My dad put the hot food on the table with both hands, and when he saw me pondering, he asked, "What do you want to do next?" ”

I was shocked when I heard this, this question was really a bit abrupt, I was not thinking about the next plan just now...

Seeing that I didn't answer, my father's face was a little displeased, "Do you want to hide it from me?"

"Dad, no, I haven't thought about it yet, I just want to open a cultural and antique store first. Now there are still many questions that I haven't figured out, such as where to open a store, what to do, purchase channels, customer sources and so on. It's all a problem now..."I said as I looked at my dad's face, "This store doesn't have to be big, but it must be famous in the collecting circle to have a chance to get in touch with the Zhen Group." ”

I said to myself, "This antique is roughly divided into four categories, the first is ceramics, which is a general term for pottery and porcelain, such as Longshan black pottery and painted pottery in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Tang Sancai, Song Dynasty "Ding, Ru, Guan, Ge, Jun" five famous kiln porcelain, Yuan blue and white, Ming Dynasty Longquan porcelain, such as the porcelain I bought for the first time, and Qing Dynasty colored porcelain, oh yes, purple clay pots also belong to ceramics. ”

My dad nodded slightly, motioning to continue.

"The second is calligraphy and painting, which is a collective term for calligraphy and painting. Of course, it needs to be written by a famous calligrapher in history, and there are many creations or unique styles in writing skills, so that it can be called calligraphy art. For example, Tang Bohu's beauties, Li Yuanzhang's landscapes, Liu Shi'an's fans, Zheng Banqiao's bamboo, etc., as well as modern Zhang Daqian's works. ”

I'm a little embarrassed, this ceramics and calligraphy and painting, let alone opening a store, I don't have a single one in my hand now.

"Go on. My dad looked embarrassed and said with a smile.

"Again, it's jade. This jade generally refers to ancient jade, but now jade also has many valuable ones, such as jadeite. "Speaking of which, I'm a little proud, after all, the first time I gambled on stones, I achieved remarkable results, although I cheated on the hanging.

"Finally, there are miscellaneous items, such as bamboo, wood, ivory, horn, the four treasures of the study, lacquerware, embroidery, bronze, Buddha statues, gilded objects, etc., as well as some items that cannot be accurately classified, can be regarded as miscellaneous. Dad, give me an idea, I really don't know how to choose. Looking at my dad's smile, I guessed he had an idea and threw the question at him.

"It seems that you still know a little bit about the antique industry. In the collection circle, porcelain and calligraphy and painting are more orthodox, jade, in addition to ancient jade, such as jadeite, although it has a long history, but it has only risen in recent years and entered people's field of vision. Miscellaneous, don't think about it, it's hard to make a big move. My dad said unhurriedly.

I smiled wryly, "Dad, but apart from miscellaneous, how can we have a source of goods?"

"Stinky boy, you haven't received any good things when you were Lao Tzu, do you think your Uncle Fang and Uncle Wang have treasures?" This sentence is full of tsundere, but it is enough to surprise me.

My eyes lit up, "Dad, what good things do we have!"

"Hmph, tomorrow, I'll take you to our warehouse! Eat quickly, if you don't eat again, it's going to be cold again." "My dad deliberately sold a pass, and he had a good appetite for the food.

I was interested, and I knew that the warehouse was a place where some old items were stored when I was running a scrap yard, but I was curious because my dad didn't know much about it to me before.

I got naughty, picked up a level on the table, imitated holding the microphone, and asked solemnly: "Dad, it seems that you have a bad antique!

My dad talked eloquently, "The collection and appreciation of antiques is an elegant play, a tasteful play, a cultural play, a kind of historical and nostalgic play." Antique investment belongs to the category of art investment. The scope of antiques is very wide, and the categories are very complex. From the point of view of material, there are wooden antiques, ceramic antiques, jade antiques, jewelry antiques, metal antiques, etc., and from the perspective of use value, there are classical furniture, four rooms of study, utensils, dressing ornaments, ancient coins, books and newspapers, and so on. Antiques are like an all-encompassing market, with a lot of things, a lot of things, a lot of miscellaneous, and a lot of ways to play. ”

I didn't expect that my father actually knew a lot about antiques, and it seemed that my father had studied these for a long time. I guess he also wants to avenge his mother.

I asked, "Prosperous collection, troubled gold." The country is prosperous, the people have enough food and clothing, and there is a market for antiques. The country is depressed and chaotic, the common people have no food and clothing, and no one has the leisure to engage in antiques. Did you have the same idea as I back then? Because people don't have that economic condition, they don't succeed?"

"yes, now is the time!" my dad said lightly, but choked up.

I continued: "It's a prosperous time now, but many people think that this collection is exquisite eyesight, good eyesight, Taobao leakage is a matter of course, bad eyesight, take medicine and pay tuition is also a matter of course." Indeed, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and even in the Republic of China, this industry was based on this rule, which made many newcomers to antiques turn a blind eye to the behavior of making and selling counterfeits in antique shops. Even, some connoisseurs. Buying goods is gone, ashamed of face, blamed on the lack of craftsmanship, dare not publicize, and keep it secret. Not to mention anything else, today I went to the antique city, and there are a lot of items that I can't see accurately. ”

"Yes, now there are many domestic cultural toys cost-cost fakes, and what is even more odious is that there are lackeys like the Zhen Group, who dump the things of their ancestors abroad!

"Dad, let's open a shop, and the name will be Cunzhen Pavilion! I proposed.

"This name is too superficial, and the name may reveal the intention, which will attract the attention of the Zhen Group in the future, and it will be a big deal. My dad said, then lit a cigarette, "The name of this antique shop should be a little more obscure, even mysterious, to give customers a sense of awe." ”

Speaking of which, I thought of Uncle Fang's shop name. "Dad, this Xuanji Pavilion won't be you!"

My dad smiled, "Yes, seeing the name of the store will trigger reverie, in fact, it doesn't matter how you think about it, as long as you feel mysterious." ”

I'm very helpless, it seems that this name can't be straightforward. I had a flash of inspiration, "Call, Wuwei Yaxuan." ”

My dad thought for a moment and asked, "What's the meaning?"

I laughed, "It's not interesting, it's just mysterious enough." ”

Then both father and son burst out laughing.
