Chapter 199: Collecting Renminbi
"What kind of collection do you do now?" Wu Hua asked.
"Antiques, jewelry, and the like, basically all of them are made." Zhou Houming said.
"What's the operating model?" Wu Hua wanted to help Zhou Houming, but he had to understand his situation first.
He had actually communicated with Zhou Houming on the phone, and knew that Zhou Houming had opened a workshop in Shenzhen, specializing in collecting.
"My dad gave me 300,000 yuan, and then I was left to fend for myself." Zhou Houming had a relaxed attitude, and then said: "I now mainly collect some small objects, and then sell them through some channels to make some difference, and then use that money to collect other collections."
According to the memory of Wu Hua's previous life, the collection industry will develop rapidly in the next few years, and the collection value will be on the rise after 2000.
After the 90s, not only antique cultural relics became collectors' collections, but even the RMB and stamps issued by the state also set off a collection boom, Wu Hua vaguely remembers that in the 90s, the third set of RMB can still be purchased in large quantities, and the value is not high. Wu Hua heard from a friend who likes to collect that the 60 version of 2 yuan was worth as much as 700 yuan in 2009, and after 2013, the price was close to thousands, and this version of the yuan can now be purchased for only a few yuan.
Collecting is definitely a small and broad industry, but if you want to make money and make enough money, you must fight a protracted war. Zhou Houming's current operation mode is only suitable for small returns, and it is very good to make some difference. If you want to make a lot of money, you have to plan for the long term.
"Have you ever considered collecting a collection of state-issued collections?" Wu Hua asked casually, he wanted to see Zhou Houming's reaction, his sensitivity to the collection industry, and whether he was suitable for this industry.
Zhou Houming looked at Wu Hua meaningfully, and then turned his head to concentrate on driving, but his heart was no longer calm, and he asked with a little excitement: "Master, are you also optimistic about stamps?"
Zhou Houming looked at Wu Hua a little nervously, thinking that he and Wu Hua's thoughts coincided, and he was even more excited that he had chosen the right direction.
Wu Hua was a little surprised, he didn't expect Zhou Houming to also pay attention to stamps, he was curious how Zhou Houming would think of collecting stamps, so he asked: "How did you think of collecting stamps?"
Zhou Houming didn't hide it, and while he was excited, he parked the car on the side of the road first, and said excitedly with Wu Hua: "Master, I didn't expect us to coincide, haha, I'm so happy."
"Tell me what you think." Wu Hua asked without changing his face, and he didn't show too much excitement because of this.
"I think so, now that science and technology are developed, mobile phones and telephones have everything, communication or something, it is estimated that it will become a thing of the past, but the things issued by the state, it has a certain historical significance and collection value, even if the price cannot be high in the future, it is not bad to collect it yourself." Zhou Houming said his thoughts.
His original intention is like this, even if the renminbi does not appreciate, but he has historical commemorative value, meaningful, he has collection value.
After listening to Zhou Houming's explanation, Wu Hua pondered for a while, but measured Zhou Houming's words in his heart, although his thinking is not very suitable for being a businessman, it is undeniable that his vision is long-term. Scientific and technological innovation will definitely eliminate some of the old models, and as soon as the communication tools come out, long-distance communication will definitely be eliminated, just like the ancient flying pigeon biography, isn't it the past tense that was replaced by postal communication? Therefore, Zhou Houming's sense of smell for this piece is still very good.
Wu Hua didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "The state-owned ones are not only stamps, but also RMB."
Speaking of this, Zhou Houming is a little melancholy, the country has now issued four sets of RMB, in addition to the fourth set of RMB is being issued and the third set of RMB is still in use, the second and first sets of RMB are worth thousands of dollars, he also thought about collecting RMB, but he is now limited in funds, and it is not good to reach out to his family again, so no matter how good the idea is, it can only be stranded.
"I've also considered RMB, but now the second set of RMB subscription price is 1,000, and my money is basically invested in it, where can I get so much money to buy." Zhou Houming sighed.
A set of RMB costs 1,000, and there is no collection point just to buy a few sets, and now the money is basically spent in the workshop, and the balance on hand is not much.
Wu Hua understands Zhou Houming's difficulties, but he is not ready to let Zhou Houming take this risk alone, he came to Quzhou this time, in addition to seeing the development of the garment factory, he is also ready to join Zhou Houming's collection industry.
"I can take a stake." Wu Hua said with a smile: "As far as I know, the current collection value of the third set of RMB is about three yuan, we can change the mode to operate your workshop, as long as you do what I say, to ensure that you cooperate with me and make no losses."
Zhou Houming's eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted excitedly: "Master, do you mean it really?"
"When did I lie to you?" Wu Hua asked rhetorically.
