Behind luck, there is often 99% hard work. However, if you relax and slack off, luck will pass you by. Roland once said that success may be made up of 99 percent effort and 1 percent luck, but this does not ignore the importance of luck in life.
In this world, some people strive for their future with unremitting efforts, and some people can win the envy of countless people with just a little luck.
In people's lives, there will always be some lucky people, their luck may bring them academic qualifications, may bring countless wealth and glory, this kind of luck odds, for most people, is out of reach.
However, there is a gentleman surnamed Qin, who is not so lucky, but he has his own happiness. Mr. Qin has a deep love for antiques, and he has never given up despite all the difficulties he has encountered in the process of collecting antiques over the years.
At an auction, he succeeded in obtaining an antique robe with his persistence, which made his life more colorful from then on. Mr. Qin has had a strong interest in history-related things since he was a child, and he has studied history in depth as an adult, and gradually fell in love with antiques and other things.
Although his financial strength did not allow him to collect overpriced antiques, he did not regret it. Because he knows that for him, owning his favorite antiques is already a kind of happiness.
A rag is not worth mentioning, but for Mr. Qin, it has endless value. Because through this rag, he learned about history, gained knowledge, and more importantly, found his own happiness.
He never gave up any opportunity to meet antiques, no matter when and where the auction was held, he would try his best to participate, although he could not have it, but the process of participation broadened his horizons, and gradually learned to identify by himself, and was able to roughly estimate the value of antiques.
At an auction in 2005, all kinds of strange antiques were available, and the host introduced these time-keeping, story-rich, and amazing antiques in detail.
Mr. Qin sat alone in the corner, feeling a little lonely, feeling sad about his powerlessness. In the enthusiasm of the host and the bidding of everyone, Mr. Qin suddenly noticed a robe, and the host has only briefly introduced it so far in the auction.
This seemingly ordinary yellow robe resembled a shabby yellow fabric, which was ignored by the bosses present. However, as the auction is coming to an end, the host's eyes are finally focused on this item from the last years of the Qing Dynasty.
He announced the existence of the robe with a starting price of 90,000 yuan, which made Mr. Qin, a veteran who had participated in auctions for many years, feel the impulse in his heart. With his rich auction experience, he had a hunch that this seemingly ordinary robe might hide an unknown value.
So he decisively shouted out the bidding price, at this time his heart was full of nervousness, he was worried that there were other heroes joining the competition, if ** was kept being raised, he might have to choose to give up.
Mr. Qin auctioned a robe at auction for 90,000 yuan, this robe has a long history, and the family background is longer than the mobile phone number. Everyone present at the time laughed at him for being stupid and felt that he had lost a lot.
However, Mr. Qin has his own ideas, he thinks that the lines of this robe are clear and the color is extraordinary, and he may be able to find an expert to identify it and make a lot of money.
After returning home, Mr. Qin excitedly told his wife the "good news", hoping to take out the family's savings and invest. However, his wife was very angry when she heard this, and thought that he must have gone mad.
Although in 2005, many families worked hard for years to save 90,000 yuan, which was used to maintain the family and raise children, not for hobbies.
Therefore, Mr. Qin's wife is understandably angry. However, this did not shake his determination to buy the robe. Under Mr. Qin's persuasion, his relatives and friends even agreed to lend him money.
When he got this robe, he was pleasantly surprised, he thought it was just a single layer of fabric, but he didn't expect that there was a mezzanine inside.
Mr. Qin's eyes widened, and he clenched the magnifying glass, studying the robe in detail. He was fascinated by the dense small print, and despite his experience, he could not understand the unfamiliar words.
So, he decided to call in an expert to assist him. Experts have identified the age of the robe. They point out that the robe is extraordinary, and although it is made of yellow fabric, it may have come from the palace, but it was not a garment worn every day, but was used for royal funerals.
What a successful slack!
After discovering a cultural relic, Mr. Qin learned that someone was willing to buy it, but he did not believe that it was the only place of value. So he looked around for someone who could identify the historical value of cultural relics, and under the introduction of a friend, he found the famous cultural relics appraiser Zhang Shufen.
After careful study, Zhang Shufen told Mr. Qin that the inscription on this cultural relic was **, which was used by Emperor Qianlong, and the material was the best gold wire in the country, so it has extremely high historical value.
It turns out that this golden quilt with two layers of gold is not as ordinary as it seems. Its real value lies in the middle layer of cloth covered with **, which is made of Tibetan antelope cashmere, although there was no mechanization in the handicraft industry at that time, but it can still show such exquisite embroidery.
This layer of fabric is profound and rare, and only the true connoisseur can discover it. Mr. Qin was the lucky discoverer, who became a multimillionaire overnight because of this quilt.
The regret of the auction house also proves the value of this quilt. This is the legend of Mr. Qin's "broken quilt", which allows us to see the beauty of Tibetan antelope cashmere and ancient embroiderers.
Despite Mr. Qin's **success** of 65.5 million, his robe remained hot in the auction market until 2018, when it was sold by an anonymous buyer for 1300 million yuan was auctioned, and so far, the story of this robe has come to an end temporarily.
Mr. Qin's story sparked widespread discussion, and many people believed that his success was due to good luck, so they also began to imitate it, hoping to reach the sky in one step. However, luck always favors those who are prepared, and only the persistence of dreams can bring hope of success.
The reason why Mr. Qin can see the difference in that robe at a glance is inseparable from his love for antiques and his persistent research. In the same way, without his courage to defy the crowd, he may not have been able to seize such luck.
Therefore, we can say that good luck is not accidental, but comes from perseverance and courage in things.
