National Tide 1980.

Chapter 482
Mr. Ma, who is well-known in the collection industry in Beijing, once said this when he was doing a program.

"If everyone can live again, then everyone must be a winner in life."

What he meant was that the particularity of history once caused a once-in-a-lifetime historical bottom.

In the early days of reform and opening up, we did have many things whose value had been underestimated for a long time.

Then, if anyone can live a new life, he only needs to buy some undervalued things at the right time, and he can easily become a rich man, and live a comfortable life without worrying about money for the rest of his life.

This statement is true, but not entirely true.

Indeed, Ning Weimin, whose soul traveled to the 80s, first felt that this era was full of loopholes.

And it's a big leak that shakes the world and weeps ghosts and gods.

Not to mention anything else, just buying zodiac stamps is enough for him to achieve financial freedom.

If you count the modern calligraphy and paintings that he has included in his bag, it is enough for him to be listed on Forbes 30 years later and aspire to the throne of "the world's richest man".

This does not include the seal stones, porcelains, and other miscellaneous things that he continued to buy afterwards.

If we take into account the countless profit opportunities brought about by the financial real estate and Internet technology era...

Who wants to say that he can still be poor in this life, even if he is destined to be swollen by reality.

It can be said that no matter how good a person in this world is, it may be possible to take away Ning Weimin's life, but it is difficult to take away his fortune.

This boy is the boy of good fortune who can turn stones into gold in this world, and he is the modern Shen Wansan holding a cornucopia.

To say that there are people in this world who can make more money than him, unless there is a second time traveler in this world.

But the problem is, there is another sentence in the line of collection.

That is called "hiding the ancients but not getting rich", or "greeding the ancients and not getting rich".

This sentence has two meanings.

The first is that collecting is too expensive. To play any genre, countless funds must be continuously invested in it.

How much financial resources do ordinary people have to support this hobby?
So there are some extreme examples, even if you sell iron, sell a car to buy a house, you still have to collect.

The second point is about collectors' reluctance to sell, only buying but not selling.

Many people think that collecting is about fate. If an artifact is sold, it may never be seen again in this life.

So it is very unacceptable for these people to give up their love and sell their collections for money.

That is, the more you buy, the poorer you become, and in the end you can't even maintain a normal family life.

It should be said that the love of these two kinds of people for collecting is beyond doubt, but it is also quite sad.

Because they are all too extreme.

One is to be attached to what has not been obtained, and the other is to be obsessed with what is already in hand.

With this "reluctance", it makes them feel like they have nothing no matter how much wealth they have.

You will always feel that you don't have enough money to spend, and you will always live in financial distress, like the life of the poor.

Frankly speaking, Ning Weimin never thought that he would make similar mistakes and fall into the same predicament since he bought the monkey ticket in this life.

Because one, the ability to earn money, he claims to be the best in the world, and he doesn't think that his money will not be enough.

These days, his salary alone is three thousand a month.

Although most of Song Huagui's salary has been paid to him in advance for buying modern calligraphy and painting, there is still a monthly bonus.

You know, it's because he pushed up the price of Pierre Caton's clothes and advocated to improve the treatment of non-sales staff.

His current bonus is nearly twice as high as his salary.

In addition, handicrafts such as left-over clothing, high-end tobacco and alcohol, silk figurines and stone carvings are all the bulk of his foreign money.

And there is also a small amount of money from the stamp market.

His average income of 10 yuan this month is no problem.

It can be said that he is the richest man in Beijing today, almost like having a money printing machine at home.

And secondly, he didn't think he would be so attached to these dead objects.

In his opinion, he is a philistine, and he does not have the obsession with antiques like those elegant people.

These things are bought to sell, and everything is a bargaining chip for speculation.

It's impossible to be a fool who sticks to Jinshan.

But the problem is that people are not as good as heaven.

In reality, he just became such a big fool, and he didn't escape any of these two problems.

The main reason is that he is too arrogant.

He never thought that there will always be unexpected situations in life, and the plan will not keep up with the changes.

I also forgot that human greed is boundless and will always be higher than human ability.

Aside from that, Qiao Wanlin opened the door of inventory in the arts and crafts industry for him this time, which made him feel the feeling of going up the mountain in a hunchback—money is tight.

This account should be explained in detail, it is calculated like this.

Originally, after the Spring Festival, Ning Weimin spent all the 50 accumulated last year in order to buy seal stones.

Then if you want cash again, you have to rely on him to accumulate again.

Later in April, I met Sun Wufu.

In order to resettle people, start a business and collect second-hand goods, he paid another 3 yuan in capital.

Then came the day to prepare the restaurant.

Originally, he had earned 27 to [-] in the past three months, and he still felt quite rich.

I think that plus the income in June, a small 40 yuan is enough to support a restaurant.

But it turned out that it wasn't the case.

First of all, there were many unexpected expenses, and the construction cost of the fasting palace also cost 18% more.That's [-] gone.

The second is to follow Qiao Wanlin around the handicraft factories to buy practical things for the restaurant.

What kind of printing factory, badge factory, palace lantern factory, material utensil factory, enamel factory, porcelain firing factory, Beijing handicraft factory, metalwork art factory, wood art carving factory...

After going around in this circle, he really didn't expect that there are too many good things in the warehouses of these factories.

And they are all cheap goods that are not easily seen outside.

Let alone the money spent on the joint venture restaurant, he just put in all his own money, which means it will be enough.

