Return To 1977 Chapter 1040: Three-pronged approach
lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
When collecting things in Taiyuan, Hong Yanwu adopted a three-pronged approach.
On the one hand, he rented a large yard on the outskirts of the city and bought dozens of tricycles.
Let the two veterans, "Chop Knife" and "San Bengzi", take the lead, teach the prices, rules, and how to work to the thirty or so clothing stall owners who have been brought here.
Then just like in the past few years in Beijing, let these guys start collecting old goods on the streets of Taiyuan and give them money per piece.
On the other hand, he also rented a van himself.
Go to Taiyuan’s cultural relics shops, foreign trade shops, handicraft factories, trust shops and Banpo Street Market every day.
After more than ten days, these guys became regular.
He also spent 300,000 yuan to buy thousands of carefully selected pieces of porcelain, calligraphy and painting, seal stones and jade jewelry.
He began to go to the countryside in a van with "Chop Knife" and "Three Bunzi" again, and went to several large villages in wealthy counties to teach them how to "hold back treasures".
But to be honest, Hong Yanwu had never really done this in the past, and he almost showed up in front of his two subordinates.
At first, he thought very simply. He believed that when he arrived at a place, the most important thing was to have a targeted approach and find someone who understood the situation in the village.
So when he got there, he did what he did in the capital.
First, I offer cigarettes and cigarettes to the villagers, and then lead the conversation to the main topic.
Finally, when the time comes, he promises financial rewards in the hope that he can be taken directly to someone else's house that has used goods.
It's a pity that the method he thought of is not very practical. "Traitors" are extremely difficult to find.
Because each place has its own folk customs, the locals don't like his playful smile.
And he also spoke with a foreign accent, which made people suspicious easily, which naturally made the villagers wary.
People always think that when they inquire about these situations, they look like people with bad intentions.
Don't say that a dog bites a goose and chases it away. It's very disgusting.
On one occasion, someone even called the "people wearing tiger skins" and detained them immediately.
When I arrived in the village, I went to court.
What, you say you are not thieves?
It doesn’t matter if you’re not a thief!
Why are you here buying these things?
There is also suspicion of smuggling cultural relics.
The officials are not ignorant villagers, so they are not young or old who know how to do it. How can it be done if you don’t make it clear?
Thanks to Hong Yanwu for having such a Hong Kong company as a cover.
Hong Kong has not yet returned to the motherland. This sign is related to national policy, which always makes people a little afraid.
And he has just signed a contract with "The Fairy Tale King", which means he has a local insurance company.
In this way, he made up another lie and said that Hong Kong businessmen are patriotic.
Our company bought these things to hold folklore exhibitions and cultural exchanges in China.
If you don’t believe it, you can contact the “Citizen Promotion Association” in Beijing and ask.
Hong Yanwen over there also helped lie, so that he could clear his suspicions and get away.
Going forward, of course you have to change your approach.
Hong Yanwu is not stupid, he gains wisdom every time he suffers.
He thought about it again and not only understood that how to win the trust of the villagers was the key, but he also saw the shortcomings of the villagers' lack of knowledge.
Finally, we combine the current situation of farmers’ generally low living standards and their preference for affordable benefits.
As soon as he slapped his thigh, he imitated the rural people who went to the city to exchange eggs for food stamps, and came up with the method of "Jiang Taigong fishes, and those who are willing to take the bait" method.
Before going again, he had to prepare well.
You have to take someone to do some shopping in the city first.
Everything you need to eat, drink, use, wear, and play is for both adults and children, and then you can load it up and take it with you.
When I got to the place, I didn’t rush into the village.
Instead, set up a stall at the entrance of the village and put up a sign saying "High quality and low price, small profits but quick turnover".
It looks like a serious business.
He doesn't take the initiative to talk to others. When someone comes to ask, he only answers.
For example, an old man comes over.
"Young man, how much does your wine cost?"
Hong Yanwu answered.
"Uncle, the store in Liquor City sells it for one dollar and sixty-five cents, and we sell it for one dollar and sixty cents. But if you have old things at home, you can also exchange them. Calligraphy, paintings, porcelain, furniture, anything."
"For example, let's take bowls. For small ones, two of them can exchange for one bottle. For large ones, maybe one can be exchanged for one. If you have a whole porcelain teapot, I will give you two bottles. Of course, how to exchange them is up to you. You have to bring me something and let me take a look."
The old man’s walnut-skinned face immediately glowed.
"Are you serious? Yes, I'll give it to you..."
Soon the old man came back. In addition to holding a set of pots in his arms, he also brought his son with a blue and white vat.
After a final bargain, the two happily took three bottles of wine and three bags of peanuts and left.
