if Lin Yiming knew about it, he couldn't open his mouth to vouch for it. However, on his own side, he can make a promise: "Every specially appointed expert can bring a child with him." You can not only earn a salary, but also pass on your skills. ”

The Shekou Electronic City plan was also taken out by him to confirm that his economic strength is sustainable, and at the same time he revealed: "I can allocate some of the recruitment quotas over there." ”

After 17 million educated youths poured into the city, tens of millions of unemployed young people have been achieved. Without family planning, families with many children have to wait for rice to be put in the pot every day. Everyone's salary is 18 yuan, and Lin Yi's move is directly hit on the seven inches!
