Fang Yong noticed that these collectors are very diverse, including entrepreneurs, government workers, ordinary wage earners, and migrant workers

In addition to the traditional collections, there are also people who collect newspapers, posters, clocks, cigarette labels, nuclear carvings, etc., and even people who collect matchboxes from various periods.

The antiques identified as genuine are involved in the collections of the Han, Tang, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. The aura on the antique was all absorbed by Fang Yong, which made Fang Yong, who was watching from the sidelines, very addicted.

The two-day treasure appraisal activity ended quickly, and at the end the organizer also held a treasure appreciation symposium, inviting treasure experts and treasure holder representatives to participate in the interaction.

After breakfast, Fang Yong followed Kang Lao to the stadium. The symposium was held in a small conference room in the stadium.

When he came to the venue, Fang Yong saw some familiar people exchanging things together.

After Fang Yong arrived, after greeting the experts he had met in the past two days, he found a seat and sat down, listening to everyone's conversation by the way. At 9 o'clock in the morning, the staff of the organizer announced the start of the symposium.

At this time, one of the leaders of the organizers began to speak: "Dear experts and friends in the collecting world, good morning! Thanks ......"

The leader's cliché said a lot, making Fang Yong feel that the leader's speech was the same everywhere.

After the leader finished speaking, Kang Lao also symbolically said two sentences: "Thank you to the organizing committee for holding this symposium, which provides us collectors with an opportunity to meet and communicate." In the past two days, these old fellows and I have appraised the collections you brought and found many representative collections. But it was also found that more fakes were flooding the collection market, causing great losses to many collectors. ”

Kang Lao then said with a smile: "Okay, I won't say more, I hope everyone will comment on the current situation of the current collection. We exchange our experience with each other in terms of collection, and welcome everyone to criticize and correct our experts, rest assured, we have enough endurance to say hard! ”

At this time, a veteran porcelain collector said: "Now that fakes are flooding the major markets, it is normal to look away in this industry. A few years ago, I spent 50,000 yuan to buy a piece of blue and white porcelain, but later I found out that it was a fake, so I could only recognize it, and now I keep it as a souvenir. ”

After he finished speaking, Fu Mingming, a miscellaneous appraisal expert, said to everyone: "Encountering fakes is something that almost every collector must experience, and as a veteran who is often invited to appraise the collection, I have also encountered a lot of "abnormal" phenomena, once there was a collector who filled two large rooms and failed to find a genuine item. On the one hand, it is a matter of collectors' eyesight, but more importantly, our antique market is flooded with too many fakes, which makes it difficult to guard against. ”

Another older collector took over Fu Mingming's topic and said: "That's true, and this is also the case with a collector friend of mine, who went to a treasure appreciation event in Jin City and brought two large boxes full of collections from home for expert appraisal. None of it turned out to be true, and he collapsed on the ground. The staff at the scene had to persuade him to buy less in the future, and the ones he bought would be regarded as souvenirs. ”

Wang Zexian Wang Lao said: "This kind of case is not uncommon, although it is a problem of eyesight, but in the final analysis, it is a problem of mentality. ”

When it comes to the current collection appraisal process, the appraisal agency can spend a few thousand yuan to issue an appraisal certificate, and the fake is said to be true, the people who participated in the symposium were indignant and condemned one after another.

Fueled by some untrusted collection appraisal agencies, fraudulent activities have also occurred repeatedly. At the same time that ordinary collectors "look away", some so-called "experts" can't see it because of their own lack of ability, so they come to the idea of "fake is true when it's true".

Talking about the various misunderstandings in the current collection world, Mr. Wang felt a lot.

Wang Lao said: "Some collectors 'hunt for treasures according to the map', listen to the owner of the antique seller tell a story, and then compare it with the atlas and think it is the real thing; there are also some collectors who are blind, like to chase the hot spots of the collection, and the profit is too strong, always thinking that a few hundred yuan can be 'picked up', but their personal eyesight is insufficient, they can't understand the collection thoroughly, and they don't really consider their authenticity." ”

At this time, Kang Lao said: "A mature collector must have several major elements: one is to have vision, the second is to have financial resources, and the third is to have courage. Collecting is about cultivating sentiment, not investment. ”

Kang Lao also said for collectors: "For ordinary collectors, because they are not often engaged in collection trading, it is difficult to gain experience from actual combat, so they should watch more museum exhibitions and participate in more exchange activities in the industry to improve their appreciation level." It is necessary to collect rationally, and there can be no blind "leakage" mentality. ”

When it comes to how to inherit the collection, everyone deeply agrees that if you like it, it doesn't mean that your descendants will like it, and the inheritance of these hard-working collections has become a problem.

As for how to pass it on, some collectors think about how to find a place where their antique collections can be exhibited.

The purpose of collecting should not be to hide it when you receive it. If a private collection cannot be displayed for the public to appreciate and taste, it will lose its social value.

The two-hour symposium ended quickly, with collectors and experts sharing their opinions, and this was a relatively relaxed form of communication that allowed everyone to learn something.

Fang Yong listened to everyone's new things about antique collection and appraisal, from his own knowledge, experience and perception of antique appraisal, he also learned and learned more about the professional knowledge of collection appraisal, and enriched his cognition with the help of several experts present for many years, and had a deeper understanding of the collection appraisal industry.

After the symposium, the organizers also prepared a sumptuous lunch for the participants. Everyone played to their heart's content at the wine table, which made Fang Yong's large amount of wine also find a place to use. Through the exchange of guò wine, Fang Yong also got to know and became familiar with several big collectors, who left Fang Yong's contact information and invited Fang Yong to have time to visit their collection. This made Fang Yong overjoyed, and he could absorb the aura again.

In the evening, Kang Lao and Fang Yong were in the courtyard to cool off, chatting about the treasures of the past two days. Fang Yong's harvest was great, and he communicated his current knowledge of antique collecting and the collection world with Kang Lao, and from time to time expressed some of his opinions, and Kang Lao also nodded again and again.

It was this symposium that gave Fang Yongzhi the idea of establishing his own art collection and making efforts for the collection and exchange of antiques.
