"Fang Yi, have you seen it? Elder Sun thinks I have a future in this business......

Hearing Sun Lao praise himself, the fat man was like eating ginseng fruit, and the 108,000 pores on his body suddenly became unblocked, and he said triumphantly to Fang Yi: "I'm going to do it, let's go to Chaotian Palace to set up a stall, Fang Yi, you know how to be responsible for the purchase, and the sales will be handed over to me and Sanpao......

The fat man knew that whether he could implement his ideas or not, Fang Yi's opinion was crucial, because he and Sanpao were both poor and white proletarians, and the 20,000 yuan in his hand now was exchanged for Fang Yi's life, and Fang Yi didn't nod and said that it was empty.

"Old Sun, can you do this?" After hearing the fat man's words, Fang Yi's eyes looked at Sun Lianda, there was such an expert who didn't ask, wouldn't it be a waste?

"The antique business can easily cost thousands of dollars, and my opinion is that you should start making some cultural toys first......"

Sun Lianda thought for a while and said: "The domestic economy has improved a lot in recent years, and people have some spare money in their hands, and there are naturally more collections than before, but antiques need to have a certain degree of professionalism, and the time for you to do antiques is not yet ripe......"

"Hey, old man, isn't this antique the same as a literary play?" Sun Lianda was interrupted by the fat man before he finished speaking, and the words antique and literary play both meant the same thing in his ears.

"How can it be the same?" Looking at the blank looks of the young people in front of him, Sun Lianda opened his mouth and asked, "Do you know what is called an antique?

"I don't know!" Fang Yi Fat Man and the three voices of the three guns said in unison.

"Yes, you don't know anything, you just want to enter the industry, it's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers......" Sun Lianda shook his head with a wry smile, sighed and said: "I'll tell you what is called an antique, or a cultural relic......"

In addition to being the director of the Jinling Museum before his retirement, Sun Lianda was also a professor at the Department of Museums of Jinling University, lecturing on the relationship management of museums.

"Hey, old man, I'll refill you with a glass of water......"

The fat man picked up the kettle and poured water into Sun Lao's cup, moved a bench with Sanpao, and sat honestly in the middle of Sun Lianda and Fang Yi's bed, which is also limited in conditions, otherwise in order to show his attitude of serious study, I am afraid that the fat man will have to find a notebook to make a record.

"Well, the child can be taught, and ......" took a sip of water, the old man's senses for the fat man were slightly better, although this kid was a little greedy for money, but he also knew how to respect teachers and education, and he still had a future for training.

"Let's talk about antiques first, the characteristics of antiques, first of all, to look at the age, since there is an ancient word, when changing antiques, it is necessary to identify whether its age is old enough, and the age represented by this old word must be at least more than a hundred years, otherwise it can only become modern or modern handicrafts......

The second characteristic of antiques is to emphasize their scarcity, that is, the ancients said that things are rare and expensive, whether the amount of existence is not small enough, and the objects that are old enough and few will be popular, little fatty, if you are lucky enough to exchange for a pair of Song Dynasty Ru kiln tea bowls worth tens of millions, you must break a ......"

"Why? A pair is worth a lot of money, two are more expensive than one, right?" the fat man asked puzzled, hearing that it was 10 million, so he wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

"Xiao Fang, do you know why this is?" Sun Lianda smiled and looked at Fang Yi thoughtfully.

"Old Sun, didn't you say that rare things are precious...... Fang Yi thought for a moment and said, "Although the two are a pair, one is even rarer......

"That's right, that's the truth......"

After hearing Fang Yi's words, Sun Lao nodded with a smile and said, "If one is broken, the one left behind is a unique product, and the value may increase several times, why? Because it is unique in this world......

"I see, but this is also lacking in virtue, isn't it?" San Pao smacked his mouth, his thoughts were similar to those of the fat man.

"Xiao Fang, what do you think?" Old Sun threw the topic to Fang Yi again.

"I don't think it'...... like that."

Fang Yi opened his mouth and said: "The things that have been preserved for hundreds or thousands of years are extremely precious, and they can't even be measured by money, if this really smashes one, it would be a pity......

"Well, you kids have good hearts......"

Sun Lianda nodded happily and said, "The practice of smashing the same antiques to maintain scarcity is the work of antique dealers, if from the perspective of cultural relics protection, they are committing a crime, a crime against civilization......

