Chapter 608: The original method
When will the purple clay teapot made by Chen Wenzhe be settled for several years and the market price can reach 300,000 or 500,000. At that time, he truly deserves the title of national master of arts and crafts.
Let’s just stay tuned now and take it step by step, otherwise Chen Wenzhe would not be able to maintain his current market position!
I briefly talked about the characteristics of the modern art market with Li Jinli, but Chen Wenzhe ignored him.
Walking out of the Yiming Hall, Chen Wenzhe did not rush to leave, but walked in this huge building with great changes.
While walking, he looked at it. When he arrived at Zhang Yijie's shop, he almost couldn't recognize him.
"Zhangjia Modern Art Boutique? Does it sell blue and white? It's really good!"
After looking at the situation in the Zhangjia store, although the business is not as popular as his family, it is not a waste of time.
At this time, Aunt Zhang was greeting the guests. When she saw Chen Wenzhe coming, she immediately walked out with a smile.
"Wenzhe, you've been rare lately!"
"There's no way, the factory in my development zone has just opened."
"Come in and wait for a while, Yijie and the others went to the warehouse. Recently, our entire antique city has taken up your business and the business has become good."
"The business has become good?" Chen Wenzhe looked at several merchants in surprise.
They are obviously not collectors, but more like wholesalers.
Sure enough, Aunt Zhang directly introduced: "This one is the boss of Yimiantang. Those purple clay teapots are his works. These are the bosses who do ceramic art business in various scenic spots and come to purchase goods."
"You are professional in selling blue and white porcelain?"
Chen Wenzhe looked at Zhang Yijie's products, which were of many varieties, including various bottles, jars, and even some antiques, such as Blue and White Zun, Ruyi Bottle, etc.
These slightly larger instruments can be seen, and there are even some fine products in it.
But those bowls, plates, and plates are not good. Although it can be seen that they are handmade products, their production level is really average.
Let’s just say that, it turns out that Chen Wenzhe sold this grade porcelain in a small market outside the Grand Academy of Fine Arts.
In other words, these things should also be from students from the Academy of Fine Arts. They used to have no channels to sell their works, but now they have channels, they have flowed into Hualou.
No need to think that this must be Zhang Yijie's work, and he has this channel.
"You still have to find some experts, otherwise this kind of business won't last long!"
After Aunt Zhang saw off the three guests, Chen Wenzhe reminded.
"I know, Yijie said it too, but the time is too short. For a moment, he couldn't find a master from the Grand Academy of Fine Arts."
"I know a few, but I don't know if they have fixed sellers. Let me ask, otherwise, when my side is stable, I can also share some of the goods for you."
"How embarrassed? Yijie has already said that if you don't bother you, you still can't bother you!"
"That's all. When the production capacity of my factory comes up, I'll ask you to help deliver some goods, otherwise it's not good if you put it in the warehouse."
"You are really good at talking. I saw the situation on your side just now. The purple clay teapots were taken away by someone? They are the lowest-priced ones, which are five hundred and one sets, right? You have to make more of those, so it shouldn't be difficult to make them?"
Speaking of this, Aunt Zhang felt a little sad.
She didn't know anything else, she knew that the craftsmanship level of cheap things should be very low. If that's the case, why not produce them in large quantities?
You should know that the price of a set of 500 teapots is also very good.
Although she didn't know the profit margin of Yimiantang, she knew that Chen Wenzhe never did a low-profit business.
Thinking of this, it must be a lot of money. So, why don’t this kind of tea set that doesn’t worry about selling wins by quantity?
"There is no choice, I really can't be busy. I now have the idea of going to Jingzhen to wholesale a batch of porcelain." Chen Wenzhe said jokingly.
Aunt Zhang was very serious: "It's not just you who have this idea, but Yijie and his father also have this idea. They even went to Jingzhen, but they found that the market there seemed to be a bit off the curve. They made high-quality imitations, and there were not many brand stores that specialize in modern art. Some of them were not allowed to join in."
"There should be many ceramic factories and art companies in Jingzhen?"
"It's quite a lot, but we can't get a good price for better porcelain. If we really want to come in, we won't make any money."
"How come you don't make money?" Chen Wenzhe felt a little strange.
"That's a high imitation. Selling at the price of modern art will definitely not make money. We are not their good customers. Their customers are all in antique business. Just like before, if you buy a batch of high imitation, you will sell it as antiques. If you sell any of them, the profit will not be low."
Chen Wenzhe was a little silent, which was also his original method.
For example, the high imitations of various dynasties obtained from Wu Er were, as long as the quality was better, he couldn't help but think about making the old.
In fact, he must know better about the high imitation of things than Aunt Zhang.
Not to mention the other words, just talk about the blue and white underglaze red he made. There are few imitations of this kind of porcelain because it is difficult to fire.
However, there are many imitations of underglaze red. Nowadays, there are some ordinary imitations on the market. If it is a high-quality imitation, the cost of firing a small high-foot cup is no less than 100,000 yuan.
This is also the reason why the gem red fired by Chen Wenzhe and the blue and white underglaze red are so popular.
Everyone knows that even modern imitations have a good fire cost.
As for Chen Wenzhe, he is an anomaly. His starting point is too high, so at the beginning, several batches of blue and white underglaze red were burned. Although the number of them was not large, the firing success rate was 100%.
This is entirely because modern furnaces and his exquisite kiln firing technology and porcelain making technology can save him a lot of money.
Otherwise, if you successfully fire a piece of blue and white underglaze red, even if you sell a piece of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan per piece, you won’t have much profit.
Generally speaking, the yield rate of firing blue and white underglaze red can reach 100% even if it is very high.
Therefore, if the cost of a large blue and white underglaze red jar is 1,000 yuan, then multiplying by 100, the cost of successfully firing one piece will reach 100,000 yuan.
So is the cost of a large blue and white underglaze red jar really only one thousand yuan?
Mud body is money, glaze is money, and labor is not money?
There is also a kiln that costs a lot of money whether it is electricity or gas!
The yield rate is high, nothing is a problem.
If the yield rate is not high, a large number of porcelain embryos will enter the electric kiln, which will only cost the firing and will kill people.
The cost of the furnace burning furnace is also amazing.
Even if the firing is successful, there will be a lot of channels, subsequent taxes, etc. Adding up all the fees is really a lot.
If it is a modern artwork, then if it is a successful fire, it will definitely be sold at a high price?
