Seeing Liu Lao and Meng Zhiguo leaving, Zhou Xuexue and others also left together, Li Rui called a taxi at the door of the hotel and went back to the hotel to rest.

Not.

Li Rui sat in the car holding a pair of baggage bottles, carefully reviewing today's harvest, and felt very satisfied. Although he didn't buy many treasures when he returned to the antique street for the second time, and his desire to wipe off his debts was disappointed, Li Rui was not disappointed at all, because he got acquainted with Liu Lao, Meng Zhiguo and other five people. After making friends with the predecessors of the antique shop, he can be regarded as a preliminary entry into the antique circle, and he is no longer a lone wolf fighting alone.

"I don't know what kind of famous teacher Liu Lao introduced?" Li Rui looked forward to it.

After a conversation at the wine table, his mind also changed, and he realized the importance of mentorship, and the system could instill all kinds of connoisseurship knowledge and experience in him, but it could not lead him into the inner circle of the antique shop. Without a famous teacher as a backer, it is difficult to be recognized even if he is reckless, and his ability is strong, let alone competing for the right to speak in the industry.

Maybe.

Many people will wonder.

Playing collection is not an official, the system is in hand, the eyesight and financial resources are strong, and the baby is directly bought and bought, what is the use of fighting for the right to speak?

First of all, if the circle recognizes you as a person and your connoisseurship, your collection will be valued, and even come with a certain value bonus.

Auction companies often organize special auctions for the collections of famous collectors, such as Ullens and Goro Sakamoto, etc., which are more likely to be sought after and bid by buyers, and even create auction records. Because Ullens and Goro Sakamoto are both widely recognized world-renowned collectors, their collections have a high fidelity rate and a large number of fine products. The risk of collecting is low, and the more expensive ones are sought after by many buyers.

Li Rui collects antiques, and it is impossible to keep all the collections piled up in a dark vault, and when the time is ripe, a batch of collections will inevitably be released. If he can be widely recognized, it will be easy to change hands, and he can even do a 'Li Rui special auction' like Ullens and Goro Sakamoto, and gain fame and fortune.

In addition, industry experts, collectors, antique dealers, etc. often organize exchange meetings, and the exquisite collections are taken out to appreciate and be praised, and it is natural to be proud of being the owner. If you don't get recognition, you can't even know where the door is.

At last.

Li Rui, who is in the system, will collect more and more fine antiques, and it is difficult for him to predict how rich he will be. Stacked in the warehouse, it is undoubtedly a waste of resources and a pearl of dust. The best place to stay is to set up a private museum to attract more people to see it.

However, there is one point, not all of them are genuine, and there are many collections in museums around the world that have been questioned, and even the Mona Lisa, the treasure of the Louvre, is suspected of being a fake.

If it is not recognized and has no right to speak, Li Rui will recklessly prepare for the construction of the museum, where it will affect the interests of some people, regardless of whether it can be successfully approved, even if it is successfully opened, the collection will have to withstand the test.

Naturally, things are fine, but it's people who test it!

Experts don't need to denigrate, as long as you keep silent, there will naturally be a large number of fake brick makers who will come forward and accuse your collection of being all fakes and a pile of garbage. For the sake of profit, some people can even sell their own father and mother, let alone say a few words with no conscience.

It may be a little sensational, but that's the reality.

Past.

It is often heard that folk collectors have collected antiques for a lifetime, and all of them are imitations after expert identification. But is it really all rubbish? Not necessarily!

Because it's not over.

The antiques identified as fakes by the brick family, but there are strangers to buy, and they take the initiative to come to the door to buy, of course, the price will not be high, fake.

What is hidden behind this, anyone with a little brain can guess a thing or two. But it's a fan of the authorities, collecting treasures for a lifetime, the brick family said that they are all fakes, and the collector was hit with no skin and lost his soul...... It's rare that someone is willing to buy it, so sell it.

……

So.

You don't have the right to speak, the quality of things depends on the brick family, and what price the original intention is to give you, it depends on the mood of the brick family at the time.

Good things don't always sell at a good price!

These are all things that Li Rui gradually realized by combining the wine table conversation and the news of his previous life, and they may be just the tip of the iceberg......

"Little brother, is this the antique you bought in the cultural relics store?" the driver looked through the rearview mirror and looked at Li Rui holding a pair of bottles, and said with a smile.

"Cultural relics store?" Li Rui was stunned.

Syllable.

Li Rui, who came to his senses, slapped his thigh violently, secretly scolding himself for being stupid, after getting the identification skills, he was bent on going to the antique market to pick up leaks, and he didn't think about the antique store at all. In my previous life, I often heard the news that so-and-so picked up a few hundred yuan in the antique market, and it may have been affected by some means.

In the previous life, antique shops were not authentic, fakes were everywhere, and even simply sold dog meat on sheep's heads, and directly sold modern handicrafts as antiques.

But.

It's different now.

There are almost no private antique shops, and the cultural relics shops in various places are state-owned enterprises under the command of the Cultural Relics Bureau, and I dare not say that the antiques sold are all genuine, but the authenticity rate is definitely extremely high.

"Yes, I run a car every day, and I often meet bosses like you who go to cultural relics stores by car, most of them are from Hong Kong and Treasure Island, and there are also many foreigners. The driver explained. I'm also bored when I sit in the car all the time, and I'm willing to talk more when I meet passengers who are easy to talk.

Well.

Li Rui nodded understandingly, the cultural relics store was originally aimed at foreigners, overseas Chinese, and was used to earn foreign exchange, and it was gradually opened to domestic collectors in the mid-eighties. However, the domestic economy is backward, and there are not many collectors with strong purchasing power, and the main force is still foreigners.

In the past life, many antiques were sold and auctioned in foreign markets, and many people were saddened by the loss of countless national treasures. Cultural relics stores have been in business for decades, all over the country's cities and counties, and no one can count how many antiques they sell. Maybe someone knows it, but it won't be mentioned.

There are regulations on what cultural relics stores can sell and what they can't sell, but it is people who enforce the regulations, and in order to earn foreign exchange and make political achievements, there will be some adaptations in various localities. In addition, the level of cultural relics researchers varies from place to place, and it is not uncommon for them to look away.

No one knows how many treasures have been lost from the artifact shop!

"Brother driver, you are familiar with the road of the cultural relics store, send me around. Suddenly noticing the cultural relics store, Li Rui naturally couldn't be indifferent.

"Now turn around?" the driver was surprised.

"Yes. ”

Li Rui smiled and nodded.

"It's not going to happen at this time, the antiquities store has long since closed for work. It's not like the antique street, where people set up stalls day and night......"

Oh.

Li Rui suddenly woke up to the fact that the cultural relics store is a state-owned enterprise unit, and it is a monopoly industry, and he will leave when he arrives, but he has no awareness of overtime operation.

Looks like we'll have to go back tomorrow.
