"By the way, what kind of museum is that?"

In the car, Wang Guan also casually sounded. After all, modern museums are generally more specialized, such as the Liangyi Museum in Hong Kong, which specializes in Ming and Qing dynasty furniture, as well as Western classical cosmetic boxes.

It's not that comprehensive museums are bad, but at the beginning, they must be special collections. And then slowly develop and grow, which is more in line with the law of development of things. Of course, if the owner is not a big tyrant who is not bad for money, spends money like dirt, and wantonly loots collections to fill the museum, then it is a different matter.

"It seems to be a museum of returnee porcelain."

At this time, Yu Feibai explained: "It seems that a certain patriotic overseas Chinese has been collecting porcelain all his life abroad, and when he is old, he feels that he should return to his roots, so he brings back the porcelain and establishes a museum." ”

"Hey, this is a new routine." Wang Guan smiled: "Generally speaking, shouldn't you donate things to the country?" ”

"It may be that there are too many people who feel that the gift is lost, and at most it is publicized for a few days, and everyone forgets about him. The establishment of a museum is different, as long as the museum does not fall, everyone knows that he is the founder. ”

"Makes sense......"

The two of them didn't laugh, but they genuinely thought the man was smart.

Life in the world is nothing more than chasing fame and fortune...... Well, it's the pursuit of material life, as well as spiritual enjoyment. This is the general demand of everyone after the development of society to a certain extent, and there is nothing to blame.

Someone asks for fame, which is a good thing, and if he wants to get a good name, he must do a lot of good things, so that everyone will praise each other, and this is how the reputation spreads. And it must be maintained carefully, and there can be no mistakes halfway, otherwise you will be accidentally "cheated" by your children. Most of his life's reputation was ruined.

From this point of view, it is more than 100 times more difficult to simply seek fame than profit. You need to tremble and walk on thin ice.

"Where is the museum built?"

At this time, seeing the familiar street, Wang Guan was a little surprised: "This seems to be the direction of Liulichang." ”

"Well, that's right, it's near the Liuli Factory." Yu Feibai said with a smile: "But don't worry, people are just for people to visit, and they don't sell things, so they don't pose any threat to you." ”

"Even if you sell something, there are many competitors in Liuli Factory. Not one worse than him. Wang Guan said casually, as the business of the Relic Pavilion flourished, his confidence became more and more sufficient. Originally, the purpose was to protect the capital, and it was only after a year of operation that it began to make a profit. I didn't expect to start making money from the first month of business.

The main reason for this is that the proportion of real things in the Relics Pavilion is relatively high, and there are many good things. Some connoisseurs can't afford to buy good things, so they always come to watch them, and they feel a little embarrassed. Naturally, you will buy the real thing. In this way, word of mouth is there, money is made, and business is naturally good.

Of course. The business can only be regarded as good, compared with the industry leader like Rong Bao Zhai, the turnover of the Relics Pavilion is still 108,000 miles. However, Wang Guan has this patience and confidence. In his lifetime, the relics pavilion has developed into a leading enterprise in the industry that is not inferior to Rong Bao Zhai.

However, this is a long time later, the journey of thousands of miles begins with a single step, and Wang Guan does not want to toss more. As long as you continue to operate in a down-to-earth manner, when the time comes, everything will naturally fall into place.

"It seems to have arrived."

Soon after, the car came to the vicinity of the Liuli factory, and after some searching, the two found the target. It was a commercial building, and the first, second and third floors had been rented and converted into a museum. At this time, a red cloth hangs from the huge signboard, which can be seen as long as you look up, and it is difficult to ignore it.

"Dongxu Museum!"

Wang glanced at the signboard and couldn't help but mutter: "Don't say the name of the signboard, this word is a little familiar." ”

“…… Normal. Yu Feibai squinted his eyes and looked at it, then nodded and said: "That is the handwriting of a famous calligrapher in the capital, do you remember the signboard of Zheng Yaxuan, it was written by the same person." ”

"Oh, it's him." Wang Guan suddenly smiled and said: "In this way, the pen fee for this signboard is quite a lot. ”

"People have a lot of money, so they don't have to be short of this money." While speaking, Yu Feibai beckoned: "Let's go, go in and have a look." It is said that it is returnee porcelain, and there should be something that can be used. ”

"If you dare to open a museum, things will definitely not be bad." Wang Guan smiled: "Otherwise, it will be you who will lose face." ”

Between words, the two walked towards the gate.

At this time, there are also security guards next to the gate, but it may be newly opened and needs enough popularity to prosper the house, so the museum does not sell tickets, and it is open for free for one day, so people can visit it at will.

I have to say that it may be that I am afraid of poverty, and the Chinese people can't hear the word free the most. Even if you are in the capital, you heard that the museum is free, whether you really appreciate the porcelain, or simply follow the flow to join in the fun, anyway, for a while, the vast museum is full of people and full of popularity.

"When it's free, it's definitely popular. But it's not free, and there is no means to win back the guests, so the gap is not ordinarily large. Yu Feibai whispered: "I don't know if the curator is mentally prepared for this." ”

"It's not your museum, what the hell are you doing?" Wang Guan said casually: "Whether you can make guests turn back, the key is to look at the quality of things......"

