A trillion-yuan cultural and cultural heritage blue ocean awaits lawyers to expand their industry
May 18th is World Museum Day. According to officially released data, the scale of China's cultural and museum industry, excluding cultural relics from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and abroad, has exceeded 500 trillion yuan, almost equivalent to the size of real estate. However, contrary to the annual decline in real estate valuation, the appreciation trend of cultural relics and antiques is obvious. As the legal adviser of the National Cutural Heritage Administration, the National Museum and China Poly International Auction Co., Ltd. for many years, Gaopeng Law Firm has been standing at the forefront of the cultural and museum industry, and will certainly seize the opportunity and make great achievements.
It is reported that in the past 10 years, the number of people who have joined the stationery industry in China has surged to over 80 million. "Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times" has attracted more and more people to enter the stationery industry. However, there are less than 2000 iron powder who are truly involved in high, refined, true, and thin circles.
The National Cutural Heritage Administration has spent three years, using more than 100000 people to conduct a survey of the mainland's state-owned cultural relics. The conclusion is that there are 108154907 existing cultural relics, while more than ten million cultural relics have been lost overseas, and there are about millions of cultural relics in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. It is said that this is not the true number of cultural relics on the mainland, as the number of folk treasures should exceed ten times that of state-owned cultural relics, and the absolute number should exceed one billion.
In the past two years, the number of Chinese cultural relics and antiques sold worldwide each year is less than 40 billion yuan, and the domestic auction turnover is less than 30 billion yuan, less than one sixth of the 16 trillion yuan real estate transaction volume.
After the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the role of real estate and the stock market in stimulating private investment has gradually declined. The country has started to launch a reform of the cultural and museum market to guide the transfer of private capital to cultural relics and products. Although the current reform steps have been modest and slow, the bow has been drawn and is poised to take off.
According to statistics, there are currently more than ten licensed lawyers investing in the establishment of cultural and entertainment museums, all of which are not large in scale. And lawyers specializing in legal services in the entertainment industry are even rarer. This does not match the intellectual class, social status, and income level of lawyers, nor does it match the market positioning in which lawyers should provide comprehensive legal services. The trillions of cultural relics market is a blue ocean for the future development of legal workers, requiring the involvement of people with lofty ideals.
