Chapter 282 Comic Strip
"Aren't you afraid that there are fakes in these things?" asked the old man Ma, who didn't make a sound just now.
"Hehe, I'm naturally afraid of fakes, but since the things here can attract the three old men, I believe that even if there are fakes, it won't be too much, and the loss of one or two pieces is really nothing compared to the harvest?"
Liu Dong's untraceable compliments made the three old men feel great in their hearts, and the smiles on their faces were a few more, and Liu Dong's eyes softened a lot.
"Xiaodong, since you have bought all these antiques, how do you transport them away?"
"This time I came to the capital with an elder, and now I am temporarily staying with my elder, so these things will be put in my elder's place for the time being, and then transported back to Quancheng in a few days. ”
After listening to Liu Dong's words, Old Man Wen nodded, "However, you always need a car to transport things, and these things are also valuable items, so you naturally have to be extra careful in the middle." Xiaodong, if you don't worry, I'll help you call a car, and when the time comes, I'll pack these antiques and transport them back to you together!"
"That's to thank you Elder Wen, I was still worried about how to move so many things back just now?
"Okay, polite words are exempt, I took advantage of that red mountain jade!"
……
Subsequently. Old Man Wen made a phone call. In less than five minutes, a white medium-sized van was parked outside the door. Then three or four people jumped from above. Then they moved the cardboard boxes of different sizes, filled with scraps of paper.
Then the three old men wanted to volunteer to help Liu Dong pack the boxes, but Liu Dong was afraid of an accident and hurriedly refused. Subsequently, they left contact information for each other, and the weather was hot, so Liu Dong let the three old men leave.
With Liu Dong supervising, the packing process is very fast. It took the four of them less than half an hour to load more than 60 antiques into the van.
But at this time, he can't leave yet, so he has to talk to the boss Zhao who went out to collect the money, otherwise he will call the police when he can't find the antiques in the future, which will cause trouble for Liu Dong.
After moving the things and making the driver wait for a while, another silver-gray Jinbei van turned in on the corner of the street not far away, and after stopping at the gate of the courtyard, Mu Gang and the middle-aged man before jumped out of the car one after another.
"Xiaodong. It's all done!"
After listening to Mu Gang's words, Liu Dong nodded. "Brother Mu, thank you for your hard work!"
"Hehe, it's okay! It's this guy, he kept rambling on the road just now, it's really annoying!" As he spoke, Mu Gang glared at the middle-aged man fiercely. The fierce appearance made the middle-aged man shrink his neck in fear.
Stretched out his hand and patted Mu Gang's arm, signaling him to be calm, Liu Dong took out the voucher written by the four brothers and sisters from his trouser pocket and put it in front of the middle-aged man, "Take a look!"
The middle-aged man reached out and took the credentials for some reason, and after a minute, his eyes turned red, and he said angrily: "These bastards, those things were left to me by the old man, and these things that were said at the beginning belong to ......me!"
Before the middle-aged man planned to tear up the voucher, Liu Dong quickly took the things back.
"I don't care about the disputes between you, but now these things belong to me, I have evidence, and I have spent money!"
After a pause, looking at the unwilling look on the middle-aged man's face, Liu Dong smiled, "If you want, I can also let you make a sum of money!"
"Make money?" The middle-aged man was stunned, everything had been bought by Liu Dongquan, what else could make money.
Looking at his appearance, Liu Dong smiled, "You come with me!" After instructing Mu Gang to look at Cheshan's things outside, Liu Dong walked back to the courtyard with the middle-aged man and walked straight to the side room on the left.
There are two elm boxes on the left side of the entrance door of the side room, which are the wooden boxes that were basically kept for clothes and quilts when rural people got married before.
The two boxes are one meter and two long, sixty wide and sixty high, and the whole is painted black, and the boxes are not locked. Of course, Liu Dong didn't want these two ordinary boxes, but the things in these two boxes.
"I want to buy the contents of these two boxes!"
After listening to Liu Dong's words, the middle-aged man opened a wooden box on it with a puzzled face, and then wrapped them in kraft paper one by one, and then glued them together with wide tape, which looked like textbooks wrapped together in elementary school. Of course, the area is much smaller.
Two of the packages in the box had been opened, revealing that the villain book had been randomly thrown into the box. Of course, the person who opened the package was the middle-aged man in front of him.
When my father didn't retire before, it was the Beijing People's Printing House that painted this, so middle-aged people didn't read villain books less when they were young, so after my father died, when I packed up two boxes, I saw that they were all common villain books when I was a child, and I only knew that it was a hobby of my father before, and I didn't think it was valuable, so I threw these two boxes in this debris pile.
