Chapter 642: Returning with a full load
Jin Muchen stared at these terracotta figurines non-stop, he really didn't have much contact with this thing before, but these terracotta figurines in front of him were really full of beauty.
Although he didn't have much contact with the terracotta figurines before, he still knew the origin of this thing.
In fact, this thing has been there as early as the Warring States Period, and it is also a kind of burial goods, at the earliest, our ancestors were still using living sacrifices, and when a high-ranking person died, his wife and concubine or the maid of the family would be regarded as funeral goods.
However, some people later felt that this was inhumane, so they chose to use terracotta figurines for burial.
The first person to use terracotta figurines on a large scale for burial should be the famous Qin Shi Huang, whose funeral goods are now famous terracotta warriors.
Later, especially after the Han Dynasty, the use of terracotta figurines for burial became very popular, and almost every generation of dead kings would use a large number of terracotta figurines to accompany the burial.
This trend has continued to several later dynasties, so the terracotta figurines, as long as there is circulation in the market now, almost all belong to the category of tomb goods.
This thing we Chinese generally don't like to collect, after all, it is a funerary object dug up from the tomb of the dead, and it is different from other gold, silver and jade that accompany the burial, so our Chinese people are generally more taboo.
But foreign devils are different, these guys are cold, even mummies can get a family to go to Xinsang, not to mention a few terracotta figurines?
Therefore, this thing has a very wide market overseas, and Jin Muchen has seen foreigners buy this thing abroad before, so it can't be said that he has never been exposed to it at all.
However, he himself was not very interested in this thing. But Sister Peach, who is familiar with the taste of foreign devils, is different. Such terracotta figurines. It's not the same as the porcelain I've seen in Lu Zhengguo before.
Those porcelain are exquisitely shaped, and because they are high imitations, the prices are not cheap, but this terracotta figurines are different.
Although it is good, the price will definitely not be so expensive, and once you get to the United States, the price will go up.
So when Sister Tao saw these terracotta figurines, her eyes lit up.
"Hey, hey. Two bosses, you really have an eye. These terracotta figurines are amazing, they are high imitations that I carefully made, and the shape or something, it can be said that they are absolutely exactly the same as the real thing. ”
As soon as Lao Wei saw Jin Muchen and Sister Tao staring at these two terracotta figurines, he also moved his mind and began to praise his terracotta figurines.
And when Jin Muchen heard this, his heart was also moved: "What? Are your terracotta figurines exactly according to the original, 100% of the specifications? ”
"Isn't that right? A few days ago, Lao Qin in Beishantou Village made a large tomb in the Northern Wei Dynasty. I made a batch of terracotta figurines. I was interested in this thing, so I went to see it. I finally persuaded the guy to let me take a picture, and when I came back, I copied it in a one-to-one ratio, but I was useless. ”
When Lao Wei said this, there was still a bit of pride in his eyes.
Seeing him like this, Jin Muchen also knew that this guy was not lying, but he was stunned in his heart, some time ago, he actually robbed a tomb from the Northern Wei Dynasty here, and it was a pity that he didn't catch up.
"Boss, I want all the terracotta figurines at your level."
Jin Muchen is still pondering there, and Sister Tao has already taken care of all these terracotta figurines, and she plans to cover all five.
"Eh, all five?"
Old Wei Le's mouth was cracked to his ears, and Sister Tao nodded: "Well, I want it!" ”
"Forehead ......"
Lao Wei seemed to think of something again, and suddenly paused at this time, and then continued.
"It's not okay to have all five, so let's give you four, and I'll keep one for myself."
"Huh? Why, did Lao Wei's family not give money? ”
Li Lao Liu was also stunned when he heard him say this at this time, it was not easy to meet such a bold patron as Jin Muchen and them, this old Wei was so good, he actually took it, wouldn't this not give him face?
"Hey! That's right, some time ago I had a regular customer who knew that I was copying this thing, so he ordered one with me. Sixth, two bosses, don't be embarrassed for me, I promised others, so ......"
Unexpectedly, this Lao Wei is still a guy who keeps his promises, since he said so, Jin Muchen and Sister Tao are not good at being forced, so they can only nod and agree.
You can't take all five, but you can take four.
Because Li Lao Liu was here, this Lao Wei was not embarrassed to take the two of them under the knife, and in the end, he asked them for 20,000 yuan for these four terracotta figurines, with an average of 5,000 yuan each.
This price is also reasonable, because according to Jin Muchen's understanding, the price of this terracotta figurine has been growing slowly in the domestic market in recent years.
