Lin Yao came to Yanjing this time, and there were three main things to do.

The first thing is to choose a distributor with identity and let him become the general agent of the North to help him ship.

The second thing is that the atmosphere of reform and opening up is getting stronger and stronger, everyone’s living standards are improving, and the money in their pockets is also increasing.

Lin Yao felt that he could use his Hong Kong business identity to invest in his hometown.

He can make investments that others dare not do, whether it is an electrical appliance store or a department store, or even simply selling popular clothing from Hong Kong Island, he can make a lot of money in his hometown.

At this stage, my hometown is still a state-owned cooperative. Not to mention supermarkets and super malls, there is no concept of a store.

If you can build a few department stores in Yanjing, Shen Zhen, Tianjing, Shangjing, Yangcheng and Hangzhou, you will not make money faster than a money printing machine.

The third thing is that the house in Yanjing is so cheap now that he is planning to buy several courtyard houses.

He is not greedy either. He has a medium-sized courtyard house with a better location, so he can just build two or three buildings.

In the 1990s, Yanjing began to undergo a large-scale renovation. If the price is appropriate, one or two buildings will be sold. If it is not appropriate, it will be kept by itself and wait for later generations to rent.

In addition, taking advantage of the cheaper price to buy some antiques. By around 2010, the courtyard and antiques alone can be worth 20 to 30 billion.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have money or not. When you say you have a courtyard house in Yanjing, you will be proud of your face if you say it.

"This place is called Wangfujing, which is the most prosperous place in Yanjing. It was mostly used to build a mansion for princes in the Ming and Qing dynasties, so the name Wangfujing was founded.

There is an alley on the north street of Wangfujing. There are more than 20 antique shops in the alley. You may not believe it. These antique shops are officially operated and sold to foreigners, specifically for making foreign exchange.

When buying things here, you can use any money, but you can't use Tang coins, and they are absolutely fidelity.

Of course, you don’t have to think about the first-class national treasures, and those things will not be sold.

What we sell here are two or three treasures, such as calligraphy and paintings from the Song Dynasty, vases from the Ming Dynasty, and porcelain from the Qing Dynasty.

The best ones are just quasi-national treasures, used for store-town treasures.

I heard that the calligraphy and painting shop has a picture of Mr. Zhang Daqian’s green pine, priced at 880,000 Hong Kong dollars and cannot be taken out of the country. I am going to buy it."

While walking towards Wangfujing, Lin Yao said his plans.

Zhang Daqian's paintings are absolutely not expensive for 880,000 Hong Kong dollars. If they are placed in an auction house on Hong Kong Island, two million is not uncommon.

The reason why it has never been bought is because the painting is not allowed to be exported to China. You can buy it, but you can only place it in China to appreciate it. This makes many foreign or Hong Kong and Taiwan businessmen find it difficult to accept.

Lin Yao did not have such concerns. He planned to buy a courtyard house in Yanjing, and the painting would be hung at his house by then.

Twenty or thirty years later, this painting can be at least 300 times more, and it is not something you can buy just by wanting to buy.

Give it to an official who likes calligraphy and paintings, and he dares to give you tens of billions of land.

If you simply give money, some officials who like elegance don’t accept it.

"arrive!"

When he arrived at Antique Street, Lin Yao pointed to the shops on both sides and reminded him: "I saw that there was no sign outside, and what was hanging on the sign was, and what was inside was running.

The one hanging plate contains antiques of plates.

The one hanging jars contains antiques of jars.

There are also some people who are squatting in the corner of the wall. They may also have good things on their hands. Of course, they are more fakes. If you don’t have this vision, it’s better not to deal with them. If you want to find a bargain, don’t even think about it.”

Unlike the plot in the story, picking up bargains in reality rarely happens, and it is also a bargain between antique vendors and antique vendors. It is really not your turn for outsiders.

If you have this intention, you will be waiting to be cheated.

To put it bluntly, unless you are a real master, an old expert who has been playing antiques for decades.

Otherwise, it would be strange if your little knowledge could be comparable to these vendors.

Lin Yao did not have the intention to find a bargain, nor did he have the vision.

He came to the official antique street, instead of going to the black market at Liulichang, for the official production and quality assurance label.

It doesn't matter if it's a little more expensive, you must never buy fakes.

"Sir, what are you looking at?"

After entering a shop, the staff welcomed them warmly.

Lin Yao looked inside and saw that there were more than a dozen customers standing in the two or three hundred square meters shop, including African big old man.

"Sir, this is a new jar. Do you like it?"

