Chapter 148 The tricks in the antique industry

"Uncle De. Is what you said true one by one? Zhuang Rui looked at Uncle De with an unexpected expression. Uncle De's words just now shocked him too much.

Because he was really a little curious, Zhuang Rui asked Uncle De what dirty things he could do in the pawnshop. After all, he has also worked here for more than a year. Although I don't care much about the pawnshop's business. But I haven't seen anything unacceptable happen, Uncle De just said. Instead, it aroused his curiosity.

When asked by Zhuang Rui, Uncle De also said it. It turned out that there were also pawnshops in various pawnshops. After all, now the means of counterfeiting cultural relics are becoming more and more sophisticated. Many cultural relics are even more real than the big door, which makes it difficult to distinguish the true from the false. It is really not to blame for these appraisers for their poor level, if they are I'm afraid that some master appraisal experts will be fooled.

It is reasonable that after the pawnshop collects these fake objects, they should be sealed or destroyed, but when they buy these objects. It often costs a large amount of money. If it is dealt with according to formal channels, some pawnshops, together with auction houses, auction these fake antiques, and issue the pawnshop's dead documents, which are hyped by the auction house. Use fakes to deceive some antique lovers or ordinary collectors who are not very high-level.

Because most people have a psychology of taking advantage. There are dead documents issued by the pawnshop. In addition, there is the strong bragging on the auction house's promotional poster page, coupled with the relatively low starting price, which makes many people flock to it. Often this kind of auction is the easiest to buy, but those buyers who think they are buying are actually fake.

In recent years, some rich private enterprise bosses have begun to invest in the new antique industry, and some have spent a lot of money. Specializing in picking "top" national treasures, some lions open their mouths, come up to "eat all" and some people are superstitious from overseas "Taobao", and this part of the rich people, that is, the object of the pawnshop and the auction house to kill people.

"Why did my old man lie to you, but you just need to know about it. Don't spread it. It's easy to offend people. Although there are family rules and regulations, nowadays, not many people pay attention to this. If you say that you go out and ruin other people's jobs, someone will try their best to find you.

When Uncle De saw Zhuang Rui's dissentful face, he gradually solemnly warned him that this kind of thing was widely involved, and even with the participation of some large multinational auction companies, which was extremely powerful, but not the two. People can be shaken. He is afraid that Zhuang Rui will be impulsive and poke out this matter, and then Zhuang Rui will not be able to gain a foothold in this industry.

Even Uncle De himself, sometimes under some pressure, he will take out three or two eye-catching items and give them to the auction house for auction. It's just that the pawnshop was established for a short time. Such things have only happened once or twice, but this is why Uncle De decided to step down as a manager.

.

"Uncle De, these rich people can also be regarded as elites. Isn't it so easy to be fooled? Won't they ask someone to identify it?"

Zhuang Rui was a little puzzled. He wanted to go to the store stall to buy fake things. That's extenuable, but tens of thousands or millions to buy antiques, then buyers will be very cautious. It should not be easy for pawnshops and auction houses to fool these people.

Others don't say, but the Shanxi Ma Fatty that Zhuang Rui knows will take a special appraiser when he goes to participate in various auctions. At the Zhuoyuan auction in Tibet, because Fatty Ma was traveling, no appraiser followed him.

Uncle De smiled bitterly when he heard the words and said, "Xiaozhuang, there are many things that are not as simple as you think. For example, even I can't tell the real from the fake for a while. You expect other appraisers to be in a short auction process. Can you recognize it? Many buyers who put the photographed object at home for a few years will not know that it is fake.

Let me give you another example. Now there are about four or five thousand people in the jade antique industry in Xijiang Province, but there are only dozens of people who really know the goods, and most of them are folk lovers. Others have been successful in other aspects of business, and they have switched to jade antiques to "play tickets"

Some people in the circle like these bosses who are rich and face-loving, so they deliberately set up a trap to let them drill in. As the saying goes: gold is priceless. Many people think that jade is a priceless treasure, and the price can rise by boasting all over the sky. In fact, it is the same as gold and silver. Jade is also valuable, and in the eyes of the appraiser, the general valuation will not be too different.

