National Tide 1980

In these days, because there is no legal trading market, the channels for selling folk cultural relics are particularly single.

Ordinary people have almost no other place to sell things except sending them to cultural relics stores. This is the only legal channel.

If you have to sell it elsewhere, it is not only speculative, but also a violation of national laws.

The key is that not many units and people dare to ask for it, and everyone is afraid of getting into trouble.

Therefore, it is precisely because of this state-led purchase and sale policy that the prices of all cultural and antique items are tightly restricted.

No matter how good something is, its value must be determined by the state.

The country says this thing is worth whatever it is worth.

This is the reason why Ning Weimin was in need of money last time and sent a pair of gourd bottles to Yungu Zhai. He turned around and left when he heard that the price was not suitable, and did not go to other places to ask for prices after that.

No idea, but there are too few choices in where to take action.

Ning Weimin didn't have Kang Shude's ability to lure people into taking the bait, so he had the ability to make the store rush to ask for a purchase.

According to his estimation, anyone who looks at his young appearance will despise him.

What if everyone acted like a gentleman in front of him and took out a mimeographed book with market prices?

Then he pointed at it and said that his things were worth two hundred and fifty, and he would be so angry that he was half-dead.

I was reluctant to part with it since I couldn't sell it for much money.

Why should he be like Bai Jingqi in the leather robe in "The Mansion Gate", spinning around in circles looking for anger?

Just pull it down.

But then again, he is him, and others are others.

Although he didn't have Mr. Kang's ability, Ning Weimin could raise the money from elsewhere. What would he do if it were someone else?

Basically, whoever comes out to sell things does so because they are short of money?

If you really can't find someone to scratch at, then I'm afraid you'll have to sell it to a cultural relics store.

But this involves another difficulty.

Even if you don't care about the price, it's not that easy to sell things smoothly.

It also depends on whether the seller can find the right place.

You should know that the state has very strict regulations regarding the management of cultural antiquities.

The business scope of each store is very different and clearly divided, and mixed operations must not be allowed.

In the capital city as a whole, Dongsi and Bamiancao have acquisition departments dedicated to the foreign trade department’s acquisition of jewelry, diamonds and jade.

In Xinjiekou, Xidan and Liulichang, there are purchasing departments for cultural relics stores that purchase calligraphy, painting and porcelain.

Gold and silver jewelry must be purchased by the People's Bank of China.

There are trust stores scattered in almost every busy city, which actually specialize in collecting used items for daily use.

For example, fur coats, photographic equipment, bicycles and other items, or wooden furniture.

Almost everything you don't need in life can be sent to trust stores.

If we focus on Liulichang, the "professional" antique street in Beijing, we will be able to classify it in even greater detail.

Yunguzhai, a subsidiary of the cultural relics store, is the Jinshi Ceramics sales department.

Cuizhenzhai is a modern ceramics sales department.

Qingyuntang is the sales department of stele and post in the past dynasties.

Baoguzhai is a calligraphy and painting sales department in the past dynasties.

There is also Cuiwenge Engraving Society, which specializes in stamp materials.

As for stores outside the cultural relics store system, only Rong Baozhai and Jingcheng Painting Store, both affiliated with the Fine Arts Publishing House, have the power to purchase and sell calligraphy and paintings on their own.

How about it? Complex or not?

Think about it, how do ordinary people understand this?

Especially for those who want to sell something for the first time, they must be confused and confused.

Once you excitedly come to Liulichang with your things, nine out of ten times you will find that you are looking for them in the wrong place.

In this case, it cannot be sold and will definitely be turned away by the store clerk.

If you meet someone with a better attitude, they may even tell you where to sell it and which store to find.

If you encounter a loser who is in a bad mood, just say "I won't accept it" and he will be dismissed.

Are you anxious? Love is in a hurry.

Your difficulties are none of his business anyway.

Therefore, when encountering this kind of situation, the seller often has no choice but to sell the items to the trust store at a low price because he does not know what to do next.

Or they just sold the scrap products out of anger.

Of course, a few years later, they will definitely regret and regret their original hasty behavior even more.

What if someone knows the difference between stores, or if you are lucky enough to find the right place directly?

It may not be possible to successfully achieve the goal.

Because the next key point depends on whether you have brought your household registration book or not.

Of course, a cultural relic store cannot just see something, think it is good, and just spend money to buy it casually.

What if the stolen goods come from grave digging or theft?

Therefore, the store has regulations that only people with household registration books will receive customers in order to trace the source of goods.

To put it bluntly, coming to a cultural relics store to sell things is almost like going to the hospital to see a doctor.

Vendors have to get their number first with their household registration booklet, and then line up to let the clerk see their items.

This number is still limited, with a fixed number every day.

If you don't get in line, no matter how good the food is, they won't accept it, and you'll have to come back another day.

So this leads to a very troublesome problem.

People who don't know what's going on may have to make several trips and a lot of trouble before they can sell what they want to sell.

For example, the people Ning Weimin met at the door of Cuizhenzhai today all had a wasted trip because of some formalities.

To be specific, this middle-aged man was actually unjustly accused.

Because he has been here several times, he knows what selling things is like, and he is not someone who doesn't know what's going on.

This time he brought a jade pot and spring vase, which was very appropriate for Cuizhenzhai.

I also brought my household registration book with me.

It was just unlucky that there was an impromptu meeting at work today, and it was really difficult for him to escape.

Just because I came a little late, I didn't get the number, it was all over.

As for the rural mother and son, they were different from him.

My master suffered the consequences simply because he didn’t understand anything and came here rashly.

The two women were from Miyun. They had inquired about Liulichang in advance and thought that they would just sell their things when they arrived.

I didn't expect that I would come all the way to find him, but it was because I was carrying a gold and bronze Buddha statue, which hit a snag at every turn and wouldn't be accepted anywhere.

In some shops, when I heard that they were selling Buddha statues, they would be kicked out without even looking at the items.

Those who were interested in asking could only shake their heads when they heard that they did not bring any documents to prove their identity.

Needless to say, for the mother and son, the current situation is quite miserable.

The things haven't been sold, so just go back like this. You'll pay for the fare in vain, and it only takes a day to get there.

But leave it and continue looking tomorrow. You will have to spend extra money on hotel accommodation.

The key is that if you look for it tomorrow, you may not be able to sell it. What if the price offered is not satisfactory.

Wouldn't it be even worse to delay going back for one more day?

This is called a dilemma, nothing is appropriate.

So whether it is for middle-aged people or for this mother and son.

Ning Weimin's expressed intention to purchase was like providing help in times of need, a sign of great virtue.

It was impossible for them not to be tempted, they were all eager to let Ning Weimin see something as soon as possible.
