National Tide 1980.

Chapter 451
Ning Weimin remembered very clearly what the antique market in the capital was like in 2020.

It's so dismal!

Relevant practitioners complained incessantly!
No matter how many famous antique cities there are, even Panjiayuan and Liulichang, many shops can't even earn rent!

However, the art auction market is thriving, and the prices of antiques and toys put up for auction hit record highs repeatedly.

Comparing the two, it is like ice and fire.

Needless to say, this will definitely confuse most ordinary people, and some people may blame it on the epidemic.

But relevant practitioners in the industry are well aware.

The reason is obvious, in fact, it will be broken once poked.

To put it bluntly, it's just because the antique trade after the founding of the People's Republic of China is basically based on the "movement" compensation materials.

Very limited resources have been exploited and developed over the years.

With the show and old goods, collectors at home and abroad are buying less and less, and resources are exhausted.

Almost all antique trading markets have become pure handicraft markets.

It would be good if the stuff that can be called an old thing can reach [-]%.

Where will there be opportunities to pick up leaks?

Naturally, the market lost popular support, lost popularity, and inevitably went into decline.

It was quite different before, and the market was indeed very rich.

Collectors with eyesight and rich collection experience can indeed find treasures.

This is the only magic weapon to stimulate market prosperity.

Take the most famous Panjiayuan flea market in Beijing as an example.

According to statistics, from 2005 to 2015, it is definitely not a rumor that one or two authentic products were produced here every year.

From 1995 to 2005, the period when the antique trade was at its peak.

The Panjiayuan flea market even sells one or two authentic items every month.

Of course, if we really want to say that it was a good time for Taobao to pick up leaks, we have to say that it was from 1978 to 1990.

During that time, the value of antiques was hardly discovered, and people really sold treasures as junk.

Therefore, Ning Weimin took in Sun Wufu and hired him to help him walk around the streets and collect things, which was really a wise move.

These days, even if you close your eyes to collect, you can still collect a lot of real things.

Of course, despite this, Ning Weimin gave Sun Wufu a short-term training before he took up his post.

So that he can improve work efficiency as much as possible and master the knack of receiving goods.

The first step, of course, is to step on the spot.

In addition to spending more than 400 yuan to buy Sun Wufu a new tablet tricycle, Ning Weimin also gave him a map of the capital.

He even asked Sun Wufu to ride a three-wheeler, and led him to follow the map to find out what to do, and went around the main core area.

The roughly delineated receiving range is Deshengmen in the north, Daqianmen in the south, Chaoyangmen Street in the east, and the bungalow area of ​​Fuchengmen Street in the west.

The reason is very simple. There has always been a saying in Beijing that the east is rich, the west is rich, the south is poor, and the north is cheap.

That is the historical objective reason that people divide like groups and like like like gather together.

If you want to collect good things, of course you have to go to the place where the dignitaries lived together in the past. This is called targeting.

Only in the old bungalows in the Dongcheng District and Xicheng District are those with rich families living in the old bungalows.

As for the buildings, almost all of them were built after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and there are very few valuable old objects in the homes of the new nobles.

In the second step, there is also a category limit for collecting things.

Ning Weimin must not let Sun Wufu accept everything like in the past.

If you want to collect the real tatters again, isn't that just a waste of time.

But if you want to explain it one by one, it's troublesome enough.

Not to mention that Ning Weimin is hard to say, and it is inevitable that he will be a little off. The key is that Sun Wufu has heard of many things but has never seen them.

Not to mention, Ning Weimin really has a solution.

He came with the most direct and easy way.

Simply take Sun Wufu to the "Huaxia Handicraft Store" at No. 12 Chongwenmen Inner Street.

Although this store may be called a "handicraft store", it is actually the largest trust store in the city that moved from the original site of "Quanyechang" in Langfang Toutiao in 1975 - "Quanyechang Trust Store". There are more than 470 people.

in addition.Not to mention the large business area here, it is the only thrift store in the city that can supply foreign guests.

Some special commodities collected by the city's trust bank purchase points can only be sold here, and the business varieties are extremely rich.

In addition to leather case clocks, gold case watches, high-end clothing materials, high-end fur, and porcelain, there are also handicraft counters.

It specializes in decorations, appreciation products, ancient porcelain, foreign watches, antiques, jade and hardwood furniture.

There is nothing more complete than here for all second-hand goods.

Isn't this the most suitable model?
So Ning Weimin pointed to these things, let Sun Wufu look at them one by one, and told him, "You can accept everything here, except clothes. What's not here, books, newspapers, magazines, letters, such as writing, with You can also accept the paintings. As for the others, we will not accept them at all."

Sun Wufu was also happy, thinking that it was really simple and clear.Look and nod.

The third step is that Ning Weimin taught Sun Wufu how to bargain.

Ning Weimin didn't mention anything else, but only emphasized the following points.

