National Tide 1980.

Chapter 970 Sweep
In the "Tea House" written by Lao She, the shopkeeper Lao Wang once said such a sentence.

"When I had teeth in the early years, there were no peanut kernels to eat. Now there are peanut kernels, and I have no teeth again."

This line is undoubtedly trying to declare to people a very important philosophy of life.

In fact, it is difficult to have the best of both worlds in life, and it is unlikely that everything will be thoughtful, and everything you want will come true, and nothing will wait until you are ready.

Of course, the reverse can also explain another equivalent problem.

That is, if there is someone who can get what he wants, and has what he lacks, then he is the happiest person in the world.

Are there such people in the world?

Yes, Ning Weimin is that.

For him now, because he has a platform to give full play to his personal abilities after going abroad, it is no longer a big deal to earn more money.

This kid's assets in Japan, because they are located in the global financial outlet, have ushered in Japan's interest rate cut cycle.

Under the irrigation of the Bank of Japan's opening of the gates and water release, it is thriving almost every day, wishing to rise in value at a 45-degree angle.

To say that he is not afraid of being tongue-tied by the strong wind, even if he lies flat, he can earn one or two domestic small and medium-sized factories a day.

We dare not say that the country is as rich as the enemy, but the county as rich as the enemy should be qualified.

So even in China, there is still Yin Yue who is willing to serve Ning Weimin as a rake for raising money, a jar for saving money, and an abacus for managing accounts.

He didn't let him worry about it at all, and saved him another [-] million in cash.

But on the fifth day of the fifth day of the lunar new year, Ning Weimin was still calm after reading the accounts, without much excitement.

To put it bluntly, he didn't take this small amount of money very seriously.

Whether it is 100 million or 200 million, for him, it is not much different.

Anyway, knowing that your industry is making money and not losing money is enough.

In comparison, he actually cared more about how to spend the money he earned in the right way.

As we all know, there is a problem of devaluation of currency.

So if the wealth reaches a certain level, how to manage your existing wealth well may be more important than running the business itself.

In particular, the current domestic environment is no better than that of overseas countries. Although there are fewer taxes, there are many restrictions and lack of investment channels.

And contrary to the Japanese currency, the RMB has started a long-term depreciation cycle.

If you really put the money you earn in the domestic bank, no matter how much interest you pay, it is actually very uncomfortable.

The best thing is that no matter how much money Ning Weimin earns, he can immediately digest the cash reasonably and strengthen his wealth foundation step by step. That is a nourishment.

But the question is how easy is it?
There are only two reasonable places for money to go.

It doesn't matter what Ning Weimin said about expanding investment in the real economy.

Whether he can do it or not depends on the policy in the end.

If the time is not ripe, you have to wait, otherwise, if you take a step forward, you will definitely be in trouble.

And relying on buying things to preserve value is not satisfactory.

Now, no more than in the past few years, there are not many suitable targets.

Like buying a private house, you have to try your luck, which is a sporadic transaction.

Because Ning Weimin bought too much in the first few years, the prices of calligraphy, paintings and seal stones have skyrocketed.

Buying stamps is still a good way, but this matter can't be rushed for success. If you want to get a good price, you have to accumulate money slowly, which can't keep up with Yin Yue's speed of making money for him.

So to be honest, making the best use of one's money in the country and achieving a virtuous circle to the greatest extent, even Ning Weimin himself thinks it is a luxury.

But speaking of it, it's purely evil, God seems to be particularly partial to Ning Weimin, he really loves him as his own son.

As if he was afraid that he would be unhappy, through the pretext of donating cultural relics, through the mouth of the leader of the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau, a huge treasure house that was at a low value was placed in front of him again.

That is the many cultural relics sold in the "Hongguang Pavilion".

There is no doubt that for anyone who is lucky enough to have access to cultural relics collections, the inner cabinets of cultural relics stores that have just opened to society are very attractive.

Because this is one of the few legal channels for ordinary people to buy cultural relics in this era.

