Chapter Eighty-Four: Tang Feng!
In the end, Wu Zhiyong promised to give priority to Tang Feng for the semi-bright materials he had shipped back to Beijing. This effectively reduces the intermediate links of the operation of Chinese stone, and wins space and time for Tang Feng, of course, according to Tang Feng's style of doing things, he will not let Wu Zhiyong suffer.
In the following time, China Stone, Longbao Company, and Hantang Baoye made their own preparations, and the business war was imminent.
Five days later, Zeng Ziheng recovered from his knife wounds, and Su Qing called Tang Feng, who met her in a high-rise residential building in a residential area in downtown Beijing. When the two met, Su Qing said, "Hey, how can you thank me, I'm violating discipline." ”
Tang Feng smiled and said, "I'll invite you to dinner another day." ”
"Forget it, it's as if I'm helping you for this meal. Su Qing continued: "You talk about yours, I'll leave." ”
After Su Qing left, Tang Feng asked Zeng Ziheng, "You wrote the letter from the Chinese History Museum, right? This is the reason why you were hunted down, right?"
Zeng Ziheng nodded and said, "Yes." But this is only an inducement, and the main reason is because of internal disagreements. ”
Tang Feng then asked, "You are a group, who is the brain?"
Zeng Ziheng thought for a moment. In the end, the truth was revealed, Zeng Ziheng's friend Hei Dazu has been engaged in high-fidelity ceramic firing for several generations, and he has made small achievements in this regard. However, the past experience of counterfeiting has been broken through by modern identification methods, and the industry of high imitation is facing technical bottlenecks. For people who do high imitation, the breakthrough of technology is undoubtedly a catastrophe, because the cost of high imitation is very high, only as a genuine product into the market will get huge profits, once the technology is broken, high imitation can only be sold as decorations, which is not worth the high cost in any case. The emergence of gamma chemical additives has changed all this, which is the latest technology in foreign countries, mainly used for dinosaur fossil restoration. If not to say that the Chinese are smart, when Zeng Ziheng saw this thing, he immediately thought of ceramic counterfeiting. So, he cooperated with the big black guy and finally broke through the latest identification methods. However, the cost of γr is also very high, and the same amount of ancient ceramic powder of the same era is required, and the cost of this antique high-tech is several times that of the previous one, and it can only be made of high-level imitation ceramics. Because of limited resources, there was no way to operate independently, and when he was in a hurry to go to the doctor, the big black man found his friend Wang Tianshuo. Wang Tianshuo eats everything in black and white on the surface, but inside he is an empty shell, and he has found another big boss. This big boss is very rich, and he has provided a lot of funds to support Zeng Ziheng and Hei Da to continue to do research.
"But then you crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and chose to leave the big boss and do it yourself, right?" Tang Feng asked.
Zeng Ziheng let out a long sigh. said: "This is all Wang Tianshuo's idea, he is the master of one or two sides and three knives." ”
Tang Feng said: "In this matter, Wang Tianshuo is just a matchmaker, when you get on the line with that big boss, he has become dispensable, and he can only find a way out by getting rid of that big boss and then controlling you, so this is his only choice." ”
Zeng Ziheng said: "At that time, the technology was mature, and Wang Tianshuo had an underworld background, so I had no choice but to follow him." ”
"I'm afraid you don't plan to go far with Wang Tianshuo, a slap doesn't make a sound, compared to Wang Tianshuo's objective factor, your subjective factors seem to be more. Tang Feng then asked: "The Ming blue and white flowers that overseas Chinese bought back are your masterpieces, right? I checked, 2oo million pounds, you are really dark." ”
Zeng Ziheng said: "That batch of Ming blue and white flowers was fired when we cooperated with that big boss, and he spent a lot of money to buy a batch of Ming porcelain fragments, and even broke the finished ware. ”
"You said you fired a batch?" Tang Feng remembered another thing, and he immediately asked, "Is there a Ming Hong Wuyun dragon pattern blue and white glaze red lid jar among them?"
Zeng Ziheng immediately nodded: "Yes, there are six pieces in that batch, although there are also flaws." But all of them are high-imitation boutiques, and the cloud dragon pattern blue and white glaze red was broken by you on the "Shengshi Collection" program, costing millions. The Eastern Han Dynasty rap terracotta figurines sold to you were fired later, because we couldn't find high-quality ancient porcelain powder, we could only use ancient pottery powder, because the material was cheap, so the cost was not high, less than 100,000. ”
Tang Feng faintly guessed who the big boss was, and he asked Zeng Ziheng: "You haven't said who the big boss is?"
