668 Surprise

Compared with the domestic housewives’ financial management concepts in our country, the Japanese housewives’ financial management concepts are indeed much more advanced.≥≥points≥small≥says,

They are not ashamed of using old goods, and even many housewives are proud of having a set of old lacquerware or antique dining tables at home.

Our domestic concept of family finance is currently mainly about buying houses, stocks, and even lending loans. This is indeed much worse than others in terms of risk and value preservation.

Watanabe was not talking, and Jin Muchen was not asking anymore. He just began to pay attention to the scene in the market and tasted the difference between this market and the antique markets he had been to before.

In fact, after looking at it, the most intuitive impression is just one thing, that is, cleanliness.

Although there are a lot of people, most Japanese people will carry a plastic bag when they visit the market. If there is any garbage on them, they will put it in the plastic bag. When they leave, they will throw the plastic bag into the trash can at the entrance of the exhibition hall. This is indeed much more conscious than the Chinese people.

Moreover, an ashtray is placed in front of almost every stall, but in the entire venue, there are very few people smoking, and there are even no one at all.

This made Jin Muchen very impressed. After reading the market overview, Jin Muchen focused all his attention on the exhibits at a stall on the market.

Most of the exhibits in the antique area are from Northeast Asian style, mainly porcelain, and these porcelains are almost all influenced by ancient Chinese artistic styles.

Various cups, bowls, plates, and various blue and white porcelains, but first of all, the shapes are not very large. They are mainly practical. There are few large ornamental instruments.

At first glance, it seems to be similar to Chinese antique porcelain. But if you look carefully at the patterned statues on the cups, bowls, plates, you can see the difference.

The characteristics of flowers, birds, insects and fish above are mostly Japanese-style, and the figures are mainly Japanese-style.

There is also a large number of Korean porcelains, and Korean porcelains are also greatly influenced by China. In addition, most of these Korean porcelains are celadons mainly imitated by Song porcelain. There are not many patterned statues on them.

After looking at it, Jin Muchen didn't like many things because he didn't see any porcelain coming to China in this market. He couldn't help but feel very strange, so he asked Jun Watanabe.

"San Watanabe, I've been watching it for a while. The scale of this antique exhibition is not small. There are about a few thousand stalls, but why are there no antique porcelain from China in these stalls? I looked at it and found that most of them are Japanese and Korean porcelain?"

When Watanabe heard this question, he smiled bitterly.

"Jimsan is like this. The antique porcelain here is indeed mainly composed of Japanese and Korean porcelain. Chinese porcelain is very rare at such exhibitions. The specific reason is that Japanese antiques and Korean antique porcelain in the early years were influenced by Chinese civilization, so the artistic style is basically the same as Chinese porcelain. But if you really compare the porcelain from the three families, it will definitely be a big deal. To be honest, Chinese porcelain is the ancestor of Japanese and Korean porcelain, so the price is also a big deal. China

The price of antique porcelain is definitely much higher than that of Japanese and Korean porcelain. Such exhibitions mainly face consumers, all popular groups, and some housewives. If you put those Chinese porcelain out, the identity of Chinese porcelain will be reduced, and these housewives will not afford it. So this is also the main reason why Chinese porcelain is rarely seen at such exhibitions. If you want to buy those high-end Chinese porcelain, then I suggest you go to the antique shop in the Nihonbashi area in front of the Tokyo Auto Show."

Watanabe's words made Jin Muchen feel a lot more comfortable. As expected, no matter where he went, our porcelain in Greater China can be regarded as the masters in the porcelain industry.

Even if it is a small Japanese who likes to promote their culture, they have to bow down to Europe.

Even now, our Chinese porcelain is considered high-end goods in Japan!

What are Japanese porcelain, Korean porcelain, and our Greater Chinese porcelain, now they are a few streets away from them.

Of course, this is only within the Chinese cultural circle, and in the world, there are not many high-end antique porcelains that can compete with Chinese porcelain.

For example, European porcelain, which was born in the 17th and 18th centuries, is now the top antique porcelain in the international antique market.

