Chapter 1034 Business Classic
Jin Muchen suddenly thought of Belinda, she had told Jin Muchen before that she had not only studied art in college, but was sent by her parents to find a master when she was a child, and she specialized in carving art. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
And when she was in Japan before, Belinda told him that if she followed him to the United States, people would not eat at home, she would definitely find a suitable livelihood to make money for herself, and she was best at sculpture and carving.
Even they got so many black coral in Japan, in fact, it was for Belinda to use to practice carving, and now Uncle Fang has become Master Fang, of course, she and Uncle Fang can learn hard, Belinda's carving technology, what level is it, Jin Muchen doesn't know, but he estimates that it is the level of ordinary Western sculptors, to be honest, the level of those Western sculpture masters, in Jin Muchen's eyes, there is really no spirit from our ordinary craftsmen in China.
may also have their own strengths, but Jin Muchen doesn't understand it, so he thinks that Belinda should still study hard with Uncle Fang, and Uncle Fang nodded frequently when he heard him say this.
"Well, that little girl, when I was carving just now, she has been sitting next to me and looking at this, and from time to time she asks me a lot of things, and it can be seen that she should know some technology, and it seems that she herself also likes this kind of thing very much, if she is staying in our house in the future, she can communicate with her more."
In fact, the person he values the most is Jin Muchen, but this kid is too uncertain so far, he always can't sit still, he likes to run around, and the most important thing is that this kid is not bad for money, and his ability to find antiques is first-class, so he doesn't need to learn such a carving technique at all, so Fang Bo is also worried that if he really wants Jin Muchen to sit next to him and learn carving with himself, can he learn it.
Now I heard Jin Muchen say that Belinda is good, that is, she has a foundation, and she also likes the craft of carving, so you might as well get in touch with it, if you can finally find out that this girl is not bad, and she is down-to-earth and willing to work, then it is okay to hand over your craft to her at that time.
Uncle Fang changed his mind again, how could Jin Muchen not know, now seeing that Uncle Fang seemed to like Belinda a lot, he also let go of his trust, and finally found a suitable reason for Belinda to stay.
And if Belinda can really learn Uncle Fang's craft, it will be a good thing, hehe, anyway, she will definitely be her own person in the future, even if Uncle Fang can't do it in the future, she can pass on Uncle Fang's craftsmanship.
Besides, they like to carve materials, even if the price is expensive, they can find it for them, and in the future, they just need to carve those things into finished products, which will provide an endless stream of wealth for their antique shops, which is definitely a great thing.
"By the way, Uncle Fang, how much do you buy these things?"
Seeing that Uncle Fang had made so much money in just a few months by carving these gadgets, Jin Muchen couldn't help but be very curious, what did Uncle Fang do in this business.
"Hehe, see this string, this string of jade bracelets, this is just made of leftovers, but the material is of medium quality, the diameter of eight points, I generally calculate this kind of quality according to grams, I want to pay fifty dollars for one gram. . . ."
Jin Muchen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, Uncle Fang's business is too fine, such a string of bead bracelets, the quality of the petrified wood is only medium, he actually dared to ask for 50 US dollars a gram with others, such a string is thousands of dollars, and it is not discounted, what is this black?
But the key is that those Yankees actually admit Zaiha, such an expensive but always stingy guy, they agreed without much bargaining, which is really rare.
You must know that in the United States, many businesses are not bargaining, but the circle of antiques and crafts is an exception, this is one of the few circles where you can bargain, but those guys don't bargain when they face the butcher knife raised by Fang Bo, it seems that Manhattan is really stupid and has a lot of money.
