National Tide 1980.

Chapter 211

Go gracefully and return profusely in sweat.

Ning Weimin took out all the money in his pocket.

Returning to Baoduier, including foreign exchange certificates and RMB, it cost nearly 1000 yuan to get two sacks of calligraphy and paintings.

With the help of Xiaoqi, the storekeeper, even moving downstairs was exhausted.

Fortunately, it was very close to the front door. Ning Weimin asked Huo Xin to help him look at things, and went to get a tricycle by himself.

So he, a foreign comprador in suit and leather shoes, finally met Huo Xin's astonished eyes.

Sitting on the back of the tricycle like a "Libener", escorted these things to No. 2 courtyard of Shan'er Hutong.

Although Ning Weimin accidentally cut a big cut in his trousers when he got out of the car, the more than 100 yuan was directly reimbursed.

Also, because my pocket was empty, I had to go to the yard to get the money, and the tricycle driver complained unhappily.

But that's okay.

Today's gains are enough to cover up this series of unhappiness, and still make him as happy as a child holding a lollipop.

In fact, when Kang Shude came back from work that day.

As soon as he entered the door with the curtains drawn tightly, all the chandeliers, standing lamps, and table lamps in Ning Weimin's house were turned on.

There are more than fifty paintings hung all over the walls, spread out on the table and on the bed, and they are enjoying themselves admiringly.

"Hey, you brat, you don't stay home every day. It's hard to come back once, and you don't talk about cooking for me and cleaning up the house. You made me mess up even more. You still turn on so many lights? It's shameful to waste..."

"Oh, old man, which month will I not pay for the electricity bill? Besides, what else are you going to eat? Let's go out to eat later, I have to treat you well. You should come and have a look first, let me get it back All of them are good things..."

The old man put down the bag a little unwillingly, and waited for a while when he came over slowly, before speaking.

"Just here? It's worth it for you to be successful? Isn't it Fu Baoshi, Pan Tianshou, and these few paintings of Qi Baishi. Are they fresh? Not fresh."

"Don't you still have two hundred small paintings in your room? In the past, when you earned money, you bought stamps, but now you buy paintings?"

"I have to say a few words to you. You haven't paid much attention to the porcelain and bronze wares recently. You haven't even brought back one or two serious things. Are you not going to the ghost market anymore? I taught you Everything is taught in vain, right?"

"Hey, you put all those things in the house in the air-raid shelter for me. I'm a little tired of my few pieces of porcelain. Hurry up, and you can bring me back some of the things I am interested in. You are filial... "

Ning Weimin really didn't expect that the master had such a big grievance recently, so he quickly apologized and apologized.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, it's my fault that I don't come back often, I don't blame you for not pleasing me."

"You can always learn from the matter of buying porcelain. Considering the purchase cost now, it is not very cost-effective to buy porcelain. I can only start when I see a treasure that cannot be missed."

"On the contrary, the price of this calligraphy and painting is rising every day, and it is very stable. If we don't take the opportunity to buy more, we will really miss it. I am afraid that I will regret it in the future."

This is true, especially since the facts have fully proved Ning Weimin's vision.

Since the postage stamp incident was a mistake, Ning Weimin's calligraphy and painting purchases more than doubled.

Even Kang Shude had to admit that this apprentice saw the market very accurately, and he was not as good as him.

But with his mouth, the old man had to be a little bit tougher.

"You, you are just a little money stringer. You calculate and calculate every day, and pull your abacus beads. Don't say I didn't warn you. It's easy to suffer big losses when you take advantage of small things? It's useless to rely on calculations for big things. It's still in your stomach." Knowledge and worldly sophistication come first."

Ning Weimin lowered his eyebrows and looked down.

"Hey, yes, I remember. Thank you for your teaching."

The old man had piercing eyes and remained unmoved.

"Cut, just play sloppy with me. Come on, tell me, how much do you charge for these things? Let me see how much you took advantage of."

Now Ning Weimin was happy, and stretched out his finger, triumphantly.

"They take care of me and give me a unified price. It costs 25 foreign exchange certificates, RMB [-]..."

Kang Shude was confused.

"It's not cheap! It's about the same as the price in the store outside! Just these few Qi Baishi are worth your money, it's almost half the price..."

Ning Weimin was quite excited, and his tone of voice rose instantly with his mouth curled up.

"Oh, why didn't you understand? I'm not talking about one foot, but one piece!"

"what?!"

Now the old man also called out, and then he stuttered.

"This... this... this is impossible..."

He naturally understood how cheap it was.

"Why is it impossible?"

Ning Weimin lowered his voice again.

But there was a complete smile on his face, as happy as a sunflower.

"Let me tell you, where is this? I went to that library today and there are a lot of them, at least tens of thousands..."

Kang Shude blinked, as if in a dream.

"I... I said, don't play tricks on you kid! You really scared me..."

"Oh, don't you know me? I'm a coward. I promise, it's absolutely reasonable and legal..."

"That is to say, if you want to send the painting to Liulichang tomorrow, you can earn several times in a short time. And as much as you want..."

"That's not!"

Kang Shude couldn't say anything.

His level of astonishment at this time was not much better than when Ning Weimin entered the warehouse a few hours ago.

On this day, Ning Weimin invited the old man to eat "Old Zhengxing" "Braised Water" and "Sound Oil Eel Paste".

Rao drank a catty of old Jimo wine, and took a bath in the nearby Tsinghua Pool where Bian Jianjun worked.

But when he got home, Ning Weimin was also tossing and turning on the bed, unable to sleep.

Annoying!

As soon as he closed his eyes, he could see thousands of scrolls stacked like mountains floating in front of his eyes.

Rich as an enemy, priceless!

No wonder it is said that small money depends on earning, while big money depends on life!

If it wasn't for his luck, he met Huo Xin, a young lady, no matter how capable he was, he wouldn't have had such a chance to grow his hair?

20 years less struggle?It is not too much to say that two lifetimes!

It seems that he is indeed favored by God, and he has come here to be a tycoon in this life.

Look, Ning Weimin considered it lucky to know Huo Xin again.

What does this mean?

It shows that wealth is the most lustful thing, it shows that people have the problem of forgetting the pain when their scars are healed, and it shows that people are not enough to take advantage of it.

Even eating mutton skewers is like eating one skewer and thinking about two skewers, and eating two skewers and thinking about ten skewers, let alone discovering so many precious calligraphy and paintings.

Anyway, no matter what, this Ning Weimin was completely led by the painting scroll in that warehouse.

After turning through the sesame seed cakes for more than half a night, I can barely make do.

When he got up the next day, he found that the clock was already nine o'clock, and he was the only one left in the room.

The old man only left a note on the table for him, saying that he would not come back for lunch and let him take care of himself.

Well, since this is the case, he has no intention of going to work.

After washing up in a hurry, I didn't even eat breakfast, so I called Huo Xin and told him to go to work tomorrow.

I went to the taxi stand at Qianmen and hired a 212 jeep, and went straight to Chongwenmen Hotel to pick up the foreign exchange certificate.

Not for anything else, just because he is very aware that what is in front of him is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Since you can buy it, you should try to buy as much as possible, which is the truth.

(To be honest, anti-theft stickers are purely helpless. Anti-theft can only prevent second theft. But you can’t let these people laugh at genuine readers. Hope you understand)
