Chapter 1154: It's hard to get back
Before Chen Chengzhi made a move, Shan Liancheng couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Chen, this thing is so valuable, why don't you keep it?" ”
"Hehe, this thing has a relationship with you. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info However, don't think you've earned it, this thing is special, and I'm also used to practice. If it is repaired, you can bear it! Chen Chengzhi responded, "However, don't worry too much, the success rate is still very high." ”
"If I can't repair it, I'll smelt the copper and the things I harvested from the melons and dates." Shan Liancheng has long been conquered by the "profound" words that Chen Chengzhi said. He felt that Chen Chengzhi couldn't fix it at all!
Shan Liancheng was originally a coppersmith, and he had all the tools at home. Chen Chengzhi also asked him to ask for some bristles from the pig farmers in the village, and with wooden handles, he made a few brushes of different sizes by hand.
This piece of quilt pattern, Chen Chengzhi has been repairing it for a week. After finishing the work, Shan Liancheng was completely stunned, where can you see the slightest trace of repair! This is clearly a complete and exquisite cultural relic! For a while, Chen Chengzhi was shocked.
At the same time, there are still some bronze fragments that cannot be smelted in the family of Shan Liancheng, through these things, Chen Chengzhi also studied them by the way, and also expanded his knowledge of the rust color of Shan Liancheng.
Shan Liancheng has a technical foundation, but he doesn't understand the antique and old-fashioned bronze, and this week has made him have a reborn transformation. At the same time, he also developed an incomparable interest in ancient bronzes.
In the end, he set down the banquet and begged Chen Chengzhi to accept him as an apprentice!
Chen Chengzhi didn't agree, "Liancheng, let's meet in Pingshui, it can be regarded as fate, I teach you so much, it's purely out of interest." My mentor categorically can't tell you, and I don't want to take in apprentices. If you really want to learn, I'll give you a few books, and you can buy them at a bookstore in the city or province and study them well. ”
Chen Chengzhi said that several books are about the history and ornamentation of bronzes.
Shan Liancheng begged hard, but Chen Chengzhi insisted on refusing, but he seemed to like Shan Liancheng very much, and when he left, he left a sentence: If there is difficulty in the future, you can find him, but whether you can find it depends on the creation.
Moreover, Chen Chengzhi also warned Shan Liancheng: Now the situation of antiques has shown signs of improvement, and it will not be long before there will be a trend of popularity. This craft will be the craft of making a fortune at that time. I don't expect you to do nothing, but I hope you don't do more than one a year, otherwise, it may be a disaster.
To confuse the real with the false, to trap people and harm others, if you don't do it, it seems to be the best. But Chen Chengzhi is originally a person in the rivers and lakes, and he has no taboo on this. And he also understood that it was impossible for Shan Liancheng, so he retreated to the next best thing and set a limit.
It's just that Chen Chengzhi didn't expect that the development of things not only exceeded his expectations, but also exceeded Shan Liancheng's expectations. This so-called fate actually made Langyan Village a village of high-imitation bronzes.
After Chen Chengzhi left, Shan Liancheng did not immediately make a move, and spent two years studying bronzes. At the same time, he also brought his nephew to join. His nephew is a high school graduate. Originally, the grades were very good, but when the college entrance examination was about to begin, my father died, and my mother was seriously ill and bedridden, so she had to take a leave of absence from school. The pot is often not opened at home, and there is usually a lot of help in a single city.
His nephew was ingenious, and most importantly, he knew more than Shan Liancheng, and had good grades in chemistry and history, which was also a good aid in the production of bronzes.
Two years later, Shan Liancheng sold Kui Wenqi and made a profit. The two uncles and nephews started to do it. At first, they collected broken bronzes and repaired them and sold them, and later they simply made high-imitation bronzes.
In the first year, Shan Liancheng also followed Chen Chengzhi's admonition and only sold a high imitation. However, the next year, a bronze tripod he made was sold for a large price, and from this he went to the city and the provincial capital to open the way, and this greed could not be controlled.
Visit museums, study antiquities atlases, and browse the burgeoning antique market. Shan Liancheng's business became more and more sophisticated, and in the end, it was not only fake and real, but also learned a lot of tricks. For example, bury the finished bronzes in the ground in advance, make a game to attract antique dealers, and dig them out in front of them. Another example is to put it at the house of an acquaintance in a neighboring village after it is done, and pretend to take the needle and lead it to buy it.
When the county magistrate's monthly salary had not risen to 1,000, a bronze mirror of good quality made by him could already be sold for more than 1,000 yuan.
Later, some customers from the south and even Hong Kong Island came, knowing that it was a high-quality imitation, and they also spent a lot of money to receive the goods.
More and more people are coming to Langyan Village. Eventually, the villagers knew what was going on. The villagers did not feel dishonored, but began to "ask for advice" from Shan Liancheng, and at the same time began to study the materials and albums of bronzes.
There is also a young man who works in the county, using the mold turning technology he learned in the factory, and then studying the "lost wax method" of the ancients, joining the team of Shan Liancheng to develop large-scale bronzes. The things made are upgraded from a few catties to dozens of catties to hundreds of catties.
In the 90s, the antique market began to heat up, and by the end of the 90s, there were nearly 100 bronze processing workshops in Langyan Village.
At that time, the price of brass was about five yuan a catty, and the cost of making two or three catties of bronze was only a dozen yuan, but it was sold casually, which was hundreds or thousands. And the things that are connected to the city are especially sought-after and the price is higher.
In fact, to make an antique bronze, it takes dozens of processes to calculate it carefully, but driven by money, coupled with the fact that Shan Liancheng hinders the face of the villagers, I am not too embarrassed not to point out, and a large number of villagers have studied it thoroughly.
At the same time, there are also some foreign people who understand technology and market to join. In addition, what paraffin, paint, sandpaper and other "supporting suppliers" have also appeared. A bronze industry chain with villagers as the main body of "R&D and manufacturing" took shape in such a village.
Chen Chengzhi's words have been left behind by Shan Liancheng.
The more money is made, the more money is made, but at this time, Shan Liancheng encountered the first hurdle.
The police came to the door.
Since it is a high imitation, after the antique dealer takes it away, he will definitely continue to sell, and it will be rotated several times in the middle. In the end, there was a leak, and the police were arrested for selling cultural relics. It was not difficult to touch the melons along the vine, and the police came to find Shan Liancheng, and also discovered the industrial chain of Langyan Village.
Among them, it is the most famous in Shan Liancheng, and it is never "wholesale", I heard that he also dug out cultural relics from the ground and sold them. Therefore, the focus of the police investigation is naturally him.
