Seven hundred and eleventh - seven hundred and twelve chapters platform
Chapter 711-712 Platform
Although the National Tourism Administration is directly responsible for tourist attractions at all levels in the country, due to the particularity of some attractions, they also have some connections with the cultural department.
The relationship between travel agencies and various scenic spots is very close, so after a leader with a low official position in Sijiu City but with real power spoke, Zhuang Rui's museum became one of the major travel agencies' tourist itineraries.
A very important link.
After returning to the museum after lunch, the parking lot next to the museum was already full of various tourist buses. At the entrance of the museum, there were tour guides holding small flags and tourists wearing various travel agency hats.
The museum security staff with walkie-talkies hanging in their ears were checking the beautifully printed tickets and counting the number of tourists entering the museum. Everything seemed so orderly.
Now the gate of the museum has been closed by an electronic fence. Only two people can pass through at a time to facilitate the security personnel to check tickets. Zhuang Rui and others entered from another side of the museum and can directly reach the conference room.
"Brother, I won't join in the fun anymore. Let's contact you later. I will stay in *** for a few more days..."
After getting off the car, while going to the conference room, Fatty Ma squeezed in beside Zhuang Rui. Zhuang Rui was so busy today that even a very close friend like Fatty Ma didn't have time to say hello.
Zhuang Rui looked at Fatty Ma, who was sweating profusely, and said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Ma, I'm so sorry. I'll treat you to dinner when you have time later..."
I heard that the opening of my museum lacked some miscellaneous antiques, so my brother used his car to bring hundreds of Shanxi lacquerware, from the Han and Tang dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Philippines.
According to the physical evidence of archaeological excavations, the earliest period of the emergence of lacquerware can be traced back to the Neolithic period. During the Shang, Zhou, Han and Tang dynasties, although lacquerware was also used in daily life, it was mostly used for decoration.
It was not until the late Tang, Ming and Qing dynasties that porcelain developed rapidly and replaced the decorative function of lacquerware. Lacquerware became more of a practical tool for families or the palace.
According to Zhuang Rui's estimate, the value of these lacquerware is probably more than 30 million.
Thirty million may be nothing to Zhuang Rui and Fatty Ma now, but Zhuang Rui owes this favor, because even if Zhuang Rui holds 30 million in cash, he probably won't be able to receive these items.
.
Because of this batch of lacquerware, Zhuang Rui plans to divide the miscellaneous museum into several smaller exhibition halls, such as the jade exhibition hall and the lacquerware exhibition hall. Perhaps in the future, he will open other exhibitions based on a certain category of collections.
Pavilion.
The display cabinet ordering for the Lacquer Ware Exhibition Hall is now in progress. I believe it won’t be long before the lacquerware that once dominated the limelight in history will appear in front of tourists.
"Forget it about eating, I can just take my brother to Myanmar when I have time, haha..."
Fatty Ma patted Zhuang Rui on the shoulder, and then said: "Brother, I have relied on these eyes for my whole life. I have seen so many people, but I can't see through you, so do your best..."
Just over a year ago, when Fatty Ma met Zhuang Rui, Zhuang Rui only had a net worth of two to three million, and could barely be considered a wealthy man. However, now, in terms of wealth, Zhuang Rui is already on an equal footing with Fatty Ma.
.
Fatty Ma got to where he is today, but he suffered a lot and took many detours. After more than 20 years of struggle, he got his current net worth. Zhuang Rui had all this in less than a short time.
In two years, Fatty Ma, who is in his forties and in his prime, feels a bit like an old man.
Seeing Fatty Ma's fat body disappear at the door, Zhuang Rui also felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Didn't he get everything he has now by relying on these eyes?
"Teacher Zhuang, why don't you go in..."
"Teacher Zhuang, I have a few gadgets on hand. Let's talk about it when we have time?"
"Brother Zhuang, are you interested in sharing some of the collections in your museum?"
Zhuang Rui didn't have time to reminisce about the past and present. As soon as he was distracted, people kept saying hello to him. Of course, the topic still couldn't be separated from the antique business.
"Okay, okay, we'll contact you later..."
"Hey...Mr. Liu, please stop thinking about my stuff. The objects in my exhibition hall can only be taken out and cannot be taken in..."
Zhuang Rui casually chatted with everyone. These people are likely to become his customers. It is very necessary to maintain a good relationship with these Tibetan friends and experts from all over the country.
