Chapter 1 Leaving Home
I stayed in it for seven years and received a commutation of sentence for good performance.
On the first day I came out, I received several calls. The bosses tried their best to persuade me to follow them. Some people who were given 100,000 yuan in a month and some people who were given 200,000 yuan in a month.
Most of these calls come from two places.
Panjiayuan in Beijing and Chenyang Road in Tianjin.
I considered it at that time, but still refused.
It was a mistake for me to enter this industry. Even if I got rich overnight, I paid the price. In seven years, I went from being a fair young man to a belly-bodied uncle in his thirties.
The girls I met back then now my children can make soy sauce
I was alone without any relatives and no reason, and finally chose to go to Dali.
I bought a small storefront on the Erhai Lake and opened a small supermarket. When I had no business every day, I would go to the beach to have a walk, blowing the sea breeze, and my life was leisurely.
The address of the small supermarket is Cangshan East Road, next to Lemath. If any friend wants to come and play, I will serve it with tea.
Didn’t I discover the ancient Shu civilization some time ago, and the golden mask that caused a sensation across the country was unearthed. In fact, my way of getting rich has something to do with these things.

Two words are indispensable.
Antiques, tomb robbers.
A few years ago, Ghost Blows Out the Light, Tomb Raiders' Chronicles, Golden Eyes, and movies and TV series were very popular. Now when I am free, I also write about the things in this industry.
I have never seen the Qinling Heavenly Palace, the Qinling Divine Tree, nor do I have golden eyes, but I entered the antique industry at the age of sixteen and have indeed seen many things that ordinary people cannot understand with my own eyes.
Let's start from the beginning.
I was born in a small mountain village in the northeast of my motherland, close to Mohe. It is so cold that people can freeze to death in winter.
Grandma raised me, but I had never met my parents, and I didn’t want to ask them what they were called.
The old saying goes, "I was very good at being a different generation". When I was a child, I didn't listen to the teacher's discipline. My academic performance was so poor that I ended up in the class all year round.
At that time, the village had a minimum living allowance, which seemed to be more than 80 yuan a month. There was also a subsidy for orphans and extremely poor households, which was more than 100 yuan a month. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was difficult to survive.
At the time of junior high school, CCTV's treasure hunting programs were played on TV every day. I was fascinated by watching them. Those bottles and jars that people didn't take seriously before. As a result, experts said that they could sell for tens of thousands of yuan, which was an antique, and they could change houses and cars. !
I kept lying to my grandma at that time, saying that the school asked me to buy learning materials. My grandma gave me money, so I went to the bookstore and bought all antique books.
The first book I remember reading was "Fifty Treasures of Ancient Springs", published by Mr. Dai, a very thick book.
Guquan is copper coins, which is called purple coins in our book. This book opened my eyes and began to become crazy about antiques.
I rummaged through boxes and cabinets at our house, and fooled my classmates, and didn't read the words, so I asked them to steal copper coins from their own houses and sell them for me. I bought them.
Save money, I never order food in the canteen. Later, I sold a bunch of textbooks for seven yuan. My studies were too poor. The teacher just kept sighing at that time, saying that the child was finished and he would not study hard, so he could only do so in the future. It is a cancer of society.
I was disdainful of the teacher's words at that time, and I dreamed of getting rich in my heart. Even if I became a cancer, I would still be a cancer with richness.
In the third year of junior high school, I was about to have a high school entrance examination, I was 17.
Grandma accidentally broke her leg because she was sweeping snow in the yard. The medical and surgical expenses totaled more than 3,000 yuan.
The situation in our family was so I couldn’t even take out 600 yuan at that time. I was deeply impressed by it. My grandma was lying on the kang, covered with a thick quilt, and she would cry at night.
My eldest uncle opened several farmhouses in Mohe, Xue Township. He was doing a good business, so I went to my eldest uncle's house to borrow money and borrow money to buy medicine for my grandma.
Although I didn't say anything on the surface, once I heard it secretly behind my back. My uncle said that I was a broom star, and that our family was a dilapidated house. He said that the money I borrowed was dismissed and asked my aunt to reduce the amount of money he had left.
We come and go.
That winter night, Mohe was more than 30 degrees below zero. I sat on a stone for more than three hours.
