Chapter 400: Origin (II)
Wang Yaoguang couldn't try it several times, and even if the medium-sized antique shops had the intention to buy bottles, they all offered very low prices, only a little higher than imitations. This price is unacceptable to the Wang family father and son. When Zhu Xing said that he wanted to enter a bottle to sell it in Pingzhou, the Wang family father and son were moved. It's not that they want to go to Pingzhou to share the money, but Pingzhou is a very representative place.
First of all, Ping Chau is a rich city, and where there is money, you can make money. This is a truth that children understand.
Then, Pingzhou is also a city with some cultural heritage, such as their Qingyun Palace, which is in the capital, is also somewhat famous, that is to say, Pingzhou has a group of people who like antiques, otherwise it can't support such a big street.
Finally, and most importantly, in the capital's antique circles, Pingzhou's Sidaihe Baoguangzhai is an antique shop with medium to lower strength, which is on the one hand economic strength, and more about the strength of receiving and releasing goods. And this kind of strength is actually dominant in Qingyun Palace, which is not small in scale, and even has a certain radiation effect on other neighboring cities!
So, they released a bottle, only offering 50,000 yuan, which was actually asking Zhu Xing to go to Pingzhou to explore the way!
If Zhu Xing really made money, it would mean that this way was feasible, and they really didn't have to stumble in the capital and the group of shopkeepers and sharp-eyed experts who had opened a hundred and eight tricks in their hearts.
There is only one in Binh Chau.
But there is not only one city like Pingzhou, and now with the development of the economy, the law of "prosperous collection, gold in troubled times" has begun to emerge again, antiques are becoming more and more valuable, and there are more and more rich people investing in antiques.
Not to mention, the real estate predators who appear in various cities like wholesale, there are not a few antique paintings and calligraphy in their homes or their offices, and they are still embarrassed to meet people?
In fact, the appearance of this bottle in Pingzhou really confirms the sentence "There are no thieves, and you can't attract foreign ghosts." ”
The bottle was brought to Pingzhou by Zhu Xing. But the bureau was not set up by him. To be honest, whether it is Zhu Xing or Wang Yaoguang, they don't have the strength to lay out this double hook game.
This time it was the old man who sold the bottle in the scam.
Speaking of this old man, he is also a poor man. He was originally a retired librarian at the Ping Chau Library. The wife of the family also died early, and after retirement, he was taken to the capital by his son to care for the elderly. The old man's son is a top student who graduated from Zhejiang University and majored in chemistry.
After graduating from college, this kid was admitted to graduate school, because after four years of study, he already knew very well that the employment of chemistry majors, cough cough! Being assigned to a high school as a teacher is a good job!
So, he began to prepare for graduate school in his junior year. According to the card of Zhejiang University, if you are admitted to a graduate school, you must at least be admitted to a school of this grade, such as Shangjiao, Fudan and Tsinghua University. But the boy saw that his father had been circling around books in the library all his life, and that he was only a small librarian when he retired, so he understood the reason why men were afraid of entering the wrong profession.
So, he was admitted to the graduate school of the National University of Petroleum, and this is the right time. The undergraduate is the top university in China, and the graduate student is the pro-son university of the oil industry, what else can I say! After graduation, he directly stayed in the headquarters of PetroChina as a technical cadre. Not to mention the salary is very high, there are also a lot of bonuses, and the house is divided into units!
This is not, when his father retires, he will take his father over, at this time, he is already married, the woman's family is a native of the capital, working in the Municipal Finance Bureau, and also graduated from a famous university, they live in a set of demolition compensation houses prepared by the woman, and the small building with one bedroom and one living room assigned to him by the unit is just for the father to live in for the elderly.
This old gentleman has worked in the library all his life, and of course he considers himself a reader. Since you are a scholar, when you go to the capital, you have to go to a cultured place. So after going to the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, and the Summer Palace, the old man went to Panjiayuan.
What a great place!
Looking at the antiques and the contents of the books he read in the library, this old gentleman seems to have opened the door to a new world, this place is good! In addition, I have heard too many stories about "picking up leaks", which makes the old man rejuvenate his second spring!
I have read the library and books all my life, but I didn't expect that the books on history and aesthetics that I read in my spare time actually brought me the opportunity to get rich!
So the old man began to use his life savings to frantically "pick up leaks" of his pension money.
But the old man didn't understand two things, the first thing, a book, a book, a thing is a thing, and a photo is a photo. The second thing is that Panjiayuan is not a library, nor a museum, but a river and lake formed over hundreds of years!
During that time, there was a legend in Panjiayuan that an old man from the south liked to chew words. As long as you make up a history of something, it is best to find the origin that can be found in the history of letters, and then the thing is not so outrageous, the old man will definitely come to "pick up the leak"
As a result, the old man made a bunch of "leaks", and the house where his son gave him a pension was basically full.
When his son finished a long business trip to the Shengli Oilfield and brought his daughter-in-law to see his father, he was stunned to see the "rivers and mountains" full of "rivers and mountains" that his father had laid for him.
His son doesn't have anything yet, but his daughter-in-law's family is a native of the capital, so it's too easy to find a reliable palm master.
The palm master was dumbfounded when he arrived at the old man's house, this is simply a fake, from a very high-end "unveiling", to a fakes that entry-level collectors can see, that is called a everything!
The only difference is that every fake antique can tell a story, which is inextricably linked to historical events, celebrities, and allusions.
The problem is that you're buying antiques, not stories!
Wait until the palm master has finished commenting on all the fakes in this room.
As soon as the old man's eyes rolled and he made a "hiccup", he fell straight down.
The son hurriedly sent the old man to the hospital. I stayed in the hospital for a month before returning home.
According to the doctor's words, this time the old man did not have an accident, and there were no sequelae, and it had nothing to do with medicine.
Now the son doesn't dare to let the old man stay in the capital, if the old man thinks about it one day and then goes to Panjiayuan or Liulichang, he will not be able to save it.
So the old man was sent back to Pingzhou by his son and daughter-in-law.
Isn't there also Qingyun Palace in Pingzhou?
I'm really not afraid of this, Pingzhou has Qingyun Palace, but the old man of Qingyun Palace has acquaintances! And that acquaintance is still very energetic, and he won't cheat people. If he is a cheater, the old man's money will not be left when he goes to Panjiayuan to pick up the leakage.
So who are the old man's acquaintances? It is the big boss of the collection of rhymes, Lu Zhang.
After the old man stayed at home honestly for a few days, he went to Jiyunhe to find the shopkeeper Lu, and he had to talk about his experience in the capital and his grievances with this old friend. At the same time, I regret it very much, why people have long said that their little skills are all read books, and they must not get started. Why didn't he listen to that?
The old man took the bus to Qingyun Palace, and slipped to Jiyunhe, he didn't know that the old Lu shopkeeper retired when he was crazy about picking up leaks in the capital, and now his eldest son Xiao Lu is the shopkeeper.
When this old man walked into the collection of rhymes, Xiao Lu's shopkeeper was meeting a guest, and the guest was an old acquaintance from the capital, called Zhu Xing. On the coffee table in front of the two, there is a Yongzheng Nian butterfly opera orchid plum vase.
