Chapter 115: Fueling the Flames (Part II)

If you put it 20 years ago, when the collection of ancient coins was not hot, copper coins were piled up at the thrift recycling market and waste recycling station. ^//^ At that time, collectors of ancient coins were undoubtedly happy, a dime and a copper coin, and if they were left to choose, the chance of missing was countless times higher than it is now.

Qian Zhengtai is a very typical example, this old man began to collect ancient coins as early as thirty or forty years ago, at that time there was a huge vacancy in the market, as long as you pay attention to the collection, it is not difficult to find the genuine.

It is no exaggeration to say that Qian Zhengtai's collection of copper coins in his early years is now a very considerable wealth, and if he is personally willing, he will sell all the copper coins, and their value will definitely exceed 100 million.

However, that wonderful era of collecting has long passed, and the current market for ancient coins is not only limited to fine products, but also full of a large number of fakes, and it is becoming more and more difficult to find leaks.

Because of this, there is often such a scene in the ancient coin market, where ancient coins are often unearthed, and ancient coin collectors will drive over, not picking, and directly packing and taking away.

This practice is already a gamble, and the risk of betting on whether there will be high-quality products is also very large. However, even then, there are often cases of looting.

However, few people in Panjiayuan will do this, because most of the stall owners in Panjiayuan will screen it first, plus other Taoke picks and chooses, how many high-quality products can be left? Therefore, using this method in Panjiayuan is obviously too risky.

Qin Xuebing was also hesitating, it didn't cost much to buy these copper coins, but he came to Panjiayuan to enjoy the fun of picking up leaks, and he didn't want to be eyed in this pile of copper coins.

Qin Xuebing squatted down and grabbed a handful of copper coins, most of which were five emperor coins, copper coins from the Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, and Jiaqing periods, so he shook his head and said, "Boss, how long have you taken out your copper coins?" ”

"Little brother. To tell you the truth, my copper coins are not for those who pick up leaks, but for new players. The stall owner said with a smile.

"New players?" Qin Xuebing couldn't understand. When did the ancient coin collectors split into old players and new players?

"It can't be said to be a new player, it should be said to be a new way to play." The stall owner talked about the fact that the use of bronze coins to make handicrafts has recently become popular in the market, expanding the new market for ancient coins.

For example, the copper coins containing the Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, and Jiaqing periods are strung together. Implying five blessings; Copper coins from the Kangxi, Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang, Xianfeng, Tongzhi and Guangxu periods are strung together, implying that the seven stars shine high; Copper coins from the Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang, Xianfeng, Tongzhi, Guangxu and Xuantong periods are strung together, implying perfection. *.

Now this kind of handicraft is very popular in the market, some people will take it back and hang it in the living room, room, car, and some people will hang it directly on their wrist. Bo a kind head.

"I've seen it for a long time, then I want all of these, boss, you can make a price, let's go back and get some handicrafts to sell." Qin Xuebing had already made up his mind, since the stall owner had already qualified the goods, he would not make a random price. Moreover, he also has a certain chance of missing out.

"If the little brother really wants it, then I'll make a real price. Ten thousand. The stall owner held up a finger.

"Your price is honest!" Qin Xuebing sneered. This pair of copper coins lasted less than 2,000 yuan, most of them only cost one or two yuan, and some even no one even asked for them, and a fool would only pay 10,000 yuan.

"Little brother, what do you think, if these copper coins are processed into handicrafts. If you don't say anything, you can sell it for 20,000 or 30,000 yuan If you really want it, I'll give you another thousand. "The stall owner has figured it out. Five or ten of these copper coins are strung together, and it is certainly not a problem to buy twenty or thirty yuan. If you make it by hand, the price will be higher.

"You can figure it out, but do you include costs, labor, and sales? Three thousand at most. Qin Xuebing laughed, handicrafts, they are called handicrafts when they are made, can they be sold as handicrafts with raw materials?

"That's not possible, who can be sure if there are good things here, at least eight thousand." The stall owner selectively forgets what he has said before.

"Eight thousand, it's a bit expensive, unless you give me a head." Qin Xuebing pointed to the things on the stall, there was indeed an old gadget. Originally, he was going to buy the copper coins first and then buy them, but now he simply walked in together.

"Cheng, take your pick!" The stall owner doesn't care, his goods are clear to him, they are all worthless things, and they are all used to fool the layman.

"That's it." Qin Xuebing paid the money, then picked up a white porcelain Pixiu from the stall, and then packed up his things and left.

Lu Zigang's white jade teapot opened the eyes of many jade merchants to business opportunities, and another press conference added fuel to the fire and made the treasure even more prosperous.

This is a press conference in the entertainment industry, Hua Tianwang and Director Lao Wu attended, facing reporters, Hua Tianwang showed the charm of the open-air king, smiled and said: "I think you should have guessed, I attended with Director Lao Wu, and I must announce the filming of a new film, but what about the theme and content of the new film?" ”

Hua Tianwang stretched out his hand to pull away the banner behind him, and there were only three words on it, treasure map. The reporters immediately became excited, and one of them stood up and asked, "King Huatian, is the treasure map the treasure that has been in a uproar recently?" ”

"The treasure unearthed let me see almost it, and we will let more people know about the treasure and understand the Chinese civilization through the movie."

