  Antique market morning market

  Bursting with popularity

  Every weekend, Uncle Zhang, a citizen of Zhengzhou, will hang out in Zhengzhou Antique City at the intersection of Huaihe Road and Daxue Road with a cloth bag and a flashlight. This is a hobby he has been insisting on for many years.

  Henan Business Daily reporter saw him in the morning market. He said that although he was wandering around, he actually came to look for antique art. "When you see something good, you will buy one." Therefore, over the past few years, I have also collected many good things.

  The morning market of Zhengzhou Antique City starts at 6 o’clock every weekend. From its opening to the present, it has lasted for 20 years and has become a cultural phenomenon in Zhengzhou.

  Guo Hua, the person in charge of Zhengzhou Antique City Market, said: "Every weekend morning, Zhengzhou Antique City is very lively. People who come from all directions to set up stalls and visit the market will come here in unison. " Guo Hua said that vendors who set up stalls will collect new antique artworks from the people, and antique lovers will come here to see what’s new.

  In the morning market, Henan Business Daily reporter saw a street vendor from Sanmenxia. He said that he has been engaged in this business for nearly seven years, and every weekend he will set up a stall in Zhengzhou Antique City and bring his own new products.

  "In our line of work, it is generally an acquaintance business, and strangers can’t trust it easily, so as not to be deceived." The merchant said that if there are no new products, customers will still look old when they come to visit, and they will not attract customers if they have more times.

  There is really no money to pay the rent.

  Just sell a few collections at a low price.

  In Jingwu Road Zhongyuan Antique City, Mr. Zhao, 41, has been engaged in art trading for more than two years.

  In fact, before that, he had done other business. Two years ago, he resolutely gave up other businesses and rented a shop in Zhongyuan Antique City, specializing in antique art trading.

  "Over the past two years, I have accumulated some friends, but the business has not developed as I thought." Mr. Zhao said that at the beginning, the interest was relatively high, and then it gradually became a kind of persistence.

  It is understood that the rent of Mr. Zhao’s shop is about 1,700 yuan per month. I have hardly made any money in the two years since I opened the store. And my savings have been slowly exhausted in many times of receiving goods and exchanges in other places.

  "I often ask myself, when can I persist? Stick to it until you can’t stick to it. After all, people still have to survive and have families to support. " Mr. Zhao sighed.

  At noon on September 4th, when the reporter of Henan Business Daily interviewed Tianxia Collection in Zhengdong New District, he saw a merchant over 60 years old cutting shredded radish and onions on the counter of the shop.

  "Business has been bad for two years, and now I’m so poor that I can only eat cold radish." The merchant told the Henan Business Daily reporter wryly that he has been in this market for more than four years, and his business was basically ok in the first two years. In the past two years, his business has gradually become deserted.

  In Zhongyuan Antique City, some merchants lament that business is not good and they can’t afford the rent. Another merchant said that they never worry about the rent. If there is really no money to pay the rent, take out a few collections and sell them at low prices, and the rent will be there.

  In this regard, a person in charge of the market said that in any market, 50% of merchants belong to micro-profit merchants, about 40% of merchants belong to loss-making operations, and only about 10% of merchants make money.

  The older it is, the more valuable it is?

  Ancient rubbish is still rubbish now.

  When it comes to antiques, the first thing that many people think of is their expensive value. What do people in the "besieged city" of the antique market think of the high value of antiques? Are antiques really as valuable as we thought? Is the older the "old things", the more valuable they are?

  Wang Jianqiang, vice-president of Henan Antiques Chamber of Commerce, told Henan Business Daily, "In the 1960s and 1970s, there was a phenomenon of’ missing’. Some antique dealers received good things at extremely low prices and sold them at extremely high prices. The antique market was a training ground for millionaires. However, the older things are, the more valuable they are. The ancient rubbish is still rubbish now, and the fine works made by modern masters are equally valuable. Only fine products can stand the test of time and have higher artistic value and collection value with the accumulation of time. "

  When a reporter from Henan Business Daily visited Zhengzhou Antique City, a wang xing merchant said: "We go through the streets to collect antiques and artworks, and then come to this market to trade and sell them to other merchants. Other merchants with channels then sell them to collectors at high prices." The merchant said that a work of art will change hands many times, and the price will be higher every time it changes hands.

  According to the merchant, he once received a piece of jade at a price of several thousand yuan and sold it for 300 thousand yuan after changing hands. "However, with the continuous improvement of everyone’s eye level, this kind of omission is rare."

  Produce a transaction dispute

  Cultural relics identification is more difficult.

  In addition to being the vice president of Henan Antiques Chamber of Commerce, Wang Jianqiang is also proud of his identity.

  "I am a social judge of the Social Court of Antique Industry in Henan Province and the first social judge of the Cultural Relics Court in China. This is the only one in Henan Province. When a dispute over the sale of antiques enters the court, because the judges of the court don’t know enough about the professional knowledge of cultural relics, they don’t know the authenticity of cultural relics, but we (social judges) are qualified to judge. "

  "I have handled many cultural relics disputes. Once, a city court entrusted Henan Antique Industry Social Court for appraisal. Generally, there were three social judges in this social court, and I was the chief officer at that time.

  At that time, the investigators said that the jade ornaments involved in the case were very valuable, worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, but after our identification, this jade was fake. Because the evaluation of a work depends on whether the material is good, whether the idea is good or not, and whether the material is good or not, this jade article does not meet these standards. Later, our report identified that this jade article was only worth several hundred dollars. "Wang Jianqiang said.
