Knowing this, Jin Muchen would not have paid for the ticket from the United States to Australia.

Speaking of this trip to Australia, in fact, it was also impulsive, and before I came, I also considered that now he is already a well-known figure in the American Taobao industry, so it is inconvenient to often go to those second-hand markets to shop for goods.

Because if you're not recognizable, you won't be able to find anything good.

Second, it was also because of a series of recent events in the United States that I came out to relax, and I saw an advertisement on the Internet that Australia was going to hold a second-hand art sale festival, which made me think.

But when I got here, I found that it wasn't the same thing at all.

This so-called national second-hand art sale festival is actually a gimmick hyped up by the Sydney government and some local performance artists.

Many of the so-called works of art are simply the works of some unknown local art lovers.

Because their ancestors came to European countries, their artistic hobbies are also deeply influenced by European countries, and they keep up with the trend of European art creation in terms of artistic creation.

Many of the things that have been produced are avant-garde artworks that are now popular in Europe and the United States, or post-modern art streams.

But they simply don't have the hundreds of thousands of years of heritage of those European countries, so many of the things they come up with are nondescript.

For example, Jin Muchen saw on the first floor those models that imitated the popular French art ceramics. The fired porcelain and glass bottles look beautiful, but if you think about it carefully. You don't even know what this thing is trying to say.

In Europe, especially in France, this is a well-known art ceramics production country, their art ceramics, especially modern works, many are contemporary art ceramics in the fine works, there are also many internationally known famous art masters.

The works of these masters of the arts. Now take out one piece and put it up for auction, and you can fetch hundreds of thousands, or even millions of euros, casually.

Lovely works created by others. It's not untargeted, a lot of art ceramics, although it looks like the shape is strange, but if you savor it. I can still taste the theme ideas that others want to express.

But these art ceramics created by these so-called Australian artists. It's hard for you to understand, empty has a beautiful appearance, but it has an incomprehensible connotation, to put it bluntly, it is a pair of empty things with its surface.

And many small details are not in place, for example, on some ceramic artworks, you can still see burrs and trachoma during firing, which shows that their firing process is not in place. It's not even as good as those unknown kiln factories in Jingdezhen in China.

The first floor alone made Jin Muchen a big disappointment, not to mention the woodworking handicrafts on the second floor. There are some original things, such as rocking chairs with fine workmanship, and some wooden tables and chairs that imitate Chinese style.

The workmanship materials can also be regarded as fine, but looking at the price, it is not so comfortable.

At such a price, Lao Tzu can buy better things in the United States, Jin Muchen scolded in his heart after looking at those things.

On the third and fourth floors, Jin Muchen took a look around, all of them were created by some modern artists without illness moaning @ Yin, and there were many creations that had to be far-fetched with a little local indigenous characteristics, such as the sculptures of the indigenous chiefs carved in wood, obviously with the style of North American Indian chiefs, but they had to depict the tattoo patterns that local aborigines liked on their faces, which looked complicated, but the price was too expensive, Jin Muchen only looked around and was not interested in continuing to watch.

It only took less than an hour for Jin Muchen to take a look at the flowers, and then walked out of the venue.

When he came out, he shook his head vigorously, specially, this place, Lao Tzu will never come back next time, at this time he was full of thoughts, book a plane ticket back to the hotel, and then hurry back to the United States.

This place is completely unnecessary, so he is wasting time and energy.

got into the car, because of the big disappointment, Jin Muchen's interest was not high, and asked the driver to drive directly back to the hotel.

The driver of the car was a young white man named Mo Lin, this guy was a chatter, when he came, he chattered all the way, and when he saw where Jin Muchen came out of dejectedness, this guy also had a little look, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense.

However, just when the car was about to arrive at the hotel, the trip slowed down because of the traffic jam.

Mo Lin, who had been holding back all the way, looked at Jin Muchen, who was sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed, and asked tentatively: "What?" Mr. Kim, were you disappointed with that art show? ”

"Yes! I didn't expect it to be like this at all, I thought there would be some good things, but I didn't think that the things in it were too much to put on the table, and there were a lot of crafts that I thought were apprentices, and they couldn't be called art at all. ”

Although this Mo Lin is Australian, Jin Muchen has no intention of saving face for Australians, it is really this second-hand fire sale, which disappoints him too much.

