The First Warlord of the Republic of China

.

spn At the same time, Jiang Yu also built several super-large antique warehouses for himself. When Jiang Yu went to inspect the antique warehouse in Huai'an, he found that the warehouse was full of various antiques.

The grades of these antiques range from high to low, and there are a large number of middle and low-grade antiques.

"One-third of the antiques controlled by the entire consortium are stored in this warehouse, and the value can be estimated temporarily." Bai Li'an, who is in charge of the antique business, introduced, and then sighed, "But I'm ashamed to say that after following the young master for so many years, my subordinates The responsible antique business has never brought much cash profit to the young owner.”

"Bai Lao is polite. Antiques can only be sold at the right time and at the right place at the highest price. Although we have no cash profit, we have more and more antiques. We can sell them at any time. The price of any kind of antique will go up." Jiang Yu smiled slightly and comforted the old man in front of him.

Bai Li'an is engaged in technical work, and when purchasing antiques, one has to identify the authenticity. China has a long history of counterfeiting antiques, and it is impossible without a good shopkeeper. [

Especially for the consortium, what is needed is not just a shopkeeper, but a big shopkeeper, and Bai Li'an has done a very good job.

Not only is it coordinating the business of antiques, jade, and precious wood, but it has also cultivated many related talents for the consortium.

"Recently, we are hyping up the price of jadeite. Before that, we swept up the jadeite in the market. In addition, we have full control over all the jadeite mines in the southwest. Now the price of jadeite has skyrocketed three times compared to three months ago." Bai Lian Said to Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu nodded with a smile.

The price of jadeite was not high before, but it was only raised because Cixi liked jadeite.In history, Song Meiling, the wife of Chiang Kai-shek in modern times, also liked jadeite very much, so the price was raised again.

This is the effect of upward and downward effects in Chinese society.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a monarch who liked to wear purple clothes. As a result, purple clothes were popular all over the country.After the monarch discovered this problem, one day he publicly said that purple clothes were too bad, and then he began to stop wearing purple clothes. As a result, the society quickly stopped wearing purple clothes.

This is a blind obedience mentality.

Or called the embodiment of the herd effect.

However, this effect is an important part of the consortium's money-making process, from speculating on the price of certain luxury goods to stocks, bonds, etc.

The mode of the consortium to make money is not to buy low and sell high.

Before hype, first sweep all the products that can be seen in the market and are about to be hyped, and buy them all.Then mobilize channels such as public opinion and contacts to hype these products.

Jade Jade has clearly lived up to the hype.

First of all, since the Republic of China signed a border agreement with the United Kingdom, the northern and northeastern mountainous areas of Myanmar were included in the territory of the Republic of China, and then the emerald jade veins were all controlled by the consortium of Jiangyu, and they were monopolized at the source of supply.

Then the consortium used the same time to sweep up the jadeite jade in the market, and then announced a limited supply of jadeite jade, which naturally caused the price of jadeite to rise sharply.

At this time, in the jewelry industry of the Republic of China, the operation of jadeite products was completely monopolized by the jewelry companies of the consortium, because other jewelry companies could not buy raw materials.

Now that the price of jade has risen sharply, profits have naturally skyrocketed.

"Good job, how is the monopoly of precious wood going?" Jiang Yu nodded, and then asked about the precious wood.

"Most of the existing reserves of the most valuable small-leaved red sandalwood, yellow rosewood, and lower-grade red rosewood, ebony, black rosewood, white rosewood, chicken wing wood, rosewood, etc. have been controlled by us. However, the finished products on the market have not yet been fully purchased, but they will soon." Bai Lianhui reported. [

These precious woods are basically grown in tropical regions, namely Hainan, Indochina Peninsula, Nanyang Islands and India.

"In addition, many people in Vietnam and other places use precious wood to build houses. In their local area, these woods are very cheap. We have now started to buy the boards of these wooden houses."

To play antiques is to take one step and count three steps.

While the consortium controls the precious timber reserves in the tropics, that is, those trees that still grow in the forest, they must also fully pick up the leaks.

In terms of the financial resources of the consortium, it is completely affordable to buy and store these things that can become luxury goods.

Even if it takes 100 years to appreciate, the consortium can afford it.

"For the Indian areas controlled by the temporary law, we adopt a comprehensive logging policy, that is, all the valuable tree species in the Indian area will be cut down..."

In fact, the consortium controls those precious tree species, and the state also comes forward to position a certain precious wood as a protected tree species and prohibit private logging.

The state controls these resources, just as the consortium controls these resources.Because the country's money, after being spent, is the money of the consortium.

The areas that cannot be controlled for the time being will be cut down to maintain the monopoly position of the consortium in terms of supply.

In its own territory, these resources are protected and allowed to continue to grow. At the same time, the consortium also planted a large number of these rare tree species.

The predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade!

The consortium's antique business is also relatively comprehensive, and there are also many collections of current items.

Although many things do not seem to be antiques today, they will be antiques in a hundred years, or even a few decades.

Among them, calligraphy and painting works are more important.

Such as Zhang Daqian, Qi Baishi and other modern masters who are still alive, once their paintings are published, the consortium will inevitably buy them up vigorously. After their death, these paintings and calligraphy will be even more valuable.

Of course, the consortium will not be as blatant as Westerners do, insisting on waiting for people to die, and then calling those things that have no artistic value as works of art.

If the consortium wants to hype, it must also ensure the quality, and non-masters will not speculate.

And in front of the master, they will still be given a high reputation.Famous before their lives, their paintings are worth more after death.

