This villa is very elegant. The yard is full of flowers and plants. It is usually well-maintained and very lively. There is also a long table in the yard, which is already filled with snacks and tea and drinks. Chen Fanshan said: "Let's go."
Let's go in and visit first."
Although the exterior of the house is white, the design and furniture style inside are still full of Chaozhou style, but they are not as complicated as Luo Tian imagined. The overall feeling is simple and comfortable. Standing in the yard and looking down, the car
With people and even the sea becomes small.
Although the house is big, there are no servants. Chen Fanshan said, "I don't live here normally. I only come here when I want to fish, take care of the flowers and plants, and cook by the way. Don't look at me now. I'm young.
I was working in the kitchen at the time.”
"I didn't expect that Mr. Chen can cook himself with today's achievements and maintain his true intentions. It is really rare in this society. This may be the unique charm of Chaozhou businessmen." Luo Tian's compliment
Although it is explicit, it is expressed smoothly and has a correct attitude, so it sounds like there is no suspicion of flattery. Besides, Luo Tian’s words were originally from the heart.
Chen Fanshan nodded: "I didn't expect you to see my true intentions. People who don't know think I'm playing low-key and playing unrestrained."
"Mr. Chen has been on our website, so, are there any antiques that you want to repair?" Luo Tian couldn't wait to get to the point.
Chen Fanshan nodded: "That's right, but if it's an antique, it's not worthy of it. I'll show it to you first, and you two will sit first."
Luo Tian and Cheng Zhen sat in the yard, listening to the sound of wind in the mountains, looking at the green in front of them, it was quite comfortable. Cheng Zhen asked, "What do you think it would be?"
"It's just those major categories..." Before Luo Tian finished speaking, Chen Fanshan had already taken out the "thing". It was a cowhide envelope. As soon as the things inside were poured out, Luo Tian was shocked: "
Is it a monkey ticket?"
Cheng Zhen grew up in Hong Kong and obviously didn't know what a monkey stamp is: "Isn't this a stamp?"
"Silly girl, monkey stamps are also a type of stamp." Luo Tian said: "Monkey stamps, also known as Gengshen Monkey, or Golden Monkey, were originally from the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications (hereinafter referred to as China Post) on February 15, 1980 (Gengshen year).
A set of zodiac stamps issued on Sunday. Monkey stamps are the first zodiac stamps issued by the People's Republic of China. China Philatelic Corporation and Monkey stamps issued a first-day seal at the same time."
"That's the stamp, uncle, is there any memorial significance? If it is broken, you have to repair it." Cheng Zhen didn't understand the story, and Luo Tian and Chen Fanshan both laughed.
"Cheng Zhen, do you know the market price of a whole set of monkey tickets now?" Luo Tian slapped: "The transaction price of a single monkey ticket is 12,084 yuan, and the price of a whole set of monkey tickets has reached 1.3 million yuan.
.”
"Wow." Cheng Zhen could only express his heart with an exclamation: "It's just a stamp, why?"
Chen Fanshan said: "You don't know anything about this. Because the monkey stamp is the first zodiac stamp, the image is beautiful and the printing is exquisite, it is very popular among philatelic enthusiasts. The price of monkey stamps in the stamp market has risen rapidly. Sifang Lianhe Complete Edition
The price of stamps is higher. The price of monkey stamps is rising at an astonishing speed. It is worthy of being a symbol of Chinese philatelic collections. It is also a weather vane for the Chinese philatelic market. The first set of new stamps and new stamps have a leading effect, and the philatelic collectors' pursuit of perfection.
Often these first-class products have extraordinary value and considerable value added."
Chen Fanshan glanced at Luo Tian, and Luo Tian immediately continued: "Although many people did not pay attention to the issue of monkey tickets, as many stamp markets across the country were established in the late 1980s, the economic significance of philatelics was becoming more and more important.
When the second round of zodiac monkey tickets were released, many philatelics suddenly realized why they had lost the first set of monkey tickets? So the price of 'Gengshen Monkey'
The market soared sharply, with supply and demand extremely imbalanced. Although the second and third sets of zodiac stamps were later issued, including monkey stamps, usually monkey stamps refer to the first monkey stamp issued in 1980.”
Cheng Zhen couldn't understand that a small stamp could actually be sold at a sky-high price. She shook her head helplessly: "It seems that there are too many things I don't understand. Since it is so valuable, there must be fakes, right?"
"Of course, many of the fakes are transformed by using stamp patterns on commemorative sheets printed in various parts of the country. The stamp patterns on these commemorative sheets are all the original colors of the original products, with holes and holes, and are only printed in the lower right corner of the pattern.
A black diagonal line. The new ticket transformed is to wipe off the black diagonal line and use the same color to cover the scratches; the new ticket transformed letter cancellation ticket is to cover the scratches with postmarks; and the actual sealing rules of the change
It is to paste fake letter cancellation tickets on an old envelope and then add postmarks."
"So we also have a series of ways to identify monkey tickets. The first is to look at the color: there are two colors of real monkey tickets: one is called 'red monkey', with dark red background and fine web patterns on the printing plate
, in a wavy shape, with uniform and orderly ink color; another type is called "pink monkey", with a light background color on the face and tiny white dots. Whether it is "red monkey", "pink monkey", its eyes, nose, mouth, and ears
, hands, feet, etc., with bright yellow. The fake 'monkey' face is red and has a light background and dull background. If you carefully observe the complexion of the background and no wave patterns. Occasionally, the eyes and other parts painted with gold also appear.
It's dark and light, and sometimes it's broken."
"The second thing is to distinguish the lines. The carving lines of the real ticket are naturally delicate, and the monkey's hair is clear. Touch gently with your hands, and it has a texture, and the ink is dark and shiny. The three characters "Gengshen Nian" have a thin and powerful font.
.The three characters on the fake ticket have a fatter font, the lines on the monkey are thicker and the ink is darker, and sometimes it will be blurred and has no texture when touched."
"The third thing is to identify the paper products. The paper of the real ticket is thinner and pure white. The outline of the monkey pattern can usually be seen from the back. This is because the printing and engraving stamps require special ink, and the stamp factory at that time was the case.
There is not much inventory, so I add a small amount of lead-printed ink. However, it is not easy to dry out with lead-printed ink, and the printed stamps are easy to stick, so there are more or less black ink marks on the back of the real monkey stamp. The paper of fake monkey stamps is thicker,
There is usually no ink mark on the back and the glue on the back is not obvious."
"The fourth thing is to recognize the text. The text "t.46.(1-1)" below the real ticket is basically parallel to the annual '1980' on the right. And the 't.46.(1) on the fake ticket
-1)'The number of the snippet is slightly moved right and higher upward, not parallel to '1980'."
There was a set of monkey tickets in front of me, and Cheng Zhen immediately picked them up and studied them carefully...