The most important thing in the antique shop is communication. Some people exchange collections for hobbies, but more people exchange collections simply to make money and regard this as a means of making a living. And the whole country relies on people in this industry to make a living.
Not a few.
Friends, don’t think that if you have a good item, it will definitely sell for a good price. The sale of an antique is affected by many factors, such as the publicity of the auction house, the intensity of market speculation, and the purchaser’s consumption.
Ability etc.
Moreover, auction houses also select objects for auction, and not everything can be put up for auction. For example, transactions such as bronzes must generally be conducted in private.
Therefore, even if many people have good stuff, they keep it in their hands and are unwilling to sell it for the various reasons mentioned above, just to find a suitable buyer.
There is no doubt about the economic strength of this museum. Zhuang Rui has shown his desire to buy antiques on different occasions. Therefore, many collectors have expressed to Zhuang Rui that they want to go further.
The meaning of communication.
While being polite to everyone, I walked into the conference room of the museum. The huge conference room was packed with people. It can be said that this is a grand event in the antique world.
Although Mr. Ma’s museum operates a membership system, it usually only organizes a small gathering of thirty or fifty people. A nationwide gathering like today is probably only possible when the country is conducting some reform discussions.
Many people.
"Dear gentlemen, ladies, and friends, on behalf of Dingguang Museum and Mr. Zhuang, I would like to thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend the opening ceremony of Dingguang Museum..."
The meeting was chaired by Huangfu Yun. Deputy Director Huangfu used his eloquence as a lawyer. After saying some useless words, Huangfu Yun continued: "Today, all our colleagues are gathered together. In addition to exchanges**
*In addition to experience and experience, our village manager has a suggestion, which is to open a membership-based *** website, and everyone here will become a member of this website..."
"Director Huangfu, what is this membership? What's the use of joining?"
"Yeah, I'm an old man who hasn't been online yet..."
"You can't see the real thing online, so it doesn't mean much..."
After hearing Huangfu Yun's next words, there was a lot of discussion in the venue. To be honest, although we talk about advancing with the times now, in 2005, few of these people who played with porn really knew what the Internet was.
Those who surf, spend their time wandering around the antique market.
Some people didn’t understand, and some didn’t agree with it, but there were also people whose faces turned ugly. For example, Mr. Ma’s museum uses a membership system. He didn’t know whether the website’s membership system would have an impact on him, so he coughed.
, took a microphone in front of the round table where he was sitting, and said: "Everyone, be quiet and listen to Director Huangfu first..."
Mr. Ma is still very influential in the antique world. Almost a quarter of the people present are members of his museum and pay membership fees to him every year. So as soon as Mr. Ma finished speaking, the place slowly changed.
Gotta be a little quieter.
"Ahem, let me explain..."
Zhuang Rui saw that Huangfu Yun was losing control of the situation, so he took his microphone and said: "This website is my idea. We come from all over the world, so it is difficult to get together to communicate like this often...
But the Internet is different. No matter where you are, everyone can exchange experiences and gains and losses online. You can also take photos of the items you want to sell and hang them up. If you want to buy something, you can also leave purchase information on the website.
…
With this platform, everyone can view and trade goods privately according to their own needs. As the saying goes: One person is short-changed and everyone is aware of the shortcomings. I believe that among the collections of hundreds of colleagues in the industry, there will always be something that everyone likes and needs.
Isn’t it better to share things with each other in this way than we can only go to auction houses and antique markets to look for items?”
Seeing the thoughtful expressions on everyone's faces, Zhuang Rui paused for a moment, took a sip of water, and then said: "Of course, our website is only used for information exchange between collections...
As for the authenticity of the collection and subsequent transactions, the website is not involved, and you still need to identify it privately. I think that with Teacher Ma’s identification team here, this problem should not be difficult to solve..."
Zhuang Rui's words made Mr. Ma, who was originally looking a little ugly, frown. You must know that Mr. Ma's members mainly participated for the benefit of being able to help him identify antiques.
The meaning of Zhuang Rui's words is very obvious. The website is only used for information exchange and does not care about appraisal. In other words, it not only does not conflict with his business, but also has a great complementary effect.
"Xiaozhuang's suggestion is good. Everyone here is an experienced Tibetan friend and expert. The objects brought out must not be too fake. There is a lot of room for communication (trading). It is not the same as those on today's *** websites.
Than……"
Mr. Ma's next words made everyone's hearts light up. Even though there were only a few hundred people here, these few hundred people were all well-known people in the pornographic world, and they had a lot of good things in their hands.
