Chapter 208: Loss of Grace

Huo Xin would never have thought that her well-designed and attentive performance was completely clever but mistaken by cleverness.

Not only did it not escape Ning Weimin's eyes, but it was self-defeating, which greatly aroused Ning Weimin's disgust and vigilance.

made Ning Weimin more and more estranged from her in his heart.

Of course, maybe she was wrong from the beginning, because she just didn't understand a truth.

On the emotional battlefield, men are hunters, and they are the ones who take the initiative, which is nature.

What happens if a hunter is chased by his prey?

Then the hunter will not be happy, but will feel pressure and panic.

Therefore, a smart woman should never chase a man backwards, but should know how to flirt with a man.

Provoke a man who can't help but chase, and take the initiative to chase it.

Even if you are not a smart woman, as long as you wait steadfastly.

With more daily contact, you may be able to inadvertently get to that point in a man's heart, and the effect is far better than painstaking pursuit.

This is indeed true.

Because even Ning Weimin himself didn't expect that there would be such a time soon.

He had to chase Huo Xin behind his buttocks, and he was really infinitely grateful to her, almost to the point where he felt that it was difficult for him to reciprocate.

What's going on?

This has to be said when it comes to tourist shops and cultural toys and paintings.

Realistically speaking, the concept of tourism commodities in China has never existed.

Before liberation, because we had no restrictions on the lives of foreigners.

Foreigners who come to the land of China and want to buy local products and supplies can achieve their goals as long as they spend money.

At the same time, our merchants have always regarded high-end goods such as antiques, tea, silk, and embroidery as ordinary transactions.

Therefore, no one has ever distinguished this special market demand.

Even after the reform and opening up, even in 1979, the "great man" issued the Huangshan Speech, which clearly called for the vigorous development of the tourism industry and the promotion of the enrichment and sales of tourism commodities.

However, in the long-ingrained old mode of thinking, it is difficult for the overall business mode of the tourism industry to break through the box and undergo any fundamental changes for a while.

The relevant departments of the tourism industry still define the operation of tourism commodities only in the "special store" model of receiving foreign guests.

The tourist shops sell modern handicrafts with characteristics that they think foreign guests will enjoy.

For example, the tableware and tea sets in Jingdezhen, the jade and bracelets in the jade factory, the bonsai in the material factory, as well as silk, paper fans, cloisonne, and the four treasures of the study.

Their so-called response to the call above is nothing more than opening a few more such stores.

So for Ning Weimin, such a store is not the same, and the selling point of the goods is just good workmanship.

It's really nothing to look at, and it's not worth buying.

I think that at the beginning, he accompanied Lan Lan to visit Beihai and the Forbidden City a few times, and he had already visited enough.

Nowadays, although he is based in Saigong, he has no interest in these tourist shops in the Temple of Heaven Park, whether he is busy or not.

I've never been to the shop yet.

But it's a coincidence, just two days after Zhang Shihui asked Ning Weimin for a drink, Song Huagui called Ning Weimin.

She said that in two days she would accompany some guests of the French embassy to visit the showroom of Sai Palace.

Let Ning Weimin prepare for the reception.

Therefore, on the same day, after completing the reception task of the Zhai Palace, Ning Weimin and Huo Xin naturally had to continue to accompany these French people to visit the Temple of Heaven's New Year's Hall and the Echo Wall, and even accompany these people to visit the store.

In this way, in helping to inquire, it was completely passive, and Ning Weimin found that the handicraft store in the Temple of Heaven was a little different.

Because there are so many shops that are actually selling real things.

Whether it is modern and modern famous calligraphy and painting, the three treasures of printing stones, or the official kiln porcelain of the middle and late Qing Dynasty that is only allowed to be exported.

And compared with the things sold in the glass factory, the price is one or two percent cheaper.

What's going on?

Ning Weimin inquired carefully, and almost didn't slap himself on the spot, and he almost regretted it.

These shops selling real things are as full of outsiders as Pierre Carton's company's showroom.

Originally, they were all time-honored brands that belonged to the cultural relics store system, namely Guanfu Zhai, Moyuan Pavilion, Yueyatang, Yunyuzhai and Zhenhuan Pavilion.

In order to cooperate with the renovation and renovation project of Liulichang Street by the Cultural Relics Bureau, it was moved to the Temple of Heaven Park on February 7, 1980, and rented a house here for temporary office.

After the renovation project is completed, these shops will be moved back to Liulichang.

