1980, Guo Qin, who was only 18 years old, reluctantly gave up her dream of college entrance examination and took the so-called bank iron rice bowl instead of her mother. Repeated boring work day after day, he gradually developed a special interest in colorful RMB and collected it. In the eyes of people in those days, this should be a very stupid and rare thing. When Guo Qin got into trouble, he lost control. At that time, his salary was only twenty or thirty yuan a month. For a young man in his prime, there is not much left after eating, and there is no money to collect. However, his obsession with collecting almost made him lose his mind, that is, working as an hourly worker after work to earn money. From helping people move things to doing odd jobs in the decoration team, from pasting wallpaper and floor tiles to working for himself, he almost didn't rest all night and went to work normally during the day. At that time, Guo Qin suffered a lot. Extreme fatigue caused him to get acute pleurisy. During his stay in hospital, his parents helped him with the rest of his work with a tricycle. But he did more than that. Because he has a good foundation in Chinese at school, he writes articles and uses his spare time to write crazily at night after dinner. Fortunately, his writing style is not bad, and his contribution rate is relatively high. Only during that time, the monthly payment income caught up with his salary. All this money was used by him to collect coins.
1990, that is, the tenth year of Guo Qin's work, suddenly one day, he made an unexpected decision, resigned and went to sea, and decided to concentrate on his favorite coin collection career. You know, at that time, many college graduates were worried about not having an iron rice bowl. In everyone's regret and incomprehension, he went south to Guangzhou and started selling coins and gifts from door to door. He has suffered, been scolded and cheated. He persisted in all this and accumulated a certain amount of money. When he was in Guangzhou, he made a bold decision to go north to Beijing and do coin business in the place where the financial headquarters gathered. Beijing is not only the center of financial policy formulation, but also the center of financial currency issuance, and there is much to be done here.
When he first arrived in Beijing, it was inevitable to fight with the security guard when selling, but Guo Qin made friends with the boss who was responsible for defending a financial building with his kindness and wisdom, and the boss specially vacated the laundry room of the building to accommodate him, ending his history of living in Iveco trucks since he entered Beijing for several months. With the promotion and expansion of business, the enthusiastic boss lent his spare room to Guo Qin for three years. Guo Qin recalled that it was said to be a dormitory. In fact, except for people sleeping on the sofa, other places are full of goods, so tired that they sleep with clothes almost every day. Every time he said this, Guo Qin was always moved and flushed. Without the support and encouragement of his boss, he may not be able to persist in Beijing. This boss has been retired for many years, but he is a good friend that Guo Qin often talks about, and he will keep it in his heart all his life.
In the past three or four years, with the accurate control of the coin market and accurate prediction of various currencies, Guo Qin achieved great success once and entered the fast lane of development in Beijing. At this time, Guo Qin is no longer Guo Qin, who just entered Beijing to live in a truck, nor Guo Qin, who worked as a handyman for the decoration team all night. At this time, he already has a three-story commercial building in Beijing Financial Street, and two houses in the West Third Ring Road near the financial building where he started, and he has been touring lectures and signing sales all the year round. At the same time, the long-dreamed first folk coin museum in China was successfully opened in Financial Street, realizing his long-cherished wish as a collector to "pass on history with coins". At this time, Guo Qin, who became famous in one fell swoop, was also honored as the "money king" of China by people in the industry. For this title, some friends in the circle explained that after years of hard work and wealth, he is a veritable rich man; Secondly, he collects all kinds of coins with many categories and high specifications, which are rare in China. In this regard, Guo Qin said with some trepidation: I prefer to hear someone call me "teacher".
In 2020, when Guo Qin lived in his home affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, he finally had a chance to calm down and think about his life. The hardships and hardships of drifting and struggling for more than 30 years emerge from time to time. Suddenly, he came into being with the idea of returning the fallen leaves to their roots and going home for development, and his heart moved. Without much preparation, he went south to Xi 'an, where he gave birth to him and raised him, and his career began. He went to Huimin Street, ate mutton and bread pieces in soup, listened to the Shaanxi opera by the city wall, took a break, and began to plan his career in Xi 'an. At this time, Xi People's Paradise has built a private financial street and vigorously developed private financial undertakings. Guo Qin, full of feelings of mulberry, made up his mind to rebuild the stage and sing again, and moved the Beijing Coin Museum back to Xi 'an. Compared with Beijing, the people in Xi need such a museum more to satisfy their curiosity and appreciation of the currency issued by these highest authorities.
At the beginning of 20021,after three months of careful preparation, the Coin Museum in wanda plaza Pedestrian Street, People's Paradise, was grandly opened. Mr. Liu Wenxi, the late famous painter and author of the Fifth Portrait of RMB Mao Zedong, wrote a plaque of "Rich Family" for Guo Qin before his death, which was prominently hung outside the museum gate, silently telling people that the story here is about coins.
Walking into the museum, all kinds of collections are dazzling and beautiful. Here, you can see the horseshoe gold and horseshoe silver often seen by heroes in film and television dramas, as well as the Qin and Han Dynasties to the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, such as Qin Banliang, Wuzhu, copper coins and silver dollars. There is also the legendary second set of real RMB 3 yuan banknotes printed by the former Soviet Union (the only 3 yuan denomination banknote circulating after the founding of the People's Republic of China), the "big black pick" worth a Mercedes-Benz BMW (the second set of round banknotes), and the magical story that "Qian Wang" bought four floors with three banknotes widely circulated in the industry. On the second floor, some banks can also find some physical remains of banks a hundred years ago. If you are lucky enough to meet the opening of the Jianbao Museum on the fourth floor of the museum, you can also see the "national banknotes" known as the treasures of the town museum. The fourth set of RMB seven-faced notes (1, 2,5, 1 yuan, 2 yuan, 5 yuan, 10) issued by the state is the only one in China at present.
The museum has also specially set up a red financial exhibition area, which shows the Soviet (Viennese) currency, base currency and border (regional) currency in various periods from the establishment of 19265438 China * * Production Party to the establishment of 1948 China People's Bank. These coins also reflect the hardships of the revolutionary war and the heroism of the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries who sacrificed their lives for the liberation of the people of China. Seeing this, I salute you: it is rare for a businessman to pay so much attention to this red currency history and display it in a special area. Dude said meaningfully: From Xi 'an to Guangzhou, and from Guangzhou to Beijing, years of hard work have made me keenly feel the greatness of China's * * * production party. Everything we have now was bought with life and blood by the proletarian revolutionaries of the older generation. Today is hard-won. Du De went on to say: At present, there are three party member in our museum, and I am applying to the government to set up a party branch in the museum, hoping that under the leadership of the party, the cause of the coin museum will be more prosperous. Now, it is also a red financial education base, and people come here every day to visit and receive red financial education. I smiled: I didn't expect your ideological consciousness to be so high. Dude said: a coin history is the history of Chinese civilization for 5 thousand years. I don't open a museum to make money. I just want to show our culture, history and heritage through coins. Everything I have done is to hope that future generations can remember history and learn from it, so that our country, nation and people will no longer suffer from civil strife, aggression and hunger and cold, cherish the happy life now and strive to realize the great rejuvenation of the nation.
When I said these words, the man still looked at me shyly, as if the student had just answered the teacher's question. At this moment, I feel very ashamed and secular, because in the process of interacting with him, I will still try to put on the hat of the local tyrant upstart from time to time. Now it seems that these hats really don't suit him.
Holding millions of wealth, I have feelings of home and country. This is Guo Qin, simple and clear.
