Chapter 235
There are more than twenty ancient books, mostly in the Ming and Qing dynasties, most of which are fragmentary.
There is only one volume of the Song edition book, which is the Northern Song Dynasty’s “Rhymes of the Ministry of Rites”.
Lin Xiao called the staff, and after looking at it, he was sure that it was true.
This Song edition book is also one of the key points of this auction, and there are many interested people.
Lin Xiao was also interested.
He looked back at the porcelain, and then at the Song Edition book, and sighed secretly.
There are too many good things.
He only has more than 90 million, and he goes all out to buy two or three pieces at most, and he can only buy at the price.
He went around to the calligraphy and painting area, there are not many precious calligraphy and paintings, nine out of nine are from the Qing Dynasty, the starting price is not very high, but the authenticity rate is quite high.
Lin Xiaoyi left Xingshan Shan Xingshan, and the saddest thing for a collector is that he finally found something he liked, and it turned out to be fake.
As for how much money, it is basically not in their consideration.
Those who can afford to collect, will be very conscious of benchmarking what they can afford.
If you can’t afford it, you won’t pay too much attention.
It is impossible to ruin your family for a collection.
Not to mention that it is not necessarily true.
Play collecting, do what you can.
For Lin Xiao, the saddest thing is that he sees good things, but has no money to buy them.
Because he is not a simple collection, he is to fill the museum’s collection.
To open a museum by one’s own efforts, the funds required can be calculated in hundreds of millions.
In fact, now Lin Xiao has picked up hundreds of leaked things, almost all of them are top-notch.
Most of them are bought at very low prices, but this so-called extremely low, in addition to buying at a really low price in the antique street, a large part of the purchase price of things is compared to the market price of the item.
For example, “Lanting Preface”, the market price is six or seven billion, and he bought it for 1 billion, which is very low.
But in today’s society, how many people can come up with 1 billion?
Collecting is very expensive.
Opening a museum burns more money.
Lin Xiao was in a depressed mood, and suddenly felt that the auction was really not “one seventy-three” friendly.
However, there are only a limited number of things that can be picked up in the antique street, and if you want to encounter good things, auctions are an important channel that cannot be ignored.
“It’s really distressing to have no money.”
Lin Xiao walked on the road talking to himself, if this was heard by people he knew, he would not have to scold a word of “pretending”.
But this is indeed the most painful thing for Lin Xiao at this stage.
With nearly 100 million in his hand, he can only buy two or three things.
He suddenly thought of one thing, this is Hong Kong Island, the financial center.
Bitcoin, maybe it can be used here?
He had to ask, he took out his mobile phone, found the Bonhams staff who had contacted him in the first place, and called.
“Toot~”
The phone rang twice and was connected.
The other party obviously remarked Lin Xiao’s mobile phone number: “Hello, Mr. Lin, is there any need?” ”
Lin Xiao still doesn’t know what the other party’s surname is, which doesn’t matter.
He asked directly: “Do your auction houses support bitcoin settlement?” ”
“Yes.”
“Okay, I see.” Lin Xiao asked again: “When will the auction start?” ”
“The day after tomorrow.”
“Okay, thanks.”
The day after tomorrow, the time is quite fast.
He inquired about today’s bitcoin market and was pleasantly surprised to find that the original value of 130 million bitcoin has now risen to 160 million.
Including the cash in hand, it is 250 million.
“Maybe I can buy a dozen.”
“You have to keep some money in hand, Hollywood has not yet gone, and you have to spend money in case you come across something good.”
Lin Xiao calculated in his heart that this money had to save some money.
He really can’t buy anything he looks at, otherwise don’t say 250 million, even 2.5 billion is not enough for him to spend.
At this time, his mobile phone rang, Tu Weimin called.
Tu Weimin has nothing to do if he doesn’t look for him, and there must be something to find him.
“Director Tu, what’s going on?”
