Chapter 952: A Sudden Thought
Seeing that Lao Xia was gone, Gu Gongyi shook his head and sighed: "My friend is a dead brain, I told him before that if he wants to collect, he will start studying porcelain tiles, not to mention spending a small amount of money to do big things, and the possibility of porcelain tiles being fake is relatively small." But I didn't remind him that the porcelain tiles are not fakes at all, let him be careful, I didn't expect that he suffered a loss last time, and this time he was still so careless. ”
"Newcomers, that's how they all came."
Chu Chen smiled slightly, it is a common thing for the antique industry to be deceived, so every time he goes to Liu Lao's, Liu Lao basically has to tell him every time, "The idea of 'fighting fakes' in my head can't be relaxed for a moment." ”
In addition, you only have the idea of "fighting fakes", logical thinking is also very important, let's just say that Lao Xia hit this eye, even if Chu Chen first entered the industry before, he would not be fooled, the reason is simple, we usually break a bowl on the ground, it is not easy to reunite, let alone porcelain from a thousand years ago?
Chu Chen felt that the porcelain pieces that Lao Xia bought might have been broken by the imitator by putting the imitation porcelain in a sack, and then selling it to him along with the sack.
After chatting a few more words, Chu Chen and Gu Gongyi made an appointment to meet tomorrow, and then said goodbye and prepared to go back to the hotel.
After getting into the car, Wu Ke said with some emotion: "Achen, fortunately, no one dares to mess with you now, otherwise your treasures are really not easy to preserve." You say, in this society, why are there so many people who like to blush others? ”
Chu Chen smiled: "Anyway, if I don't have the strength, for my own safety, there are some things that I can give up." Besides. If I were a flat-headed commoner, then good things would only be enjoyed alone. ”
"You're here to see."
Chu Chen smiled slightly. He didn't see it, but he understood it deeply. This society is like this, you can only adapt, don't think about changing, otherwise you will definitely hit your head and break the bloodstream.
Of course, today's events also touched him deeply, it turned out that people can be shameless to this point for their own interests, and vividly interpret it. What is called the sin of desire, there is no excuse.
This made him determined to hide his abilities, after all, strictly speaking, in this world, one person knows a secret, and if two people know, it is not a secret. It's not just about his own safety, he has to be very careful no matter what.
Early the next morning. Everyone packed their luggage, and Hu Yong drove Chu Chen and Wu Ke to Chu Chen's kiln factory.
Walking straight to the reception room, Chu Chen didn't expect that Du Hou and Qian Lao had already arrived early. At this time, they were chatting with Gu Gongyi about the topic of antique porcelain, after Chu Chen came in. Said hello to them and joined in.
Because Chu Chen was in a hurry. After chatting for a while, everyone began to discuss the formation of the laboratory. In this regard, Chu Chen is a layman, so most of the time, other people are talking, Chu Chen is recording, and finally a relatively complete plan is formed.
Chu Chen said with a smile: "That's okay, in terms of the real yàn room, I was going to invest 10 million in advance, but I was really not good at this aspect, so I could only be a shopkeeper for the time being." ”
Du Hou smiled and waved his hand and said: "I'm old, and I don't have so much energy to take care of this matter, so I'll be responsible for putting forward some opinions at that time, and if there's anything you need my help with, you can tell me, and I'll definitely do my best to help." ”
Qian Lao smiled and nodded, indicating that he also meant the same.
Considering that Gu Gongyi was going to be responsible for this matter, Chu Chen smiled and said: "Old Gu, it seems that this matter can only be entrusted to you, if there are any difficulties and requirements at that time, you can mention it." ”
Gu Gongyi said solemnly: "Yes, I will definitely try my best to handle this matter......
There is no problem in the real yàn room, Chu Chen discussed the remuneration with Du Hou and Qian Lao, and then signed the contract, and the brothers have to settle the accounts, in terms of money, Chu Chen has always taken it seriously.
In the end, Chu Chen explained to Liu Yushu again, and asked him to handle the expansion of the kiln factory as much as possible, after all, with the current scale of the kiln factory, it is too small to want to set up a real room.
After all the things were explained, Chu Chen was ready to say goodbye and go to the airport, and Gu Gongyi still had some things at home, and he was also ready to say goodbye, just in the same direction, so he and Chu Chen took the same car.
After getting into the car, Chu Chen saw Gu Gongyi's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and he had been frowning since he came out, so he asked with a smile: "Old Gu, is there something on your mind?" Say it and I'll help you figure it out. ”
Gu Gongyi smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing, but I just feel a little pressured?" ”
"Stressed?" When Chu Chen heard this, he felt a little strange, he didn't mention any hard rules in the formation of the real room just now, why was Gu Gongyi still under pressure?