However, it has to be said that the change of "Hongguang Pavilion" from the outer cabinet to the inner cabinet at that time was specially reported by "News Network" and even appeared on the front page of "Beijing Evening News", but it did not draw widespread attention from society.

The reason is very simple. Even for those who know about antiquities and love to collect them, it is not an easy task to make up your mind to spend hundreds of dollars to buy a cultural relic.
Don't forget that at this time, ordinary people in the capital were still working hard to improve their material living standards.

And these things placed in the cultural relics store are, after all, needs beyond the necessities of life.

Even for Mr. Ma, who has just had a glimpse of antiques at this time and started to pick up leaks, it is the same.

In fact, according to the memory of the master himself in the program in the future, although he often visited the inner cabinet of "Hongguang Pavilion" back then, he only went to look at it and rarely bought it.

Maybe go eight times out of ten times, and only one time is shopping.

So in this way, Ning Weimin is the happiest person in the world.

Compared with others, he not only has money in his hands, but also has a place to put it, and he also has human relationships, which is indeed the right time, place and people.

Especially after he went there, he saw with his own eyes that the things there were so cheap and so good.

A pair of eyes is not enough, and I wish I could move all my belongings home.

Even Kang Shude, who accompanied him, was full of joy when he was shopping, his eyes were full of light, and he was really happy for his apprentice to pick up the big leak.

As for the quality and price of cultural relics mentioned, it is really a bargain.

Don't forget, the trade of cultural relics in the past was not liberalized, and the prices were not raised by foreigners at all.

And now let it go, because no one wants to open the inner cabinet.

The initial price cannot be set too high, and even because of the rush to cash out, it is [-]% lower than the price sold to foreigners.

For example, a Yongzheng official kiln pastel bowl can be bought for only 350 yuan, and it has to be a relatively good quality.

If there are "collapse" and "rush", if there is a problem, you may even be able to buy it for a hundred or ten dollars.

But in Ning Weimin's eyes, such a thing would cost 800 million yuan in the future.

You may not be able to buy a very good product, which is really different.

What about "Jiadao"?Of course, it is a little worse, basically dozens of yuan lower than that of "Yonggan".

"Tongguang" official kilns are even cheaper.

23cmx7cm的盘碗才三百，16cmx7cm的一百二，10cmx5cm的五十，8cmx3cm的二十。

As for "Guangmin", even if it is a large piece, it is only above fifty.

You have to move home in piles, and a cartload of household items will only cost 2 yuan.

There is a word called "Happy to miss Shu", probably it is the most appropriate to describe Kang Shude and Ning Weimin's mentor and apprentice at this time.

So they were not polite, relying on the note given by the leader in their hands, it was like a big sweep to pick goods.

As for what to buy?
It must be from top to bottom, first pick the good ones and buy them.

Among other things, the first prerequisite must be to keep an eye on official kilns.

Then they are sorted according to the year, kiln mouth, whether it is a complete set, and the purpose of the appliance.

Good guy, these guys pick up things, it's really like buying piles of vegetables in the vegetable market.

The five offerings in front of the hall are required in complete sets, and the bowls of the third dynasties of the Qing Dynasty are bought on the basis of stacks.

What watermelon cans, general cans, sun and moon cans, flower mouth cans...

What wall vases, plum vases, garlic vases, anchovy vases...

What Guanyin Zun, Niutou Zun, Carrot Zun, Taibai Zun...

What back pot, pear pot, Boshan stove...

What are lying foot bowls, high foot bowls, clean water bowls...

What stem cups, chicken bowl cups, hand cups...

Whenever I saw official kiln porcelain from the years of "Yongqian" and "Jiadao", they were killed and never let go, and they were all taken down.

From the manager to the clerk in the Hongguang Pavilion, have you ever seen such a wealthy owner who buys things like this?
That's really frustrating to be disturbed by these father and son.

In the beginning, it also adopted the method of posting notes from person to person.

That is to say, when the customer picks something, a clerk will first use a note to post a note on the item, which means that if it is sold, other customers will not be able to buy it again.

It was later discovered that it was not working.

