Chapter 790 Appraisal Begins

The warehouse is very large, and Fang Ming asked Sikong Zhe to prepare it before transporting the antiques back to Ningdong City. In fact, it was in consideration of the convenience of identification in the future-there are so many antiques in this batch, it is impossible to get them Go back to Guxuanzhai to have it appraised. This way, it is simply impossible, and it is impossible to settle it. If you take it part by part, it will be too much trouble.

So Fang Ming simply asked Sikong Zhe to prepare a huge warehouse, in addition to being able to store all the antiques, there was also a space of nearly [-] square meters in the middle.

At this time, once the six long square tables are set up, together with the lighting, the identification can begin immediately.

Fang Ming and Zheng Bai arrived first, and soon all the people Zheng Bai was looking for also arrived.

When Fang Ming saw these people, he nodded secretly in his heart. He was about 40 years old, and they all had a quite calm demeanor, so he knew they were good players at a glance.

Except for very few people, age in the antique collection industry is still an important criterion for judging a person's ability.

After all, antique appraisal is very particular about experience, too young means not enough, 40 years old is a good age, with considerable experience but good energy, this time there are many antiques appraised, Zheng Bai obviously also considered This is why these people were specially recruited.

These people are very familiar with Zheng Bai, and Fang Ming is now a celebrity in the antique collection industry, so after the meeting, there is a small talk, and after the end, they start to identify antiques in groups. Fang Ming also asked Sikong Zhe to find some people to help, such as It's about pouring water or taking and putting antiques, so it's going quite smoothly.

Fang Ming was very satisfied seeing those people who were busy and arguing from time to time.

"They are all good players."

Fang Ming was sitting on the sofa, drinking tea. It's just started, and there are no antiques that cannot be identified, so he and Zheng Bai are still relatively leisurely.

"Well, yes, but some of the people here are not from our Ningdong City. It should be said that most of them are not from our Ningdong City. If they came from all over because of the exhibition, then I can't find them. So many people."

Fang Ming frowned, this is not a good thing.

The information revealed by Zheng Bai's words is that there is still a lack of qualified talents for the current Ningdong City.

The antique collection of a place or the status in the collection circle is mainly related to two factors, one is high, middle and low-end appraisal talents, including enthusiasts, etc., and the other is the antique market.

In the past, there was only one small antique street in Ningdong City, so it was not enough in terms of the market, but after the emergence of Dongcheng Street, especially now that Dongcheng Street is developing very well, so there is no market in terms of problem.But that alone is not enough. It is not enough to just look at the prosperity of a market.

What matters is talent.

Beijing has always been the leader in the circle, why is that?
The reason is very simple, one of course is that it is the distribution center of the entire Huaxia antiques, that is to say, the market there is very prosperous, but more importantly, the antique talents there are simply incomparable in other places.

This is the most fundamental reason why Beijing can truly stand firm in the antique circle. Among the two, talent and the market, the most fundamental thing is talent. A group of high-level appraisers, even temporary prosperity, cannot last long.

"Old Zheng, it seems that we still have relatively few talents."

Hearing Fang Ming's exclamation, Zheng Bai didn't quite understand it at first, but he is also a smart person, so he immediately understood it.

"Fang Ming, the problem you are worried about will not be solved in a short time."

From the perspective of long-term development, this is of course a very important issue, but this issue is not easy to deal with.

A place like Beijing is not comparable to a place like Dongcheng Street at least for the time being, because it has been formed after years of development, including the market and talents. After years of accumulation, not only the market has developed more maturely, but also The accumulation of talents is also very deep.

The development of Dongcheng Street here is very fast, and the market has already been established, but if you want to quickly reach the level of the capital in terms of talents, it is unrealistic, and it should be said that it is difficult or whimsical.

"Ugh!"

Fang Ming nodded lightly, why didn't he know about this?
"I also know it's impossible to change in a short period of time, but, is there any proof we have to solve this problem?"

Shaking his head, Zheng Bai said: "This problem is really difficult to solve or there is no good solution in a short time."

