Happy Tycoon

In these separate rooms, there are a large number of old objects, and at a rough estimate, there are at least hundreds of them.

　　 Two of the largest old objects attracted Yang Jing's attention the most.

　　 "This, is this the Arhat bed of Xiaoye Zitan or Ming Dynasty" When Yang Jing touched the dark bed with his hand, he couldn't help but asked a little excitedly.

The appraisal result given by 　　 Saint Ring proves that the bed in front of me, which is somewhat similar to the modern two-seat sofa, is an Luohan bed built in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also made of authentic lobular red sandalwood.

Pete Wu put up a big thumb at Yang Jing, and said with a smile, "The boss is so insightful, he can tell the origin of this Luohan bed at a glance. That's right, this Luohan bed is indeed a bed from the Ming Dynasty. I also asked someone to appraise it before buying it."

　　 "How much is this bed?"

"It's cheap and scary. I collected this Luohan bed and that Babu bed from a waste collection station. The Ming Dynasty Huanghuali Babu bed and this Luohan bed cost me 300 in total. A lot of money"

　　 Yang Jing is also completely speechless. The babu bed of Huanghuali is good to say, but this Luohan bed of small leaf red sandalwood is really a rare treasure. This is a Luohan bed made of small-leaf red sandalwood, not the kind that is pieced together with small materials.

　　 Although the lobular red sandalwood used to make this bed is not as big as the material used in the red sandalwood bookcase of the Qianlong master, it is definitely not small. If it is placed in the original time and space, the Luohan bed alone is invaluable.

Seeing Yang Jing not speaking, Peter Wu explained to the side, "Mr. Ale told me that when I let me buy some old things in Yanjing, he once told me that I should pay more attention to those waste collection stations. My old man God, I really didn’t expect that there would be so many good things in Yanjing’s waste collection station. Not only old furniture, some ancient bronzes, ironware, and even celebrity calligraphy and paintings, you can see them there.”

Pete Wu pointed to another room and said, "This room is filled with calligraphy and paintings that I bought from the owner of the waste collection station. Those bosses also understand that these ancient people's calligraphy and paintings are valuable, so they are kept separately. These calligraphy and painting cost more money than those old furniture."

　　 Yang Jing looked over and found that there were many painting tubes in the room. Presumably Pete Wu put these paintings in the painting tubes after he collected them.

Yang Jing resisted the desire to open those painting tubes, but said faintly, "These ancient calligraphy and paintings must be protected, and they should not be kept in the painting tube for a long time. Two or three of them must be taken out in a year. Hang it up in the coming month. It’s best to hang it in a dark place in the main room. Well, your identity is different now. You can ask the experts from the Palace Museum to come and see these paintings, the restoration that should be restored, and the mounting that should be mounted. , Be sure to keep these calligraphy and paintings. But you don’t need to tell them the origin of these calligraphy and paintings. If they ask, you just say they got them from a friend."

　　 Pete Wu Neng was selected by Mike Aller as the person who presided over the work in Yenching. He was naturally a very smart person. He knew what his boss meant, and nodded to express his understanding.

　　 Yanjing's waste collection stations in the late 1970s and early 1980s can be said to be a Taobao paradise for antique lovers. Those waste collection stations, especially large-scale state-owned waste collection stations, often contain many jaw-dropping old objects.

In fact, there are already people fighting for business with Yang Jing. For example, Ms. Chen Lihua, who is later called the "Red Sandalwood King", is now quietly purchasing red sandalwood and mahogany old furniture. Among them, the waste collection station is her main source of acquisition. one.

　　 There is also the old man Ma Weidu, who is also quietly buying old things like that Ms. Chen Lihua.

　　 However, the vast majority of antique lovers have not set their sights on these waste collection stations. It will take a few more years before they will notice that the places where waste products are originally full are actually the biggest treasures.

　　 These things were all told by Yang Jing when he was a child, Mr. Yang, who had not retired at that time, and he was working in the Palace Museum. Naturally, he was very clear about these matters.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Jing did not hesitate to travel to the Cayman Islands in 1980 to earn foreigners' money through London Gold, and then set up the Dragon Fund to ask Mike Aller to find someone to invest in the Three North Shelterbelts in Yanjing. Give the Dragon Fund a high enough identity, and let the people in charge of the Dragon Fund buy these old objects in China.

　　 I didn’t accept it, so someone else must have taken it away. Moreover, the purchase of these old objects by oneself is definitely not to sell them for money. As long as these precious antiques are purchased, their only end is to enter their own private museum.

　　 "Pitt did not have enough funds to buy these things" Yang Jing asked Pete Wu when he walked back with great satisfaction after reading the old objects in these houses.

　　 "Boss, it's okay. I don't know if I don't come to Yanjing, these old things in Yanjing are really cheap and scary. Especially now that I use foreign exchange coupons to buy these things, they are very popular."

"Boss, our U.S. dollars cannot be used directly in Yanjing. Unless it is a large amount of U.S. dollars like buying a house and investing in it last year, we can directly connect with Huaxia's bank. Otherwise, for ordinary consumption, U.S. dollars are useless here. The only way to take advantage of this is to go to the bank to exchange for the foreign exchange bills that started to circulate on April 1st last year, and then use this foreign exchange bills for consumption. However, this kind of foreign exchange bills seems to be more useful than the U.S. dollar, and even more so. The national currency is more popular. However, we use foreign exchange certificates to buy things, which seems to be a bit of a loss."

