Chapter 329: Isn't It Simple? (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass)

Not a moment in time.

Manager Zhu brought all kinds of stamps.

Ji Cheng took a closer look, the country's mountains and rivers are red, a big red and a small red two versions, four sets of blue army post quadripartite couplet, well, to be precise, there are only two blue army post quadripartite couplet, and two are purple army post and yellow army post quadripartite couplet, as for the red print is three, and these three colors are a little different, after the introduction of Zhu flocking, Ji Cheng only knew that these three are red prints of red, vermilion and crimson respectively.

There was also a large stack of stamps that were picked up by a young man at another blog company.

In addition to more than a dozen rare single stamps on the market, such as Tiananmen Shine, Mei Lanfang's stage art, the 25th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, etc., the lower version is full of 80 monkey stamps.

Ji Cheng glanced at it slightly, the eighty-zero version of the monkey ticket was about ten editions.

As soon as these stamps were taken out, Zhu Flocking couldn't help but admire: "All of them are rare!" ”

Director Wu smiled and said: "Some stamps are indeed quite rare, such as the national mountains and rivers are red, blue army mail and the like, even if we have a unit of this nature, we have only just acquired these." Speaking of this, he paused, and looked sideways at Ji Cheng, who was staring at the stamps, "Mr. Ji, are you satisfied with these stamps?" ”

Of course, Ji Cheng was satisfied, and said, "It's really good." As he spoke, he asked, "How much do these stamps cost?" ”

Professor Zhu Ya smiled and said, "Changjian, you talk to Mr. Ji about the price." ”

"Okay, sister." Manager Zhu responded, then looked at Ji Cheng and said: "The price of a large piece of red and a small piece of red just told you, two editions of each for a total of 8.8 million, ten versions of monkey tickets are cheaper for you, together with 450,000 yuan, in addition, the Blue Army Post, Red Stamp and Tiananmen Square are not finished stamps, some single stamps are of high value, some of them are of low value, so Mr. Ji, I will charge you 400,000 for these scattered stamps, you are not too expensive at this price, right?" ”

Ji Cheng immediately said: "It's not expensive, I'll go back and finish all the things I want to buy before settling them together, right?" ”

"Okay, no rush." Curator Wu took over and said.

Ji Cheng was excited, although those single stamps together to 400,000 seems to be a bit high, in fact, according to his understanding of the history of stamp auctions, the asking price of 400,000 is really not expensive, for example, the first time the Blue Army Post was auctioned in 1994, when the transaction price reached a sky-high price of 800,000 yuan, now although it is 1989, but the Blue Army Post has become famous in the stamp collection circle, the Quartet is worth 200,000 is normal, so to speak, Manager Zhu asked for 400,000 yuan, basically all the value of the Blue Army Post, The rest of the red prints, Tiananmen Square shines, etc., are almost half sold and half given.

Why is it so generous?

Ji Cheng didn't have to think about it to know that the next curator Wu might have to ask for himself in addition to the rooster-shaped Gao Binghong, he didn't know what the specifics were, but there was a good chance that it had something to do with Bowen Company.

After all, in addition to grants and social donations, the museum's income sources basically depend on the contribution of its tertiary production companies.

For example, the current Bowen company is similar to a cultural relics store, but in the modern world, it is engaged in a diversified range of business operations, such as selling food, catering services, accommodation services, retail cigarettes, organizing cultural and artistic exchange activities, selling jewelry, etc.

Anyway, as long as the industrial policy of the country and the place where the museum is located allows, it will basically be operated.

Ji Cheng understood that he understood what the idea of Director Wu and Manager Zhu and the others was, but he didn't know how big the appetite of Director Wu and the others was, but since he had paid so many good things, he would not have a small appetite.

"Mr. Ji, let's take a look at something else?" Martial Arts Pavilion Chief said.

Ji Cheng nodded, "Okay." ”

Curator Wu asked, "In addition to being interested in stamps and porcelain, what else do you like?" ”

Ji Cheng is not only interested in stamps and porcelain, the reason why he likes these two things is that taking them back to modern society will not attract any suspicion, to put it simply, as long as it is not calligraphy and painting, which is an antique that will crash in modern society, he is basically interested in buying it.

"Do you have any good coins here?" Ji Cheng asked.

Director Wu thought about it carefully, "There are a lot of good coins, but some of them are not recommended for you because of the country's regulations prohibiting private transactions, I recommend some coins that are allowed by the law." ”

Ji Cheng hurriedly said: "Okay, thank you." ”

"Follow me." Curator Wu took the lead and walked in.

Ji Cheng, Zhi Youcai and Zhu Flocking followed behind.

Come to a small room inside.

Here, as outside, there are many glass display cases, but the things are different.

Coins!

Densely packed with all!

Ji Cheng's eyes were a little spent.

Before he had time to take a closer look, Zhu Zhirong suddenly lost his voice and exclaimed: "My God! Is this box a Qianlong imperial blessing gold coin of the Qing Dynasty? ”

As he spoke, he took two steps to a separate glass display case, his face full of horror!

What?

