Chapter 968: An Unkind Invitation(2/2)
How come you can still buy it casually with RMB?
You must know that in the past, only foreign guests had the right to purchase these things, and the country wanted to use these things to earn foreign exchange.
Even if he wants to buy it himself, he has to take advantage of the convenience of purchasing for Tan Palace and keep it secret.
Later, when he inquired more carefully, he understood what was going on from the leader's detailed explanation.
I'm sorry, this is also closely related to reform and opening up and the development of domestic tourism.
For no other reason than because the country is open and the economy is developing, the number of domestic and foreign tourists continues to increase.
Now that more people are traveling and tourism awareness has begun to spread, tourism handicrafts have become a hot business.
Many former major handicraft manufacturers have focused on tourism handicrafts as their main business.
And in order to make quick money, almost all of them, like the Jingcheng Materials Factory, gave up the original advantages of traditional craftsmanship and craftsmanship, and specialized in the production of highly industrial, assembly-line products.
Although these things are crudely made, they are produced in large quantities and can quickly seize the market at cheap prices.
Nowadays, not only the tourist attractions are for sale, but also many people have flocked to Liulichang.
Many foreigners who don't know much about antiquities come to the capital just to buy some souvenirs and take them back.
Many people naturally choose such cheap things.
As a result, cultural relics stores that rely entirely on foreign guests will certainly suffer, and the goods in the cabinets will begin to become unsaleable.
At the end of last year, as a last resort, we decided to open internal counters and sell to domestic people in RMB.
At this time, even among practitioners of antiquities and cultural relics, few could realize the value of these post-Kang and Qian antiquities.
They all feel that if they can sell it, it is better than losing it.
To put it bluntly, Ning Weimin is willing to spend money to buy it, which means he is supporting the work of the Cultural Relics Bureau.
There is no doubt that this sounds like fairy music to Ning Weimin's ears.
Just like when he accidentally discovered the treasure of calligraphy and painting with Huo Xin, he saw a big leak in front of his eyes.
It was a coincidence. Yesterday, Ning Weimin listened to Yin Yue's account report. After excluding the funds used to purchase stamps, there was still almost one million. Ning Weimin didn't know where to spend it.
Especially during the Chinese New Year, I also learned from Kang Shude that the house in Ma's Garden has been repaired as before and is almost restored.
Isn’t this just a matter of someone stuffing a pillow into my bed when I want to sleep, and having my son and daughter become one “good” child?
So without saying anything, Ning Weimin became more and more respectful to these people from the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau.
It is said that a wise son is like a father, but in fact a master treats his disciples the same way.
There was no need to say anything explicitly, just by looking at his face, Kang Shude could tell what was going on in Ning Weimin's mind.
So this lunch was interesting. At the suggestion of the leader, we had it at the nearby Hepingmen Roast Duck Restaurant.
During the dinner, Ning Weimin used his eloquent talent to flatter the leaders of the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau, and he also tried his best to compliment several experts.
Although there are some traces of deliberateness, the good thing is that this boy is not only a sensible person, but also has some real things in his belly under Kang Shude's training.
In addition, there is a good master beside me to support me, so I can easily get close to these cultural people, which is even better.
It all fell into place. When Ning Weimin expressed his desire to buy all the porcelain in Hongguang Pavilion as much as possible, it might cost hundreds of thousands.
Although it shocked everyone present again.
But what the people from the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau showed later was a complete surprise.
It was just as Ning Weimin thought. Not only did the leader not object, he expressed it in public.
"That's great. Manager Xiao Ning, you are really generous in doing things. What I didn't say, as long as we have it in the store, you can buy as much as you want. Buy whatever you want. If you like these things, then buy as much as possible.
This is also **** work. If you are really willing to spend hundreds of thousands, that will solve our funding problem. Don’t worry, we will definitely give you a discount, the biggest possible discount."
Ning Weimin was so overjoyed that he couldn't help but raise his glass to express his feelings.
He said that he did not buy these porcelains for resale, but to better protect them and keep them in the country.
So this meal can be said to be a great time for both host and guest.
In the end, it was hard to refuse the hospitality. For the first time, Ning Weimin got a free meal from the government. It was the Cultural Relics Bureau that insisted on paying the bill.
However, Ning Weimin also gave back. He spent his own money to buy good wine and cigarettes at the counter, and distributed them to leaders and several experts.
There is one more thing to say here, being a human being is really a university question.
It's a pity that this course is not offered in universities, and many talented people have spent half their lives to get a glimpse of it.
But in fact, this knowledge is applicable to all walks of life, and it is probably the most affordable knowledge in the world. It can be called "success science".
Take Ning Weimin's donation as an example. On the surface, it seems a pity that he donated so many precious cultural relics, and he seems to have been taken advantage of.
But to be honest, winning the identity of a patriotic businessman, gaining the trust of everyone in the Cultural Relics Bureau, and building a relationship with the Cultural Relics Bureau is definitely more cost-effective than leaving the few antiquities he left behind.
This will first greatly increase his social credit. If the time is right, he can get the government to endorse his business reputation.
And it can also bring him more practical benefits now.
Not only the things in Hongguang Pavilion will belong to him, but based on the price of tens or hundreds of yuan a piece, he can almost keep it.
This means that all the stores and manufacturers under the Cultural Relics Company have opened their doors to him.
Now that he has a pass to places he couldn't go in the past, he can also buy things he couldn't buy in the past.
Regardless of whether the discount is discounted or not, at least in the future, if there are any rare and good products that you want to sell in the Cultural Heritage Bureau's store, you must first say hello to him.
If they encounter an object that even their masters and apprentices are unsure about, these experts can help give them an insight and give them ideas.
How good is this? Isn’t it better than anything else?
