Chapter 192: The Value of Ma Dudu
Jiang Yuanchao is not a person who doesn't know anything, he has been in Yanjing for a few months, although he has no job, but he has accompanied his parents to turn the city around. In addition to serious work, he also considered small traders. It's just that selling stamps is beyond his comprehension.
Besides, just such a stamp is not enough for him to sell.
Besides, people can go to the post and telecommunications office to buy it, why buy stamps from him, isn't it a superfluous move?
I can't understand it, he can't understand his brother's thoughts at all.
Jiang Yulou saw the confusion in Jiang Yuanchao's eyes, so he explained: "Big brother, these stamps I bought are not sold immediately, but kept for later. ”
"Stay for later?" Jiang Yuanchao didn't understand it even more.
Even if it takes a long time, isn't the stamp still a stamp, will the price still rise?
"Big brother, you can treat him as a kind of antique calligraphy and painting, even if it is not worth it now, but the value will be very considerable in the future."
Jiang Yuanchao nodded, although he didn't understand, but his younger brother said how to do it, and he followed suit.
"So what are we going to do now?"
"This post and telecommunications office is gone, let's go to other homes to have a look, maybe there will be a harvest."
So, Jiang Yulou and Jiang Yuanchao spent a day running all over the post and telecommunications offices in Yanjing, and the monkey tickets they bought were only a few editions, and there were scattered ones, but he couldn't look at them.
As for the rest, unfortunately, it is not possible to buy them at all.
It wasn't until the sun was about to set that he and Jiang Yuanchao rode their bicycles back home.
Seeing so many stamps, my parents were very surprised, and after asking, Jiang Yulou explained that it was a collection for fun. The son is a big writer, he is very rich, and it is not a loser to buy some stamps, and the old couple will not say anything.
Jiang Yulou locked the monkey ticket in a special cabinet, this is his coffin book in the future, and it must be kept.
Hey, I also blame him for being late, if it was a few years earlier, not to mention the monkey ticket, what "the mountains and rivers are red", "revolutionary victory", "Qing Dynasty dragon ticket" These peerless treasures will definitely not escape the palm of his hand.
It's a good investment, it's not good at all, and it will have to wait decades to sell for the ideal price.
The next day after school, he rode his bicycle to the post and telecommunications office, ready to try his luck, not to buy precious stamps at the post and telecommunications office, but to see if there were any philatelic enthusiasts selling stamps in front of the post and telecommunications office.
After waiting for a long time, I still got nothing.
Just as he was about to leave with his eldest brother, he suddenly heard a voice: "Yulou, is it Yulou?" ”
Jiang Yulou heard a familiar voice, turned his head and saw that a man wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and a pair of black leather shoes walked over.
This person is none other than Ma Dudu.
"Ah, it's a dood."
The two unexpectedly met at the door of the post and telecommunications office, and they were quite surprised.
After laughing for a few words, Ma Dudu said, "Yulou, are you going to collect stamps?" ”
"It's just a hobby, toot too?"
"Hey, it's not as good as Yulou, although I'm hungry for these, I don't have the money to collect them."
"When I first started collecting, I didn't dare to invest too much money, so I thought about collecting stamps, and I didn't have much money."
"In the end, it's a jade building, rich and rich, where it's like us, the pockets are cleaner than the face."
Jiang Yulou thought for a while and asked, "Since Dudu is interested in stamps, don't you know a few philatelic friends?" ”
"Yes, yes." Ma Dudu took out a pack of cigarettes, took out a cigarette, and handed it to Jiang Yulou, Jiang Yulou didn't take it, and he didn't care.
It's normal for college students not to smoke. So he handed Jiang Yuanchao a cigarette. Jiang Yulou's eldest brother, he has met once.
Jiang Yuanchao did not refuse, and after the two lit the fire, they swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog.
Ma Dudu took a hard puff of the cigarette, and then spit out a smoke ring before he said, "What type do you want to receive, I'll help you ask when the time comes." ”
"Monkey tickets, 'the mountains and rivers of the country are red', and 'Qing Dynasty dragon tickets' are the best to be printed."
"Okay, I'll help you ask then."
"Thank you so much."
"Hey, we're all friends."
After the two agreed to see each other on Wednesday, they separated.
After Ma Dudu left, Jiang Yuanchao asked, "Brother, is that your friend?" ”
"Well, Ma Dudu, big yard boy, you should have seen it."
"I met once, and I forgot about it."
"He, Wang Shuo, and Liu Sola are all friends, and they belong to the kind that have a relationship with the family, or play from childhood to adulthood, and the relationship is relatively iron. You can get in touch with them more in the future, it's beneficial. ”
"That's right. But ......"
"What's wrong?"
"But he's so young, does he know how to collect?"
Jiang Yulou was silent for a moment and said, "People are different. ”
Jiang Yuanchao: "......"
And just like that, two more days passed, and it was the day of the appointment.
These days, he has to go back and forth between school and home every day, and he feels more and more inconvenient about transportation. That is, there is no money now, otherwise you will definitely have to spend money to buy a car.
After meeting, Ma Dudu said: "My friend is a teacher, the salary is OK, just like to play stamps, it just so happens that there is a version of 'thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are red' at home, if it weren't for the recent illness of his old father, the cost is a lot of money urgently, he will not take the stamps out of cash." ”
Then, he added: "My friend's house is not far from the post office, why don't we go now?" ”
"Okay, let's go."
Jiang Yulou was about to ride, and suddenly thought that Ma Dudu was walking, so he said, "Dudu, why don't you sit in the back seat of my brother?" ”
"No need, his house is not far away, just a few steps away."
Jiang Yulou thought about it, got out of the car, pushed the bicycle and left with Ma Dudu.
There was no small talk along the way, he was very curious about whether Ma Dudu was engaged in antique collection now, and said: "Dudu, in addition to stamps, do you also play with other collectibles?" ”
"I didn't play, but I met an old gentleman, and now I'm learning from Mr. Ren."
"Old sir? Who is it? ”
"Wang Shixiang, Mr. Wang!"
"It's his old man!"
Jiang Yulou was taken aback, good guy, no wonder Ma Dudu got up in the future, it turned out that he worshiped a big Buddha as a teacher.
Mr. Wang is a cultural relics expert, scholar, cultural relics connoisseur, collector, researcher of the Chinese Cultural Heritage Research Institute of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, and librarian of the Central Research Institute of Culture and History, and enjoys special allowances from the State Council.
Not to mention a lot of names on his body, the collection is worth the old nose money.
Don't look at him writing novels to make money now, in a few decades, his entire net worth may not be as good as a table in Mr. Ren's house.
He vaguely remembered that Ma Dudu seemed to be quite good at doors, windows, tables and chairs, so he asked:
"Dudu, how long have you been studying with Mr. Wang?"
He slowed down, no expression on his face.
"It didn't take long for me to know a few people who were tinkering with old furniture."
"Yes, it just so happens that my family wants to change to a set of old furniture, do you know someone to introduce me?"
"Yes, but it's old furniture, but it's actually old things, and the price is not cheap."
"As long as it's in good condition, money isn't an issue."
"Okay, I'll get you in touch then."
Ma Dudu readily agreed.
Jiang Yulou is also very happy, although Du Ma Dudu is not that big collector now, but in the end, he is a disciple of Wang Lao, and his connections are here, so it is convenient to find him to do things.
rushed to this, he felt that Ma Dudu's friend was not in vain.
