But how can the antiques circulating in the market have such a high probability of being genuine? Therefore, in the eyes of real veterans in the antiques circle, the certificates issued by those fake experts are just pieces of paper and have no value.
Unless it is someone who knows Zhuge Yi well, the signature certificate will be of great use, and it is very difficult to ask such a real leader in the antique world to sign and prove it. Not only must the item be authentic, but it may also cost a lot of money.
The amount of money can range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
"Xiao Xue, the current explosive growth of the antique market is completely out of proportion to the public's knowledge reserve, so truly capable and qualified appraisers are still very scarce. And if you are capable and famous, if you take the initiative to offer others
For appraisal, I think there will be many, many people looking for you."
"what do you mean?"
"I just want to tell you that you can use your current reputation as a channel to purchase goods." Then, Zhuge Yi explained one of his own ideas in detail.
Xue Chen listened quietly, and soon understood what Zhuge Yi wanted to express, and gradually felt that the proposal given by the other party was very feasible.
Zhuge Yi told him that he could set up a website by himself, and then attract people from all over the country who wanted to do appraisals to log in, sign up, select genuine products that were intended to be sold through the website, and then contact and communicate with the treasure holders.
"This is something that is not easy for ordinary people to do. First of all, the person who opens the website must have a certain reputation and be recognized by many people. Secondly, he must have real skills, good eyesight, and be able to roughly distinguish an object through pictures.
True or false, you also need sufficient energy, and you have all of this."
Xue Chen seriously considered it in his mind, feeling that this might be an idea. Regardless of whether it works or not, he could definitely give it a try.
"If you run this website well, then it will be a nationwide channel. You don't need to travel all over the country, and you can have a steady stream of antiques in your pocket."
After hanging up the phone, Xue Chen clenched his fist and decided to do this. Anyway, even if it failed, it wouldn't matter. At most, it would just be a waste of time. But once it succeeds, it may be able to completely solve the big problem of channels.
To build a website, you need to find professionals. They must be very professional and work quickly to complete the website as quickly as possible.
He didn't know anyone in this field, so he saw the importance of connections. After thinking about it, he called Lu Liang, a professor at Renmin University. Not surprisingly, Lu Liang introduced a professional in this field.
On the second day, Xue Chen met with Lu Liang, and an expert in website production and maintenance introduced by Lu Liang, named Li Hao. He was a man in his thirties, wearing a bottle bottom
People with thick eyes are more introverted and reticent.
"Xiao Xue, Li Hao is one of my students. Now he works in an IT company and his income is quite high. But you know the housing prices in Beijing, so he has been making some extra money. I will give you a rough idea of what you want.
I told him about it and he said it was no problem at all and it could be completely done in two days."
"That's great." Xue Chen nodded with satisfaction. Naturally, he hoped to get it done as soon as possible. He turned to look at Li Hao, "Mr. Li, I don't know much about the Internet. I build this website.
You should have a general understanding of the purpose, so I’ll say it again.”
I told Li Hao the purpose of creating this website. Li Hao listened carefully. After I finished speaking, Li Hao pushed up his glasses and said casually: "The website you mentioned is very simple.
Basically, there is no difficulty. My two friends and I can completely solve it in two days, and we can also be responsible for subsequent vulnerability issues. Of course, I don’t think there will be any loopholes.”
"That's great." Of course I was happy to hear Li Hao say so definitely and full of confidence, "Then let's talk about remuneration."
After Li Hao thought about it, he asked for a reward of 300,000 yuan, which not only included the construction of the website, but also included all-round assistance in subsequent improvements and operations.
Xue Chen didn't think about it at all and immediately agreed. As long as this website is really good, maybe the transaction of an antique can earn back the cost.
After waiting for two days, Xue Chen and Li Hao met again. Li Hao also brought a laptop to show him the results of his creations in the past two days. The domain name of the website is directly Joyo Antiques Network.
When I opened the website, a webpage popped up that looked very simple but not shabby. The overall background of the webpage was constantly changing and was a pair of pictures, all of which were very precious antiques.
Xue Chen knew at a glance that they were taken from the Internet, and most of them were treasures hidden in major museums today.
On the left side, there is a paragraph of text that briefly introduces the purpose of establishing this website. Of course, it is not straightforward to say that it is to acquire antiques and create online channels. It is written to promote antique culture, exchange antique experiences with people, etc.
There is a registration bar on the right side. After Li Hao logs in, the page changes again.