"Actually, this problem is not that complicated, it's just a matter of time."

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

Fang Ming looked at Zheng Bai incomprehensibly. In his opinion, this matter was really difficult to deal with, but what Zheng Bai meant seemed to be that it was actually not difficult, he just told himself not to be too impatient.

"In fact, our circle is essentially the same as other industries, that is, where there is money, there are people who come to collect antiques. Except for those who are really rich and powerful, they still have to eat—who You won’t have trouble with money, will you?”

Fang Ming nodded lightly. This is a fact. Everyone is "ordinary people" and always eats and drinks, so they live in "chasing money".

"Where there is antique trading, there will be a lot of people coming, shopkeepers, appraisers... and so on. The reason why so many people go to the capital is because the market is good there, and they can make money there— —So it’s no wonder you don’t go.”

"The development time of our Dongcheng Street is still too short so far, so it is impossible to attract enough talents. But our development here is very good now, more and more People can make money here, so I think there will be talents one day. The simplest one is that there are a lot of people opening shops here, and those shopkeepers are skilled people, so in fact we already have quite a few people."

Fang Ming thought for a while, and realized that this was really the case.There are a lot of people opening shops on Dongcheng Street now, and the antique industry is so deep, which one of those who dare to open a shop doesn't have something to do?

Therefore, what Zheng Bo said is not wrong at all. In fact, there are already a lot of talents here in Dongcheng Street. More and more people with jobs come here to make money, and the accumulation of talents will increase.

"It seems that you really can't be impatient, and you can't be impatient if you are impatient."

Zheng Bai laughed and said: "Fang Ming, in fact, the development of our Dongcheng Street is already very good, so don't think too much, after all, it is impossible for things to happen overnight. We What we can do now is to cultivate the market here on Dongcheng Street as much as possible, and when the market is good, this talent will come."

"Well, yes, Mr. Zheng, what you said is not wrong at all. It seems that we will focus on doing a good job in the market, so that other things will not be a problem."

Fang Ming thought that there would be a large number of appraisers on Dongcheng Street all of a sudden, but now it seems that this is really impossible, but he is a person who can afford it and let it go. When he sees that there is no way to deal with it, he will simply I don’t want to, because I think too much and I’m tossing myself to death. There is no need for this. It’s better to focus on how to manage and build the antique market in Dongcheng Street. If there is a market, there will be everything.

Seeing Fang Ming like this, Zheng Bai knew he had listened to his own words.

This is a very good advantage of Fang Ming, that is, he can listen to different opinions.For thousands of years in China, there has never been a lack of smart people, and the same is true in the collection business. Zheng Bai has been in this business for a long time, and he has met many smart people, but there is no one like Fang Ming who is expanding rapidly. Not to mention being famous and being smart and witty, there is another rare thing that is that although Fang Ming is a wunderkind, he is very humble. Ming has always listened to it and actually acted on it.

This is very difficult.

Zheng Bai knew that this was actually a very important reason why Fang Ming was able to get the recognition and support of Si Kongzhe and others including himself.

There are many capable people, but those who can cooperate or even become friends are not only capable, it involves many things, such as the concept of being a person and doing things, etc., and often these are the most important .

"It seems that we don't need to stay here for the time being."

Zheng Bai looked at the people who were busy. Several hours passed, and some antiques had been identified, but there were no antiques that everyone could not get a unified judgment on.

"Well, yes, it seems that there is not much we really have to do."

Fang Ming knew that there were very few chances to make eye contact on the antiques that had been appraised under the current intersecting method. You must know that those who engage in antique appraisal are self-centered diehards, and they will argue for a long time if there is even the slightest difference of opinion. , The current calm can only show that the opinions of those antiques that have been identified are the same, and there is no problem.

"Then let's go first, and leave the affairs here to them. If we are honest and at peace, then we can come again."

Zheng Bai and Fang Ming left the warehouse together. There are staff sent by Si Kongzhe and security guards sent by Zhao Zhuzi, so there is no problem with safety.
