Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Gaojiacun has produced some Jinshi since the Song Dynasty, and the last scholar was admitted in the late Qing Dynasty.

Although the Gao family has a long history, it has never produced a particularly famous official, so it is not well-known. The Gao family's ancestral home, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, was also deliberately burned down by the Kuomintang during the Republic of China.

It was in the middle of the night when the fire broke out. People were sleepy and tired. After noticing the fire, everyone ran away in a hurry. Some people were able to get their livestock out quickly, but some people's pigs and chickens were too late to escape. Finally, along with the century-old house, Disappear together in the flames.

Under such circumstances, the villagers of Gaojia Village had almost nothing left over from their ancestors.

But Gaojiacun is an exception after all. Other villages were not affected by the disaster, but some things have been preserved to some extent. For example, the jars used to hold pickles may be porcelain from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the broken bowls used to feed dogs can all have great origins.

Especially in Xiaowang Village, the academic style in their village is very strong, and many people have more or less ancestral inkstones and ink ingots in their homes.

After Gao Mingcheng was short of money and couldn't smuggle, he simply chatted with Sai Yanfei about the current ways to make money.

In fact, Sai Yanfei is not an ordinary person, but a descendant of a capitalist. Her family was once very rich, but unfortunately it also suffered a lot later. When she was very young, she married Fan Chengyao, who was a soldier, so she was in that special era. Here, you can live a stable life.

Fan Chengyao protected her, but also cut off his own path to promotion, so now Fan Chengyao retired from the army and started a business.

In terms of business acumen, Gao Mingcheng may not be as good as Sai Yanfei in his entire life.

Now chatting with Sai Yanfei, his brain became active, and many ideas for making money came to mind.

Sai Yanfei said: "Xiangjiang has a small land but a large population. All kinds of industrial raw materials, food and water sources are in short supply! As long as there is a way to transport things to Xiangjiang, then there is no need to worry about selling them, and we will definitely make a lot of money." But, if you don’t have a background, you can’t do this business. In 83, someone openly brought a boatload of corn from the mainland to the Special Administrative Region to sell, and he made 300 million yuan on that trip!”

Gao Mingcheng knew who Sai Yanfei was talking about, but snakes have their own paths, and rats have their own ways. Some people start off like kings, and have a smooth life without worrying about food and drink. This is certainly enviable, but other people can also pass their own mistakes. Work hard and find your own way.

The road that Gao Mingcheng explored in his previous life is like a mountain road with eighteen bends. There are many potholes along the way, big and small. If you don't pay attention, you will fall into it.

In this life, Gao Mingcheng took a broad road and lived a life of peace and prosperity.

But people should be prepared for danger in times of peace. If they are too comfortable, they will easily encounter crises. No, Gao Mingcheng felt that money was a bit tight.

But he already had a way to make money, so he asked about the market price of ordinary antiques in Xiangjiang.

Sai Yanfei gave him a meaningful look.

Gao Mingcheng immediately said: "It's not just something that was dug out. I'm going to go to the surrounding villages and towns to collect a batch of old things after I go back."

Sai Yanfei understood, so he told Gao Mingcheng the relevant prices of those old items, and said: "I will make a list for you later, and it will clearly indicate which items are in demand. Please pay more attention when receiving the goods. "

"Okay, thanks!" Gao Mingcheng felt much more relaxed and thanked him with a smile.

Sai Yanfei added: "If you receive the goods, you can send them to Fan Chengyao. He will process them in batches and will never let you suffer."

"Okay, I will collect the goods after I go back this time." Gao Mingcheng said.

Seeing that it was getting late, Gao Mingcheng said goodbye and went back to his room to rest. As for Fan Licheng, he lived with Sai Yanfei in this luxurious suite.

The next day, Gao Mingcheng got the list from Sai Yanfei, which clearly stated the names of various old items and their corresponding market values.

Gao Mingcheng thanked him again, put the list away, and said goodbye to Fan Licheng. Before leaving, he smiled and said: "Licheng, when you go to the capital to buy a house, you have to remember one thing, that is, the closer to the Forbidden City, the better! "

Fan Licheng understands that in ancient times, only relatives of the emperor lived close to the palace!

"Uncle Gao, you have to work hard to make money and buy a house in the capital in the future. It's best to be my neighbor!" Fan Licheng said.