"Now the website is divided into two parts. The biggest part is naturally a window for uploading pictures to the backend and looking for expert appraisal. Only the administrator and the people designated by the administrator can see it. The second part is a forum I established based on other forums.
, can provide registered member communication.”
I watched Li Hao operate it step by step, and it felt pretty good, at least I couldn't find any faults.
“Mr.
He said that this customer is very special.
"Overall, it's very good. I don't have any dissatisfaction, but there are some small areas that I think need to be slightly changed. I think it can be more consistent with being a website related to antiques."
Li Hao is an expert in the Internet, but he doesn't know anything about antiques. Naturally, he doesn't understand the atmosphere, so he listened carefully to Xue Chen's suggestions.
Another day passed, and after a series of improvements, the website was finally completed!
Li Hao told him that if you want to make the website popular, you must do a good job in publicity. You need to advertise in crowded places to let more people know about the website.
Xue Chen thought of Wang Dong, called him, told him about setting up an appraisal website, and then asked Wang Dong to advertise on forums he frequently visited.
Wang Dong naturally agreed, and directly logged into the largest antique-related forum in China, Shengshi Ancient and Modern Collection, and posted a post!
"Good news, good news."
The title only has these six words.
Write a few paragraphs in the text of the post: "Are you still worried that the treasure in your hand is not appreciated? Are you still angry about the deception of pseudo-experts? Do you want an accurate answer? Then
Please log in to Joyo Antiques Network, and the leak-picking king will answer your questions. What are you waiting for? Join us quickly." Below is the website link.
It has to be said that Wang Dong is well versed in some tricks on the Internet. He started to use headlines and only used six words to arouse the curiosity of many people. They clicked in one after another, and some people started to reply.
"Damn, I thought it was Fat Brother who was about to start the train, but it turned out to be an advertisement, I despise it!"
"What, a website run by the King of Leak Pickers?"
Nowadays, many large forums on the Internet have already adopted Xue Chen's nickname, the King of Picking Up Leaks, the King of Picking Up Leaks, no one can compare with him.
"Don't mention it yet, this advertisement is quite attractive. I'll go take a look."
Soon, people started clicking and registering accounts.
The bigger the forum, the more people there are at the bottom. When they saw the website introducing Leak Picker to help with the appraisal for free, they immediately became interested.
Xue Chen also held a newly bought laptop and refreshed the page every once in a while. From the background, he could see the number of registered accounts. After a whole day, there were more than a hundred people.
Just when he was about to turn off his computer and take a rest at night, he remembered the beeping sound in the background, which meant that someone had uploaded a picture to the identification window and requested identification.
He immediately sat in front of the computer and clicked on the message. It was sent by a person with the account of Wealth Star Gaozhao. He uploaded eight high-definition pictures and added a paragraph of text at the end.
"Mr. Wang, please take a look at it for me. How about my paperweight?"
Xue Chen clicked on the high-definition pictures and looked at them one by one. Of course, making an identification through a computer is far less accurate and convenient than holding it in your hand and observing it before making a conclusion, but it is not impossible at all. You can do the shape of the device, the patina, and the color.
Make a rough inference from other aspects.
After looking at eight pictures, he replied: "This paperweight is in the shape of a unicorned animal, lying in a prone position, with its legs bent inwards. Looking back, it has a rosewood base. The animal's body is decorated with scales and armor.
The colorful scales decorated with dark and light blue glazes are well-proportioned and neatly arranged. The extensive gilding process on the animal's body is enough to prove that this is a fine piece of mid-Qing Dynasty and a very good cloisonné exotic.
Beast Paperweight.”
"The price I am willing to buy is RMB 650,000."
After replying to this message, Xue Chen shut down the computer and took a rest. When he turned on the computer again and logged in to the backend the next day, he saw that there were already 500 registered members, and there were also people speaking and discussing in the forum section.
Of course, what concerned him the most was whether the person named Cai Xing Gao Zhao from yesterday had replied. What was most important was to click on it and see if there was a reply.
"Sorry, I have no intention of selling it yet. Thank you Mr. Wang for your detailed answer."
Xue Chen felt a little disappointed, but still replied that it didn't matter and shut down the computer.
After a while, Fortune Star Gao Zhao spoke in the forum section of the website, talked about the appraisal, and gave him high praise.
At night, Xue Chen turned on the computer again and saw that there were more than ten messages asking him for identification. (To be continued)