Because the speed of sticking the stickers couldn't keep up with the old and the young.

There were too many things they wanted to buy, and they quickly confused the people in Hongguang Pavilion, and stopped choosing for a while.

Until Ning Weimin showed the blank check, Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao who accompanied them showed two boxes of banknotes.

Only the manager of Hongguang Pavilion can confirm that these people are not joking, but really want to buy it.

However, the rules had to be changed after buying and selling. After persuading a few individual customers in the store, there was nothing else, and the store was closed, and it was dedicated to serving Ning Weimin and his group to choose things.

But that's it, the whole store is also very busy, because the accountant has to settle the accounts, and the clerk has to be responsible for packing the boxes.

See you in the afternoon when all the statistics are finished.

In total, Ning Weimin and the others selected 960 four pieces, and bought out one-tenth of the store, with a total price of 27.

Then think about it, the work of packaging alone is not a small project.

So it's all over, Ning Weimin counted out all the cash.

The manager of Hongguang Pavilion couldn't help but wiped his sweat, and hung up the phone to the superior, asking for instructions to let someone buy it in this way.

The ones that are going to be sold are all high-quality goods.

To say that the leader is really awesome, not only nod and give instructions.

Moreover, he asked the manager to give Ning Weimin another discount, only charging him 25 yuan.

Then the leader of the Municipal Bureau asked the manager to pass the phone call to Ning Weimin, expressing his gratitude to him for supporting the work of the Bureau of Cultural Relics.

Finally, by the way, I also informed him that the cultural relics company still has a Dunhua Pavilion, and there are many good things.

If you are interested, invite Ning Weimin to visit there another day.

Look, this is the value of human affection, so can you live up to the kindness of the leader?

Nothing else, you must go!
But it's not over yet, Ning Weimin is satisfied, but before leaving, he let Kang Shude pick up a big leak.

The old man Ganqing heard from the manager of Hongguang Pavilion that there are some big things in the store at the back, so he wanted to take a look.

It turned out that it didn't matter at first glance, but it turned out to be a pair of flat peach trees planted in large pastel pots.

He came out to inquire about the price, and when he heard that it cost four thousand, he wanted to buy it again, so he immediately urged Ning Weimin to count the money.

At that time, Ning Weimin still didn't understand.

Because he went in and took a look, although the pair of feeders were genuine, they were well done.

The peach tree is lifelike, the flowers and leaves glow with fluorescence, shiny and smooth.

It's so realistic and beautiful, and at a glance, it is the word "beautiful".

But the problem is that the feeder is still a feeder after all. This thing is made of glass, not gemstones, and its history is too limited.

Think about it, in order to replace gem bonsai, it only appeared in the middle of Qing Dynasty.

Even if you count it as an antique, it won't be too early.

four thousand?

You can buy ten large pieces of official kiln porcelain from the Yongqian period, and they are in good condition.

Just buy this thing, is it a loss?

Among other things, under Ning Weimin's command, there is a material master like Master Jiang.

If he wants this kind of thing, his own people can burn it out, so the cost must be much lower.

What's more, this thing is too big.

The height of the tree alone is only 1.5 meters, and the branches stretch out and occupy a lot of space. Together with the large glass cover, it is placed on the ground.

A pot of feeder occupies an area of ​​almost two square meters and weighs less than two hundred catties.

In addition, this thing is too delicate, and there is no place that is not afraid of bumps.

As long as you are not paying attention, one mistake will be disabled.

This thing has to be transported back, hey, most people have to worry about death, how can people get it home?
Although Ning Weimin was well prepared, today Luo Guangliang and Xiaotao came here on a scooter, ready to take the goods away

But just pulling this thing, it is estimated that one pot will take up a car, and the two cars have to go alone, which is a bit unfair.

In short, how to think about how to lose money panicked, so Ning Weimin was a little unhappy, and tactfully advised Master whether to reconsider, saying that buying such a thing is too troublesome to carry.