Gao Mingcheng burst out laughing and said, "Okay! I will definitely work hard to make money to buy a house in the capital!"

Sai Yanfei and Fan Chengyao were willing to go to the capital to buy a house in advance for Fan Licheng, and he was also willing to buy a house in advance for Xiao Xuxu. Maybe in the future, Xiao Xuxu would also be admitted to the capital to study, or even stay in the capital to work!

It is everyone's simplest hope that their descendants can become better and better from generation to generation.After Gao Mingcheng left, Fan Licheng looked up at Sai Yanfei and said, "Mom, how about we buy two adjacent houses, and when Uncle Gao gets rich, I will sell him one house, so that we can really live in the house." to be neighbors.”

Sai Yanfei, who loved his son, agreed without even thinking about it.

Perhaps it's because this little money is just a drop in the bucket to her.

At this time, Gao Mingcheng didn't know that there would be a big surprise waiting behind him.

This time Gao Mingcheng did not stay in Yangcheng for long. After loading the goods, he drove all the way back to the county.

As soon as he returned to the clothing store in the county, Huang Dazhi told him the latest gossip.

After hearing what Zhou Le did from Huang Dazhi's mouth, Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but sigh. This is indeed Zhou Le's style, like a neurotic and perverted poisonous snake.

Once Zhou Le leaves, he won't come back for at least a few years, so Gao Mingcheng has heard about him and forgotten about it, because now he has to run for money.

That night, he told Duomei about his plan to collect antiques in the county.

Many Maggis were supportive and said: "Two days ago, we received another letter from Deng Wanwan. She said that she is doing very well in the capital. The money she earns in one month is as much as her parents earned in ten years. It’s here!”

After hearing many beauties talking about Deng Wanwan, Gao Mingcheng immediately said: "Bring me the letter and show it to me!"

If there is much beauty, go and get the letter.

Gao Mingcheng unfolded the letter and read it from beginning to end.

Deng Wanwan wrote three pages, most of which were about her daily life. At the end of the letter, she said that during the Spring Festival this year, she and Wang Xun would come back to celebrate the New Year, hoping to get together with many beauties.

After reading the letter, Gao Mingcheng realized that Deng Wanwan and Wang Xun's business had expanded again!
In addition to picking up junk at low prices in the name of collecting rags, I also started to buy paintings by famous people. I have already bought a few of Lao Qi's shrimps and Lao Xu's horses.

And Deng Wanwan still said it in a complaining tone, because Wang Xun did not buy these paintings on his own initiative, but was coerced into buying them. If the seller refused to buy the paintings, he would not sell the ancestral blue and white pickle jars in his family. Sell ​​to them.

After reading the letter, Gao Mingcheng felt sour in his heart.

Lao Qi's shrimp and Lao Xu's horse are not worth much now. If they are sold seriously, it will be around [-], but if they are picked up, it will be much cheaper.

But even if you buy it for [-] yuan, if you keep it for ten years or so, the profit will definitely increase ten thousand times!
You know, one of Lao Qi's shrimps will be worth 120 million in future generations!
In addition to shrimps, Lao Qi's landscape paintings are also extremely famous and extremely valuable!
Sure enough, the prosperous capital city is full of gold!

Deng Wanwan's letter also inspired Gao Mingcheng's enthusiasm to collect old things and antiques.Although the capital is full of treasures, there are also many people picking them up.

This small county may not have a lot of treasures, but if you cast a net, you can always catch some fish and shrimps.

When the local antiques are collected, you can also go to nearby counties to collect them. As long as you receive a valuable item, the profit can be doubled by tens of thousands of times!
Gao Mingcheng returned the letter to Duomei, who folded it and put it back in a special box.

In fact, after the phone was installed in the store, Duomei called Deng Wanwan.

Speaking of which, it is naturally much more convenient to make a direct phone call than to write a letter, but words have a unique charm. Even after both parties can make a direct phone call, they still write letters back and forth.

Both parties tell some of their own experiences and some of their own little troubles in the letter, and then write down their thoughts and wishes for each other. In this way, an ordinary piece of letter paper carries a heavy emotion.

Years later, as time flies, the faces of familiar people have changed, and even their thoughts may have completely changed.

But the sincere feelings of that year can be permanently recorded through words.

Witness each other’s youth and struggles. (End of chapter)
