In these separate rooms, there are a large number of old objects. If you think it is rough, there must be at least hundreds of them.

Two of the largest old objects attracted Yang Jing's sight the most.

"This is the Arhat bed of Xiaoye Rosewood? Or is it from the Ming Dynasty?" When Yang Jing touched the dark bed with his hand, he couldn't help but ask excitedly.

The identification results given by the Holy Ring prove that the bed in front of me, which is somewhat similar to the modern double sofa style, is a Arhat bed built in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, or a genuine small-leaf red sandalwood wood.

Peter Wu raised a big thumbs up at Yang Jing and said with a smile: "The boss has such a good eye. You can see the source of this Arhat bed at a glance. That's right, this Arhat bed is indeed a bedding from the Ming Dynasty. I bought it after asking someone to appraise it."

“How much does this bed cost?”

"It's so cheap. I collected this Arhat bed and that Arhat bed from a waste purchase station. The Huanghuali Arhat bed and this Arhat bed from the Ming Dynasty cost me more than 300 yuan..."

Yang Jing was completely speechless. It was easy to say that Huanghuali's stepping bed, but this Arhat bed with small-leafed red sandalwood is really a rare treasure. This is an Arhat bed made of large materials of small-leafed red sandalwood, not the kind that is pieced together with small materials.

Although the small-leaf red sandalwood that created this bed is not as big as the material used in the red sandalwood desk by Emperor Qianlong, it is definitely not small. If it is placed in the original time and space, this Arhat bed alone will be priceless.

Seeing that Yang Jing was not speaking, Peter Wu explained: "When Mr. Ahler told me to buy more old items in Yanjing, he once told me to pay more attention to those scrap purchase stations. My God, I really didn't expect that there were so many good things in the scrap purchase stations in Yanjing. Not only old furniture, but also some ancient bronzes, irons and even famous calligraphy and paintings, you can see them there."

Peter Wu pointed to another room and said, "The room is filled with calligraphy and paintings that I bought from the owner of the waste purchase station. Those bosses understand that these calligraphy and paintings of ancient people are valuable, so they are all preserved separately. These calligraphy and paintings cost more than those old furniture or something."

Yang Jing looked over and found that there were many painted tubes in the room. I guess after Pete Wu took these paintings, he put them in the painted tube.

Yang Jing resisted the desire to open the painted tubes. Instead, he said lightly: "These ancient calligraphy and paintings must be protected more, and they cannot be placed in the painted tubes for a long time. They must be taken out for two or three months to hang them. It is best to hang them in the main room away from the light. Well, your current identity is different. You can ask the experts from the Palace Museum to come and see these paintings. The repairs that should be repaired and the mountings that should be mounted must be preserved. However, you don't need to tell them the origin of these calligraphy and paintings. If they ask, you will say they received them from friends."

Peter Wu Neng was chosen by Mike Aller as the person who was in charge of work in Yanjing. He was naturally a very clever person. He knew what his boss meant when he heard this. He nodded to show his understanding.

The scrap purchase stations in Yanjing in the late 1970s and early 1980s can be said to be Taobao paradise for antique enthusiasts. Those scrap purchase stations, especially large state-owned waste purchase stations, often contain many jaw-dropping old objects.

In fact, there are already people competing for business with Yang Jing. For example, Ms. Chen Lihua, who was later respected as the "Rood Sandal King", is now quietly purchasing Rod Sandal and Redwood Old Furniture. Among them, the scrap purchase station is one of the main sources of her acquisition.

There is also Mr. Ma Weidu, who is now quietly purchasing old items like Ms. Chen Lihua.

However, most antique lovers have not yet set their sights on these waste purchase stations. They will have to wait a few more years before they notice that the places where waste is actually the biggest treasure.

These things were all told by Yang Jing when he was a child. At that time, Mr. Yang had not retired yet and worked in the Palace Museum. Of course, it was Men Qing'er about this.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Jing did not hesitate to travel to the Cayman Islands in 1980 to earn money from foreigners through London Gold, and then formed the Dragon Fund, asking Mike Aller to find someone to come to Yanjing to invest in the Three North Shelterbelt, add a high-end identity to the Dragon Fund, and then let the Dragon Fund host worker acquire these old objects in China.

If you don’t accept it yourself, it must be someone else’s take it away. Moreover, you will definitely not buy these old items for sale. As long as you buy these precious antiques and cultural relics, their only end will be to enter your own private museum.

"Peter. Is the funds for purchasing these things enough?" After Yang Jing finished reading the old items in these rooms, he asked Pitt Wu when he walked back with a very satisfied mood.

"Boss, it's okay. I don't know if I don't come to Yanjing. These old items in Yanjing are really cheap and scary. Especially now, I use foreign exchange coupons to buy these things, which is even more popular."

"Boss, our US dollar cannot be used directly in Yanjing. Unless it is like the ones I invested in for a large amount of US dollars like the one I bought a house last year, we can directly connect with the bank in China. Otherwise, for general consumption, the US dollar has no use here. We can only go to the bank first to exchange for foreign exchange coupons that started circulation on April 1 last year, and then use this foreign exchange coupon to consume. However, this foreign exchange coupon seems to be more useful than the US dollar and is more popular than the national currency. However, it seems that we are at a disadvantage when buying things with foreign exchange coupons."