Sun Lianda brought up this topic, in fact, he wanted to see how the young people in front of him behaved, if they agreed with the practice of smashing antiques, then this conversation would end here, and Sun Lianda would not teach them any more knowledge.

However, the answers of Fang Yi and others made Sun Lianda very satisfied, although these young people were very short of money, including the little fat man, they did not get into the eyes of money, and they still maintained the ability to distinguish right from wrong.

"To put it simply, antiques have a heavy sense of historical vicissitudes, and are the best witnesses of politics, economy, culture, and military in a period of social development......

And another point is that the antiques worth collecting, must be cultured, tasteful, artistic utensils, the great collectors of all times, are from the collection, they inherit the material evidence of civilization, guard the soul of feelings, this is the true meaning of the collection......"

When he said this, Old Sun showed a trace of indescribable emotion on his face.

Sun Lianda himself is a collector, and he also adheres to the purpose of collecting, but now the materialistic desire of the society is rampant, making the collection a more value-added investment than stock real estate, making tomb robbery rampant, and many precious antiques outflow, which is also a sad thing for Sun Lao.

"Fang Yi, if you want to do antique business in the future, you must remember one thing, you can buy and sell antiques, but you must not sell precious cultural relics to foreigners......

Sun Lao's face became stern, it is understandable for businessmen to pursue profits, but they must have their own bottom line, Sun Lianda does not want to create a few antique dealers with no bottom line in the future because of his own talk today.

I don't know why, the three still immature faces in front of him gave Sun Lianda a feeling that maybe they would really make some names in the field of antiques in the future.

"Old Sun, we remembered ......"

Fang Yi and the others nodded, they could all see from the attitude of the Manchu army towards Sun Lao that Sun Lao was definitely a very powerful figure in the field of antiques, so every word of Sun Lao, several people firmly remembered it.

"Okay, then I'll talk about cultural play......"

Seeing the expressions of several people, Sun Lao nodded with satisfaction and said: "The word literary play should appear in the period of the Five Emperors of the Qing Dynasty, and it was originally only defined as the four treasures of the study room such as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and various stationery......

These stationery have different shapes, carved finely, can be viewed, can be held in the hand to play, make it become the study room, the bookcase on the display of arts and crafts, so it is also called composition play......

However, in the modern antique world, the meaning of cultural toys has been expanded, and miscellaneous items have also been added to the category of cultural toys, such as jade, bamboo, wood, ivory, copper, stone, lacquer, materials, agate, purple sand, crystal and other materials made of small objects, all of which are called cultural relics......"

Speaking of this, Sun Lianda paused, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, and then said: "The difference between cultural toys and antiques is that it has no requirements for the age, but has high requirements for its materials and craftsmanship......

Some of the cultural toys come directly from the creativity of the literati, and even some are the improvised works of the literati, so the cultural connotation and accumulation of the cultural toys are the richest......

The main purpose of antiques is to collect, and collectibles are basically put on display all year round, and they will not be carried with them, nor will they or rarely hold them in their hands to play, which is also one of the biggest differences between antiques and cultural toys......"

As a professor who has taught at the university, Sun Lianda explained the difference between antiques and cultural toys in depth and simple, even Fang Yi, these three people who don't know anything about antiques and cultural toys, can hear it clearly, after Sun Lianda's words, several people have a general outline and cognition of the antique industry in their hearts.

"Listening to the old man's words, it's really better than reading a book for ten years!" seemed to be infected by Sun Lianda, and the fat man actually said a sentence.

"Fat man, you have only been studying for nine years in elementary and junior high school combined...... The three guns on the side were very faceless, and they exposed the fat man's academic qualifications on the spot.

"Aren't you the same? Big brother, don't talk about second brother......" The fat man pursed his lips when he heard this, in fact, it is not easy for them to go to junior high school in the countryside, and there are still some of the fat man's comrades-in-arms who have not graduated from elementary school.

"How's it going? Listening to the old man say this, are you still going to do this?" After a big call, Sun Lianda also felt a little thirsty, picked up the teacup and drank another sip of water, but he couldn't drink tea when he was sick, and the water was a little bland and tasteless in his mouth.

"I have to listen to Brother Yi'er about this matter......"

What was somewhat unexpected to Sun Lianda was that when he asked this sentence, the little fat man who had been shouting about doing it all the time looked at Fang Yi, which made Sun Lianda suddenly understand that the one who dared to call the shots among the three of them was still Fang Yi, who had the least words.
