"Xiao Dan, don't underestimate this plum vase, maybe this Chenghua blue and white porcelain is not as good as one-tenth of this plum vase. Zhang Tianyuan said to Ouyang Xiaodan that the plum bottle was worthless, a little angry.

How could he buy something worthless? And take the initiative to put in five hundred dollars?

Ouyang Xiaodan was still about to speak, but he saw a strange middle-aged man staggering over, the person was a little fat, and he looked very white, but no matter how he looked at it, he had a smell of kimchi.

"Ahaha, I said that the voice is so familiar, it turned out to be Officer Ouyang. "The kimchi flavor of this person's speech is even stronger, and the Mandarin is completely substandard.

Ouyang Xiaodan seemed to recognize this person, and smiled: "It turned out to be Boss Pu, and he came to buy something again today?"

Boss Napu sighed and said: "Alas, don't mention it, in the past few years, I have mostly gone to Baodao, Japan, Europe and the United States to buy Chinese antiques. Now there are fewer and fewer real things and old things on the mainland. You see, I've been here for a long time, and it's all imitations!"

"Panjiayuan is like this, so now it is also called the imitation thrift market, if you want to pick the real thing, you should go to the glass factory, there should really be more. Since you know that there are few real things here, why do you still come here?" asked Ouyang Xiaodan.

At this time, Zhang Tianyuan couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Who is this person?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce it, this is Boss Park from Korea, who is in the antique business! I have helped him before, so he has always remembered me. Ouyang Xiaodan explained.

"Boss Park, this is Zhang Tianyuan, my good friend. He has a beautiful treasure appreciation skill, didn't he just buy a genuine Chenghua blue and white porcelain. You still say it's not true, I think it's a bad mentality. "Ouyang Xiaodan is really learning and using. Zhang Tianyuan mentioned the problem of mentality just now, and he immediately used it now.

"Oh, Chenghua blue and white porcelain?" Boss Park obviously didn't believe it, so he wasn't interested at all, and turned his head to chat with Ouyang Xiaodan again.

Boss Park said with a smile that most of the time he is now in the imperial capital is not to buy antiques, but to sell antiques. He also told Ouyang Xiaodan that in recent years, the prices of Chinese cultural relics in foreign markets have been declining year by year, and the highest selling price is in China's mainland market. So, he plans to invest $3 million. In the imperial capital, a museum focusing on Hongshan cultural jade and Han and Tang cultural relics was opened, and the location was selected in the most conspicuous location of the 798 Art District, covering an area of about 700 square meters, and the approval procedures and lease contracts are being processed.

"That's it, I have to help Officer Ouyang a lot. Boss Park arched his hand.

"That's no problem, promoting Chinese culture, this is a good thing, I will definitely support it." Ouyang Xiaodan said with an oath.

Although Boss Park kept saying that he opened the Chinese Cultural Relics Museum because he "loves ancient Chinese culture", he also made Ouyang Xiaodan admire. But a discerning person like Zhang Tianyuan can see at a glance: this move is "the drunkard's intention is not to drink". The purpose is to figure out how to show Chinese cultural relics to expand their influence, and then turn them into sales, and finally make a profit.

Zhang Tianyuan has heard a lot about this kind of thing, so he naturally knows the inside story. But what Boss Park does, it has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't want to tear down other people's platforms. just smiled and said, "Boss Park is here to act as a 'death squad'." ”

"What do you mean by that?" asked Boss Park suspiciously.

Zhang Tianyuan replied: "In the past two years, the Chinese cultural relics market has been flooded with fakes and it is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, and the price of cultural relics has also been declining. Basically, it's 'in line with international standards'. ”

Boss Park confidently said to Zhang Tianyuan: "You are only half right! The market just doesn't buy your domestic things, and the overseas repatriated cultural relics that have been painted by the customs are still very popular!"

He also sued Zhang Tianyuan. He did not need to come out of South Korea for the $3 million he spent on opening the museum, he had already handed over two pieces of cultural relics to an imperial capital auction company, and one of the Song Dynasty Jun porcelain was appraised by relevant experts in the Capital Museum, and was estimated at more than 10 million RMB.

When Ouyang Xiaodan heard the auction company, he reminded: "Be extra careful when dealing with the auction company, don't lose your wife and soldiers, there are very thieves now, especially the auction company, sometimes you don't know how to eat when you suffer a loss." ”

Boss Park said with a smile: "Thank you Officer Ouyang for your concern, but I don't have to pay any fees before the transaction is made, and the auction company promises to find a buyer for me, and prepay me 1 million yuan as a credit deposit before the auction starts, this shouldn't be fake, right?"

Zhang Tianyuan nodded secretly, but he didn't expect that the auction company was really "strict with oneself and lenient with others", and instead of charging any "catalogue fees" and "publicity fees" for foreign chanting monks, he first posted 1 million yuan to show his sincerity, which showed the ancient Confucian style of "having friends from afar, and being happy"!

It seems that not all businessmen are profiteers, and there are those who are really willing to operate in good faith.

"By the way, Officer Ouyang, why don't you let this Mr. Zhang take a few things to my museum to exhibit, Officer Ouyang's friend, I can still trust it." Boss Park suddenly said.

