"Stingy! Don't worry, baby, didn't you listen to me to say it's Tao? The cheap ones are called Tao! Let's not buy the expensive ones! Xu Jing smiled, stroked Lin Zhen's bright face with her hand, and comforted her. Then he turned around and asked a few men, "You say, is it possible to find a hairpin or bracelet used by a noble concubine?" ”

"Yes!" Big Tooth reacted quickly and immediately replied, "This antique, those are all spiritual objects, people pick it, it also picks people!" The so-called good birds choose trees to perch, beautiful and lovely girls like you, the hairpin bracelet has to wait impatiently, just waiting for you to pick it up quickly! ”

Phew! Wu Chen had goosebumps when he heard this, this thing's skin is really getting thicker and thicker, is it okay to talk nonsense like this? Sure enough, I heard Lin Zhenha laughing, ridiculing the big tooth, did you fall in love with our big beauty?!

Aha, then it doesn't need to be said, Daya had a self-explanatory expression, and lifted Wu Chen by the way, "Wood, I'm right!" You're a master! ”

"Hmm. Yes. "Wu Chen said perfunctorily, if you want to act so evilly, don't think about the big tooth for the rest of your life, and when you see him, you probably would rather break yourself!" If you want to talk about shopping for things, it is indeed a matter of luck, and everything is possible. ”

"The probability is equivalent to walking on the road and being hit by a car three times in a row!" Li Xuezhi saw that they were excited, so he blurted out a sentence, and after he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to slap himself twice! What's wrong with me today? Was made by two little deflated people to have a sharp drop in IQ?

"You!" Xu Jing was so angry that her little face turned red, Lin Zhen hurriedly hugged her and comforted, "Okay, don't be angry, baby, he didn't mean it." ”

Wu Chen smiled secretly, he knew that people would make some unbelievable mistakes under pressure or in a certain atmosphere, and he didn't think much about himself, so he thought about diverting the topic, there are still a lot of small objects returned from overseas in the antique street in this area, maybe you can really meet the one you like.

"Since you are here, I definitely suggest that you buy some small antiques to go back, especially the more delicate porcelain, in addition to the new handicrafts made in Jingdezhen, there are still a lot of export porcelain or seafood from the sea that have returned from overseas, and it is not bad to bring it back and put it on the table, and it is also a certain collection value."

"Who are you fooling?" Li Xuezhi seemed to be out of his mind, ignoring Wu Chen's kindness at all, and said with a mockery: "Seafood is not worth much, as for export porcelain, it is not worth it, and the appreciation space is small, it is better to buy some handicrafts!" ”

"Uh......" Wu Chen's words were not entirely wrong, he thought about it for a while, and then said: "Relatively speaking, export porcelain is indeed relatively cheap now, but because of this, it may be a depression in the field of collection." ”

"When you say a depression, it's a depression?" Li Xuezhi said disdainfully, this kind of flat-headed boy knows what to invest! It's still a depression!

"Wait, what is export porcelain!" Xu Jing interrupted him unceremoniously and asked Wu Chen in a sneer.

"Export porcelain is porcelain sold to foreign countries, which is foreign trade!" Daya replied in a timely manner, now the Chaozhou area, known as the porcelain capital of Asia, is doing porcelain exports, mainly to Europe, Russia, Southeast Asia and Africa.

Export porcelain has become a pillar industry in the local area, and as a local, he still knows a little about these.

"Cut! I have a friend who makes porcelain customized abroad, and I know how cheap those porcelains are? To put it bluntly, it's no better than cabbage! Li Xuezhi said contemptuously, turned to Xu Jing after speaking, and said, "You want, turn around, I'll give you a few sets!" ”

"Hmm." Wu Chen didn't refute him, and Li Xuezhi was not wrong to say so. Wu Chen's previous unit, one of the main functions is industrial policy, naturally know that the ceramic industry, especially daily porcelain, fierce competition, foreign orders are difficult to accept, the price is pressed again and again, the net profit rate of the entire industry, has been maintained at about 2%, many manufacturers even every single must lose, mainly relying on export tax rebates, and other technical transformation funds to support, barely survive.

However, export porcelain and these, are still two concepts, it is necessary to distinguish them, Wu Chen considered and said: "The export porcelain mentioned in the antique shop generally refers to the porcelain used for foreign trade or exchange before the Republic of China, mainly there are two kinds of heirloom and shipwreck. ”

"Overall, these export porcelain, more exquisite than the same era of folk kiln porcelain, some or according to the needs of customers at that time, according to the pattern of special set fired porcelain, emblem porcelain, it can be said that this is a wonderful flower in China's ceramic products, some of the technical level, has reached a certain height, not inferior to the general kiln."

"Actually, it's just about looking at the process. There is a big reason why official kilns are sought after, that is, because the quality of official kiln products is better than that of private kilns! Although Daya doesn't understand this, he was helplessly pulled by Wu Chen to watch a few episodes of TV shows with adults, and on the big picture, he can still brag about it.