Yang Jing waved his hand and said, "You are a Chinese. I must know that there is an old saying in China that is called 'Suffering is a blessing'. Remember, Pete, we are outsiders. If we want to gain a foothold in Yanjing, it is nothing to suffer a small loss. Moreover, as your boss, I can still afford this loss."

"I understand, boss."

Yang Jing understood the loss that Peter Wu said, but Yang Jing knew better that this kind of small loss was very necessary.

When China was just reforming and opening up in the 1970s and 1980s, many things with Chinese characteristics appeared. The most famous one was the "dual track system". Not only were various materials available with "dual track system", but even foreign exchange, which is related to the most basic level of the country, also implemented the "dual track system".

For example, in 1981, the official exchange rate of the Chinese dollar against the national currency was 1:1.7, but an internal exchange rate was also implemented in China, which was 1:2.8.

The reason for this situation was also directly related to the national conditions at that time.

In that era, the country was extremely scarce in various materials and had poor foreign exchange reserves. Because there were few foreign exchange reserves and the number of domestic national currencies, this caused this dual-track exchange rate system to occur.

Especially in the late 1970s, as China's tourism industry began to develop, foreign economic and cultural exchange activities continued to increase, and more and more foreigners came to China. At that time, China implemented a unified national currency market, prohibiting foreign currencies from circulation in China, and foreign currencies could not be directly exchanged with national currency. In order to facilitate foreigners, overseas Chinese, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan compatriots in China, China Bank began issuing foreign exchange exchange vouchers from April 1, 1980.

Therefore, in that era, a "currency" appeared in China that was not a currency, and it was very popular in that era.

The emergence of foreign exchange bonds led to the first time when foreigners came to China, they had to go to China Merchants Bank to exchange foreign currencies into foreign exchange coupons at the exchange rate at the time. The denomination amount was 100 yuan, 50 yuan, 10 yuan, 5 yuan, 1 yuan, 5 jiao and 1 jiao. The face value is equivalent to the national currency, and no loss is allowed.

Although its ticket price is equivalent to that of national currency, it is much more powerful than national currency. At that time, the supply of materials in China was very tight, and shopping required tickets. If you buy rice and food coupons, you need to buy cloth coupons. If you want to buy color TVs and refrigerators, you are not only expensive, but also have very few supply. Some people may not be able to buy overnight queues at the door of the store in order to buy color TVs. However, if you use foreign exchange coupons, you will save such trouble. It is a ticket and a currency combination. If you use foreign exchange coupons to shop, you don’t have to rely on tickets anymore. Because of this, foreign exchange coupons are very high on the black market. At the highest, 1 yuan foreign exchange coupon can be exchanged for 5 yuan national currency.

For example, if Pitt Wu wants to exchange foreign exchange coupons at China Merchants Bank, he can only exchange them according to the official exchange rate at that time, that is, 100 US dollars can only be exchanged for 170 foreign exchange coupons. If Pitt Wu does not use national currency to buy these old items, but uses foreign exchange coupons to buy them, he can only consume according to the real currency value of the foreign exchange coupons.

For example, Peter Wu took a fancy to a Huanghuali ring chair from the Qing Dynasty. This ring chair was only sold for 20 national coins in this era, so Peter Wu needed to take out a foreign exchange coupon of about 11.7 yuan to buy this Huanghuali ring chair.

But if these 11.7 yuan foreign exchange coupons are sold to those who are inverted exchange on the black markets such as Friendship Store and Yabao Road, how much national currency can they be sold? It is about 40 to 50 national currency!

In other words, if Pete Wu uses foreign exchange coupons to buy the Huanghuali ring chair, he will probably lose 20 to 30 national coins!

In that era, 30 national currency was equivalent to a worker's salary per month, which was enough to make the family of three eat without worries.

If this kind of loss is strictly calculated, it is quite considerable.

But even if it is not small, Yang Jing will suffer this loss. Yang Jing is very clear about how huge the US dollar he has in his hands is. In this era, US$1.6 billion is more than half of all foreign exchange reserves in China.

In 1981, the entire China's foreign exchange reserves were only US$2.708 billion!

If Yang Jing released the dollars in his hand and exchanged them for foreign exchange coupons, Huaxia would naturally welcome them with both hands. But if the exchange coupons exchanged from the black market to national currency at the exchange rate of the black market, even if they were exchanged for only one tenth of the money, it would cause great turmoil in China's economy.

This is definitely something that the Chinese government does not allow!

Yang Jing knew very well that if he dared to do this, the country would definitely expel himself and his people without hesitation. It would be absolutely impossible to enter China with Michael Lynch in the future.

Therefore, such seemingly lucrative things cannot be done. Foreigners like Pitt Wu who seem to hold huge amounts of dollars will definitely be closely monitored in this era. Once he dares to do something extraordinary, the country will definitely not take any mercy.

Besides, Yang Jing never thought of doing this. His own money was earned from foreigners, and he used the money in China where foreign exchange was in urgent need of foreign exchange. Although he suffered some losses, compared to his huge net worth, this loss was not even a drop in the bucket. Moreover, if you suffer such losses, the country can even give you a high look at you, why not do it?

Yang Jing thought it was very cost-effective to use this loss to exchange for the country's refusal to turn a blind eye to the practice of purchasing old items.
