The anti-theft measures in Xiao Likai's storage room are very strict and can reach the level of a bank. A 360-degree surveillance system with no blind spots is installed around the storage room. The door is also very heavy. It is even better than the security level in the basement of Meng Zitao's villa. and.
According to Xiao Likai himself, when the kiln was built, most of the cost was spent on building this storage room.
Following Xiao Likai into the storage room, Meng Zitao saw that the porcelain was mainly divided into two areas: the left and the right. The porcelain on the left was all blue and white porcelain, while the porcelain on the right was mainly colored porcelain such as pastels. Each piece seemed to be of high quality. The work is breathtaking.
In addition, there are porcelains on the table directly in front, but there are only a few pieces. These pieces of porcelain are all quite expensive types of porcelain, and they look more natural.
Meng Zitao asked with a smile: "Presumably these porcelains in front are all genuine, right?"
"good eyesight!"
Xiao Likai gave a thumbs up to Meng Zitao: "These pieces of porcelain are all real things. They are treasures that I have collected over the years. They cost me a lot of savings. Just the Qianlong pastel consecrated double-dragon-ear vase with twining branches and flowers, I When I bought it, I spent more than one million yuan, but now it should be worth more than eight million yuan. If it's less than that and I have no choice, I won't sell it."
"However, I'm a little embarrassed to say it. Using this as a prototype, I also made a very realistic imitation. It sold for more than 300,000 yuan at that time. I heard that it was later put on an auction and the deal was sold. More than five million."
Chen Zhongfeng asked curiously: "Since the sales are so good, why don't you make a few more?"
Xiao Likai smiled and said that when selling, he made a guarantee that he would not make a second bottle of the same type within five years, so he would not make such a bottle again within the next year or two. .
¡°In our business, the most important thing is credibility. Just do whatever you say. If you don¡¯t have credibility, no matter how skilled you are, not many people will patronize you.¡±
Meng Zitao also understood this very well. Antiques are rare and valuable. The value of one high imitation is very different from a dozen high imitations. Moreover, once multiple high imitations appear, it is easy to be found to be imitations. This will definitely affect the interests of buyers. If they don¡¯t want to sell high imitations as genuine products, why should these buyers pay high prices to buy high imitations?
It is estimated that when buyers find out that the author has made a second replica that is exactly the same, they will become anxious: "I spent so much money to buy your replica, why are you still selling it to others? Then what is mine worth?"
Xiao Likai continued: "Speaking of which, I'm really not happy to sell high-imitation porcelain. Just like buying a high-imitation porcelain from me, the most expensive one is less than 500,000 yuan, and in the end, if it can be put on the auction, the transaction price will be It¡¯s often 10 to 100 times. To put it bluntly, even if you help others do evil, you will end up making a small fortune.¡±
Ling Ruihong said: "If you feel that your money has been earned by others and you feel uncomfortable, then you should try your best. I have always asked you to make ordinary daily-use porcelain. Although you earn a small amount, the profit will be huge when the quantity is large. Every time Let me tell you, how did you answer me?"
Ling Ruihong said angrily: "Then I have to ask you, which is more important, your hobbies or eating?"
Xiao Likai waved his hand: "Okay, let's talk about this later."
Ling Ruihong was furious: "Youyou will be mad to death sooner or later!"
Xiao Likai advised: "Oh, don't be angry, there will be bread, there will be milk, everything will be fine."
Ling Ruihong sneered and said, "Hey, I want to see when your words come true."
It was difficult for everyone to interrupt the conversation between the couple, so they focused on the porcelain in the room.
However, Meng Zitao can still feel that Ling Ruihong's disappointment in Xiao Likai is palpable. If this continues, there will definitely be problems in the marriage between the two.
And although Ling Ruihong is not young, she has taken better care of herself. Although she looks smarter, there is no big problem. Even if she gets divorced, it will be easier to find another one.
On the contrary, with Xiao Likai¡¯s technical personality, it would be easy to find a wife like Ling Ruihong who has been a good housekeeper since childhood.
¡° Moreover, Meng Zitao could see that Xiao Likai loved his wife very much. If she divorced, there might be some consequences, which would conflict with his plan. Therefore, even for his own sake, he had to persuade Xiaoli Kai to agree to his plan.
Meng Zitao admired the few pieces of genuine porcelain by Xiao Likai, and then continued to admire the rooms.??High imitation. These high imitations are all very realistic, and none of the porcelain is less than 90% similar to the original. Even experts may not be able to spot the problem.
Once a person concentrates, time will pass unknowingly, and Ling Ruihong has already gone out to prepare lunch.