After the two walked into the museum, they immediately saw a notice pasted next to the door, which very humanely marked the specific situation of each exhibition hall, including the location of the bathroom.

"Hey, there is even export porcelain, and the collection is quite rich." Yu Feibai looked at it carefully, and it was rare to praise it.

Returnee porcelain is easier to understand, it is porcelain that has been returned from overseas. These porcelains were looted or sold exclusively to foreigners. Among them, the porcelain that is specially produced and sold to the outside world is the export porcelain.

Moreover, in order to take care of the taste of foreigners, the style of export porcelain is closer to the aesthetic taste of Westerners, which can be called a combination of Chinese and Western. Therefore, although there are a lot of foreign export porcelain, the price is also expensive. To some extent, the price of export porcelain is comparable to that of Ming and Qing official kiln porcelain, at least in Europe.

This is the cultural difference between the two, porcelain is not gold, silver and gemstone after all, and whether things are worth anything or not, mainly depends on its cultural added value. Culture is also divided into nationalities, and there are naturally fluctuations in prices.

Of course. Back to the origin, how much is the export porcelain worth, the key is quality.

"Whether it's a good thing or not, you need to see it to know."

At the right time, Yu Feibai waved his hand and said: "The exhibition hall is on the third floor, let's go up, there should be fewer people there." ”

"Hmm."

Wang Guan nodded lightly and followed the flow of people to the third floor. Luckily, this is a commercial building converted museum, and there are a few stairs to go up, otherwise. Everyone patronized and squeezed, but they couldn't move.

came to the third floor, which also proved that Yu Feibai's speculation was correct, most of the people who visited were concentrated on the first and second floors, but there were not so many people on the third floor. First, many people like to look from the beginning, layer by layer, and second, because most of these are export porcelain, which is not quite in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese people.

Of course, there are also people who like to hunt for curiosities. I felt that the export porcelain was very exquisite, so I stopped to admire it. It's just that compared to the lively crowd below, this place seems a little relaxed. However, it is also in line with Wang Guan and Yu Feibai's wishes, and they can visit easily.

"It's a good thing."

At this time. Yu Feibai's eyes swept over, and he immediately stopped, pointing to a porcelain pot with a rather peculiar shape and said with a smile: "This thing should be called a military holder, right?" ”

Wang Guan looked at the situation and saw that the neck of the thing was long and thin. The abdominal cavity is very plump, and the mouth is upturned, which is indeed an uncommon item. And the characteristics are very distinct. There is no handle on the body.

Such a thing is a water container, similar in function to the Chinese bottle purifier, which belongs to the utensils used by Muslims to wash their hands. It was probably introduced to China during the Sui and Tang dynasties, and later after careful firing by craftsmen, it was sold back to Arabia, and became a relatively popular export porcelain.

Speaking of which, this is also the process of cultural input and then output. For thousands of years, China has often done this, actively absorbing foreign cultures, then integrating with its own culture, and finally becoming its own, which in turn influences others. This is a proof of a strong country, which used to be a Chinese patent, but now it is being learned by Europe, America, Japan and South Korea.

"Then again, this thing is also available in China." Yu Feibai looked at it and said, "But most of them are in mosques in the northwest region, and they are rarely used by ordinary people. ”

"I don't have a handle, and when I take it, it's easier to break." Wang Guan said with a smile: "And when you take it, you need to hold it with both hands, which is more troublesome, or the Chinese are not used to it, and naturally cannot form the mainstream." ”

"Yes, to put it bluntly, it's lazy. What one hand can do, I definitely don't want to move the other. Yu Feibai nodded in agreement, and after a moment of appreciation, the target shifted.

Generally speaking, most of the export porcelain is a daily life utensil, and the other is something related to religion. The two of them visited all the way, only to see that all kinds of cups, plates, bottles and saucers are not only different in style from Chinese porcelain, but also on the porcelain ornaments are strange, the colors are very bright, full of exotic customs.

This exotic style, people who like it must appreciate it very much, but those who don't like it think it's very ordinary. Anyway, when the two of them visited the third floor, they also saw many people coming up from the second floor, but after turning around, they went down. Among them, there are naturally many people who are interested in export porcelain and also stay to visit.

However, the two noticed that the crowd on the third floor was more concentrated in the corner, and dozens of people surrounded the corner of the exhibition hall, as if they were watching something.

"Check it out."

Discovering this situation, Yu Feibai had no reason not to join in the fun. Wang Guan was also a little curious, so he naturally followed. When we got closer, we found that we were visiting a pair of large vases, which were more than one meter high, with an angular shape and a surface painted with Western-style ornamentation.

As we all know, it is more difficult to preserve large things, and they are easy to be bumped and damaged if they are not careful, not to mention oversized objects of more than one meter, which are higher than ordinary children, and the probability of being able to pass them on intact is also lower. Relatively speaking, it is definitely more precious...... (To be continued......)