Unexpectedly, Kang Shude stared straight at him with raised eyebrows, and said unceremoniously, "The flat peach tree represents longevity. It's a good fortune, and I like this auspiciousness. What's the matter? I can't buy it?"

Now Ning Weimin knew that something was wrong, and he didn't dare to object any more, so he quickly endured the pain and took out four stacks of banknotes to pay the bill.

Then, following Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao, under the command of the old man, they wrapped the pair of peach trees with a glass cover in a thick quilt.Carefully lifted onto the tricycle, decided to transport the pair first.

To be honest, it took a lot of effort to run this trip.

If you think about it, you will know that something weighing more than 200 kilograms is still so delicate.

Can the person who transports this thing not suffer?
Don't look at transporting by car, but the pedals can't be fast, and someone needs to be supported on the car if there is nothing.

It's really similar to the living ancestors who carry two things.

But having said that, when they left the gate of Hongguang Pavilion, the four of them guarded the pair of things and went on the road. Ning Weimin finally knew what was going on from the old man, and he immediately didn't feel that this trip It's a loss.

Not for anything else, just because the flat peach tree that Kang Shuode brought back was not ordinary, the old man said it belonged to the Empress Dowager.

As for why he said that, what basis does the old man have?

Of course there is a basis for that.

First of all, such a large feeder is rare among the people, and only the imperial factory dedicated to the palace can make it.

In addition, the pastel flower pots conform to the characteristics of the Tongzhi and Guangxu periods, and the natural ages match.

The most important thing is that the queen mother has a habit of requiring the porcelain she uses to be signed with the name of the palace where she once lived.

Although most people in the world know that "Chuxiu Palace" is her residence, few people know that "Tihe Palace" is the place where the Empress Dowager eats.

On the edge of the flower pot, there is exactly the words "Tihe Dian", although it is very small, it is still recognizable.

But why didn't the people in Hongguang Pavilion discover this?

According to the old man's deduction, most of the items with the words "Tihe Dian" found so far should be tableware, and there are very few large utensils with these three words.

In addition, things like feeders are easy to be careless.

Even Ning Weimin knew that feeding utensils didn't have much history, and of course the people in Hongguang Pavilion knew it too, and definitely didn't take it seriously.

Finally, combined with the special theme of this flat peach tree, combined with historical records, it can be inferred.

According to records, Empress Dowager Cixi spent 50 taels of silver on her 15000th birthday, 60 taels of silver on her 121100th birthday, and 70 taels of silver on her 38500th birthday.All of them fired a large number of porcelain, decorations and feeding utensils.

So this thing, no accident, should be specially made for the birthday of Empress Dowager Cixi.

And it is a decoration specially placed in the "Tianhe Hall".

As for when it was burned, there is a more ingenious way, as long as you count the number of flat peaches on the tree, you can probably know.

Having said that, except for Kang Shude himself, all the young people immediately became interested.

Under the urging of Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao, Ning Weimin counted down and found that it was true!
Each tree is exactly sixty peaches!

This time he was beautiful, not only did he not feel tired at all, but his depression disappeared.

On the contrary, he regained his energy and began to chatter complacently.

"Oh, this is the Empress Dowager's property, and it will never be seen again. In my opinion, it is considered a national treasure, four thousand, which is a good deal. I said, Master, there are so many things in the Hongguang Pavilion, why do you just buy them?" It can be seen that these two things are not ordinary. The eyes are sharp. Hey, we are lucky today. Look at this luck..."

However, the old man was extremely shameless and deliberately provoked him.

"Is this luck? I rely on my eyesight! You boy, you really have a pair of white eyeballs, and the more you live, the more you go back. Of course, it's up to me, I shouldn't accept you as an apprentice who relies on luck. Listen , You pay for this thing, but it’s not your share, don’t worry about it. I’ll donate it when you get tired of it someday. Who told you to slack off your studies, there’s always nothing real in your belly, shame on you panic..."

The harm is not great, but the insult is extremely strong, and a person's self-esteem cannot be hurt like this.

Ning Weimin was speechless after being scolded, as bleak as a flower, as dejected as a glass of wine.
