Happy Tycoon

In the end, Yang Jing spent 800 yuan to buy the bronze statue of "Dancing King Shiva undertook the Ganges Descendant".

This is because the bronze statue was made of copper. At the time of 1994, the price of copper was about 16 yuan per catty. This statue weighed about seven kilograms. Even if it is a waste collection station, it can be sold. Selling small three hundred.

Yang Jing wanted to win five hundred yuan, but the boss said he didn't want to do anything, but in the end he could only give eight hundred yuan...

Through this incident, Yang Jing also understood more why the price of antiques in this era is so low. On the one hand, the people don’t have so much spare money in their pockets. The most important reason is that nowadays, because of the lack of information, most of those selling antiques Without knowing the origin of the things in their hands, how can they sell the price up?

Take this bronze statue as an example. If you are in India or if you meet someone who is knowledgeable, let alone 800, you can take it and count your skills! This thing is a serious national treasure. Although it is a national treasure of India, it is also a national treasure, isn't it?

When did you hear that a national treasure can be bought for 800 yuan?

As for how this bronze statue fell into the hands of this dealer, it is actually not difficult to imagine.

In the 1990s, chaotic India often had such unbelievable thefts. It’s better for a large family to be stolen. The theft of the National Museum is not uncommon. What’s even more exaggerated is that even the Prime Minister’s Office was stolen twice in three days. steal......

It is estimated that this bronze statue is the treasure of which museum’s town hall, or which heirloom of a large family with a high surname, was stolen, and then this statue of Buddha was lost to Huaxia without knowing it, but the dealers of China did not Knowing that this is a national treasure of India, after passing it down, it was finally sold to the trader in Panjiayuan for the price of scrap copper, but this trader didn't understand this, so he made Yang Jing confused.

In fact, in the 1980s and 1990s, many things that would be regarded as national treasures in later generations were very low in price, and a large part of them were caused by this reason.

In the early years, I often heard that who and who bought a Qianlong famille rose plate for 300 yuan in Panjiayuan, who bought a manuscript of Mr. Lu Xun for 200 yuan in Liulichang, and who and who spent 400 yuan at Baoguo Temple. Kuan found an authentic piece of Tang Bohu...

In fact, it's all because the people who sell these things don't even know what kind of national treasure they have.

In this age, there is no internet, no smart phone, wherever you want to check something like the later generations, you can get it with a finger. Therefore, it has become more and more difficult to pick up leaks in the later ages, and in this age, it can’t be said It's the same as drinking cold water, but it's much easier than later generations.

I spent 800 yuan to buy a national treasure-class antique worth more than three million US dollars.

However, this bronze statue also caused endless trouble to Yang Jing.

"Damn, how do I get this bronze statue?" I bought this bronze statue just now, but after I bought the bronze statue, Yang Jing realized that this bronze statue was still a big trouble.

The weight of the bronze statue is close to fifteen catties, and it is half a meter high. The most important thing is that this bronze statue was well protected before. If you hug and walk like this, in case one accidentally bumps into it. , That really couldn't even find a place to cry.

But if you don't hold this thing, there is no place to put it!

Today, Yang Jing intends to stay here all day. It would be inconvenient to walk around with such a big guy. The weight alone can exhaust him.

At this time, Yang Jing realized that although he had made a lot of preparations before coming, when something happened, his preparations were still far from enough. At the very least, Yang Jing didn't know where to put the bronze statue in his arms.

After holding the bronze statue and poking a telegraph pole on the edge of the greenhouse area for a long time, Yang Jing temporarily gave up the idea of ​​continuing to go shopping, but planned to find a place to put the bronze statue first.

Not only this bronze statue, the Longquan kiln flower mouth plate in the bag, and the 1944 "Selected Works of Mao" cannot always be kept in the bag. One of these two things is afraid of touching, and the other is quite heavy. It's quite tiring to carry it.

It should be known that before Yang Jing crossed, he not only prepared a full 100,000 yuan of "four heads" hundred yuan bills, he also bought two 500 grams of "little yellow croaker" from the jewelry store in order to prevent any accidents, and put them in. I brought a piece in my bag.