As Uncle De said, he untied a white jade glaze from his waist and handed it to Zhuang Rui. Then he continued, "This thing was a piece of Hetian jade material that I collected myself and found someone to process it. According to my own estimate, it can be about 15,000 yuan. A few days ago, someone offered me 22,000 yuan. I didn't take action. This thing is quite exquisite. It's good to keep it for fun.

Xiaozhuang, I said 20,000 yuan, this is just the price in the circle. If you take it to the market and sell it in a large mall or jewelry store, such a pendant should be worth at least 10,000 yuan. This is the gap between inside and outside the circle. Some bosses like to buy jewelry and jade at a bargain price in the mall, and think they are very cheap. Unexpectedly, he let the insiders see the jokes.

Let me tell you a true story. It only happened before and after a year. There was a "strong" boss in Xijiang, and he also fell in love with the antique collection industry. Before the New Year, he spent 10,000 yuan to buy delicious food and invited a jade identification expert in Beijing. I also know that person. The boss asked the expert to spend a lot of effort on the jade collected from home and abroad for identification. After reading it, the expert refused. It took at least half a year to identify Gu Yu. It was not easy to come to a conclusion, so I left in a hurry.

After the Spring Festival, the boss found me and let me take a look. Do you know, none of the dozens of so-called most valuable ancient jade were before the Song Dynasty, and several were Ming and Qing jade. It's already very good. It's more antique jade. Of course, jade is real jade, but the value of using antique technology to restore the new jade is very different.

Zhuang Rui was stunned by Uncle De's words. It turned out that there were so many traps in this industry, but he was still a little puzzled and asked, "Uncle De, these people who buy antiques or jade as you said, they bought fakes in the auction house. Can they give up? These people are not ordinary people who are bullied by others. Won't they go to the back account?

Uncle De smiled and said that he was a little thirsty. He poured himself a cup of tea. After drinking it, he said, "Ya, you are still too tender." What you can think of? Will you think that you only write "crafts" and Guang on the invoice of thousands of lines? The publicity on the poster page is completely different, and it's useless for you to sue if you suffer a loss.

Those big bosses who collect antiques and jade may be business wizards. They are the best in their profession, but they are separated by mountains. If they can succeed in this industry, they are not as successful in other industries. Moreover, the appreciation of jade antiques is "Tongzi Gong Taijiquan" without ten years of training, and they can't I've been playing with the old man all my life, and I've hit my eyes a lot. What's more, those bosses who think they are experts after reading a few books.

Uncle De's words made Zhuang Rui blush a little. He just read a few books by himself. The kind of people who think they have a good level, but Zhuang Rui is still different from those bosses. At least he wants him to pay tuition fees. Those who fake it may have to make aura in fake antiques.

All right, let's go to the conference room. It's almost time. It's time to have a meeting today, which is to clarify your appointment.

After Uncle De finished speaking, he stood up, took the jade cricket handed over by Zhuang Rui, and hung it on his waist. Zhuang Rui's eyes were sharp. Seeing that there were still three or four jades hanging on Uncle De's waist, the whole of them bought jade.

Uncle De walked to the door of the room and suddenly remembered something. He turned around and said to Zhuang Rui, "Xu Ling's little girl is a little playful. Now it's during the viewing period. If you are stunned, you can completely fire her, but she has performed well during this period, so don't let her see it in general

Zhuang nodded, and then he realized why Xu Ling's attitude towards her was so respectful when she entered the pawnshop in the morning. She dared not to leave her all in her own words, but Zhuang Rui was also lazy to care about her. Encountering bandits was a natural and man-made disaster. Then again, there was no such thing. I'm afraid that my eyes can't have powers.

The conference room of the pawnshop is actually a modified office, which is not big. It is a round table that can seat seven or eight people. At this time, there are only Xu Ling and Lai Jindong sitting next to the round table, as well as three salespersons in the Jued area. As for Wang, he must have disappeared. Uncle De He called to inform him in person, but he came later than he came.

