Chapter 161 Move into the shop and inspect the cultural and entertainment market
In the 1980s, there was not so much formaldehyde.
The weather is relatively dry now. After a night of ventilation, the shop is finally livable.
So He Jincheng and Gao Ziqiang couldn't wait to move in.
Because the room was still somewhat damp, the two of them did not spread out the bedding. After doing some simple cleaning, they sat in the living room to discuss things.
"Qiangzi, what do you think we will do next now that we have opened Shanbaozhai?"
He Jincheng poured Gao Ziqiang a cup of tea and asked with a smile.
This is the wild tea that He Jincheng brought from Lianhua Village. It is not as famous as the famous tea outside, but He Jincheng is very accustomed to drinking it and thinks it tastes better than any tea outside.
"Of course we have restocked. We have nothing now. Even if someone comes, there will be nothing to sell!"
Gao Ziqiang said without thinking.
"Yes, of course we want to buy goods, but do you want to buy anything?"
He Jincheng asked with a smile.
"I really don't understand this, but Brother He, didn't you say, let's start with Wenwan first, then bring in some Wenwan!"
Gao Ziqiang scratched his head and said with some uncertainty.
"It seems that you really need to study hard in this area! You also know a few words. I give this book to you. Study it carefully. If you don't understand anything, just ask me!"
He Jincheng took out an introductory book on literary and entertainment and handed it to Gao Ziqiang.
In this industry, if you really don’t understand anything, you’ll die.
So He Jincheng prepared to train Gao Ziqiang bit by bit and let Gao Ziqiang get started in three months.
Compared with antiques, the relative value of cultural toys is lower.
Of course, some top-quality items are excluded here, but they are just relatively normal goods.
Cultural toys mainly include five categories: gemstones, wooden toys, fruit toys, bone toys and craft toys.
As the name suggests, gemstones refer to jade, Hotan jade, turquoise, southern red, amber beeswax, lapis lazuli, Warring States red, Dzi beads, tourmaline, obsidian, garnet, various crystals, purple-green agate, yellow dragon jade, etc.
Among them, Hetian jade, turquoise, and beeswax have good playability.
They are all non-renewable resources. They have the most investment value in the cultural and toy category and are also very expensive. They are also the types that are particularly sought after by the public.
Therefore, the prices of this category are often relatively high, and the profits are also relatively high.
He Jincheng's piece of top-quality jadeite was previously sold for three thousand yuan.
Common wooden objects include: Hainan huanghuali, agarwood, agarwood, thuja, small-leaf rosewood, snakewood, sandalwood, etc. Among them, sandalwood, sea yellow, agarwood, and thuja all have different fragrances.
, has the effects of calming the nerves and condensing qi, anti-inflammatory, beautifying, and detoxifying.
Most of these toys grow slowly, have no fragrance, and have beautiful colors and textures.
What is even more tested is the patience and carefulness of the person playing with it.
For example, Thuja. At the beginning, there were Thujas that had been plated, and they were yellow and not good-looking at all.
With a little bit of playing, you will be able to form a layer of paste on the bracelet, and finally it will form a very beautiful bracelet, and the color can be changed into various styles.
The way it changes and takes shape little by little in your own hands gives people a very proud feeling.
Fruit-based toys are the most common, and are produced in large quantities every year. They are the most in-stock type, and they need to be played to have a good-looking coating. They are not expensive, but they have good playability.
Common fruit-based toys include Rudraksha, Star-Moon Bodhi, Hyacinthia Bodhi, Passion Seeds, Walnuts, Olive Stones, Lotus Bodhi, etc. For example, Bodhi Seeds are often used as rosary beads, 108 pieces of which are worn as accessories, for worshiping Buddha, chanting Buddha's name, etc.
.
In the future, many people will especially like to buy a skewer and play with it themselves. This thing also has many benefits for the knuckles.
In addition, the number of dental bones should be slightly less, because the teeth of rarer animals are often needed to be more valuable, and no one likes to collect ordinary animals.
However, as the law becomes more and more complete, many animals are classified as protected animals, so there are fewer and fewer of them.
Nowadays, there are only some mammoth tusks, wild boar tusks, yak horns, etc. left in the world, and there are fewer and fewer of them available for play!
There are also some ethnic groups who like to wear wolf fangs, but now they are gradually starting to ban them.
The scope of the last category of craft-related literature and toys is not so clearly defined.
It can be said that this is an artistic piece of literature.
Such as ceramics, calligraphy and painting, fans, teapots, incense burners, etc., can all be called craft toys.
The most important thing is that these things must be made by masters to have higher value.
In short, the investment in cultural entertainment is relatively small, but the profits will be very considerable.
When it comes to antiques, you need to figure this out first, which can be considered an introductory course.
After listening to He Jincheng's introduction, Gao Ziqiang felt like his head was as big as a bucket.
He had gone to school for several years and knew a lot of words, but he didn't understand anything written in this book.
"Brother He, do you think I am reliable in this game?"
Gao Ziqiang doesn’t have much confidence that he can enter this industry.
"Listen to me, actually there is nothing too difficult in this business. Even the best treasure appraisers have had their eyes pierced before. This does not mean that you should never have your eyes pierced when playing with antiques!"
He Jincheng said with a smile.
"This... okay, I will listen to you, Brother He. Whatever you ask me to do, I will do it!"
Gao Ziqiang hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily.
"Okay, then you can read at home now. I'll take a look around Qiangu Street. If possible, I'll buy a batch of goods!"
He Jincheng nodded and said.
"Then let me help you move your things!"
Gao Ziqiang was not the kind of person who liked reading. He immediately stood up and said he wanted to go with He Jincheng.
"Just stay here and I will check your homework when you come back!"
He Jincheng waved his hand and said.
The most important thing for Gao Ziqiang now is to replenish his knowledge reserve as soon as possible.
As soon as He Jincheng said he wanted to check his homework, Gao Ziqiang fainted.
He Jincheng went out by himself and then strolled along Qiangu Street.
His purpose was very clear, he specifically selected shops that sold literature and entertainment.
He Jincheng looked at it for a long time and found that there were more toys here, which were fruit-based toys.
As for gemstones, they are very rare.
After asking several people about it, He Jincheng found out that the customs and habits here in Nandu were like this. They didn't like gemstones, but preferred fruits.
He Jincheng thought for a long time.
This is a habit of the people of Nandu, but I don’t know why they hate gem-based toys even more.
However, in He Jincheng's view, this may be a breakthrough point, but it is not impossible.
