The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

　　 Every cultural relic management unit will have a warehouse. I don’t know how long it was. From the 1980s to the mid-1990s, what was the actual management situation of each cultural relic management unit?

　　 At that time, there were a lot of cultural relics and old things in the warehouses of the cultural relics management committees in various places. Even the museums in the sub-provincial cities could not hold most of them, let alone the county-level cultural management committees.

　　 99.9% of the county towns do not have museums. The most exquisite cultural relics are delivered, while relatively ordinary things can only accumulate dust in the warehouse.

　　 But sent by the people, dug up by the construction company, sent by the waste recycling station... After a period of time, the warehouse will reach the point where it must be cleaned!

Starting in the early 1990s, county-level units will also set up cultural relic shops. Those old things that can’t be piled up, are still usable, and are not on the line. Sale in the heritage store.

　　 A lot of them are for nothing!

　　 Zhang Nan entered the warehouse of a county-level cultural management committee in the mid-1990s: the basement was full of things, jade, porcelain, miscellaneous...everything. At that time, the copper coins piled randomly on the ground were thousands of kilograms, so he weighed 20 kilograms of Song Qian by the catty, which was twice the market price of copper scrap at that time.

　　 It turned out that after a year, I went to the warehouse again after entrusting the relationship, and found out: Except for the bottles and cans dug out from the ground, they are still there, not to mention that the thousands of kilograms of copper are missing, there is nothing in it!

　　 Even a large number of dishes from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China are missing!

　　 can starve mice cleanly!

　　 Ask, they are all sold in the cultural relics store!

"sold?"

　　 Zhang Nan will believe that there is a ghost!

　　 As far as the sales volume of the cultural relic store is, it can't be sold out at all! And they are all in a circle, can you not understand the twists and turns inside?

　　 Either the insiders evacuated them for nothing, or they were bought in large quantities at low prices by related households like themselves.

　　 As for money?

　　Who knows where it is?

　　 And it’s not a foul to do that!

　　 For antiques, it would be a magical age.

　　……

　　 Here, Zhang Nan is still chatting with Nong Bosheng, "By the way, Director Nong, are there any Western antiques left in your warehouse?"

　　 "There are still some, but I haven't been in that small warehouse for more than 10 years. I don't remember exactly what else is there."

　　 What's in the storeroom, the director of the agricultural curator is generally in his mind.

　　The curator of agriculture returned to China from the Soviet Union in the 1950s. Because talents are rare and there are not many in the country, he became the curator of the exhibition hall within a few years, young and promising.

　　Although I suffered a bit during the special period, I still resisted it. This curator has been 30 years!

　　Yongcheng was one of the first trading ports that China was forced to open. Western culture and architecture entered very early, and there were many in the Qing Dynasty!

　　 Breaking the Four Olds and Nahui, certain Western-style buildings in the entire Yongcheng were also wiped out. As for the things inside?

　　 All went into the warehouse!

　　What do you mean by "certain buildings"? Hey, it's hard to say, just understand it.

　　 Is it not a problem to pile up? At that time, it was useless to play games. How can there be those play games in the exhibition hall?

　　 Then sell it!

A set of brand new Western porcelain is 5 yuan, and a Western famille rose soup plate with a diameter of more than 40 cm is 2 yuan. As for spoons, non-set bowls, etc., it varies from a few cents to a few hairs... It's on sale in the unit yard.

　　Pedestrians passing by can buy it.

　　 Of course, some things made of silver are not sold to individuals, so they have to be handed over to the bank, precious metals.

　　 The traces of use were obvious, and the things that no one wanted were finally piled up in the warehouse, and those new and daily-used porcelain daily necessities were basically sold out.

　　 The "new" just means that the traces of the utensils are not obvious, not the meaning of "age".

　　 You need to know that when those things were shipped to China, many of them were actually old-fashioned stuff.

　　 The plates and bowls that were bought back by private individuals are slightly cheaper than the porcelain sold in the supply and marketing agency-they are not bought for home collection, they are really used for serving dishes and eating, otherwise who wants them? !

　　 Zhang Nan met such a family in the 1990s: treat a dinner, a large soup plate containing a stewed chicken is a piece of Western porcelain, very delicate.

　　 I am embarrassed to put down the chopsticks!

After studying for a long time, I asked about the origin of the things, and because I was relatives with the host’s family, I finally said: "Auntie, after eating this time, don’t take out this big bowl for soup. This thing is valuable, and it It's not a big soup plate for serving dishes at all."

"What it is?"

　　 "Baptismal tray."

　　 faint, right?

　　 is so incredible!

　　 The tray used by this family to put fruits to entertain guests is as magical as the big soup plate: it is a pair of Western-style crystal glass tall trays, most likely handmade products of 19th century Venice.

　　 What are they used for?

　　 It is estimated that fruit is also placed, but it is definitely not used to entertain guests, because it is obviously a pair of "tribute plates."

　　 The things that were stored in the warehouse when they were broken down, of course, were not only these relatively special artifacts, but also a lot of ordinary Western-style items that were moved to the exhibition hall in some Western-style hotels and offices.

　　 At that time, these Western toys were either sent to the exhibition hall, or they were thrown away and smashed in private, or just waiting to trouble yourself!

　　 Although Zhang Nan is not particularly interested in these Western porcelains, it would be good if his hilltop villa can be equipped with some old Western antiques, and the interior furnishings are "a combination of earth and foreign and trendy."

Although it can be bought in the United States, it is troublesome to collect everywhere. In addition to the price and transportation issues that are not understood, it is better to go to Yongcheng to buy a batch~www.readwn.com~Nong Bosheng thought about it there and said: "There should be a lot of porcelain and glass products, as well as some oil paintings and old furniture. A large part of those porcelain and glass products have traces of use so they have not been disposed of, and there are some older ones, which were collected not long after the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Yes, because it was piled in the innermost part and it was not moved out.

　　 Those oil paintings were originally to be burned, but when I looked at paintings by famous painters, I didn't let them burn. "

　　 "Painting?"

"Well, I remember that it was delivered in the mid-1950s. There were still a batch of those who broke the Four Olds. Those who had no name and no surname burned a batch of exchanges, and the good ones are still there. For this, I returned it 20 years ago. I fought twice! I was stunned to withstand it!"

　　 "Are those oil paintings sold?"

　　 Zhang Nan asked quickly.

"What you said, I remember. At the end of last year, the bureau also studied this issue, but I was sure that it could not be sold to foreigners, but I was eager to create some foreign exchange. However, these two things combined, these things simply cannot be sold. Go out, how many foreign exchange do the people have? Xiao Zhang, I can sell it to you now!"

"Haha! I'll take a look at that time. I'm now under the name of an overseas Chinese, but even if I buy something, I will definitely not go abroad. If it doesn't work, let my brother-in-law come forward and use US dollars directly. "

　　 "As long as you don't take it abroad, everything is okay. You have made a great contribution to the country with these bamboo slips. Buy some Western oil paintings. I will give you an estimate at that time, and it won't cost you."

　　 Others know what a hairy! It is not the director of the farm that has the final say.

　　Can the Cultural Affairs Bureau earn foreign exchange? It’s too late to be happy, and the payment is still US dollars~www.readwn.com~ Book friends are welcome to visit and read. The latest, fastest and hottest serial works are available at ~www.readwn.com~ mobile phone users, please go to read.