Yang Jing waved his hand and said, "You are of Chinese descent. I must know that there is an old Chinese saying that suffering is a blessing. Remember, Pete, we are foreigners. What's the matter. And, as your boss, I can still afford this loss."

　　 "I see, boss."

　　 Pete Wu said that Yang Jing understands this kind of loss, but Yang Jing knows better that this kind of small loss is very necessary to eat.

In the 1970s and 1980s, when China was just reforming and opening up, there used to be many things with Huaxia characteristics. The most famous one was the "dual track system". Not only was there a "dual track system" for various materials, but also foreign exchange, which was related to the country. At the most basic level, the "dual track system" is also implemented.

　　 For example, in 1981, the official exchange rate of China’s U.S. dollar to the national currency was 117, but there is also an internal exchange rate in China, which is 1:28.

　　 The reason for this situation is also directly related to the national conditions at the time.

　　In that era, the country was extremely scarce of all kinds of materials and foreign exchange reserves were pitifully small. Because of the small foreign exchange reserves and the large amount of domestic currency, this resulted in the emergence of this dual-track exchange rate system.

　　 Especially in the late 1970s, as China's tourism industry began to develop, foreign economic and cultural exchange activities also continued to increase, and more and more foreigners came to China. At that time, Huaxia implemented a unified national currency market, prohibiting the circulation of foreign currencies in the country, and foreign currencies could not be directly exchanged with national currencies. In order to facilitate the consumption of foreigners, overseas Chinese, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan compatriots in China, Hua Xia Bank began to issue foreign exchange vouchers on April 1, 1980.

　　 So, in that era, a kind of "currency" that was not a currency appeared in China, which was a smash hit in that era.

The emergence of foreign exchange coupons has caused foreigners to come to Huaxia Bank to exchange foreign currency into foreign exchange coupons at the exchange rate at the time. The denominations are 100 yuan, 50 yuan, 10 yuan, 5 yuan, 1 yuan, and 5 yuan. There are 7 types of jiao and 1 jiao, the face value is equivalent to the national currency, and loss is not allowed.

　　 Although its face value is equivalent to the national currency, it is more bullish than the national currency. At that time, the supply of Huaxia's materials was very tight. You needed tickets for shopping, food tickets for rice, and cloth tickets for cloth. If you wanted to buy scarce commodities such as color TVs and refrigerators, not only were the prices high, but the supply was very small. In order to buy a color TV, some people may not be able to buy it even if they line up at the entrance of the store at night. However, if you use foreign exchange to exchange certificates, you will save such troubles, which is the unity of tickets and currency. Use foreign exchange coupons for shopping, you don't need to have tickets anymore. Because of this, foreign exchange coupons have been highly speculated on the black market. At the peak, 1 yuan foreign exchange coupons can be exchanged for 5 yuan national currency.

For example, if Pete Wu wants to exchange foreign exchange certificates at Hua Xia Bank, he can only exchange them at the official exchange rate at the time, that is, 100 US dollars can only be exchanged for 170 foreign exchange certificates, and if Pete Wu purchases these old objects without national currency. But if you use foreign exchange bonds to purchase, then you can only consume according to the real currency value of the foreign exchange bonds.

For example, Pete Wu took a fancy to a Huanghuali armchair from the Qing Dynasty. This armchair was only sold for 20 yuan in this era, so Pete Wu needed to take out foreign exchange coupons of about 117 yuan to buy this Huanghuali armchair. .

　　 But if the 117 yuan foreign exchange coupons are sold to those who reverse the currency on the black market such as Friendship Store and Yabao Road, how much currency can be sold? It is about 40 to 50 national currency.

　　In other words, if Peter Wu uses foreign exchange certificates to buy the Huanghuali armchair, he will probably lose 20 to 30 national currency.

　　 In that era, 30 yuan was equivalent to one month’s wages for a worker, enough for a family of three to eat for a month without worry.

　　 If this kind of loss is strictly calculated, it is not small.

　　 But even if it is not a small ~ www.readwn.com~ Yang Jing will suffer this loss. Yang Jing is very aware of the huge amount of US dollars in his hand. In this era, 1.6 billion US dollars is more than half of all China's foreign exchange reserves.

　　 In 1981, China’s foreign exchange reserves were only US$270.8 billion

If Yang Jing releases the U.S. dollars in his hand into foreign exchange certificates, China will naturally welcome it with both hands high, but if the exchanged foreign exchange certificates are converted from the black market into national currencies at the black market exchange rate, even if only a tenth of the exchange rate is exchanged. First, it will also cause great turbulence in China's economy.

　　 This is absolutely something that the Chinese government does not allow

　　 Yang Jing knew very well that if he dared to do this, the country would definitely expel himself and his people from the country without hesitation. It would be absolutely impossible to enter China with the identity of Michael Lynch in the future.

　　 Therefore, this kind of seemingly drenched thing is absolutely impossible to do. Foreigners like Pete Wu who seem to hold huge amounts of US dollars will definitely be closely monitored in this era. Once he dares to do something out of the ordinary, the state is absolutely ruthless in starting.

　　 Besides, Yang Jing never thought of doing this. My own money is earned from foreigners, and then I use this money in China, where foreign exchange is in short supply. Although I suffer a little loss, compared to my huge net worth, this loss is even a dime. Not on. Moreover, suffering from this kind of loss can make the country take a high look at you, so why not do it?

　　 With this kind of loss in exchange for returning to the country, he turned one eye and closed one eye to his own purchase of old objects. Yang Jing felt that it was a good deal.

　　 In this regard, a deficit of tens of millions of dollars is nothing to Yang Jing.
