"Oh? Where else can I go? ”

At the end of this day, although he returned empty-handed from Chao@zhou, Jin Muchen felt that he had learned a lot of knowledge from Sister Tao.

At least he knew from Sister Tao today that in addition to Jingdezhen, there was also a Bijiashan kiln factory in eastern Guangdong, which was also very famous.

Moreover, in many Cantonese porcelains that are currently popular abroad, if they are circulated from Chaozhou, then almost 75% of them are fakes.

This Chao@ state can definitely be regarded as one of the important areas of porcelain counterfeiting, and he absolutely did not know this knowledge before.

And although she returned empty-handed from Chao@zhou this time, Sister Tao is not particularly sad, she seems to know a lot of other places.

This made Jin Muchen interested, you must know that he is an antique business, of course, he has also heard that there are many famous places in China that make fake antiques and sell fake antiques, but because of time before, he didn't have time to go to those places to take a good look.

And he also knows that even if he has time, the bosses of other places will not necessarily accept him, but will be more defensive against himself.

After all, he is a new face, and if there is no acquaintance to lead him in, I am afraid that even if he goes, he will not see anything.

But if you follow Sister Tao, it's different.

Sister Tao just smiled at this time and bought a pass with him: "You'll know when the time comes." ”

The two returned to Shenzhen, returned the rented car, and then at Sister Tao's insistence. Booked two straight train tickets to Hui Province.

The place where they got off was the capital of Hui Province. But it wasn't the destination of their trip. The capital of Hui Province is located south, and the local customs and customs they are going to are 108,000 miles away, but this does not prevent Jin Muchen from taking Sister Tao to find an authentic shop here and enjoy a delicious meal here.

The two did not stay overnight in the provincial capital that night, but bought another train ticket from here. went directly to Zhucheng.

The Pearl City is not very large, but it is also famous in history, and it used to be famous for its pearls, but in recent years, as the water level of the lake has dropped, pearl farming has become a thing of the past.

However, the pearl farming industry here has become a history, but another industry has been in full swing here, that is, jade polishing and carving.

Zhucheng can now be said to be one of the largest jade polishing and processing production bases in the country, even if it is one of the paradise cities in Suzhou Province, the long-established jade production center. The current fame is not as big as here.

When they arrived in Zhucheng. It was already midnight, and the two of them got out of the train station and asked the taxi to take them straight to the best hotel in the city.

I stayed in the hotel for one night, and when I woke up the next day, it was already noon, the weather was not too good, it was cloudy outside, it was raining, the rain was not very heavy, it was the kind of rain and fog like light rain.

The two had a simple meal in the hotel, and then under the leadership of Sister Tao, they left the hotel, still the same as last time, first went to the car rental company in the city, rented a car, and then drove to their destination under the guidance of Sister Tao.

"In fact, long before the liberation, Zhucheng was already one of the famous bases for manufacturing antique fake jade in the country, at that time, the fake jade antiques here and the antique bronze produced in Xianyang, Qinxi, as well as the antique calligraphy and painting produced in Yang@zhou, Suzhou Province, but known as the three unique antiques fakes. During the Republic of China, it was very sought after. Later, after liberation, because of government management, those antique fake jade basically disappeared from the market. At that time, the state established the Zhucheng Jade Carving Factory, and many fine products appeared in this factory, and their works at that time, even now, can be sold at a high price in foreign markets. However, at that time, most of the fine products they produced were exported abroad to earn foreign exchange, and there were not many in circulation in China, so you may not have seen it or heard much about it. ”

When Sister Tao said this, Jin Muchen seemed to remember that when his grandfather was there, he really wanted to talk to him about the jade carvings in this pearl city.

