My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 167 The Prospect of Glass Crafts
Although the Liulichang has not been completed yet, Fang Xing has produced a few experimental products for Mr. Zhao and the others to appreciate.

Mayor Tang and the village chief were all watching. Although Fang Xing had told them that the handicraft industry had a bright future, he was still a little worried.

Especially the village chief, this is the largest industrial project in their village. Although it is Fang Xing's private property, it is still in their Yunwu Village after all.

Mayor Tang thought that once such a large craft workshop park had output and profits, it would be very important to the town's tax revenue.

The antique bronze wares mentioned earlier have tens of millions of orders, so don't worry.

But Liuli, they are not familiar with it!

Mayor Tang and other leaders have inquired about it, and it is somewhat similar to glass.Glass is not very valuable, can Liuli have a future?

So, now they want to hear Mr. Zhao's professional opinion.

"This is the ancient colored glaze formula that you dug out from the ancient books, and then tested it out?" Elder Zhao was surprised.

Recently, Fang Xing looked around for ancient documents and documents. They knew about this and they also helped.

Everyone also knows that Fang Xing wants to restore some traditional craft culture, enrich it in his craft workshop park, combine it with tourism, and revitalize the township economy.

Whether it is him or other insiders, they all support this.

None of them hope that traditional art and culture will decline.Now, there are young people who want to make it an industry, how can they not support it?

"Yes! I've sorted out the information. Otherwise, what do you think I've been doing all these years? Not only Liuli, but also other things. I also found some, but they are not comprehensive. I will verify them one by one in the future." Fang Xing said plausibly.

"Yeah! You have a heart. Let's talk about these glassware!"

Mr. Zhao didn't talk about anything else, he started to comment on the glassware that Fang Xing made, and said a bunch of professional words that only Fang Xing could understand.

"To put it simply, the glazed wares produced by Xiaofang are very close to the ancient craftsmanship and have an inner taste. This kind of antique glazed wares is relatively rare and rare in the market, and the price is also acceptable." Finally, Mr. Zhao Take care of Mayor Tang and the others, and say something they can understand.

It has to be said that Mr. Zhao also admired Fang Xing a little bit, forcefully asked him to figure out these antique craftsmanship, and then turned it into an industry.

"So this thing must be more expensive than glass?" Mayor Tang couldn't help asking.

Fang Xing corrected: "I can't say for sure, some glass crafts are also very expensive, and there are glass crafts worth millions of dollars abroad.

It can only be said that colored glaze is generally more expensive than glass. "

Modern glass refining materials are quartz and fluorite, which are materials containing light metals such as calcium and sodium.The ancient colored glaze refining material is crystal plus metal, which contains other metals such as lead and barium.

The material is different from ordinary glass, which determines that ancient glazed ware is also valuable for collection.

In addition, glass is easy to fire, while colored glaze requires dozens of processes, which is very complicated. If something goes wrong in the process, all previous efforts will be wasted, so it is only natural that the price is more expensive.

Finally, colored glaze is very interesting to play with. Just a little bubble in colored glaze is enough for those who like to collect colored glaze to study and ponder.

Bubbles in colored glaze are naturally formed during the calcination process of colored glaze raw materials. In the eyes of colored glaze lovers, colored glaze is not only an object, but also a living thing. Seeing these bubbles makes people feel that colored glaze is breathing, so These air bubbles make the glass look more expressive and sparkle in the light.

"Although colored glaze is a native handicraft of our country, it originated in China. But it is more valuable abroad, and the domestic market value has not yet been fully tapped." Zhao Lao said.

This is a fact.

In foreign countries, Liuli collection has always been a bright pearl, sought after by collectors.However, in China, the price of old glazed objects lags far behind other collections.

Mr. Zhao told them that there is a huge market for ancient colored glaze:
At present, it can be mainly divided into two fields. One is handicrafts, which mainly provide various business gifts. In addition, it includes the jewelry market and business gift market, and then enters the tourist souvenirs, building materials market and collectibles market one after another.With the improvement of glaze production technology, the space for combined development of glaze and other materials and products will become wider and wider.

The second is the engineering glass market, mainly in the field of decoration and building materials.

"So, don't worry about it. The craft workshop park will definitely have a lot to offer in the future.

Let me tell you clearly!At present, the total value of our domestic handicraft industry exceeds 3000 billion.What is this concept?The GDP of a small city cannot be compared.

Let's not talk about how many cakes we can share!If we could grab one percent, our whole town could be rich on it. "Fang Xing had a showdown.

He is thinking about this big cake of antique handicrafts.

As an arts and crafts industry closely linked to culture, tourism, and home decoration industries, the prospect of colored glaze is nothing to worry about.

Mayor Tang, the village chief and others were horrified, more than 3000 billion?If it really grabs one percent, there will be more than 30 billion.

This is more than ten times the GDP of their Baima Town!

"That's good, that's good!"

Fang Xing continued: "In the future, I will watch over the handicraft workshop park. Mayor, you might as well pay more attention to Zhangmutou Village if you have time.

There, it is a key point of our tourism development, and it is relatively urgent, and it must be completed before important holidays such as the National Day. "

Just finished speaking, Fang Xing's cell phone rang.

At first glance, it was a strange call.Fang Xing was a little apprehensive about calls from strangers, there have been too many calls like this recently.Like museums, auction houses, collectors, etc.

"Boss Fang? I was introduced by Master Ding, my sire Yang Wenbo. I heard from Master Ding that the antique glazed wares you baked are very good. No, I asked him for the address, and I will soon arrive at your Yunwu Village , is it convenient to meet up?"

Fang Xing was overjoyed, he was really sleepy and someone gave him a pillow.

Liuli was originally the first of the five famous utensils in Buddhism, so Fang Xing deliberately revealed it to Boss Ding.

Originally, they wanted to use Boss Ding's channel to sell glazed wares to various temples.At that time, after Boss Ding read it, he also said that he should think about it first. There are a lot of things on hand, and he has to deal with some of them first.

I never thought that Boss Ding was so awesome, he helped Fang Xing find a buyer without placing an order himself.

"It's convenient, you park the car next to the school, and I'll pick you up."

After hanging up the phone, Fang Xing said with a smile, "Look, Liuli's order is coming."

Mayor Tang, the village chief and the others stared wide-eyed, feeling that many things were in Fang Xing's hands, how could it go so smoothly?It's not difficult at all.
