My system is not decent

Chapter 976

Compared with the South Vietnamese collectors I met before, this one is the real big collector.

Not to mention others, even Chen Wenzhe wanted to take a look at the collection of this great collector who could build his own library.

He has no time to go, and has no connections, so he can only find some useful information through the set of manuscripts in his hand and backtracking.

Being able to transcribe a complete set of South Vietnam Historical Records in the hands of this great collector naturally has an extraordinary relationship with him.

Therefore, during the process of copying the book, Chen Wenzhe also saw some anecdotes that the two of them talked about.

Through backtracking, Chen Wenzhe also learned a lot about this great collector.

A collector in the general impression should be a wealthy man with considerable capital.

However, Xu Huang, who entered South Vietnam for the first time in [-], was a small Taiwanese businessman who had failed in business and had financial difficulties.

Even the relevant knowledge of South Vietnamese literature and history, he learned almost from scratch.

At that time, because he failed in business in Wanwan, in order to make a comeback, he took 2000 US dollars and went to South Vietnam alone, while his wife and children stayed in Wanwan.

At first he was unable to understand the language, and it was very difficult at first.

At the beginning, he chose to investigate in Huming City. During this period, he walked around looking for business opportunities, and finally decided to start the business of introducing neon cosmetics.

In the cosmetics market in South Vietnam at that time, most of the most high-end cosmetics were mainly from Europe and the United States, and the products that were slightly inferior were products from neighboring countries in Southeast Asia, and the worst products were basically produced by small workshops.

He discovered that neon cosmetics had not yet been introduced to South Vietnam, and he suddenly felt that his chance had come.

In 50, he successfully set up cosmetic accessories counters in chain supermarkets, and he earned NT$[-] in the first month.

With the development of the store business, he had the opportunity to travel around in the long and narrow land of South Vietnam, and his footprints were all over the corners of Vietnam.

During this process, he must have been very lonely, so he wanted to buy old books to pass the time, but he did not expect to buy a national treasure of Nanyue.

Seeing the steady improvement of his career, Xu Huang also has more energy to do what he likes, and classical books and cultural relics are his favorite.

Once, at an old bookstall, he was just looking for Chinese books, but unexpectedly found that there were many thread-bound Chinese ancient books in South Vietnam.

Xu Huang, who studied in Wanbei when he was a student, recalled that he saw the sale of thread-bound books on Guling Street. The price of a thread-bound book in the 60s could reach about 3000 Taiwan dollars. , and only more than 6000 Taiwan dollars.

Based on the keen sense of smell of a businessman, Xu Huang faintly sensed the potential value that these ancient books might contain!
When he started buying those books, he didn't have such a noble purpose, at least he didn't do it for collection.

Those books are commodities to him, as long as they have a price, they are commodities.

His purpose is also very simple, he just wants to buy back Wanwan, then find a suitable buyer, and resell it to make money.

It is precisely because of this idea that he thinks it is a profitable thing, so he spends so much money to buy all the ancient Chinese books on the Jiushu Street. He bought about 20 books for the first time.

The boss also saw that he spent a lot of money, and the two parties made an appointment, and if the boss had something good, he would be notified in time.

Sure enough, the next day, the proprietress of the old bookstall called him.

On the phone, the proprietress said that there was a very special batch of goods, and she wanted Xu Huang to have a look.

Xu didn't think too much, since there are good products, he must not miss them.

When he arrived at the scene, the thing that caught his eyes was very special. It was wrapped in old newspapers, and it looked like a memorial.

He couldn't wait to go forward and read it carefully, and saw the year name "Side". He recalled the history he had read, but he didn't seem to have any impression.

And at that time, he didn't know the history of South Vietnam, so he casually asked the proprietress where these things came from.

The proprietress swore that it was from South Vietnam, but he couldn't understand the Chinese characters on it, and he didn't know anything else.

She casually offered Xu Huang a price of 1 US dollars, which shocked Xu Huang, because more than 5 years ago, this amount of money was very scary.

Seeing the tattered documents, Xu Huang thought to himself: "Is the proprietress crazy? Treating him as a fool is not the way to make money! Could it be bullying foreigners and trying to cheat money?" ?”

He said casually that he didn't have that much money.

The proprietress said: "Otherwise, you can make a price!"

Xu Huang gambled on his luck, saying that he only had $3000 in cash.

I thought that if it was true, maybe I could make some money by reselling it, and if it was fake, then I would pay for it and learn a lesson.

Unexpectedly, the proprietress agreed to him very readily.
Xu Huang's first reaction was that he might have been cheated, but he still had a chance to take the things back to Wanwan to find someone to identify them.

Bringing these things back to Taiwan, he thought he could make a lot of money, but in the end it turned him from a businessman into a collector.

When I bought this batch of things, I was very apprehensive.

But what was even more bizarre was that the proprietress called him in a hurry the next day, saying that she wanted to increase the price by one thousand dollars to buy it back.

However, Xu Huang, who has a business mind, also sensed that something was wrong, and immediately rejected the proprietress's proposal.

At this time, the proprietress was nervous and kept increasing the price to US$1.

Xu Huang finally couldn't help it, and told the proprietress that the things had been sent out of Nanyue.

Conversely, he asked why the attitude of the proprietress changed from actively selling to wanting to buy it back regardless of the cost after only one day?

Seeing that there was no hope of repurchase, the proprietress told the whole story.

It turned out that there was a president of Hu Ming National University who used 1500 US dollars to buy these ancient documents.

The proprietress remembered that Xu Huang had bought a large number of Chinese documents, so she also called him to recommend them.

Unexpectedly, Xu Huang sold it foolishly when his bid was twice as high.

But after selling it, she asked the principal unwillingly.

The principal was shocked when he learned that the "National Treasure" had been sold to others, and he asked the proprietress to buy it back no matter how much it cost.

At this time, the proprietress knew that she had made a loss-making business.

Only then did Xu Huang know that he had bought an important ancient document.

In fact, there is a difference between the Nanyue people and the Wanwan people. The Nanyue people don’t know Chinese characters yet, but the Wanwan people can.

Especially for traditional characters, people in Wanwan are more familiar with it.

Even if Xu Huang didn't know the authenticity of the things at the beginning, he could see the contents inside.

Those Chinese characters are not difficult to understand for people who have received classical Chinese education.

He could literally see that the things he bought were memorials and approvals of many South Vietnamese emperors, but he was not sure before that it was true!