Just when he thought he had bought everything he needed to buy, he saw the news that Hong Kong city director Li Hanxiang had come to Beijing to film "Burning the Old Summer Palace" in the newspaper.

This made him suddenly think of the hot wood furniture investment.

Whether others mentioned the family history of the "Red Sandalwood King" who "eat the Tang monk's meat", or the private furniture collection of the Hong Kong director Li Hanxiang, they all couldn't do without the Beijing Hardwood Furniture Factory.

What was even more unexpected was that when he inquired with Qiao Wanlin, the hardwood furniture factory in Beijing was also a factory in the district.

I dare say that is the name changed by "Long Shuncheng" in the past.

Needless to say, then followed and went again.

Sure enough, Curry is full of hardwood furniture copied from the "sports" period.

At this time, the Jingcheng Hardwood Furniture Factory was writing letters to various academic groups, institutions, colleges, and cultural and art departments to sell the old furniture collected by the factory for 30 years at a very low price because of financial difficulties!
When Ning Weimin witnessed with his own eyes, there were dozens of huanghuali and red sandalwood canopy beds, countless tables, chairs and benches, and various debris piled up like a mountain.

Even the "Ming Huanghuali Platform Seat with Clay Support" and "Qing Kangxi Red Sandalwood Carved Chilong Pattern Painting Table" that Mr. Ma praised in the program are all in front of you.

When I heard that a pair of huanghuali armchairs only sold for 50 yuan.

May I ask if he can still be impatient?
At this time, he was both happy and anxious.

Fortunately, the furniture in Curry has not been seen by others.

Good things are all there, he should be the first to eat meat, that's for sure.

What's urgent is that he wants to buy it, and if he wants to successfully cut off other people's bullshit, the factory's asking price is at least 40!
He has spent all his money, and he already has eight thousand dollars to live in. Where will he raise such a large sum of money in a while?
Sell ​​something?

Not to mention that the things in his hand are sold at a loss at this time, and they won't be able to sell so much money for a while.His business is urgent.

Good guy, that's really another rush to raise money.

In the end, I had to follow the example of buying modern calligraphy and painting two years ago, borrowing money everywhere.

Thanks to Kang Shude and Zhang Shihui's help again, they raised [-] yuan.

His colleagues in the company have already improved a lot in their credibility and favorability, and they lent him [-] yuan.

And this time, Luo Guangliang and his little brothers raised [-] yuan.

Finally, he added a sum of money that should be paid to the clothing factory to get the goods, and he asked them to postpone the payment period for two months.

The most useful thing is to use the name of the joint venture restaurant as a guarantee, and agree with the hardwood furniture factory that the balance of [-] yuan will be paid three months later.

This is barely enough to scrape together 40 yuan to buy this batch of hard goods.

To be honest, this kid is very anxious.

Just like the last time I bought modern calligraphy and painting, I lost weight again, and finally became a debt.

Afterwards, even he himself scolded himself for eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, looking forward to Shu, never being satisfied.

But this is also impossible!
Don't say bad things, who can change this matter, who can take it easy and go ahead without knowing the difficulties?
This is all a good thing if you miss this village and you don't have this store. He can no longer watch these good things being bought by others.

Of course, some people may think that it seems that there is no need to spend a lot of money, and it is all because of Ning Weimin's extravagance.

He didn't have to be so greedy, so he wouldn't be in such embarrassment.

For example, he spent 3 yuan for repairing four palace lanterns, [-] yuan for the resumption of production of "Gaochang", and [-] yuan for Liu Yongqing's kiln and porcelain firing.

From the perspective of cost performance, the few sums of money he spent.

It is far less cost-effective than buying stamps, calligraphy and paintings, and seal stones before him, which seems silly and even a loss.

But the problem is that Ning Weimin also really feels that these good things, these good skills, like endangered species, should not disappear.

He was really obsessed with the beauty of these arts and crafts.

The wisdom and interest contained in these things actually moved him far more than antiques, calligraphy and painting, porcelain, and seal stones.

Because it is straightforward enough, and it is so close to life, anyone can feel the splendor of it.

But it is a pity that so many things that are so unbelievably beautiful that people have to be overwhelmed can only be produced by those extremely complex and difficult to master traditional arts and crafts techniques.

It is precisely because of our country's economic dilemma that we can't find a market position, and these skills are facing a situation of gradually being lost.

He was sure that if he didn't reach out for the money, he would never see these things again in the future.

He just wanted to try to protect these things and see how different it would be in the future.

Can this be considered greedy?
Ning Weimin didn't know.

Anyway, it was because of doing these few greedy and stupid things that made him extremely happy, and he slept soundly instead.

After traveling back for so long, it was the first time that he clearly felt that he seemed to be right. After many years, he would definitely not regret what happened today.

He didn't understand why.

Perhaps just like opening this joint venture restaurant, he had a vague expectation.

I hope that with my own intervention, the original history can be transformed in a better direction.

He even told his master about this idea, hoping to hear Kang Shuode's opinion.

Sure enough, the master is the master, and the old man thinks much better than he does.

"You kid, if you only count the money, it seems to be a loss right now. But you have to think, is the dead baby or the live baby important? Besides, are you buying only things? Not necessarily? I think there are at least some money in it." There are favors, righteousness, fame, and infinite possibilities in the future. You boy, how can you do business at a loss? Taking advantage is your instinct..."
