Chapter 4 Mysterious Picture Scroll Surprised Buyer Chatted Over Tea and a House
I nodded in agreement, paid, got out of the car, walked a few steps south and looked around, and was dumbfounded.
The Moon Temple in Beijing and the Luwan in Shanghai are the two major stamp and coin card markets in China. One of them is indeed well-deserved. This is a card with a face value of 8 cents. It was not worth this face value when it was issued and was thrown away casually.
The "1980 Geng Shen Monkey Ticket" was sold for 12,000 yuan a piece; this is how Mei Lanfang's souvenir sheet with a face value of 3 yuan was sold to a price of 280,000 yuan; this is how a face value of 8 cents was sold
Money, "the whole country is red" because it was not painted in red and was deemed to be a wrong stamp, has become so popular that the auction price of a complete stamp has reached more than 3.6 million yuan!

Mountains and rivers all over the country are red
The world is full of troubles. My dad once told me a story. Around 1982, a friend of his bought a new house. Because he lacked wallpaper, he put a full page of Gengshen Monkey Tickets (one page is 60) with monkey faces.
Facing the wall, he pasted it on the wall. Today, the market price of this full-page monkey ticket is about 1.5 million yuan, and his friend still lives in the shabby house in the 1980s. It is estimated that every day
I shed tears in front of this broken wall, whose total price may be close to 5 million. This ticket has been completely ruined because it is attached to the wall. Of course, if it can be removed completely without damage, it will be replaced by a beachfront set in minutes.
About the villa.
Wealth on the left hand, poverty on the right hand, the world is unpredictable, and always in a moment of thought, you will pass by what you want, and you will live in regret from then on. This may be the main reason why urban rebirth novels have been popular for a while
Reason————People regret those opportunities to make money that they easily ignored in YY.
Therefore, Lugong Postal Market, on the surface, is as quiet as a clear pool, but in reality, it is a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. It can make you rich in the blink of an eye, and make you penniless in the blink of an eye. It is an amazing place that constantly creates miracles.
There are many stalls here, of different sizes. The sellers attentively smile warmly at those customers who can tell at a glance that they are thinking, "I'm going to risk my life today, I'm just here to spend a lot of money." Buyers
The place is crowded and sweating profusely. There are n various hotels open in the alley next to it, all for the purpose of resting the out-of-town guests who have endless shopping in a day. A market can actually drive the accommodation industry. You can imagine its scale.
.
I took out my cell phone and dialed Boss Qian's number.
Boss Qian's name is Qian Tu, which sounds auspicious when he hears it. In today's money-worshiping society, the so-called future is actually for money.
Qian Tu told me the location of his shop, but after I squeezed into the crowd, I still searched around for a long time before I found this inconspicuous shop.
I said hello to Uncle Qian. Qian Tu was very enthusiastic and said Lin You, right? Your dad called me. Your dad is a cheerful person and has great vision. When I met him at the Moon Temple in Beijing,
He told me the secret of the Baiji dolphin's small book, and I made a small fortune from it, which was considered my first pot of gold.
Um, okay, let me share some relevant knowledge with you. The so-called small booklet is a special commemorative stamp issued by the postal system. It looks like a long horizontal book, beautifully bound, and the stamps inside are directly connected to the surrounding paper.
Of course, these stamps will not be torn off and sent as letters, they are just for collection.
The secret of Baiji's small booklet lies in the "five consecutive pictures" - this is a shocking secret carefully planned by the designer: although the stamps embedded inside are all the same, there are five paper patterns inside, according to a certain
In order, the five patterns can be combined into a complete pattern. This increases the difficulty of collection. If there is difficulty, there will be speculation. So in order to collect the five consecutive pictures, people desperately pay high prices to buy them, and the white-fin dolphin is small.
The price of promissory notes has skyrocketed.
Because of my father's guidance, Qiantu embarked on the journey of making money. Naturally, he also favored me, the son of his benefactor, and let me into the store and treated me well.
I explained my purpose. Qian Tu narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, patted his thigh, and said, "What a good eye! Why didn't I think of that! Well, sheep coins are only 15 yuan each now. How much does your dad want?"
"Want one."
"A complete piece? Unopened? That's more expensive. Calculated to be 17 yuan a piece, the total price is 34,000. How about it? If you want it, I'll go to the market and ask. I'll exchange it for you if it's in stock.
One piece."
