Chapter 33: Going to the antique market

 The next morning I woke up and checked the time. It was not yet 8 o'clock. After washing up, Huang Zhu got on his tricycle and went to have breakfast. Then he went to the demolition area. He planned to pick up some wooden boxes in the morning and then pack them.

Things, by the way, also clean up those usable porcelain bowls, porcelain plates, porcelain cups, glass cups, glass vases and the like. When I return to my hometown during the New Year and have nothing to do, I will sell them out to exchange for some New Year expenses. I will go in the afternoon.

I went to the Dongfeng Antique City, which is the closest to here, to get acquainted with the friends from the antique market I met in my previous life, and to get familiar with each other. The reason why I chose to go to the Antique City in the afternoon is because there are basically no people in the Antique City in the morning.<

/p>

Don't underestimate those things like porcelain bowls and cups. If you go to the supermarket to buy them, in 2021 before Huang Xuan's rebirth, any bowl or cup in a big supermarket will cost ten yuan or dozens of yuan each, and a set will cost several hundred yuan.

There are some worth 1,000 yuan or even thousands of yuan. These things in the homes of well-off residents in the demolition area are no worse than those in supermarkets. When he goes back to celebrate the New Year, he brings some to sell at a cheap price. Even if he sells several hundred pieces for 2 yuan each, the expenses for the New Year are almost the same.

That’s enough. In the countryside in 2004, many people would buy some practical daily necessities during the Chinese New Year.

He has basically cleaned up the houses of residents who have been moved out in the demolition area. After all, they are only being demolished for road construction. Even though the location there is good, and developers have invested in the demolition of several new residential buildings, the demolition area is not

It's very big. I've already picked up almost all the better things that should be picked up. As long as these things can be exchanged for money, Huang Sheng will definitely look for them again and store them.

Arriving at the demolition area, this time Huang Zhu started to sweep through each house indiscriminately, first looking for wooden boxes, and then picking up the porcelain bowls, porcelain plates, porcelain cups, glass cups, vases and other things into the wooden boxes.

Put them away, and then put them on the tricycle. These things are basically available in every house. Soon, boxes after boxes of things were put on the tricycle. Huang Zhu pulled out a total of nine boxes three times in the morning.

Basically, I also picked up nearly 500 porcelain bowls, porcelain plates, cups and vases.

Among them, Huang Zhu also found 5 pieces of the first set of RMB, 2 pieces of warship worth 10,000 yuan, 1 piece of Qiantang Bridge worth 1,000 yuan, and 2 pieces of workers and peasants worth 50 yuan in a wooden box.

I collected these banknotes and found a separate place to put them away.

The first set of RMB mentioned here was issued on December 1, 1948 and ceased circulation on May 10, 1955. The RMB used during this period was the first set of RMB. The first set of RMB had 12 denominations and 62 types.

There are 2 types of one-yuan coupons, 4 types of five-yuan coupons, 4 kinds of ten-yuan coupons, 7 kinds of twenty-yuan coupons, 7 kinds of fifty-yuan coupons, 10 kinds of 100-yuan coupons, 5 kinds of 200-yuan coupons, 6 kinds of 500-yuan coupons, and 1,000 yuan.

There are 6 types of coupons, 5 types of 5,000 yuan coupons, 4 types of 10,000 yuan coupons, and 2 types of 50,000 yuan coupons. The minimum denomination is 1 yuan, and the maximum denomination is 50,000 yuan.

The first set of RMB is especially valuable, especially the twelve treasures: the "Buffalo Picture" of 5 yuan, the "Water Truck and Mine Cart" of 50 yuan, the "Zhande City" of 500 yuan, and the "Herding Horse" of 1000 yuan.

Picture", "Sailboat Picture", "Sheep Picture", "Mongolian Yurt", "Weihe Bridge" worth 5,000 yuan; "Camel Team", "Herding Horse Picture" worth 10,000 yuan, "Xinhua Gate" worth 50,000 yuan,

"Harvester". Among them, the "Herding Horse Picture" worth 10,000 yuan, the "Mongolian Yurt" worth 5,000 yuan, the "Zhande City" worth 500 yuan and the "Camel Team" worth 10,000 yuan are among the twelve treasures.

"Four Heavenly Kings".

Huang Zhu found these banknotes in the newspaper compartment inside the box, which was an unexpected surprise.

The morning passed quickly as Huang Zhu searched for boxes and picked up porcelain bowls, plates, cups and other daily necessities.

After having lunch, Huang Zhu returned to the rental house and rested for a while. Then he took out two Yuan Datou and twenty copper coins, rode a tricycle and went to Dongfeng Antique City. On the way to the Antique City, he also bought a pack

6 yuan blue hard box Kingdee cigarettes.

Dongfeng Antique City is one of the three major antique cities in XY. It is located on Dongfeng Road in District F, only a few hundred meters away from Jiefang Road and Labor Street, and not far from Huang Chuzhu’s rental house. The other two antique cities are both in District X.

, one is on the Pedestrian Street of North Street of the Ancient City, and the other is within the ancient city wall of South Street.

Huang Zhu came to the antique city and based on his memories from his previous life, he first found an antique store that he was familiar with and whose owner had better quality goods. The name of this antique store was "Ancient Art Garden". The owner's surname was Ding and he was older than Huang Zhu.

He is almost 20 years old and is a local. In his previous life, Huang Zhu often put some things on consignment here, and he often bought Huang Zhu’s things. When Huang Zhu entered, Boss Ding was cleaning some things on the glass counter at the door and collecting them.

