Once, a relative ran to ask Ma Weidu to borrow 500,000 yuan, and Ma Weidu refused without thinking about it, and cried poorly: Don't ask me to borrow money, I am a poor man holding a golden rice bowl, and there is no savings in the family! In 2015, the Mavidu Museum was worth $7.8 billion, and Ma Weidu became a theoretical billionaire, but he insisted he had no savings. What's going on?
Ma Wei is a collector's fan, and when it comes to the number one player in today's collection circle, almost everyone will think of him.
At the beginning, Ma Wei was not good at work, liked to study the "four old and broken", and what others could not see, Ma Weidu was very interested.
At that time, everyone said that Ma Wei was not doing his job properly and could not support his family well.
However, his wife was very supportive of him, turning one eye and closing one eye to his unprofessional work, and Ma Wei said everything, and his wife said yes.
With such a husband and wife following his wife, Ma Weidu also boldly became bold and let go of his hands and feet to start his own collection business.
At that time, some streets, fish and dragons were mixed, all kinds of people, etc., as well as people who had been released from prison, dumping some old crock pots, broken copper and rotten iron, living a living life, many people scoffed at this, and felt that there was no grade.
But Ma Weidu often ran here, sometimes three or five yuan can take a baby, he took advantage of the work trip, but also went to the countryside to "collect the rags.".
Ma Weidu has his own unique ability to identify antiques, and he relies on worship and speculation to form his own set of theories, using the jianghu method. For example, relying on low collection and high selling, skillfully taking advantage of robbery, pits and abductions, trying to be lucky, relying on eyesight, talking about righteousness, playing with the eyes of the heart, and seeing people talking is also full of nonsense.
In this way, Ma Weidu was in the antique world, cutting thorns and thorns, and the harvest was full.
Later, after Ma Weidu became famous, he bragged at Wang Shuo and said that his family history, Wang Shuo quipped to him, "You are an upside-down antique, you can still have no points in your heart", in fact, it means that Ma Weidu's history of his family is not "glorious" at all.
In 1997, Ma Weidu collected a lot of treasures and established the first private museum in China, the Guanfu Museum. The museum alone covers an area of more than 7,000 square meters, and the construction cost is 14.8 billion yuan, and the value of the collection inside is estimated to be even more difficult to describe. His exposure in the Hundred Pulpits has also increased his popularity and become the number one spokesperson in the Chinese antique industry today.
However, only Ma Weidu knew in his heart that many of his treasures were obtained by "picking up leaks". He himself mentioned these two words on the show, and he also smiled, obviously not less than a big profit in picking up leaks.
After Ma Weidu became famous, relatives and friends often came to ma's house to borrow money, and even once, relatives borrowed 500,000 yuan as soon as they opened their mouths.
In this regard, Ma Weidu poured bitter water, refused to borrow money from relatives, and said that he was a poor man holding a golden rice bowl, and there was really no savings in the family.
In 2015, the total value of Ma Weidu's collection of treasures reached 7.8 billion, and now it is even more expensive, these treasures are all collected by Ma Weidu for 30 years of painstaking efforts, although the collection is valuable, but it cannot be realized. Therefore, it is also true that Ma Weidu said that he had no savings.
However, this kind of poor person holding a golden rice bowl describes himself, and Ma Weidu can also be regarded as a high-profile show of wealth. Ma Weidu enjoyed spiritual wealth, there was really no money in life, antiques could only be seen after all, could not be realized, and did not know whether this life was worth it in the end.