Judgment. Lai, what about Wang?

"Uncle De, a customer just came. There are several pieces of jewelry that need to be identified by Wang. It will be in his office now. It may be a little later." Lai Jindong's attitude towards Uncle De was much better than before, but when he saw Zhuang Rui, he just nodded slightly and looked unreasonable

.

Hearing that Wang must be receiving customers, Uncle De's face softened and let Zhuang Rui sit at the first place of the table. Uncle De looked around at several people. He said, "Today, I announce the appointment. After the leadership research decision of the investment company, Comrade Zhuang Rui has been appointed as the manager of the pawnshop to be responsible for daily administrative affairs. What problems do you have in the future? Just find Manager Zhuang, and I hope that everyone can support Manager Zhuang's work like supporting my work in the future.

After Uncle De said this, Lai Jindong's face, which was still smiling, slowly became stiff. Zhuang Rui took over as the manager of the pawnshop. In the inside of the pawnshop, except for Uncle De, only Xu Ling learned a little through the relationship with the investment company, and Lai Jindong and Wang must not know about this at all.

In Lai Jindong's eyes, Zhuang Rui used to be just a little kid who graduated from the Internet. He had no experience and no background. They never regarded him as a competitor. They both knew that Uncle De would step down as manager after a period of time, so they both respected Uncle De during this period of time. Yes, I hope Uncle De can help them with a few words in front of the leaders of the investment company. Add points.

But I didn't expect that Zhuang Rui, who was injured in the robbery a year ago, became his own leader on the first day of work today. In this way, Lai Jindong, who has been fighting with Wang for half a year. This fact was completely unacceptable for a while.

"Uncle De, the investment company should have a document for something like this, right?"

Lai Jindong asked reluctantly. He knew that Uncle De and Zhuang Rui were in good relationship. It was hard to guarantee that this was not decided by Uncle De himself.

"Of course, there is the appointment document of Manager Zhuang. It's been more than a month since I came down, but he has been recovering from his injury, so I didn't announce it. Let's take a look.

Uncle De took out a red-headed document from his bag. It is clearly written at the beginning of the document: appoint Comrade Zhuang Rui as the manager of the pawnshop. After Lai Jindong took it, his face became as ugly as as ashes.

"Let me say a few words, everyone knows each other. There is no need to introduce myself. Now I will talk about the work arrangement of the pawnshop in the future. Xu Ling continues to be responsible for the cashier's work. She should do a good job in handing over the money and goods to the bank every day. Xiao Xie is still responsible for the absolute area. As for the appraiser

When Zhuang Rui said this, he paused and woke up the dazed Lai Jindong. After seeing this document, Lai Jindong understood that unless he resigned, he would have to be led by Zhuang Rui in the future. At this moment, when he heard Zhuang Rui mention his name, he couldn't help looking at Zhuang Rui, and at the same time secretly I made up my mind. If Zhuang Rui touches his professional field, he will submit his resignation immediately.

"As for the expert, his professional knowledge is very famous in the industry. In this way, there will be auctions of luxury goods and foreign art in the future. It will be up to you and Wang's expert to negotiate with the auction house. I don't ask about the specific matters, and I will also advise the investment company. Give you full and responsible power."

Zhuang Rui's words made Lai Jindong, who was originally dead, completely stupid. He and Wang must have been competing for the manager for more than half a year. First, it is for the investment fund, and second, it is for the authority to establish a cooperative relationship with the auction house. There are too many tricks in it. If the operation is good, Earning one or two million a year is not a big problem.

In the past, Uncle De grabbed this power in his hands. According to Lai Jindong's idea, Zhuang Rui became this. After the manager, he will definitely firmly hold this right, but he didn't expect that at the beginning of his tenure, he actually delegated the right to communicate with the auction house to the two of them, and officially reported it to the investment company, which made Lai Jindong feel like a dream.
