Volume 1 Chapter 0086 Harvesting Greed
After Xu Qian half-made her feelings clear, she became a little bolder and a little more annoying.
The number of times I eat out with Nan Yi is also increasing.
I took Fan Hongdou to Rockefeller Hospital again, and got the test results from Lang Huichun that the soil was rich in molybdenum and zinc, and also got advice on how to supplement these two elements;
Nan Yi would go to the courtyard every now and then and take Fan Hongdou out alone to eat some meat.
It was both to nourish her body and to bring the two closer together.
A single man and a single woman living under the same roof, they were passionately attracted to each other. Nan Yi could see that there was already some affection between Zuo Can and Xu Xiaofang.
Nan Yi only hopes that lovers can finally get married, which will be good for both them and Nan Yi.
Nan Yi worked hard and, while he is still young and has a strong ability to learn knowledge, he has included German and Korean in his language learning plan.
He plans to spend fifteen years learning all the languages in the world that have more than half a million speakers. Some need to be mastered, while others can be mastered.
One day, Mensaner came to the school.
"Master Nan, I've already got Luo Yuejin here, how's your side?"
"I've been busy studying recently and haven't paid attention to Zhou Maode's affairs. So, it's not a good idea for me to go out and keep an eye on him. You should find someone with a sharp mind to keep an eye on him. The old man in our dormitory likes to smoke Peony."
"Hehe, I understand." Men Saner smiled and said, "Then I'll make arrangements and try to deal with Zhou Maode as soon as possible."
"Well, you have to be careful when doing things. Think over each step several times and don't make any mistakes. Also, clear yourself."
"clear."
Men Saner received the instructions and left quickly.
Nan Yi returned to his seat in the classroom and glanced at the back of Zhou Maode's head.
It's a good deal for this kid. If there weren't so many things beyond his control, Nan Yi would have continued to hold it in until the day when Zhou Maode got the news that he was assigned to a good unit and was full of confidence.
Only Nan Yi would give Zhou Maode a gentle push and push him into the abyss.
Time passed quickly and it was the end of April . Nan Yi, holding pastries in his hand, knocked on the door of a house on Wukang Road in Huhai.
"Comrade Nan, why is it you?"
Sun Muxi opened the door and exclaimed when she saw Nan Yi.
"Ah, Aunt Sun, it turns out that the old Mr. Ke I'm looking for is Uncle Ke." Nan Yi also exclaimed in disbelief, "My grandmother Fang Mengyin told me that there is an old Mr. Ke Jianzhen living here who is very proficient in antiques. I came to meet him.
I came here once before and left a note on the window. Did you see it? "
"I saw it, I saw it. I just came back and there are too many trivial things to do. Lao Ke was thinking of writing back to you. He also said that the Nan Yi on the note might be you. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."
Sun Muxi clapped her hands as she spoke, "Oh, I was just busy talking. Come on, come in."
After welcoming Nan Yi into the living room, Sun Muxi went to call Ke Jianzhen.
Nan Yi sat on the sofa and looked around the living room. Unlike what he saw through the window last time, the living room now became more lively and had a lot more decorations.
It is estimated that some of the things that were originally confiscated have been returned.
"Comrade Nan, it really is you. It's really no coincidence." After a while, Ke Jianzhen walked from the inner room to the living room and said to Nan Yi kindly: "When I saw the note, I wanted to write you a letter right away, but unfortunately..."
"It's okay, Uncle Ke, I'm here again. Although I don't dare to compare myself to Liu Xuande, in my mind, you are more important than Zhuge Liang. The three visits to the thatched cottage are also a matter of course."
"Hahaha, you are so kind, so kind. I want to ask you seriously, why do you buy antiques?"
Nan Yi straightened his face and said seriously, "Uncle Ke, I won't hide it from you. I buy antiques just to stockpile them and sell them when the price goes up in the future. I don't know much about antiques, and I don't like them."
Ke Jianzhen nodded, "Very honest, didn't give me a nice-sounding fake answer. Then let me ask you again, will you sell it overseas?"
"No." Nan Yi said firmly: "Although antiques are dead things in my eyes, I will sell them to anyone, but too many Chinese people cannot accept the outflow of national treasures, so I don't want to risk the world's disapproval. I will sell them in China, only to Chinese people."
"Okay, I'll help you. But I have a condition."
"Uncle Ke, you say."
"If there is something I like, I will collect it myself and donate it to the country after I die. Of course, I will buy it with my own money, and the money will be deducted from my share."
"No problem, I agree. I'm sure Uncle Ke won't be interested in ordinary things. If you want to keep them, then keep them. It would be an insult to them if they fell into my hands."
"Then tell me, what should I do?" Ke Jianzhen asked.
“In a few days, someone will send you money. You can buy it at the ghost market in Shanghai first. It doesn’t matter if it’s a fine product or not. As long as it has a deep historical background and there are not many left in the world, you can buy it.
A few months later, a sum of foreign exchange will be given to you, and you will go to the state-owned cultural relics store to sweep the warehouse.
However, Uncle Ke, you have to follow a principle, that is, take five and keep five. For items that only have a few pieces, you should sweep half at most and keep half."
"Ally?" Ke Jianzhen asked with narrowed eyes.
"Yes, if I want to raise the price, I can't do it by myself. I need a group of people with common interests to work together to raise the price."
"Hehe, with your scheme, those who collect things will be in trouble in the future." Ke Jianzhen said with a wry smile.
"You buy high and sell high! Speculating on antiques is not harmful to the world. It only brings benefits to ordinary people, not much harm. If some fools who know nothing about antiques want to get involved, it's just their greed."
As the prices of antiques go up, naturally there will be greedy and blind people who want to come in and get a piece of the pie.
These people will eventually become leeks.
From the late 1980s to the mid-1990s, a few copper coins were often printed on the last page of "Story Club", with words saying "this copper coin is worth hundreds of thousands" and "that one is worth tens of thousands".
What does this mean?
Yinan Yi's guess is that he just wants to trick a few idiots into coming in and chop them up.
When the price of a certain category of antiques rises to sky-high levels, it would be strange if there were no hidden force driving hoarding, in addition to their scarcity and historical heritage.
"Okay, but in the future, when you start to activate it, you still have to be careful not to expand it too much."
"Uncle Ke, don't worry. Why did I choose antiques instead of other things? It's because antiques are high-end and not something that ordinary people can touch. If I really don't care, there are too many things I can speculate on."
Nan Yi is not a bastard without bottom line. He will not stir up any names like Ginger Your Army, Garlic Your Cruel, Bean Your Play, Sugar Emperor, Zhu Jianqiang, or Ping in China. He will only harvest those greedy souls.
