The old man is addicted to TV shopping. At first glance, he spends 150 thousand savings all night.

　　Wine advertisements on Channel 37, calligraphy and painting advertisements on Channel 43, and aerospace souvenirs on Channel 54. … … These shopping advertisements, which started at 12 o’clock in the middle of the night, were all night at first sight by 75-year-old Uncle Qin from Chengdu, saying that they were convenient for shopping alone the next day.

　　From the "iron rooster" who took a cheap ride to Dafeng to the "shopaholic" who received express delivery every month, the 150,000 yuan saved by Uncle Qin was consumed by various health care products, liquor, calligraphy and painting and commemorative coins in less than one year.

　　Half a wall of white wine, more than 20 paintings and calligraphy hidden under cabinets and beds, and various health care products &hellip standing on the bedside instead of diabetes drugs; … For these reasons, Uncle Qin almost broke up with his family. After a lifetime, the old couple cooked separately, did not talk to each other, and quarreled with their two sons as soon as they met.

　　"Liquor for 5 years, that’s amazing."

　　When he mentioned more than 90 pieces of liquor on the half wall of his home, Uncle Qin straightened his back, which was an important strategic deployment for him to realize his "million investment dream". "It’s good to put liquor for 3 years, and it’s great to put it for 5 years!" In a room of about 10 square meters, Uncle Qin’s voice is loud and clear.

　　Vip-specific wine, altar-sealed supreme wine, original wine, old sauce wine, one 6 bottles, two 699 yuan. Uncle Qin believes that these wines will appreciate several times or even dozens of times in time. The old man, who drinks a few cups every day, is reluctant to open it. Boxes of white wine are counted and wiped. "I originally bought 110 pieces, but later my younger son had to take them for entertainment, and there were only more than 90 pieces left!"

　　Qin Xi, the youngest son, said that wine is needed for "sales". "I want to be able to sell a little bit. I use this wine for parties, banquets and treats." Qin Xi sold more than 10 pieces back and forth, and each piece had to be paid to the old man 300 yuan on average. He felt that he was losing money. After checking online, Qin Xi felt even more at a loss. "A cheap bottle is 30 yuan."

　　Seeing that the wine was sold by his son, the old man decided that it was good wine. "I bought 20 more!" Uncle Qin said that it is not only for appreciation, but also for wine storage. In addition to liquor, more than 20 calligraphy and paintings hidden under cabinets and beds, various health care products instead of diabetes drugs, folk prescription cheats without publishing houses, and commemorative gold coins of aircraft carriers that have just been paid for and have not yet arrived are all uncle Qin’s treasures. The family couldn’t afford it. In November last year, Qin Xi rented the house next door and helped Uncle Qin’s baby move.

　　After placing an order by phone, Uncle Qin’s home, where he lived in the old community at the entrance of Yingmen for 21 years, became lively, and commodity sales calls and express delivery came to his door one after another. The retirement salary of 2700 yuan per month is often "advanced" by various commodities.

　　"These are not lies. I have basic skills in painting and calligraphy."

　　Before becoming a "collectible shopaholic", Uncle Qin was quite frugal. In order to get cheap, he once rode a motorcycle to Dafeng to buy things. When disposable chopsticks were just popular, they cost a dime. The old man always brought his own chopsticks. The refrigerator is piled with discounted meat bought from supermarkets and vegetable markets in the afternoon, and I have to catch several buses to buy cheap lettuce.

　　Great changes began at the end of 2015. Uncle Qin found that the income of the bank’s wealth management products was too small, so he gave his wife a swear word: I want to gamble. He is interested in all kinds of TV shopping products.

　　Uncle Qin took out ten calligraphy and paintings in the box from the cupboard, and the purchase price was 3980 yuan. "It’s the grandchildren’s works of Zhang Daqian and Xu Beihong. They will be worth a hundred times when they become famous." Uncle Qin carefully rolled it open, and the peony map and shrimp map were unobstructed. There is a catalogue of 10 calligraphy and painting writers on the booklet on the side of the box. No one is surnamed Zhang and no one is surnamed Xu. "These are not scams. What is painted on TV and on the spot is the same thing. I have basic skills in painting and calligraphy, and I can entertain guests by writing words."

