Chapter 243 Who Is Educating Who?
"This is different. A set of furniture costs 3000 yuan, which can buy a house in the suburbs of Beijing."
"You also said that you bought a house in the suburbs, and our furniture is not sold to the suburbs.
All right, big sister!
Just put your heart in your stomach, the consumption power of the Chinese people is greater than you can imagine. Zhang Junping said with a resolute smile.
The eldest sister is good at everything, but because she doesn't have enough vision, she is always timid in doing things.
Of course, this is from Zhang Junping's point of view.
In fact, the elder sister's vision is broader than that of the leaders of many state-owned factories.
"Pingzi, I heard that you are going to open a clothing store and a decoration store. Where did you get so much money? You won't be taking out another loan, will you?"
"No, at present, I don't think I can get a loan."
"Then where do you get the money? The villagers raised more than 1000 million yuan to build factories, dormitories, and buy furniture production equipment..." The eldest sister looked at Zhang Junping worriedly.
Looking at the elder sister's expression, Zhang Junping knew that if he didn't speak clearly, the elder sister probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
"Sister, let me show you something, so you will know." Zhang Junping turned around and took out the stamps he had just put away.
"Sister, do you see what this is?"
"This is a stamp I don't know yet, why are you showing me the stamp?"
"Sister, do you know how much this stamp is worth?"
"How much is it worth?"
"This kind of stamp is called the American Hawaiian Missionary, which was issued by the Hawaii Post Office in 1851, and it has been more than 100 years now.
I don't know how much it is, but this one must be worth more than one hundred thousand dollars.
You see, there are six letters in total, and four stamps are attached to each letter, which is 24, which is 240 million US dollars. "
"It's worth 10 yuan for a stamp of this size, or US dollars? Eldest sister hasn't read much, so you can't lie to her." The eldest sister was full of disbelief.
"Sister, do you know what is rare and expensive?
This stamp has a history of more than 100 years. Think about it, who will keep the letter for more than 100 years?
Moreover, because the paper is too thin and brittle, this kind of stamp is very easy to damage, and it is not easy to preserve.
It will only be preserved under some unexpected circumstances, and it will be even less if it is so well preserved. "
"Even if it's less, who would spend so much money on such a stamp, which is not suitable for food or clothing?" The eldest sister still didn't believe it.
Zhang Junping was speechless, originally wanted to share a piece of good news with the eldest sister, to reassure her, but in the end it was himself who was made extremely depressed by the eldest sister.
"Sister, this is the charm of collecting.
According to your argument, what is not properly eaten and not properly dressed is worthless.
Then my painting is worthless. "
"That's for sure, the eldest sister has wanted to talk about you for a long time, why do you say you spend so much money to buy so many paintings?
I’ve been to that, I’ve seen it at the Beijing Art Gallery, and there’s only a few yuan for a painting there, just what you said... Yes, Xu Beihong’s paintings are only more than ten yuan, the most expensive one That's just over 300 yuan.
Let me tell you Pingzi, don't let others fool you.
Let's do our furniture business in a down-to-earth manner, and don't think about those crooked ways. "
Zhang Junping didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he wanted to open the eyes of the elder sister, but in the end he was educated by the elder sister.
"Also, I also went to the Xinhua Bookstore and the cultural relics store to see the porcelain you collected. The most expensive one, a pair of large vases, only sold for 2000 yuan." The eldest sister raised her hand and gestured, Said to Zhang Junping.
"Sister, antiques are also divided into ages. Different ages have different prices." Zhang Junping explained weakly.
"I know, what are the Qing, Ming, and Song dynasties.
The pair of bottles I'm talking about are... by the way, blue and white porcelain from the Ming Dynasty. "The eldest sister said to Zhang Junping as if I understood it very well.
"Sister, you said that in the cultural relics store, a pair of Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain only costs 2000 yuan?" Zhang Junping was excited and asked quickly.
"That's right! It only costs 2000 yuan, and there is a pair. The huanghuali armchairs you mentioned are only 600 yuan for a pair.
so!Pingzi, let's stop messing with these things in the future, let's just make furniture in a down-to-earth manner, how about selling furniture? "
Zhang Junping was startled by what the elder sister said, and his mind was full of blue and white porcelain vases over one meter high costing 2000 yuan for a pair, and Hainan huanghuali armchairs costing 600 yuan for a pair. He didn't hear what the elder sister said later.
"Got it, ma'am!
You go to work first, I still have something to do, I'll go out for a while. After Zhang Junping finished speaking, he put away the stamps and left the furniture factory with his bag on his back.
why go?
Still need to ask?
Definitely go to the cultural relics store!
A pair of one-meter-high blue-and-white porcelain vases of the Ming Dynasty cost 2000 yuan, and a pair of Hainan huanghuali armchairs cost 600 yuan.
Zhang Junping rode a bicycle and galloped all the way to the cultural relics store.
The cultural relics store is not far away, just in Liulichang.
At the earliest time, it was composed of 88 public-private joint ventures of antique shops.
Later, all of them were nationalized, more than 100 antique shops were reorganized, and cultural relic shops were established.
Zhang Junping searched all the cultural relics stores in Liulichang, but he didn't see the big Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain vase that the elder sister mentioned.
"Hello, comrade, I am from the Chinese Painting Association, and this is my certificate.
I heard that our cultural relics store has a pair of large blue and white porcelain vases that are more than one meter high? "Zhang Junping approached the salesperson of the cultural relics store and asked politely.
Cultural relics stores are divided into inner cabinets and outer cabinets.
The inner cabinet only receives government agencies and experts and scholars, while the outer cabinet receives antique lovers and foreign guests.
Although the country urgently needs to exchange antiques for foreign exchange, it is not stupid to sell real good things to foreigners, so all good things are in the cabinet.
Zhang Junping walked around the cultural relics store, but he didn't see the pair of large Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain vases, so there are two possibilities, one is that they were put into the inner cabinet, and the other is that they were bought away.
The reason why the elder sister saw it was probably because the thing had just been collected and hadn't been appraised yet, so it was temporarily placed in the outer cabinet.
"Oh! You said that pair of large blue-and-white porcelain vases from the Ming Dynasty! Sorry, you are late. Those vases have already been confiscated by the Palace Museum.
If you want to research, you can go to the Palace Museum. "The salesperson looked at Zhang Junping's ID and told Zhang Junping very politely that the vase was gone.
"Then, I heard that we still have a pair of huanghuali armchairs in our cultural relics store?" Zhang Junping asked again, suppressing his disappointment.
"Oh, this, you go to the furniture counter and ask, my side is the porcelain counter.
However, you'd better go directly to the inner cabinet and ask!
Items such as huanghuali armchairs are fine antiques and rarely appear in the outer cabinet. "The salesperson kindly reminded.
