Chapter 53

"According to your words, don't I have to find some white beard to stick to my face?"

Jing Shizhen glanced at Su Xiaofan angrily.He knew what Su Xiaofan meant, he was mocking those experts.

"In our circle, although some people are touted, but without real talents, they can't go far."

These yearbook treasure programs have become popular recently, and a group of treasure appraisal experts have emerged as the times require.

The audience watched the excitement, but insiders know that these treasure appraisal experts are also good and bad, and there are not a few of them running around to make money.

"By the way, Uncle Jing, how old are you?"

Su Xiaofan looked at Jing Shizhen curiously.

According to Su Xiaofan's understanding, Jing Shizhen returned to China to set up Jingxintang more than 40 years ago, so no matter how young she is, she must be in her 20s.

In other words, Jing Shizhen is at least over 60 now, and if you haven't seen the shopkeeper Yuan with a white beard in Luochuan Jingxin Hall, you have to call Brother Jing.

But from the outside, Jing Shizhen definitely looks like a middle-aged uncle.

You can say that he is 40 years old. If he dresses more fashionable, some people will believe him when he goes out in his 30s.

"What are you doing with all this idle time? I'm talking to you about the show." Jing Shizhen waved her hands a little dissatisfied.

"Uncle Jing, how old are you? How is this maintained? Tell me."

Su Xiaofan is not interested in those treasure appraisal programs at all, but is very curious about Jing Shizhen.

You know, when setting up a stall in the Luochuan Antique Market, Jing Shizhen was in Su Xiaofan's heart, she was a god-like figure, and it is definitely not an exaggeration to use the word worship to describe it.

Su Xiaofan didn't expect that one day he would be so familiar with Jing Shizhen, so he naturally wanted to know more about his idol.

"I'm 68 this year, okay? It's useless to care about these things."

Jing Shizhen was overwhelmed by Su Xiaofan, so she revealed her age.

"Uncle Jing, how did you take care of it? When we two went out, people would believe you were my elder brother."

Su Xiaofan's words were a bit exaggerated, but they were not too far off the mark. Jing Shizhen's appearance was indeed far from her actual age.

Su Xiaofan suddenly exclaimed, and said: "Uncle Jing, you must have been given an injection, right? I see that nine out of ten of those celebrities have received injections, and they look very young."

"go away."

Jing Shizhen was told by Su Xiaofan that she had black lines on her head.

"The health-preserving skills I practice, it's strange to look younger. Hey, I said you boy, why do you always change the topic?"

"Uncle Jing, I really don't want to participate in the treasure appraisal program."

Su Xiaofan was overwhelmed by Jing Shizhen, so he couldn't help but smiled wryly, but he didn't take Jing Shizhen's words about health preservation to heart. Some male stars in their 60s looked about 40 or [-] years old.

As for the Appreciation of Treasures program, it's fine for Su Xiaofan to watch it as an audience, but Su Xiaofan is not happy to let him go on stage and be watched as a show.

"You kid knows what a fart!"

Jing Shizhen took a sip of tea, moistened her throat, and said, "You think I'm fine and willing to appear on those shows? I'm short of those two appearance fees?"

"Huh? Still have money? Uncle Jing, how much did they pay? You didn't tell me about this earlier..."

Hearing that there is still an appearance fee, Su Xiaofan's eyes lit up immediately, if you mentioned that you can make money, then we can continue chatting.

"How fresh, there is no appearance fee, and those 'experts' will starve to death more than half?"

Jing Shizhen laughed.

"Uncle Jing, how much is your appearance fee?" Su Xiaofan asked.

"Me? I'm 50."

Although Jing Shizhen seldom participates in treasure appraisal programs, he is well-known in the industry, and the fee for inviting him to appear is far beyond what those experts can compare.

And Jing Shizhen really didn't like the 50 yuan.

He usually appraises an object in the store, and it is more than a hundred thousand, and the less is tens of thousands.

But when you go to the on-site appraisal of the show, you have to see how many antiques, so Jing Shizhen must be at a loss.

"Then if I go, how much can I pay?" Su Xiaofan was most concerned about this question.

"You? About fifty thousand."

Jing Shizhen was a little unsure, for 3 yuan, Yanjing Taiwan had a lot of money, some 'experts' who ran around the field, and the appearance fee was only [-] to [-] yuan.

"so little?"

Su Xiaofan was a little disappointed.

"[-] is still less? Do you really consider yourself an expert?" Jing Shizhen squinted at Su Xiaofan.

"[-] is quite a lot. Before, I would have to earn it for several months."

Su Xiaofan was taken aback by Jing Shizhen's words, he was a little bloated recently, and he didn't even care about 5 yuan.

"I participated in the Appreciation of Treasures program, and what I valued was not the appearance fee."

Jing Shizhen said: "Xiao Su, you know that I open a shop to sell antiques, what is the most important thing?"

"Customer source? Supply source?"

Su Xiaofan replied based on his own experience of setting up a stall: "When I set up a stall, the most important thing is the source of customers. The transaction rate of tourists is relatively low. Some old customers who like to collect bronzes are the most stable source of income."

The bronze wares that Su Xiaofan sells at the stall are all made by himself, so there is no problem with the supply of goods.

How to sell the produced products is what Su Xiaofan needs to consider at that time.