　　Uncle Tian Yuqin bought 3 sets of Chinese Zodiac at 3980 yuan. "The top is gold, and the bottom is Hetian jade. The flashlight shines: green! One set for future generations. " Uncle Qin’s note at the lecture on health care products: "The secret recipe for treating diabetes … … 5,170 people have been cured. " This secret recipe contains white pepper, rooster and white-shelled egg, and he keeps it with him.

　　More "secret recipes" are in a book beside Uncle Qin’s pillow, called "The Secret Recipes", which has no copyright page and publishing house, and records the secret recipes of tens of thousands of diseases. Uncle Qin decided that the book was priceless, and he had to double it every day when he bought it for more than 900 yuan. "Future generations can see it, and there are too many remedies inside."

　　If the wife doesn’t give money, she will scold.

　　Sons Qin Dong and Qin Xi have thought of many ways. When the landline phone at home was removed, the mobile phone became a contact station again. Looking for relatives and friends to persuade, my father made a clear statement. Even his favorite grandson came forward, Uncle Qin still firmly believed that this wealth would be passed down from generation to generation.

　　Qin Dong once found a friend of the bank to identify the currencies of various countries that Uncle Qin bought for thousands of dollars. "As a result, it was only a few hundred dollars." Record the scam news on TV and show it to my father. "He didn’t say a word, but he will continue to buy it next time. As long as he goes back to his parents’ house every time, Uncle Qin will take his son and say that he will not stop for hours.

　　When the savings are used up and the salary is spent, my wife will start to scold Uncle Qin if she doesn’t give money. "Now the two people are separated, and my father doesn’t touch the meals cooked by my mother." Qin Dong has a headache.

　　What worries the two sons more is their health. In Qin Dong’s impression, my father stopped taking diabetes drugs three months ago. "He said that eating health care products has made him well." Uncle Qin told the Chengdu Business Daily that he stopped taking medicine more than a year ago and relied on health care products to maintain it. There is a health care product bought by Uncle Qin for one year at the bedside. The health care product "Q10" with a blue lid is said to come from Canada, and the bottle body does not have any Chinese logo. There is no QS certification mark on soybean phospholipid capsules and refined fish oil with white lids.

　　Uncle Qin is clear about the attitude that his family does not support. "They are too short-sighted and only know the tickets in front of them. My eyes can’t be wrong, this is an investment. " Because the salary is also taken out to buy health care products, it is gradually inconvenient for Uncle Qin to use money. "I also realized that I am buying less now." Uncle Qin immediately added, "but I have to do this, a set of aerospace molds." The series, which contains 30 gold coins, 30 gold bills and an aircraft carrier model, sells for 3980 yuan. Uncle Qin has already set it, and the courier will be delivered to your door in a few days.

　　The expected appreciation auction was delayed.

　　Uncle Qin feels that he is getting closer and closer to a million investment dreams. He said that the space currency he bought has risen from 100 yuan to 1000 yuan, and he still won’t let go at ten times the price. "The appreciation is not so high now, but the price will definitely double in a few years." Uncle Qin is going to pass these on. "Even if I am not alive, my son can see it, and their son can see it more. I bought these for them, and they understood and developed themselves. "

　　The appreciation auction that Uncle Qin is waiting for has been delayed since October this year. "It is said that it will be postponed in the future, and the appreciation is not so high now." He doesn’t know that the auction is a long time, so he can only wait until next year. "The appreciation is not so fast, and I will sell it. As long as it appreciates, my money will be returned." Qin Dong couldn’t help but answer: "What if the other one doesn’t accept it?" The old man suddenly raised his voice once: "Don’t accept it? You don’t understand anything! "

　　As early as last year, Uncle Qin told his son that part of his collection would be auctioned in March this year. "In March of this year, I asked, what did you say about the auction? Did you get the ticket back? " Qin Xi remembers that Uncle Qin explained a bunch of reasons for the postponement, saying that the new auction time was postponed.

　　Looking at the health care products, calligraphy and painting and liquor piled up all over the house, the two brothers Qin Dong and Qin Xi could only sigh. "Now parents lack what we buy directly, absolutely can’t give money, give money is ‘ Handover ceremony ’ Give it to others right away. " Seeing the old man sitting down, Qin Dong Station got up and rolled up the calligraphy and paintings piled up all over the sofa and put them back to their original objects. The calligraphy and paintings of Xu Beihong’s grandson were put on the top, and the handwriting looked like a dragon and a phoenix dance: home and everything.