Zhang Tianyuan smiled a little sarcastically at this time: "Don't don't, my collection has no fire paint on the buttocks, don't ruin the experts' good evaluation of your returning national treasures!"

However, Boss Park obviously didn't hear the sarcasm in his words, and scratched his head, obviously not understanding the meaning of Zhang Tianyuan's words.

It is not surprising that a foreigner is confused, but the rules of the game that are as rapidly changing as the Sichuan opera face changing market in China are daunting. In particular, the formulators of the rules of the game -- the experts in the appraisal and the owners of the auction companies -- turned their hands into clouds, turned their hands into rain, turned stones into gold, and pointed to deer as horses, making this already confusing special trade even more mysterious, and full of tricks.

What's even more tragic is that tens of millions of Chinese people who participated in the "Panjiayuan Game" are still constantly updating themselves in the "virus software" designed by these "hackers", becoming the eternal "rookies" and "target warriors" in this game!

As an insider, Zhang Tianyuan understands, so what he said. Although it is a bit ironic, why is it not helpless?

Once people fall into the "Huangliang Dream" in this illusory courtyard. It's really hard to wake up again.

Although Zhang Tianyuan came to Panjiayuan for the first time, he went to the antique market a lot. So it's very clear about that.

He found that "Panjiayuan Oral Literature" had unconsciously changed its main theme. The story of the earliest version of "My grandmother and my grandfather handed down the ......" has been extinct, and even the story of the second version of "...... dug up from the tomb of Kaifeng Han" has not been repeated, replaced by the 08 version of the latest Panjiayuan story: "My son (or daughter) studied in France, and one day he went to the suburbs for a trip, and found this pair of Kangxi colorful general jars in an old brewer's house, guess what? The old man's ancestor is the Eight-Nation Alliance!" My son bought it without saying a word, one was auctioned off in the United States, and the remaining one returned to his homeland?...... You see, there's a fire paint on the back of this jar!"

It's so sad.

Wave after wave of buyers. Scam after scam, Pan's story seems to always be able to conquer listeners with its glorious wealth and charm.

A "red buttocks" (fire paint) collection craze is quietly setting off in our country, and a number of cultural relics fakes that were bought back by foreigners in the first few years are returning to China's cultural relics market on a large scale. At the same time, China's cultural relics market has been the same as the stock market and the real estate market, the bubble is bursting, quietly entering a period of recession, and the Asian art craze set off in the world at the beginning of this century is also rapidly cooling down.

In 2008, Sotheby's exhibited 260 lots at the Asian Art Auction in New York. In the end, only 60% of the transaction was completed, and the total transaction amount was only more than 20 million US dollars, which was only enough for a blue and white jar of the Yuan Dynasty that was auctioned in the first few years. There is no exception in our country, and most of the cultural relics have no price. People in all kinds of markets buy more and buy less. This is a clear reminder: the winter of China's cultural relics market is coming!

Of course, it is not right to be too pessimistic, although there are still problems of one kind or another in China's cultural relics market. But in recent years, it has become obviously popular again, and the key is that with the improvement of many people's level. If the counterfeit is not easy to mix, then the genuine product is naturally more worthy of people to buy.

Not to mention the cultural relics. It has always been you who sang and I came again, and the collection of ceramics seems to have gone down a bit, but the collection of literati calligraphy and painting has suddenly come up again.

Zhang Tianyuan had known a man known as the "Painting Monkey" through Dong Lao before. This person used to be a pig killer, and by chance, he got a painting, and then he sent it directly, and then not only did the TV station often invite him to do programs, but he also simply changed his career to do calligraphy and painting business, which was quite prosperous.

In the past two years, although the market for ceramics, bronzes and other cultural relics has not been very prosperous, the trade of celebrity calligraphy and paintings has become more and more prosperous. In addition, his legendary experience is getting fresher and fresher, and the TV station will come to shoot his long face for the show twice in three days, and the business will naturally win over others.

"You said that this person is too, when you meet a nobleman, that guy is really lucky in his life! When you were selling pork on the board, anyone who saw you would stay away, for fear of getting the smell of blood. To this day, my old monkey is still an old monkey, and I haven't become the Monkey King, why do everyone shout at me when they see me, "Expert, expert"? If you think about it carefully, it's all about money, and if you have money, you're famous, and if you're good at painting, you're an old expert! People say that they sell dog meat with a sheep's head, but I'm a sheep's head for pork, right?"

Mention this matter, mainly to explain that there are many people in the current cultural relics market, but in fact, it is not necessarily, after all, the overall cultural level of people is getting higher and higher, even if there is no professional knowledge, then know how to find an expert to help mention a building or something, and now there are people who specialize in eating this mouthful.

Let's talk about the treasure and treasure appreciation programs on TV now, which are also quite popular.

Of course, Boss Park didn't know what he said, so Zhang Tianyuan thought about so many things, he was serious, walked over, stared at the Chenghua blue and white porcelain and looked at it carefully, not to mention, this person does have some vision.

"This really is Su Mali blue and white porcelain in the early Ming Dynasty, it really is! Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, where did you buy this thing? If you don't sell it, you must also go to my museum to exhibit it." Boss Park was anxious, regretting his disdain just now, he was really afraid of offending Zhang Tianyuan. (To be continued......)
