Zhou Hong was a good cook, and Zhou Bozhai was so excited that he cooked two dishes himself. The three of them sat on the rooftop of Qifangzhai, having a great time, really like a family.
At a glance, the Antique Street is in front of you. Every afternoon is the busiest time in the Antique Street. People shopping in the Antique Street start to come in at this time. In the evening, the flow of people is the highest. Of course, most of the antique shops are on both sides of the Antique Street.
Ancient jades, dishes, vases, incense burners, ivory carvings, pottery, purple sand, calligraphy and paintings...the dazzling array attracts an endless stream of players to hunt for treasures every day and appraise them. Naturally, there is a mixture of good and bad, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
This street was not unfamiliar to Luo Tian. He used to come here often to pick up things, but he was penniless at that time. Many times he only took a few cautious glances outside Qifangzhai, but did not have the guts to open the door and go in.
Not many days later, I was sitting on the rooftop of Qifangzhai drinking and chatting with the boss of Qifangzhai. As long as I wanted to, Qifangzhai became my own. This life experience can only be described as wonderful.
"This antique street has a history of more than ten years, and we at Qifangzhai have been here for twelve years. From the opening to the present, people have missed it every day, and players have successfully "picked up" (bought genuine goods cheaply)
) and the frustration of "making a mistake" (buying a fake at a high price) happen every day. We have seen more, and we have calmed down." Zhou Bozhai raised his glass: "Here, let's touch one."
The wine glass made a crisp sound, Luo Tian drank it down, and continued: "I have bought a lot of goods in the antique street before, but there were few real goods and many fake ones. As time goes by, I also know that there are many goods here.
Everything is old, most of the porcelain is shipped from Jiangxi and Fujian, and most of the pottery, jade, bronze, etc. come from the Central Plains areas with deep history such as Henan, Hebei, and Shaanxi in the north. Due to the frequent unearthed cultural relics, the creation of
There are many "templates" of cultural relics that can be imitated. When these handicrafts change hands several times, they become "old goods". These areas have a long history of counterfeiting, have many practitioners, are skilled in "techniques", and can mass-produce
In production, fake things can often be mistaken for real things, and even experts are often fooled.”
"Haha, it seems that you know our antique street very well. In fact, it is not just our street, but all the antique markets across the country are like this."
Zhou Bozhai put down his wine glass and pointed to the back side of the antique street: "Look there, almost every day there are people using potassium permanganate and acid to remove the color from the brightly glazed porcelain, which makes it look old. As long as you walk in,
You can smell the pungent smell, and I am not afraid to tell you that in order to keep Qifangzhai alive, I did something like this in my early years. I put on gloves, repaired and aged the old things, and cleaned the old things I collected every day.
Busy as hell."
Zhou Hong interjected: "The fake production process begins with mass production, and after post-processing such as distressing, they continuously supply these "supplies" to all parts of the country. Most of them go to the lowest-end markets, including antique stores.
Antique cities, street stalls and flea markets, while the secondary market in the middle is registered art brokerage companies and cultural relics stores; the most high-end market is the auctions of cultural relics of all sizes."
"Cultural relics auction?" Luo Tian suddenly thought of Chen Fei. Didn't Chen Fei just issue an appraisal certificate for the fake? If no one discovered it, the fake would have entered the auction process in a grand manner.
Sure enough, the operation of the auction company has a long way to go.
"But can this really survive for a long time? If it's fake, it's fake." Luo Tian asked.
"Hahaha..." Zhou Bozhai couldn't help but laugh: "Young man, you are still too young. There are always people coming in and out of this circle. Why? Because of interests. When interests arise, people will join in. Recently, people will join in.
In the past few years, the domestic collection craze has continued to heat up, and antiques will only become more popular."
"It seems that the antiques industry is indeed a gold industry."
"So I asked you to take me as Qifangzhai, why not?"
After talking so much, he finally turned back and the chopsticks in Luo Tian's hand stopped: "Thank you uncle for your love, but my current situation is a bit special."
Sure enough, Zhou Hong's face darkened immediately as he thought. If he didn't want to take over Qifangzhai, it was the same as not taking over himself. In the eyes of men, these two are two different things. In women's minds, these two things can be regarded as equals.
Number.
"Special?" Zhou Bozhai was also a little unhappy. He had lost face and offered it as a gift, and Luo Tian was too embarrassed to give it to him.
"Yes, Zhou Hong and I are in the same company, but you may not have heard about it because it was not announced. Not long ago, I joined Xie's Auction Company." Luo Tian added: "I won it by gambling on stones.
Qian Qian became one of the owners of the auction company, and I have not disclosed it to the company for the time being, mainly because I am worried that people will be dissatisfied with my qualifications."
"When did this happen?" Zhou Hong was really surprised. Apart from buying a house, this was the biggest surprise. This bullish stock had almost reached the sky.
"About a week ago, before buying a house." Luo Tian said sincerely: "So I'm really worried that I can't do two things at once. However, if Qifangzhai needs it one day, I will shoulder my responsibility!!"
"Okay, you have this heart, I believe you!! You have to remember what you said today!!"
