National Tide 1980

Go gracefully and come back sweating profusely.

Ning Weimin took out all the money in his pocket.

I returned to Bao Dui'er, spent nearly a thousand yuan including the foreign exchange coupons and RMB, and got two sacks of calligraphy and painting.

With the help of warehouse manager Xiao Qi, even moving downstairs was a waste of effort.

Fortunately, it was very close to the front door. Ning Weimin asked Huo Xin to help look after things and ran to get a tricycle.

So he, a foreign comprador in a suit and leather tie, finally fell into Huo Xin's stunned eyes.

He sat on the back of a tricycle like a "Li Ben'er" and escorted these things to Courtyard No. 2 of Shan'er Hutong.

Although when he got out of the car later, Ning Weimin accidentally cut a big hole in his trousers, so more than 100 yuan was directly reimbursed.

Because my pocket was empty and I had to go into the courtyard to get money in cash, the tricycle driver complained unhappily.

But it doesn't matter.

Today's harvest was enough to cover up this series of unhappiness, and still made him as happy as a child holding a lollipop.

In fact, when Kang Shude came back from work that day.

As soon as he entered the house with the curtains drawn tightly, what he saw was that the chandeliers, standing lamps, and table lamps in Ning Weimin's house were all turned on.

More than fifty paintings were hung all over the wall, spread out on the table, and even on the bed, and they were admiring them happily.

"Hey, you brat, you stay away from home all day long. When you finally come back, you don't ask me to cook or clean up the house. You make me even more messy. And you turn on so many lights? It's a shameful waste..."

"Oh, old man, which month didn't I pay for the electricity bill? Besides, what else are you going to cook? We're going to eat out later, and I have to treat you well. You should come over first and watch me get it back. They are all good things..."

The old man put down his bag a little unhappily, and waited for someone to come over slowly and look at him before he spoke.

"That's it? Do you think you can succeed like this? It's Fu Baoshi, Pan Tianshou, and these few paintings by Qi Baishi. Are they new? Not new."

"Don't you still have two hundred paintings in your house? In the past, you used to make money by buying stamps, but now you just buy paintings?"

"I have to say something to you. Why don't you pay attention to these porcelains and bronzes recently? You haven't even gotten one or two serious things back. Are you not going to the ghost market anymore? I taught you Everything you learn is in vain, right?"

"Hey, you stuffed all the things at home into my air-raid shelter. I'm a little tired of the few pieces of porcelain I have. Hurry up and get me something I'm interested in. I think you're filial... "

Ning Weimin really didn't expect that his master would be so resentful recently, so he quickly apologized and apologized.

"I was wrong, I was wrong. It's my fault that I don't come back often. I don't blame you for not liking me."

"When it comes to getting porcelain, you always have a clear idea. Now considering the acquisition cost, getting porcelain is not very cost-effective. I can only start when I see a treasure that cannot be missed."

"On the contrary, the price of this calligraphy and painting is rising every day and is very stable. If we don't take the opportunity to get more, we will really miss it. I am afraid of regretting it in the future."

This is correct, especially since the facts have fully proved Ning Weimin's vision.

Since the stamp printing incident was misunderstood, Ning Weimin's calligraphy and painting purchases have more than doubled.

Even Kang Shude had to admit that this apprentice was very accurate in reading the market and he was not as good as him.

But in his mouth, the old man still had to be tougher.

"You are just a small money person. You make calculations every day and pull the beads on your abacus. Don't say I didn't warn you. It's easy to suffer big losses if you take advantage of small things. When doing big things, it's useless to rely on calculations. It's still in the stomach. Knowledge and worldliness come first.”

Ning Weimin lowered his eyebrows and looked down.

"Hey, yes, I remember it. Thank you for your teaching."

But the old man was fierce and unmoved.

"Okay, you're just trying to look the other way with me. Okay, tell me, how much did you charge for these things? Let me see how much advantage you took."

Now Ning Weimin was happy and stretched out his fingers, feeling proud.

"They take care of me and give me a flat price. The foreign exchange coupon is twenty, the RMB is twenty-five..."

Kang Shude was confused.

"This isn't cheap either! It's almost the same as the price in stores outside! These Qi Baishi pictures are the only ones worth buying for you. They're almost half the price..."

Ning Weimin was quite excited, curling his lips and his tone suddenly rose.

"Oh, why didn't you understand? I'm not talking about a foot, but a piece!"

"ah?!"

This time the old man also shouted, and then he stuttered.

"This... this... this is impossible..."

He naturally understands how cheap this is.

"Why is it impossible?"

Ning Weimin lowered his voice again.

But a smile completely broke out on his face, as happy as a sunflower.

"I'm telling you, where are you? I went there today and there were a lot more in the library, at least tens of thousands..."

Kang Shude blinked, as if in a dream.

"I...I said, you kid, don't play around! You really scared me..."

"Oh, don't you know me yet? I'm just timid. I promise, it's absolutely reasonable and legal..."

"This means that if you send the painting to Liulichang tomorrow, you can make several times the profit within a few seconds. And you can get as much as you want..."

"That's not the case!"

Kang Shude was speechless.

His level of shock at this time was not much better than when Ning Weimin entered the warehouse a few hours ago.

On this day, Ning Weimin treated the old man to "Lao Zhengxing" "Braised Water" and "Xiangyou Eel Paste".

Rao Shi drank a pound of Jimo old wine and took a bath in the nearby Tsinghua Pool where Bian Jianjun worked.

But when he got home, Ning Weimin was also tossing in bed and couldn't sleep.

It’s so annoying!

As soon as he closed his eyes, he could see thousands of scrolls, stacked like mountains, floating in front of his eyes.

Rich as a country, priceless!

No wonder it is said that small money depends on earning, while big money depends on life!

If it weren't for his great luck and getting to know the eldest lady Huo Xin, no matter how capable he was, he would never have had such an opportunity to grow his hair?

Twenty less years of struggle? It’s not an exaggeration to say that it lasts two lifetimes!

It seems that he is indeed favored by God, and he came here just to be a tycoon.

Look, Ning Weimin considered it lucky to know Huo Xin again.

What does this mean?

It shows that wealth is the most lustful thing, it shows that people have healed their scars and forgotten the pain, and it shows that people can’t take advantage of themselves enough.

Even when eating mutton skewers, I eat one skewer and think about two skewers, and eat two skewers and think about ten skewers, let alone discover so many precious calligraphy and paintings.

Anyway, no matter how you put it, Ning Weimin was completely obsessed with the scroll in that warehouse.

After turning over the biscuits for a long time, I finally managed to stare at them.

When he got up the next day, he found that the clock was already nine o'clock and he was the only one left in the room.

The old man only left a note for him on the table, saying that he would not be back for lunch and asked him to take care of himself.

Well, in this case, he has no intention of going to work.

After washing up in a hurry, without even eating breakfast, I called Huo Xin and told her to go to work tomorrow.

I went to the taxi station at Qianmen to charter a 212 jeep and went straight to Chongwenmen Hotel to pick up the foreign exchange coupons.

If not for anything else, it was because he was very clearly aware that what was in front of him was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Since you can buy it, you should buy as much as possible. This is the truth.
