Go inside, go inside.

Kang Shude and Ning Weimin turned right in the direction pointed out by the salesman and found that it was bigger inside.

In turn, there are rooms of different business categories such as framing room, restoration room, wood-board watermark, printing and publishing, and gallery.

There is also a reception room with a plaque that reads "Home of Calligraphers and Painters."

But Ning Weimin was the same as when he stayed in the outermost business hall just now.

I didn't have time to take a few more looks, so I followed Kangshude into the house to find the restorer.

I really have to say that the attitude of several masters in this house is much better than outside.

As soon as they entered the house, a master in his fifties temporarily put down what he was doing and took the initiative to come over to inquire about the situation.

This is about the difference between older and younger, or simply the difference between professional technical personnel and ordinary people.

Anyway, the gap in quality is not small.

Kang Shude had nothing to twist, seeing that this person was very enthusiastic, he quickly asked Ning Weimin to put down his things and unfold the calligraphy and painting.

What is an expert?

When the master looked at it, he showed an attitude similar to that of Kangshude when he saw these two calligraphy and paintings.

Sighing.

"Old man, these two calligraphy and paintings of yours are really good, but unfortunately they are not well kept, and they are all rotten. ”

"Look at this stone Tao, there is a treasure of light, but this is all hurt. This picture of Shen Zhou is also a little decayed, and there is even more frost in the back. ”

"It's a good thing you're here, and if we delay for a few more years, I'm afraid these two things will be ruined. ”

Kang Shude also sighed, looking pained and regretful.

"Yes, yes, why else would I have come? It's hundreds of years old, and it's a masterpiece, so don't let him destroy me. Thank you so much. ”

"No, no, no. Don't worry too much about it. ”

When the master heard this, he hurriedly spoke of relief.

"Our store's restoration technology is second to none in China, and it can be done on silk and paper, and the process is complete. Countless badly damaged and endangered art treasures have been rescued. More serious than this, can be repaired as the old. ”

"Like a few years ago, a pair of Zheng Banqiao's ink bamboos were almost crumbs when they were sent, and we spent eight months to complete them. ”

"You have to say that you are in time. Now the rescue, the problem is not big, it can be done in three or two months at most. All you have to do is leave it to us, and you're good to go. ”

Kang Shude hurriedly nodded, "That's right, it's a century-old shop, it's famous, and it's well-known." I can afford to wait for this time, and I understand the truth of Seiko's meticulous work. It's just ...... price."

The old master heard the subtext of Kang Shude's last sentence, which was not difficult for him to understand.

After all, Kang Shude and Ning Weimin's clothes were so old that they were washed white, and they looked like they were not rich.

On the contrary, he felt that it was not easy to remember the people who were repairing calligraphy and paintings in this situation.

So he answered.

"Well, don't worry, we operate in good faith, and we can't overcharge you. I'll do the math for you. ”

In a professional attitude, he compared the two calligraphy and paintings that were unfolded, took the pen and paper and began to meticulously count and calculate.

That's from big to small, one by one, one by one, one by one.

It took seven or eight minutes to get the numbers, and then he took the list and showed it to Kanshude.

"Look, old man, we have to rinse it, tear it off, and reframe it. As for this painting, it also has to be supplemented and full color. It's going to come together, and that's the final price. The scroll was worth one hundred and twenty-two dollars. This scroll costs seventy-six dollars......"

To be honest, this is about the price of 200 yuan, which is really not much moisture.

But even so, Kangshude still felt as if he had been stabbed, and immediately cried out in pain.

"Ouch, why is it so expensive, can't you be cheaper?"

The old master is a little embarrassed, and it's really a bit difficult now.

Ke frowned, glanced at the raw edges on the corners of Kangshude's clothes, and the handle of the artificial leather bag wrapped in adhesive tape, but still gave way.

"This ...... If you're too expensive, I'll give you another discount, and it's one hundred and eighteen. Do you think it's okay?"

But that wasn't enough to satisfy Conjure.

That's not what he wants.

"That's expensive, too! That's half a year's salary! Can we ...... A hundred?"

"Ouch! that's not a good price......

The old master couldn't help but smile bitterly, and couldn't help but complain of grievances.

"Sir, we are not only a state-run store, but also a century-old brand name, and the price is clearly marked, so it is impossible to confuse you. ”

"Especially in the restoration and framing business, we are in line with the purpose of serving the people, focusing on the rescue of calligraphy and paintings. The price was originally not high, so there was basically no room for negotiation. ”

"I understand that it is not easy for you to come all the way, and I also pity these two paintings and calligraphy for you, so I gave you a nine-percent discount according to the treatment of old customers. If you're not satisfied with the price anymore, there's nothing I can do about it. ”

"Besides, sir, I didn't tell you all about it just now, this repair is a delicate work that takes up time and labor. ”

"Don't say anything else, just this is the old process. We have to use our fingers every day to peel off little by little like rubbing mud, and we can't finish it in 20 days. It's the easiest. ”

"To do your job, we have to occupy three people, and one master and two apprentices will be busy for at least two months. You're still too expensive, hey, let me say something......

What is said in this is not only sincere, but also contains the bitterness that some practitioners are not understood.

Even Kang Shude, who was deliberately embarrassed, was a little moved by the master.

But the problem is that he already had a plan in his heart, and he deliberately collapsed the matter.

If he doesn't force people to the point where he can't do anything, it's not easy to move on to the next step.

So in order not to fall short, he could only harden his heart and finish this set of ecstasy palms.

"You're right. I didn't say your price was fair, did I? But the problem is that I ...... I ...... in my hand."

"I'll tell you the truth, I made up a hundred before I came, I really didn't expect to spend so much money for these two things. ”

"Otherwise, do you think it's okay? That's the price, I agree. But I can't give you all the money at once. Give a hundred first. For the rest, we can only pay it off later. ”

Hey, okay.

Kang Shude agreed to this price, but he proposed additional conditions, which the master would never be able to accept.

What else can the master do?

He had no right to call the shots at all for such a request, and wiped his sweaty head and glasses with a wry smile.

There is only one last resort left, to ask the superior leader.

In fact, where did the master know, the bargaining just now was all a false shot.

But this result is exactly what Kanshud really wants.

How?

Because the leaders of Rong Bao Zhai are not only powerful, knowledgeable, educated, but also have more brains than ordinary workers.

Kangshude is right, this matter is reported in the past, there are only two possibilities.

Either people don't like these two things and send them away.

Either...... I'm afraid that the leader put forward an acquisition proposal, hoping to solve it in disguise, and took the initiative to drill into the set he had set.

Just when the master asked Kang Shude to wait here, he went to the stall to invite someone.

Ning Weimin also lowered his head and snickered himself.

And with admiration, I praised the master in my heart.

Because of Kangshude's intentions, others don't know, but he knows.

Even at this point, he also cleared up a doubt in his heart by the way.

Before going out this morning, he suggested that the old man should dress decently, for fear that people would lower the price.

But Kangshude said no, and told him that being poor also has the benefits of being poor, and selling paintings is also divided into poor and rich.

And if he wants to ask in detail, the master just won't say it.

Later, he pondered all the way, but he didn't figure out a name.

It wasn't until now that I really understood the old man's intentions.

No, only by making a poor appearance can this move be seamless.

Needless to say, let's honestly watch Master's performance.

Just this old man, evil ideas are endless, and they suit his spleen and stomach too much!

Otherwise, it's not like a family doesn't enter the door.

That's fate.
