At present, there are many kinds of stalls and shops.
Among the antique markets in xi 'an, Shaanxi Xi 'an Antique City and Baxiangong Antique Market are large in scale and take a long time to form.
According to the marketing manager of Xi 'an Antique City, located in Zhuque Street, Zhuque Road Antique City was built and developed on the basis of the original Zhongbei flea market, with more than 500 cultural relics shops and two trading halls.
The service manager said that the antique city has a morning market every Saturday, which is the largest antique trading morning market in northwest China. At that time, there were more than 300 temporary booths, and some businessmen from southern cities such as Nantong also came here to trade. In the antique city, porcelain, jade, calligraphy and painting, badges, books, ancient coins, etc. There are special storefronts, as well as small and complete cultural relics shops. In these shops, almost every one sells ancient pottery, bronzes, jade, tri-colored porcelain of Tang Dynasty, ancient furniture and even calligraphy and painting collections. As long as you are looking for it, every antique dealer in the store may take it out for you.
When it comes to the Eight Immortals Palace (also known as the Eight Immortals Temple), local people immediately think of the smog on the first and fifteenth day of each month. The staff of the office told reporters that there are fixed stalls in the cultural relics market here, and the antique market has now developed into a spontaneous market with a wide range of vendors. A stall owner said that businessmen, teachers and officials came here to look for antiques.
These two antique markets have their own backgrounds and obvious trading characteristics. In the combination of stalls and shops, there are fine and secondhand goods here, and the antique market in Baxian Palace is more sold by farmers themselves.
If Zhuque Road and Baxian Palace antique market are cultured, then Xiaodongmen folk collection market and Shuyuanmen antique art and culture street can be said to be small jasper. Here is more of a mixture of antique art and arts and crafts, and the Academy Gate has become one of the tourist attractions for foreigners in Xi. When traveling, tourists can also find gold in some antique shops inside. Now there are fewer shops selling antiques in Xiaodongmen folk collection market than before, but buyers who are willing to find a single piece of precious cultural relics may wish to have a look.
Rules and regulations: bulk transactions are not conducted over the counter.
"He asked me to 360 yuan, and I bought it back in 80 yuan. Not bad, worth it! " Outside Shaanxi An Antique City, Mr. Liu, who just bought a smoke stove, happily told the reporter, "There are real things here. Generally speaking, there are many fakes, but there are really few. I have been interested in antiques since I went to school. I am close to work now, so I often come here. "
Speaking of his treasure hunt, he is very interested. "First of all, you should be critical and find out good things. Second, you should have a firm psychological price. Look at this smoking stove. It's made of copper. How finely carved it is! No matter what age, 80 yuan should say that the seller's profit is not big. " Mr. Liu told reporters, "Most of the things here are purchased from other places or suburbs. For example, I know that silverware costs only one yuan in Yunnan and can be sold for hundreds here. The purchase price of jadeite is also very low, and it can be sold with a little processing.
"The vendor here will know whether you really want to buy from the way you look at the goods, and large transactions are often not carried out at the counter. This is the guild regulations. I was followed by the stall owner to buy a Jingdezhen porcelain and trade it in the teahouse. "
If you don't open it for a year, you will eat it for a year.
"Doing business here is not a year, but a year!" Because Mr. Liu often comes here, he is quite familiar with the streets here. "The key is to seize market hotspots and selling points with high profits. For example, although there are many things in the market during the Cultural Revolution recently, there are also many acquisitions and sales of badges, calligraphy and painting, and used books, but the profits are not high. Things with high profits are still antique items. " Mr. Liu smiled and held up his smoking room and said, "In fact, we buyers are also very risky. I witnessed a buyer wavering among several nurses and finally paid a high price for a fake. There are not many such things. This is definitely Jiang Taigong fishing-those who want to take the bait. "
The business manager also told reporters that the operating profit of the business households here is indeed unstable, but as far as he knows, the minimum profit per month is also around two or three thousand yuan. The service manager said that many people made a fortune in this business. He saw a farmer in Lintong setting up a stall in the market. Because of his vision and mind, he bought two suites and a limousine in Xi 'an.
Managers of business households told reporters that they adopted a "one household, one tax system" to levy taxes on business households, and 800 yuan collected them at fixed booths. Now they are considering changing this method to direct collection by tax authorities, which can prevent tax loss more effectively.
People who play this business painfully have been cheated.
Mr. Jin is also a frequent visitor to An Antique City in Shaanxi Province. Every Saturday morning, he always comes here alone. In an obscure corner of the corridor inside, several pieces of porcelain are guarded. He told reporters that he has been in this business for 10 years, mainly buying things that are considered easy to sell in the market at low prices and selling them at high prices; What bothers him is that good goods are getting harder and harder to find, and there are too many fakes.
According to him, in the antique market like Antique City, there are still very few genuine products. He revealed that he occasionally found several pieces, or collected them or resold them. Like a dull gray porcelain bowl he brought today, it only costs more than ten yuan to come here. He said, in fact, there are tricks to do this business. A good antique dealer should not only have a deep understanding of history, craft and artistic modeling, but also observe the words and deeds of customers and be good at discovering their psychological price. Mr. Jin said that the seller would not be moved by the general bargaining.
During the chat, from time to time, someone took other porcelain to learn from him, and some people wanted to exchange other antiques for his porcelain bowl. After several failed transactions, an old gentleman with some gray hair bought a porcelain bowl with 120 yuan. Although the profit is almost ten times, Mr. Jin said that this business is not very profitable.
Mr. Jin said frankly that the motivation for starting this business was very simple, just because he liked it and saw someone make a fortune. But people in this line of work have basically been cheated, so they are particularly cautious now.
The management looks forward to the promulgation of the Measures for the Administration of Cultural Relics Circulation.
Mr. Zhang, the owner of a calligraphy and painting business, explained to reporters that antiques are traditional concepts and cultural relics cannot be traded. According to his understanding, the antiques sold in the market should be second-hand more strictly.
Whether antiques or second-hand goods, how to regulate their transactions and how to protect the rights and interests of investors when trading in the market?
Luo Xizhe, director of the Policy and Regulation Department of the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau, told the reporter: "According to the current Law on the Protection of Cultural Relics and the Regulations on the Implementation of the Law on the Protection of Cultural Relics, no unit or individual is allowed to engage in cultural relics business activities except approved cultural relics shops and auction enterprises that operate cultural relics auctions.
"The antique market is approved by the government and has existed and developed for many years. Since the law does not clarify how to dispose of and manage the antique market approved before the promulgation of the Law on the Protection of Cultural Relics, we can only focus on restricting the trade of unearthed cultural relics for the time being, and then implement it according to the regulations after the specific regulations come out. " Director Luo expressed the embarrassing situation of current supervision to reporters. At the same time, he said that if you accidentally buy fake goods, you should seek help from the Consumer Rights Protection Center.
In beilin district Industrial and Commercial Bureau, Mr. Sun, who is in charge of consumer complaints, told reporters about the phenomenon of buying fake antiques. If consumers complain and seek protection, they must have complete sales vouchers, such as invoices and identification certificates. When the reporter saw the buyer in the antique market, he didn't take the initiative to ask for the invoice. Mr Luo just bought a small vase for 50 yuan. He told reporters, "It's sharp-eyed people who come here to buy things. As the saying goes,' Amoy' antiques! In addition, the purchase price is within my tolerance. I have never thought about making a claim. "
Xi 'an's antique market is still developing. There is a spontaneous antique market in the southwest corner of cypress forest and city wall. For managers, there should be a long way to go to standardize and advocate Xi 'an's antique market.
