Chapter 620: Cooperation
Moreover, most of these high-priced Yuan blue and white porcelain were sold at foreign auctions, and the lots were mainly concentrated in Christie's auction houses. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Based on this, Meng Zitao felt that there was probably some catty in it, and things were not so simple.
At that time, Shu Ze also told everyone that he had consulted some relevant information during that time and found that except for a few top-level auctions of porcelain auctioned at high prices, most of the buyers of low-end Yuan blue and white were wealthy people in China.
Moreover, this is not Shu Ze casually said, he has also seen a few pieces of porcelain bought from abroad at a high price, and the things are indeed okay, but the price of porcelain of the same quality, in China, compared with foreign countries, is several times different, and the difference in price is not earned by foreigners.
At the same time, with the sky-high price of the "Guiguzi Descending Mountain Picture Jar", a new round of antique collecting fever was immediately set off in the mainland, coupled with the pursuit of the media, this round of craze has continued to the present, and it is getting more and more intense, and I don't know when it will calm down.
During this period, the number of collectors in the mainland has surged dozens of times, including many wealthy people in China, who often wave large sums of money in their hands and keep buying domestic cultural relics at high prices in auction markets around the world.
It is precisely because of the relationship between these people that the price of porcelain in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties has been raised to a new peak one after another.
At this time, the media mostly described this round of upsurge with many people's praise such as the improvement of domestic strength and the improvement of the status of the people.
And for foreigners, all this did not make them improve their perception of our country, on the contrary, they also laughed at this is completely a sign of "people are stupid, there is a lot of money, come quickly", during this time, I don't know how much wealth was earned by foreigners.
In the end, Shu Ze couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "In fact, the so-called treasures that those rich people buy at high prices abroad are actually ordinary goods in China, those foreigners are not stupid, they keep good things for themselves, and the collections of some top foreign museums are not necessarily decreasing, but gradually increasing, and I don't know what is the point of these people in addition to showing off their wealth?"
However, Meng Zitao is not as pessimistic as Shu Ze thought, after all, although the money was earned by foreigners, it also made domestic collectors pay attention to the foreign antique market, and even some people organized groups to go to foreign Taobao, although most of them are big road goods, but at least a considerable part of the treasures that have slipped through the net have been brought back from abroad.
Of course, foreigners are actually hyping the concept of antiques, and with the increase in popularity, the increase in the value of antiques will definitely make them a lot of money for these merchants who hold a considerable amount of Chinese antiques in their hands.
This is exactly what Meng Zitao hated very much, how can the money of the Chinese people be made so easily by foreigners?
After Shu Ze sighed, Zhong Jinxian smiled and said, since foreigners are unkind, we are simply unjust, there are so many domestic high imitation masters, and it is completely possible to make some high imitations that are enough to fake and real, and use them to deceive foreigners.
At the time, everyone laughed and said that it worked, but after the small talk that day, the idea was shelved because everyone had their own things to deal with and didn't have time to do it.
Moreover, this idea is risky, if foreigners find out that they are behind it, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.
Of course, as long as you act carefully and hide behind the scenes, this method is still feasible, and Meng Zitao also kept it in his heart, until after meeting Xiao Likai, this idea came up again.
Xiao Likai said a little weakly: "This ...... Isn't that a little too good?"
Meng Zitao asked with a serious expression: "Then do you think it's good for foreigners to deceive us?"
"It's certainly all the more hateful. That being said, Xiao Likai was still a little awkward in his heart.
Meng Zitao said: "Mr. Xiao, you must know history very well, how did foreigners treat our cultural relics? Burning, killing, looting and taking them back, and now selling them to us at a high price, is this a white wolf with empty gloves? And do you think the antique boom in recent years is really naturally formed?"
Next, Meng Zitao briefly retold the content of the chat that day and said everyone's judgment.
Meng Zitao continued: "Of course, since there is no evidence, these are just speculations, but think about it, who has benefited the most so far?
Xiao Likai scratched his head: "It's nothing to deceive foreigners, but if you go around and finally buy it by someone from our country, what should you do?"
"What do you care about this, at least we're making money, aren't we?"
Ling Ruihong looked a little anxious on the side, and made a decision directly to her husband: "Boss Meng, I think this matter is fine, but how to distribute the final income? Don't blame me for loving money too much, I think it's better to explain this kind of thing clearly." ”
"You're right, my brother still has to settle accounts, it's good to make it clear in advance. ”
Meng Zitao agreed with this point, and said: "I plan to do so, and in the end, the proceeds will be settled into money, of which 20% will be given to Mr. Xiao, and the rest will be taken by Mr. Xiao, and the rest will be invested in the study of antique porcelain, which will be at your disposal." Let's put it this way, not less than twenty percent. ”
In this way, Xiao Likai has access to 40% of the money, even if the 20% of the money wants to be used, it has to go through some procedures, but such conditions are definitely more cost-effective than simply selling things to others.
Therefore, Ling Ruihong was also very satisfied with this condition, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
I heard Meng Zitao continue: "However, we have to explain in advance, this matter must not fall on any document, it can be regarded as a verbal agreement." ”
"We understand that. The couple smiled and nodded, and they had nothing to worry about, at least the money they got would definitely not be less, and if Meng Zitao hid it from them, he could see that it would be a big deal to cancel the cooperation at that time, anyway, they would not suffer.
"Okay, I don't know if you have anything else to ask?" Meng Zitao asked.
"Some ......"
Next, the couple asked a few questions, but they were all minor questions, and Meng Zitao did not have anything to worry about, so he answered them one by one.
In the end, the couple discussed in a low voice, and Xiao Likai replied: "Shopkeeper Meng, we have agreed to cooperate with you." ”
Meng Zitao smiled: "Don't think about it?"
"With such good conditions, what else do we have to consider!" Xiao Likai laughed happily.