Under the leadership of the clerk, Lin Yao was taken to a red jar.

The jar is not big, only thirty centimeters tall, and it is blood-red all over, and looks very beautiful.

"What kind of jar is this?"

Lin Yao doesn't understand antiques, he just thinks they look pretty.

Seeing Lin Yao a little moved, the clerk introduced with a smile: "This is Junzhou chicken blood porcelain, which is produced in Yu County, Nanhe. However, this is not from the Song kiln, but from the Ming kiln imitation Song kiln. Of course, it is also produced by the official kiln and its value is still very high.

Look at the workmanship, the color is no worse than that of the Song kiln. It is a fine product in the Ming Dynasty imitation of the Song Dynasty, and it also has the seal of the official kiln below."

"The best products from Ming Dynasty imitation Song Dynasty sound good!"

Lin Yao looked at the chicken blood porcelain and asked, "How much does it cost if I pay the bill in Hong Kong dollars?"

When he heard it was Hong Kong dollars, the clerk calculated it with his calculations and said after a moment: "Ninety-eight thousand Hong Kong dollars."

"Ninety-eight!"

Lin Yao said to the sword behind him with satisfaction: "It's quite cheap."

Even if it is the chicken blood porcelain imitated by the Ming Dynasty, it will not be cheaper if it is turned down in the future. There must be millions.

And he likes this jar very much, it looks very festive. If he can make a pair, it will definitely look good in the living room.

“Is there only one here?”

Lin Yao looked at the chicken blood porcelain and said eagerly: "If I can get a pair, I will ask for it. No matter how expensive the price is, it will be fine. Get a good result in pairs."

The clerk did not dare to say anything, so hesitated and said, "I can help you ask about this. If it is convenient, please leave a phone number and contact you after finding me."

"Yes, I live in Room 1606, Yanjing Hotel and will not leave Yanjing within half a month."

Lin Yao said as he took out his wallet and pulled out ten Hong Kong dollars worth of 1,000 yuan from it, and told him: "This 10,000 Hong Kong dollars is a deposit. Don't put this jar out and sell it. I'll take it away when you make a pair."

"I'll go and discuss it with the manager."

The clerk did not dare to make decisions without authorization, so he found someone who was suspected of the manager and asked for instructions.

The manager looked at Lin Yao and the others, nodded from time to time to express his affirmation. The clerk who received the order quickly returned and said, "Our manager agreed. I will write you a note. If you haven't found another jar in seven days, you can take the deposit at any time."

"Okay, you guys can do it."

Lin Yao nodded in agreement, then looked at Xu Lingjun: "Old Xu, do you have any likes? If so, buy them together."

After saying that, he looked at the teapot and Daozi again: "You can also take a look, there are all good things here."

"Brother Yao, I'm not polite to you."

The teapot lay on the counter, pointed to a set of tea sets and asked, "How much does this cost?"

"This set of tea set is blue and white porcelain, which comes from the official kiln during the Daoguang period, and is two hundred years old."

The clerk first praised the tea set, and then said, "HKD 63,000, it is definitely worth this price."

Teapot looked at Lin Yao with a longing look on his face, and obviously liked this set of tea utensils.

"Pack it up."

While instructing the clerk to wrap it up, Lin Yao teased at the teapot: "You call a teapot, buy antiques and tea sets. It seems that your nickname is very right."

"hey-hey..."

The teapot scratched his head and said happily: "I took it back as a family heirloom. I remember when I was a child, my family had such a set of tea sets from the Republic of China. Later, I don't know why it disappeared, which made me cry for a long time."

Lin Yao nodded, then asked Xiang Daozai: "What about you, see if you like it?"

"I think this great man looks good, and my dad must like it very much."

Daozi didn't look at the antiques, she saw a set of busts of a great man in white porcelain.

"You have such a good vision. This great man seems to be the best among the finest products, and the price is not expensive, only 800 yuan."

With the recommendation of the clerk, Lin Yao spent more than 400,000 yuan, and bought seven or eight jars alone.

Even Xu Lingjun was led by him and bought two kimchi jars in the store, saying that he wanted to take them back to his wife.

After one day, Lin Yao spent more than 2.7 million yuan to buy a car and a half of various antiques.

When I went back, I couldn't finish a van and finally had to hire a 212.

Lin Yao estimated that if he turned down the future generations, these antiques would definitely not be able to stop them without 700 to 800 million.

Not to mention anything else, Zhang Daqian’s Qingsong Picture alone can’t get down without 200 million or 300 million.

The return on investment is at least a few hundred times.

It looks good even if it is placed.
