Chapter 510: Poor Boss
Therefore, Zhong Wenqiu's bunch of things are actually only one or two things of value, which are pitiful.
In the end, it was Hu Yang who turned out something and told him that it was worth more than 20,000 yuan. It is a sitting statue of a monk with a blue glazed cloth bag, which belongs to ancient porcelain.
"Gao ancient porcelain, not high melamine, this everyone needs to distinguish clearly. Hu Yang said.
He guessed that there would definitely be many people who thought that Gao Gu porcelain was Gao Gu porcelain, referred to as Gao Gu porcelain, but in fact it was not.
Normally, Gao Gu porcelain is to indicate porcelain before the Qing Dynasty, but there are still different differences of opinion.
Some people believe that porcelain has all kinds of conditions for its existence in the Eastern Han Dynasty in China, and the age of porcelain should be set in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Therefore, ancient porcelain refers to all kinds of porcelain made and fired by the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang dynasties, Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, including the Eastern Han Dynasty
Some people feel that the porcelain of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties has not really reached the porcelain standard in the scientific sense, and is in the nature of semi-porcelain and half-pottery. It was not until the Sui Dynasty that real porcelain appeared. Therefore, Gaogu porcelain should not include the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, but only refer to the porcelain made and fired in the Tang and Song dynasties of the Sui and Tang dynasties.
"This piece should have been fired in the Yuan Dynasty, and it was burned a little roughly, and you can still see the part of the pottery, that is, it is not completely porcelainized.
But what about it, it's very good, it's just not burned well. Therefore, it is still a bit valuable, if the market price is about 20,000, and even the price will be reduced to 15,000, the specific situation is difficult to say. Hu Yang said.
Over the years, people have ignored the ancient porcelain, and the price has not gone up. The value of ancient porcelain lies in the fact that, first, it is old and not easy to obtain; First, the better porcelain before the Tang and Song dynasties has momentum, simple and ancient, intriguing, and the porcelain workmanship of later generations is delicate, but the charm is not as good as the ancestors.
Hu Yang thinks that everyone can pay more attention to ancient porcelain, and when you encounter excellent shape and condition, you can buy on dips.
Like the celebrity manuscripts mentioned earlier, they have not received much attention and not much hype at present, so there are still prospects for the future.
After commenting separately, everyone left the Zhong family. Teacher Ren led the way and took everyone to visit the production of purple sand ware. Father Zhong took the red envelope to find someone, any witch or the like, just get rid of that bad luck.
"This is a small workshop, but people still insist on making purple clay pots by hand, without using machines, which is very rare. Teacher Ren said.
He led everyone in, and was greeted by a middle-aged master who had a teacher-student relationship with Teacher Ren and taught him Chinese lessons from his previous teacher.
Therefore, this person has a lot of respect for Teacher Ren.
"It won't bother you to do things, will it?" asked Teacher Ren.
The middle-aged man hurriedly shook his head: "There is nothing to do, there are no orders now, and the purple clay pot is getting more and more difficult to make." What we make by hand can't be machine-made after all. The main reason is that our cost is high, and the price is expensive, and everyone still likes cheap things. ”
"What's the same? The machine is made of it, and the breathability and so on are gone. Teacher Ren said.
His students smiled wryly: "The problem is that these so-called air permeability and the like, people can't understand it! How many people really care? Can't make the brewed tea more fragrant, so in the eyes of customers, it's actually the same thing." ”
The audience in the live broadcast room felt that this middle-aged man had talked about the essence.
It's true that people don't really think that handmade things are much better, they don't realize it at all, and sometimes, they even think that the factory machines produce more smoothness, look more exemplary, and have fewer flaws.
So, how many people are willing to spend more money on more flawed handmade pieces?
Therefore, sometimes consumers cannot be blamed for not having a vision. In fact, many consumers buy a thing and never consider how good the performance of the thing is, and it feels almost fine.
For example, if a piece of clothing looks similar, it is twice as expensive as a handmade one, who would want it? Is it more comfortable to wear if it is made by hand?
"The truth is up. ”
"It makes sense, purely handmade, there are not many people who can really taste, you need to have that money, and that free time, to think about the so-called difference. ”
"That's right! Ordinary people like us, who cares if it's handmade or not!"
......
"So, it's hard for you to continue to operate?" Mr. Ren was a little sad.
These traditional craft industries have disappeared one by one, and for the older generation, it seems that the things they are familiar with are slowly disappearing, which is somewhat sentimental.
"It's hard to operate, but you still have to persevere, and it depends on how long you can hold on. Not only me, but also the entire Yixing, the purple sand industry, handmade products are gradually declining. Unless, if you are a master of pot making, you can get a random piece out, that is, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, then you don't have to worry about not being able to do it. The middle-aged man complained.
They are the most difficult, the average level, or not famous.
Because of the fame, there is no need to care about the cost and output, you can not open for three years, and open for three years.
And they are different, and the profits that can be made from a product are not high. Labor, costs, etc., should all be calculated. If you can't make money, you can only close the door.
What's more, it's hard for you to find a skilled worker right now. Young people don't like to play with you in the mud and sand, it's dirty, it's better to go to the courier, takeaway and the like.
Like him, the highest salary for workers is 6,000 a month, and the minimum is only more than 3,000.
With such a salary, young people will definitely not do it, people can go to deliver food casually, and they can earn seven or eight thousand a month, be diligent, or even more than 10,000, why do you want to mix with you?
Teacher Ren introduced poplar and others to his students, and today he came to observe how to make handmade purple clay pots.
If you can, you would even like to learn from everyone and make one yourself as a souvenir or something.
"People are broadcasting live, you don't have anything unseemly, right? If you have one, give you ten minutes to deal with it quickly. Teacher Ren said.
The audience in the live broadcast room immediately laughed, and it was really not easy to meet the teacher.
You've said that, what else can you see?
The middle-aged man smiled helplessly: "My place, as far as the eye can see, is so big, what can it be?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a purple clay pot being made not far away, which was damaged by the newly arrived students, and he suddenly looked bitter.
I saw the young worker look at him with a sad face: "Boss, I'm sorry! I broke one, I don't think I'm suitable for this." ”
The middle-aged man hurriedly trotted over and comforted: "It's okay! It's okay! Take your time, I was like this at the beginning, you are suitable, don't think too much about other things." ”
This is obviously very painful, and I have to pretend to be relaxed, for fear that this worker will run away.
Seeing this scene, the audience in the live broadcast room suddenly felt that the boss was a little pitiful, in order to retain the workers, had they done it to this extent?
"I suddenly wanted to laugh, but I just couldn't. ”
"Alas, it's hard to be a boss!"
"This boss is too undignified, isn't he?"
......
