Chapter 1348 Bogu Net
……
Although Liu Dong didn't gain anything here in the morning, the old man Zhu next to him identified a good thing in the morning.
'Qing Dynasty Qianlong red sandalwood inlaid ice plum pattern kang table'!
The market price of the imperial supplies in the four or nine cities is not less than five million!
Liu Dong naturally won't let go of such a good thing, but unfortunately, people don't sell it at all.
After Liu Dong sold the price to 10 million, looking at the master who was still full of determination, he had no choice but to give up!
There is money in Liu Dong's pocket, but 10 million is the highest price he can come up with. If not, he might as well take the money and auction a piece of rosewood court furniture of the same value from the auction!
After all, this thing is not Tang Yin's "Jinshan Victory Map", it is not unique, and naturally it has no value for Liu Dong to spend a lot of money!
However, Old Man Huo has identified a good thing - 'Qianlong Imperial Inscription Poem Interstitial'. The material of green and white jade, although there is no seal left by Qianlong Ye on it, is also worth more than one million.
This time, Liu Dong did not hit the wall again, and for 1.8 million, he bought four pieces of green and white jade 'Qianlong Imperial Inscription Poem Interstitial'.
"Feelings, a few of us are here to work for you this time! All the good things have been bought by your kid!" After Liu Dong came back from paying the bill, Old Man Huo smiled.
"Yes, Liu Dong, you have made all the cheap! Should you also invite this lunch meal?" Zhu Hongjun also smiled.
"Okay, no problem! I'll be Dong at noon today, and I'll invite the three seniors to dinner!"
The words fell. Liu Dong moved out of the way. I made a gesture of please.
"Huh. Then you're welcome!" After a pause, Geng Mingchang turned his head and said, "Let's go, two old brothers!
"Let's go, let's go, it's still the same place at noon today!"
After handing over the things he bought to the accompanying bodyguards, Liu Dong took the four old men out of the exhibition center.
"Yell. I didn't expect it to be noon, and it's still so lively outside!"
Looking at the hundreds of stalls in the open space next to the square outside the door, as well as the antique dealers and collectors who were still bargaining, Old Man Huo couldn't help but be surprised.
"What, do you want to go shopping?" asked Zhu Hongjun.
"Of course, maybe you can get a good leak!"
For antique collectors, digging for treasures in antique streets is like eating and drinking, and it is an essential activity in their lives, or perhaps a habit is more appropriate.
"I said let's go eat first, I'm already hungry for a long time! Besides, it's not too late to go shopping again after eating! They won't be able to leave for a while!"
"Good. Just listen to Lao Geng, it just so happens that I haven't eaten much in the morning. It's going to be a little hungry!" Zhu Hongjun said with a smile.
Listening to the three old men talking and laughing, Liu Dong, who was next to him, didn't say much, and after finally taking a look at the antique stall next to him, he drove towards the restaurant together.
When I arrived at the restaurant, I ordered the local famous dishes of Zheng*zhou, such as "three carp eats", "scallion grilled mutton", "fried eight pieces", and "carp noodles", and after setting up a table, the hearty lunch immediately made people appetize.
After the wine and the dishes were five flavors, several old men glanced at each other and put down the dishes and chopsticks one after another. Among them, the old man Zhu, who had the best relationship with Liu Dong, first said: "Liu Dong, I have something I want to ask your opinion?"
"What's the matter?
"Well, here's the thing. These days, when I talk to Lao Huo and them, everyone feels that those of us who like to collect are not very convenient in the exchange of collections. If it's in big cities like the capital and the magic capital, it's just that. If you have enough fun with an object that you want to communicate, in the case of a large number of Tibetan friends, it may not take much effort to communicate with the collection that you are satisfied with. But in third-tier cities, or even fourth-tier cities, antique collectors may not be so convenient!"
“…… Therefore, I have made a total of calculations with Lao Huo and his peers, and are ready to set up a special website for us Tibetan friends to communicate! Usually, everyone can exchange knowledge about collection appraisal on it, and at the same time, they can hang up objects that they have had enough fun with! I believe that with Tibetan friends from all over the country on it, the exchange of collections will definitely be more convenient than in the past! What do you think?"
"Yes, great, note! I couldn't agree more!"
To be honest, Liu Dong was still a little surprised after hearing this idea, it was rare that Mr. Zhu and they were all sixty or seventy years old, and they still knew how to keep pace with the times and introduce the emerging Internet into the ancient collection.