Counting these things, the things in the backpack alone weigh more than ten kilograms. If you go to the antique market with such heavy things on your back, it is purely to give yourself eye drops.

Thinking of this, Yang Jing walked out holding the bronze statue. Yang Jing's idea was to see if he could temporarily rent a room in the opposite house to store these things, and then take them away together when he left.

But after Yang Jing walked to the gate, he was suddenly shocked. It's only about five o'clock in the morning, and it's five o'clock in the winter in the morning. At this point, where are the common people who get up? Where do I go to find a house to rent?

Yang Jing stood alone at the gate of the market holding the Buddha statue alone, and that feeling was really miserable.

But there are always many kind people in this world.

Just after Yang Jing stood for a while, the door of the duty room at the gate opened, and a market worker in uniform walked out.

"Young man, have you encountered any difficulties?" The staff member's voice was very gentle, completely different from the cold wind in the early morning.

Yang Jing was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that his actions fell in the eyes of this staff member, which obviously made him think that he had encountered difficulties.

Looking at the duty room, Yang Jing's heart moved, and then he said: "This comrade, I really encountered some difficulties."

"Come here, talk in the room, it's weirdly cold outside." The staff member greeted Yang Jing into the room enthusiastically. As soon as he entered the room, Yang Jing hummed twice, stimulated by the oncoming heat.

It has been freezing outside for more than an hour, and there is nothing more comfortable than being able to enter this kind of warm cabin.

"Comrade, have you encountered any difficulties?" the staff asked kindly.

Yang Jing smiled bitterly: "This comrade, I only came to Yanjing recently. I heard that there is a ghost market in Panjiayuan, so I came here early this morning. I don’t have a place to put these things I bought, but I don’t want to go back so early, so I just want to see if I can rent a house nearby. But it’s only now..."

The staff member smiled and said, "No wonder you are a foreigner, and you don’t know the situation in Panjiayuan. But since you have encountered such a situation, it is not appropriate to rent a house now. I can’t help you put your things here first. , I’ll give you a receipt, and I’ll take things away when you leave."

"Is this appropriate?"

"Hehe, there is nothing appropriate or inappropriate, as long as you rest assured with me, I guarantee that your things will not be lost here."

Of course Yang Jing wanted to find a place to store things, but Yang Jing was still a little worried about this staff member who looked after the door. After all, these things in your hands are really old things with a wide open door. As long as you bring them back to 2o17, picking out any one is a good thing worth more than one million.

But it won't work if you don't put it here. At this time, where do you let Yang Jing go to find a house? Can't you just smash the door of someone's house at this point and say you want to rent someone's house, right? Doesn't someone beat Yang Jing out with a fire stick?

But if Yang Jing is to stay here so not to go to the ghost market, this is obviously not what Yang Jing wants.

He has done so much preparation and accumulated so much treasure, in order to come to this age to make a good purchase in the ghost market. If he stays here and looks at these things, then he is really sorry for those before him. get ready.

The staff seemed to see Yang Jing's hesitation, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, no one has temporarily stored things here before. Panjiayuan is still a little bit off, some from Haidian and Xicheng. People who come here often store things here if they buy things temporarily. Don’t worry, I’ll give you a receipt to guarantee that your things will be indispensable."

People say things like this. If they refuse to say anything, it would be too shameful for others, and Yang Jing really has no place to put this bronze statue, so he smiled and nodded and said, "Master, that's true. Excuse me.” As he said, Yang Jing took out two boxes of camel cigarettes from his bag and put them on the table. “Master, these are cigarettes I brought from England. They taste good. You can try them.”

"Yeah, this is a rare thing, thank you." The staff didn't want to worry, and smiled and accepted the two packs of cigarettes.

Yang Jing thought for a while, but in the end he didn't leave the contents of the bag, only the bronze statue. In this era, very few people can recognize this thing in China, and it is estimated that no one has the idea of ​​hitting this bronze statue.

"Yeah, where is this Buddha statue? I can't see it! But this shape is really rare!"

The staff obviously did not recognize the origin of this bronze statue, but still left the name "Four Arms Dancing Bronze Statue" on the receipt. This made Yang Jing somewhat relieved.