First, bargaining is a must.

Don't think it's cheap no matter how much people want, and don't agree to it just to save trouble.

Otherwise, the other party should not be happy, and even a good deal can blow the candle.

Secondly, if you think something is good and you want to buy it, don't worry about pennies, it should be too low.

To put it bluntly, collecting things is their ultimate goal.

I'm not afraid of suffering a little loss on the price, what I'm afraid of is that people think you're giving a bad price.

Not only will the things be kept and not sold to you, but the next time there are good things, I will not want to find you again.

Don't lose the big because of the small.

And when it comes to arguing, if we can't reach an agreement, how should we talk?
You can never say that the other party wants too much, you have to say that.

"The price you want is indeed not high, but my ability to accept it is really limited. I still sincerely want to do this business with you, so you can give me some more."

People are all the same, you have to take care of each other's feelings when you speak.

Rejection can't make the other party unhappy, and then there will be room for further negotiation.

What is harmony?
Both sides are willing to compromise a step, that is called harmony.

It is not difficult to learn these few things.

Sun Wufu wrote it down carefully, as long as he practiced it a few times, he would master it.

As for the wrong purchase, Ning Weimin is not worried at all.

He also told Sun Wufu not to worry, saying that mistakes are allowed.

So at the beginning of April, when the white magnolias had their curtain call, the pink magnolias competed for beauty.

Sun Wufu, who had initially received vocational training, hung a sign in front of his tricycle saying "Recover old furniture at a high price" and walked around the streets again. .

It should be said that if it is compared with the past, Sun Wufu is definitely a shotgun change.

Not only is his tricycle new, it saves a lot of effort to pedal.

And the clothes are clean and decent, and the capital is rich.

The key is to only accept a few valuable things, and you will lose your physical strength.

It's really similar to walking the street, looking at the scenery and enjoying the leisurely work.

But unfortunately, after opening, the effect in the first week was not very good.

He really didn't confiscate any real goodies.

Back to Baoduier, let’s talk together, only about [-] catties of old books, newspapers, and magazines, a dozen pieces of old porcelain, and two pieces of old wood.
There is also an inkstone and a copper Tang Pozi.

This inevitably made him feel a little embarrassed, for fear that Ning Weimin would think that he could eat or not.

Fortunately, Ning Weimin was really not in a hurry.

He knew that this matter had to be done slowly and in the long run, so he comforted Sun Wufu and told him not to lose heart.

And told him about the things he collected.

Among them, only three or five pieces are imitation porcelains from the Republic of China, including a Daoguang folk kiln famille rose bowl, and a mahogany flower shelf.

In terms of the current market situation, it is enough to equal the cost paid, and other things are tantamount to nothing.

This is not considered a loss, but also a profit.

In this way, Sun Wufu can feel at ease and can continue to persevere.

Sure enough, it was really different in the second week.

I don’t know if everyone has Ji Tailai’s words

It's because Sun Wufu is too honest to obey the old saying that suffering is a blessing.

This week has been really evil, and Sun Wufu actually picked up big leaks one after another.

In a very short period of time, he not only brought Ning Weimin surprises again and again, but also brought him great benefits.

Let's talk about this first time.

Sun Wufu, actually received a large blue and white platter imitated by the Kangxi official kiln from an old lady for nine yuan.

What is this plate used for all the time in the old lady's house?

It is used to raise garlic seedlings.

There is a lack of vegetables in the capital for the winter, so this old lady can just feed some garlic sprouts at home.

But the problem is that garlic seedlings have a smell.

Right now, the old lady's son is about to get married.

The boy's object, that is, the old lady's daughter-in-law, especially dislikes the smell of garlic that fills the house of her husband's house.

For this reason, the old lady had to give up her small family vegetable garden.

Of course, I also felt that the plate was useless, so I wanted to sell it for two dollars.

Ordinarily speaking, it could be sold to anyone.

But just because Sun Wufu visited here a few days ago, he just spent five yuan to buy a celadon teapot produced in Jiangxi after the founding of the People's Republic of China from the old lady.

It turned out that there were mistakes, and the old lady believed that the price he offered was higher than that offered by everyone else just because he had been taken advantage of this time.

I feel that others are honest, the price they give is good, and they are easy to talk to.

It's because he doesn't want to sell the things at home, so this plate is reserved for him.

On the day he went, it was specially sold to him.

Seeing this plate at that time, Sun Wufu still remembered Ning Weimin's instructions.

The old lady asked for ten yuan, and he thought he had to pay back the price no matter what, so he said ten yuan would not work, and he got nine nine.

In this way, the old lady thought that he was being humorous on purpose, and made him laugh, and the matter was done.

As for Sun Wufu himself, he didn't taste the sweetness of the deal until he showed the plate to Ning Weimin after returning home.

