Chapter 45: The prototype of Tang Feng's new plan to solve the first-class Tian Baiyu(1/2)
It is better to express less opinions in such matters. Tang Feng avoided the important things and said: Heroes are good things, and I hope those with ability can donate generously." Repurchasing back has both advantages and disadvantages. There are many ways to commemorate heroes, and repurchasing hero relics is just one of the ways to express them. Moreover, the intention of some foreigners to knock on embroidery levers is already obvious. However, 1 C million RMB is only a valuation. During bidding, those with ulterior motives will continue to raise the bottom price, and the final transaction price will be very high. To put it bluntly, they just want to use the national feelings of the Chinese to make huge profits. From this perspective, Tang Feng's mind is relatively calm. Shi Kefa's Shangfang Sword is essentially different from the righteous inkstone in Tang Feng's hand. He is unable to protect himself and does not need to focus his limited energy on it.
Wei Qi laughed and said, "Xiao Tang is trying to get a fool. I think this Shangfang sword is different from the bronze head of the Summer Palace. It embodies the national spirit of our Chinese nation and should be repurchased."
Tang Feng smiled and said, "Repurchase should be repurchased. The national spirit must be passed on, but we cannot always repurchase by spending money. This is too blind and easy to be used by people with ulterior motives. What we need to promote is the spirit of Shi Kefa, which is not something that a mere Shangfang sword can represent."
Zhang Yuanzhi nodded, agreeing with Tang Feng's opinion very much. Tang Feng felt that it was his villain's heart. Why was the old man so stingy? He was very concerned about Zhang Daqian's "Autumn Landscape Picture".
"I think you have been a little over the height of the nation, right?" At this time, a young man sitting with them, dressed in a very fashionable and non-mainstream manner, said: "I think Shi Kefa's approach is worthy of business, and his ability is not comparable to national heroes like Yue Fei and Wen Tianxiang."
Tang Feng did not know a young man, and Fan Ziyun did not introduce him. Looking at his famous brand clothing, he should be the young master of a rich family. Tang Feng did not want to argue with him. This guy also has a spirit, the ignorant spirit of fearlessness. Zhang Yuanzhi smiled and said, "Xiao Peng's statement is lacking in basis."
Xiao Peng said: "This depends on the time. Shi Kefa defended the lonely city of Yangzhou with no meaningless resistance, and eventually made 800,000 innocent people in Yangzhou the funeral of the Ming Dynasty. In contrast, Fu Zuoyi's peaceful liberation of Peking is more worthy of recognition. Taking a step back can also preserve the vitality and make plans for the future. So the powerful Yuan Dynasty was overthrown by the peasant army?"
On the 20th of 1645 AD, Prince Yu Duoduo surrounded Yangzhou. Shi Kefa issued an emergency proclamation for help but failed. Yangzhou City had become an isolated city. At this critical moment, Li Qifeng, the general general of the garrison in Zhoucheng, and Gao Qifeng, deputy envoy of the army, led his subordinates to surrender. When the situation was over, Shi Kefa personally led his subordinates to defend in sections and decided to survive and die with the city. During this period, Duoduo lured surrender many times, but was sternly rejected by Shi Kefa. On the 22nd, when Yangzhou fell, Shi Kefa had not died, but unfortunately was captured. Duoduo persuaded surrender again, but Shi Kefa still refused and later died heroically. Duoduo suffered a great casualty because the Qing army that was siegeing the city, and cruelly ordered the massacre of Yangzhou people for ten days, with 800,000 deaths called "Yangzhou Ten Days".
Wei Qizheng said: "Peaceful liberation of Peking is a conflict within the people, while the Qing Dynasty is comparable to the foreign tribes. At that time, there was no way to retreat. The facts prove that the Southern Ming regime collapsed soon after the fall of the state. The ten-day massacre in Yangzhou was the cruelty of the Qing Dynasty's Tatars. It was definitely not because of the excessive casualties. How much casualties can there be in only two days of siege? This is just an excuse made by the Qing Dynasty."