Gu Gongyi scratched his head and said: "Boss, you also know that this antique porcelain research is a money-burning job, what if you spend a lot of money and make very little profit?" ”
Chu Chen smiled: "What is there to worry about in this matter, we are the time to invest now, and it is also appropriate to burn money, otherwise where will we produce in the future?" ”
Gu Gongyi smiled and said, "Actually, I know about this, it's ......."
"What's it?"
"It feels like you're putting a lot of money into it."
Chu Chen was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Why, you won't be frightened by this money, right?" ”
"To be honest, I was a little scared." Gu Gongyi smiled awkwardly and said: "Before, I thought that you would invest a maximum of three or five million, but I didn't expect you to invest a full ten million, so I was a little worried, I don't know when the research results of the real room will be able to make so much profit." ”
When Chu Chen heard this, he laughed and said: "Old Gu, don't worry about it now, didn't I tell you about my plan to build a store in the future, as long as the customer recognizes it, the profit of 10 million is completely trivial......"
Speaking of this, Chu Chen's mind flashed, he secretly pondered for a moment, and then said: "Old Gu, I don't know if you have any research on three-color pottery?" ”
Gu Gongyi nodded and said: "Yes, the three-color pottery I studied at the beginning, it's not that I brag, the three-color pottery I made can be completely fake, even if they break something, it is difficult to find the flaws." ”
When Chu Chen heard this, he asked with some curiosity: "In that case, why didn't I see a few pieces of three-color pottery at your place yesterday?" ”
Gu Gongyi spread his hands and said: "It's not that there are relatively few people who collect pottery in our country, even if it is the famous Tang Sancai, although it is very popular, but because Tang Sancai's imitation technology has been very mature, some masters imitate Tang Sancai, which can be completely fake and true, which also leads to the situation that we are not popular in China." ”
"Besides, I don't plan to make deceptive things, in the market, everyone generally only buys antique porcelain, as for high imitation pottery, few people will buy it, I fired a few pieces, and found that no one bought it."
Speaking of this, Gu Gongyi thought of Chu Chen's question a little, and said, "Boss, you don't plan to let me make high-quality imitation three-color pottery, right?" I'm not good at it! ”
Chu Chen said with a smile: "Old Gu, you listen to me first, I asked you to imitate three-color pottery, not to deceive the people of our country, but to go to foreign markets to get a handful." Moreover, I take things to foreign markets in exchange for porcelain that our country has lost abroad, and if it is just for money, I will not do such a thing. ”
"This ......" Gu Gongyi actually has some potential for resentment, so when he heard Chu Chen say this, his heart began to move a little, but he still had some worries in his heart, so he didn't agree immediately.
Seeing Gu Gongyi's embarrassed look, Chu Chen said, "Old Gu, since you don't want to, forget it." ”
Do you still remember the antique shop owner Nan Nancai that Chu Chen met in France?
After Chu Chen returned to China, the two have not broken contact, a while ago, Nan Nan also took a few photos of the official kiln porcelain of the Ming and Qing dynasties, uploaded them to Chu Chen from the Internet, and asked him if he was interested, if Chu Chen wanted, he could express mail to Chu Chen, and then pay after identifying the authenticity of Chu Chen.
At that time, Chu Chen also joked with a smile that Nan Nan did this, not worried that he would not pay after receiving the goods? However, Nan Nan said magnanimously that he believed that Chu Chen's character would not give up long-term cooperation for the sake of this benefit.
Of course, Chu Chen will not destroy such a channel, although the price that Nan only came up with is only slightly discounted on the normal market price, which is definitely not comparable to picking up leaks, but he is still quite happy to be able to bring back the cultural relics that have been scattered abroad, otherwise what is he doing with so much money, can he still bring it into the coffin?
To get back to the point, the reason why Chu Chen came up with the idea just now was also because Nan Nan had a channel to deal with it. The background of Taoism, how can such a character not be involved in some gray areas? As for the fake sale, it is even more trivial to him.
This point was also vaguely mentioned by Nan Nan in his communication with Chu Chen.
It is precisely because of this that Chu Chen wants to use the high-imitation ceramics made by Gu Gongyi for some cultural relics that have been dispersed abroad at home. The origin of many foreign porcelain is not glorious at all, and Chu Chen does this kind of thing, and he has no burden in his heart.
Hearing Chu Chen say this, Gu Gongyi hurriedly said: "Boss, it's no problem for me to make zuò, but more and more people from our country are now going abroad to buy antiques, in case they buy a high imitation of my zuò, I still feel very sorry." ”
Chu Chen said with a smile: "That's why I only plan to make some three-color pottery, our people don't like to collect these very much, and foreigners like this kind of thing quite a lot." (To be continued......)
