Chapter 273: Tomb Robbery

"The two bosses are also here to invest in the construction of the factory, right?"

"Big brother is joking, look at us like this, where do we look like bosses? It's just a part-time job and running errands......"

"Too young indeed!"

Li Dingan smiled and handed over another cigarette: "Big brother is a local, right?" ”

"It's here, not far from home, more than four miles!"

"How's the income?"

"It's okay, the family has a few acres of land, and I rent it to a large family to grow selenium-rich rice...... I'm here to watch the door, and my wife is in the instant noodle factory in front of me......"

"There are a lot of factories in this area, but when we came here, many of them were closed?"

"It's not good."

"What about this one?"

"This one is okay, the business was very good at the beginning, I heard that the boss lost money by playing antiques, and owed a lot of money, so he ran to rob the tomb before he could ...... it."

Lei Mingzhen was stunned for a moment, and squeezed his eyes at Li Dingan: I heard it, you can take it easy.

Li Dingan was lazy to pay attention to him, chatting with men in the east and west, just like chatting about family life.

Knowing that they weren't the bosses, they spoke casually, and the doorman was much more relaxed. Basically, whatever you ask, he can answer.

After walking dozens of meters, the three of them first arrived at the mold making workshop, which, as the name suggests, is the place where the embryo is shaped.

Opening the iron door, Li Dingan instinctively squinted his eyes.

Before he came, he only had a general understanding, Zhao Yufang said that this is an antique porcelain factory based on "Hongzhou celadon", which is not large in scale and has been closed for almost a year.

didn't mention anything else, Li Dingan also forgot to ask, thinking that it covers an area of only more than 100 acres, and it must be an industrialized assembly line production model. For example, embryo making: not only the simplest set of molds dry press molding, but also hot casting wax molds, or colloidal injection.

To put it in layman's terms: the first one is the easiest, directly take the mold to extend, the fastest speed, but the quality is also the second. The latter two will add organic bonding, although the machine is also used, but the process is slightly complicated, but the strength is high, the coagulation is strong, and the beauty is beautiful.

But you can see a few rows of pottery carts, each with a chair in front of it.

In the kind of video show, the potter's wheel keeps turning, and the two hands keep pinching until a lump of mud is kneaded into a mud embryo. In other words: hand-drawn embryos are purely ancient plastic tires.

Roughly count: more than 40 pottery cars, which means that there are more than 40 people in the embryo drawing workshop alone. Many pottery cars still have finished or semi-finished porcelain tires, look carefully, the technique is quite skillful: the shape of the vessel is quite regular, the deformation is not much, the thickness is also very uniform, indicating that the usual quality requirements are quite high.

At the same time, it also means that the production efficiency is very low!

A little surprised, Li Dingan continued to walk inside, to the next workshop, and then saw the plate and bamboo knife used to print embryos and sharp embryos (trimming mud tires), he was stunned again: the same is a pure manual process, the station is slightly less, about twenty or thirty!

Further down, the engraving is also handmade, and further down, the glaze is also glazed with the most primitive brush, rather than dipping or dipping. The clay embryos are all naturally dried, not machine-dried.

Fortunately, in the end, an electric kiln was used, not an ancient firewood kiln for firing, including the pottery car pottery wheel he saw before was also electric, otherwise he thought he had arrived at a pure retro-style super-large high-antique factory.

Even so, it is enough for Li Ding'an to be surprised: there are five workshops before and after, more than 200 large and small workstations, plus staleness, mud training, slurry, painting and transportation that do not need to be worked in the workshop, if this porcelain factory starts, at least 300 workers must be on the production line at the same time.

According to the average salary in Fengcheng, a person is 8,000, and the labor cost alone is about 2.5 million a month, or 30 million a year?

This is not counting raw materials, water and electricity, taxes and fees, etc., etc., how much sales in a year can maintain a balance between income and expenditure?

Anyway, you can't do it for Li Ding'an, and Baoli can't do it!

On the other hand, he uses pure handwork everywhere, and the output is definitely not high, unless the price of a single product is set to an extremely outrageous amount.

The question is, who will buy it?

But the doorman said that business was good at the beginning?

"Big brother, when did this factory open?"

"The spring before last!"

"When was it closed?"

"Last year, when winter was about to begin!"

"There are still more than a year and a half to go...... The boss doesn't owe the workers wages? ”

"I must not owe it, otherwise the things in the factory would have been emptied...... But there is a lot owed in the town and county: I heard that only half of the land transfer fee was paid......"

This boss is quite kind, don't pit farmers?

Thinking secretly, Li Ding'an followed the porter to look at other places, and asked a few words by the way.

The doorman is very talkative, or maybe he knows almost everything about the face of the two cigarettes, and Li Dingan understands more and more: the local support is quite strong, which can be seen from the fact that half of the transfer fee is paid first.

The folk customs are not as bad as expected: the production has been suspended for more than half a year, and it is so close to the village, but there has been no theft in the factory.

Worker training is in place, and management is strict: it can be seen from the quality of finished and semi-finished products.

The quality and water quality of porcelain clay are also very high: the quality of the things made by pure manual methods is still so good, indicating that the content of impurities is not high, and the plasticity and viscosity are very strong.