“Good thing!” Tu Weimin’s tone was quite excited: “Yesterday, the leading group of the municipal party committee called me to go to a meeting, mainly to discuss the matter of your private museum. ”
What is there to discuss in the museum, the policies that should be given are given, the bus lines that should be set are also set, and the old neighborhoods nearby are also moving, and that area will soon become a new commercial area.
The Publicity Department and the Tourism Bureau have done similar plans for the promotion of the “Orchid Pavilion Preface”, and it is estimated that the publicity will be carried out during this period.
Binding the “Orchid Pavilion Preface” to Jinling is Jinling’s next focus.
Jinling is actually a very painful city, after so many years, it has not developed a high value-added industry.
The top three in the country in science, education, culture, and health, which has always been clamoring for itself, is actually a flower shelf, which cannot withstand scrutiny at all, and there is not even a single local high-tech industry and enterprise.
People TSMC took the initiative to come to the door to ask for a landing in Jinling, but the result was only a production line, and the core research and development did not come at all.
New energy fire, the introduction of four car companies, as a result, one did not live, cheated the subsidy and ran away.
I have not been able to look at Luzhou, but now I am looking at it, and people in Luzhou are better at high-tech than Jinling.
It is impossible to say that they are all secret-related things, and it is not convenient to count, but the dragon country has so many big countries and heavy weapons, how many of them were made by Jinling?
If there is anything in Jinling, it is the system, otherwise it would not be called the city of the system.
Jinling himself also understands this truth, no, for so many years, he has changed several people, and tried his best to develop new industries to provide taxes, but it has been ineffective.
Tourism is one of the few ways in Jinling that can achieve curve overtaking.
The ancient capital of the six dynasties and the capital of the ten dynasties are stunned to play themselves like this.
In a few years, I am afraid that the top ten in the country will not see Jinling.
This time, it is also the leadership team that can’t help, and it feels a little desperate.
Otherwise, it would not have been taken seriously to this extent.
Yesterday, a group of leaders held a meeting, which probably meant that Lin Xiao’s private museum was built too slowly.
Even if you rush day and night, you will get the end of the year.
Coupled with the complete supporting facilities nearby, it will take at least a year or two.
What they meant was to let Lin Xiao open the museum first.
How to open?
Simple, a piece of exhibition hall from the Jinling Museum came out to Lin Xiao as Lin Xiao’s private museum.
Put all of Lin Xiao’s cultural relics in this venue, make a separate museum, and sell tickets separately.
It just so happens that the Jinling Museum also has venues to provide, since this is the case, then do not wait, open early, publicize early.
Publicity at full speed.
After Lin Xiao listened, he was a little stunned.
He knew that Jinling’s side was very supportive of him, but he really didn’t expect that the support was so strong.
This is not the same as telling yourself that you only need to provide the artifacts, and the rest will be left to them, and all you need to do is lie down and collect the money.
This matter was so ridiculous that Lin Xiao felt unreal.
“Director Tu, are you saying these things?”
“Then there can be a fake!” Tu Weimin said: “The problem now is that the cultural relics you rent to other museums must be taken back in advance.” ”
“Don’t worry about Jinling Museum, we will break the lease and transfer directly to the new museum when the time comes.”
“What is rented to other museums, can you see if it is you or my side?”
“Liquidated damages…”
“Don’t worry about liquidated damages, Jinling will come out on your behalf.”
“That’s fine.” Lin Xiao said, “Come forward.” ”
He doesn’t like to deal with these things, and Tu Weimin is better off coming forward.
It was not he who wanted to break the lease, it was the Jinling government.
Tu Weimin said, “Okay, then I know.” ”
Lin Xiao asked: “When will the museum open?” ”
“One month at the latest.”
“Ticket prices are set for everything?”
“The plan has already been made, it will be sent to you when the time comes, there is no problem on your side, we will continue to the next step.”
“Okay.”
Lin Xiao’s mood suddenly improved.
Museum opened,.
