My system is not decent

After seeing the local museum and the process of making bronzes, Chen Wenzhe also wanted to see for himself how they made old bronzes.

Of course, this does not mean that you need to look back to see it, but you want to see it with your own eyes.

Obviously, this hope will not be satisfied soon.

Although I know it is impossible to see it with my own eyes, but I want to try my best when I come here.

Walking in the village, on both sides of the nearly one-kilometer-long street entering the village, in addition to the common rural farmyards in the north, you can also see more than a dozen shops facing the street that manufacture bronze wares.

This is the largest production base of antique bronze wares in the country. There are 500 people in the village and more than 900 households.

What can be seen on the street is only some shops, and there are more family workshops in the village, and farmers make bronze wares in their own homes.

It can also be seen from this that there is fierce competition in the village.

Although the street is quiet on the surface, it implies competition just like the workshops behind.

Chen Wenzhe noticed this very quickly, so can he be a big wholesaler?

During that process, the paraffin wax will quickly melt and be absorbed by the hardened gypsum inside, thus forming an unshaped cavity outside the gypsum.

That is also the main reason why there is so much competition there, in fact, eight or seven people can imitate bronze wares there.

That's not a store, it's obviously a street store run by a farmer.

Due to the rise in the price of copper, the price of the bronze wares hoarded later also fell, and in 2008 I lost money.

To make bronze ware, you must first imitate the real object or pictures, and make molds and wax models.

The wax model is the key to the beauty of the bronze ware. The production of the wax model requires an original original model, which is usually artificially carved out of paraffin wax in imitation of the ancient bronze ware.Therefore, old customers who have rarely been here order imitation bronzes from those big merchants through the Internet.

The large workshops run by those villagers have been affected by the small market environment since the end of 2007, and the sales situation outside the store is not bad.

In that yard, an iron pot, gypsum, copper melting furnace, paraffin wax, etc., are the main tools for making bronzes.

In Yanjian Village, although almost every farmer can make bronze wares independently.

It doesn't mean that the family with only eight people is not a typical family workshop in Yanjian Village.

In that way, making bronzes is not easy.

However, due to the low cost of opening a store and the lack of operating experience, they switched to the business model of opening a store at home.

Due to poor product shape and quality, although it is also affected by the shrinking market.

In the back hall of more than [-] square meters, there are seven display racks, under the eucalyptus platform in the middle, and even under the ground are full of broken bronze wares.

Therefore, the shape and fineness of the wax model are very important.

Such a meager profit, once the price of copper raw materials fluctuates, causing the price of bronze wares to rise, is enough to eat up the profits of some large workshops.

But the current sales situation is not worse than in 2008.

That wax model is made of paraffin raw material, which is also the final appearance of the product.

Therefore, they compete with each other and sell at a low price.

In fact, a finished bronze ware that costs 40 yuan can often be sold for an extra ten yuan.

The first step is to cast the molten copper, aluminum, tin and other metal liquids out of the holes left under the gypsum later.

Therefore, for many workshop-type farmers, excluding the cost of production raw materials, they can make money as long as they sell.

Therefore, sometimes the products are sold across the country as handicraft gifts, but usually they are sold directly to domestic distributors.

Since there is no contract between the two parties, the seller is often the first to do it because the bid is too high, which disrupts the business.

Under the Bronze Ware Street in Yanjian Village, a workshop with eight people like that is relatively large-scale, and there are usually no seven or seven people in a family workshop.

Here, in order to present the aesthetic effect of the unearthed bronzes, it is not possible to use physical or chemical methods to degrade the bronze surface and make it old, and finally form a turquoise bronze appearance.

The owner has a family of eight, not all workers.

At this moment, there are no two people outside the store who are preparing the paraffin wax needed to make bronze at the front door of the back hall.

There are no smaller family workshops, and a few more workers have to be hired.

Out there, we're casting bronzes using lost wax casting.

Saw off the remaining part before cooling down, and after polishing, it becomes a bronze ware.

As long as it is at a loss, in order to get customers, the price is higher than the other.

I saw a shop called "Xia, Shang and Zhou Bronze Art".

There is a way to do that, because there are one or two hundred bronze workshops in Yanjian Village.

And the courtyard in front of the gate is not our "factory" for making bronze wares.

It's just that it's the same everywhere, and the low-level craftsmanship is passed down from inside.

The farmers who are particularly able to operate very badly are all mom-and-pop shops.

Such stores, especially my husband, often contact customers in Lidi, and establish long-term business relationships with some retailers or wholesalers in some big commodity markets in some cities.

After shopping for a long time, Chen Wenzhe realized that there were only eight or seven companies in Yanjian Village without formal procedures.

That is, but the customers suffered losses, and the merchants in Yanjian Village also lost their credibility.Fang Changwei believes that it is "human consciousness is action".

And such a product can sell for at least seven or eight hundred yuan in the retail market.

In fact, he really likes some of the works here, and if possible, he doesn't mind ordering a batch at a high price.

However, since the craftsmanship and tools of each family are the same, the products produced are always of the same level.

Therefore, in the square inch of Yanjian Village, it is very common for farmers to bid with each other.

But if you go to Yangluo, there are only a few shops, and you can sell them at a low price.

Few people also understand that the profit of selling like that is too much, and they will try to open sales channels in Li province in the future.

In fact, even a few small local companies face less pressure from market competition and demand changes when going global, and have not established fewer sales channels, and still focus on production and processing.

Whenever sellers or corporate customers in Lidi came to wholesale or order bronze wares there, there would be no secret price war among the local family workshops.

Then a thick layer of gypsum mud is spread on the inside of the wax model, and the wax model is wrapped and then baked in the oven.

And with this decision, the next thing became very interesting. He really didn't expect that the competition here would be so fierce that it would tear each other down.

There are even some stores that know a certain customer and have not negotiated a price with other stores, and will still pry the customer over at a higher price.

As for the buyer, there are some customers who are short on time and have low requirements, and they can do it there. At first, they only got gift companies to buy at low prices.
