On the evening of March 15th, the 24th Zigong International Dinosaur Lantern Festival closed, and more than 130 groups of lanterns were "turned off".Where will these lanterns with different postures, representing the highest level of craftsmanship in China and even the world go?After public bidding, there are more than 130 sets of lanterns, except for many lanterns collected by the China Lantern Museum and some large-scale lanterns that are difficult to transport, most of the exquisite lanterns were sold out by enterprises from Liaoning, Shanxi, Zhejiang and local,and nearly 30 large trucks were installed.
On the afternoon of March 18, it was seen in the Zigong Lantern Park that the demolition of the light group of the 24th Zigong International Dinosaur Lantern Festival was proceeding in an orderly manner. According to a staff, except for a few lanterns that were disassembled for waste disposal, most of the lanterns have been bought by merchants and are waiting to be loaded and transported away.
Mr. Du is the person in charge of a garden enterprise in Shanxi.This year, he signed up for bidding qualifications, spent less than 100,000 yuan to buy nearly a hundred lantern products, and used 4 large trucks to transport them back to Shanxi to dress up the gardens. He said that "value for money".Mr.Du said that from the perspective of craftsmanship, the lanterns displayed in the Zigong Lantern Festival are not only exquisite in craftsmanship, representing the highest level of Zigong lanterns, but they are all debuts and unique; from a commercial point of view, they are cost-effective. After you buy it, you only need to re-paste it and complete it, plus the freight per car about 7000 to 8000 yuan. The cost is much lower than asking the lantern company to make it on site.
The company that bought the most was a company from Liaoning. According to the person in charge sent to the site by the company, they were bidding for larger lanterns, but they chose to install some of the lantern products and lighting in the lantern groups. The lantern craftsmanship is exquisite and the structure is exquisite. At present, there are nearly 20 cars installed. After being shipped back to Liaoning, we will ask craftsmen to re-paper to decorate the environment.
Wang Changling, Deputy Director of the Headquarters and Exhibition Department of the Zigong International Dinosaur Lantern Festival, introduced that most of the lantern groups exhibited at the Zigong Lantern Festival are special-shaped lantern groups made according to related themes and on-site terrain. After the exhibition, Their use value is very low. In previous years, they were treated as waste, and only a small amount of materials can be recycled and reused.Since the year before last (the 22nd Zigong international dinosaur Lantern Festival), in order to advocate environmental protection and further give full play to the reuse value of the lantern group, the headquarters of Zigong Lantern Festival has tried to sell the lantern group publicly and let units and individuals who intend to use the lamp group to decorate the environment come to buy it.
Wang Changling, Deputy Minister, said that this year's lantern sales work was announced on March 8. As of March 10, a total of 9 applicants had signed up, of which 6 eligible units participated in the on-site auction on March 13. Of these 6 units, 3 units are from Liaoning, Zhejiang and Shanxi, and the remaining 3 units are from Zigong.
Wang Changling, Deputy Minister, said that at the end of the auction, more than 130 lanterns in the park, most of the beautifully shaped lanterns have been sold, and preliminary statistics have shipped nearly 30 vehicles.
Regarding the selling price of the lantern, Wang Changling,Deputy Minister said that it ranges from one to two hundred yuan to tens of thousands of yuan, depending on its size, craftsmanship and other factors.Among them, the Kirin of lantern"Kirin Offerings"started at 2,000 yuan, and finally was sold for 21,000 yuan, which become the most value-added lantern this year.For foreign merchants, the transportation cost is definitely higher than the cost of buying the lantern.At present, the shipment of the sale of lanterns is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Except for some large-scale lantern products that are difficult to transport, most of the small-scale lantern products with exquisite shapes were snatched up by companies from Liaoning, Shanxi, Zhejiang and local companies.In addition, five lanterns including "Panda", "Animation Story" and "Mianyang" are collected by the China Lantern Museum in Zigong.
Why are domestic businesses keen to buy the lanterns exhibited at the Zigong Lantern Festival?An industry insider who did not want to be named introduced: First of all, these foreign merchants have their own purchase needs. After they buy, they mostly use it to decorate the environment, so there is no new and old requirements for the lantern frame;secondly, to save capital costs, if you ask for Zigong Lantern companies go to the local to produce exactly the same lanterns, the cost is very high, and they may not be able to produce the same level of lanterns;third, repairing and perfecting the skeleton after purchasing can save time cost;fourth, the recognition and awareness of Zigong lantern by foreign merchants are increasing.
