Chapter 317: Featured Silk
The Xu family is a cultural family, and most of the people who interact with them are also cultural people, and then the one who has a little more friendship is the Zhou Ye family, Master Xu is smart, and he is like a fish in water in these two families. Since Zhou Fei and Zhou Mu Sijue are engaged in jade-related careers, the congratulatory gifts they come to are also high-quality jade, they are experts in identifying good jade, and the jade they send is definitely not bad.
Most of the people who give congratulatory gifts today are sending calligraphy and paintings, because they know that Master Xu prefers this aspect. After receiving these congratulatory gifts, he was so happy that he was still eating, so he showed him a treasure.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is my birthday party, and I am very happy to see that so many of you can be here...... I believe that the guests who were able to attend my birthday banquet were also knowledgeable people, and I had a baby not long ago, and now I want to watch it with you while I am happy. Master Xu said with great interest, he clapped his hands and someone lifted his collection up, covered with a cloth, very old, Zhou Fei, who was eating, was also attracted by this movement, and looked up.
Looking at this article, it should be a pair of calligraphy and paintings, and it happens to follow the identity background of Master Xu. Master Xu straightened his back and slowly lifted the covering cloth himself, and the collection that was revealed after lifting it made everyone sitting there sigh with emotion.
"It's splendid!"
"This embroiderer is really only in the sky, so beautiful, it's lifelike!"
Everyone has admired, Mr. Xu's collection is the splendid work in front of him, it is a pair of calligraphy and painting, there is no mistake in embroidering it, it is embroidered with a peony butterfly picture, the picture of each peony flower is fine to the stem of each petal, fine to the fluff on the tentacles of each butterfly, the whole picture is more exquisite than the picture outlined by the painter with paper and pen, it is breathtaking, very spectacular.
After some guests saw it, they were directly stunned and couldn't say a word. Zhou Fei was also shocked, Master Xu is Master Xu, and as soon as the collection came out, everyone was impressed.
Si Yue also stared intently at this work, the embroidery on this picture is one of the amazing places, and the second is the background fabric used to embroider these patterns, each thread is like touching gold, shining in the sun, dazzling, so that peony flowers and butterflies are so precious. Xu Qinghe touched his chin, very puzzled when his father collected such a good thing, in his eyes, his father's collection was good and bad, but in general, the level was not high, but now that it was taken out, it really impressed him.
Seeing everyone's shocked looks, Master Xu smiled with relief, he was like them when he first saw this work, and he was completely stunned, so he spent a lot of money to buy this thing.
"Everyone, let me tell you what's good about my thing!" Master Xu said loudly, and the people below felt that he didn't need to be introduced, which was also recognized as a good thing.
Everyone's attention to this splendid is still very high, and Master Xu told how this collection came about and where it is precious. Mr. Xu said that the reason why this collection looks like it should only be in the sky is because the main material of this work is a characteristic silk from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Speaking of which, Master Xu specially sold a pass.
"What kind of special silk is it, Master Xu, you can make it clear!"
"yes, yes, you're too curious, aren't you?"
Everyone shouted, this embroidered silk is indeed unusual, as if using gold thread, but not as dazzling and granular as the real gold thread, this is real silk, the surface is smooth, the texture is very soft, and delicate, the color saturation is very good.
Zhou Fei tilted his head, and he didn't know when such silk came out in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the quality was so good, the price should not be too cheap, but after all, it was silk, since it was used for marketing, it would not be high, and selling it in large quantities was the main purpose of its production. As for Master Xu's collection, in addition to the silk fabrics used, its embroidery is also rare, so he took a fancy to it.
Master Xu accepted the collection, and Zhou Fei also ate the food absentmindedly, looking at the big fish and meat that he picked into the bowl, Xu Qingliu felt that he was very cute. Zhou Mu Sijue, who was sitting on the side, didn't have any expression, eating the dishes in front of him seriously, exuding an indescribable aura around his body, it didn't look so easy to get close, and only Zhou Fei was eating there heartlessly.
There were a lot of sycophants on the table, he didn't want to shoot or listen, so he still covered his head and ate directly. After eating, Master Xu invited everyone to visit his collection over the years, probably because the response he had just received was good, which made him happy, so he was suddenly so generous.
Zhou Fei and Zhou Mu Sijue followed behind everyone, slowly, not very attentively, not that they didn't pay attention to these treasures, but they didn't want to get too much attention in front.
Si Yue walked very slowly, and even the three of them walked side by side, "Boss Si, is there something wrong?" Si Yue is not such a person who has nothing to do, he saw the two of them looking so suspicious in the back, he usually wouldn't come here to join in the fun, but something was going on.
He smiled slightly and said: "I believe you have also seen the splendid collection of Master Xu just now, the silk of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in his mouth is undoubtedly a good thing, and for Shanghai in the north, it is even more precious." ”
Zhou Fei seemed to understand that he wanted to attract silk to Shanghai for sale, but they already had a jade shop to toss, and if they opened a silk shop with Jiangsu and Zhejiang characteristics, no one could guarantee whether it was right or wrong, "Have you really thought about it?"
He gave Zhou Fei a trusting look, and continued: "Of course I have taken it into account, I pay attention to this silk not because it may be popular unilaterally, but because I feel that the business of the jade shop has been robbed by the jade Zhou store, if we use this Jiangsu and Zhejiang characteristic silk, maybe we can combine it with our jade, maybe we can give us an advantage over the jade Zhou shop in the south and occupy the top position." ”
Zhou Fei nodded, what the boss said was right, now their jade business has lost its biggest advantage, this Jiangsu and Zhejiang characteristic silk is a new silk in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there is little or no silk in Shanghai, and the effect is so good, if it is used in the store, it will definitely get their liking.
"But the main problem now is that Master Xu needs someone to ask where he bought the silk used in his collection. Si Yue said meaningfully.
After coming to this banquet, he saw that Zhou Fei actually came with Zhou Mu Sijue, although he also knew their relationship, but the news that they broke up did not seem to be very accurate.
Hearing what Master Xu said to Zhou Musi, Zhou Fei and Xu Qingliu, let him ask, it seems that the best candidate. Zhou Fei covered his mouth and made sure again: "Are you saying let me ask?"
"Yes. Si Yue nodded, his eyes looked a little misty, making him not see so really. Thinking that Master Xu had misunderstood the relationship between him and Xu Qingliu, he didn't really want to talk about it, but when he thought of the jade shop, he didn't want their previous efforts to be in vain.
Zhou Fei nodded and decided to take this trip to the troubled waters for him. Zhou Mu Sijue stood aside and didn't speak, but in his heart he agreed with Si Yue's idea, Yuzhoudian was very competitive with them, and if they didn't want to have new ideas at this time, they might not be able to mix in Shanghai.
It's just that it doesn't seem so easy to get hungry when talking to Master Xu now, although it is difficult to start with the old man, but the two sons seem to be able to get in touch. Zhou Fei finalized this idea in his heart, and asked Zhou Mu Sijue and Si Yue to talk about the matter after a while, and let them wait for a while, he would definitely be able to handle it.
With that, he ran over and got into the crowd, and he was nowhere to be seen. The two brothers of the Xu family followed Master Xu's side, Zhou Fei ran over when he was free, and while Master Xu and others were discussing, Zhou Fei pulled Xu Qinghe and ran aside. Xu Qinghe, who hadn't reacted yet, looked at him very confused, not understanding what he meant: "If you want to pull my brother's arm, why are you pulling me?"
