Future Stamps and Coins Diary

Chapter 136: Remarkable Literary Talent
Sure enough, apart from some discussions in the Xiamituan and Jizang forums, this post did not attract much attention.

One is that the prediction is about next year, which is too vague, and the other is that in the eyes of many people, the financial crisis is very far away from them. Or even if they worship the "Shrimp God", they have not yet reached the point of believing that he can predict such a global crisis.

The next day, Huang Doudou called and said that everything had been arranged and that Ji Zang's two exclusive channels would soon be online.

After Lu Feng instructed to make the connection in a timely manner, he hurriedly immersed himself in studying appraisal.

Without the turmoil of the market and the various chores of the company, Lu Feng found that he learned very quickly. In half a month, he could easily complete the appraisal of old coins.

Especially after Kang Guochun found a lot of precious sample coins for him to practice, it became much easier.

Half a month later, Kang Guochun changed to a new category, and did the same endorsement, comparison, and hands-on verification.

Everything is a combination of theory and practice.

In just one month, Lu Feng finally realized what it meant to master one method to understand all methods, and also saw the background of a true old expert.

No matter whether it was old coins, gold and silver commemorative coins or precious stamps that could not be found on the market, Kang Guochun took them out one by one for Lu Feng to practice identification as if they were free.

More importantly, Lu Feng discovered that Kang Guochun was no longer limited to teaching him how to identify, but went a step further and asked him to write a summary and experience after returning home every day.

Kang Guochun would revise the draft word by word every time. If he encountered any mistakes, he would even personally teach by example.

There is no emotion, only the inheritance of nature.

A month later, Lu Feng had almost become a different person. He no longer looked at coins from the perspective of simple investment and collection, but more of studying their inner qualities. He also had a deeper understanding of coin culture.

Without Lu Feng's leadership, most of Zhongbo's businesses came to a standstill.

Fortunately, Huang Doudou, the only one who has really entered the industry, has his own things to do and has no time to rest.

I am responsible for maintaining two channels, creating some excitement in the group and tracking the results of the essay contest every day.

When Lu Feng appeared in the trading center again, Huang Doudou looked as aggrieved as a little girl.

"Brother Feng, you finally came out. Do you know how we have been spending this period of time?"

The three people standing next to him looked at him with contempt.

The three of them are so idle that they are almost growing mushrooms.

If last month’s salary had not been paid on time, even Liu Jiajia would have almost thought that Lu Feng had run away.

Lu Feng had lost weight, and his eye sockets were a little dark, but he was fuller and more energetic than ever before. "Okay, stop being disgusting. How's the essay contest going?"

Huang Doudou quickly took the computer and started making a report.

"There were more than 100 submissions, many of which I could not understand, so I asked Ms. Liu to review them and eliminated nearly half of them. According to the rules, we had to review them again and finally kept 10 for online public display and voting."

This was Lv Feng's idea. Online voting can create a fair and just environment and increase traffic to the Collection Forum.

Fair, only to a certain extent.

Lu Feng knew very well that in the end, it all depends on who has the most votes. Voting is the ultimate goal, and popularity is the only thing Lu Feng wants.

After the first essay solicitation, Lu Feng will take advantage of the popularity to further expand the market influence of the entire Macau edition.

Lv Feng had deliberately taken a day off today, so he didn't have much time. He immediately printed out the selected essays, and the five people took turns to score them. Finally, the total score was calculated and the top ten submissions were selected.

After working hard for a long time and finally confirming the manuscript, Lu Feng suddenly had an inspiration and wrote an article entitled "Looking at the future price trend of the entire page of Macau from a technical perspective".

The study during this period has made Lu Feng's perspective on the collection more diversified. He read the selected articles, and found that they were either full of boasting, or soft articles, or had only fancy words but lacked soul, and were far from achieving the results he wanted.

So he subconsciously thought of combining the two.

In less than an hour, Lu Feng wrote more than a thousand words fluently.

The four people next to him were also bored. Seeing Lu Feng finish writing in a serious manner, they immediately printed it out and gave each of them a copy.

Wu Xin and Liu Chang, who were finally no longer two pieces of black charcoal, could not figure out what was going on and felt confused.

Huang Doudou read it carefully several times, then suddenly turned to stare at Lv Feng and asked, "Brother Feng, what have you learned in the past month? Are you ready to change your career and become an expert?"

After reading it, Liu Jiajia was full of disbelief. "I didn't realize that student Lu is so talented in writing."

"Him?" Wu Xin was naturally the first one to disagree with Liu Jiajia's praise.

During their study, the three of them had excellent grades, ranking around 60 in the class. Among the three, Wu Xin had an absolute advantage, with a total score about ten points higher than the other two.

Liu Chang also read it again and again, but he could not see the "brilliant literary talent" that Liu Jiajia mentioned. There was not even a single obscure word in it. It was nothing like literary talent.

However, as he always had the worst Chinese grades, he absolutely didn't dare to speak.

"Put it up for me too. No need to canvass for votes. See if we can save some money." Lu Feng put the manuscript on the table with a smile and instructed Huang Doudou.

There are a total of ten places in the essay contest, with the highest prize being 10000 yuan for the special prize, followed by 5000 yuan, 3000 yuan, and 1000 yuan for the first, second, and third prizes, respectively. There are also six excellent prizes, all in the form of a set of eight cent coins, with a value of around yuan.

This is definitely an unprecedented high prize in the industry's essay competition, and it is rare to receive hundreds of submissions.

Regardless of their level, the four of them secretly submitted a draft. But unsurprisingly, they were all eliminated in the first round.

The only one that made it into the top ten was Liu Jiajia's article "How much is the value of a full page of Macau compared to a full page of RMB?"

After reading all the articles, Liu Jiajia was confident that she could get into the top four.

"Brother Feng, do you want to mobilize the brothers in the group to support us?" Huang Doudou said with a smile. He is now the number one in the Xiami group, so it is easy for him to get votes.

"No need, I just want to attract attention." Lu Feng said, and went out again to the third floor of the Stamp and Coin Market.

The first month's authenticity identification course has ended, but according to Kang Guochun, in the stamp and coin market, one can only identify authenticity, which is just the beginning.

The real masters are the craftsmen in the market, who can repair a banknote in extremely poor condition into a brand new and expensive one through their skillful hands.

Lu Feng had heard about this since he entered the industry. He had seen with his own eyes a stall owner buy a "Green Three Yuan" that was almost unrecognizable from a customer for 8000 yuan, and after some operations, he sold it for yuan the next day.

This is a true craftsman!

Only when you can recognize the renovation technique at a glance and can reproduce it by hand, can you become a master.

"As long as you reach that level, you can join the expert group of any coin appraisal institution." This is what Mr. An said.