Xiao Peng said: "What if Shi Kefa is the most important thing? There are so many cities behind it, and the Qing army would not have massacred for the sake of the future."
"According to your meaning," Tang Feng asked: "If Nanjing surrendered, there would be no Nanjing Massacre? Wherever there is invasion, there is resistance. Resistance is not a geographical reason for massacre. It cannot be an excuse for the invaders to return to their beastly nature."
"This is a change of concepts." Xiao Peng said: "No matter how much the Manchus say it is, they are the Chinese nation. They are different from Japan during World War II."
Tang Feng shook his head and said, "Is there any difference between the Qing Dynasty and the Japanese invaders in World War II? On ten days in Yangzhou, there were three massacres in Jiading. That time, there were fewer people in the massacre than in the Nanjing Massacre?"
Xiao Peng said: "But it turns out that we finally completed ethnic integration. The Manchus are still a member of the Chinese nation's big family."
"Fusion? There is no such thing as fusion!" Tang Feng sneered: "It's just because the Manchus' own culture is too weak and assimilated by the deeply rooted Han culture. If they have the same strong culture, we are now slaves of the country!"
In the late Ming Dynasty, Huang Daozhou, a master of divine Chinese studies, looked calm before being executed. He tore open his clothes and bit his right index finger. He wrote a blood book on the Eight Characters: The eternal and eternal meaning will last forever.
The principles and moral principles are the two most sacred cornerstones in Chinese Confucian culture. The reason why so many literati are determined to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty is all due to these four words. These literati did not receive much kindness from the Ming Dynasty. Before that, most of them were far away from the world and were depressed and unsuccessful. However, the vested interests of the old dynasty, such as Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui, were moving faster than anyone else.
When the old dynasty fell, Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, and Liu Zongzhou, all famous scholars all chose to sacrifice their lives for their country. They paid tribute to the dynasty established by Zhang San and Li Si, but a deeply rooted culture.
The wheel of time was slowly swaying and finally lost its direction in Jiashen. So a ancestral hall was built on the banks of the Shrimp West Lake and on Meihua Ridge to commemorate this tragedy. The weak scholar named Shi Kefa did not want to spread his high bun, nor could he take off the clothes left by his ancestors. So he decided to coexist with the city, lose his life, and protect his faith. The cruel killing, like a mountain bone, cannot bury the spirit of the nation. Some people believe that in a thousand years, it will still shine on the land of China. [Quote]
Is Shi Kefa's Shangfang sword important? Of course it is important,
Spirit is more important. Repurchasing a sword cannot repurchase the national spirit. The villain's understanding of history is our real lack.
"Oh, I have something to do." Tang Feng looked at the time and said, "You guys chat slowly, we'll leave first." After that, Tang Feng made a serious polite approach and left with Lin Muyu.
On the way, Lin Muyu said to Tang Feng: "What's the point of fighting for you, a big child under 20 years old? Not everyone is as precocious as you."
Tang Feng nodded and said, "It's true that I'm too much."
Lin Muyu asked Tang Feng: "Now, are you planning to buy back this Shangfang Sword?"
Tang Feng shrugged and said, "I am still at the level of being poor and being alone. Repurchase? Let's talk about it when I arrive at the level of helping the world."
"It's rare that you can see it so easily." Lin Mu said: "Last time I saw you trying hard to bid for Su Dongpo's manuscript, but I thought you were obsessed with it?"
Tang Feng said: "How could it be that Su Dongpo's collection of manuscripts is very valuable? What I collect is not manuscripts, but culture."
After a while, Tang Feng and Lin Muyu returned to the living room of Shanghai Shide, Mingcheng smiled and took out a contract, saying, "Mr. Tang, we decided to accept your entrustment and sign it."
