Return To 1977 Chapter 353: Throw money

When it comes to handling cash, Hong Yanwu is really in a dilemma.
What troubles him is that with the current social consumption level, it will take less than a month. Where can he spend 110,000 yuan, which can maintain its value steadily and not attract attention?
Collect huanghuali and rosewood furniture?
Looks pretty reliable.
There is no need for him to learn from the "Red Sandalwood King" or create any "sports heritage", because there are many ready-made "sports heritage" in the trust store.
But those utensils take up a lot of space. Where should he put them after buying them? Buying a few tables and desks is not enough to cause trouble.
Buying antique porcelain?
That thing occupies a smaller space, but it’s even less reliable.
Because of the policy of cultural relic stores these days, they only accept items from the public but do not sell them. The relevant sales regulations are that cultural relics after 1795 (the 60th year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty) can only be sold domestically to government agencies and units, in addition to being exported for exchange.
What if I bought it secretly? There was no antique market at that time. If he wants to stock up on goods, he has to go to the "Xiao Market". But the scale there is too small, and the tricks in the transaction are also big.
What's more, it would be very eye-catching if he brought home a large number of pots and jars.
Can you avoid making the neighbors suspicious? Even if his parents asked him, he couldn't explain it.
So I have to say that for him, making money too fast is also a pain.
But after all, a living person will not be driven to death by urine, and Hong Yanwu's brain is not made of paste.
He was a clever man, and after walking around the streets for a few days, he discovered a good doorway that he had always ignored.
That is to buy seal stones, calligraphy and paintings.
These things were not subject to sales policy restrictions at the time, and you could buy them if you had money. Not only are the items small, they are easy to store. In terms of appreciation potential, it is no less than that of stamps, or even worse.
Because as far as he knew, the price of Dalong Ticket in the future would only be around hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
The highest auction record was in the Guardian 2008 spring auction, when three complete, top-grade Dalong tickets were sold for more than 50 million yuan.
In comparison, during the same period, calligraphy and paintings by famous artists exceeded 100 million yuan, and it was much more common for a gram of Tianhuang stone to be sold for 100,000 yuan.
This shows which one is better and which one is worse.
Of course, he also knows that the threshold for playing with these things is much higher than stamps. Not only do you have to be rich, you also have to be knowledgeable. The requirements for collectors’ cultural quality are far higher than other collection varieties.
To be honest, with his limited cultural level, he felt that he did not have the qualifications to get involved in this field.
But after all, he knew the names of Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong, Zhang Daqian, Fu Baoshi, and Li Keran.
We also know that chicken blood stone, Tianhuang stone, and hibiscus stone are known as the "Three Treasures of Seal Stones", and they are all priceless and rare treasures.
It’s even more unbearable that there are no fakes these days.
And the value of these things is also related to the national destiny, so they are extremely cheap.
Specifically, he visited the "Rongbaozhai" Nan Paper Store.
I discovered that Qi Baishi’s paintings were priced at only thirty-five yuan per square foot. Xu Beihong and Zhang Daqian both received 25 yuan, Li Keran received 15 yuan, Wang Xuetao received 12 yuan, and Lu Yan only received 8 yuan. Liu Bingsen is the worst, he only has eight cents.
In the "Cuiwen Pavilion" engraving sales department, the "Three Treasures of Seal Stones" can be seen everywhere with more than 60 grams of six-sided plain seals. (Plain seals lose weight, which is a luxury that is unimaginable today. ), prices all fell to the bottom.
Although compared with the RMB gold price of 9.7 per gram that year. Tianhuang stone is priced at ten yuan per gram, chicken blood stone is eight yuan per gram, and hibiscus stone is nine yuan per gram. It seems that "one gram of stone, one gram of gold" is not low.
But if you compare it with the so-called situation today that "the best Tianhuang has become the quintessence of the country, and the Yijin is a hundred times as valuable as ancient and modern times" and "the high-mountain stone is Tianhuang, which is more expensive than gold by dozens of times", it is simply a big joke. . It’s definitely a ridiculously low price.
So, facing this huge treasure house that he almost missed, he should just say hello.
In two weeks, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan visited the sales departments of five cultural relics stores and "Rongbaozhai" in Changdian'er, as well as the "Peace Painting Shop" and the Arts and Crafts Building in Wangfujing. Spread the money out without hesitation.
So much so that later on, he spent so much money that he even lost the money to go to Bincheng. In the end, I had to go to the bank to withdraw 5,000 yuan temporarily and use it as travel expenses.
As for the specific gains, Hong Yanwu only spent nearly 30,000 yuan on calligraphy and painting works by people whose names he had heard.
A total of nine paintings by Qi Baishi, 21 paintings by Xu Beihong, and 15 paintings by Zhang Daqian were purchased.
At the same time, there are more than a hundred works by Wu Zuoren, Li Keran, Wang Xuetao, Fu Baoshi, Pan Tianshou, Cheng Shifa and Guan Shanyue. And among all these paintings, more than half are large-scale works over eight feet tall.
The remaining more than 70,000 yuan was used to buy seal stones made of Pingzhang aniseed.
And they mainly spent on 63 pieces of Tianhuang Stone, known as the "Emperor of Seal Stones", and 81 pieces of Chicken Blood Stone, known as the "Queen of Seal Stones".
As for hibiscus stones, because Hong Yanwu didn’t understand them at all, he only picked out the ones with clear and beautiful colors and bought more than ten pieces. Just talking about being a plaything.
In this way, Hong Yanwu's 110,000 yuan was spent and turned into these things, which he specially stored in the three large camphor wood boxes he bought.
After handling this matter, he not only felt at ease, but also felt that he no longer had to worry about the whereabouts of cash in the future. I'm even a little complacent, feeling that I have become a favorite among collectors.
You really can’t blame him, because these three boxes will be worth at least ten buildings in the future. It is already equal to the wealth that he used to **** food from the tiger's mouth and compete with the "big shots" in his previous life.
With these things, he will just waste money in this life, and he will never be poor!
Finally, there is one more thing that needs to be mentioned, that is, while Hong Yanwu was buying calligraphy, painting, and seal stones, he accidentally picked up a big leak.
In this current period, the acquisition business of the cultural relics store's sales department is beginning to become busy.
This is not only because the social atmosphere is becoming more relaxed, but also because of the blessing of television.
Because many people who want to buy this thing don’t have enough money and can’t resist the temptation of watching a “little movie” at home, they sell some of the valuable things they have saved at home.
There was an old Hui lady wearing a white hat who wanted to buy an emerald ring for no less than 500 yuan.
But when she went to "Rongbaozhai", they thought her things were just jade, and the highest price they offered was only two hundred and eighty yuan.
As for "Cuiwenge" and "Yingguzhai", which specialize in stone-seal and jade sales, they dare not accept them due to regulations because the ring holder is made of gold. Without even looking at it carefully, he asked the old lady to take the things to the bank.
That's it, but Hong Yanwu, who happened to be watching in the "Cuiwen Pavilion" and heard what happened, caught him.
When he saw the ring of the old lady's ring, it was so green that it was almost oily. It weighed ten carats, and the ring's grip was Arabic style. I believed it five points in my heart.
On second thought, even if he bought jade, he wouldn't be at a loss. What's more, the ring is so beautiful. If "Sugar Heart" wears it, there will be no choice.
So he chased it out. When he asked the price, he quickly paid five hundred yuan and got it.
However, after buying this thing, he did not rush to give it to "Tang Xin'er", but patiently waited for a more suitable opportunity...