Needless to say, relying only on tourists from the Temple of Heaven to do business is naturally not as good as the street of Liulichang.

Because although the number of people is about the same, the purpose is much different.

However, the sales tasks arranged by the superiors must be completed as much as possible.

As a result, these time-honored brands, whose trading has plummeted, consciously lowered their prices in order to maintain their trading.

Especially for those who sell porcelain, it is useless to just point to the export sales, and they must also open an opening for the domestic sales.

Then think about it, what a big leak this is for Ning Weimin, and what a painful lesson?

It can only be said that there are no absolutes in the world.

Really smart people want not to miss out on major opportunities.

You can't think in a stereotype about anything, and you can't have prejudices.

In this way, after dealing with the foreigners, Ning Weimin did not go to the glass factory.

He found a treasure trove that no one touched, and he came to check it almost every day whenever he had time.

If you come and don't leave, it's just unforgettable.

In order to get the goods at a low price, he used all his tricks to set up magnetism with the clerks of these stores.

Tell jokes, ask for cigarettes, ask for tea, please drink snacks.

Isn't it easy for a person like him who can speak well and be generous to make friends?

So soon he got his wish.

waited for a chat to get acquainted, and people actually gave him a discount of nearly seven percent.

Good guy, Ning Weimin is so beautiful, so he started the explosive buying mode.

Needless to say, his first choice is, of course, the modern calligraphy and painting of famous artists.

Because in addition to being easy to preserve, the start time of calligraphy and painting appreciation is the earliest, and the appreciation space is also the largest.

As a result, after a long time, Huo Xin also discovered Ning Weimin's hobby.

Because he bought calligraphy and paintings, he had to take them back to the office.

And it will be hung on the wall, spread out on the table, and admired for a long time.

I don't even care about work, and I don't bother to pay attention to others.

In Huo Xin's view, this is of course intolerable, and at the same time it is an inexplicable obsession.

Like once, she saw Ning Weimin actually buy eight paintings at a time, and as soon as she came back, she carefully looked at them one by one.

Finally, I couldn't bear it anymore and asked him directly.

"No, how do you buy these things? Are you okay? What's so good about these calligraphy and paintings?"

Ning Weimin was only admiring his new collection, and he didn't hear Huo Xin's words at all.

Huo Xin was a little anxious, "Hey, I'm talking to you? Do you hear that? ”

And as soon as her temper came, she snatched the painting in her hand and rolled it up, just like when she grabbed the newspaper.

This Ning Weimin is not distressed?

I was a little anxious on the spot.

Although I didn't dare to rob it, I scolded it for the first time.

"Hey, what are you doing? You're sick, aren't you looking for me to turn your face with you! I hate your virtue the most! I'm going to grab things at every turn!"

Seeing that Ning Weimin was really popular, Huo Xin, who consciously took care of the loss, was also a little scared.

So while returning the painting, he couldn't help but mumble aggrievedly.

"Cut, it's so stingy! What's there? Isn't it just a broken painting, it's worth your baby?"

Ning Weimin looked at the painting distressedly, and his mouth was still counting to death.

"What do you know? This is culture! If nothing else, I bought it with more than 100 foreign exchange coupons. Do you know what's the most terrible? Ignorance is the most terrible ......."

Unexpectedly, although Huo Xin was moved, he put the charge on his head.

"Ah, it's so expensive? Then you've bought these paintings with almost all your salary this month, aren't you? Aren't you the big wronged! Ignorance is really terrible. ”

"No, you ......"

"Don't worry, I also mean well, I just want to tell you that the things you buy are themselves twenty or thirty dollars. Why are you buying it here, it's such a loss......"

Ning Weimin was simply by Huo Xin.

"This is the real thing! Li Keran, do you understand? Still twenty or thirty? Fifty, you sell me, how much I want to ...... as much as I want?"

What he didn't expect was that Huo Xin was actually more than him, covering his mouth and enjoying himself for a long time.

"Of course I know, what about Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong, and Zhang Daqian?"

"I say twenty or thirty is twenty or thirty. If you don't believe me, I'll buy it for you. Let's go now, even if I apologize to you. ”

"As long as ...... As long as you don't be so fierce in the future, I'll do it. ”

Ning Weimin looked at Huo Xin in a daze for a long time, and felt that she was indeed not joking, so he suddenly remembered the truth that you can't have prejudices about people and things.

It suddenly seemed embarrassing.

"This ...... I'm sorry, I'm ...... This...... I did lose my grace just now......"
