When I have some spare money and the bank interest is too low, what good way is there to accumulate wealth? Buy stocks? Invest in real estate? These old methods are good, but the risks are relatively high. Stocks are locked in, when the real estate is down, life become so miserable. I have also heard that families were scattered or families were destroyed. The cost of this good method is randomly and no more a good investment solution. 
 
In these peaceful years, even banks, real estate companies, and many related practitioners invest part-time in art collections business. In Taiwan, I often see the Commonwealth Bank and several other financial companies holding art competitions and award-winning art exhibitions, then awarding large amounts of prize money to the winning artworks. The painters or creators behind these winning works are becoming a recorded investment pair. From the moment on, their paintings have a certain documented value in the art collection market. Because of the advanced computer technology, the art market has gradually evolved into a new investment paradise. Computer technologies make the Art collection industry grow rapidly, the operation of the arts buying and selling platforms become a vital transaction machine for the public. 
 
In mainland China, in Europe, and in the Americas, similar actions are also booming at the same time. 
 
In addition to the above-mentioned banks, real estate companies which have entered the art investment market, many of their related practitioners, as well as their family members, friends and friends of family members were also participated in this rich and elegant industry part-time. How cute and adorable this industry has become, 
 
I remembered reading a piece of news in the U.S. a few years ago. A family was very sad that their house was auctioned off by the bank because of the foreclosure. They packed up everything and prepared to move. By accident, they found a comic book of their grandfather's collection in the mess. The first issue of the Batman comic book, this comic book sold in a auction for more than 200,000 US dollars, it allowing him to buy the house back again without moving. It was too surprising and thankful to his grandfather, even the grandfather was no longer there. The ancestor's mercy still takes care of the unfortunate grandson. 
 
Once again, there was a director of a certain bank I knew. His father was a government official during the Republic of China period. He kept some antique vases from the Qing Dynasty at home. One day he told me that he was very happy. Someone bought one vase from him for US$8,000. After then he called me a few months again later, saying that he saw a piece of news in an English newspaper and found that almost 90% similar to his antique vase was sold for 100 million dollars. The loss of a chance is a pity for him, he felt regretful. 
 
Now vinyl records are popular again in collectors and hobbyist markets. I remembered that when I moved my home years ago, I thought these things were old and useless, I throw them away as trash. There were also some ancient books in my father's collection, they were thrown out as trash too. Now when I think about this matter, I'm really stupid. I really regret for it. 
 
1996 was the year when our son was born. We spent more than 20,000 US dollars in installments to purchase a Ford Wind Star family van, which was convenient for me taking children and the whole family out all the time. Now more than 20 years have passed by, the car is parked in front of the garage. in the sun, in the windy and rainy days, the paint on the car was peeling off badly. My son and daughter all disliked it and wanted me to sell it or trash it. Only my wife never said anything. She knew that I was planning to save some money to renovate this very meaningful car, it drove whole family around for years. How many memorable days we have spent together, I said to myself, I will never sell this Van, I will spend money to refurbish it and make it like a new car again, then leave it to my grandson in the future to let him know how precious this car is. This car is same age as his father, and it is also a souvenir that his grandfather, which is me, wants to leave it to him. I will be in the sky as if I am with them every day. That is a meaningful thing, and my grandson will also be very happy to tell his sons that this is his ancestor's thoughtful gift. 
 
The collection of arts, the collection of beloved products, these behaviors not only carry the benefits of future appreciation, but also carries many layers of meanings. This generation spends money to collect and take care of a variety of artistic efforts, then pass on to their future generations, it is a spiritual communication in between different generation. It is the best meaning of the art collections and the collection of beloved products.
