God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 1378 Ghostwriting
It's not that Xu Jingxing doesn't know how to create ordinary works when he is engaged in creation, but he will definitely not shrink back or fiddle with quality in order to make money when he can do better. Although he likes money, he is also willing to make a lot of money, and this is A big motivator in his life.

However, he will definitely not wrong his works for the sake of making money, artificially lowering the artistic content of a work that could have been more beautiful.

So when he made this screen for Bai Chunsheng, he chose the cheaper green and white jade after careful consideration.

Of course, mid-range jade materials such as green and white jade are definitely not as good as those top-grade jade materials in terms of aura and physical properties. The frame of the screen has been worked hard to make this set of screens become a whole from the inside to the outside, um, it is the unity and fusion of physical properties.

It is actually not difficult to do this, he has had successful experience before, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

When the frame made of small-leaf red sandalwood and the screen core made of green and white jade are integrated on the physical level, the defects of green and white jade are made up. Although it cannot be compared with the top suet jade, it is not much worse. .

Coupled with the advantage in terms of price, Bai Chunsheng didn't suffer at all, and even got a little advantage.

So Bai Chunsheng was very happy and settled the bill on the spot.

As a result, Xu Jingxing once again made a net profit of more than 100 million.

Having received a large amount of income, Xu Jingxing was even happier. He casually took out a pendant made of white jade from his pocket safe, put it in a small box and threw it to Bai Chunsheng, "Brother Chunsheng, this is a small item I made casually. Generally speaking, but the craftsmanship is not bad, and long-term wearing is also good for the body, you can use it yourself or give it to others.”

"Hehe, is there such a benefit?"

"Hehehe, in our relationship, who is with whom?" Xu Jingxing said with a chuckle, "Besides, these small objects are made to give away to others, and who is not?"

"Make me happy in vain, I thought you prepared this specially for me."

"If you don't want it, I don't mind taking it back."

"Go, go, what are you thinking? Idiots don't want things that are free, let alone your craftsmanship, you can buy it with money." Bai Chunsheng asked curiously when he said this: "Hey, you really don't plan to sell it. These small things? I think in your store, these small things will sell well, maybe the sales will be very good. After all, other items in your store are too expensive for ordinary people to buy. You can buy a few cheap small items , many people will be happy."

Xu Jingxing shook his head, "When I don't earn enough money, I can't take all the money-making work into my own hands. Yes, these small pieces may sell, but relatively speaking, it takes time and effort and the profit is low. , I can’t do it alone.”

"Didn't you accept several apprentices?"

"A disciple is a disciple, I am me, and the disciple can help cut a stone, and the main work is still done by myself."

"You are honest. If it were someone else, I would have hired apprentices to do the work. Hehehe, I have seen the tricks of many masters from all walks of life to make money. Many works are made by apprentices or studios, and the masters We are only responsible for stamping, taking photos, and signing, which is simply not too cool."

The phenomenon Bai Chunsheng mentioned really exists, and it is not an individual phenomenon, but on the contrary. It has even existed since ancient times. Others will not mention it, just talk about Liu Luoguo.

Liu Luoguo is the excellent handwriting written by Liu Yong. There are countless people who seek it, and the market price is also very high. Especially when Liu Yong's official position becomes more and more prominent, Liu Yong's works become more and more valuable. More and more numerous.

And how could Liu Yong have so much time to write for others every day?
So Liu Yong found a ghostwriter, none other than his concubine, and more than one concubine, all three concubines were trained by him to be qualified ghostwriters, so that later, the three concubines wrote The characters written by Liu Yong are almost on the same level, reaching the level of false ones, so that people can only distinguish them from the inscriptions.

Fortunately, Liu Yong is a kind person, and all the works written by the concubine will be signed by "Shi'an" or "Shi'an" seal.

Well, there is another sign that "Ying Meng Zen" is written by a concubine.

It was really impossible for Liu Yong to find someone to write it on behalf of others.

But now many so-called masters are not. The purpose of these people is to make money.

Xu Jingxing talked about this phenomenon when he was chatting with Sun Mengmeng in Kecheng. In the Zisha world, many masters basically did nothing after they became famous. Apprentices leave their own signatures and seals on their works, and share accounts with apprentices after they are sold in the name of master works.

These days, basically as long as one can be rated as a provincial master of arts and crafts, such a name alone can be worth a lot of money.

The same regular purple sand teapot can be sold for tens of thousands or even 10,000+ with the inscription of a provincial arts and crafts master, but without such an inscription, the price is only a thousand dollars.

Of course, there are also national-level arts and crafts masters making this money.

It's just that the number of national-level arts and crafts masters is limited, and the works of masters are even more limited. These masters dare not act so recklessly.However, the net worth of these masters is also higher, and they can make hundreds of thousands or even more for nothing if they sell one.

In addition, the identification of purple clay teapots is a big problem. Many professional appraisers may not be able to 100% identify the authenticity of a purple clay teapot. Therefore, in this industry, the phenomenon of ghostwriting and foundry is very rampant.

Last summer, CCTV also reported on this phenomenon, but it was quiet for a while, and it didn't take long before it revived.

Whether Xu Jingxing or Sun Mengmeng hated this kind of phenomenon, they wished that all those black apples who destroyed the development of the industry would be pulled out and paraded in the streets.It's a pity that this kind of thinking can only be an idea. In fact, it would be great if they can manage themselves well and keep themselves away from this unhealthy trend, but they can't control others.

It was also because of this that Xu Jingxing would never let his apprentices do the work.

It was the same with An Xin, and it was the same with Li Lingyu.

If he is determined to make that fortune, with An Xin's strength, he can do it now. Anyway, An Xin's work style is in the same line as his, and most people can't tell the difference. Not to mention, there is a high probability of crossing the sea.

In that way, the turnover of the Daocheng store can easily be doubled, and the income of Anxin can be doubled several times.