After taking the receipt, Yang Jing thanked him and walked out, and soon returned to the greenhouse again. However, after such a delay, there seemed to be more people in the big shed area, and many people were surrounded in front of many stalls, and Yang Jing couldn't squeeze in front even if he wanted to see it.

In desperation, Yang Jing had to find stalls with few people.

That's right, this era is not like Panjiayuan more than two decades later, when there are more sellers than buyers. In this era, there are far more people who come to Panjiayuan to shop for treasures than those who set up stalls, especially when there is a ghost market, there are many people in front of almost every stall.

In a corner of the greenhouse, Yang Jing saw a seller of old books and newspapers.

At this time, the old book area of ​​Panjiayuan has not been moved to the far west of the market. At this time, whether it is selling old books, miscellaneous items, and stones, they are all concentrated in the large shed area.

There were not many people at this stall, so Yang Jing leaned in.

"Boss, what do you want? I have a lot of old books, old newspapers, and many other materials here." The boss is very enthusiastic, and the other stalls are surrounded by several people or even more than a dozen people. He is deserted and deserted here. One came, and he had to catch whatever he said.

Yang Jing squatted down and looked at the things in the stall with the help of the dim light.

Sure enough, this stall is dominated by old books and newspapers, but whether it is old newspapers or old books, most of them are not very good.

Those old newspapers and periodicals are mostly newspapers and periodicals before and after the liberation. Although it has been a long time, they do not have much collection value. As for the old books, they are mostly old books from the Republic of China period, and they are not very well preserved.

No wonder there is no one at this stall. As long as you know a little bit of knowledge, you will never waste time at this stall.

Yang Jing shook his head slightly, and was about to leave, when he was suddenly attracted by the stack of manuscripts in the corner of the booth.

"This is..." Yang Jing's heart jumped twice involuntarily with this look, and then Yang Jing picked up the very old publication on the top.

Picking up this slightly old but well-preserved publication and looking at it, Yang Jing was taken aback by the four words in this publication.

This turned out to be the inaugural issue of "New Youth", "Youth Magazine"!

The cover of this magazine is light yellow. There is a black frame on the front of the cover. The top of the cover is La-Jeunesse written in French. This word means "youth" in French. Below this line of French words, there is a row of young people sitting upright; under this black frame, from right to left are the "Youth Chronicles" arranged vertically in red font. The head of the person, on the far left is the first six characters of the first volume arranged in a vertical version; and at the bottom of the cover is the publisher of this publication—Shanghai Qunyi Publishing House.

"Damn, this turned out to be the inaugural issue of "New Youth"!" Yang Jing was really surprised.

"New Youth" magazine is a very influential revolutionary magazine in my country in the 1950s and 20s of the last century. The original name was "Youth Magazine". The second volume was renamed "New Youth". It played an important role during the May Fourth Movement. effect.

As for the magazine in front of him, Yang Jing dared to confirm that if he read it correctly, this is the first issue of "New Youth", that is, "Youth Magazine"!

Although "New Youth" is not a rare ancient book, it has quite important historical significance, especially for the youth organization of China, it has a height that other books and periodicals cannot match. Its preciousness is definitely not below those rare books of ancient books.

But how can such a precious publication appear in such a stall? Shouldn't this kind of publication appear in major libraries or museums?

Unbelievable Yang Jing brazenly activated his appraisal skills. In front of such a precious publication, it was nothing to waste that little energy.

Sure enough, the answer given by the Holy Ring told Yang Jing that this was indeed the first issue of "New Youth" published on September 15, 1915.

After the Holy Ring gave the answer, Yang Jing felt that his hand holding the publication was a bit trembling, but when he looked at the stack of publications again, he almost threw the "New Youth" in his hand.

It turns out that under the "New Youth", there is another "New Youth", and looking at it, it is obvious that this publication is also very old.

Yang Jing didn’t believe in evil, and he pulled down a bit. As a result, all that came into view was "New Youth", and from the second volume of the first volume to the first volume of the second volume, it was changed to "New Youth". One of the magazines is not bad, and there is "New Youth" below, but the issue number has been changed to the third and fourth volumes...

"Damn! This boss is awesome! He has collected a whole set of "New Youth" magazines!" Yang Jing almost called out excitedly.