Tang Feng took the contract and looked at it. The estimated price of the lever plate is 10,000 yuan, and the commission fee is 20% of the transaction price; while the estimated price of the jade seal is 15 million yuan, and the commission fee is actually 25% of the transaction price. The sales house wants to use it for one quarter of the transaction price, which is too terrifying.
Zhang Mingcheng patiently explained to Tang Feng that most of the transaction price records of Chinese antiques were created at their Christie's or Sotheby's auctions. Only through their operations can these two antiques, Tang Feng's transaction price be maximized, so the cost is higher than that of domestic auctions.
Feng asked again: "How can the commission fee of the jade seal reach 25% of the transaction price?"
Zhang Mingcheng said: "I can tell you this way, except for us Christie's and Sotheby's, no auction house dares to take over this auction commission."
Tang Feng immediately asked, "What do you mean is my jade seal authentic?"
Zhang Mingcheng nodded and said, "Yes, the authentic product that was replaced by fake bags. We have conclusive evidence to prove that all the data of Fang Yuxi is exactly consistent with the records of the jade seal of the Qing Palace."
Tang Feng smiled and asked, "So, is the jade seal in the Palace Museum fake?"
"Haha." Zhang Mingcheng said with a loud laugh: "I didn't say that.
”
"I understand this, you don't want to sue for an academic lawsuit." Tang Feng said: "For the last question, can you reveal your basis for appraisal?"
Zhang Mingcheng was a little embarrassed, and said, "This is our business secret, I can only reveal a little to you." Then, Zhang Mingcheng took out the remote control and pressed it. The curtain on the wall opposite the desk slowly opened, and a large screen LCD screen was above it. The monitor started, and two red seals appeared on the screen. Zhang Mingcheng explained, "The seal on the above is the image we scanned from the imperial edict with the authentic jade seal. The seal on the lower seal is the seal on your jade seal." Afterwards, Zhang Mingcheng pressed the remote control again, and the two seals were completely overlapped, without any deviation, and even the flaws in the seal were exactly the same.
Zhang Mingcheng looked at Tang Feng with a smile and said, "Mr. Tang, I will not be convenient for me to disclose other aspects. Don't worry, as long as we accept the commission, we will do our best. The higher the transaction price, the more we can get."
Lin Muyu took the contract from Tang Feng and continued to look down. When she saw the last one, her face changed slightly. She asked Zhang Mingcheng: "Why should I get it to Christie's in Hong Kong for auction?"
Zhang Mingcheng smiled knowingly and replied to her: "Miss Lin, please rest assured, we will keep the trade secrets as agreed."
As soon as he said this, he was leaking secrets. Tang Feng and Lin Muyu understood it as soon as they heard it. There is a possibility that some Chinese cultural relics auctioned overseas do not come from overseas, but from domestic sales and exports, and their value will double, especially when it comes to sensitive cultural relics such as the bronze head of the Old Summer Palace. Using national feelings to make huge profits is the opposite of making money from the national crisis, but the nature is the same. If this is true, these people's intentions will be too vicious.
Zhang Mingcheng wanted to take Tang Feng's jade seal to Hong Kong for auction, but he wanted to lean on it. Although this could increase the profits, the risks were very high. If the news leaked, Tang Feng would immediately become the target of public criticism, and the saliva of the people across the country would drown him, and any sharp hat could be placed on his head.
Lin Muyu looked at Tang Feng and asked, "What did you think about it?"
Tang Feng said readily: "It's the same wherever you take it to auction. I completely agree. This does not involve any issue of confidentiality or not. I have a clear conscience."
Tang Feng never thought about using any national sentiment. Strictly speaking, jade seals are not as good as the standard for national first-class cultural relics. China's feudal society lasted for more than 2,000 years. Throughout history, all dynasties and generations have jade seals, not to mention tens of thousands, at least thousands. It's not that there are so many surviving quantities. It's nothing to sell them to foreigners. The value of cultural relics is ultimately measured by money. Such cultural relics that are not as national treasures should be sold to reflect their value. China is a great antique country with the largest variety of antique resources in the world. However, with resources, we spend money every year to buy back the cultural relics that originally belonged to us. This is completely putting the cart before the horse.
