Han Peacock knows that there are many idle people in this country who are looking for trouble and will do many weird things.●⌒,
For example, if they damage the environment here, there will definitely be protests. For example, some time ago, dozens of people came to protest with banners.
Some people protested against the construction of dams by Han Peacock's company, which destroyed some swamps here. Others protested against Han Peacock's archaeological excavations, which destroyed the dinosaur fossils here.
Some people even protested that Korean peacocks destroyed the habitat of bullfrogs and exterminated the swamp bullfrogs here.
Of course, this is not the strangest thing. There are also animal protection organizations protesting against the Korean peacocks' wanton killing of fish.
Han Kongque could tolerate other protests, but this one was too ridiculous. In the end, it was so disturbing that Han Kongque directly resorted to a big move to recruit workers on a large scale.
The lover is paid to do the work, and the company does it, not as a temporary worker, but as a recruiter into the company.
These recruited personnel are all formal employees and receive an annual salary of any kind.
Although most people's annual salary is only tens of thousands of dollars, such opportunities are not always available.
The most important thing is that the threshold for employees recruited by Han Peacock is very low, because now they are mainly coolies like digging workers. In the future, they will be maintenance workers, repair workers, and even planting workers.
Therefore, Han Peacock has no pressure at all to recruit such a group of idle vagrants who will protest whenever they have nothing to do.
Without this group of people who have nothing to do, there are others who really like to protest and march. Without people to boo, there will be no trouble.
Han Peacock took a very serious look at the plan that Old Sam brought, including pastures, farms, forest farms, animal and plant reserves, wild medicinal breeding areas, museum areas, commercial areas, residential areas, research institutes, and even factories and office buildings.
"I can still understand the business district. It's okay to build a factory here. What's going on with the office building?" Han Kongque asked after reading it.
"Maybe someone is willing to open a company here in the future. If no one comes, then we can use it outside. Didn't the boss see that the business atmosphere here is very strong?" Old Sam smiled with a wrinkled face.
Han Kongque took a look at the messy construction site, and he really couldn't see any commercial atmosphere.
"You can't look here. You have to get out of our restricted area. There are fossils everywhere here. How can we let those small traders in? The boss must not have thought that a flea market has spontaneously formed outside us." Old Sam said cheerfully.
"Flea market?" Han Peacock was really stunned. You must know that in the United States, flea markets are just like domestic antique markets.
People who collect in the United States usually hunt for treasures at flea markets. Because the United States has a short history, it is difficult to find antiques that are hundreds or thousands of years old like those in China.
"If the boss doesn't believe it, you can go and take a look. There are many people with fossils in their stalls now, and they all say they were found by us and leaked out." Old Sam said.
"Really? A spontaneous market was formed so easily?" Han Kongque did not expect that a market could be formed in such a sparsely populated place.
Old Sam said: "We have attracted a lot of people here. Those speculators will naturally bring their treasures to search for treasures."
Han Peacock really knows how Americans collect. He made a point of understanding it before coming here. After all, he has the habit of shopping for treasures. If he has nothing to do, going to the antique market is definitely a good pastime.
However, this area is sparsely populated and there is no antique market at all. If you want to hunt for treasures, you can only go to big cities.
When Americans collect, unlike in China, their first choice is often art, mainly for investment.
But now, despite the continuous publicity that art works are safe assets, it is very unreliable to regard investment as the purpose of collection. Many people do it because art can provide dividends or earn interest. They expect to earn a
Get rid of the money immediately after writing, as doing so can easily lead to losses.
There are also many people who simply buy things they like, rather than fashionable items that symbolize social status.
There are also some wealthy people who collect some art by visiting galleries and studying auctions. The biggest difference from domestic collections is that Americans prefer works by contemporary artists.
Contemporary art galleries are an important way to introduce emerging artists. Once these artists become famous, their works will only appear at auctions. Therefore, Americans believe that frequent visits to galleries are a good way to discover new artistic talents.
Of course, there are still many Americans who think it is exciting to buy art at auctions, and art lovers compete to win their favorites by bidding.
After being piqued by Old Sam, Han Peacock walked out of the restricted area and wanted to see what the market was like.
When walking into a noisy area, what Han Peacock saw was indeed different from the domestic antique market.
The most abundant things here are some animal bones, of course, these are so-called fossils, and some stone balls, which may be dinosaur egg fossils.
