My system is not decent

Chapter 609 The Original Means

When will Chen Wenzhe's purple sand teapots have accumulated for a few years, and the market price will reach three to five hundred thousand. At that time, he will truly have the title of national master of arts and crafts.

Let's hang on now, take it step by step, otherwise, Chen Wenzhe won't even be able to maintain his current market position!
After talking to Li Jinli about the characteristics of the modern art market, Chen Wenzhe ignored him.

Walking out of the Yi Nian Hall, Chen Wenzhe did not leave in a hurry, but strolled in this magnificent building that had undergone tremendous changes.

Walking and watching, when he came to Zhang Yijie's shop, he almost didn't recognize it.

"Zhang's modern art boutique? Are they selling blue and white flowers? It's really good!"

Looking at the situation in Zhang's shop, although the business is not as hot as his, it is not a crowd.

At this moment, Aunt Zhang was greeting the guests. When she saw Chen Wenzhe coming, she immediately walked out with a smile.

"Wen Zhe, you are rare these days!"

"No way, the factory in my development zone has just opened."

"Come in and wait for a while. Yijie and his father have gone to the warehouse. Recently, our entire antique city has taken over your business, and business has become good."

"Business has become good?" Chen Wenzhe looked at the few merchants in the store in surprise.

They are obviously not collectors, but more like wholesalers.

Sure enough, Aunt Zhang directly introduced: "This one is the owner of Yi Nian Tang, and those purple clay pots are all his works. These are the owners of ceramic art business in various scenic spots, and they came here to buy."

"Do you sell blue and white flowers professionally?"

Chen Wenzhe looked at the products in Zhang Yijie's house, there were many varieties, all kinds of bottles, jars, and even some antique utensils, such as blue and white statues, wishful bottles and so on.

These slightly larger models can still be seen, and there are even some exquisite products inside.

But those bowls, plates, and saucers are not good. Although it can be seen that they are handmade, the production level is really average.

Let's put it this way, it turns out that Chen Wenzhe sold this kind of porcelain in the small market outside the Grand Academy of Fine Arts.

In other words, these things should also come from the students of the Academy of Fine Arts. They used to have no channels to sell their works, but now they have channels, and they flow into Hualou.

Don't think about it, this must be Zhang Yijie's handwriting, and he has this channel.

"We still need to find some experts, otherwise this kind of business won't last long!"

After Aunt Zhang sent off the three guests, Chen Wenzhe reminded.

"I know, Yijie also said it, but the time was too short, and he couldn't find a master from the Academy of Fine Arts."

"I do know some of them, but I don't know if they have regular sellers. Wait for me to ask. Otherwise, when my place is stable, I can share some of the goods with you."

"How embarrassing is that? Yijie has already said that he can not trouble you, or he can't trouble you!"

"That's it. When the production capacity of my factory is up, I will ask you to help out with some goods. Otherwise, it will be bad if it is kept in the warehouse."

"You can really talk. I saw the situation on your side just now. The purple clay pots have been snatched away, right? It's the one with the lowest price, five hundred sets, right? You need to make more of those Ah, it shouldn't be difficult to make, right?"

Speaking of this, Aunt Zhang felt a little heartbroken.

She doesn't know anything else, but she knows that the craftsmanship of cheap things should be very low. If this is the case, why not mass-produce them?
You should know that the price of a set of [-] teapots is very good.

Although she didn't know Yi Nian Tang's profit margin, she knew that Chen Wenzhe had never done business with low profit.

Thinking about it this way, there must be a lot of money to be made, so this kind of tea set, which is not worried about selling, won't win by quantity?

"I can't help it. I'm really too busy. Now I have the idea of ​​going to Jingzhen to wholesale a batch of porcelain." Chen Wenzhe said jokingly.

Aunt Zhang is very serious: "It's not just you who have this idea, Yijie and his father also have this idea, they even went to Jingzhen, but they found that the market there seems to be a bit off. What they do is high imitation, there are not a few brand stores that focus on modern art, and there are some that we can't participate in."

"There should be quite a few ceramic factories and art companies in Jingzhen, right?"

"It's quite a lot, but we can't get a good price for better porcelain. If we really want to buy a batch, we won't make money at all."

"Why don't you make money?" Chen Wenzhe felt a little strange.

"That's a high imitation. If you sell it at the price of modern art, you will definitely not make money. We are not their good customers. Their customers are all in the antique business. Just like us before, if you buy a batch of high imitations, it will Sell ​​it as an antique, so as long as you sell any one, the profit will not be low."

Chen Wenzhe was a little silent, which was also his original method.

For example, as long as the high-quality replicas of various dynasties he got from second-hand Wu, he couldn't help but want to make them old.

In fact, he must know more about the high imitation than Aunt Zhang.

Not to mention anything else, just talk about the blue and white underglaze red he made. This kind of porcelain is rarely imitated because it is difficult to fire.

However, there are many imitations of underglaze red, and now there are some ordinary imitations on the market. If it is a high-quality imitation, the firing cost of a small stemware is usually no less than [-].

This is also the reason why Chen Wenzhe's ruby ​​red and blue and white underglaze red are so popular.

We all know that even if it is a modern imitation, its firing cost is not low.

As for Chen Wenzhe, he is an outlier, his starting point is too high, so only a few batches of blue and white underglaze red were burned at the beginning, and although the number of produced later was not many, the firing rate was 100%.

This is all because of the modern kiln, combined with his superb kiln firing technology and porcelain making technology, which allowed him to save a lot of money.

Otherwise, even if a piece of blue and white underglaze red is successfully fired, even if it is sold for two to three hundred thousand, there will not be much profit.

Generally speaking, the yield of blue and white underglaze red can reach one hundred, which is considered very high.

Therefore, if the cost of a blue-and-white glazed red pot is [-] yuan, then multiply it by [-], and the cost of a successfully fired one will reach [-] yuan.

So is the cost of a blue and white underglaze red pot really only one thousand yuan?
Clay is money, glaze is money, labor is not money?
There is also a kiln, whether it is electricity or gas, it costs a lot of money!
The yield rate is high, and everything is not a problem.

If the finished product rate is not high, a large number of porcelain embryos enter the electric kiln, just the cost of firing can crush people to death.

The cost of kiln consumption, electricity bills, etc. is also staggering.

Even if the firing is successful, channel fees, subsequent taxes, etc. need to be added. All the fees add up, which is really quite a lot.

If it is firing modern art, then if the firing is successful, it will definitely be able to sell at a high price?
