National Tide 1980.

Chapter 118 Procedure

In these years, because there is no legal trading market, the channels for the sale of folk cultural relics are particularly single.

Ordinary people have almost no other place to sell their things except sending them to cultural relic stores. This is the only legal channel.

If you have to sell it to other places, it is not only speculative, but also a violation of national laws.

The key is that there are really not many units and people who dare to ask for it, and everyone is afraid of getting into trouble.

Therefore, it is precisely because of this state-led purchase and sale policy that the prices of all cultural relics are strictly restricted.

No matter how good something is, it has to be judged by the country.

The country says how much this thing is worth, and how much it is worth.

That's why Ning Weimin was in a hurry last time when he sent a pair of gourd bottles to Yun Guzhai, but when he heard that the price was not suitable, he turned around and left, and he didn't go to other places to ask for the price after that.

No way, but there are too few choices of where to make a move.

Ning Weimin didn't have the ability to attract people to Kang Shuode's layout, and the ability to make shopkeepers rush to buy.

According to his estimates, anyone who looked at his young face would despise him.

What if everyone acted like a gentleman in front of him and took out a mimeograph book of prices.

Then he pointed to it and said that his things were worth two hundred and five, and he must be pissed off.

I was reluctant to part with it, since I couldn't sell it for a few bucks.

Why should he be like Bai Jingqi in the leather robe in "The Mansion Gate", circling around looking for anger?

Simply pull it down.

But then again, he is him, others are others.

Although he doesn't have the skills of Mr. Kang, but Ning Weimin can raise money from other places, what should he do if he is someone else?

Speaking of fundamentals, whoever comes out to sell things, isn't it all because of lack of money?

If it's someone who can't find it even with a scratch, then I'm afraid they'll have to sell it to a cultural relic store.

But this brings up another difficulty.

Even if you don't care about the price, it is not so easy to sell things smoothly.

It depends on whether the seller can find the right place.

You must know that the state has very strict regulations on the management of cultural relics.

The business scope of each store is very different, and the division is clear, and mixed operations must not be allowed.

From the perspective of the capital as a whole, Dongsi and Bamiancao have purchasing departments dedicated to the foreign trade department's purchase of jewelry and diamonds.

In Xinjiekou, Xidan, and Liulichang, there are purchasing departments belonging to cultural relic stores to purchase calligraphy, painting and porcelain.

Gold and silver jewelry must be uniformly purchased by the People's Bank of China.

And there are trust stores distributed in almost every downtown, which actually specialize in the collection of old life items.

For example, fur coats, photographic equipment, bicycles, etc., or wooden furniture.

Almost all the things that are not needed in life can be sent to trust stores.

If we focus on Liulichang, a "professional" Beijing antique street, the division will be more detailed.

Yunguzhai, a subsidiary of the cultural relics store, is the sales office of Jinshi ceramics.

Cuizhenzhai is a sales department of modern ceramics.

Qingyuntang is the sales office of inscriptions in the past dynasties.

Baoguzhai is the sales department of calligraphy and painting in the past dynasties.

There is also Cuiwenge Engraving Club, which specializes in materials for stamps.

As for stores outside the cultural relics store system, only Rongbaozhai and Jingcheng Painting Store under the Fine Arts Publishing House have the right to purchase and sell calligraphy and paintings on their own.

how about it?Complicated or not?

Then think about it, how do ordinary people understand this?

Especially Zhuer, who is trying to sell something for the first time, must be dizzy and confused.

Once you come to Liulichang excitedly with your things in your arms, nine out of ten people will definitely find that they have found the wrong place.

And this kind of situation cannot be sold, and it will definitely be turned away by the clerk.

When you meet someone with a better attitude, maybe they will tell you where to sell it and which store to find.

When you run into someone who is in a bad mood, you can get rid of him with a single "no accept".

Are you in a hurry?Love is in no hurry.

Anyway, your difficulties are none of his business.

Therefore, when encountering this situation, the seller often has to leave the item at a low price to the trust store because he does not know what to do next.

Or they were angry and sold the waste products directly.

Of course, after a few years, they will definitely regret and regret their hasty behavior even more.

So if someone knows the difference between stores, or if they are lucky, they can find the right place directly?

It may not necessarily achieve the goal smoothly.

Because the next key depends on whether you have your household registration book or not.

Of course, cultural relics stores can't see something, think it's good, and just spend money to accept it casually.

What if it is stolen graves or stolen goods?

Therefore, the store has a rule that only people with household registration books will receive them, so as to trace the source of goods.

To put it bluntly, going to a cultural relic store to sell things is almost like going to a hospital to see a doctor.

The sellers have to get the number first with the account book, and then line up to let the clerk look at the things.

This number is still limited, and there is a fixed number every day.

If you haven't been in the queue, no matter how good the things are, they won't accept you, so you have to come back another day.

So this leads to a very troublesome problem.

People who don't know where they are, may have to run several times and go for a walk before they can sell what they want to sell.

For example, the few people Ning Weimin met at the gate of Cuizhen Zhai today were all because of some formalities, so they made a trip for nothing.

To be specific, this middle-aged man was actually wronged.

Because he has been here several times, he knows what it is like to sell things, and he is not someone who doesn't know what's going on.

This time he brought a jade pot spring vase, which is very suitable for Cuizhenzhai.

And the account book is also brought.

It's just unlucky, it's unlucky to have an impromptu meeting in the unit today, it's really hard for him to get out.

Just because I came a little late, I didn't get the number, and it was all over.

As for the rural mother and son, they were different from him.

The master who suffered because he didn't understand anything and came here rashly.

The two women are from Miyun, and they had inquired about Liulichang in advance, thinking that they could just sell their things when they got there.

Wan didn't expect to find it all the way, but because he was carrying a gold and bronze Buddha statue, he bumped into obstacles everywhere and didn't accept it anywhere.

Some shops heard that they were going to sell Buddha statues, and even drove them away without even looking at the items.

Those who are interested in asking can only shake their heads when they hear that they did not bring any documents to prove their identity.

Needless to say, for the mother and son, the current situation is quite sad.

The things are not sold, so just go back, and pay the fare for nothing, and take it for a day.

You can stay, and continue to look for it tomorrow, and you will have to pay extra for the hotel.

The key is that if you look for it tomorrow, you may not be able to sell it. What if the price is not satisfactory.

Wouldn't it be worse to delay going back one more day?

This is called a dilemma, and it is not appropriate at all.

So whether it's for the middle-aged people, or for the mother and son.

The purchase intention expressed by Ning Weimin is really like sending charcoal in the snow, accumulating great virtue.

It was impossible for them not to be tempted, they were all eager to let Ning Weimin see things quickly.
