Chapter 0624 - Suddenly
This was originally a story of "I give advice and you are obedient", but in the current situation, it is obviously beyond the expectations of Bai Mingzheng and Tian Weisheng. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Bai Mingzheng subconsciously glanced at Tan Wenzong, who was sitting on the side and didn't speak much.
When Lin Haiwen hadn't arrived just now, he and Tan Wenzong had a slight argument on this issue. He believes that with the theme of the Porcelain Master Porcelain Association, promoting the visibility and popularity of the master porcelain in the market is conducive to expanding the market of the master porcelain and ensuring that the industry gets more development. But Tan Wenzong disagreed, he believed that the current problem was that a backward production system could not adapt to the current new society.
A porcelain master, with a few apprentices, runs a workshop, contacts a few old customers, and the business goes on for a long time, if the old customers are gone one day, then the workshop can go out of business. In addition, master porcelain is also becoming more and more like a handicraft, and the function of practical ware is almost lost.
For example, in the porcelain master porcelain association, more than 80% of dozens of masters are only porcelain carvings, Guanyin, Maitreya, bonsai and so on. What do the remaining 20% do? The main ones are no different from the previous 80%, except that they are still making some practical utensils - such as vases for rich families, such as tableware for state banquets, and so on.
In Tan Wenzong's view, this is self-seeking and short-sighted.
When he told Lin Haven, Lin Haven also agreed, but the problem is not to blame anyone, there is a reason, the competition of bone china is the first one, followed by the cost of high-end ceramics is very expensive, workshop-style production, high requirements for skills, the cost is not expensive, and then there is the art bubble - since Zhang Songmao's modern porcelain vase can be sold for 1 million, then other masters are modest, 7, 80,000, it's not too much, right? Then maybe a plate that was originally in normal business, only a few thousand yuan, and finally sold for tens of thousands, it seems that the porcelain maker made a lot of money, but it hurt the whole industry - are you worth this money? You dare to shout? How much is a fool?
In the end, it led to a problem, a master of Zhang Songmao's level has both fame and fortune, and the second-level one has also made a lot of money - these two groups of people, it is estimated that there will be no more than 100 people in the whole country. What about the rest? Either they are struggling or they have changed careers - and those who are interested in ceramics, but are not willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy a set of tableware, on the one hand, they can't afford to buy the works of the first 100 people, and on the other hand, they are not willing to spend less money to buy the works of "not enough masters", and finally have to give up.
It is equivalent to the Chinese porcelain that once dominated the world, and there are only more than 100 people who can talk about works of art.
Then if you don't die, who will die?
"Mr. Lin's business skills are obvious to all, please say. After Tian Weisheng was politely rejected by Lin Haiwen, he was not particularly angry, but he was still quite personable.
On the contrary, it was Bai Mingzheng, who was repeatedly folded three times today, and his face was already unhappy.
Lin Haven didn't care about him: "I don't know if you have heard of the Jade Market?"
"Jade?" Tian Weisheng's eyes lit up: "Lin Dong likes jadeite, I also like it very much, look, the green glass species, the things of the old pit of Pakang are rare now." I got it from a boss. β
Tian Weisheng wore a huge green jade ring on his ring finger.
"Look, how's it going?"
"Yo, it's beautiful to look at, but I'm not proficient in this, Mr. Tan is doing an appraisal, why don't you let him see it?"
Tian Weisheng seems to be quite satisfied with his ring, and he also has true love for jadeite, so he really moved it over and let Tan Wenzong show it. Tan Wenzong studied porcelain, and although he may not know anything about jade jewelry, he certainly can't give accurate identification results.
Seeing Boss Tian coming over, he hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that he didn't understand much, and said that if Boss Tian was interested, he might as well go to the Imperial City Museum next time to find him, and he asked him to study this.
Lao Tianle's teeth are gone, although he is rich, but this is a matter of face.
I got hooked up with the experts at the Imperial City Museum β and it was so natural that Lin Haven was able to get on the hook. In his circle, he has a lot of face. He planned to make an appointment with Tan Wenzong, don't go out and everyone forgets, it will be embarrassing.
"That, Tanβ"
"Okay, Boss Tian, don't mess with your ring, okay? Listen to Mr. Lin tell me about the matter first, and when we leave, you can do whatever you want, okay? The big guy is waiting for you alone, and he will talk endlessly. Bai Mingzheng couldn't bear it anymore.
Lin Haven waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind.
Tian Weisheng's face was ugly, but he sat back. Bai Mingzheng opened his mouth in a breath, and he didn't know who it was directed at:
"I'm a straight-tempered person, ah, today's meeting, originally said that a few old friends sat together, I also don't understand, Boss Tian's bone china business is so big, what is it with us who play ceramics? No matter how good bone china is, is that our ancestors' things? Is that our own invention? What is there to be proud of? It's not nice to say, bone china can be mixed to this day, and our ceramics are forced to be unable to get down, and Boss Tian is also indispensable. If this is put in the old days, hum, then it is not good. β
Tian Weisheng was not happy to listen: "President Bai, what you said is too ugly? If you want to talk about merit, how can my merit be compared to you? For thousands of years, this porcelain has been alive and well, and the porcelain is also infinitely beautiful." How come it is your generation, there is no place to stand. I see, your credit is much greater than mine, and when you are old, you don't need to let go of your old age, when you see your ancestor gone, be careful. β
"Hey, the original form is revealed, then what are you doing today? Didn't you rush to ask for the texture of Ling porcelain? Don't forget, Ling porcelain is also ceramic! To say that you are also a successful person, you can't understand the words, Mr. Lin doesn't look down on you at all, paste your porcelain, what do you want? Are you qualified enough? Mr. Lin is not ashamed? I tell you, don't say that Mr. Lin does not agree, even if he agrees, our ceramic industry can not agree! I, Bai Mingzheng, disagree with the first one, you are a bone china burner, and you covet Ling porcelain, do you want to co-opt our ceramics?"
"I'm sorry, just your Chuanbai kiln, I don't want to give it to me. It's also co-opted, you also have to have the value of being co-opted, there is no self-knowledge, Huaguo's porcelain, sooner or later in the hands of people like you, with a mournful face. β
Bai Mingzheng was angry: "You are a nouveau riche with a fat face and a pig's head and dog brain." β
"You are a roe deer, an old turtle with two eyes. β
A sudden scolding battle made Ling Ming's studio have a lot of life - the sound of chickens and dogs barking.
