Chapter 969: Sweep(1/2)
In Lao She's "Teahouse", shopkeeper Lao Wang once said this.
"In the early years, when I had teeth, I didn't have peanuts to eat. Now I have peanuts, but I don't have any teeth anymore."
This line is undoubtedly trying its best to declare a very important philosophy of life to people.
In fact, it is difficult to have the best of both worlds in life. It is also impossible to be thoughtful about everything and have everything you want come true. You will not wait until you are ready to do anything.
Of course, the converse can also illustrate another equivalent issue.
That is, if someone can get whatever he wants and have whatever he lacks, then he will be the happiest person in the world.
Is there really such a person in the world?
Yes, Ning Weimin is the one.
Now, because he has a platform to give full play to his personal abilities after going abroad, making more money is nothing.
This guy's assets in Japan, because they are at the forefront of global finance, have ushered in another interest rate cut cycle in Japan.
Under the water released by the Bank of Japan, it is growing vigorously almost every day, wishing it could rise at an angle of 45 degrees.
If he is not afraid of being slapped by the strong wind, even if he lies flat, he can earn one or two small and medium-sized domestic factories in a day.
I dare not say that the country is as rich as the enemy, but the county should be qualified if it is as wealthy as the enemy.
So even in China, there is still Yin Yue who is willing to serve as Ning Weimin's rake, a jar for saving money, and abacus beads for accounting.
I didn't let him worry about it at all, and saved another 1.05 million in cash for him.
But on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, after Ning Weimin read the accounts, he was still calm and not too excited.
To put it bluntly, he didn't take this small amount of money seriously at all.
Whether it's one million or two million, it doesn't make much difference to him.
Anyway, just know that your business is making money and not losing money.
In comparison, what he actually cares more about is how to spend the money he earns in the right way.
As we all know, currencies are subject to devaluation.
So if your wealth reaches a certain level, how to manage your existing wealth may be more important than running the business itself.
In particular, the current domestic environment is no better than overseas. Although there are fewer taxes, there are many restrictions and there is a lack of investment channels.
And just the opposite of the Japanese yen, the RMB has started a long-term depreciation cycle.
If you really put the money you earn in a domestic bank, no matter how much interest you pay, it will actually be very uncomfortable.
The best thing is that no matter how much money Ning Weimin earns, he can reasonably digest the cash immediately and strengthen his wealth foundation step by step. That is a blessing.
But the question is, how can this be so easy?
There are only two reasonable places for money to go.
Ning Weimin himself said that expanding investment in the real economy would not count.
Whether he can do it or not ultimately depends on policy.
If the time is not right, then you have to wait, otherwise you will definitely be in trouble if you make a big move.
And relying on buying things to preserve value is unsatisfactory.
Now, unlike in the past few years, there are not many suitable targets.
Like buying a private house, you have to take a chance and it is a sporadic transaction.
Because Ning Weimin bought too many calligraphy, painting and seal stones in the first few years, the prices have already skyrocketed.
Buying stamps is still a good idea, but you can't rush for success. If you want a good price, you have to slowly accumulate funds, which can't keep up with the speed at which Yin Yue makes money for him.
So to be honest, even Ning Weimin himself thinks that making the most of his money in China and achieving a virtuous cycle is a luxury.
But it seems that it is purely evil. God seems to be particularly partial to Ning Weimin, and really loves him as his own son.
As if they were afraid that he would be unhappy, through the donation of cultural relics and the words of the leaders of the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau, a huge treasure house that was at a low value was placed in front of him.
Those are the many cultural relics sold in "Hongguang Pavilion".
There is no doubt that for anyone who is lucky enough to have access to cultural relic collections, the attraction of the inner cabinets of cultural relic stores that have just been opened to the public is very huge.
Because this is one of the few legal channels for ordinary people to purchase cultural relics in this era.
But it has to be said that although the change of "Hongguang Pavilion" from external cabinets to internal cabinets was specially reported once by "Xinwen Lianbo" and even appeared on the front page of "Beijing Evening News", it was not
attract widespread attention from society.
