This kind of stall was also a common stall in old Yanjing. In the early years when Yanjing City was strictly checked, many vendors used this method to sell goods. The goods were placed on the cart. Once they found someone coming to check, they put the valuable and fragile things in the car, and then pushed the cart and ran away, and no one could catch up...
This stall is just a three-wheeled stall.
However, Yang Jing was quite attracted by the things displayed on this tricycle stall.
The three-wheeled stall is not big, but it can display a lot of things, because in addition to the hardwood board at the bottom, the stall also has three pieces of plywood erected. These three pieces of plywood are foldable. When not in use, they can be put down and stacked together with the wooden board at the bottom. After being propped up, many small items can be hung on these plywood boards.
This stall mainly sells "red collectibles".
The so-called "red collectibles" is a general term for objects related to the great ancestor of China. (PS: Well, I was also very embarrassed when writing this paragraph. How to address the chairman was a big problem. Writing the chairman's name directly would be disrespectful, and it would definitely be marked with a harmonized asterisk. So I thought about it and could only use "Great Ancestor" as a respectful title. Please don't mind.)
These include the most common items such as "Emperor Taizu Badge", "Emperor Taizu Quotations", "Emperor Taizu Portrait", "Emperor Taizu Porcelain Statue", "Selected Works of Mao Zedong", etc.
The three upright plywood boards of this stall are hung with badges of Emperor Taizu, while the large hardwood board underneath is filled with Quotations from Emperor Taizu and Selected Works of Mao Zedong.
In the minds of the Chinese people, Taizu has an unsurpassed status. It is absolutely no exaggeration to say that Taizu is revered by all people! Because Taizu has a high status in the minds of ordinary people, and Taizu has long left us, the "red collection" about Taizu is becoming more and more prosperous.
There are 80,000 kinds of Taizu badges, with a total number of 500 million, which have been listed as "modern cultural relics". Although the collection of Taizu badges started relatively recently compared to the traditional art market, the number of Taizu badge collectors is actually increasing, highlighting the contradiction between supply and demand, which has led to a continuous rise in the badge market. Despite this, some experts believe that compared with the market value of foreign badges, the current price of Taizu badges is still far from being in place, and there is still a lot of room for growth. As time goes by, it may even surpass the value of traditional artworks.
In 2017, before Yang Jing passed it on, the collection of Taizu badges had become increasingly popular. Although there are a large number of Taizu badges, the prices of some of the smaller or even rarer ones are already quite expensive. It is said that there is only one pair of badges made of black jade and white jade in the world, and the black jade badge was bought by an Australian collector for 12 million in the late 1990s... Who knows how much the only white jade badge left in the country is worth now!
Of course, the reason why they can be sold at such an outrageous price is mainly because they are rare. Some of the badges that were produced in large quantities at that time were mostly sold at around ten yuan each.
Most of the badges on display at this stall are the ones that were produced in large quantities back then. Even in 2017, these badges were only 20 or 30 yuan each. Now they are even cheaper. The boss directly set a price of 50 cents each...
Of course, these badges did not arouse Yang Jing's interest. What attracted him was the large badge hanging on the edge of a plywood board.
This badge was indeed very large. Yang Jing estimated that the diameter was at least nine centimeters, if not ten centimeters. This was many times larger than the average badge which had a diameter of only two or three centimeters.
The most important thing is that this badge can occasionally emit fluorescence. As long as the battery light on the boss's booth is blocked, this badge will emit fluorescence, and it is this occasional fluorescence that attracted Yang Jing.
This badge turned out to be an extremely rare luminous badge.
Yang Jing had also obtained some information about the luminous badges before using his time travel skills. In 2017, a domestic collector of red items ranked the most precious badges of Taizu, among which a pair of large luminous badges with a diameter of nine centimeters ranked sixth at a price of 3.36 million.
Yang Jing had also seen pictures of the pair of luminous badges, and the badge in front of him looked exactly the same as the luminous badge in the pictures he had seen before!
This badge is made of ceramic material, with a side profile of Emperor Taizu on the front, three overlapping red flags in the background, and the Forbidden City gate tower below. Under weak light, this badge is just an ordinary ceramic badge, but once the light is blocked, the badge will emit fluorescence, and the fluorescence emitted is exactly the side profile of Emperor Taizu!
"Damn, isn't this the luminous badge of Grandpa Taizu?" Yang Jing looked at it for a long time before he finally confirmed the identity of the badge. If this badge is really the legendary luminous badge, doesn't it mean that it can be auctioned for millions of dollars? The most important thing is that the quality of this badge is definitely more than 9.5, and it is well preserved. Such a good quality is better than the pair of luminous badges he had seen in the picture!
If I bring this back...