"Yang Chengming!" Zeng Ziheng blurted out.
At this time, Tang Feng had to admire Wu Zhiyong's vision, it was obvious that those who chased and killed Zeng Ziheng had nothing to do with Yang Chengming, he would never be merciful at a critical moment, he and Jiang Yuan were completely two kinds of people. If it was Wu Zhiyong who met Yang Chengming, he would never have had a chance to turn over, and the good guys and the bad guys would never have a clear concept.
Tang Feng asked slowly: "This enemy is a little too strong, what do you think now?" Tang Feng had to weigh the pros and cons of cooperating with Zeng Ziheng, it was dangerous to be an enemy with Yang Chengming head-on, compared to himself, he was more worried about Zeng Ziheng, if he always thought about revenge, it would inevitably cause extraneous branches.
"You're right. Zeng Ziheng said: "These days, I am also thinking about whether I should seek revenge on him, but now I have figured it out, I, Hei Da and Wang Tianshuo, who have escaped the catastrophe, should not think about him at all, if we don't write a letter to expose him, we won't end up in today's field." Since the three of us can't do anything about him, I can't do anything about it alone, and I can't actually blame him for this matter, it's me. I'll do the same. So, I just want to spend the rest of my life in peace now, but I will remember that you saved me, so I want to make a deal with you. ”
Tang Feng didn't speak, and listened to Zeng Ziheng's words, Zeng Ziheng said: "We cooperate, the benefits are half, in addition, I will teach you all the techniques, because I don't want my Ming, if this can be called Ming, I don't want my Ming to be lost." ”
Tang Feng knew what Zeng Ziheng meant, he was worried about his safety, and he said: "Don't worry, I won't let him touch a single hair of you one day with me, and if you provoke me, he won't feel good." However, the things that come out must be made by **, your kind of operation technology is too low, and it is too easy to be recognized. ”
Zeng Ziheng nodded and said, "Do you think I can choose? I don't dare to show up at all now." ”
Tang Feng said: "I'll take a genuine piece out." And give you the corresponding materials, can you make a high imitation? I want the best, the kind that can break through foreign high-tech identification methods. ”
Zeng Ziheng nodded and said, "It must be possible, now, you have to find me a hidden place, I need to build a kiln." ”
"Well, I'm done and I'm coming to you. Tang Feng continued: "I hope you can remember that there are not many people in Beijing who are brave enough to work with you. ”
Zeng Ziheng nodded and said: "I won't joke with my life, since Yang Chengming has decided to do it, he will not go back." ”
Tang Feng suddenly thought of something, with Yang Chengming's work style, if he didn't master Zeng Ziheng's core technology, it would be impossible to kill the killer, and he would also make some moves in this regard. Hopefully, he's the same as himself, targeting the international market. And Zeng Ziheng must have made new progress on his side, otherwise he would not have written a letter to point out the flaws in the things he burned, he should have found a way to break through this flaw.
Saying goodbye to Zeng Ziheng, Tang Feng rushed all the way to Chen Yan's house, at this time Chen Yan had not gone out, Chen Yan didn't expect that Tang Feng, who met him every day, would suddenly come home, he asked strangely: "It can't be an accident, right?"
Tang Feng said to him: "Go to Zhejiang and Fujian later, I have something important for you to help with." ”
Chen Yan said: "What's the matter, let's talk about it directly." ”
Tang Feng said: "Rent a factory in the suburbs of Beijing or Hebei, don't be too remote, the best place with a large flow of people, I want to get a porcelain kiln." "Small hidden in the wild, big hidden in the city, no matter how powerful Yang Chengming is, he is not a state machine, and it is not so easy to find a Zeng Ziheng in the vast sea of people.
"Porcelain kiln, do you want to burn porcelain?" Chen Yan thought for a while and said: "This is easy to do, there are many places to attract investment in Hebei, I will ask a friend to ask, and there will be eyebrows soon." ”
Tang Feng said: "I'm afraid that it won't work, you have to run by yourself, don't ask anyone, I'm going to burn high imitation porcelain." ”
"Huh?" Chen Yan looked surprised, Tang Feng didn't hide it from him, and told his plan.