Qianlong imperial blessing gold coins?

Ji Cheng was shocked when he heard this, he hurriedly followed, looked down at the display case, and saw that there were three boxes of golden round coins inside, he counted them, each box was six, and the three boxes were of the same style.

But the writing on these six coins is different.

Ji Cheng was stunned for a moment, as far as he knew, there were a set of twelve Qianlong Imperial Blessing Gold Coins, why were there only six in each of the three boxes here?

Suddenly, Manager Zhu's introduction came from the side, "I wish the teacher a good eye, and I found these priceless coins at a glance. As we all know, the Qianlong Emperor sat on the prosperous mountains and rivers, was born optimistic, enjoyed happiness, collected skilled craftsmen, and did his best to create a lot of luxury and rare goods, and this set of coins is also a typical representative of the aesthetic preferences of the Qianlong Emperor. ”

Zhu flocking said in amazement and regret: "Isn't this set of coins a total of twelve? Why are there only six here? ”

"Hehe, you don't know about this." Professor Zhu Ya took over and said, "You look at the box carefully. ”

"Box?" Ji Cheng looked over suspiciously.

Not to mention, this box is indeed very gorgeous, in addition to being made of silver, the whole body is decorated with dark eight immortal auspicious images, the side is decorated with moire floating withered twined branches honeysuckle, and the inner surface is chiseled with moire, uniform and fine, complex and luxurious.

I wish flocking is also watching.

Professor Zhu Ya continued, "Look at the two layers of entwined flowers on the bottom. ”

Oh!

It turned out to be two floors!

Ji Cheng and Zhu flocking suddenly realized.

Manager Zhu also took the opportunity to walk over and separate the box, so that the two of them could see inside.

Sure enough, there were 12 two-tiered coins in this box, and there were six coin lids, two of each, and the coin covers were decorated with bats, swastikas, flowers and other auspicious symbols.

The 12 gold coins are engraved with 12 Chinese characters.

Zhu flocking more and more amazed, "I have long heard that these gold coins are engraved with the world is peaceful, long-term peace and long-term rule, political communication and harmony, harmony and rain, national peace and security, uprightness, blessed by heaven, blessing Zuo long, Shoufu Kangning, auspicious and healthy, purple air from the east and longevity without borders, these contain the meaning of the blessing of the Jiangshan Sheji Manchu and Han double fonts, today I saw it to know that it is so exquisite, the best." ”

"Yes, these coins themselves did not mint too many sets, and they were placed in the Old Summer Palace, and later the Eight-Nation Alliance's burning of the Old Summer Palace caused most of these coins to go overseas, and only one set was circulated in the hands of domestic private collectors." Director Wu sighed and said: "We have three sets here, but one of them will be displayed in the museum, and the other two sets will not be sold to the public because of their rarity. ”

Well?

Not for sale?

Then you tell me to watch a chicken!

Ji Cheng almost rolled his eyes, but he thought about it, if he really didn't sell it to the outside world, then why show it to himself?

After careful analysis, he probably had a point in his heart, and estimated that the martial curator was willing to sell a set to himself, but he had requirements, and this request was very excessive.

But no matter how much he went too far, he wanted to get such a set of coins!

It's not a matter of money or not, it's true, as far as he knows, this set of coins was sold for 41.975 million in the 2017 Guardian Spring Auction "Seeing the Subtleties - Gold and Silver Treasures" special sale, the price is very expensive, but this is not the main reason why Ji Cheng wants to get a set, after all, even in modern society, he has a total asset of more than one billion, and he is not short of money, the reason why he wants to get a set is to collect, this level of antique coins, it can be said that whoever collects is awesome, because there is a set of circulation on the market, Even if he gets one set back, it's only two sets of flows, and he can't envy the people in the collection circle?

"It's a pity." I wish flocking a pity.

Director Wu said intentionally or unintentionally: "Let's take a look at something else." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he took the initiative to point to the three silver coins in another separate display case and said, "How about you look at this Shuanglong Shou coin." ”

it!

Ssangyong Shou coin?

Ji Cheng was taken aback again.

There are three varieties of Ssangyong Shou coins, and there are two denominations.

This coin was minted to congratulate the Empress Dowager Cixi on her 60th birthday, so the mint amount is scarce, and it is very rare to survive to this day.

Among them, the most valuable is the Dongguang Shuanglong Shou character coin Guangxu Yuan Treasure Treasure Treasure Flat weight one tael, this coin is a big treasure in the numismatic world, very rare and rare, it is rumored that the number of modern society does not exceed ten, of which in 2021, the Autumn Auction of the West Cold Printing Society had auctioned one, and finally sold for 8.05 million!

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

This is still because the storage is not perfect, so the price did not break 10 million.

According to the information that Ji Cheng obtained from searching for coins in modern society, the best preserved Ssangyong Shou character coins are worth 17 million!

He and Zhu flocking hurriedly leaned over to see, there were three in the display case, all of which were one or two of Dongguang Kuping.