"Hehe, it's great if you agree with that! You also know that a few of us are experts in antique appraisal and collection, and this website only has a little understanding, not as good as you young people! So, if you are interested in this idea, you will take the lead, and we will give you a hand, what do you think?"
"Yes, Liu Dong, if you agree! My old man promises to listen to you! Whatever you want me to do, just give me a direct order!" Old man Huo echoed.
"Me too!"
Looking at the sincere look on the faces of the three elders, Liu Dong smiled, this was originally a good thing, and he naturally had no need to refuse.
"Several of them are my seniors, so I naturally won't shirk what you order. And if there is really this special collection website, it will also be beneficial to the healthy development of our collection industry. So, I agreed to it!"
"Hehe, I'll just say, Liu Dong will definitely agree to such a good thing!" Zhu Hongjun said with a smile.
Old Man Huo nodded with a smile on his face, "Liu Dong, although we don't know much about the website, we also know that it will cost a lot of money if it wants to continue to operate. So after the thing is done, let's sit together and talk about how much money it spent, and let's make it together!"
"It's this ceremony! Since it's a common idea for all of us, we always have to contribute money and efforts together!" Geng Mingchang agreed.
"No! Three elders, it doesn't cost much to set up a website! It just so happens that there are still a lot of empty rooms in the Yuanming Museum in Beijing, so I'll buy a few servers and put them there, and then find a few people to maintain them! We're not a commercial website, so there's no need to be so complicated...... Of course, if a few elders really want to help, it is better to mobilize your respective connections and attract people to the website!"
With the existence of the world's Internet giants such as Paper Communication Group, Liu Dong knows very well that in the Internet industry, traffic is the real king.
And to get traffic, you need enough popularity.
In addition, after listening to Zhu Lao and the others talk about this website, out of the essence of a businessman, Liu Dong thought of more in an instant.
If, in the end, this website is really as Zhu Lao said, and finally can pull all the antique lovers across the country into it. Its commercial value goes without saying. It is estimated that art auction institutions all over the world will not be stingy with money to advertise in it.
Moreover, as the director of the Yuanming Museum, he needs a large number of artworks to fill the museum's collection, and he can also rely on the first-mover advantage to collect his own artworks from all over the country.
I believe that the art acquired from this channel will definitely be much cheaper than the auction!
If you think about it from a broader perspective, the site will be able to expand to the whole world in the future. When the time comes, its influence will be even greater.
"Why didn't I think of it before? It seems that the phrase 'threesomes must have my teacher' is really very reasonable!" Liu Dong said in his heart.
"The website was originally conceived by a few of us together, so it's naturally no problem to pull people inside. But if you do all the things that you have to pay for, then we old guys will be too ashamed!" said Old Man Huo.
"Don't say that! Let's call this a rational division of labor! The key to setting up a website is to bring in all the people from all over the country who are good collectors to facilitate everyone's exchanges! If we want to do this, I will definitely not be able to. I'm only in my twenties, and I don't have as many connections in the antiques industry as my three predecessors. So, after thinking about it, it's better to give full play to my own advantages! It just so happens that I also have a few companies in my hands that are not small, and I am not short of money!"
"You're not a small company, it's all transnational!" Geng Mingchang said.
"So, let's do what we are good at, I will do the structure of the website, and a few seniors will do the publicity, and we will give full play to our strengths, which will also help our website to be established as soon as possible!"
"Okay! Since Liu Dong said so, let's listen to him with this old face!" Zhu Hongjun said.
"Well, it's just that I don't want to go!" said Old Man Huo.
"Since we feel guilty, let's work hard and pull more people for the website!" Geng Mingchang said.
"That's it!" Old Man Huo nodded, "By the way, Liu Dong, when will this website be built?"
"If it's fast, it's three days, and if it's slow, a week is enough!" Liu Dong said.
He has senior people under him who understand website architecture, and building a website is not a complicated task. Liu Dong said more for three days. If he really needs it urgently, maybe one night will be enough!
Compared to building a website, it is slightly more difficult to register, but of course this is not a problem for Liu Dong.
"It's only a week?"
Looking at the surprised expressions on the faces of the three old men, Liu Dong smiled: "Yes, it's actually very simple to build a website. The real difficulty is to build a website with industry influence! Therefore, the burden on the shoulders of the three seniors is not light!"
"Hehe, don't dare to say anything else! It must be right to leave the matter of pulling people to a few old men with us!"
"The website must always have a name, what is the name of our website?"
"Since it's a website about antique collections, why don't you call it Bogu Internet Cafe?" Huo Lao said after a little contemplation.
"Bogu.com?Yes, that's it!"
In the end, all four voted in favor of the name! )