There were other messy things, but the most eye-opening thing for Han Kongque was the paintings and calligraphy found in the antique market.
There are some paintings and calligraphy works that even Han Peacock can't tell what they are, but many tourists who come here are very interested in them. Of the almost ten tourists passing by, at least seven or eight will ask about the price, and two or three will check carefully.
After the appraisal, bargain carefully with the stall owner. Regardless of whether the transaction is successful or not, these people are all buyers with the desire to buy.
Although Han Kongque knew that in the United States, works on paper were usually the only way for novices to start, he really did not expect that some printed works in the United States could be sold as antiques, and some things that were obviously modern calligraphy and painting were also sold.
It will be popular among tourists.
In China, novices generally dare not touch calligraphy and painting works, because it is easy to get noticed.
But in the United States, buying limited edition prints is a way to own your favorite famous artists at reasonable prices.
There were a lot of printed matter, books, and paintings on one stall, as well as some old photos and game dolls. Han Peacock noticed that his voice was the best, so he stayed here for a while.
Don't tell me, after taking a closer look, Han Peacock actually found a painting that might be a good thing.
After just a few glances, Han Kongque recognized that it was a work by Sonia Delaunay and asked the boss. The price was not expensive, only two hundred dollars.
Han Peacock didn’t know whether the stall owner knew who Sonia Delaunay was, but he knew that regardless of the authenticity of the painting, two hundred dollars was not expensive, so Han Peacock did not hesitate.
So I bought it.
Although he did not understand foreign calligraphy and painting, Han Kongque remembered that at Christie's Paris auction, a print of an abstract work by the French-Ukrainian cubist artist Sonia Delaunay was auctioned between 1969 and 1971.
between 500 and 2,000 euros.
At Christie's "Impressionist and Modern Works on Paper" auction held in London, Delaunay's 1966 gouache work "Paris, Melody of Color" was estimated at 20,000 to 30,000 pounds, and finally sold for 39,650 pounds (equivalent to 63,044 U.S. dollars)
).
Therefore, Han Peacock did not conduct a careful appraisal and confirmed that the author's name was Sonia Delaunay, so he bought it without caring whether it was genuine or not.
It was only two hundred dollars, even if it was eye-catching, it was not much, and if it was genuine, its value would not be very high, so Han Peacock put it away and continued to wander around the grass.
Collecting is a fun thing to do, but then many of the things that appeared on the stalls turned into photos, or photography works.
Korean Peacock was really not familiar with this kind of foreign antiques, so he found it very boring.
Although Korean peacocks are not very interested, many Americans like them very much.
This is very popular in the United States, and many novices who are new to collecting regard collecting photographic art works as a stepping stone.
Han Kongque knew that some famous photographic works of art can easily cost millions of dollars. Some photographers' works are also very beautiful and shocking, but the prices are relatively reasonable.
But Han Peacock really didn't understand this, so he just took a look at it.
Although he didn't understand many things, visiting antique markets was Han Kongque's hobby, so even if he didn't understand many things, why were these people using them as antiques, Han Kongque didn't turn around and leave.
This is the habit and pleasure of collectors. Only by reading more and listening more can you sharpen your eyesight and pick up treasures.
Of course, people sometimes get scammed, and the experience of shopping for treasures in antique markets in different regions is different.
Tapping for treasures in foreign antique markets is really unique. This time, Han Peacock experienced the feeling of searching for treasures in American antique markets.
After walking around for a while, Han Peacock felt more deeply that the things on the street stalls in the United States are really different from those in China. Of course, the biggest similarity is that here there is also a mixed bag of good and bad, and there are many fakes.
But you can also pick up the missing items, which is very similar to the domestic antique market, except for one thing that is very different, and that is Americans’ understanding of antiques.
Americans believe that any meaningful antiquities can become antiques, so there are many people selling their own used goods on street stalls. Cameras, radios and various small appliances from decades ago are among them, giving it a somewhat free market feel.
, very kind.
After wandering around for a while, Han Peacock met collectors who like all kinds of strange things. For example, the American boy Han Peacock saw just now liked to collect cans of various drinks.
Moreover, this young boy really found a lot of rare cans here. Looking at his happy face from ear to ear, everyone can see his joy in buying treasures.
"Eh? I seem to have seen this photo somewhere?" Just when Han Peacock was looking at it strangely, an old photo on a stall caught Han Peacock's attention. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users please visit