"What you said makes sense, but the most important thing for Jingxin Hall is the source of goods..."

Jing Shizhen also wanted to mention Su Xiaofan, and immediately said: "Jingxintang sells through many channels, domestic and international auction houses cooperate with me, don't worry about that.

But antiques are non-renewable resources, no matter how many Jingxintang collections are, they will always be sold out one day, so they need to be constantly replenished..."

"Uncle Jing, participating in the appreciating treasure program, can you replenish the supply?" Su Xiaofan heard something.

"Yes, and there are more benefits." Jing Shizhen nodded and explained to Su Xiaofan.

Compared with museums and some collectors, private collections are absolutely huge.

The Appreciation Program is to unearth these collections and let the audience realize the value of these collections.

Jing Shizhen doesn't need to buy antiques from the treasure appraisal show, he just needs to let these collections enter the circulation system of the market.

When the market is revitalized, the business of Jingshizhen antique shop will be more and more prosperous.

Of course, if some people are willing to sell antiques on the spot, as long as there is a profit, Jing Shizhen is also willing to accept it.

After all, antique shops are in business, buying low and selling high is a business, and he can't rely on picking up leaks to prop up the entire meditation hall.

The antiques in Jingxintang's warehouse were collected according to market rules in all likelihood, and Jing Shizhen personally picked up only a very small number of items.

However, there are also some experts who have no moral bottom line, give lower quotations at the scene of treasure appraisal, and then go back to the treasure holder to buy the object and make a profit from it.

Jing Shizhen didn't bother to do this kind of thing. With him at the appraisal site, such a thing would not happen.

Participating in treasure-appreciating programs is also beneficial to Jingxintang, that is, advertising.

Needless to say, Jingxintang is recognized as the industry leader in the industry.

But for folk treasure holders, Jingxintang is a bit far away from their lives. Many people know the four major auction houses, but they may not know Jingxintang.

So participating in treasure-appreciating programs can also make the name of Jingxintang known to ordinary people.

These things are subtle, just like advertisements, sometimes you will recognize it unconsciously after watching too much.

If the viewers in front of the TV have antiques in their hands, when they think about selling them, they will naturally think of Jingxintang.

"That's not good for me, is it?" After listening to Jing Shizhen's explanation, Su Xiaofan shook his head.

It seems that apart from the appearance fee, there is nothing attractive to Su Xiaofan. He can't develop Luo Chuan's street stall into a stall for collecting antiques.

"Huh? It seems that it is not impossible."

Suddenly, Su Xiaofan's heart moved, opened an antique shop by himself, wouldn't he be able to cash in those cheap antiques?

It is too conspicuous for individuals to pick up leaks, but it is only natural for antique shops to sell antiques.

As for the source of antiques in the store, as long as the goods sold are not cultural relics or stolen goods prohibited by the state, Su Xiaofan has absolutely no need to explain to anyone.

"That's a good idea. We must open an antique shop."

Thinking of this channel for cashing out, the problem that has plagued Su Xiaofan these days is suddenly solved,
"Now Luochuan opens a store, and then we can open a branch in Yanjing..."

Su Xiaofan murmured in his heart, the future of money is good, and after that, it seems that he can marry Bai Fumei and reach the pinnacle of life.

"Hey, I said you kid, what are you thinking about?"

Jing Shizhen's voice interrupted Su Xiaofan's imagination, "Are you going to this treasure appraising show? If you don't, I'll cancel it and let them find someone again."

"By the way, participating in this program is actually good for you."

"What's the benefit?"

Su Xiaofan feels that he is very vulgar now, such an elegant thing like antiques makes him feel full of copper.

"This time it's a miscellaneous column, maybe there's something you need."

"Meteorite?"

Su Xiaofan's eyes lit up immediately. For now, absorbing meteorites is definitely the most stable channel to increase repair value that Su Xiaofan knows.

"That's right, I've seen it before on the show."

Jing Shizhen nodded, and said: "You also know that miscellaneous antiques cover a wide range of things, almost everything.

Many people will bring objects that they don't understand or don't know the value to come to appraise. If you are lucky, you may meet someone who takes a meteorite. "

According to Jing Shizhen, the probability of selling items at the Jianbao site is very high.

Not all antiques make it to auction.

Some antiques with relatively low value or niche, when the treasure holder needs funds, many of them are sold directly at the treasure appraisal site.

Therefore, there are often many collectors and people from antique shops on the scene of treasure appraisal programs. Jing Shizhen's participation in such programs can be regarded as the first to get a good reputation.

"Uncle Jing, you've already spoken, I have to go!"

Su Xiaofan chuckled, and said: "But Uncle Jing, you can help me raise the price for the appearance fee. The appearance fee of the person you introduced is too low, so you will lose face, won't you?"

"Well, Uncle Jing, you can introduce me to them like this."

Su Xiaofan puffed out his chest, "An antique practitioner, the youngest bronze craftsman, and the youngest bronze appraisal expert!"

"How did I realize that you are so shameless?"

Jing Shizhen raised her thumbs up at Su Xiaofan, "I admire you very much, just for being so shameless at you, it will definitely become popular on the show!"

　I appreciate everyone very much, I was wrong, everyone appreciates me very much, and voted for the monthly ticket recommendation, this book will definitely become popular!
