We all know the importance of the antiques industry,For example, if you establish a certain personal relationship with Ma Weidu and Li Jianchen, the top people of the antique pyramid, even if you don't have the qualifications to sit on an equal footing, then you must have the resources needed by others, otherwise the so-called thigh hugging and high climbing are simply unrealistic, just your wishful thinking, without any practical significance.
Therefore, we must first carefully manage and maintain people who are better than you in the antique industry
In addition to treating everyone in the antique world equally, you have to find a way to make people in the antique world remember you who are better than you. For example, every holiday, you need to send a text message to the people of the antique cattle to greet you, do not send a group, take a little time, and carefully compile a unique and creative message, so that the people of the antique cattle will be impressed by you. Then slowly will trust you and become your network.
There is also the early departure from the antique industry invalid network
The real network in the antique industry is based on the premise of mutual benefit, equal exchange, and mutual value, and cannot blindly give and take. There is a kind of person in the antique industry, they think that they have genuine, fine, rare antiques, think that those middlemen (antique brokers), big bosses (rich people) will kneel, in fact, it is a big mistake, think carefully, why do people help you achieve prosperity, but not to give you relatives.
In the antique world, really good connections are based on constantly improving themselves, if you only engage in relationships, that network is just a castle in the air. When you don't have some kind of resources and capital, you don't need to deliberately drill camps, even if you know Ma Weidu and Li Jianchen, even if you squeeze in, you can't get real respect, let alone the other party to give you some help. The high-end network of antiques that you have established by chance may bring you help once or twice, but that is just good luck, in the long run, once you can't give the other party a value in return, this network will become a kind of handout, not long-lasting.
The essence of the relationship between the antiques industry is always the strength to determine the authenticity of your antiques, the price, the simplest truth, Christie's, Sotheby's auction of things anyone questioned? No, is Ma Weidu's stuff questioned? No. Is it true that Li Jianchen sold so many antiques to others? Is anyone questioning? No. On the contrary, as soon as the people took out the five famous kiln porcelain, Zhan Han jade, Xu Beihong's calligraphy and paintings were immediately attacked, and this is the reality.
The so-called high-level networking in the antique world is just an equivalent exchange.
