Chapter 619: Meng Zitao's Plans
Xiao Likai's storeroom has strict anti-theft measures, which can fully reach the bank level, 360-degree monitoring is installed around the storeroom, and the door is also very heavy, which is better than the security level of the basement of Meng Zitao's villa. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
According to Xiao Likai's own introduction, when the kiln factory was built at that time, most of the cost was spent on building this storage room.
Following Xiao Likai into the storage room, Meng Zitao saw that the porcelain was mainly divided into two areas, the porcelain on the left was all blue and white porcelain, and the porcelain on the right was mainly colored porcelain such as pastel, which looked like a masterpiece, which was breathtaking.
In addition, on the table in front of it, there are porcelain, but there are only a few pieces, which are quite precious varieties of porcelain, and they look more natural.
Meng Zitao asked with a smile: "Presumably, these porcelains in front of you should be genuine, right?"
"Good eyesight!"
Xiao Likai gave Meng Zitao a thumbs up: "These pieces of porcelain are all real things, they are treasures that I have collected over the years, and it cost me a lot of savings, just the Qianlong pastel flower double dragon ear vase, when I bought it, it cost more than one million, and now it should be worth more than eight million yuan, if it is not really helpless, I will not sell it." ”
"However, I am a little embarrassed to say it, so I also made a rather realistic imitation of it, which sold for more than 300,000 yuan at the time, and I heard that it was sold at an auction and sold for more than 5 million. ”
Chen Zhongfeng asked curiously: "Since the sales are so good, why don't you make a few more pieces?"
Xiao Likai smiled and said that when he was selling, he had made a guarantee that he would not make a second bottle of the same kind within 5 years, so he would not make such a bottle again within one or two years.
"In our industry, the most important thing is credibility, what you say, people without credibility, no matter how high the craftsmanship, few people will patronize. ”
Meng Zitao also understands this, antiques are rare and expensive, the value of a high imitation and a dozen high imitations is very different, and once a number of high imitations appear, it is easy to be found to be imitations, which will definitely affect the interests of buyers, if you don't want to sell high imitations as genuine, why should these buyers spend high prices to buy high imitations?
It is estimated that when the buyer learns that the author has made a second copy of the same high imitation, he will be anxious: "I spent so much money to buy your high imitation, why do you still sell it to others? What is mine worth?"
Xiao Likai continued: "Speaking of which, I am really not willing to sell high imitation porcelain, just like buying a high imitation from me, the most expensive is less than 500,000 yuan, and in the end, if it can be auctioned, the transaction price is often 10 to 100 times." To put it mildly, don't say anything about the abuse, but in the end it is a small head. ”
Ling Ruihong said: "You feel that the money has been earned by others, and you feel uncomfortable, then you are a little more angry, I have always asked you to make ordinary daily porcelain, although the income is small, but the profit is also very rich after a large amount, every time you tell you, how do you answer me?"
Xiao Likai coughed lightly: "Making daily porcelain is too much of a delay in my time." ”
Ling Ruihong said angrily: "Then I'm going to ask you, is your hobby important, or is eating important?"
Xiao Likai waved his hand: "Okay, I'll talk about this later." ”
Ling Ruihong was angry: "You...... Sooner or later, I'm going to be by you!"
Xiao Likai persuaded: "Oh, don't be angry, the bread will be there, the milk will be there, everything will be fine." ”
Ling Ruihong sneered: "Hey, I want to see when your words can be realized." ”
The conversation between the husband and wife, everyone is not easy to interject, so they focus on the porcelain in the room.
However, Meng Zitao could still feel that Ling Ruihong's disappointment in Xiao Likai was beyond words, and if it continued like this, there would definitely be problems in the marriage between the two.
And although Ling Ruihong is not young, she is well maintained, although she looks more shrewd, but there is no big problem, even if she is divorced, it is easier to find another one.
On the contrary, Xiao Likai's technical nerd character, it would be easy to find a wife like Ling Ruihong, who has been a housekeeper since childhood.
Moreover, Meng Zitao could see that Xiao Likai loved his wife very much, and if he divorced, he might not know what would happen, which was in conflict with his plan. Therefore, even for his own sake, he had to persuade Xiao Likai to agree to his plan.
Meng Zitao admired Xiao Likai's few genuine porcelains, and then continued to admire the high imitations in the room. These high-quality imitations are very realistic, and none of the porcelain is less than 90% of the original, even experts may not be able to see the problem.
Once people concentrate, time passes unconsciously, and Ling Ruihong has already gone out to arrange the lunch meal.
