Return To 1977 Chapter 729: The meat is rotten in the pot

Buy it, buy it, but the premise is that it is Hong Yanwu's first time to visit these two jade factories, so he should not be too aggressive.
Even in front of relatives like Xu Chongya and porcelain like Song Guofu, you have to be cautious, otherwise you will have to shock them.
In fact, Hong Yanwu made up excuses when he asked them. Claiming to be buying for friends from Hong Kong and Macao, in order to make some money from it.
So even if this kid was greedy and wanted everything, he didn't dare to buy more at that time.
In the Jade Factory in Beijing, Hong Yanwu only took down two of Wang Shusen's high-cui "flower pieces" "Dragon and Phoenix Presenting Auspiciousness" and "Goddess Scattered Flowers", as well as Pan Bingheng's coral "Six-Armed Buddha Locked Dragon".
At the No. 3 Jade Factory, in addition to the jade "Songhe" and "Sanqiu Vase", he also fell in love with a large jade bonsai with several jade dragonflies flying on colorful flower trees.
This kid is more vulgar in choosing these. He knows that jade is valuable, so he chooses almost all green ones.
The coral pieces and jade bonsai were mainly because they were so beautiful that I felt uncomfortable not buying them, so I followed my heart.
Unexpectedly, I got a big deal unintentionally.
The value of "Six-Armed Buddha Locked Dragon" is beyond doubt, and the jade bonsai is also extraordinary. Later I learned that it was a rare large-scale work by "Dragonfly Jia" who had been lost in Beijing.
The total price of these items, under the careful care of the deputy factory director and sales section chief, is almost 30,000 in foreign exchange coupons.
Although Xu Chongya and Song Guofu were shocked when the price was quoted, Hong Yanwu knew full well that he was getting a big advantage.
Because of the same level of things, the "Friendship Store" has to sell this amount per item. Isn't this cost-effective?
As for the factory director and sales section chief, because Hong Yanwu settled with foreign exchange certificates, although the price was not high, it was affordable, and he felt relieved.
What's more, Hong Yanwu is also sensible. Afterwards, he treated guests and gave gifts, which made everyone happy.
After that? From now on, won't it just be a once-in-a-lifetime experience?
The next time Hong Yanwu comes to see him, he will use the word "sticky" and treat himself as a friend.
Either give them good cigarettes and wine, or lead them to continue eating and drinking, and even ask them enthusiastically if they need imported home appliances, claiming that they have the connections.
In this case, a solid foundation of friendship was established between them, and the price was naturally still favorable.
As long as the factory makes a little profit and can keep its balance sheet, these two guys will dare to sell it to Hong Yanwu no matter what kind of treasure it is.
In addition, for long-term reasons and to avoid criticism from employees, Hong Yanwu also worked hard to put on some performances.
He repeated his old tricks, letting the "little daughter-in-law" and his wife pretend to be overseas Chinese once, and also let "Dabao" pretend to be Hong Kong residents.
He then accompanied him to visit the factory. With his extremely "enthusiastic" encouragement, he asked the two "overseas compatriots" to open the cash box on the spot and buy ten or twenty items.
In this way, this boy has become an honorary salesman of two jade factories.
On the contrary, the deputy factory director and sales section chief thought Hong Yanwu was wild and interesting, so they helped the factory sell the most unsaleable backlog of products.
Not only did he thank him from the bottom of his heart, he even helped him win a bonus from the factory.
But in the end Hong Yanwu didn't want it and exchanged it for something.
To put it bluntly, this is like selling someone, and they will help you with some money.
Just tell me whether Hong Yanwu is an adulterer or not?
Hey, as the saying goes, the meat rots in the pot.
Hong Yanwu tried every means to get these things away, but after all, he still kept them in the country. It was better than being really cheap to the foreign devils.
And he also provided funds for the jade factory to engage in creation, resulting in many more masterpieces handed down by the old masters than in the original history.
From this perspective, this should be considered a good thing.
Anyway, from now on, Hong Yanwu's funds will have a new place to go, no matter how much he earns, he will still have somewhere to spend it.
And he not only did this with these two jade factories, he also set his sights on other special crafts factories that could accommodate foreign investment.
You must know that Chongwen District, the capital's craftsmen's residence, used to be concentrated, so the handicraft factories later established by the state were mainly concentrated here.
In addition to the jade factory, the ivory factory, bone carving factory, wood carving factory, material utensil factory, lacquer carving factory, filigree inlay factory, and Zhenyi filigree factory are also in Chongwen District.
The situation in these factories is basically the same. There are still tons of good stuff. I wish I could sell some of the stuff that I have stored in the warehouse.
As for the quality of the goods? Just mention two things and you will understand.
For example, the Ivory Carving Factory has a sideways "Five Hundred Arhats Crossing the Sea".
Five hundred Arhats with different images are engraved on an ivory material weighing 66.5 kilograms and more than 2 meters long.
They were riding dragons, tigers, lions, elephants, deers, unicorns, rhinoceros and other mythical beasts, leaping on the turbulent water waves. The figures, animals and waves were carved in fine and vivid ways.
You must know that even in the current situation where ivory trading is banned in modern society, the official legal repurchase price of raw materials alone is still US$2,100 per kilogram.
Looking at it this way, the ex-factory price of 28,000 yuan for an ivory carving factory is not expensive, right?
Another example is the large-scale furnishing "Forbidden City Corner Tower" with nine beams, eighteen columns and seventy-two ridges made using filigree inlay technology.
Not only is the main body gold. The walls of the turret are made of more than 2,000 pieces of jasper inlaid with gold wire. The eaves are decorated with tiger's eye stone, the pillars are made of agate stone, and the railings are inlaid with turquoise.
Anyone who looks at it will see that it is "ingenious and extremely valuable".
Isn’t the price of 180,000 yuan fair?
So, Hong Yanwu’s worries about how to deal with his wealth have completely disappeared since then.
On the contrary, he felt that the money earned was slow and not enough for him to buy.
This is enough to prove that there is no limit to human greed, and everyone in the world is like this. If you have one thing, think twice, no one thinks there is too much of a good thing.
But fortunately, greed is greed, but Hong Yanwu is not confused. He knows how to cover up and restrain himself. He knows safety first.
Knowing that you can’t make others suspicious of this kind of thing, the best policy is to play "mouse moving" slowly.
So not only did he control the frequency of purchases, he was also very generous in using the Xu family's interpersonal relationships.
Later, he just begged Xu Chongya to take him to the ivory factory again, and never spoke again.
For this matter, I gave Xu Chongya several electronic watches and a lot of fashionable clothes, and I also went to see Xu Bingquan and his wife with good cigarettes and good wine.
Let him, the second sister-in-law, be quite popular with her parents' family.
As for other factories, he has to rely on his own efforts to make a living based on his ability.
When it comes to interpersonal relationships, trouble is trouble, but there are people who care about it.
As long as you are willing to work hard and put your heart into it, there is no friend you cannot make.
Hong Yanwu knew this.
So in the eyes of many people, how to turn strangers into acquaintances and how to turn acquaintances into friends seems to be a difficult task.
But it was not difficult for him. It didn't take long for him to figure out a move that could conquer all directions.
With a very simple method, without even spending a lot of money, he was able to open up a situation in an environment where he didn't know anyone.
He is even more familiar with the factory introduced by Xu Chongya, and more people are interested in him.