The reason is very simple. Even for those who know about antiquities and love collecting, it is not easy to decide to spend hundreds of yuan to buy a cultural relic.
Don’t forget that at this time, ordinary people in the capital were still working hard to improve their material living standards.
And these things placed in the cultural relics store are, after all, necessities beyond the necessities of life.
Even for Teacher Ma, who had already begun to pick up antiques and started to pick them up, it was the same.
In fact, according to what this man later recalled on the show, although he often visited the cabinets of "Hongguang Pavilion" back then, he only went to look at it and bought very little.
I might go there eight out of ten times, and only one of them would be for shopping.
So speaking of it this way, the happiest person in the world is Ning Weimin.
Compared with others, he not only has money in his hands, but also a place to put it, and he also has human connections. It is indeed the right time, place, and people.
Especially after he went there, he saw with his own eyes that the things there were so cheap and so good.
One pair of eyes is no longer enough, and I wish I could move all the items home.
Even Kang Shude, who accompanied him, was so excited about the trip that his eyes lit up, and he was really happy that his apprentice could pick up the big leak.
As for the quality and price of the cultural relics mentioned, it is really a good deal.
Don’t forget, the cultural relics trade in the past was not open to the outside world, and the prices were not driven up by foreigners at all.
And now that we are letting it go, it is because no one wants to open the inner cabinets.
The initial price cannot be set too high, and even because of the rush to realize cash, it is even 10% lower than the price sold to foreigners.
For example, a Yongzheng official kiln pastel bowl can be purchased for only 350 yuan, and it must be of relatively good quality.
If there are "collapses", "charges", or problems, you may even be able to buy them for a hundred or ten dollars.
But in Ning Weimin's eyes, something like this would cost as much as eighteen million in the future.
You may not necessarily buy something in very good condition, but that is really different.
What about the "Jia Dao" ones? Of course it's a bit worse, basically dozens of dollars lower than the "Yongqian" ones.
The official kilns of "Tongguang" are even cheaper.
The 23cmx7cm plate and bowl is only 300, the 16cmx7 is 50, and the 8cmx3cm is 20.
As for "Guangmin", even big items only cost upwards of fifty.
If you have to move home in piles, a cartload of household items will cost you only 20,000 yuan.
There is a word called "luckily miss Shu", which is probably the most suitable word to describe Kang Shude and Ning Weimin's master and apprentice at this time.
So they were not polite. With the note given by the leader in hand, it was like a big sweep to select goods.
As for what I bought?
It must be from top to bottom, choosing the best first.
Apart from anything else, the first prerequisite must be to keep a close eye on the official kilns.
Then they are sorted according to the year, kiln mouth, whether it is a complete set, and the purpose of the utensils.
Good guys, when these two men pick things up, it’s like buying vegetables at the wet market.
The five offerings in front of the hall are made in sets, and the bowls of the third and third dynasties of the Qing Dynasty are bought in piles.
What kind of watermelon jar, general jar, sun and moon jar, flower mouth jar...
What kind of wall vase, plum vase, garlic vase, phoenix tail vase...
What about Guanyin Zun, Niutou Zun, Carrot Zun, Taibai Zun...
What kind of back pot, pear pot, Boshan stove...
What kind of lying foot bowl, tall foot bowl, water purification bowl...
What kind of goblet, chicken bowl cup, hand cup...
Whenever I see official kiln porcelain from the "Yong-Qian" and "Jia-Dao" periods, I will kill them all and take them all.
From the manager down to the clerk in Hongguang Pavilion, have you ever seen such a rich man buying things?
It was really a thrill to be disturbed by these two men.
In the beginning, we also used the method of posting notes to each other.
That is, when a customer picks something, a clerk will first put a note on the item, which means it is sold, and other customers will not be able to buy it if they like it.
Later I found out that it didn't work anymore.
To be continued...
