Live Appreciation, Congratulations to Brother

Chapter 361 Live broadcast of goods receipt

The entertainment tycoon's words came true, and the next morning, the program team called.

It was the female host who came to communicate with Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang had a bad impression of her, so his tone of communication was stiff and he made some unreasonable requests, but the other party actually agreed to them all.

"It's very strange. It feels like the person they are looking for to cooperate has to be me." Zhang Yang complained to Shen Shuyu on the phone.

"Maybe it's because they don't have much choice."

Shen Shuyu on the other end of the phone was sitting at the table, looking at the data she found online and analyzing: "Among Douyin's treasure appraisal anchors, your average number of viewers per hour ranks first."

"Although the figures behind you are not much different from yours, they are all mainly selling goods. You are the only one who does not have a display window."

"Is that so?"

Zhang Yang thought for a while and suddenly smiled.

"Speaking of the display window, actually someone from the Douyin official website asked me to open the display window before, saying that tens of thousands of people visit my homepage every day. It would be a pity not to bring some goods."

"Even if we sell toilet paper or something, as long as it's cheap, people will still buy it."

"Huh? Is it so outrageous?" Shen Shuyu didn't expect such a story. She asked curiously, "Then how did you reject them?"

"I asked them if they could sell me a signed photo."

"Pfft, what did they say?"

"The person in charge was silent at that time and said that if I wanted to refuse, I could just say it directly and there was no need to beat around the bush."

Zhang Yang scratched his head. To be honest, until now, he still felt that the person in charge was a little too excited.

To put it bluntly, selling goods is the fan economy. Why is toilet paper more noble than signed photos? What's more, it's his Master Zhang's signed photo!

"They never came to me and said such things to me afterwards. When we accidentally started chatting, they even praised me for being noble."

"It's just that you are noble. Didn't you say you, Zhao Gao?"

Shen Shuyu chuckled for a while.

After she had laughed enough, she continued to curiously ask Zhang Yang about cooperating with the TV station: "Then you agreed to cooperate with them?"

"Of course I won't refuse, and I brought the museum along with me."

"In addition to my personal studio, an event, and three organizers, both parties are mine."

"That's why I asked if they really can't find anyone, otherwise it's obvious that I'm taking advantage of their traffic..."

While Zhang Yang was talking, Shen Shuyu was not idle either.

The insider of the TV station she had contacted before had already received a message back.

"I know why."

Shen Shuyu carefully told Zhang Yang the news he saw.

The program's last Douyin premiere was very poor, but the TV station's leaders were not stupid enough and did not blame Zhang Yang for the problem. Instead, they held the director, reviewer, and a series of other responsible persons accountable.

Finally, the leader set the tone:

Don't always think about how good the programs on the Internet are. The key is to attract traffic and make money.

Their base is still in TV shows and selling products on Douyin.

As for the method of selling goods, in fact, many years ago, the official website of "Huayu Gate" had an online auction, but it ended without any success.

Now let's restart the project.

"I see." Zhang Yang nodded suddenly after hearing this, "No wonder the people who came to align with me today are so professional."

"It turns out they have already held online auctions."

……

During the live broadcast in the afternoon, Zhang Yang typed the title [Live Broadcast Receipt] in the live broadcast room.

There is also a line of small words at the bottom explaining: "Only high-quality antiques from the Ming and Qing Dynasties are collected. The prices are very good. If you want to sell them, hurry up."

In fact, the antiques for sale in the Hailin Museum can already meet the requirements of the program team, but this "receipt" activity still needs to be carried out.

Mainly for publicity.

Publicity is the most important aspect of this cooperation.

[Master Zhang received the goods in person? real or fake】

[Do we still have something in our hands that can penetrate Master Zhang’s eyes? 】

[Okay, you don’t have to leave today, let’s see what treasures you can receive]

[I really have a big baby, but it’s a bit far from Linhai]

"It's okay as long as it's far away. The special ticket only costs a few dollars. What I buy are high-quality antiques. The profit from one ticket can still be divided."

Zhang Yang answered the barrage's question.

"Someone asked me why I collect antiques. Of course I do it to make money."

"Just want to pick up the missing items? I really didn't have this idea. The barrage misunderstood. This time is different from our previous two activities to collect auction items. This time we did it for other people's program teams."

"I will help you with the appraisal first, and then the program team will contact you and give you a market price. After the transaction is completed, if the final auction price rises by more than 30% based on the market price, the excess will be Half of it will be returned to you..."

"Is it conscientious enough?"

Zhang Yang felt that the plan given by the program team was quite reasonable.

