Chapter 541: Becoming a Legend
Old man Wu pulled other rags again, looking like it was indeed a year, but the quality was a little uneven. For example, vases and the like, brought by Wangjiazhuang, one out of ten is an official kiln, that is, a private kiln, and it is also a high-quality product, and now these, even in those days, must have been stalls.
"Identified?" Old man Wu asked.
"Identified, identified." The man embarrassedly took out a stack of notes, "2 large bowls of folded branches and lotus in the Qing Dynasty", "3 magpie vases in the Qing Dynasty", and the Republic of China.....
"It's all handwritten by someone at the antiquities shop." They didn't go to sell, they didn't open a regular **, and they were annoyed and wrote a few notes by hand. I still wonder what the hell are these people doing? But he found out a few days later, because there were too many people looking for him to write notes.
Old man Wu counted the things on the note, and it was okay, more than he expected, a total of more than 1,000 yuan, but he could only exchange more than 10 trees.
Looking at the man's expectant eyes, Old Man Wu took out the calligraphy and paintings he put in a box alone and looked at them, it was okay, it was the work of several famous painters in the Qing Dynasty, not the New Year's paintings that came out of the anonymous bad street to fool people. And a few books in the same box, there are also some years, and the handwriting is elegant and elegant, which is a bit interesting.
"I'll give you 100 yuan for this painting and this book." Old man Wu said. It is 10 times higher than the price of 10 yuan a copy in a cultural relics store.
The man couldn't believe it excitedly, and repeatedly confirmed that it was true, so he took the 100 trees that Old Man Wu had given them and went back to the village to collect ancient books.
The other onlookers were also boiling, it seems that the conditions that Old Man Wu said were not pitting them, and they could really change the tree and go back! Their requirements are not high, 100 trees, it's okay. 1 tree is 400 US dollars a year, more than 800 yuan, and 100 trees is 80,000 yuan! One or two acres of land can produce 80,000? It's not land, it's gold, right?
The remaining captains turned around and left, really, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, which village doesn't have a talented master!
In the next two days, people successively carried things to exchange for trees, more or less, hundreds, hundreds, and even thousands of trees could be exchanged at once when they encountered villages where high-ranking officials and nobles or talented masters who loved to read.
The first batch of large farms and orchards that replaced the saplings were out of business, and they immediately came over.
"We also sent calligraphy and paintings, right? That's all according to the estimate in the artifact shop, and you'll have to pay the difference! ”
"It's not your money, what to make up." Old man Wu said.
“... It's not ours, it's the state! You can't take advantage of the country! ”
This reason is relatively strong, and Old Man Wu was stuck for a while, so he hurriedly called Wu Guangming to come over and ask Feng Hua for instructions.
Feng Hua said that it didn't matter, since it was discovered, then it would be treated equally..... She specially subsidized calligraphy and painting, because calligraphy and painting will be the hardest hit area in the future, and she didn't care about it, plus a scare, it was basically burned.
Now you can collect a little more, it's a matter of a small sapling anyway. And it is useless for her to hold these saplings in her hands, she can neither export them for dollars by herself, nor can she sell them for yuan, and even if she takes them late, the effect is not as big as now, because the real "Fuji apples" are about to come out.
Old man Wu received a positive reply, happily took out the account book, and replenished the saplings according to the number of calligraphy and paintings on it.
Everyone didn't expect to achieve their goal so easily, and they were a little stunned for a while. But this old man, it's so refreshing, that's easy to do.
"Old Wu, I still want to order a batch of trees." One person said.
"Yes, yes, I'm going to order a batch too."
"I'm going to order a lot."
"I'm going to order a few batches!"
Everyone turned their heads and stared at the speaker: "Why do you order a large number of them?" You have a big head, huh? ”
"I'm big!" The man was right.
All...... The reason is still very strong. These people are all big farms, big orchards, and they all occupy good plots, and they are basically fertile and fertile fields on the outskirts of Beijing.
Dollars need to be earned, the dead tasks assigned to the above must be completed, the farm workers must eat, and so on. So now the land is being used, and not much land is poured out to grow fruit trees.
"Listen to that." One of them said: "It's useless for us to say how much we want here, we have to see if the higher authorities give it to us." "They are a state-run collective, they don't need to pay for themselves, and they don't count if they say it themselves.
One person said: "Our farm workers plan to ask for one tree for each family and plant it in their own homes, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
Hey? Everyone's eyes lit up, this idea is very good! Let's not talk about exporting and selling dollars, just talk about this apple, which is unique and delicious! They are still regretting that although they have planted hundreds of acres, they are all making wedding clothes for others, and they really can't eat a few.
Now with private money and planting in their own garden, this can be had! When the time comes, whether to sell it for money or eat it yourself, the operability will be greater. And 100 yuan for 1 tree, the wage workers on their farm are not unaffordable. It's just that I can't afford it, and now I can also exchange it for rags! Rags can still be sold at sky-high prices, where to find this good thing?
"Okay." Old man Wu said. He doesn't care where people plant, he doesn't care if he plants it on the kang, just give money.
When everyone got a positive answer, they all went back to get busy, scavenging the rags, and contacting the above.
The next day, the little leader came with Wu Zhan in person, followed by 10 trucks! We have worked hard to earn foreign exchange. The leader of the cultural relics store said that there is still a lot of inventory, so use it casually! It's good to use up all the inventory in the capital, and he can still adjust it from the local area when he runs out!
Cultural relics stores are national chains ~ have them in major cities.
Old man Wu hurriedly said that there were not so many saplings!
Feng Hua regrettably can't eat, if the cultural relics store is emptied at one time, what a good thing it is~~ She has to be written into history textbooks, and she is praised for virtue, this person has saved countless cultural heritages and artistic treasures.
Oh, no, it must be Old Man Wu who is written into the history books, and she is estimated to only exist in the wild history and become a legend.
"How many saplings do you have in your family?" The little leader looked at the greenhouse and asked, "Didn't you say that they were all sold that day?" ”
Wu Zhan said without changing his face: "It may be that my grandfather didn't make it clear, he just dug it up that day and sold it." Fortunately, everyone only chatted outside the greenhouse that day, and did not go in to check how much was planted in the greenhouse themselves.