"Humph! Do you think I'm selling it too much? You're really wrong, first of all, the material of this bead is indeed not top-notch, and the people also know it, but the key is that you have so many beads, similar in size, similar in quality, you must know that petrified wood, this thing is also a rare thing in the United States, and this thing is very brittle, can not be polished by machinery, this bead can become the current shape, but I grind it out by hand, you think, so a few beads strung into a bracelet, I only received a total of thousands of dollars, I bought it very expensive? In fact, it's not expensive at all, compared with those so-called artists who are neurotic and draw a few strokes at every turn, and hype a painting to tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, or millions of dollars at every turn, the things I buy are already much cheaper. And these beads, compared with my other works, I already charge very cheap, if you ask me to carve some other works, even if it is just a small animal, you don't give a hundred thousand, I won't make it for you. ā
Uncle Fang said this, and then snorted coldly, obviously Jin Muchen's eyes were rolling around just now, and he couldn't him, he just used his brain slightly, and he could guess what Jin Muchen's kid was thinking.
As soon as he thought of that, Uncle Fang was a little angry, the thing I bought was really not expensive, it was very cheap.
And at this time, hearing Uncle Fang say this, Jin Muchen also understood, yes, this business can't do this!
Rub, the old man can not be included in the ranks of handicrafts, once it is included in the handicrafts, then the b grid can be low, but if it is said to be a work of art, the net worth is immediately different.
And first of all, we are currently the only antique store in the New York area that can provide petrified wood carving art, why can't we buy it more expensive?
And our Fang Bo is not an ordinary craftsman, but a master, a master of carving art, how can such a master's work be sold cheaply?
You must know that art has no borders, and it is also priceless, you see those crazy people, just throw some ink ideas on the canvas, they can sell for tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, why should our meticulously crafted works be sold at a low price?
No, you can't sell it like this in the future!
The art should be raised to the B level, and it should be bought more expensive, even if it is sold a few or dozens of pieces in a month, but once the price is raised, then the benefits will come out, so this business can no longer be done as before.
Jin Muchen told Uncle Fang about his thoughts, Uncle Fang didn't look old, but his mind was very open, as soon as Jin Muchen said this, he understood.
This petrified wood is originally a good thing, it is a treasure in this world that can be used a little less, and although he has a lot of it in his hand, he can't use it like this, even if the things he sold before are made of leftovers, but he can't buy it like that.
Over the years, how have we Chinese made business and the reputation of Made in China bad, isn't it disorderly competition, and then it is either low-cost shipments, so that those foreign devils take advantage of you, and also scold you that China will only produce garbage?
No, these works of your own must not be made like those made in China, they must be made into high-quality products, and as long as you make high-quality products, then you must reduce the quantity and improve the quality.
What about art stores that only sell a few works of art a year, but can sell tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, of any one of them, to be remembered?
Or is it easier for a craft store that sells hundreds of pieces a year, and can only sell a few hundred or thousands of dollars a piece?
As long as these two move their heads slightly, they can figure out that the former does not have to work hard every day, and can easily make money by relying on fame.
The latter worked hard, but in the end, it was easy to be scolded as a black-hearted trader, a profiteer specializing in the production of low-quality goods.
So this business, of course, to do the same as before, although Jin Muchen didn't understand what he said, Uncle Fang still understood it as soon as he heard it.
"Well, Mu Chen, I understand what you said, but you have already seen this thing of mine before, and it has been sold so much, but the highest price is only more than 100,000 US dollars, and I am afraid that those guys will not be able to accept it if they want to increase the price."
Fang Bo frowned and asked Jin Muchen, indeed as a Chinese, want to be accepted by Americans in the field of art, it is quite difficult, Fang Bo's carving works, can be sold for a price of more than 100,000, which is also very related to the material of petrified wood they use.
"Well, that's a problem, but I think, Uncle Fang, you're worrying too much, you must know that this is Manhattan, and there are so many rich people here. As long as we promote it properly, it will definitely be very profitable. ā
"Propaganda? How to advertise? Are you talking about advertising on TV? That's very expensive, I'm afraid that if we invest too much in advertising, we won't be able to earn it back. ā
Uncle Fang's concept is still a bit old, and Jin Muchen laughed when he heard it at this time: "Uncle Fang, we can't do that if we want to publicize, if we do that, it will be too vulgar." We'll have to come up with something else. ā
Jin Muchen smiled confidently and said to Uncle Fang, and Uncle Fang was also anxious when he saw him selling Guanzi at this time: "Don't sell Guanzi, what are you going to do?" (To be continued.) )