You can basically find relevant information on the antiques of the Ming and Qing Dynasties online. If the auction price increases by more than 30% in this case, it will definitely be considered a miss.

If you miss something, you can give half of it to the seller. You can't find such a good buyer anywhere.

As for some comments asking whether the program team would deliberately lower the price or something, Zhang Yang said:

"You don't have to sell it to me after I authenticate it."

"Brothers, don't put pressure on yourselves. It's the same thing if you sell it directly to other antique stores and give me some gifts to express your gratitude when you come back."

Afraid that later viewers would not understand the terms of the money sharing, Zhang Yang asked Xiao Tang not to do anything, but to copy the barrage explaining how to share the money in the live broadcast room. If this could not be seen, then there was nothing he could do.

"Without any further ado, come and welcome your first treasure friend."

After the video was connected, the picture on Baoyou's side was very impactful.

There was a desk covered with porcelain, none of which was new or clean.

It's like you haven't had time to wash the dishes after eating.

But they are indeed antiques.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a treasure friend with so many collections.

"Teacher, these are all old porcelain from the Qing Dynasty. Do you think there are any that you can appreciate?"

"Friend Bao, are you digging up the ruins of the Beggar Gang in the Qing Dynasty?"

Zhang Yang asked, looking at the blue and white bowl in the other person's hand.

It doesn’t mean anything, it’s just a little too dirty.

The porcelain bowl, which was supposed to have a white porcelain base, has turned light yellow due to soil, as if it were a rice bowl.

In the middle of the bottom of the bowl, there is a simple blue and white rabbit. It is the only decoration worth talking about. Zhang Yang feels that he can also draw other flower and plant patterns.

In addition, there are some concave black spots on the glaze, which is called "shrinkage glaze" in technical terms, and the surface is not even smooth and even.

There is no signature on the bottom.

To put it simply, one word: rough; two words: folk kiln.

"Hahaha, no, no, they were all collected in the countryside when I was playing with antiques in the early years." Baoyou introduced the origin of the things.

"It turns out we are colleagues. I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

"This is a blue and white bowl from a folk kiln in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty. My dear friend, is the quality of this thing too bad for you?"

"There's really nothing I can do about it. I picked it out specially. If there are no cracks, it's already worthy of the audience." Baoyou explained a little embarrassedly.

"Okay, if your collection is all porcelain from the Qing Dynasty, then show me some of the famous ones."

“It’s valuable when you have money.”

When the maker of a porcelain from a folk kiln in the Ming and Qing Dynasties doesn't even bother to pay the price, everyone knows about its quality.

"I'll look for it...how about this?"

Baoyou picked up a blue and white bead-catching bowl with dragon patterns. There were two green dragons outside, chasing the flaming beads in the auspicious clouds. I am used to seeing dragon patterns in official kilns, but when I look at this green dragon, the cheapness almost overflows the screen.

But since you have the money, of course you still have to see the money before determining the value.

Baoyou turned the bowl over and the bottom of the bowl was revealed:

There are two fish in the center, with their heads together and their tails separated, forming an "A" shape.

This is a typical monogram used in folk kilns.

The monogram is a type of porcelain inscription popular in the middle and late Qing Dynasty. It is a symbol of the kiln worker and the kiln entrance, and generally has no special meaning.

But this kind of "Pisces model" is quite special. It is basically a folk kiln from Jingdi Town during the Kangxi period. It is better than ordinary folk kilns. It has a certain age and the place of origin has quality assurance.

The price can be one or two thousand higher than that of ordinary private kilns, but it is still less than five thousand.

[Pisces bowl? 】

[Looking at the pattern, it’s not worth it]

[Twenty years ago, this kind of thing would cost ten yuan a piece in the countryside]

[Kangxi folk kiln, I have it at home]

[If you are selling this kind of thing at an auction, I suggest you set up a street stall]

[Can you order some hard dishes? 】

Although Danmu doesn't like to see folk kilns, Zhang Yang thinks that although the price is average, it is good to put it in the "Huayu Gate" display window.

Spending several thousand yuan online to buy an old porcelain product to experience it is quite good.

At least the signature can tell others that this is Kangxi's thing.

But at this moment, Zhang Yang didn't intend to communicate about buying or selling things. The program team should send someone to keep an eye on it in the live broadcast room.

If they wanted to, they would know how to act without him having to worry about it.

"Is there anything that is not monogrammed? Strictly speaking, this does not count as a signature, but as a mark."

"It's not monogrammed...it's really there. Look at this."

