Chapter 1376 1378 [Antique Collection]
Turning around, when Xiang Nan returned to the factory, everyone in the factory paid him attention.
?Yesterday, he threw Li Chengtao three somersaults in a row. His strength and skill were jaw-dropping.
Because of this, Xiang Nan has become completely famous in the factory.
The so-called beauties love heroes. Many young female workers were staring at him. Some of them used to rely on their seniority and did not take apprentices like Xiang Nan seriously. Now when they see Xiang Nan, their attitude is much more respectful.
Feeling this change, Xiang Nan was naturally happy.
In addition, it is also a beautiful thing that he and Cai Xiaoli have officially established their relationship. It can be said to be a double happiness.
In comparison, Li Chengtao is a little embarrassed.
Before, he always boasted about his prodigy, how good he was at fighting, and how desperate he was for his life, which made a group of people who couldn''t figure out the details treat him with courtesy.
?As a result, he had a big eye yesterday and was beaten by Xiang Nan until he looked like a grandson.
Because of this, when he came to work, everyone pointed and snickered, which made him feel so embarrassed. So within a few days, he chose to be transferred.
?Li Chengtao''s departure is not a big deal to Xiang Nan.
Because he has never regarded Li Chengtao as an opponent, his level is too low.
…
A few days later, it’s New Year’s Day.
76 years, a new year, a new atmosphere.
In January, "People''s Literature" resumed publication.
For Xiang Nan, the opportunity to improve his reputation finally arrived.
He hurriedly mailed the poems he had written during the holidays, such as "The Spring Water in the Border is Clear and Pure", "The Sun is Reddest, the Chairman is Dearest", "We Are the Successors of Communism", "I Love You, China", etc. go out.
??As long as one of these poems is published, it is a great honor for him.
Because "People''s Literature" is the highest-level publication in the country. It means a lot to have your own poems wait on it.
However, there is no royalties for writing manuscripts at this stage.
Because starting from 1966, royalties were abolished as [bourgeois rights] and would not be officially restored until 1977.
But in fact, as long as it is famous, it will definitely be beneficial, so Xiang Nan is not in a hurry.
…
?At the beginning of the New Year, Yili Food Factory worked overtime almost every day and rushed to work day and night in order to meet the demand for bread during the Spring Festival.
Xiang Nandu was forced to stop his second-hand car business because he was too busy.
?But even so, he has made a lot of money in the past six months. I was tinkering with cars and reselling eggs. At the end of the year, I made nearly 3,000 yuan.
?At the time, this was already a huge sum of money.
Xiang Nan did not spend the money randomly. Instead, he took it to the cultural relics store and bought some cultural relics for collection.
In the 1970s, the price of cultural relics was extremely cheap. The official kiln in Kang, Yong and Qian dynasties only cost one or two hundred yuan. Forty years from now, it won’t work even if you don’t have 20 million.
Xiang Nan used the money he earned, except for a small amount that he gave to his family and a small amount that he kept as capital. Most of the money he earned was spent on antiques.
?However, he didn''t dare to leave it at home. Instead, he asked Chunming to leave it at Uncle Guan''s house.
Uncle Guan, whose real name is Guan Shan, is a descendant of the Guarjia family in Zhenghuang Banner, and is in the same family as Guan Zhilin, the great beauty from Xiangjiang. My ancestors were tax collectors of Chongwen Sect. They held a high position and naturally collected a lot of good things. Uncle Guan has such a background, so he is naturally quite good at literature and antiques. He can pick up all kinds of allusions and various unofficial histories at his fingertips. It can be said that he has become an expert.
?However, although the old man is shrewd, he is not evil-minded. As a member of the Zhengyang sect, if you do things that belong to the Zhengyang sect, you must be fair and honest and have a clear conscience.
?So Xiang Nan left the things with him without worrying about being corrupted by him at all.
?However, Chunming was still surprised by the fact that he bought antiques for collection.
“Jianjun, when did you start to like playing this too?” he asked doubtfully.
?Chunming likes collecting cultural relics, which was influenced by Uncle Guan. At the age of ten, he became a disciple of Uncle Guan and learned antique appreciation from him. Over the years, he has become an expert.
??But Xiang Nan has never been interested in antiques, but now he spent thousands of dollars to collect so many porcelains, ancient paintings, and bronze statues from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which naturally made him a little puzzled.
"Hey, I don''t like it. To be honest, I just want to sell for money." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "As the saying goes, gold is hidden in troubled times, and antiques are hidden in prosperous times. In my opinion, the price of antiques will definitely rise in the future. I am now Collect a few and you will be rich in the future.”
"Brother, I have to tell you something about this. Playing with antiques just to make money is the worst kind of thing." Chunming said immediately after hearing this.
?He collects things not for the purpose of selling them for money, but because he simply likes the cultural heritage contained in antiques and antiques. Looking at those antiques, I feel like I am having a conversation with the ancients, which is very wonderful.
"Go~" Xiang Nan rolled his eyes at him, "The bustling world is all for profit, and the bustling world is all for profit. Only when buying and selling antiques is profitable can more and more people pay attention to it, like it, and collect it. It, study it.
If antiques cannot be bought and sold, who will take them seriously? Throw them all away and smash them all. When the time comes, let alone appreciating and playing with these antiques, it will be difficult for you to even find a complete one. "
?Chunming heard what he said and nodded, admitting that what he said made sense.
Since ancient times, there has been antique business. And it is precisely because it is profitable that antiques can be hidden. Otherwise, who would bother collecting a bunch of worthless junk.
“However, whether you sell it in the future or not, you must not sell it to the country.” Han Chunming finally insisted.
“Okay, when the time comes, when you have money, I’ll sell it all to you, right?” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
“That’s okay.” Chunming nodded and smiled.
The funds on hand are not as abundant as those of Xiangnan. Xiang Nan can go shopping for antiques in cultural relic shops, but if he wants to collect them, he can only walk around the streets and collect antiques with deception. In this way, although it saves money, the efficiency is slow.
Furthermore, the cultural relics that can be sold in stores are basically high-quality products and there are no defective ones. Xiang Nan bought all the top-notch goods from the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, many of which made him jealous.
…
About a month has passed, and the Chinese New Year is almost here.
At the end of the year, Xiang Nan gave Cui Weihong two hundred yuan.
??This month he didn''t save a bicycle, and Cui Weihong naturally had no income.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I have to buy something.
“It’s gone if there’s too much. Just keep these two hundred yuan.” Xiang Nan said, “We’ll start working again when we’re free next year.”
“You’d better take the money back. You’ve made me a lot of money in the past six months.” Cui Weihong waved her hand.
Thanks to Xiangnan, she sold a lot of bicycles in the past six months and earned six to seven hundred yuan. She was already very content after helping her third brother, fourth brother, and fifth brother to have a daughter-in-law.
"Take it as long as you want, you are my woman, I don''t care if I give you money." Xiang Nan said forcefully with a straight face.
Cui Weihong continued to do this, no longer shirk, collected the money, then nodded and said, "Jianjun, I know, I can''t marry you. Don''t let me go, don''t worry, as long as you are still willing to have me, I will It''s your person."
"Don''t worry, I won''t let you go." Xiang Nan also said.