"Hmm. After hearing this, Chen Yan immediately laughed and nodded and said: "This is really a fucking good idea, Lao Tzu likes to cheat foreigners the most, don't worry, I'll do it right away." ”
"Then I'm leaving. After Tang Feng finished speaking, he turned around and left, and on the way back to the city, Tang Feng called Liu Yue again and asked her to help pay attention to the trend of Ming Qinghua in the auction market.
In the next ten days, Tang Feng visited the antique markets throughout Beijing, spending millions to buy a few pieces of damaged Yongle blue and white in the Ming Dynasty. Porcelain is not a commodity denominated in weight, and the monetary value of the remnants is far lower than that of the finished ware, and Tang Feng has limited financial resources, so he is even more reluctant to break the finished ware to forge it. The only way to do this is to settle for the next best thing.
The opening of the new stores of Hantang Baoye and Longbao Company is imminent, Chen Yan has completed the procurement task and returned to Beijing, but at this time, Tang Feng is far away in the industrial park on the outskirts of Langfang, Hebei Province, and the factory that Chen Yan helped him find is here. Due to the rush of time and the unfamiliarity of life, the rent of this factory is a little expensive, Tang Feng spent more than 100,000 yuan at once, fortunately, he auctioned the Qing Dynasty "Treasure of Revenge and Peace" jade seal some time ago and obtained more than 4ooo funds, and after paying off the bank loan, there are still more than 2ooo left, otherwise he really can't afford to raise this gold-swallowing monster-like fake porcelain kiln.
The whole country is attracting investment, and the competition is fierce, which makes investment very convenient, and all kinds of procedures are completed in one stop, and there is no procedural trouble. Located in Langfang, the conditions of this industrial park are very good, with complete supporting facilities and perfect security measures, and idle people without a license cannot enter the park at all, and Zeng Ziheng's safety is not a problem.
Since Zeng Ziheng couldn't show his face, Tang Feng specially called Lu Guang from China Stone to help, Tang Feng still trusted Lu Guang, and this time he also increased his salary a lot. The design plan of the porcelain kiln came out quickly, and the materials were ready to start construction, which was not a technical job, and many small local construction enterprises could undertake it, and most of the employees of these enterprises were road guerrillas, who knew nothing about porcelain, so that they did not understand what the boiler room was built for until it was completed.
The construction of the porcelain kiln is just the beginning, it is still too early to fire porcelain, when the preparations are still in progress, Wu Zhiyong called, a new batch of semi-clear gambling stones arrived in Beijing, this thing can not be done by others, Tang Feng had to return to Beijing. Wu Zhiyong did not break his promise, and put out what he thought was the best semi-clear material gambling stone for Tang Feng to see, Tang Feng picked a few pieces, and unraveled them out that they were all ordinary goods, and only two pieces could be regarded as high-quality products. This is enough for Tang Feng, what he wants is a genuine reputation, not to spread it out, and with his current economic strength, there is no way to spread it out.
Tang Feng's technique is typical of covering the surface with points, and he wants customers to understand that no matter what the quality of the jadeite of Chinese stone is, the price must be clearly marked and never adulterated. His goal is to put it in layman's terms, when a customer decides to buy jadeite jewelry, the place he chooses is Chinese stone, and Chinese stone is not bought elsewhere, which is the same as his idea of operating seal stones.
Is it useful to spend a lot of money to buy a gold medal in the Chinese jade carving and stone carving grand prix? It must be useful! According to Tang Feng's point of view, after winning the award, Chen Yan's carved water products not only did not rise but declined, but the reputation was better than before by more than one grade, and the authoritative award was more than one grade.
In addition to Chen Yan, in this matter, Fan Chengru helped Tang Feng a lot, his apprentices and grandchildren were many masters, and Tang Feng secretly hired a few people to help them process jadeite jewelry. In this industry with a strong traditional atmosphere, the head Fan Chengru still has a lot of weight in his words, so that Hantang Baoye and Longbao Company did not know that they had set foot in the jadeite market until the jadeite jewelry of China Stone was officially put on the counter.
