Ma Weidu: Artwork will become a new investment growth point (Figure)

Recently, it was reported that Ma Weidu had donated private museums that had been painstakingly operating for 15 years. He was managed by the Communist Party but not his son. It is really difficult for the reporter to pay tribute to Ma Weidu. Even though he is famous for his collection, Ma Weidu does not regard the current collections as a big deal.

Ma Weidu said: "In the case of unstable stock market and limited real estate investment, investment in art has become an investment growth point. I don't think this is related to everyone's cultural enthusiasm. It's just a change of investment. This is not a collection. It is investment, but China's national power is not consistent with such a high-priced consumer art work. Like the most expensive artifacts in the world that have just recently been taken, 5.5 billion Qianlong pastels hollowed out a blue-and-white fish-patterned bottle. The price is only one step away from the world’s most expensive collectibles, which I bought in the Liulichang Store in 1987 and was sold for more than 400,000 yuan, an increase of more than 1,000 times. Artwork is not the same as the house, the house is a hard need, and the artwork is not. There is a saying that when you have money, the artwork is the last to enter the house; when you have no money, the artwork is the first to go out. I do not encourage people to invest in works of art casually. I emphasize the improvement of the quality of people and the maturity of the concept of cultural consumption."

In the face of collectors, most people always want to know how much money he started from or how much wealth he has now. Ma Weidu said that he had started collecting since the time when people around him had little sense of collecting. In more than 20 years, he has not only accumulated considerable collections, but also accumulated considerable wealth. He summed up his collection experience and compared the collection to stocks: “I think more of everything, and everything can see a situation where it will eventually develop. When the big direction is clear, many links will be solved. It's up."

Ma Weidu also suggested that we should not follow the trend blindly at first. He said that from ancient times to the present, the nature of collection is a personal hobby, but it has been used as a means of profit-making and it should not be so.
