Ma Weidu built an underground treasure house of 14.8 billion yuan, sitting on 24 "golden caves", piled high with antiques to make people jealous

Mainland antique collectors are a very large group, they must have a certain economic strength, of course, the most important thing is to have expertise in antique identification. The calligraphy and paintings, sculptures, porcelain, jade, etc. that we know are the first choice for collectors, and this group of collectors has spontaneously formed a collectors' association.

Under the premise of abiding by the law and morality, they publicize the awareness of cultural relics collection to the public through the association, publicize the laws and regulations related to cultural relics, and also protect and collect various collections scattered among the people. Naturally, the Collectors Association will also organize various academic lectures and knowledge lectures, so that more people with the intention of collecting can participate in the ranks of collecting. Now many people with economic strength are also active in the ranks of collecting, which is not only a literary activity to cultivate sentiments, but more importantly, the collection is valuable.

Collect antiques for decades and accumulate a lot of wealth

The protagonist of this article is a cultural scholar who has been in the collection for decades, and he is Ma Weidu. Ma Weidu's identity is very important, first of all, Ma Weidu is a writer, he began to write literature at the age of 25, and at the age of 26 he published his novels in the press.

Ma Weidu's greatest achievement is not in the field of literary creation, but in the field of antique collection, he has always been very passionate about antique collection, since the eighties began to collect antiques, and began to publish many collecting works since 1992. In 1996, Ma Weidu established the Guanfu Classical Art Museum with his own efforts and the affirmation of relevant departments.

The museum collects ancient Chinese artworks, including some porcelain, jade, etc., and in 1999, the museum also exhibited the doors and windows of ancient Chinese buildings, which received a lot of praise from the industry. After that, Ma Weidu's museum set up branches in Hangzhou and Xiamen, and his collection business was also prosperous.

While collecting, Ma Weidu exerted his literary skills, published many books on antique collection, and also appeared on CCTV's "Hundred Family Forum" to talk about the knowledge of antique collection. In 2016, Ma Weidu was awarded the title of "Chinese Intangible Cultural Heritage Artisan Cultural Ambassador", which is also the country's affirmation of his achievements in collection. Ma Weidu's nearly forty years of antique collecting career has accumulated a lot of wealth for him, and some people even conservatively estimate that the value of his collection alone may be close to 10 billion yuan.

Huge amounts of underground treasure troves, the degree of luxury is shocking

Of course, the value of the collection can only be said to be part of all of Ma Weidu's wealth, because in addition, he also spent 14.8 billion yuan in the Shanghai Tower to build an underground treasure trove, which covers an area of more than 7,000 square meters. The contents of the underground treasury are the most shocking, because Ma Weidu has placed 24 vaults in his underground treasury, and it is said that even the keys to the vault are made of pure gold, and the degree of luxury is unimaginable. What is inside such an underground treasure house? Is it really as luxurious as the legend goes?

The reason why Ma Weidu wanted to create an underground treasure trove here in the first place was because when the Shanghai Tower was first built, he felt that the building lacked some vitality and cultural connotations, so that the building would not look so gray and cold. So the idea of transforming the underground took root in his mind, and soon he began to turn the idea into reality.

First of all, the building has five floors lower, and it was completely transformed into the way Ma Weidu thought, costing 14.8 billion yuan. The amount of 14.8 billion yuan is unimaginable, according to calculations, 14.8 billion yuan is 170 tons, and if the 14.8 billion yuan is stacked together, it is three kilometers higher than Mount Everest. The number is simply staggering, showing how luxurious this underground treasure trove is. The underground treasure house of Ma Weidu also has many functions, and the underground has the storage of some of the museum's daily necessities, and can also provide convenient services for the rich elite.

There are also 24 vaults in the underground treasury, and because the treasure houses are filled with gold and various luxury collections, the security and configuration requirements for the treasure house are very high. Its security measures and the security measures of the regular museum are comparable, the key to different people is responsible, the key to open the vault must be opened by several people with their own keys, after all, the gold in the treasure house weighs 25 pounds each.

Ma Weidu talked about his wealth and did not feel that he was a rich man

Everyone who saw Ma Weidu's underground treasure house expressed great surprise that access must go through security checks, and after security checks, there are passwords, palm prints and even eye mask recognition. After all, it is a huge private vault, and it is certainly not possible to do a good job of security. In the final analysis, the treasure house built by Ma Weidu is a service for the rich, and ordinary people must be beyond the reach of the dust.

It is said that Ma Weidu himself does not know how much assets he has, and he even feels that he is not a rich person as people say, and he usually does not take a lot of cash out of the house. But the collection owned by Ma Weidu alone is already very valuable, and a person who runs several antique museums is very valuable without thinking. Coupled with the fact that Ma Weidu spent a lot of money to build an underground vault, gold and antiques are items that will increase in value, so the degree of richness is absolutely impossible for us to feel.

Now many people see that the appreciation space of antiques is large, and they also hope to collect some antiques. But the collection of antiques is indeed very risky, and it is necessary to have relevant professional knowledge and the ability to resist risks. After all, the proportion of fakes in the market is very high, collecting antiques is like buying stocks, the profit can be multiplied hundreds of times, but if you buy fakes, it is a grain without harvest or even ruined.

And the preservation of antiques is also a science, the age of antiques, if not properly preserved is not only the loss of antiques, but more importantly, the value will fall a lot. Therefore, we can't see that the antique industry has made a lot of profits and has no knowledge to contact antiques, antiques and other learning should be systematically learned, and people who rely on antiques to make a fortune are after all a minority. Therefore, it is still the same sentence "investment is risky, and collection needs to be cautious". It is necessary to have the eyesight to distinguish between authenticity and falsity, the ability to afford to buy fakes, and of course, it is more important to carry out collection activities within the scope permitted by law, and think twice.