In the early stage, the Jinling government will provide free admission for tourists, which is not exempt, but paid in advance.
How many tourists came, how much ticket money they paid, directly to Lin Xiao.
The Jinling Museum had nearly four million visitors last year, and the ticket cost 50 yuan, which is a little more expensive with a guided tour.
Ticket revenue alone is not high, less than 200 million a year.
The main source of income is cultural and creative peripherals, and this part of the income is the majority.
He roughly calculated for Lin Xiao that Lin Xiao’s private museum can withstand about 5,000 tourists in a single day.
This is already a very terrifying number, after all, he only has one venue, and tourists do not come and leave, people want to visit.
According to the upper limit, the ticket price is about seven or eight million per month, and about ninety million a year.
Lin Xiao really can’t see the ticket revenue, but once the cultural and creative peripherals are up, the income will increase several times.
These have to be done by professional personnel, and Lin Xiao doesn’t have to worry too much.
The Jinling government itself will do it.
Private museums can withstand a limited number of visitors in a single day, but they can attract several times or dozens of times more than five thousand.
In this way, you have a stable source of income.
It may not be much upfront, but there will be more and more later, and it will be very stable.
Lin Xiao was in a good mood.
After lunch, Lin Xiao opened the map, searched Hollywood Road, and found that it was less than four kilometers away from where he was.
Lin Xiao turned around, determined the approximate location, and set off.
About half an hour later, he arrived at Hollywood Road, which is not strictly an antique street, but an antique street.
There are no stalls, only storefronts, and more than a hundred antique shops are the main composition of this street.
There is a Man and Moon Temple at the junction of Hollywood Road and Staircase Street, and there are many such buildings on Hong Kong Island, which is what Lin Xiao feels is very different from other modern cities.
Many of the buildings and customs of the last century or even earlier have been preserved here.
On the way here, he even saw two martial arts halls, which were perfectly integrated with the surrounding modern commercial buildings.
And these are not decorations, there are really people who practice martial arts.
Walking into Hollywood Road Antique Street, there are many tourists from home and abroad.
Many shops take things to the open spaces outside the door, and many tourists are attracted to stay.
Ma Weidu said that there have been many national treasure-level cultural relics here, but Lin Xiao’s first feeling when he came here was that this was not like an antique street, but more like a tourist attraction.
In such a place, can you pick up leaks?
He expressed some skepticism.
Not far from an antique store, a woman with long hair with big waves, nearly one meter seven, slim, and the smell of peaches on her body, sitting on a rattan chair in the store, stuck with dark toad glasses, wearing in-ear headphones 0……..
Her legs were folded together, and on her white, small feet dangled a sandal, dangling, but not falling off.
The mobile phone on the round table on the side vibrated non-stop, she grabbed it, put it in front of the sunglasses and looked at it for a while, and connected it.
“Mom, what for?”
“You went to Hong Kong Island?”
“Uh-huh.”
“When will you be back?” (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )
“Why are you going back?”
“Your father’s comrades-in-arms and sons will come in a few days, you come over, have a meal, and see you.”
“Don’t.”
“What don’t, dead girl, hurry back!”
“Don’t go back!” The woman hung up the phone, and after a while, the phone rang again, and she didn’t answer it directly.
After about a few minutes of silence, the phone rang again, and the woman picked it up and saw the incoming call.
“Auntie, are you on Hong Kong Island?”
“Hmm.”
“Grandma asked you to come back…”
“Not back.”
“Oh, I know, I asked anyway, you didn’t come back yourself.”
Hanging up the phone, the woman sat up from the rattan chair, took off her sunglasses, and sighed a little irritably.
Annoyed to death, urging marriage all day.
It’s not that I can’t get by alone, as for such a urging.
Even if I don’t get married for the rest of my life, I won’t die of hunger.”
The woman put the phone on the round table, picked up the teacup, and walked towards the store.
Walking to the door of the store, she saw a somewhat familiar figure.