Although this thing is not quite the appetite of our domestic collectors, but in recent years, the domestic collection market is too hot, according to incomplete statistics, there are millions of professionals who play collection in China, and there are almost 80 million people who play collection in China.
In addition, in the past few years, the domestic collection market has been too hot, and the prices of various types of collections have been rising almost every year.
It is precisely because of this market that it has also attracted many people who do not know much about collecting to enter this industry, which has led to the oversaturation of the collector market.
After all, there are only so many good things, and those who enter this circle early have already scavenged almost all the good things, and those who come in later, if they want to find something to collect, can only start from the original unpopular collection category.
So in recent years, this pottery has gradually become popular.
The most popular is, of course, some of the older ones, pottery products for daily life, after all, there was no special porcelain in China before the Jin Dynasty, so even the emperor's relatives used pottery before that.
Therefore, at that time, the pottery with beautiful works was very valuable.
It is precisely because of the popularity of those pottery products, even with the price of pottery figurines began to rise all the way, according to Jin Muchen's understanding, in recent years, the price of those pottery for daily use has risen by about ten to twenty times.
And the price of funerary figurines, which were not very popular before, have also risen by more than five to ten times.
Of course, although it has risen a lot, in fact, the total price is between 100,000 and 500,000, after all, this thing is not the type that our Chinese people mainly like.
The main thing is that the value of archaeology is more, and the value of the collection depends on personal taste.
Of course, if you get it abroad, this price will have to be exchanged for dollars, after all, foreigners have good teeth, and collecting things has always been cold.
Therefore, these exquisitely made terracotta figurines of Lao Wei are priced at 5,000 each, which is really not high, and even has a bit of a friendly sale, if it weren't for Li Laoliu's face, it is estimated that he would have to sell them at least 10,000 each.
Let these pottery figurines be loaded and sent back to the Li family, Jin Muchen and Sister Tao are almost the same days of Taobao in Nanshishan Village, and this time they came here as an accident and encountered a bumper harvest.
Especially Jin Muchen, who picked up a big bargain and collected a lot of fragments of Doucai porcelain, which has now been almost repaired in his space.
The rest of the porcelain used by King Fu, he was really not very interested, and planned to take it to the capital to sell it to Wang Xueming, which could be regarded as selling him face.
As for Sister Tao, she has collected a lot of good things, and almost all of the guys she has collected are genuine products that can be faked and genuine, if these things are taken abroad, it is enough to fool those foreign devils, and the profits must be hundreds or thousands of times up.
stayed at Li's house for another night, and the two got up early the next morning to say goodbye to the Li family and left the Li family.
Sister Tao doesn't plan to stop yet, she plans to do a big deal this time, after all, she ran away from Xiangjiang before, and her account over there has been frozen by the police, and most of her life's savings have been wasted.
This time to the United States, she had to bring something more to go over and make a comeback, so she planned to move on to the next place to find what she wanted.
However, Jin Muchen didn't plan to continue to wander with her, and being with her along the way could be regarded as an eye-opener for him, and he saw many domestic centers for counterfeiting and selling.
Although he also wanted to continue to follow, he suddenly received a call from Wang Xueming two days ago, telling Jin Muchen that Wang Xueming had returned to the capital and wanted to meet him, so Jin Muchen planned to go directly to the capital at the next stop.
He made an appointment with Sister Tao, and when Sister Tao finished receiving the goods this time, the two met in the capital, and then parted ways at the highway intersection, he got a car for Sister Tao, and asked Sister Tao to collect the goods by herself, and he himself drove the broken bread full of good things and went directly to the capital.
I went to the capital to find a hotel to settle down, and as soon as I settled down, Wang Xueming arrived.
"Haha, brother, you just came back from going there, yo he, what is this, quickly take it out and show it to me."
As soon as he entered Jin Muchen's suite, Wang Xueming's eyes were attracted by the bottles and cans that Jin Muchen placed in the middle of the suite.
Recently, he has relied on national policies, but he has made a lot of money, and the more money he has, the more he wants to find a suitable channel for maintaining value.
Billions of funds, in addition to some in the company to maintain the company's operation, but there is also a large amount of funds, lying on the bank's account.
The stock market is now unreliable, the foreign exchange market is even more chaotic, and the economies of European countries are not very reliable, and the United States is also looking at mysteries, so if you want to find a way to preserve the value of this money, you really have to think about some other ways.
Real estate is in a recession now, and if you think about it, the only way to buy some antiques is to buy it. (To be continued.) )
