Chapter 11 Clark Porcelain ([-])

After Wen Desi sold the gold in this time and space, because the quality was not pure enough, he sold it for almost 27 yuan.I also found a small smelter, re-smelted the silver, cast it into standard 925 industrial silver, and sold it for 20 yuan.

As for the large baskets of porcelain, it was not an option to put them in the hotel room, but it was impossible to explain why there were so many extra things in the room when they were transported away all at once, so we had to stay for a few more days and three people took turns transporting them in suitcases every day.

After counting the porcelain, there are [-] pieces in total, most of which are various plates, and there are also many bowls and vases.Although they knew it was Clark porcelain, they were laymen in the field of cultural relics after all.

Wen Desi remembered that he met a professor Ma at the dinner table in the past. He taught in the history department of a famous local university.After flipping through the business card for a while, I found Professor Ma's phone number and made an appointment to have dinner together at noon and talk about something.

"That's right, this is Clark porcelain," Professor Ma looked at the disk in his hand, "a typical export porcelain. This kind of porcelain is characterized by wide sides, mostly blue and white porcelain. Ornamentation of circular landscapes, figures, flowers and fruits."

Wen Desi showed an attitude of being open-minded and teachable.

"Clark porcelain can be divided into Wanli and Kangxi in terms of age. Yours is from Wanli. All the circles in the pattern are pieced together with two strokes, which is a characteristic of porcelain paintings in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties."

Wen Desi thought that this was obviously the year of the apocalypse.

"Then this porcelain plate is worth a lot?"

"Don't think of money when you talk about cultural relics." Professor Ma showed a look of contempt, "The value of cultural relics is mainly its historical and cultural connotations."

He looked at it over and over as he spoke, looking a little bit fond of it, and suddenly frowned slightly: "This plate is still angry, so it can't be an imitation, right? Where did you get it?"

Wen Desi thinks that I can't say that it is a new product that has just been out of the kiln from another time and space. "When I went to the countryside to do errands, I saw a fellow villager setting up a stall with special patterns, so I took a few."

"You noticed this very carefully." Professor Ma nodded appreciatively, "Clark porcelain is actually a product processed from supplied samples, and the patterns and decorations all cater to the aesthetic needs of Europeans. The pattern of the design of the flower."

"That should be true?" Wen Desi acted eager to know the truth.

"It should be." Professor Ma pondered for a while, "However, there are not many such porcelains in China, and most of the products on the market are fished from the sea. But this plate has obviously not been soaked in water."

"If it is true, how is the market going now?"

"Well, the market for ceramics is relatively complicated, and it's been generally cold recently. However, Clark porcelain is a popular product, with the highest turnover rate among ceramics, but the value of a single piece is not high. Such a plate can probably sell for three or four thousand Bar."

"That's not bad." Wen Desi pretended to be proud of picking up a bargain.

"It's just that it's a little hard to tell whether it's true or not," Professor Ma leaned back in the chair comfortably, showing a subtle smile behind his glasses, "Your plate, no matter how you look at it, it's just angry. It is said that Clark porcelain is rare. High imitation, I haven’t heard of the mine-burying thing.”

Wen Desi looked impatient: "Professor Ma, do you think this thing is real?"

Professor Ma thought for a while: "Well, I have a friend who specializes in collecting porcelain and is an expert in this circle. I will give you a number, and you can ask him to see it yourself. If it is real, he will definitely want it. "

The expert introduced by Professor Ma is also surnamed Ma, but he is not related to Professor Ma, so he is considered a master in the collection circle.As soon as Wen Desi's things were taken away, two hundred things were all wanted.Experts doubt whether Wen Desi dug a porcelain cellar in Fujian.Because of this old man, not only the appearance of the things is excellent, but also the meaning of the words is that the things are still good.Horse experts know that Clark porcelain is quite easy to sell because of its moderate price.It is naturally desirable to have a stable supply of goods.He said that the goods can continue to be brought.

After selling gold, silver and porcelain, the income from this trip was almost 300 million yuan.Using this money as start-up capital, the executive committee started further actions.

Renting a hotel room is obviously not a good idea.Wen Desi decided to set up a company, spent [-] yuan to complete the whole set of procedures, and a trading company was launched.Xiao Zishan had already been announced by the company that he would "not renew the labor contract", so he simply took full-time responsibility and assumed the title of administrative manager.Wen Desi also wanted to resign, but there was a lot of work in the company, and the leader treated him fairly well, so it was hard to just walk away, but he talked about it, and finally left after three months.Wang Luobin, on the other hand, was much more unrestrained. He came to Guangzhou as soon as he had a dictionary, and actually went directly to a small machinery factory to work as a worker, saying that he was "acquainted with the craft".

The company started with nothing.Fortunately, Xiao Zishan has been in Guangzhou for many years, and he has contacted a wide range of people in the sales industry. Now that he has money, he can handle everything easily.The office rented a regular business suite in the original hotel, and this kind of business regular suite is an independent unit.There is no need to go through the hall to enter and exit, it is relatively quiet, and there is also an underground parking space, which is very convenient.Xiao Zishan used a small warehouse inside as the crossing point of the wormhole, and installed anti-theft doors separately.In order to meet the needs of moving goods in large quantities in the next step, he bought a hydraulic trolley.

Regarding the company's cars, the executive committee had the first disagreement. Xiao Zishan's opinion was to buy a seven-seat small-displacement bus similar to Chang'an Star.The price is low, it can pull more people, it can transport goods, and it saves fuel.Wang Luobin thought that since it was going to go to the 17th century, such a car would not be able to use the waste heat in that time and space-there was no gasoline in the Ming Dynasty, and the road conditions were not such that a small car could run, so he suggested buying a four-wheel drive. Diesel-powered off-road vehicles driven by diesel engines -- Diesel alternatives are relatively easy to come by.

After hours of discussion on the issue, the three members of the executive committee finally decided on an SUV.The car sales lady was confused by the choices of these men. They rejected the new fuel-efficient EFI engine and bought an old Cherokee Jeep: four-wheel drive, manual transmission, diesel power, and self-rescue winch.

Now that I have a car and a way to make money, what should I do next?The three members of the executive committee sat at the table in the conference room and discussed the next step.
