Global Collecting

The protagonist is a bit too greedy. He buys all the antiques and even houses. When their value skyrockets later, won't the sellers and their descendants hate him to death? The main problem is that this isn't the first or second time the protagonist has done this; some sellers weren't willing to sell, but he relentlessly pursued them.

If you like this kind of subject matter, and you can capture the sense of the era and the exciting moments, that would be absolutely amazing!

Ideally, this era should be interspersed with real-life figures starting from 1983, for a better sense of immersion.

The historical data, character portrayal, and pacing are all flawless. The only problem is: there are so many typos...

I'm from Yunnan. A truly skilled jade gambler never cuts stones in front of others; he always takes them home himself and knows for himself whether they've made a profit or a loss.

What really left me speechless was the storyline about plagiarizing songs. As a book meant for collectors, you turned it into entertainment. I stopped reading it because I saw that he was a plagiarist in Japan, but now that I'm looking back, wow, it's a recurring theme throughout the entire book. In the 80s, what couldn't you do to make money?

The more I read this book, the more depressing and nauseating it became. I won't even mention the cousin's divorce; it's not part of the main plot, so I'll tolerate it. But Liu Feiran caused so much trouble, and nothing happened to him. After killing someone behind Zhou's back, he just had a meal, and Zhou offered some compensation, and that was it?

The story is about a protagonist who travels back to 1980, making money and collecting antiques until he dies of illness in 2021! His grandson gets addicted to gambling, prostitution, and drugs, and sells all the antiques! In the end, the protagonist is turning in his grave! The End!

The worst novel I've ever read about antiques; the protagonist is the most pathetic, stupid, and utterly incompetent; the plot is incredibly awkward; and the plot has a bizarre twist of thought.

So, Xiao Yue's entire family was killed by his nephew. I don't know what the author was thinking; they seem to have no trouble writing what they themselves are doing.