Especially the Severler Porcelain Factory in France, or the Royal Dalton and Wedgewood porcelain in Britain, are antique porcelains that can compete with our Greater China porcelain in the antique market now.

When it comes to modern porcelain, people have left us a few streets behind. The current British Royal Dalton bone porcelain, Wedgewood, Germany's Dresden porcelain, and even the works of the American Reynox Porcelain Factory have already left us a few streets behind our porcelain capital.

It makes people blush. Who would have thought that the ancestor who invented porcelain, who has now fallen to such a level in the international market?

Now the porcelain exported by China is just synonymous with cheap street stalls internationally, while the real high-end goods are all Western porcelain. Such a scene was something that the ancestors thousands of years ago would never have thought of.

Since there were not many Chinese porcelains on the market, Jin Muchen was patient and began to check out the Japanese and Korean porcelains on the market.

But to be honest, the quality of these porcelains is indeed incomparable to the antique porcelains in China. Whether it is body quality, glaze, or patterned statues on porcelains, it is indeed a big difference compared with the porcelains of our country.

Of course, the things are average and the prices are relatively average, and they are not very high. Jin Muchen probably took a look.

A piece of porcelain from the last shogunate period, even if it is a fine porcelain, the average price is less than 10,000 yuan, and the average quality is only two or three thousand yuan. It seems that the price of these Japanese antique vendors is quite real, not like the antique money skewers in China. No matter what, they will come up and give you a scary high price, and then slowly grind it with you little by little.

"The merchants here generally do not have to pay too high a false price for their goods. Basically, they are one level higher than their income price, or about two levels. This is also the default unspoken rule of this market. Moreover, the vendors here have a higher reputation. Generally, fakes rarely appear here. Even if you don't understand, you don't have to worry about being cheated here."

Watanabe introduced Jin Muchen a brief introduction to the pricing mechanism in this market. Jin Muchen suddenly realized that no wonder there was no such scene where he saw in other markets, making loud bargaining scenes.

It turns out that the pricing mechanism here is basically open and transparent.

The few words from Watanabe made Jin Muchen blush. If this were in China, these housewives from Watanabe's wife group would have been slaughtered and cried.

I can see the freshness of the market, but Jin Muchen really has nothing to admire about the things inside.

However, it was finally here to come here, and if you just left like this, it would be a bit uninspiring. Since it has nothing to do with antiques, it would be better to go to the foreign antiques.

So he turned around and walked towards the row of foreign antique stalls, but when he was about to walk out of the row of stalls, a blue light suddenly flashed in front of Jin Muchen's eyes.

This sudden green light made Jin Muchen stunned because he hadn't seen such a jewelry spirit for a long time.

It was common when I used to visit the antique market, but recently, his main energy has been focusing on smuggling antiques. He is not often going to such antique markets, so he hasn't seen such jewelry for a while.

In addition, he had been visiting the Tokyo Bay Antique Fair for most of the day, especially in the Antiques District. He felt that he was gradually desperate and thought he would not encounter any good things. But when he turned around and left, he could actually see such a jewelry here, which shocked his mental position. Could it be that there was something good here?

He turned around and walked towards the stall, which was a stall specializing in selling various bronzes, with various bronzes placed on it.

Unlike in China, there is no way for Japan to make copper products circulate in the antique market, so there are many copper and other items placed on this stall.

Various bronze ornaments, copper lanterns, etc. are interesting to look at, but you can tell at the glance that these are obviously not the kind of bronze ware that are popular in China.

The circulation of bronze ware is prohibited in China mainly because those bronze ware are basically copper tripods, copper woks, or chimes. As long as such things are unearthed, they will be national treasures. Because in the era when they were produced, such things were basically not affordable by ordinary people, and they are basically used in the imperial palace, so they are directly listed as national treasures.

But this is not the case in Japan. When we were able to produce and manufacture bronzes, the people here had just come down from the trees and were still knotting ropes to record things, and they didn't even have their own language or words.