“Lin Xiao?”
The woman blinked, a little unsure, because there was only a side face.
When the other party turned around, she was sure that it was really Lin Xiao.
Why is he here?
Lin Xiao visited several shops and overturned the perception when he first came here.
It’s a tourist attraction, after all, it’s so famous.
But this is indeed a holy place for leaks, but unlike ordinary antique streets, the price of antiques here is quite high.
He visited three shops, and saw two porcelain from the official kilns of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but the price was also quite high.
The antique street here takes the boutique route.
There is an opportunity to pick up leaks, but the cost is a bit high.
Like the two official kiln porcelains just now, the market price is about one million, but the selling price is also hundreds of thousands.
Before today, Lin Xiao must have won it, and there must be some earnings.
Now Lin Xiao is not short of money for the time being, and the combined profit of the two official kiln porcelain is not one million, and this money will not solve any problems.
No wonder this place can produce so many national treasure-level cultural relics, just this quality, only enough professional vision, and patience, the chance of picking up leaks is still very large.
The premise is, you have to come and go around every three or five days.
He turned to the door of the woman’s shop and suddenly stopped.
The woman in front of me is so familiar.
Oh, remembered.
Isn’t this Zhuoyi’s aunt.
What’s it called?
Willow rose?
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Liu Qiangwei broke the atmosphere and said, “Lin Xiao? ”
“Hello.” Lin Xiao smiled and said, “Miss Liu.” ”
He looked at it quickly, and asked in an uncertain tone, “This is your shop?” ”
Liu Qiangwei held a teacup in her hand, stepped on slippers, and had a mobile phone on the coffee table inside.
How does it look like tourists who come to shop.
“Hmm.” Liu Rose said, “Do you want to come in and take a look?” ”
Lin Xiao snorted and walked into the store with her.
The store is about 0.3 square meters, three display cases, calligraphy and paintings on the wall, there are indeed a lot of good things, but most of them are not high.
Listening to Ma Weidu, Zhuo Yi took over a museum overseas by the family, and good things must be given priority to the museum.
They can’t collect it themselves, how can they take it out.
What is sold is ordinary antiques.
However, the other party owned a shop in the antique street on Hong Kong Island, which surprised Lin Xiao.
Liu Qiangwei opened the topic and said, “Is Mr. Lam coming to Hong Kong Island for tourism this time?” ”
“Attend the auction.”
“Bonhams’s?”
“Hmm.”
Liu Qiangwei said, “I remember that the auction didn’t seem to have anything good. ”
“Didn’t you?” Lin Xiao said, “I see that there are a lot of porcelain, and they are all national treasures.” ”
Liu Rose was a little puzzled, are we talking about the same auction preview?
She asked: “Is it the one that started filming the day after tomorrow?” ”
“Yes.”
“You went to the preview?”
“Just from the preview.”
“…… Oh. Liu Rose stopped talking, she didn’t know what Lin Xiao thought, obviously there are so many fakes, how can she say that there are national treasure-level cultural relics?
Lin Xiao said, “Is Miss Liu often on Hong Kong Island?” ”
Liu Rose shook her head: “Come and rest occasionally.” ”
Rest……
Okay, what else can I say.
People are buying and selling for a living, and you are on vacation.
Lin Xiao asked again: “Is this store not usually open?” ”
“Open too.” Liu Qiangwei said, “I recruited a few people to come and take care of it.” ”
Lin Xiao asked, “Has Miss Liu been to the ghost market on Hong Kong Island?” ”
Liu Qiangwei said, “Accompanying the girl… It’s Zhuoyi, I have accompanied her once or twice. ”
Lin Xiao was quite surprised, he couldn’t see that Zhuo Yi was still a senior person.
Speaking of which, he is really quite senior, and his vision is also good.
The two chatted for a while, and Lin Xiao left and continued shopping.
Liu Rose also continued to lie down, rocking the rocking chair, squinting and continuing to take a nap.