I handed over my hand and thanked Qian Tu. My dad told me to do this. The stamp and coin card market also sells various portraits and albums from the Cultural Revolution period, as well as many antiques and jades, which naturally has a retro style. This hand-over-hand gift,
This will allow you to quickly integrate into this circle.
From ancient times to the present, people have used various specific words and actions to divide classes, classes and circles.
Following Qian Tu's instructions, I found an ATM machine that was crowded with people. The buttons on this machine were blurred, and I didn't know how much money spit out from its mouth and flowed to the market.
I used two cards and withdrew 40,000 yuan. I didn’t even dare to raise my head, so I jumped out of the crowd.
In fact, this is very ridiculous. 40,000 yuan may be a big number to me. In this market, I can’t even shake out a p. In this stamp and coin card market, the daily fund flow is estimated to be in the tens of millions or even
Billions.
When I handed the money to Qian Tu, I was really a little bit worried. If this guy took the money and didn't do anything, can he get the money back with just a receipt? But this is the habit of the market. That's why it's like this
With the trust between buyers and sellers, the speed of capital flow will be astonishingly fast, saving a lot of transaction costs.
After finishing the business, Qian Tu and I chatted for a while. His shop mainly sells stamps and commemorative coins, and since I was very interested in ancient calligraphy and painting, I said I was going to visit other shops and stood up to leave.
Qian Tu grabbed me and said he would take me around. He found a friend to look at the shop and took me to an ancient calligraphy and painting shop that he was familiar with.
The shop owner’s name was Cao Bin. He first exchanged a few words with Qian Tu, and Qian Tu introduced me. Seeing that Cao Bin was older, I called him Uncle Cao. After the greetings were completed, I took pictures of the paintings on the wall one by one.
I browsed through it carefully. Of course, most of it was fake. Cao Bin began to roll a very wide scroll. Judging from the width, it seemed to be a huge painting by Zhang Hongtu. I became curious and begged Cao Bin to open it for me to take a look.
This is an ancient painting that looks very similar to "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". It has no name, no signature, and only a seal.
Cao Bin told me that this is an ancient unknown work called Wujun Regional Map.
I nodded and looked carefully. The painting was indeed the ancient Wujun land, with pavilions, pavilions, crisscrossing rivers, merchants coming and going, rubbing shoulders, and a prosperous scene. Judging from the ink and paper colors, it looked very much like a historical site. But
If you take a closer look at the seal, you will know that it is not ancient and must be a fake.
I asked suddenly and rashly: "How much?"
Cao Bin looked at me, then at Qian Tu, and said awkwardly: "500,000."
I gasped, no way? This fake costs 500,000? Could it be that Cao Bin couldn’t see that it was a fake? What a joke!
Qian Tu was happy on the side. He had been in Panjiayuan and Yuetan, and he was considered a knowledgeable person. He said, Brother Cao, this painting costs 500,000 yuan. Does anyone want to buy it?
Cao Bin apologized and said that the price was not randomly set by me. Someone had offered 100,000 yuan before and I planned to sell it, but that person never raised enough money and he was probably a poor guy. I came across this morning and fell in love with it at a glance.
Yes, he asked me the price. I thought to myself, I would be satisfied with 100,000. This guy kept talking nonchalantly and didn’t sound like he knew anything, so he jokingly said 400,000. Unexpectedly, he made a phone call.
He told his boss about the situation of the painting, and then hung up the phone and asked me if someone had offered this price. I said yes, and he said that his boss would add 100,000 and that he would pick it up in cash tomorrow.
I looked carefully at this map-like painting that did not look very rigorous. I found that its painting skills were extremely expressive, and its brushwork was very similar to that of Gu Kaizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, especially the famous "Luo Shen Fu Tu". Gu Kaizhi's brushwork
, detailed and exquisite, vigorous and continuous, like spring silkworms spinning silk, full of rhythm. This painting has its charm, I really like it.
Since it is a fake, it should not be much different from the real thing. Moreover, the existence of fakes means that the real thing is very valuable. While listening to Cao Bin’s words, I took out my mobile phone and took a complete picture.
I took some detailed pictures.
After hearing what Cao Bin said, Qian Tu burst into laughter, patted Cao Bin on the shoulder and said, brother, you are a fool, congratulations. I like this boss, what is his name? If he or his younger brother comes later,
In my shop, I also slaughtered a lot of people.
"This stupid master?" Cao Bin scratched his head, took out his business cards, took out one, and read three words: "Chen Ziqi."
As soon as these three words came out, I was directly struck by lightning and was stunned on the spot.