Zhu flocking shouted: "Shuanglong Shou Zi Coin is available? ”

"Haha." The martial arts hall chief smiled, "Not only is it a Shuanglong longevity coin, a tael of Fengtian Guimao coins, Mr. Sun Yat-sen's earth coin, and the three-year long bearded dragon silver coin of Xuantong in the Qing Dynasty, these rare coins are all available here in our blog post, not only in terms of coins, but also in terms of porcelain, jade, bronze, Ming and Qing dynasty furniture, miscellaneous, strange stones, calligraphy and painting of modern and ancient masters, and they are all fine products, and the value is not under these ancient coins." ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Ji Cheng meaningfully, "Mr. Ji, do you want it?" ”

Ji Cheng smiled.

It turns out that the stamps just now and the coins are both bait.

He knew that Curator Wu had shown him enough fine products, and now he was afraid that he would have to make a request.

If Ji Cheng can agree to those requests, in addition to the porcelain that he promised himself at the beginning, the antiques that Curator Wu said just now should be open to him as long as they are within the scope of the law.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Ji Cheng had long understood this truth, and it was true that he had expected that the martial curator was not so kind, and he would definitely have other plans to sell a large piece of peerless treasure stamps such as red and blue army stamps to himself.

However, Ji Cheng relied on the system to travel to the time and space of the eighties, isn't it just to get good things and get them back to modern society in exchange for money, naturally, he will agree to any request from the martial arts director next, provided that it is not too boundless.

"Yes." Ji Cheng was neat, and then said straightforwardly: "What are the requirements, you say." ”

Curator Wu, Professor Zhu Ya, Manager Zhu and the others glanced at each other, and they all saw a smile in their eyes, they had worked so hard, not just for the rooster-shaped Gao Binghong in Ji Cheng's hand.

"Okay, Mr. Ji is quick to talk, then I won't go around in circles with you." Director Wu also said very directly: "I think you also know the composition of the funding sources of public museums across the country, which is nothing more than the above appropriations, donations from the public and the operating income of its tertiary companies. ”

Ji Cheng nodded, "I know this." ”

Do you want to make a donation?

There's nothing wrong with donating, but it's just a little bit of a little bit more.

Money can solve nothing!

But to Ji Cheng's surprise, Director Wu did not ask for a donation.

"Unlike other museums, our museum still charges admission fees, and the only real sources of funding are appropriations from superiors, social donations, and the income of Bowen, a tertiary company." Director Wu repeated again, "It's just that this money is a drop in the bucket, and it's not enough for the museum at all, but the higher-level appropriations have regulations, not that I can take as much as I want, and social donations are also a truth, and how much people are willing to donate is not something we can ask for, so if we want to make up for the shortage of funds, only Bowen, a tertiary company, really depends on Bowen, I don't ask Mr. Ji that you can donate to our museum, I just know that you have a big business achievement, and I want to ask you for an idea, so that Bowen can earn more money, if it works." , The inventory here is all open to you, as long as the antiques within the scope of the law can be sold to you! ”

This request seems simple.

It seems that as long as you think of a money-making project for Bowen's side, the rest will be solved.

But in fact, this seemingly simple requirement is very difficult, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as difficult.

Why?

Because the business scope of the museum's tertiary industry company is very restricted, even if there is any new project, it needs to be approved by the superiors, and it can only be allowed to operate.

It is precisely for this reason that the scope of the museum's tertiary industry companies is very narrow.

Especially in the current era, there is basically only one way to make money from the tertiary production companies of the museum, that is, to buy some antiques from other places, enter the museum with a high enough grade, and sell them to the outside world if the grade is not enough, which is almost the only truly profitable project of a museum.

Therefore, this request put forward by Director Wu, if anyone in the current era hears it, they will feel a headache, after all, there are so many restrictions, what else can you do besides selling antiques?

But for Ji Cheng, who has crossed over from modern society, this is really not a thing, he doesn't dare to say anything else, he can solve it by directly moving the profit method of the museum tertiary industry company in modern society.

The money-making projects of the tertiary industry companies under the Museum of Modern Society can be described as a hundred flowers, although the theme is still cultural and creative, but the revenue is not low.

For example, the cultural and creative company of the Palace Museum, in the modern society, Taobao sales revenue alone exceeded 1.5 billion yuan in 17 years.

Bowen Company is a little worse, with an 18-year revenue of 792 million.

Although there is no online sales channel like Taobao now, there are some things to learn from, and I dare not say anything else, Ji Cheng believes that as long as it is done step by step, it should still be okay for Bowen to earn millions of dollars a year, and the problem of shortage of museum funds will not be solved by then?

The crowd was still staring at him.

Ji Cheng glanced at the crowd, and then chuckled, "That's it?" Isn't that simple? Okay, I'll give you an idea, and you'll see if it's okay. ”

Yes?

Really have an idea?

Still came up with it so quickly?

Curator Wu, Professor Zhu Ya, Manager Zhu and others couldn't help but be stunned, and at the same time they were a little puzzled in their hearts, Curator Wu had just made a request, and Ji Chengcheng said that he immediately thought of a way, would it be a good idea to think of it in such a short time? They really don't believe it.
