Chapter 1888: Massive Purchase 2
There were too many materials to buy. With the help of guard Xia Shuhuai, the mother and her friends spent more than two days and went to several bookstores to collect the required amount. They mailed them out according to the addresses and names. At the same time, the portion of the things Feng Qingyun asked Adrian to bring that belonged to Xi Bao and the clothes, shoes and food that Feng Qingxue prepared for her family were also mailed back to Wanglou Brigade.
Taking this opportunity, Feng Qingxue bought a lot of colorful stamps. She bought everything that was available in the post office, and bought them in full sheets. Last time she sent something from Shanghai, she forgot about her stamp collecting career and made up for it.
Fubao asked her why she bought so many stamps, and Feng Qingxue didn't fool her. She smiled and said, "No matter what is in the world, it is rare and valuable. Paper items are not easy to preserve, and stamps are one of them. Where are the earliest stamps now? Maybe they will be valuable in a certain year."
Fubao remembered it in his heart and slowly fell in love with stamp collecting, but that's another story.
At this time, the meeting of the military region ended, and Xia Shuhuai and a group of military region generals gradually left the hotel. Before leaving, he and Lin Yifan came to see Feng Qingxue and her mother, and told Feng Qingxue that there would be a plane flying to the capital in three days.
Now the planes do not have flights every day, and the news they brought is very important to Feng Qingxue.
There are only three days left, and Feng Qingxue took the time to take the children to visit Shanghai.
Shanghai has its own characteristics of a big city, and several scenic spots are quite famous. Several children are almost crazy. Even Fubao is lingering in the department store and the second-hand store, only sighing that he is short of money and cannot take all the things he likes home, until he met Adrian wandering around and taking pictures in the Friendship Store.
The goods in the Friendship Store are all used to earn foreign exchange. Although Feng Qingxue can enter with her work certificate at her level, there are some things she is not qualified to buy.
For example, now Feng Qingxue has chosen a porcelain plate with a price of 300 yuan. It is a genuine product from the Qianlong period, with a rich style.
She had a deep impression of this plate. It appeared at the Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong in the late 1980s. The hammer price was as high as more than 8 million Hong Kong dollars, plus a 10% commission, and the total value was equivalent to 10 million RMB. It was auctioned again in the millennium, and the price more than tripled. Ten years later, it was directly over 100 million. She saw it in an interview about cultural relics.
She wanted to buy it, but the salesperson refused to sell it to her.
"This is used to earn foreign exchange for the country. It is only sold to foreign guests. You can buy it with a foreign passport or overseas remittance coupons. It is best to use foreign currency. Of course, it is not impossible to use RMB." Faced with Feng Qingxue, the salesperson was a little impatient. The purchase price of this bowl was one yuan. The high price was set for foreign guests. Ordinary people don't have this kind of spare money.
Feng Qingxue's eyes lit up, and she pulled Adrian over directly, "Dear friend, please do me a favor."
Adrian was enthusiastic and kind. After understanding the whole story, he said readily: "No problem, I'll buy it for you! In addition to this plate, do you want to buy anything else? I can help you with anything."
Seeing the foreigner standing with Feng Qingxue, the salesperson immediately changed his attitude and smiled kindly and enthusiastically.
Feng Qingxue said: "Buy this plate first, and then I'll see if there are other things I like."
Opportunities are rare.
After years of learning and her experience of appreciating almost all the antiques in the batch of antiques from the Shanghai Cultural Relics Department, she has a certain level of appreciation for antiques, and soon found seven or eight good things, including calligraphy and paintings.
