Chapter 211: Dreaming
Go away gracefully and come back sweating profusely.
Ning Weimin took out all the money in his pocket.
I returned to Bao Duo'er, spent nearly a thousand yuan including the foreign exchange coupons and RMB, and got two sacks of calligraphy and painting.
With the help of warehouse manager Xiao Qi, even moving downstairs was a waste of effort.
Fortunately, it was very close to the front door. Ning Weimin asked Huo Xin to help look after things and ran to get a tricycle.
So he, a foreign comprador in suits and ties, finally fell into Huo Xin’s stunned eyes.
Sitting on the back of the tricycle like a "Li Ben'er", escorted these things to No. 2 Courtyard of Shan'er Hutong.
Although when he got out of the car later, Ning Weimin accidentally cut a big hole in his trousers, so more than 100 yuan was directly reimbursed.
Because my pockets were empty and I had to go into the courtyard to get money in cash, the tricycle driver complained unhappily.
But it doesn't matter.
Today's harvest was enough to cover up this series of unpleasantness, and still made him as happy as a child holding a lollipop.
Actually, when Kang Shude came back from work that day.
As soon as he entered the house with the curtains drawn tightly, what he saw was that the chandeliers, standing lamps, and table lamps in Ning Weimin's house were all turned on.
More than fifty paintings are hung all over the wall, spread out on the table, and even on the bed, and they are admiring them happily.
"Hey, you brat, you stay away from home all day long. When you finally come back, you don't ask me to cook or clean up the house. You make me even more messy. And you turn on so many lights? It's a shameful waste..."
“Oh, old man, which month didn’t I pay for the electricity bill? Besides, what else are we going to cook? We’ll eat out later, and I have to treat you well. You should come over and take a look first. , look at all the good things I got back here..."
The old man put down the bag a little unhappily, and waited until he slowly came over to look at it before he said anything.
"Just here? Do you think you can do this? Aren't they Fu Baoshi, Pan Tianshou, and these paintings by Qi Baishi. Are they fresh? Not fresh."
"That room of yours Isn’t there still a small 200 pieces in there? In the past, you made money by buying stamps, but now you just buy paintings?”
"I have to say something to you. Why don't you pay attention to these porcelains and bronzes recently? You haven't even got one or two serious things back. Are you not going to the ghost market anymore? I taught you Isn’t it all for nothing?”
“Hey, you gave me all the stuff in the air-raid shelter. I’m a little tired of it. Just give it to me.” I'll bring back something I'm interested in, so you have filial piety..."
Ning Weimin really didn't expect that his master would be so resentful recently, so he quickly apologized and apologized.
"I was wrong, I was wrong. It's my fault that I don't come back often. I don't blame you for not liking me."
"You can always learn from me when it comes to porcelain. . Now considering the acquisition cost, it is not very cost-effective to buy porcelain. I can only buy it when I see a treasure that cannot be missed.”
"On the contrary, the price of this calligraphy and painting is rising every day and is very stable. If we don't take the opportunity to get more, we will really miss it. I am afraid of regretting it in the future."
This is true. , especially the facts have fully proved Ning Weimin's vision.
Since he made a mistake about printing the stamps, Ning Weimin has more than doubled the calligraphy and paintings he bought.
Even Kang Shude has to admit that this apprentice is very accurate in reading the market, and he is not as good as him.
But in his mouth, the old man has to be tougher.
"You are just a small money person. You make calculations every day and pull the beads on your abacus. Don't say I didn't warn you. It's easy to suffer big losses if you take advantage of small things. When doing big things, it's useless to rely on calculations. It's still in the stomach. Knowledge and sophistication come first."
Ning Weimin pretended to be submissive.
"Hey, yes, I remember it. Thank you for your teaching."
But the old man was dazzling and unmoved.
“No, you’re just trying to look the other way with me. Okay, tell me, how much did you charge for these things? Let me see how much advantage you took.”
Now Ning Weimin was happy and stretched out his fingers, feeling proud.
"They take care of me and give me a flat price. The foreign exchange coupon is twenty, the RMB is twenty-five..."
Kang Shude was confused.
“This isn’t cheap either! It’s almost the same as the price in stores outside! These pictures of Qi Baishi are worth buying for you, they’re almost half cheaper...”
Ning Weimin was quite excited, curling his lips and his tone suddenly rose.
"Oh, why didn't you understand? I didn't say a foot, but a piece!"
"Ah?!" The old man also shouted, and then he stuttered.
"This...this...this is impossible..."
Of course he understood how cheap this was.
"How is it impossible?"
Ning Weimin lowered his voice again.
But there was a smile on his face, as happy as a sunflower.
"I'm telling you, where are you? I went there today and there were a lot more in the library, at least tens of thousands..."
Kang Shude blinked Blinking, as if in a dream.
"I...I said, don't play around, kid! You really scare me..."
"Oh, don't you know me? I'm just a coward. I promise , absolutely reasonable and legal..."
"That is to say, if you send the painting to Liulichang tomorrow, you can make several times as much as you want... "
"That's not true! "
Kang Shude couldn't say anything.
His level of shock at this time was not much better than when Ning Weimin entered the warehouse a few hours ago.
On this day, Ning Weimin treated the old man to "Lao Zhengxing" "Braised Water" and "Xiang You Eel Paste".
Rao Shi drank a pound of Jimo old wine and took a bath in the nearby Tsinghua Pool where Bian Jianjun worked.
But when he got home, Ning Weimin was also tossing in bed and couldn't sleep.
It’s so annoying!
As soon as he closed his eyes, he could see thousands of scrolls, stacked like mountains, floating in front of his eyes.
Wealthy as a country, priceless!
No wonder it is said that small money depends on earning, while big money depends on life!
If it weren’t for his great luck and meeting the eldest lady Huo Xin, no matter how capable he was, he would never have had such an opportunity to grow his hair?
Twenty years less struggle? It’s not an exaggeration to say that it lasts two lifetimes!
It seems that he is indeed favored by God, and he came here just to be a tycoon.
Look, Ning Weimin considers it lucky to know Huo Xin again.
What does this mean?
It shows that wealth is the most lustful thing, it shows that people have the problem of healing their scars and forgetting the pain, and it shows that people are not taking advantage enough.
Even when eating mutton skewers, I eat one skewer and think about two skewers, and eat two skewers and think about ten skewers, let alone discover so many precious calligraphy and paintings.
Anyway, no matter how you put it, Ning Weimin was completely obsessed with the scroll in that warehouse.
After turning over the biscuits for a long time, I finally managed to stare at them.
When he got up the next day, he found that the clock was already nine o'clock and he was the only one left in the room.
The old man only left a note for him on the table, saying that he would not be back for lunch and asked him to take care of himself.
Well, in this case, he has no intention of going to work.
After washing up in a hurry, without even eating breakfast, I called Huo Xin and told her to go to work tomorrow.
I went to the taxi station at Qianmen to charter a 212 jeep and went straight to Chongwenmen Hotel to collect the foreign exchange coupons.
For no other reason than because he was very clearly aware that what was in front of him was a golden opportunity.
Since you can buy it, you should buy as much as possible. This is the truth.
(To be honest, anti-theft stickers are purely a helpless move. Anti-theft can only prevent instant theft. But we cannot let these people laugh at genuine readers. Hope you understand)
