True and false, false and true, this is the best adjective for the antique industry, no matter in which era, the price of antiques is strangely high, and there is never a lack of market, in this case, cultural relics dealers, counterfeiters will stand out and become the people who disrupt the entire market.
Because of the huge profits, countless counterfeiters have been derived, and even a huge industrial chain has been produced, and in some places, the entire village has participated in the counterfeiting industry, the most famous of which is a counterfeiting village in Luoyang.
go astray
A person's fate is largely limited by his own birth environment, if a person's family is very poor, then his future is also very slim, Fang Xingqing comes from a very poor village in Luoyang, in this village, almost every child can not go to school, a little bit of knowledge of the grade, you have to start to help the family dare to farm.
Although the environment is so, and Fang Xingqing is not willing to continue like this for a lifetime, he wants to make a lot of money, wants to see the outside world, although his cultural level is not high, but he has the strength, so he followed some relatives to the city to work, although the city to work much higher than the land, but still can not meet his appetite.
So he used all his leisure time to do odd jobs, looking for ways to earn money, in a coincidence, Fang Xingqing came into contact with the work of reselling cultural relics, although this job does not look glorious enough, but the income is huge, a successful transaction can get him a month's salary.
Huge income let Fang Xingqing instantly addicted, he quit his job, concentrated on this industry, it is also coincidental, although Fang Xingqing has no culture, but the antiques are very talented, after a period of exploration, he quickly became a collection of antiques, you can often find some high value antiques.
However, in the antique industry, there will be success and failure, sometimes, Fang Xingqing will receive some fakes and some defective products without paying attention, although these things can also be sold, but they can not get back their investment, if there are a few more times, he will lose money, so in the face of this situation, how should we deal with it.
A different path
In the face of those broken antiques, Fang Xingqing thought about it before and after there was no good way, but he was not willing to lose money like this, so he chose to save the country with a curve, find a craftsman, see if he can "make up" these antiques, I have to say that there are capable people in the land of China, he first found a craftsman with a broken copper mirror, and he obtained a complete pair of copper mirrors.
With a nervous mood, Fang Xingqing found an antique shop owner and asked him to estimate the price, perhaps because the craftsmanship was too good, the antique shop owner did not see that this bronze mirror was repaired, and gave Fang Xingqing a complete price of antiques, which could make him happy and bad, and also let him find an unexpected way to get rich.
After this time, ordinary people will think of collecting broken antiques at a low price and making a difference after repairing, but Fang Xingqing is different, he chose another way to make money faster, since the craftsman can complete the repair, is it possible to directly create an antique that is fake and real.
When all is said and done, Fang Xingqing immediately found several craftsmen to form a simple workshop, with the understanding of antiques, Fang Xingqing made a bronze mirror that has never been lost, and each piece is sold at a normal price.
But unfortunately, due to the limited manpower of the workshop, he could not make 20 bronze mirrors for a whole year, but even so, Fang Xingqing also earned a lot of money and became the leading rich man in the village, as the saying goes, the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, after Fang Xingqing succeeded, the people in the village came to him to learn the scriptures, and then it was time to make a choice.
Leave a hand
In the face of many relatives and villagers' inquiries, Fang Xingqing has two choices, one is not to tell everyone, muffled to make a fortune, one is to teach the way without reservation, after a long period of thinking, Fang Xingqing chose to earn money with everyone, just like this, the original poor small village, immediately became a fake village, in just a few years to get rid of poverty and get rich, production rose year by year, but this also attracted the attention of the police.
In the 1990s, China's customs seized a large number of fake bronzes, along the source, the police also found Fang Xingqing's village, for the counterfeiters, see the police will be very panicked, but in the face of the police, Fang Xingqing seems to be at ease, without the slightest panic.
It turned out that after the whole village began to make antiques, Fang Xingqing had been thinking about a problem, if the whole village was counterfeiting, once it was found out, the consequences would be unimaginable, decades of efforts were wasted, and the village would return to the pre-liberation period overnight and become the famous poor village again.
In order to avoid this situation, he thought of a good solution, everything made here, all according to the handicraft to sell, not only he will tell the buyer in person that this is a handicraft, all the prices, invoices are also in accordance with the standard of crafts, although the money earned in this way is very small, but it is very safe.
Take the situation of the police this time, although all the items seized by the customs are all antiques and counterfeits, but here in Fang Xingqing, it is only handicrafts, and after the crafts come out of here, whether they are crafts or antiques has nothing to do with them, and it is precisely because of his foresight that the village not only escaped this case, but also completely became popular throughout the country.
Over the years, Fang Xingqing has not only been excellence in quality, but also hired a lot of designers, created some ancient shapes and styles that have not appeared, after years of development, Fang Xingqing's crafts have a very large market around the world.
With the support of this interest, the original very poor village has long become a well-known rich village, every child in the village has a good education, some children continue to open the market for the village outside, and other children continue to bring back advanced design concepts and technologies to help the village develop better.
But the most powerful thing is their technology, because for many years to focus on this aspect, now the village has received a lot of orders from museums, the museum will ask them to forge a one-to-one restoration of some ancient cultural relics, put these cultural relics on display in the museum, and preserve the treasures, so that not only can more people see, but also prevent theft.
In the life path of Fang Xingqing's development, although he has taken a detour for a period of time, but others are not bad- not only give it to the people in the village for free to get rich, but also get lost and return to the scope of the law, but Fang Xingqing's experience can also prove that a person's academic qualifications are not his limits, and choice is more important than hard work.