When he saw someone coming in to look at the square-hole coins, he didn’t say anything and just kept cleaning the coins.

Huang Zhu first took a look inside the store. The store was a single room with an area of ​​more than 20 square meters, which was similar in area to the single storage room Huang Zhu bought. There were shelves on both walls of the store, and there were shelves on the shelves.

There are different types of collections, including porcelain, bronze, lacquered wood, pottery, stoneware, calligraphy and painting, etc. At the end of the store there is a two-story single bed used by students, which should be used by him during his odd hours of rest. After reading

Looking at the things on the wall, Huang Zhu turned his attention to the things inside his glass counter, including various coins, cultural toys, jade pendants, etc.

At this time, Boss Ding did not know Huang Zhu. After looking at him for a while, he handed Boss Ding a cigarette and asked:

"What's your last name, boss?"

"My surname is Ding, what's your surname?" Boss Ding put down the square-hole money he was cleaning and asked Huang Zhu again.

"My surname is Huang, will Boss Ding accept this?" After saying this, Huang Xiu took out six copper coins and placed them on the table in front of him.

Boss Ding picked up the copper coins from the glass table and looked at them carefully for a while. He saw that they were all pure copper coins, and then said:

"Come on, these copper coins don't seem to be handed down from ancient times. Although there is a little rust on the surface, they are in good condition and they don't seem to have been circulated much. You should have more than these."

"I only have these few coins. Do you think how much a copper coin with this appearance is worth? If the price is good, I can collect some from others and sell it to you." Huang Zhu didn't tell him the truth, meaning that if the price was good, he said.

, he can sell him more points.

"The face value of these Qing Dynasty copper coins should be different from the version, right?" Boss Ding asked again.

"It's different, just tell me the actual price and you can accept it." Huang Zhu said again.

"This copper coin of yours is in very good condition. I will give you the highest price, which is 15 yuan each. I will accept these coins first. If you can collect some more of this type from others, I can also offer them."

At this price, other stores will not charge such a high price," said Boss Ding.

"I'll sell these six to you first!" Huang Zhu said to Boss Ding.

"Okay, I've received it again. I can ask for it if you bring it over." After saying that, he picked up six copper coins and paid Huang Zhu 90 yuan.

Huang Zhu didn't think about the version and face value of the copper coins. It was too troublesome. He just shot them one by one and counted them. If people make money, let others earn it. As long as the price given by others is acceptable, Huang Zhu doesn't expect to make a fortune from antiques.

To make a fortune, you still need to have an industry and a stable income. Antiques only provide short-term income and are not stable. Those who collect antiques for a long time have no other income, and there are only a few who have really made a fortune.

Putting 90 yuan in his wallet, Huang Zhu took out another Yuan Datou and showed it to Boss Ding, and asked him how much Yuan Datou would cost. Boss Ding looked at Yuan Datou and said that the current market price is about 100 to 150 yuan.

Huang Zhu asked him how much it cost. He looked at it and said that this was a special triangular round plate, which could be purchased for 200 yuan. Huang Zhu said he would wait for a while and did not sell him the silver dollar.<

/p>

When leaving, Huang Su asked again who the current president of the collection association was, and Boss Ding also told him. He also pointed Huang Su in the direction of the president's shop. Huang Su also told him that he wanted to open one later.

Regarding the collection certificate, if the president asks him, can he say that it was introduced by you (Boss Ding)? Boss Ding said that it can be said that he introduced it. Applying for a collection certificate and introducing it will not affect anything.

Next, Huang Zhu went to several other antique shops to ask about the purchase price of those copper coins. They all chose special editions and the best-looking copper coins. For ordinary editions, they only offered 3 yuan each.

They could pay ranging from 20 yuan to 50 yuan. After the final calculation, the average price was only about 10 yuan. Huang Zhu took out the triangle and round Yuan Datou and showed them to them. The price was also a little lower than what Boss Ding had offered.

After inquiring about the approximate prices of these silver and copper coins, Huang Zhu went to find President Zhang of the Antique City Collection Association. Huang Zhu had already found out from Boss Ding that the president's surname was Zhang, and he should be the Zhang he knew in his previous life.

President.

Sure enough, when Huang Zhu arrived at his shop, the person he saw was someone he knew, but he was much younger. President Zhang's shop was a relatively large area, with two single rooms connected together. He was a very good man.

A knowledgeable person who likes to collect ancient books, calligraphy, calligraphy and paintings and other cultural-related things. He is easy-going and a good person. Huang Zhu told President Zhang that he wanted to apply for a collection certificate, which was introduced by Boss Ding.

.

President Zhang told Huang Zhu that to apply for a certificate, he needed a 2-centimeter photo and a copy of his ID card. In addition, he had to pay a membership fee of 100 yuan. Huang Zhu took a few photos at a nearby photo studio that could be picked up in time.

I took the photo and made a copy of my ID card, then returned to the Antique City and handed it to President Zhang, and gave him 100 yuan as a membership fee. President Zhang asked Huang Zhu to leave his phone number and said that he would wait a few days for the certificate to be issued.

Once that's done, call him and tell him to get the collection certificate. Now you can consider applying for the collection certificate.

When Huang Zhu was shopping in the antique city, he also met some friends he knew in his previous life who had not opened a store. They had their own jobs, and many of them were not short of money. They just liked to collect things they liked, and they often visited the antique city to play and buy things.

It’s really just for collecting. When Huang Zhu met these acquaintances, he naturally said hello to them briefly and became familiar with them. (Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the birthday of the God of Wealth. It is the day to welcome the God of Wealth in the south. I wish everyone