Usually, due to geographical differences, it is likely that everyone communicates and trades in their own or surrounding cities, so the communication area becomes very narrow.
But with the website Zhuang Rui mentioned, everyone can see what everyone wants to sell or buy, and the options available will become much larger.
After everyone in the audience digested Mr. Ma's words for a while, Zhuang Rui continued: "Mr. Ma is right, and our circle is not open to the public. Only you can enter the website through your own exclusive *** account, so
This prevents some people with bad intentions from uploading fake things for malicious transactions...
In addition, I also want to make it clear that although playing with antiques may be eye-catching, if anyone attempts to maliciously trade fake antiques multiple times through identification, his membership will be canceled..."
"Teacher Zhuang, how can we identify someone who is trading maliciously?"
"Yeah, it's normal to make mistakes. You can't just say it's malicious if it happens a few times, right?"
“That’s right, even teachers, I’m afraid you can’t guarantee that you’ll buy genuine items every time, right?”
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, there was an uproar in the venue and there was a lot of discussion. However, what Zhuang Rui said was to protect the interests of everyone. There were not many people who raised objections. The few people who spoke were those who often took action in the industry.
Antiques, as Zhuang Rui just said, have the greatest impact on them.
Moreover, everyone is a well-known person in this circle. If every time the things they bring out are verified to be fake, I am afraid that no one can afford to embarrass this person. There will probably be no need to expel them, and they will be too embarrassed to hang out anymore.
"Everyone, I haven't finished speaking yet. I think so. We have jointly selected 9 people with good reputation in the antique circle to form an expert evaluation group.
The appraisal results before each transaction, if the object is fake, must be reported to this appraisal team. Nine experts will conduct a comprehensive appraisal of the object and use an anonymous method to evaluate whether it is malicious.
trade.
I think the experts selected by everyone should be able to represent most of us..."
Zhuang Rui's words made everyone think deeply. He was right. It was understandable that he failed once or twice, but repeatedly bringing out fake things for transactions would make people doubt the original intention of the trader.
The expert evaluation method is also good. It is anonymous and no one knows which person voted for which one. In this way, the experts will not offend anyone, which is relatively fair.
"Xiao Zhuang, I think your method is good, but my old man doesn't know how to use a computer. What should I do?"
After everyone thought about it for a while, a voice suddenly came from the venue. The man who spoke was in his sixties, a boss from Shaanxi, surnamed Lei, who became a monk and played antiques.
However, Boss Lei is a shrewd person with a sharp eye. He buys more genuine items than fake ones, which is much better than Yang Wei's father, and he is well-known in the circle.
"Boss Lei, don't you just ask your grandson to teach you? It's very simple. Your business is so big, you can't even learn how to surf the Internet, right?"
A person who was familiar with Boss Lei shouted loudly, causing a burst of laughter in the venue.
To be honest, if Zhuang Rui's website really has the effect he said, everyone can solve the problem of surfing the Internet. Even if I don't know it, my relatives, friends and juniors around me will understand.
After the venue became a little quieter, Zhuang Rui said: "My proposal is just to make communication more convenient for everyone. It is completely free. If everyone agrees, we can now select the evaluation team."
Experts, if anyone doesn’t want to participate, you can withdraw in reality, let’s all vote by a show of hands..."
Everyone has their own ideas, and there may be some people who are not willing to join in the fun. Even Zhuang Rui has a lot of selfish motives when he runs this website.
Zhuang Rui’s positioning of the Dingguang Museum is: in the next 10 years, it must become the No. 1 private museum in terms of both the number of collections and the quality of its collections.
Judging from Zhuang Rui's current investments, jade mines and real estate will have the largest output in the next few years, and he will have at least more than 1 billion in funds in his hands.
If you only buy antiques through the auction house, it may not necessarily suit your needs, so Zhuang Rui came up with this method after discussing with Huangfu Yun.
Through the *** website platform, Zhuang Rui can send out his own purchase information. Similarly, after seeing items that others are interested in selling, he can also buy them as soon as possible.
As for authenticity, it will never escape Zhuang Rui's detection, because the final transaction still requires viewing and payment offline.
"I attended……"
"I will also participate..."
"This is a good thing, everyone should participate..."
After Zhuang Rui finished speaking, everyone in the venue raised their hands. Even if there were people who were unwilling to participate, they would not show it on such occasions. At most, they would just not go online in the future.