"Hmm." Wu Chen nodded, it was rare that this guy could still remember, "This export porcelain can be roughly divided into three categories in terms of variety: one is trade porcelain, which is used for trading and produced according to the market demand at that time; One is gift porcelain, as a gift for VIPs to greet and send off; One is the fixed firing porcelain, is a foreign drawing to sample, according to the requirements of customization, many European aristocratic families, have their own family logo, to China to burn a batch of porcelain with family emblems, for family use, this kind of porcelain by the family later generations sought after, the price is very high. ”

This large section is memorized, and he has seen little of the porcelain sold abroad, and many of them have never been seen, such as those fixed-fired porcelain, just remember the name, and even what it looks like, I don't know what it looks like.

However, this does not prevent him from strengthening his understanding of this variety through study, "From a historical perspective, export porcelain provides strong material evidence for the trade exchanges between the Chinese nation and the world, and it is worthy of in-depth research by archaeological, historical, socio-economic and other scholars to explore its value." ”

"Speaking of the sky, it's not a low-grade product!" Li Xuezhi and Wu Chen got married, and they couldn't afford to send good porcelain, so you just said it directly, why bother taking a bargain, you have to boast about it.

"It's relatively cheap, not low-grade! As I said earlier, some of them are not inferior to official kilns! Wu Chen actually didn't know that the auction price of some heraldic porcelain had long exceeded that of ordinary official kiln porcelain. Otherwise, if some examples are cited, facts are presented, and reasoning is added, the argument will be much more sufficient.

"Aha! As we all know, the export of porcelain in the domestic market is not good, the price is also low, the market price of domestic and foreign porcelain, less than half of the price of the same domestic porcelain. Li Xuezhi is not an insider, but it seems that he has also seen this kind of report.

Is this going to be carried to the death? Wu Chen is also nameless in his heart, his buddy has a good temper, but he is not muddy! At the moment, he unceremoniously retorted, "I think this is only a temporary phenomenon, with the continuous deepening of the research on foreign porcelain, experts, collectors, antique operators and the media, etc., will continue to increase the attention of foreign porcelain." Moreover, the number of Chinese collectors is large, and increasing year by year, although there is a lot of export porcelain, but after all, the number is limited, far from enough to increase the collection team year by year. Therefore, there is still a lot of room for appreciation in the future of export porcelain, and the day when the value of export porcelain is fully reflected will eventually come. ”

"Why are you looking at me like that?" After Wu Chen's tirade was finished, his throat was a little dry, and when he saw Lin Zhen and the others looking at him, he was suddenly a little inexplicable, could it be that he said something wrong?

"Wow, I don't see if you really have research." Xu Jing opened her mouth exaggeratedly, and praised without hesitation.

"He's just not doing his job!" Lin Zhen said with a smile, that look was not so much criticism as pride, and it made Li Xuezhi's heart tense for a while!

"We're preparing to open an antique shop now, and that's the right business!" Big Tooth said triumphantly, Wu Chen's face was shining, and he was also proud!

"Open an antique shop?!" Lin Zhen also looked at Wu Chen a little shocked, this is also a bit too big, right? And although she doesn't understand, she has also heard that the water in it is deep!

"Hehe, fooling around, in the early days, it was mainly based on contemporary crafts." Wu Chen nodded, and said honestly, it has just opened, and there are not so many antiques for them to toss.

"That's a lot of money, right? I heard that the prices of some of the works of some masters are not cheap! Lin Zhen glared at Wu Chen with some complaint, this pig's head, I can't wait to bite him! I didn't even tell myself about such a big thing.

"Hehe, it's not much, let's get together with a few people, let's start small. As for the works of contemporary masters, this one contains a lot of political economy, and we will not discuss this. After Wu Chen finished speaking, he changed the topic, and slapped him with a sycophant, who said that if you want to chase girls, please her best friend first, it is a fast and effective shortcut, "Don't patronize talking, take a look, the birthday girl is lucky, you may be able to find something you like." ”

Sure enough, Xu Jing snorted twice, and her slightly ruddy lips hooked a good-looking arc, showing the unique charm of women to the fullest.

Wu Chen's eyes moved, his gaze stagnated for a moment, and then he quickly swept away, and when he saw Lin Zhen's very unkind eyes, he shuddered!

Big Tooth paid the bill as usual, and everyone went outside together.

At this time, the sun has turned west, obliquely shining on the antique buildings on both sides, emitting this golden light, but it does not shine on Xiguan Street.

At this time, walking on both sides of the wide avenue, it is not hot and dry, the flow of people who wander around is gradually increasing, people come and go, everywhere you can see couples walking hand in hand, children playing and playing and nearby households returning home from the market, under the afterglow of the sunset, it is full of leisurely and cheerful taste.

Wu Chen seemed to be infected by this atmosphere, his mood was relaxed, and the unhappiness caused just now also dispersed, he was not a person who cared about it in the first place, he only sighed at the moment that life was so beautiful, where would he still remember those trivial things.

Xu Jing and others were also smiling, and when they saw the stalls on the roadside to buy snacks, they walked over to buy food.

Wandering all the way, Wu Chen smiled bitterly, this has nothing to do with porcelain half a dime, if it goes on like this, dinner can be saved, but he saw that the two girls were not afraid of obesity, and they ate bravely all the way, but it was also very relaxed and comfortable.