When he was young and frivolous, his uncle's words smashed a young man's self-esteem so hard.
Holding the borrowed money tightly, I swear in my heart: "I! Xiang Yunfeng! Must be successful!"
I dropped out of school by myself. Strictly speaking, I don’t even have a junior high school diploma and am considered a primary school graduate.
There are 3,000 yuan left, except for grandma's surgery to buy medicine, there are 753 yuan left. I secretly kept this money.
Not only did I collect copper coins, I also went to other people's houses in the neighboring village to collect porcelain and cashiers.
Rural people only think silver dollars are valuable, and most of them do not understand bottles, bowls, plates, porcelain, etc., and they are not very concerned about them.
Reading books and treasure appraisal columns every day, I gradually gained some basic vision.
I bought a pair of large dust bottles of the late Qing Dynasty for a price of 100 yuan. I bought a few small salt jars of the Republic of China for less than 200 yuan. I bought three small salt jars of the mid-term Qing Dynasty for less than 18 yuan.
The kiln blue and white bowls, but unfortunately these three bowls have chicken feet patterns, and they are not well preserved, and they all have big crossing lines.
I had saved a small bag of copper coins before, which were about 200. Most of the copper coins were Song and Qing coins. Among them, Daoguang, Guangxu, Qianlong, Huangsong, and Yuanfeng were the most. These copper coins were stored in the world, and I knew they were not very valuable.
, The one that satisfied me the most was three Yongzheng, who was of good quality. I knew that Yongzheng Tongbaoneng was worth a little money, but I didn’t know how much it was worth at that time.
After buying these things, I spent more than 500 yuan in total, and I had 240 yuan left. At that time, my average monthly salary was only over 300 yuan.
I had a good relationship with a female classmate at that time. She helped me and lent me two large 30-inch trolley boxes.
There were 11 pieces of porcelain and a small bag of copper coins in total. I carefully wrapped them in bedding and wrapped them again, for fear of breaking and a lot of foam was stuffed.
Finally, two large trolley cases and a backpack were fully filled.
Grandma didn't understand what I was doing very much, saying that I was not doing my job properly, and she also said that she raised me in vain. My uncle also knew about this, and most of the villagers also knew about this.
Many people pointed at me behind my back.
With my eyes rolled and carrying other people's misunderstandings, on the morning of the 17th day of the 12th lunar month, I left Mohe with my things.
At that time, I thought that Beijingers were the richest, so of course I had to sell the antiques I collected to Beijingers, not to mention that I had long yearned for the legendary land of Panjiayuan.
There is no direct train from Mohe to Beijing, so you can only take the train to Siping first, and then go from Siping to West Beijing.
The whole journey is more than 2,000 kilometers and takes more than 50 hours. In order to save money, I chose the cheapest hard seat.
I was carrying two large trolley cases, and I was carrying a big backpack behind me. My head was very oily and my clothes were very rustic. The passengers at the station pointed at me from time to time and whispered.
I've never traveled far away. This is the first time I took the train, and I'm alone.
After buying the ticket, I only have less than a hundred yuan left. If I can't sell the goods, I can't even afford the ticket for the return trip, let alone eat.
The rice on the train was very expensive and I didn't dare to spend money, so I drank it with the cup I brought with me. I was so hungry that I bought a bag of four-dollar mozzarella.
It’s the first time that rural kids have come to Beijing. Everything is fresh. It’s the first time I’ve seen the security checker in the station.
At that time, I was less than eighteen, but I was not afraid of strangers and dared to talk to people. I asked others how to go to Panjiayuan Antique Market. The ticket selling girl was very enthusiastic. He asked me to take the subway and told me how to transfer.
Take Line 9 from Beijing West Railway Station, then get off at Liuliqiao and change to Line 10, and then get off at Panjiayuan Station.
Fortunately, I have a good memory and haven't taken many detours. At that time, the subway was still just two dollars, and no one would care about you as long as you didn't leave the station.
After getting off the subway station, there were anti-slip pits on the sidewalks. I was carrying a bag and dragging two big boxes.
Walking through the Warwick Bridge, I finally saw the golden-font-shaped monument standing outside the north gate.
“Panjiayuan Fresh Goods Market.”