Tang Feng's idea is clear and the best one is to take back. If he can make money with high-impact counterfeits, it would be even better to use the money he earned to buy back the national treasures. Thinking of this, a plan appeared in Tang Feng's mind. He must find the group of people who made fake Han Dynasty pottery figurines and blue and white underglaze red as soon as possible. If this matter is done well, it will definitely be a shortcut to become a collector. For counterfeiting, you must also fake high-quality products and specialize in counterfeiting those lost porcelain dragons.
Only by crossing the sea can you make a lot of money from foreigners. Just like those people, you can cheat and make small money. Not only will you say that God is greeted by people, but things will happen sooner or later.
Everything has two sides. Personal fights are called fights, and fighting among the whole country is called revolution; random fraud is of course a crime organization that harms the country and the people, but it is very different. It is worthy of the country, the people, and the conscience of oneself. The most important thing is that it can make a lot of money.
Tang Feng himself could not have thought that he would get such unexpected gains from this unexpected trip to Yangzhou. At least, he had the prototype of a complete plan. In order to achieve his ideal goal, he must start making money now and not always be tossed by antiques, so as to lay the foundation for the implementation of the plan in the future. Those people made fakes just for money. As long as they could make a lot of money safely, they would know where they should go.
Zhang Mingcheng handed the Montblanc golden pen in his hand to Tang Feng and said, "That's great. If you sign a letter, you will leave the things for us to keep."
Tang Feng took the pen and signed the contract in duplicate. Even if the contract takes effect, in March 2010, Tang Feng's jade seal of Qing Dynasty "Treasure of the Anmin" and the lotus petal hexagonal plate of the Kangxi Qing Dynasty's Qing Dynasty will be auctioned at the Christie's Spring Auction. At that time, Hong Kong Christie's will send an invitation letter to Tang Feng so that he can handle the procedures for going to Hong Kong.
Everything was done, and the two opened the Shanghai Mall. At this time, Tang Feng was already homeless. He asked Lin Muyu, "Does Muyu want to play in Shanghai?"
Lin Muyu shook her head and said, "I don't have the time to play, let's go back to Beijing."
Tang Feng turned around and said seriously over Lin Muyu's shoulders: "Muyu, I will definitely accompany you when I'm busy."
Lin Muyu smiled and said, "Follower, being able to be busy together is the greatest happiness."
"Let's go, let's take the bus back." Feng smiled and said, "But, Mu Yu, I have to pay the fare this time. My pockets are cleaner than my face now."
Lin Muyu clenched his fists and knocked him on Tang Feng's mouth, saying, "Tang Feng, when will you no longer share with you, I will be considered true love for Muyu."
"What kind of stingy words can you say?" Tang Feng took Lin Muyu's hand and the two walked forward.
The next day, Tang Feng and Lin Muyu both came to China Stone. When Chen Yan saw them, he immediately came over and said, "Oh, you are back."
”
Tang Feng asked Chen Yan: "Is business very good recently?"
Chen Yan nodded and said, "Your indirect advertising on TV has begun to show results. Recently, it is the peak season for the jewelry industry. The performance is really good. Zhou Zhitong and Lu Guang are both processing stones at our house. Here, He Jun and I are watching. Sometimes they are too busy. It is really difficult to do business. The business is not easy and busy."
"Where is that piece of Hetian jade material? Have you arrived?" Tang Feng kept thinking about the stone in his heart.
Chen Yan said: "It has arrived and it is placed in the store. If the store hadn't been equipped with incomplete equipment, I would have untied it long ago."
Tang Feng asked: "Does it be time to purchase goods again recently?"
Chen Yan said: "We prepared a lot last time, so it's not a big problem to go there in a month."