Hua Tianwang sang in a high tone, completely from the standpoint of culture: "As soon as I communicated this matter with Director Lao Wu, Director Wu immediately expressed his willingness to serve as the chief director of the film, and if you have any questions next, you can ask Director Lao Wu." ”

"Hello Director Wu, what motivates you to take on this film?" The reporter immediately asked.

"There are many reasons, first of all, as a filmmaker, we have the responsibility to present Chinese culture through the screen, and bring Chinese culture out of the door so that more people can understand it. Secondly, treasure hunting has always been a good theme, and this time it is a real treasure hunt theme, and I want to show it through the screen, which will inevitably be welcomed by the audience. ”

Speaking of this, Director Lao Wu paused before continuing: "Of course, from a director's point of view, what we are most afraid of is poor shooting, because of insufficient funds, many scenes cannot be presented according to the concept. This time, I don't need to worry about this, because the investor has provided me with enough money, and I can make an ideal film according to my own ideas. ”

"How much money did the investor provide?" The reporter bought it and asked along the topic.

"Seven hundred million!" Director Lao Wu stunned the reporters with two simple words, 700 million, that is not 7 million 70 million, that represents the highest investment in domestic films.

"Yes, 700 million, the funds have all arrived." Director Wu said solemnly.

"Director Lao Wu, with an investment of 700 million, it takes at least 1.5 billion at the box office to recover the cost, do you think this movie can make money?" The reporters immediately thought of another film with an investment of 600 million, but it only got 600 million at the domestic box office, and the overseas distribution was not smooth, and the loss was a mess.

"If I hadn't had faith, I wouldn't have made this film; Without confidence, investors would not have been able to spend so much money. "Director Lao Wu is full of confidence, this is a hot topic, and he has sufficient funds, he has no reason not to be confident.

"Director Wu, what kind of movie will you make "Treasure Map"?"

"This has to be kept secret, but I can tell you a good news, Hua Tianwang is not only one of the investors of the film, but also the starring role of the film."

The press conference didn't have much substance, just announced three contents, "Treasure Map" is about to start filming, director Lao Wu directed Hua Tianwang to star, and the investment amount is as high as 700 million. But that's enough, and while the treasure is all the rage, such a piece of information is enough to attract widespread attention.

Director Wu's fans went crazy, and Hua Tianwang's fan team was also crazy, and they began to reprint this information frantically on the Internet, and tens of millions of people knew about it within a few hours. Moreover, the timeliness of network communication is relatively long, with the characteristics of rolling transmission, and over time, more people will know about these news.

And for a film that is still in preparation, it is enough to be able to do this.

"What a good theme, it's going to be ruined again!" Fans who lost confidence in domestic blockbusters began to pour cold water on the Internet, citing various domestic blockbusters, listing "Treasure Map" as an impossible film, and its biggest function is to stink the jade coffin together.

"The domestic blockbuster that was revealed! First of all, Director Lao Wu is indeed a master of making blockbusters, and secondly, the investment is generous, and the integration is more than 100 million US dollars, which is completely comparable to Hollywood blockbusters in terms of amount, as long as the plot does not rot, it is entirely possible to create a classic blockbuster.

Of course, for a film that is still in preparation, whether it is praise or scolding, as long as it can increase exposure, it is good. To really attract fans to the cinema, it needs post-publicity and excellent quality.

"Brother, is this white porcelain Pixiu really an antique?" Qin Xiaoxiao was playing with the white porcelain Pixiu, feeling that the stirrups of this thing were new and shiny, more like they had just been fired out of the kiln.

"This white porcelain Pixiu should be produced in the Republic of China, the shape is not good, the workmanship is average, and it is a miracle that it can be sold for hundreds of yuan." Qin Xuebing has some understanding of Pixiu, in terms of Pixiu's shape, the head should be slightly to the left, or slightly to the right, which is a popular collection, like this kind of straight head, it is not popular.

"Then you still buy it?" Qin Xiaoxiao was puzzled.

Qin Xuebing took Qin Xiaoxiao to a place where no one was, picked up the white porcelain Pixiu and smashed it lightly on the ground, and the white porcelain Pixiu suddenly shattered, revealing a black thing, as black as paint.

PS: The boss is going crazy again, hey...... In a small company, the position is not clear, and the physiognomist goes in to do editing, and the result is that everything is done, such as planning, meager and Taobao store product descriptions. Then today the boss asked me to contact Taobao customers and distributors, fainted, and turned into sales, which is also too confusing. I couldn't stand it anymore and left my job.

When I called home, I was told again, so speechless. I can only change two shifts today, and I have to get my resume right in the evening and look for a job again. ()