Baoyou picked up the only large item on his desk, a Guanyin bottle covered with slices, which should have been imitated from Ge Kiln.

Looking from a distance, there are black dragon patterns on it.

Only after getting closer can you see clearly that the black dragon is actually embossed on the bottle.

This is a relatively rare stack carving technique in porcelain. It is based on the original porcelain, adding some clay to carve various patterns.

Generally, purple clay teapots use this process more often.

"Oh, the craftsmanship of the pile carvings, this one is pretty good."

Zhang Yang is also very satisfied with this piece of porcelain.

The glaze of the Guanyin bottle is still imitation of Ge glaze, and has a high artistic content.

He asked the other person: "What model is this?"

"I can't say, teacher, you can see for yourself."

The inscription on the bottom of the bottle reads "Chenghua Year System".

It's obviously a deposit.

Most of the imitation Ge kiln porcelain of the late Qing Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty model, which can be distinguished at a glance.

Judging from the casualness of the writing, it must be from a folk kiln.

The pile of collections in front of this treasure friend is simply a private kiln.

Fifteen years ago, it was just right to set up a street stall in Panjiayuan.

"This is okay. It's a good thing. It's a late Qing Dynasty imitation Ge glaze carved dragon pattern Guanyin bottle. The price is estimated to be in the thousands."

"Is it only a thousand dollars? Can you give me an estimate of ten thousand? I will give you half of the extra as a gift to the teacher."

"Hahaha, I appreciate your kindness, but my words don't count, dear friend."

Zhang Yang smiled and thought that Baoyou's mind was flexible enough, and he wanted to win over him to join the TV station.

It's a pity that the entrustment is not human, Zhang Yang is really just appreciating treasures today.

……

Next is the second treasure friend.

"Teacher, can I only appraise the treasure and not sell it to you?" Baoyou asked honestly.

"Okay." Zhang Yang nodded, of course he had no objection.

"But this thing you took out can't be sold, right?"

The thing Baoyou took out was a three-legged tripod.

But it's not a bronze tripod, but a pottery one.

As we all know, the ancients only used clay to make tripods under two circumstances. One was in the Shang Dynasty and before, when bronze was not available; the other was in the Han Dynasty, when there was no copper to cast copper coins, so clay was the only choice.

No matter which one it is, this pottery tripod with one ear broken off has something to say.

"Friend Bao, this is a pottery tripod from the Han Dynasty. Why does it have one ear? Where is the lid on it?"

"I didn't drop it, it was like this when it was dug out." Baoyou explained quickly, and then asked Zhang Yang, "Is the thing really from the Han Dynasty?"

"Really, this thing is equivalent to our current casserole. The work you did was too rough. After all, it is a cultural relic and it broke."

[These are all new, they must have just been dropped]

[Don’t think about it, just grab it]

[The pottery tripod from the Han Dynasty seems to be worthless]

"Cultural relics? Do you want to hand them in?"

"You turn it and I'll take a look." Zhang Yang directed Baoyou to turn the incomplete pottery tripod in his hand, without any patterns or words.

That makes sense, there is really no need to engrave the casserole.

And it seems that because it was dug out for a while, moss has grown on it.

"Keep it, as long as you don't dig up anything else."

Mutilated pottery without text, except for some value to some new antique collectors, really has no appeal at all to others.

Because it's too ugly.

"Okay." Baoyou responded, and quickly changed to another collection, "Teacher, help me take a look, is this an old thing?"

"This is...an ear cup."

It is an oval-shaped fully open container with two thin and long ears on both sides. It is a typical earthenware ear cup.

This is what was used for drinking in the old version of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Also called "Yuzhang".

"It's from the Eastern Han Dynasty again, similar to your tripod."

"Friend Bao, tell me the truth. Have you dug a grave? These two things you have are like burial objects of common people in the Han Dynasty."

"Really not, these were not dug out from the same place. The ear cups you mentioned, teacher, have been kept at home for many years."

"Okay, anyway, if there is a tomb with something like this, it only has lacquerware and the like, and there are no precious cultural relics."

There were actually many civilian tombs in the Han Dynasty, and many of the items buried with them were daily necessities.

Because of its long history, it is often the underground layer of the "tomb above the tomb".

Many people who dug Ming and Qing tombs kept digging, but ended up digging out things from Han tombs. In reality, it is not strange, but there must be no treasures.

"Keep it well, brother. Are there any other treasures you want to see?"

"No more. I'll come back to the teacher when I find something I can sell."

"Okay, okay, you must come to me." Zhang Yang said with a smile, "I'll take care of the distribution!"