"You want to buy these villain books?" the middle-aged man asked incredulously. In his eyes, these things are all things that children see, how can Liu Dong still like this with a big money.
Of course, this also has to do with the fact that he is not a collector, otherwise, these two boxes of treasures would not be dusted here.
"Not bad!" Liu Dong nodded. The reason why I stayed in the end was for the sake of these two boxes of comic books.
Comic strips are also known as comic strips, comic strips, villain books, small books, doll books, etc. Comic strips are an ancient Han Chinese traditional art that eventually took shape after the popularization of printing in the Song Dynasty. Telling stories and portraying characters in successive pictures is a form of popular reading that is suitable for all ages, with a wide range of themes and diverse contents.
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.
However, since the 90s of the last century, the comic strip scenery is no longer green, and it is becoming more and more "cultural relics". It has become the fifth category of popular collectibles after calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, stamps, and antiques. In 1999, at an auction held by Wu and Han, a set of four-volume comic strips published in the 60s of the last century, "Great Changes in the Mountains and Villages", soared from the original price of 0.94 yuan to 4,900 yuan, and the value appreciated more than 5,000 times in 40 years.
In the future, in the 2008 comic book collection auction, the comic book "The Biography of Bukechi" with the theme of national stories was sold for 9,680 yuan, and at the fourth comic book auction of Shanghai-Hai Guopai, the auction rate of nearly 1,000 comic books of 560 kinds was as high as 97%, of which the first edition of the first edition of the Shanghai World Book Company in June 1927 was sold for 23,000 yuan, and a set of Cheng Shifa's "Welcome to Mao - Chairman" 12 hardcover copies was sold for 12,000 yuan.
Compared with the comic book publications, which have thousands of print runs, the original comic book manuscript, which is the original record of the artist's creation, has a unique collection attribute and is even more rare.
In 2004, at the 47th Auction of Rongbao in Beijing, the original manuscript of Dai Dunbang's 16 painted comic strips "Forcing Liangshan" was sold for 220,000 yuan; in 2005, at the third auction of the four seasons of China-Guojiade, the original comic strip of Cheng Shifa's 40-page album of Chinese painting in color and ink created in 1957 was sold for 11 million yuan; in the 2006 Autumn Auction of Beijing-Jinghuachen, Shen Yaoyi's original comic strip of 926 Long March epic comic strips in 5 episodes created in 1989 was sold for 11 million yuan; "The Red Ribbon of the Earth" was sold for 15.4 million yuan, setting a record for the auction of original comic strips in China.
And just now, after Liu Dongtong Guò relics Yuanguang saw the different shades of white aura on these comic books, he decided to buy them. However, at that time, there were many people, and Liu Dong was afraid of an accident in the middle, so he stayed until the end.
The value of these two large boxes of comic books is much more valuable than the dozens of antiques just now.
Seeing that Liu Dong liked this, the middle-aged man didn't think that these comic books were worth much, and in the spirit of making a bargain, he asked for 50,000 yuan as soon as he opened his mouth. Liu Dong naturally couldn't let him get his wish, and after talking about the price, he bought these two boxes of priceless comic books for 10,000 yuan.
Subsequently, Liu Dong beckoned the middle-aged man to help, and the two of them moved two boxes of comic books to the car that Mu Gang had found.
After the matter was busy, Liu Dong got into the van, told the driver the address of the master, and after driving for nearly an hour, he came to the door of Li Laoxiao's courtyard.
took out the key to open the courtyard door, and it took half an hour to move the things to the left wing room where Liu Dong lived. Then let Mu Gang spend five hundred yuan and give it to the driver and a few other people who helped.
Then, after Liu Dong closed the door, he looked at the cardboard boxes piled up in his bedroom, and couldn't help but show a satisfied smile on his face.
"Save the good stuff for the end, take a look at these comic books first!"
Then, Liu Dong put aside the other boxes containing antiques on the two wooden boxes, and then opened one of them, which happened to be the one that had been opened in the Zhao family's courtyard before.
"Xiaodong, isn't this the villain book we read when we were children? What are you buying for two or three cents?" After seeing the contents of the box, Mu Gang couldn't help frowning and said.
"Hehe, Brother Mu, you underestimate these villain books, any one of them costs about 100 yuan! And it's the cheapest among them!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"Really?" said that, Mu Gang looked puzzled, and took out a copy of the two bags he opened, and on the cover was "Water Margin", this kind of villain book, he also read a lot when he was a child, of course, now I don't know where to throw it!
"Forget it, I'm not interested in this kind of thing!" After looking at it for a few seconds, Mu Gang shook his head and put the villain book in his hand back into the box. (To be continued......)
