The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Chapter 102: More cruel than bandits!

   As the saying goes, the good is afraid of evil, the evil is afraid of horizontal, the horizontal is afraid of life, and the lifeless is afraid of madness! How terrible is it when a person goes crazy? !

   It turns out that Xiang Weirong and Guan Xingquan are still unclear, but this would be considered insight!

   It is Zhang Nan who is "crazy". This is what he did, and it can be said to be more cruel than the bandits in the collection world! Even more unreasonable than robbers! Only crazy people can do it!

   The madman goes out, everyone avoids it!

   Yesterday, after confirming that he would stay in Shanghai for one more day, due to the current bad road traffic conditions, Zhang Nan directly called the Yanxian Materials Bureau: let Director Guo help, and mobilized two semi-trailers to come to Shanghai.

   Yesterday midnight, the truck arrived at the guest house, and the driver was Lao Zhang and Lao Lou of the Materials Bureau's convoy.

   At 8 o'clock this morning, an extended Lincoln arrived at the entrance of the Shanghai Cultural Heritage Store at No. 218-226 GD Road, Shanghai, and it immediately drew passers-by onlookers.

Shanghai Cultural Relics Store is a state-owned Class A cultural relics operating franchise unit. It was founded in the Guangxu period of the late Qing Dynasty. It was originally named "Shanghai-listed antique market". It is a century-old store with a long history and specializing in cultural relics and art treasures. The excellent service with strength and enthusiasm is well-known at home and abroad, and it can be called the number one antique shop in the Far East!

   Zhang Nan is here to scan the goods today!

   And not carrying a sack to sweep—two 8-ton semi-trailers will come directly!

   But there is a problem that made him spit: At present, the Shanghai Cultural Heritage Store has stopped the export business of the Handicraft Import and Export Company!

   Since 1981, the Shanghai Cultural Relics Store has adhered to the policy of "less exports, high foreign exchanges, long water flow", and began to strictly control the export of cultural relics and gradually reduce the number of foreign wholesales.

   (Attention, before the export of cultural relics can be wholesale!)

   Some types of cultural relics that are already rare in China are strictly controlled. For example, the works of the late famous painters Xu Beihong, Fu Baoshi, Pan Tianshou, Dong Xiwen, Wang Shikuo, Li Keran, etc. are not allowed to be exported;

   67 calligraphy and painting masterpieces and representative works of various periods, including Wu Hufan, He Tianjian, Qi Baishi, Feng Zikai, Huang Binhong, Shen Yinmo, Zhang Daqian, and Deng Sanmu, are not allowed to go abroad.

   Since June 18 last year, the Shanghai Handicrafts Import and Export Company has stopped wholesale exporting cultural relics and old handicrafts.

   The company’s inventory of 3 million pieces of cultural relics and old handicrafts are all allocated to the cultural relics department at book prices for preservation, and the large-scale export of cultural relics has since ended.

   After understanding this situation some time ago, Zhang Nan sighed that he did not catch up with the good time!

   Wholesale! wholesale! This is the largest cultural relic store in the Far East, not the largest small commodity city in the Far East!

   I don’t know if Zhang Nan will be struck by lightning!

what to do?

   "Can't wholesale? Then I buy nothing!"

   As soon as the four people entered this huge cultural relics store, it was a sea bigger than the Jinshen cultural relics store!

  Moreover, all kinds of handicrafts and antiques are arranged in different categories and on different floors. If you slowly appreciate and choose, you will not be able to finish them in a few days.

  Some of the products here require foreign exchange coupons, and some can be bought in RMB-but the higher-end products basically require foreign exchange coupons.

   Seeing the Lincoln parked outside and being watched, the staff in the store knew that it was the main customer.

   As soon as he explained his intentions, Zhang Nan made it clear that he was going to clear the field, and even the leaders inside came!

   No wholesale? Then scan it all according to the price!

  Can't export or leave the country?

   I didn’t plan to go abroad!

   Dozens of rooms walked past one by one, and a group of people followed—except for Xiang Weirong, there were also a few cultural relics staff in the cultural relics store behind them, holding a notebook in their hands and quickly making notes.

   The calligraphy, paintings and porcelains here are absolutely fidelity, but the price is much more expensive than the ones in the night market. But that's it, a painting by Qi Baishi only needs to be thousands to a few thousand, what price do you say?

   But there are also expensive ones: the ivory and rhino horn products in the cultural relics store are not cheap whether they are new or old!

   Zhang Nan took a look: Except for the small bits and pieces made of leftovers, other ivory products start at the cheapest $600!

  Expensive, but the craftsmanship is superb!

  The new ivory products are basically produced by the Shanghai Handicraft Factory, a state-owned time-honored brand!

   A whole tooth of about one meter will be carved, and a master craftsman will have to do it for one year! Such a skill, you also recognize it!

   and the cultural relics store directly calls the handicraft factory-"Hurry up and send all the finished large ivory products! Here is especially the overseas Chinese who are scanning the goods. The people are stupid and the money is a lot. Come here!"

   Zhang Nan rounded up all the ivory and rhino horn products in the shop except for small pieces! Extremely brutal! Forcing the store to adjust the goods immediately!

   That Zhang Nan bought ivory along the way, why not go directly to the Shanghai Handicraft Factory to buy it?

   It’s no good because I went there: Ivory products sold to the outside world are at the same price in handicraft factories and cultural relic shops, and there is no such thing as an "ex-factory price" at all.

   The planned economy, the ex-factory price is settled between units in the system, and has nothing to do with customers.

  Except for ivory and porcelain, Zhang Nan looked at the labels and prices one by one. As for the calligraphy and painting, he asked which famous painters' paintings and calligraphy are now in the store, all of which were moved out of the warehouse.

The Shanghai property dealers have a good reputation. Anyway, the things they sell are absolutely fidelity, and they will not be shoddy. Everything will be clearly marked by UU reading www.uukahnshu.com: Zhang Nan does not need to look carefully at each item, just take a look. Just aim.

   Move the warehouse? !

   People buy it at retail price, then sell it! Just leave some foundation, lest the booth will be empty tomorrow.

   "Mr. Zhang, many have not been appraised yet?" said a leader of the cultural relics store surnamed Yan.

   "Manager Yan, then hurry up and estimate. I know that many of you professionals do this. I only have time today."

   This is called a reversal of "hunger marketing". When I leave, you can sell it slowly!

   "But I said Comrade Yan, I plan to buy all in US dollars. There are not so many foreign exchange coupons. You can also complete the foreign exchange earning target. The price is not expensive for me."

  Using US dollars directly would be a bit of a loss compared to using foreign exchange bonds, but even SC Johnson couldn't operate it all at once, reducing the cost of obtaining huge foreign exchange bonds to a level similar to that of the black market exchange rate.

   I didn’t say anything, all those who went to work and were on vacation got together, and even those who retired got started.

   For the cultural relics store, this will be a huge amount of foreign exchange. If you miss it, the superior unit will probably jump!

   There are more than 30 large boxes of official kiln porcelain in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, more than 20 boxes of ivory, rhino horn products, and more than 1,800 famous calligraphy and paintings of various sizes! Excluding other miscellaneous items, I even got two sets of furniture for Huanghuali and Red Sandalwood by the way!

   Now even the leaders of the Municipal Cultural Bureau and the museum were alarmed.

  Coincidentally, the Shanghai Museum is still an acquaintance: the old Li who can't speak.

  Returning overseas Chinese make a big purchase, this is the rhythm of opening a museum!

   Moving house is not so exaggerated!