Xiao Likai said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Meng, it's not too early, let's go to dinner first, and you can look at things in the afternoon." ”
Meng Zitao saw that it was already half past eleven, and nodded and said okay.
Ling Ruihong arranged a sumptuous meal for everyone, and the taste was very good, and everyone enjoyed it.
Meng Zitao clinked glasses with Xiao Likai and said, "Teacher Xiao, what are your plans in the future?"
Xiao Likai was stunned and asked a little strangely, "What, I didn't understand what you meant." ”
Meng Zitao said: "I want to say, what are your plans for your career?"
Xiao Likai is not good at drinking, he drank a little more just now, and now his mind is a little confused, he didn't turn the corner, and said: "I don't have any plans, isn't it good to be like this now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his foot being kicked, looked at his wife next to him, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Why are you kicking me?"
Meng Zitao and the others almost laughed out loud when they saw this scene.
Ling Ruihong glared at her husband fiercely, and said to Meng Zitao apologetically: "I'm sorry, he drank some wine is this virtue, if you have any ideas, just say it." ”
Xiao Likai immediately patted his chest and said, "Yes, yes, yes, even if I say yes, I will do my best to do what I can." ”
Ling Ruihong touched her forehead lightly, and she didn't know what to say.
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, my idea is that we should cooperate in setting up a porcelain company, specializing in high-end porcelain, I don't know if you are interested?"
Xiao Likai scratched his head: "Do you still want to run a company? With my brain, I definitely can't do it." ”
Seeing her husband say this, Ling Ruihong really hated that iron could not become steel, and she was so angry that her teeth itched, and she said secretly: "Go back and settle accounts with you!"
At the same time, she asked with a smile on her face, "Boss Meng, can you tell us more about your plan?"
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Actually, Mr. Xiao doesn't have to worry about business problems, I will ask professionals to deal with it." For Mr. Xiao, your work is actually not much different from now, you are mainly responsible for the study of ancient porcelain, and you can just take the time to teach one or two more apprentices. ”
"Regarding your salary, I have two plans, first, you can choose the company's shares, of course, this is not to say that you will not be paid, but it will be relatively much less, and the company will definitely put the profits into operation in the past two years, and it is not realistic to want to pay dividends during this time, of course, in the long run, it must be cost-effective to choose shares. The second option, I'll give you a million salaries a year......"
"What! You give me a million wages?" Xiao Likai was a little dumbfounded, and Ling Ruihong was surprised and a little excited.
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "One million is nothing, I think your craftsmanship is worth this price, in addition, according to the company's annual operation, I will also give you dividends, if the company runs well, it is possible to double the salary, I don't know if you are satisfied with such conditions?"
"This ...... That's too high, isn't it? Xiao Likai looked a little incredible, he hadn't seen so much money, but the salary alone could have so much, it was beyond his expectations.
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "I still say the same thing, with your craftsmanship, there is no problem with this salary at all." Of course, it depends on how you choose, whether you want shares or salaries. ”
Xiao Likai struggled for a while and said, "I want to ......"
Ling Ruihong interrupted him: "Boss Meng, let's think about this matter, and your business scope, is it only limited to the legal scope?"
Xiao Likai also reacted immediately, he didn't know much about the company Meng Zitao said, how could he make a decision so easily, it seems that drinking made a mistake.
Meng Zitao nodded and said, "This is as it should be." As for the question of whether the operation is legal, let me put it this way, at least in the future, there will be no problem at all with the things sold by our company's own sales department. ”
The couple glanced at each other, and Ling Ruihong asked, "Can you make it clearer." ”
Meng Zitao smiled and said: "My idea is actually very simple, I am going to take the high imitation made by Mr. Xiao to sell abroad, but this is different from the businessman who ordered the high imitation from you before, my plan is to sell the high imitation directly to foreigners, or exchange it from the foreigner to our country's cultural relics and bring it back to China." ”
In fact, Meng Zitao has been thinking like this for a while, and the reason is related to what he talked about in the chat with Shu Ze in the capital.
As we all know, with a Yuan blue and white Guiguzi Xiashan porcelain jar in 2005, after the transaction at a sky-high price of nearly 230 million, the sky-high price of Chinese cultural relics frequently appeared in international auctions, which also ignited the enthusiasm of the collection market.
But it has to be mentioned that before the auction of this Guiguzi Xiashan porcelain jar, from the day of the establishment of old auction houses such as Sotheby's, there were only 21 pieces of Yuan blue and white porcelain with an auction price of more than one million RMB, but after the appearance of this sky-high porcelain, more than 20 corresponding lots appeared (to 09).