I saw all kinds of antiques in the warehouse, and each type of antique was specially listed for storage, ranging from calligraphy and painting to porcelain, from porcelain to jade, bronze and so on.

At this time, Jiang Yu saw a luminous pearl and felt very good, so he stared at it for a while.

"This night pearl was picked out from the mouth of that witch Cixi." Bai Li'an introduced. [

"Uh..." Jiang Yu was a little stunned. Since he took control of the Republic of China, the imperial tombs of the Qing Dynasty had been dug by Jiang Yu secretly.

Moreover, the army was directly transferred to dig, in name...repair!

The Ming Tombs were once stolen by the Man Qing under this pretext. When the Qing Dynasty was repairing the buildings, they suddenly found that the huanghuali wood was not enough and there was no stock, so they took the huanghuali wood from the Ming Tombs in the name of the Ming Tombs. The wood was stolen.

Jiang Yu once stripped all the tombs of the imperial mausoleums of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and then repaired the outside casually, so that no traces can be seen from the outside.

After all, no one would go to the grave to verify whether it was stolen.

After digging the imperial tombs of the Qing Dynasty, a large number of funerary objects were unearthed, all of which were top-grade antiques.

"How is the archaeological work on the Manchu royal family going?" Jiang Yu hadn't asked for a long time when he thought of the Manchu tomb.

"The archaeological work is progressing in an all-round way. The tombs of princes, county kings, and officials of the Manchu and Qing dynasties are being carried out one after another." Bai Li'an replied calmly: "Many cultural relics have been unearthed. Significant progress has been made, but some unclean things have been encountered, and now Taoist priests are invited to sit on the scene."

The so-called archaeological work is not tomb robbery.

And it's a complete grave robbery.

In the tombs of the Qing Dynasty, not to mention those princes and county kings, even the tombs of ordinary county officials often see many valuable things.

All over the country, the corpses of Qing Dynasty officials whose bodies did not rot are often dug up.

During this period, the removal of corpses in China was the most serious period of scourge.

Zombies become fine in 100 years, monsters in 200 years, and demons in 300 years. The zombies in the Republic of China were all corpses. Many corpses were buried in the dark place, and they would not rot and become zombies after a long time.

In some cases, people took an extra breath after death. In this case, the corpse may change on the spot.

There are too many unclean things like zombies in China in this era, almost everywhere.This is mainly due to the direct burial in the old days, not cremation.

In the case of cremation in later generations, in some places, the corpses were first buried in the ground, and then the graves were opened to pick up the bones after the corpses rotted. And the nails are long.

But things like zombies are quite normal in themselves.

The earth qi has the qi of prosperity, and naturally also has the qi of yin and evil.Taoist officials from all over the country are now focusing on dealing with these unclean things, and the cremation system is also popularizing.

The government also secretly set up an extermination team, equipped with powerful firearms, and cooperated with priests who specialize in subjugating demons.In fact, these zombies are not blood-sucking as rumored, but attack strangers instinctively. The traditional explanation is to fight against Hades.

Zombies are invulnerable at advanced points, and can only be completely destroyed by fire.

Traditionally, the ones that restrain zombies are those masculine things, such as black dog blood. Black dog blood is not a dirty thing, but something full of yang energy.

Folks use black dog blood to deal with some monsters, which is to use yang to break yin.

If it can't be broken, it means it's not a yin thing.

These methods are all generated from the traditional analogy thinking. Grasping the principle of yang energy restraining yin, you can find various means of restraint.

As for why the blood of black dogs must be used, dogs of other colors are not used, because dog blood itself is positive, black dogs are black on the outside, and water is negative on the outside. Positive.

……

Jiang Yu visited the warehouse for more than an hour, and told Bai Li'an: "Sell these antiques when they are about the same value! Try to sell more high-priced antiques before the bubble economy bursts."

"Will some things sell at a loss?" Bai Li'an asked hesitantly.

"No, even if you lose money, you still make a profit. If these antiques are sold, we can take back more antiques, and at a low price." Jiang Yu said, the reason why he asked Bai Li'an to increase the participation in the antique market The supply is mainly to get more 'bosses'.

Antiques are only valuable in the prosperous age.

In troubled times, there is no literature.

Similarly, in times of peace, they are only valuable during times of economic prosperity, and during the Great Depression, they are worthless at all, because no one has much money to buy these antiques at this time.

At this time, those bosses have bought a lot of antiques and are in urgent need of money. What will happen at this time?

You must know that antiques are not easy to realize in themselves, there must be channels, and at the same time, it is easy to realize in economic prosperity.

During the economic depression, it means that the money for those bosses to buy antiques is locked up.

At this time, there are many bankrupt people, and the antiques in their hands belong to the bank, and they will all be collected, and then returned to the consortium.

"In addition, I will ask the members of the East China Chamber of Commerce to buy more antiques and put them at home. In addition, tomorrow you choose a batch of antiques that you want to hype and send them to my home, and report them in the newspaper." Jiang Yu said to Bai Li'an, as the consortium controlled Those who have to be more qualified.

Reporting that I bought antiques today, and what antiques I bought tomorrow, this is the phenomenon of making full use of the phenomenon of upper and lower effects to hype those antiques.

In fact, Jiang Yu was not interested in these antiques, but it would be nice to have some exquisite antiques as decorations at home.

Jiang Yu only pays attention to the artistic value in terms of antiques, and doesn't care about the age.

In his view, antiques are edible and inedible, and useless.

That's why Jiang Yu tried to fool those private bosses into buying antiques. When those bosses bought a bunch of inedible things and went home and needed money urgently, they couldn't cash it out, and the result was bankruptcy. (To be continued.
