Also, the good side comes from the cinema.
Hong Yanwu and his gang are making crazy money, and their business hours have begun to expand to all day. Income has doubled as a matter of course.
This result directly led to the rapid increase in the number of seal stones and famous calligraphy and paintings in Hong Yanwu's hands.
In this year, it was difficult to find large-scale works of Qi Baishi and Xu Beihong that were larger than five feet in size on the market in Beijing.
Ninety percent of the capital's stock, four to five hundred large paintings by the two painters, were all acquired by Hong Yanwu.
If there is no accident, he should now be the largest collector of Qi Baishi and Xu Beihong's works.
As for the large-scale works of other famous artists, there are eight to nine hundred pieces in total. If we look at it according to the standards of later generations, the transaction price of any one of these works at an auction house should be over 100 million.
In addition to traditional Chinese paintings, Hong Yanwu also bought Tianhuang stone and chicken blood stone. Basically, once you see the "super large materials" you can see, you won't let them go.
If one kilogram is used as a standard, Hong Yanwu has about a dozen Tianhuang stones and chicken blood stones that exceed this weight.
The largest medium-plate cooked Tianhuang weighed 4915 grams, one pound heavier than the "Tianhuang King" recognized by later generations in his memory. It can be called a national treasure.
He bought it at the "Chinese Arts and Crafts Store" by speaking "Niaoyu", wearing a fake tie sewn by Su Jin, pretending to be a Hong Kong passenger catching a flight. The purchase price reached RMB 58,000.
This incident even made the news in the newspapers, that is, Hong Yanwu slipped out of the mall manager's office very quickly. Only then did the reporter who arrived belatedly take a picture of him, like the Japanese soldier who "stealed landmines" in the movie, bending down to move "Tian Huang" away.
But from this we can also know that the various "kings" in later generations are not accurate. In fact, there are many good things that have been put away early and never have the chance to be seen by the public.
With such top-notch treasures, Hong Yanwu purchased more than 30 grams of six-sided aniseed, which is countless, and the amount increases every month.
According to his own estimation, he has swept through more than half of the products available on the market. If all the stones were added together, the number would be over a thousand yuan.
If these objects were preserved to this day, they would be enough to support him in opening a stone seal museum that would shock both China and the world.
Of course, since the calligraphy, paintings and seal stones he bought are irreplaceable and scarce, he sold one less than one. This will inevitably cause market price turbulence.
In fact, due to Hong Yanwu's purchase regardless of price, the prices of Qi Baishi and Xu Beihong's works in the capital have been rising. Now, even sketches and albums under four feet have doubled compared to when he first purchased them. .
Relatively speaking, the increase in seal stone is a little smaller. After all, the quantity is large. There is less aniseed with an amount of more than 30 grams, and there is still aniseed with less than 30 grams in stock.
So it only increased by about 30%. Tianhuang stone costs 13 yuan per gram, chicken blood stone costs 10 yuan per gram, and hibiscus stone costs 8.5 yuan per gram.
But then again, this is taking advantage of the closed country and planned economy.
Otherwise, according to the common sense of market rules, if someone buys these things, the market will already feel it. Merchants will inevitably take the initiative to significantly increase prices. But now, you have to follow the instructions from your superiors, so the increase is very limited.
It is interesting to say that this year, the exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar began to rise.
The leaders of the cultural relics store noticed an abnormality in the market and mistakenly believed that the increase in calligraphy, painting and seal stones was due to the impact of the exchange rate. After the meeting, no one paid too much attention to the price trend.
Otherwise, if the market is transparent and the information is accessible, the country will definitely notice that there are people rushing to buy, and will proactively hesitate to sell, and introduce control measures.
In short, Hong Yanwu copied it.
To be honest, the calligraphy, painting and sealing stones in his hand cost more than 600,000 yuan, but if evaluated at the current market price, they would be worth 1.1 million yuan. I really made half a million just by lying down.
This is not a hype at all, it is just a result of his normal acquisition. If it really comes to the international market, its value will be immeasurable.
Because in Hong Kong, Taiwan and even Japan, although the prices of these calligraphy, painting and seal stones are also at a low level, they are two or three times higher than in China.
Finally, during this period, there are two other things related to consumption worth mentioning.
They are particularly positive and prove that our country is changing for the better.
First, in this summer, the "Jingcheng Roast Duck Restaurant" that had been renamed during the "movement" finally restored the time-honored "Judequan" brand that has been in use for nearly a century.
Half a year later, in December 1979, "People's Pictorial", the largest-circulation color poster in the country, introduced "Judequan" roast duck in three pages for the first time. Suddenly, roast duck once again became a symbol of gourmet food in the hearts of all Chinese people.
Its charm is so great that it even attracted several food lovers to pool their money to buy train tickets from Shanxi to Beijing, just to taste the famous food that shines in the pictures.
When people's desire for delicious food was once again stimulated, people also discovered the charm and commercial value behind "time-honored brands".
Since this period, countless time-honored brands across the country have gradually begun to regain their business traditions and business methods that have been lost for many years.
Two, in the summer of 1979, a plane flew across the Pacific Ocean from the United States and landed at the "Capital Airport".
Among the passengers who walked down the gangway, there were five people with special missions. They are a group of "American Automobile Company", and among them there is a Chinese-American consultant named Shen Jianbai.
What impressed them the most in Beijing was the uniform "212 Jeeps" on the streets at that time.
In fact, this is exactly the purpose of their trip.
This was the year the Republic announced its policy of no longer restricting private ownership of cars. These Americans came up with the idea of finding partners in the bicycle kingdom to produce cars.
After lengthy negotiations, in 1985, the first car "Cherokee" produced by a Sino-foreign joint venture was born in "Jingcheng Jeep Automobile Co., Ltd."
This is a light off-road vehicle with pure American origin, but people who bought Cherokee at that time almost always used it as a sedan. In the history of automobile development in Beijing, this big guy played an eye-catching role.
The real significance of this cooperation is not how successful this car is. Rather, this marks the beginning of the use of foreign capital and technology to develop our country's own automobile industry.
Yes, that's it, this summer, no matter from any social point of view. In addition to the large number of people, the characteristics of the group in our country are two words - hunger and thirst.
Both mentally and physically.
Under this scorching sun, almost everyone is eager for more rapid change.