On the eighth day of the second lunar month, the new stores of Hantang Baoye and Longbao Company were opened, and the two companies fought in Xidan, and as soon as the grand opening ceremony ended, the overwhelming advertisements and endless discounts came one after another, and the dragon and tiger battle in Beijing's jewelry industry has tended to be white-hot. On the same day, two banners were quietly hung out at the gate of the somewhat deserted Chinese stone - our store only sells A goods, no B goods, BSP; Almost at the same time, another huge poster also appeared on the outer wall of the Chinese stone, which detailed the goods A, B and BSP; As soon as the news came out, the entire jewelry market in Beijing was in an uproar, and China Stone attracted a crusade, and the distinction between A goods, B goods and C goods is the industry standard of the jewelry market, especially the jadeite market. The basic theory of this standard is that B goods and C goods are also authentic jadeite products, and merchants can not mark and distinguish them, that is, the jadeite products bought by customers are not necessarily natural jadeite.
This practice of China Stone is undoubtedly a big disapproval of the world, because they directly listed B goods and C goods as fakes, which undoubtedly undermined the industry standards, and the industry criticized this practice of breaking the rules at the expense of killing chickens and eggs for commercial interests. The next day, experts came out to refute the rumors, B goods, C goods are authentic jadeite products, and consumers should decide according to their own purchasing power.
Next, China Shi has been silent and does not participate in any controversy over aBc goods, Tang Feng has already recruited, it depends on how Jiang Yuan and Yang Chengming take over.
A week later, Longbao Company and Hantang Baoye quietly marked aBc on their own jadeite products, and the result was that the discounts were all B goods and C goods, and the price of jadeite A goods basically did not change. This week, the turnover of China Stone did not fall but rose, and Jiang Yuan and Yang Chengming lost
Round 1.
Half a month later, a well-known website appeared in an unfavorable report on Tang Feng, with the headline -- Who is selling Chinese culture? A well-known collector serves the extreme right-wing forces in Japan.
The content is roughly as follows, the current guest of the "Shengshi Collection" column, the boss behind the Chinese stone scenes, and the well-known domestic collector Tang Feng sold the Qing Dynasty "Treasure of Revenge and Peace" jade seal in Hong Kong, and the buyer was Toshiki Aoyama, a wealthy Japanese businessman, and the transaction price was as high as 580,000 Hong Kong dollars.
The news also gave a detailed introduction to the background of Toshiki Aoyama, whose real name is Toshiki Aoki, is the heir of the Japanese Aoki Foundation, which has a close relationship with the Idemitsu Museum of Art in Tokyo, which collects the "Shokun Out of the Sai" Yuan blue and white jars, and the Manno Art Museum in Osaka, Japan, which collects the "Hyakikatei" Yuan blue and white pots, and has long organized Japanese domestic cultural relics experts to go to China to purchase Chinese cultural relics in the name of group tourism.
In addition, the Aoki Foundation is a representative of the extreme right-wing ** forces in Japan, and Toshiki Aoyama's great-grandfather Makoto Aoki once participated in the war of aggression against China with the Japanese army, committed heinous crimes in China, and his hands were stained with the blood of the Chinese people.
In addition, the report refuted the behavior of China's younger generation, Ha Han Ha Ri, and expressed concern about the Chinese education sector's efforts to ignore patriotic education. The report immediately called on all Chinese people not to forget the national shame and boycott Japanese products.
Finally, the article featured several photos of Tang Feng and Toshiki Aoyama at the Hong Kong International Convention and Exhibition Center.
As soon as this report came out, it immediately attracted widespread attention from netizens, and for a while, countless clicks and posts were followed, and netizens criticized Tang Feng as a traitor, and this incident was also called "traitor door". The continuous attention of netizens made this report quickly occupy a prominent position on major websites. After that, photos of Tang Feng during his stay in Hong Kong were exposed one after another, and photos of Chinese stones also appeared on the Internet, and calls for boycotting Chinese stones came and went.
In less than three days, the incident escalated again, and a photo of Tang Feng and Toshiki Aoyama shaking hands and talking and seeing each other happily appeared on the Internet, which undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, and angry netizens jointly wrote a letter demanding that the relevant departments severely punish the traitor Tang Feng who resold the cultural relics protected by the state.
In just a few days, Tang Fengxun became notorious on the Internet, and Baidu's ranking climbed all the way to the top three.
