    Sancai pottery has a profound impact on my country's ceramic art, especially Tang Sancai, which is an epoch-making milestone in the history of ceramics. In addition, Tang Sancai is more in line with foreigners' aesthetic concepts. Therefore, many foreigners like Tang Sancai very much. Some of them are almost degree of totem worship.  " However, domestic collectors prefer to collect blue and white porcelain. It was based on this that Chu Chen had an idea and came up with this idea.  Chu Chen continued: "If someone really buys our things abroad, the money will at least be used by me to buy back the cultural relics scattered abroad, which is better than being made by foreigners. Besides, do you think those foreigners  They are all good people! In foreign countries, even in some large auctions, it is common for fakes to appear. "Isn't this impossible?" Gu Gongyi found it hard to believe what Chu Chen said.  "It's because you don't know much about the antiques industry. Some of the tricks at auctions will probably scare you" Chu Chen chuckled, considering that although Gu Gongyi is half of the antiques industry, he usually  He only focused on studying porcelain and didn't know much about many things in the antique industry, so he introduced some tricks at foreign auctions to Gu Gongyi.  Generally speaking, the main income of most auction houses comes from commission fees. The commissions of domestic auction houses are generally 5-15%, while the commissions of large international auction companies are even higher.  Therefore, for auction companies, raising transaction prices not only allows them to charge more commissions, but also gathers famous buyers and sellers and increases their popularity, which is a good thing for both fame and fortune.  There are many ways to raise the transaction price.  One.  It is to set up a trap on the spot to lure the big fish and raise the transaction price.  Generally, dedicated child care will be set up on site.  It creates a tense atmosphere where multiple people are bidding on the auction items, thereby trapping wealthy people who do not understand the auction items and the inside story of the auction.  And when such a "big fish" enters the auction house.  Because I don¡¯t understand the quality of the auction items, I will pay more attention to the ¡°cover¡± of the auction house¡¯s catalogue, which usually contains some exquisite auction items with ¡°extraordinary origins¡±, as well as calligraphy and painting works by first-line big-name artists.  So there are many ways to distinguish customers in auction houses, one of which is what they call "cover buyers."  Naturally, such a buyer must pay tuition to the auction house.  But these buyers are not fools. Now as more and more inside stories are known about the auction, such big fish are gradually decreasing.  Second, the buyer and seller have reached an agreement privately.  The scene was just a show, and the price was allowed to rise to thousands of miles. In the end, the price was paid according to the predetermined price or even not paid.  The interests of the auction company and the buyers and sellers are the same, and everyone is looking for "fame" or longer-term interests.  We often hear in the news that auction houses have released shocking prices. Carefully check the collectors¡¯ background and find that their main business may be real estate and other industries. There is a longer chain of interests hidden behind this.  In a word, they are good at "empty wolves".  As for what it is for, you are free to imagine.  Third, it is a fake auction to earn commissions from the pockets of those seeking fame and money laundering.  This kind of business is usually found in medium and large auction companies.  There are several purposes for fake auctions: First, some artists who want to become famous use auctions to establish their own prices in the secondary market.  In order to take a shortcut to become famous, they submit their works to auction companies.  Negotiate the commission in advance, and then invite friends to play the game on the spot.  Obtaining the auction record bought a ticket for the work to reach the high market.  The reason for doing this.  This is also because many collectors now aim at investment, and they prefer the money behind art.  Therefore, when buying something, you don¡¯t use your eyes to see the quality of the work, but you use your ears to listen to the price.  This approach is so popular that some young artists can indeed earn a lot of platinum by investing their capital and energy in it. However, the value of art is ultimately determined by the works.  The second type is to use auctions to launder money. It is not difficult to guess who uses this method. Generally, they find a random work and submit it to the auction house to create the transaction record expected by both parties.  The auction company charges a certain amount of commission, so the huge amount of money is tainted.  Finally, there is another big item. As Chu Chen said before, the auction house deliberately purchased fakes and sold them in pursuit of maximum profits.  There is also a saying in the industry that "if you don't auction fakes, the auction house will basically go bankrupt."  In fact, it makes sense when you think about it. If there were no fakes, how could there be so many rare and exquisite products circulating in the market?  Usually, international auction houses create "stories" to make these fake porcelains worth several thousand or tens of thousands of dollars each soar to incredible prices of hundreds or tens of millions.  What made Chu Chen a little angry was that they would use marketing rhetoric such as "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Eight-Nation Alliance" to attract the attention of domestic political and business circles and directly lure domestic buyers.  "As far as I know, the countryWell-known auction houses at home and abroad will send specialists to the porcelain capital every year to negotiate with the high-imitation artists here, and the imitations will be auctioned through various circulation methods.  " Chu Chen said with a smile: "Because according to the "Auction Law", auction companies are not allowed to auction items belonging to the auction company, but there are still many auction companies who try their best to transfer the ownership of the collection to their own names before the auction. In this way  , the auction company can earn both the price difference and the commission.  " Hearing this, Gu Gongyi said with some clarity: "Boss, after hearing what you said, I remembered something. Last month, an acquaintance of mine took a boss over there and said that if I make  The other party was very enthusiastic about the high imitation of the official kiln porcelain of the third generation of the Qing Dynasty. He said that if it was well made, he could order from me every year, and the price would be quite good.  "I told the boss at that time that I wouldn't make anything if I didn't retain my own reputation. He tried to persuade me a few times, but when he saw that I didn't agree, he left angrily. Now that I think about it, judging from his dress, words and deeds,  It seems that that person is probably from the auction company. However, aren't these people afraid that buyers will come to settle accounts with them? " Chu Chen laughed and said, "The auction house has all kinds of evasive measures to really find his head.  It can still be solved, not to mention it is more difficult than climbing to the sky, but it is not much different. One day I will show you the book "Auction Sotheby's" published by British journalist Peter Watson, and you will know the international situation.  What kind of morality does the auction company have?" Hearing this, Gu Gongyi couldn't help but cursed: "Md, these foreign devils who eat people without spitting out their bones! Boss, I agree to what you said!"  When Chen talked about the shady story of the auction house, the hesitation in Gu Gongyi's heart suddenly disappeared without a trace. Just like Chu Chen said, no matter what, the money can contribute to the return of cultural relics, which is better than those who buy it.  It¡¯s good for foreigners to earn money at home.  "Okay!" Chu Chen said with a smile: "However, this matter will not be brought to light after all. As for the expenses for Tang Sancai, don't take away from the laboratory funds. I will allocate it to you separately. Also, this matter  You have to keep it a secret, and it¡¯s best not to tell anyone at home. ¡°After all, he is taking the things abroad to sell. Even if he takes the things to Nannan, the process will be kept confidential, and he will not keep them.  There are no clues about his involvement, but as the old saying goes, if you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. If someone really wants to investigate, they can still doubt him even if there is no evidence.  By then, those people would be unable to do anything to him, but Gu Gongyi would be unlucky. He couldn't be allowed to protect Gu Gongyi all the time, right?  Now, among the people in the car, Wu Ke and Hu Yong will definitely not talk nonsense. The driver of the car is also the person Chu Chen sent to prevent the leakage of the Mao porcelain formula. He will definitely not spread the news today.  .  Therefore, the only one who worried Chu Chen was Gu Gongyi.  Gu Gongyi also knew that this matter was related to his own safety, so he nodded with a serious face and said: "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely not say a word about this in front of outsiders" Next, Chu Chen continued  Gu Gongyi discussed some details of the matter, as well as the development direction of the ceramic laboratory and other topics. Soon, the car drove to Gu Gongyi's kiln factory.  After Gu Gongyi got out of the car, the driver sent them to Cidu Airport.  Although Chu Chen returned to Beijing and took a plane from Shanghai to Beijing, the plane still stopped at the Beijing Airport before five o'clock in the afternoon.  After getting off the plane, Chu Chen sent Wu Ke home directly, and then sent Hu Yong back as well, asking him to return to his hometown early to take care of Li Xiaoping.  And told him that when he gets married, he and Wu Ke will definitely be there.  Afterwards, he drove back to his home.  Because today is Saturday, my sister Chu Yulan is also at home. Seeing Chu Chen come back, the whole family was very happy and asked him what he gained from this outing. Chu Chen also briefly told some of the things that happened.  The family recounted it.  Speaking of which, Chu Chen gained a lot from this trip to Star City and the Porcelain Capital. Not to mention the precious antiques he obtained during the trip, it brought him at least two benefits.  First, Chu Chen¡¯s status in the national antique collecting community has been basically established. Based on Chu Chen¡¯s performance at the exchange meeting, he believes that, at least in the circle, most people will no longer question his appraisal level.  Moreover, because of the theft incident, he showed a strong background. Even if he is as good as the forest, no wind dares to blow him.  The second benefit is that Chu Chen has established a development direction based on the ceramic laboratory (research institute), opening ceramic specialty stores, and promoting Chinese ceramic culture.  Because of establishing this goal, Chu Chen decided to focus on museums, ceramic companies, and jade work in the future.  Among them, museums are mainly used to promote Chinese culture, while ceramic companies promote Chinese ceramic culture and make money.However, Jade Business Chu Chen only used it to provide him with financial convenience.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