Xiao Likai said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Meng, it's getting late now. Let's go eat first. We can look at things in the afternoon."
Seeing that it was past eleven-thirty, Meng Zitao nodded and said yes.
Ling Ruihong arranged a sumptuous meal for everyone, and it tasted very good. Everyone ate it happily.
Meng Zitao clinked glasses with Xiao Likai and said, "Teacher Xiao, what are your plans in the future?"
Xiao Likai was startled and asked a little strangely: "What, I don't understand what you mean."
Meng Zitao said: "I want to say, what are your plans for your career?"
"Xiao Likai is not good at drinking. He drank a little more just now. Now his mind is a little confused. He didn't turn around and said, "I don't have any plans. Isn't it good to be like this now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his foot being kicked. He looked at his wife next to him and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Why did you kick me?"
Meng Zitao and the others almost laughed out loud when they saw this scene.
Ling Ruihong glared at her husband fiercely, and said to Meng Zitao apologetically: "I'm sorry, that's what he's like after drinking a little bit. If you have any ideas, just tell me."
Xiao Likai immediately patted his chest and said, "Yes, yes, yes, even though we agreed, I will try my best to do what I can."
Ling Ruihong gently held her forehead, not knowing what to say.
Meng Zitao smiled and said: "Teacher Xiao, my idea is that we jointly set up a porcelain company specializing in high-end porcelain. I wonder if you are interested?"
Xiao Likai scratched his head: "You still want to set up a company? With my brain, I will definitely not be able to do it."
Seeing what her husband said, Ling Ruihong really hated the fact that iron cannot become steel. She was so angry that she itched her teeth and said to herself: "I'll settle the score with you later!"
At the same time, she asked with a smile: "Boss Meng, can you tell us your plan in detail?"
Meng Zitao smiled and said: "Actually, Teacher Xiao, you don't have to worry about business problems. I will ask professionals to handle it. As for Teacher Xiao, your work is actually not much different from now. You are mainly responsible for the research on ancient porcelain. You can find time to do more Just teach one or two apprentices."
"As for your salary, I have two options. First, you can choose the company's shares. Of course, this does not mean that you will not be paid, but it will be much less, and the company will definitely increase the salary in the past two years. The profits are invested in operations, and it is not realistic to pay dividends during this period. Of course, in the long run, it is definitely more cost-effective to choose shares. The second option, I will give you a salary of one million per year"
"What! Are you offering me a salary of one million?" Xiao Likai was stunned, while Ling Ruihong was surprised and a little excited.
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "One million is nothing. I think your craftsmanship is worth the price. In addition, based on the company's annual operations, I will also give you dividends. If the company does well, your salary will double." It's possible to do it several times. Are you satisfied with this condition?"
"This this is too high." Xiao Likai seemed a little incredible. It was not that he had never seen so much money, but it was beyond his expectation that he could have so much money just from salary.
Meng Zitao smiled and said: "I still say that, with your skills, this salary is no problem at all. Of course, it depends on how you choose, whether you want shares or salary."
Xiao Likai struggled for a while and said: "I want"
Ling Ruihong interrupted him: "Boss Meng, let's consider this matter before discussing it. Also, is your business scope limited to the legal scope?"
Xiao Likai immediately realized that he didn¡¯t know much about the company Meng Zitao was talking about, so why did he make the decision so easily? It seemed that drinking was a mistake.
Meng Zitao nodded and said: "This is what it should be. As for the issue of whether the operation is legal, let me put it this way, at least the things sold by our company's own sales department in the future will not have any problems at all."
The couple looked at each other, and Ling Ruihong asked, "Can you explain it more clearly?"
Meng Zitao smiled and said: "My idea is actually very simple. I plan to sell the high imitations made by Teacher Xiao abroad, but this is different from the businessman who ordered high imitations from you before. My plan It is to directly sell high-quality imitations to foreigners, or exchange them for cultural relics from our country and then bring them back to the country."
In fact, Meng Zitao has had this idea for some time, and the reason is related to what he talked about in the chat with Shu Ze and the others in Beijing.
As we all know, after a Yuan blue and white Guiguzi Xiashan porcelain jar was sold for a sky-high price of nearly 230 million in 2005, sky-high price Chinese cultural relics frequently appeared at international auctions, which also ignited the enthusiasm of the collection market.
But it must be mentioned that before the auction of this Guiguzi Xiashan porcelain jar, counting from the day when established auction houses such as Sotheby's were established, there were only 21 pieces of Yuan blue and white porcelain with an auction price of more than one million RMB, but this one After the emergence of sky-high-priced porcelain, more than 20 corresponding auction items appeared (by 2009).