"Okay, then let's nominate the experts of the evaluation team that you think most highly. Each person will have a ballot below. You just need to write down the name of the person you want to be the expert of the evaluation team. We will make it public in a moment*
**, guarantee to be fair, fair and open, and never cheat..."
Zhuang Rui's last words made everyone laugh. Not counting virtual things on the Internet, if you want to say which physical objects are pirated the most in China, they are definitely antiques. There are thousands of them in the antique market in every city.
Are all the objects real?
According to prior arrangements, staff from more than 10 museums delivered a piece of paper-sized *** to everyone.
Zhuang Rui's idea came quite suddenly. Except for Huangfu Yun, he had not communicated with anyone in the venue beforehand. Therefore, even if these people wanted to join forces to jointly recommend an expert, it would be impossible. There would be three or five at most.
If you have good relationships with people, discuss it on a small scale.
About half an hour later, the ballots that had just been distributed were put into several transparent glass boxes prepared in advance and brought to the front of the conference room.
After collecting the ballots, Zhuang Rui said: "I think we will trouble Teacher Ma, Teacher Jin, Professor Meng, and Uncle De to supervise the counting of votes..."
The people Zhuang Rui mentioned were top figures in the domestic political and academic circles. No one in the venue had any objections. Several people stood next to the glass box and supervised the staff as they opened the box and read the tickets.
One staff member read the names, while the other wrote the names on the blackboard and used the word "正" to count the number of votes. Although Zhuang Rui's preparation was a little hasty this time, it looked similar and everyone felt that it was the same.
Very novel.
"Ma xx, one vote..."
"Meng xx, one vote..."
"Yang x, one vote..."
"Zhuang x, one vote..."
Following the words of the staff who read the tickets, names were written on the blackboard one by one. The ones most familiar to everyone were Mr. Ma, Professor Meng, Zhuang Rui, Uncle De and several other people who often appeared on domestic TV magazines.
.
There were more than 300 people present, and the reading of votes went very quickly. It only took more than half an hour, and the nine top vote-getters were already counted.
I don’t know if Zhuang Rui got the most votes because of playing at home.
In addition, people like Mr. Ma, Uncle De, Fatty Jin and others were also selected as members of the expert evaluation team. It can be said that these nine people include experts from various categories in the antiques industry, including Professor Meng, a leading figure in the archaeological field, etc.
, this result still makes everyone very satisfied.
Next, everyone discussed some specific details, such as the channels for applying for assessment, etc., and all were resolved one by one.
Time passed very quickly, and it was evening in a blink of an eye. Some people were going back to the hotel, preparing to come back tomorrow to take a closer look at the museum's collections, while some people had to catch a flight. Zhuang Rui arranged for someone to call a taxi and send all the guests off.
After returning home, the museum opening and peer gathering were concluded successfully.
But there are still many things to do next, such as building the website and communicating with everyone, but Zhuang Rui was very irresponsible and handed these things over to Wei Ming, the boss of the real estate company, to solve them. Now the property is for sale
That's almost it. I have to find something for the employees there to do.
"Damn, it's finally okay..."
After seeing off the last guest, Zhuang Rui stood at the door of his museum, which was closed but still brightly lit, feeling so tired that he wanted to sit down on the ground.
Although Reiki can relieve fatigue, my spirit has been tense that day. He has to take care of all the big and small things, and my brain is so chaotic that it is about to explode.
Huangfu Yun was in good spirits. He had long been accustomed to such intense work. He pulled Zhuang Rui and said, "Is everything okay? It's early. Let's go and find a place to eat first. I'll
Call Mr. Yun, I will report today’s account to you..."
The Mr. Yun that Huangfu Yun is talking about is called Yun Man. He is thirty-one years old and is the financial director of Qin Ruilin Jewelry Store. After Zhuang Rui took over Xuan Ruizhai, he has been asking her to supervise the finances of both parties. Now he has added
Museum work.
Yun Man is from Hong Kong. I don't know if it is because of her high vision, but she has never been married. However, Zhuang Rui found that after Huangfu Yun came into contact with her, there seemed to be some sparks between the two of them, at least they just came to ***
When I had nothing to do, I called Huangfu Yun, Zhuang Rui, who asked him to go to the bar. This period of time was very peaceful.
"Okay, let's get in the car..."
Zhuang Rui also wants to know how much money he can make on his first day of business. If he doesn't do anything this month, he will have to spend more than one million yuan.
Although Zhuang Rui has a lot of money, he can't breathe all day long and pay for it from his own pocket. If you want the museum to develop healthily, you still have to balance the balance of payments.