"Well, I really haven't seen it, but I did hear that the jade carvings produced by the Zhucheng Jade Carving Factory back then can be said to be all high-quality products, but because they are well done, many of them were sold in handicraft stores at that time. And a large part, indeed as you said, are taken to export to earn foreign exchange, and abroad, I really haven't seen it from collectors, the works of the Pearl City Jade Carving Factory, maybe because their works are too beautiful, most of those collectors are reluctant to take it out, you also know a lot of people who play this thing, if there is something they like, they generally don't like to take it out to show the public. ”

"Well, you're right. Let's continue to talk about the Zhucheng Jade Carving Factory, which was originally developed quite well, but later you also know that the mainland has made policy adjustments and entered the era of reform and opening, so that people's hearts will immediately disperse. In addition, at that time, many of the original jade carving factory masters had reached retirement age, and those young people were more ambitious and had more ideas, so soon the factory began to lose money, and it was during this period that various private small and medium-sized jade carving factories in Zhucheng began to prevail. Later, the jade carving factory did not last long before it went bankrupt, and the small and medium-sized jade carving factory in Zhucheng quickly entered a golden age after absorbing the elite of the self-righteous factory. However, they soon discovered that at that time, there were not many people in China who could afford to consume the jade they produced, so they turned their brains and began to specialize in jade carving. As a result, the huge underground market here has formed ......"

Sister Tao said this, Jin Muchen basically understood how this pearl city was formed in the hearts of people like Sister Tao and them.

I really thought that Sister Tao still knew so much.

Soon, under the guidance of Sister Tao, the car drove onto Zhihuai Road, and as soon as he entered this road, Jin Muchen immediately felt the difference in this road.

Although it was winter, and it was still cloudy and raining outside, you could still see many open shops on the roadside, and people were coming and going.

On the east side of this road, there are about two or three hundred two- or three-storey small buildings, and the first floor of these small buildings is almost all with wide open doors, and through the car windows, they can hear the sound of grinding wheels grinding things from those doorways.

From time to time, you can still see many workers in white coats, coming in and out of those doorways.

"This is a very famous north construction site in Zhucheng, and it is also one of the famous distribution centers for making jade in Zhucheng."

Sister Tao is very familiar with this place, and she knows where they are now just by looking at it, and then introduces Jin Muchen to her.

Jin Muchen nodded: "Is this the place we are going to come to today?" ”

"Haha, of course not, this is not a place to make and sell counterfeits, people who are familiar with Zhucheng know that this north construction site is a more formal place, here are some small jade workshops, the jade produced by the carvers here is the kind of jade that is relatively common on the market with a moderate price, and they do not make fake antique jade."

When Sister Tao said this, Jin Muchen couldn't help but scratch his head in embarrassment, he thought that almost all the jade carving workshops in this city were making and selling counterfeits.

They went around here, Sister Tao gave him a general introduction to the situation here, and then the car drove out of here, their next time was Nanshan Road, where there is a 'Huahai Antique Jade Market', according to Sister Tao, where is the destination of their trip today.

And Jin Muchen was also a little surprised when he heard this name, it seems that people are already making those things public, and they dare to call it the antique jade market, it seems that they are also taking advantage of the loopholes of the law, and then playing side balls, and the local government is also turning a blind eye.

No wonder those guys were able to make it so big, and it seems that there is a reason.

Zhucheng is not big, and the Nanshan Road is not far, about ten minutes later, he drove the car to the side of the Nanshan Road, but this time, they can't drive the car into the street.

Because there were so many people inside, the market manager simply asked them to drive their cars to a special parking lot.

The two got out of the car, held up an umbrella and walked into the market, which was full of people, and the accents of merchants came and went all over the country.

The situation here was similar to the North Construction Site they had been to before, but it was more lively than there.

In this block, there is no special large market, just a long street like the North Construction Site, and on both sides of this long street, there are about 300 small buildings with two or three floors, and the first floor of the small building is all open door openings, and each door hole represents a storefront.

However, unlike the North Construction Site, the noisy and harsh sound of polishing jade can not be heard here, but there is a sour smell in the air, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

As soon as the two of them walked into the market, they immediately hulala, surrounded by more than a dozen people, including middle-aged women, hairy guys, and a few young girls.

"Handsome guy, beauty, come to buy jade? What kind of antique jade do you like? We've got everything here, huh? ”

"It is from the jade cong of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, to the Han Eight Knife of the Han Dynasty, to the jade of the Tang Dynasty, and the Ming and Qing dynasties, we have everything here, and keep it to confuse the real ......"

"Hey! Handsome guys and beauties, don't be in a hurry to go! Why don't you walk into our shop? The price is negotiable......" (To be continued.) )