Unexpectedly, when Morin heard his evaluation, he was not angry at all, but smiled and cooperated with him.

"You're not wrong at all, that place, to be honest, I've been there once, and I don't want to go again, for fear of staining my eyes, even those broken things dare to be said to be art? It's a fool! Those rags, I think, should be swept straight into the garbage heap. ”

When the driver said this, it aroused Jin Muchen's interest in complaining.

"Oh? Have you been to this second-hand sale before? Isn't this just the city of Sydney this year? ”

"Haha, you are asking the right person, Mr. Jin will not tell you, I used to be an art student at the University of Sydney, and my major was sculpture. This second-hand sale exhibition is held for the first time this year, yes, but he used to have a predecessor, a local artist Jeff. McCann's artisan workshop in The Rocks. In fact, it is to teach some people with little skills to make small workshops such as handmade furniture and wallets, and later because of some fame, plus this Jeff is very good at hype, and I don't know how he caught up with Mayor Perry, the old woman, so there was this year's second-hand fire show. ”

Jin Muchen didn't expect that this young man who was driving a car used to study sculpture, and he heard a local like him say that such a fire sale exhibition was more reliable, so he was interested in talking.

"I see? Speaking of which, you've been to Jeff's workshop before! ”

"Of course, I've been to see it, and I was not sensible before, and I went a few times when I saw that the newspaper blew this Jeff quite badly. But after a few times, I realized that this guy was a non-mainstream carpenter at best. Think about it, what good works can be made by the 'artists' taught by such guys? And in recent years, due to the global economic downturn, many young people have not been able to find jobs, and the government cannot let them roam the streets, so they have vigorously advocated such activities, so that these guys have a place to go and learn some crafts from this Jeff. But as you can see, this Jeff himself is a carpenter, and it is strange that the works created by these disciples he handed over can be sold. Because there is no market for these things, the government has held such a second-hand art exhibition, in fact, it wants to use their garbage works to fool some wrongdoers. ”

Mo Lin, a local expert, of course, knows more about the truth than Jin Muchen, and when he said this, Jin Muchen almost fainted, grass, it turned out that the Australian second-hand fire sale festival that he had been looking forward to for so long was specifically to fool those wronged bosses!

"In fact, we are not without excellent artists in Australia, but these artists, after becoming famous, all choose to immigrate to the United States, or the United Kingdom, or settle in those art-developed areas in Europe.

Mo Lin complained to Jin Muchen while driving, and at this time, Jin Muchen's heart was already pulling out the cold, pulling out the cold, it seems that this time he came to Australia, it was completely impulsive!

"Could it be that there is no good art market in this Sydney area?"

Jin Muchen asked very unwillingly, and as soon as he said this, he saw a strange smile on Mo Lin's face in the front rearview mirror.

"It's not like there's a lot to do, there's Moore Park in The Rocks, where there's a big second-hand market every Saturday and Sunday. But you're going to go in the morning, preferably at 4 o'clock, and you'll still see a lot of good stuff between 4 and 6 o'clock, and of course people there only accept cash, so you should be sure to take precautions before you go. ”

As soon as Mo Lin said this, Jin Muchen basically understood, and there is a ghost market similar to the American Rose Bowl in the Sydney area!

Held between four and six o'clock, and only in cash, that speaks for itself, most of the things sold there must have been stolen goods.

And as long as it is a thief, this means that there will definitely be a lot of things you want there, thinking of this, Jin Muchen's eyes lit up.

"Maureen, do you have time tomorrow morning? I want you to be my guide and take me to the morning market at Namoore Park, what do you think? Forehead...... When the heat doesn't make you dry, the salary is 100 Australian dollars an hour! ”

"Great...... Mr. Kim, of course I'm happy to help! ”

The corners of Morin's mouth were already behind his ears...... (To be continued......)