Because he really didn't expect that Ning Weimin would actually give him a bonus of ten yuan for this dish.

Needless to say, he is also happy that Da Tuan is good at it.

The second thing is even worse.

It was an old clock that was badly destroyed by a family because of family conflicts and a fight.

The glass case was completely broken, the wooden case was injured, the pendulum fell off, and the hands would not move.

Those family members don’t even bother to repair it, and think that it’s worthless if it’s repaired.

When they saw Sun Wufu, they asked for fifteen unceremoniously as soon as they asked.

Of course, Sun Wufu didn't do it, he turned his head and left.

This was stopped by others, and he had to make a price.

In the end, the reason why Sun Wufu would spend eight yuan to buy this shit.

Not because of anything else, but because he remembered what Ning Weimin said, "As long as it's an old thing, no matter how old it is, you won't dislike it."

Unexpectedly, when he went back to see Ning Weimin this time, the wooden case of the clock was completely cracked.

The contents of the clock came out "crackling" directly from his hand.

And it fell on his feet.

At that time, it hurt him so much, he was so angry and ashamed that he didn't know how to explain it.

He felt frustrated that he had really made a loss-making deal.

But the unexpected is yet to come.

Ning Weimin was actually happy, walked over and patted him on the shoulder happily, "You're really good at it!"

Just bent down and picked up a golden thing from among the messy parts on the ground.

At this time, Sun Wufu took a closer look at Ning Weimin's hand again, and then his brows became happy, and he thought about it.

Ganqing Ning Weimin held a gold bar in his hand.

That is the treasure that no one knows about. It has been hidden in the clock. If the case hadn't been broken, it wouldn't have been revealed.

After accurate weighing, the gold bar actually weighed 310 grams, which is a full twelve-weight "big yellow croaker".

In this way, Sun Wufu got another 50 yuan reward, which was so beautiful that he almost stayed up all night.

Lying under the quilt, I just hummed the line, "I was originally a mountain tiger, and I was alone".

But 50 yuan is still not the time Sun Wufu got the most bonus.

The most time, Ning Weimin gave Sun Wufu a full 100 yuan.

And it was also because of that time that Sun Wufu completely became the "blessed general" that Ning Weimin would never suffer in his heart.

What exactly is going on?
It's fun to think about it seriously.

That day, Sun Wufu went out as usual at [-] o'clock in the morning, and went out from the west gate of Temple of Heaven Park.

What turned out to be abnormal was that he came back after only two hours and went to Ning Weimin's office all the way.

The big man not only cried.He also felt extremely wronged and said that the 500 yuan that Ning Weimin had just given was taken away by others.

At the same time he was a little panicked.Even though he suffered a great loss, he dared not go to the police station to report the crime, for fear that the police would treat him as a criminal and arrest him.

Of course Ning Weimin was curious, so he asked him in detail what was going on.

Why did you not call the police when you were bullied?What are you sorry for?It's not too wimpy anymore.

Only then did Sun Wufu explain what was going on.

On this day, when he was pedaling through an alley, he was stopped by two young men.

The two pointed to the sign on his car and sneakily said that they had copper for sale to him.

Sun Wufu said he didn't want copper, but the two still refused to let go, and threw the two big bags on the ground into Sun Wufu's car.

Then he kept saying that there was less than 600 catties of copper in the sack, and asked him for [-] yuan when he reached out.

When Sun Wufu opened a sack and looked, he was startled. It was full of rusty and soiled copper coins.

This thing can't be sold to the scrap yard at all, it has to be caught.

He just said "no no no".

Unexpectedly, the two boys were so reckless that they hit him together and simply pushed him to the ground.

After searching all the money on him, he ran away.

When Sun Wufu got up, he was gone.

When he thought about it, how could he explain it clearly.

God knows where these two boys got these copper coins, if they are stolen by thieves, or dug out from some grave.

They find it tricky and throw it all to themselves.

I am going to the police station, I am afraid that I will also be regarded as a dealer who resells cultural relics...

And the experience he narrated almost made Ning Weimin cry from laughter.

Especially when I saw the two big sacks of copper coins pulled back from the car.

Almost all of them are of good quality Yongzheng Tongbao, and they seem to be cast by Baonan Bureau.

Ning Weimin was even more open-minded.

You know, Emperor Yongzheng reigned for only 13 years.

Yongzheng Tongbao is a dark horse among ancient coins.

Just these money, about four hundred catties, estimated to be around [-].

After 30 years, it will be worth at least 1000 million.

However, Sun Wufu didn't do anything, and someone offered to deliver it to his door, whether he wanted it or not.

Calculated according to the serving size, it may be less than two yuan per catty.

Is there anything more unreasonable than this in the world?

In his heart, Sun Wufu is really unmatched.

It is definitely such a lucky person that it blooms once in 3000, bears fruit once in 3000, and will mature in another 3000 years.