Zhou Houming looked at Wu Hua in disbelief, afraid that Wu Hua would regret it, and hurriedly said, "What you said, then I will count it on you, and I can't regret it." “
Zhou Houming is really happy, if Wu Hua can become a shareholder, with the financial pillar and Wu Hua's full support, what can he worry about when the time comes?
"Don't worry, this industry definitely has a future." Wu Hua patted Zhou Houming's shoulder.
At this time, Zhou Houming's mobile phone rang at the right time.
"My dad." Zhou Houming picked up the phone, and Zhou Changde's chatter came from the other side.
"I know, I know, I'll be there soon, Dad, don't talk about it, is it possible that I will still make a mistake?" Zhou Houming said complainingly.
"Okay, it's coming soon, you wait at home." After hanging up the phone, Zhou Houmy shook his head and said, "The old man is really getting more and more nagging, and I am afraid that I will take the wrong route when I come out to pick you up."
Wu Hua chuckled, although he knew that Zhou Changde was making a big fuss, but this was also a manifestation of his father's concern for his son, Zhou Houming was in the blessing and did not know the blessing, so he comforted: "Your father cares about you, you, you only come back once in half a year, don't be picky, your father is not easy."
"I know, I know, you're about to become my second father." Zhou Houming muttered and started the engine, but Wu Hua laughed and said nothing, this kid has learned to complain about people.
Zhou Changde had already prepared a table of meals and waited for Wu Hua and Zhou Houming, Wu Hua was stuck in traffic on the road, Zhou Houming deliberately stayed on the road for a while when he received someone, no wonder Zhou Changde called to ask.
Although Zhou Changde is several rounds older than Wu Hua, he has never regarded Wu Hua as a junior, seeing Wu Hua at this moment, it is more like an old friend who has been reunited for a long time, the two hugged and formed a group, and they were still immersed in the joy of reunion for a long time.
"I haven't seen you for half a year, and I'm a lot more handsome." Zhou Changde learned the words of young people to praise people, and joked happily.
"Brother Zhou is also heroic, like the sky." Wu Hua said with a smile.
"I'm a year older, but you're young and in your prime." Zhou Changde patted Wu Hua's shoulder, "Come, sit." “
Wu Hua was not polite and sat down directly by the sofa. And Zhou Houming on the side, seeing that his father was better to Wu Hua than his own son, suddenly felt surprised, and pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Alas, I really doubt now that I am the son picked up by the Zhou family."
Seeing that Zhou Changde was stunned, Zhou Houming said again: "Dad, do you think you should take some time to test your DNA or something, if I am not the son of the Zhou family, I will be left to fend for myself."
"Bastard boy, clean talk." Only then did Zhou Changde understand the meaning of Zhou Houming's words.
"It's good to have a DNA test, and by the way, find out where the genes are wrong." As soon as Wu Hua said this, Zhou Changde and Zhou Houming looked at him in surprise, Wu Hua didn't explain, and said directly: "Brother Zhou, you are so wise, why did you give birth to such a stupid son."
"You are really my good master, you won't be happy if you don't run me for a day, right?" Zhou Houming was not happy, although he was not as smart as he was, but the master couldn't give him face so much.
"It's called telling the truth, be smart, don't embarrass me." Wu Hua laughed and said, "Do you think that everyone cares if I have nothing to do?" If it weren't for the fact that you were my apprentice, I wouldn't have bothered to care about you. “
"You have to get it, you can do whatever the master says." Zhou Houming wasn't really angry, this time he saw Wu Hua more seriously, he couldn't hold it back, and hurriedly shouted: "Master, quick, let's go eat, the dishes are cold."
No, before the buttocks were hot, Wu Hua was pushed into the dining room by Zhou Houming.
After eating, Zhou Changde and Wu Hua chatted about some things about the garment factory, talking about the development plan of the garment factory next year, Wu Hua actually had a bottom in his heart, but he still needed to know more, after all, based on Zhou Changde's report on the phone, he didn't dare to finalize the specific plan, so he still had to go to the factory to see the specific situation.
Speaking of the development of the garment factory this year, Wu Hua also has a definition in his heart, he remembers the advent of the "double-sided jacket" of the seven wolves in 1995, which has caused a clothing consumption boom in Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places.
In this life, Wu Hua seized the opportunity, so he must be born before the seven wolves release this costume, so as to win the title of "King of Jackets".
Find the first opportunity, stabilize the first opportunity, recuperate, and prepare for the future.
"Brother Zhou, I will live in Quzhou for a few days, and I will tell you about the specific development later," Wu Hua stood up, "I am going to go to the factory now, and I will plan again when I come back." “
Zhou Changde also stood up, nodded and said, "It's okay, let Hou Ming carry you over."
Sitting in the car, Zhou Houming took the initiative to pull up the topic, and said to Wu Hua while driving: "Master, I really admire you more and more, all walks of life can be organized, and they are all doing well."