And Hong Yanwu is even more beautiful.
Even though the set of pots was a purple sand crab basket pot, and a cup was missing, he couldn't tell how good it was.
But he can understand the intact blue and white vat.
Absolutely from the early Qing Dynasty.
Because Yuntai once told him that the political situation in the early Qing Dynasty was unstable.
Influenced by the upper class, the style of porcelain paintings at that time was martial, mostly with the theme of "men with swords and horses".
It was not until after Kangxi that there were festive and auspicious patterns such as "a hundred sons dancing with dragons".
Wait for him to turn it over again.
As expected, there was a deposit written on Kangxi's favorite "Xuande of the Ming Dynasty".
It's actually from the official kiln.
Of course this is a good deal, a huge profit of a hundred times!
If you exchange it for six yuan, you can earn six hundred if you give it to the cultural relics store immediately.
As soon as the old man left, Hong Yanwu and the others had not finished smoking a cigarette.
A woman holding a child stopped when she was about to enter the village.
After looking at it for a while, he asked.
"What's the price of this king?"
This time Hong Yanwu pushed "Chop Knife" and it was this kid's turn.
He definitely doesn't live up to his nickname, and he kills people without any ambiguity.
"Sister-in-law, where is this bowl? It costs more than 2 cents in the store. If you want to buy it... just give me 20 cents. But if you have an old bowl at home, we can exchange the bowl for a bowl. Even if it is a little bit It’s okay if it’s broken or cracked. Bring it over and let me take a look. You can exchange the two for one, or you can exchange the three for two..."
Okay, this woman was happy to hear it.
After carrying the child into the village, within ten minutes, he came back with more than 20 old porcelain bowls.
Of course, she didn’t understand anything, and the bowl she brought actually contained four or five broken enamel bowls.
But there was a bowl with leftover rice inside, which looked like it was for feeding a cat, but Hong Yanwu's eyes lit up.
Considering that there are no fakes nowadays, according to him, it is most likely Ru Ci.
So even though the enamel bowl was rejected, he didn't let "Chop Knife" argue with others and still gave him twenty new bowls.
I thanked the woman profusely.
For Hong Yanwu, this is undoubtedly an even bigger sweet deal.
For five yuan, I got a real national treasure, along with a dozen porcelains from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.
Profits are simply impossible to calculate.
All in all, this guy's "shoveling the ground" with this trick is really ruthless, and it can be regarded as pinching the villagers' veins.
Because farmers these days are particularly pragmatic.
You give him money, but you don’t even give him food to make them happy.
You know, they have to go to the city to buy things after taking the money.
It's not convenient because of the long distance, and there are also restrictions on this ticket and that ticket, and you'll always get looked at and looked down upon.
With door-to-door delivery, considerate service, and cheap prices, how can farmers be unhappy?
So with the completion of several transactions, the whole village soon became a sensation.
I know that "kind people" are coming to do business, and they are coming to every house.
Before three o'clock in the afternoon, the things Hong Yanwu brought had been replaced.
I told him to go back first, but the fellow villagers were reluctant to leave.
The village secretary came forward and asked Hong Yanwu to deposit some furniture and large items that he could not take away with him at the village branch, promising that they would not be lost.
I want to keep them drinking and dining, just because I'm afraid they won't come tomorrow.
As a result, Hong Yanwu and the others were sent out by almost the entire village, old and young.
Is there anything more ridiculous than this?
The whole situation is reversed, and bad silver is mistaken for good silver.
To be honest, even "Chop Knife" and "San Bengzi" themselves felt a little embarrassed about this.
Only Hong Yanwu had no psychological burden and was still proud after returning.
On the way to find a restaurant for dinner, he strolled around and provided psychological counseling to "Chop Knife" and "San Bo Zi".
"What's there to be ashamed of? We are doing a good deed, you know? It would be unethical if we didn't take these things away. Think about it, wouldn't it be a pity if someone really got hit by mistake? Then you guys Are you happy? Shit, Xiaoci is the thief of Daci."
While I was talking, I met a fruit vendor.
Hong Yanwu saw that Taoer was good and came to inquire about the price.
The hawker said, "Thirty cents per catty."
At this time, it turned out that Hong Yanwu was not always shrewd, and he could not settle some accounts well.
Seeing that he was careless, he opened his mouth and came.
"Is it expensive? Is one piece worth three kilograms okay?"
As soon as these thoughtless words were spoken, "Chop Knife" and "San Beng Zi" were stunned.
Looking at each other, they quickly suppressed a smile.
The most amazing thing was that the vendor was shaking his head like a rattle.
"What do you want? The purchase price is more than this amount, no, no, no..."
"Pfft", didn't hold back.
Some people are really having fun.