"That's good." Tang Feng asked Chen Yan: "Where is this Hetian jade to be solved? If the price is reduced, I plan to sell it. If it is resolved, I will see my crow's mouth."
Chen Yan said: "That's easy to deal with. Take the wool trading market of Beijing International Jewelry Trade Center to solve it and sell it on the spot."
Lin Muyu reminded Tang Feng: "Tang Feng, should you consider expanding your business?"
Chen Yan nodded and said, "That's what I mean."
Tang Feng nodded slightly and said, "It's time to expand the business." China Stone is still in the stage of workshop-style store management. If you want to expand to company management, Tang Feng and the others still have many things to do. The first thing they have to do is to separate production and sales. In order to form a scale, you have to consider opening a branch. Tang Feng continued, "Start the expansion from the mid-range Kunlun Jade first. If things go well, I will go to Xinjiang in two days."
Chen Yan said: "Tang Feng, your concept should be changed. You don't have to go to Xinjiang to purchase Kunlun jade. Beijing can find anything in the heart of our country. Kunlun jade materials are sold in the International Jewelry Trade Center. Since the launch of the medals for gold-inlaid jade at the Beijing Olympics, things have become popular." The medals for gold-inlaid jade are Kunlun jade. Before and after the Olympics, the price of Kunlun jade has increased seven times, which is the embodiment of the Olympic economy.
Tang Feng thought about it and wanted to make Chinese stone bigger and stronger, he had to subdivided it. Generally, low-value-added raw materials were purchased in Beijing, and this kind of thing could be left to Chen Yan; high-value-added high-end raw materials were purchased from the place of origin, and he had to go to the matter himself, and it would be even better if he could just collect some antiques.
Chen Yan said: "I have something to do recently, hey, I feel a little embarrassed to speak."
"You can't have an affair, right?" Tang Feng said in a squint manner when he saw Chen Yan.
"Go to you, this is a serious matter." Chen Yan said seriously: "I am going to participate in the annual jade carving. The stone carving Grand Prix is the champion cup of the carving industry."
"Well." Tang Feng nodded and said, "This is a good thing." The jade carving and stone carving Grand Prix that Chen Yan mentioned was held by the China Jewelry and Jade Association. It aims to discover talents, guide collections, and promote consumption. It is the highest-level event in the Chinese jade carving and stone carving industry. If Chen Yan can win the award of Chinese stone, his contribution to participating in the treasure appraisal column is no less than that of Tang Feng, and after tasting the sweetness of live advertisements, Chen Yan also began to try it out.
Lin Muyu smiled and said to Chen Yan: "Look at Brother Chen is confident, you should be sure to win the gold medal."
"Look, look, Mu Yu, you are also starting to laugh at me." Chen Yan said: "Don't you know how much you have? I participated last year, but I was not shortlisted. The competition is too fierce. Liu Shunan claims to be good at craftsmanship every year.
The result is the same as me. Speaking of this, it’s really embarrassing. My uncle commented: He took the blood-stone sculpture of "Seeking Plum in the Dark Night" and asked him if he had any hope of winning the award. As a result, what do you guess what he said?"
Tang Feng said: "From your tone, there must be no hope."
Lin Muyu said, "He at least has to encourage you."
"He said, this thing is good, there is hope, and there is great hope." Chen Yan spoke in Fan Chengru's tone as if he was decent. He said: "It's so beautiful before he can be carved. The effect of carving must be good."
"Haha." Lin Muyu smiled and said, "Isn't that what you have ever done? Your uncle is trying to make fun of you."
"Who said no?" Chen shook his head and said, "You said that Master Uncle is so old, why do you still love to harm others? This thing is my hard work. But I understand. If I want to win the award, I still need to work hard on inspiration. Mu Yu needs to help me in this matter. In addition, I have to work hard on the material. Finding good materials will lead to twice the result with half the effort. It is best to be water gall agate, old honey blood amber, etc. Tang Feng has to help me in this matter."