The only thing: the place is too small.

The current farm will cover an area of 100 acres, and if it is replaced by Baoli to build a factory, it will be at least three times larger. But it's not a big problem: it's almost time for dinner, and the few next to it don't even have a trace of smoke, and it has been out of production for a long time, so you can buy it.

After roughly turning around, more than an hour before and after, and the two of them returned the same way with the doorman.

"That's it?"

"I don't count what I said, at most I suggest it!"

"Nonsense, although the basic research does not care about production, but the climate, geology, hydrology, etc. involved in the early site selection and construction of the factory must be consulted for your opinion...... Baoli was originally intentional, so I asked you to investigate again, and if you said that there was no problem, then basically you didn't run......"

"Do you know a lot?"

"Otherwise, if I really only cheat Lao Lei of his money?"

Lei Mingzhen sighed, "You will be convenient in the future: one home in Beijing, one family in Jiangxi, and one ...... in each family."

Full of strange words, itchy skin?

Li Ding'an frowned, and kicked his foot, Lei Ming really expected to be cleaned up, so he dodged the situation, and a stone flew between his legs with a "whoosh".

Immediately, there was a "clang" sound not far away.

The two men turned their heads in unison: the stones flew into the shed, as if they had smashed something.

"Good fellow, a little bit?"

"You're that crispy?"

......

Lei Ming really wanted to scold, but Li Dingan stopped and stretched his neck to look into the shed.

Just the ordinary kind of color steel shed, cement floor, on which are stacked with a few stacks of porcelain and a pile of burned porcelain.

It's covered with dust, and you can tell that it's been a long time since you looked at it.

"What are you looking at?"

"Well, just the pile of porcelain...... Looks a bit like an open piece of green glaze? Well...... Look at the shape of the vessel, imitation or Jin porcelain? ”

"It's different from what I saw in the workshop before?"

"It's a bit bit: the previous ones imitated the porcelain of the Tang and Five Dynasties, although it was also celadon, but it didn't open the piece, and the color tended to be more blue and white, green and ...... But look at the pile: the color is blue and yellow, and it is blue and yellow......"

After a pause, Li Ding'an walked to the shed, "Big brother, has Jin porcelain been imitated in the factory?" ”

Where did the doorman know what Tang porcelain and Jin porcelain, and squinted his eyes: "You said that the pile under the shed is not yellow and gray?" I burned it a few times, but the sales were not good, and I never burned it again......"

No wonder I didn't see it in the workshop?

Turning their minds, the three of them walked to the bottom of the shed together.

There weren't many things, about thirty or forty pieces, just stacked in the corner. The shape of the vessel is quite mixed, but they all have typical characteristics of the two Jin Dynasty: there are double-series pots, chicken head jars, bird button lid jars, and a barn jar imitating the late Three Kingdoms.

After a few glances, Lei Mingzhen said "hey", "What kind of thing is this, like a urinal?" ”

Chamber pot?

Well, it's a bit like, like the kind of urinals used in hospitals for bedridden patients. However, this one is more vivid: it is open and large, with four legs underneath, and the handle resembles a tail that is coiled upside down on the back, a bit like a tiger.

In an instant, Li Ding'an remembered: Huzi!

There is no clear verification, but archaeologists and historians believe that this thing is very likely to be a drowning vessel, so Lei Mingzhen did not admit that he was wrong.

So it's quite strange: who would buy such an imitation of the shape of a serious person?

After thinking about it, Li Ding'an picked up the tiger and glanced at it a few more times.

"Pretty chic, huh?" Lei Mingzhen gritted his teeth, "Why don't you take it back and put it in your living room?" ”

"You think I don't dare to swing? After I go back, I will take you to see: there is one in the Nanchang Museum, which is exactly the same as this one, and it is still the treasure of the town museum......"

"Huh...... That's an antique, what about you? If you don't smell it, someone might have used it last month......"

"Maybe this is the second one!"

"If this is the second one, I'll nibble on him?"

"Can you afford to eat?"

The two joked casually, and Li Dingan wiped the dust on it again.

Not to mention, the imitation is quite similar: green glaze, open piece, enamel is moist, and the glaze color is bright.

The shape of the instrument is also right: cup-shaped, neck-bound, plastic semicircular handle on the back, connecting the head and tail, thick and strong, a crescent-shaped tail hanging after the beam, four-legged at the bottom of the device, moon-shaped, carved stripes on the foot to show the toe, the overall shape is like a tiger strutting forward.

Look closely...... Good fellow, this is too realistic, isn't it: there is even a secretion of earth?

Well...... Soil?

What kind of?

This is antique craft porcelain, and it is not a high-quality imitation of Panjiayuan's old and sold as real antiques, how can there be this thing?

And he went all over the factory, and he didn't see any tools, or even traces, related to the "old process". Including the one in his hand, it is the only antique porcelain with "Tumi" that he has seen here......

Besides, how can you be old and do not make soil, and if you don't do pulp, you are not afraid of being mistaken for just dug up from the tomb, and you will be directly a 110?

After a slam slam, Li Dingan chuckled in his heart: "Big brother, you just said, how did the original boss get in?" ”

"Tomb robbery?"

I'm going to ...... (End of chapter)
