Chapter 61: Choking
It's a coincidence, just when Ning Weimin's eyes flashed, he made an innocent look, and deliberately teased Kang Shude.
At Rong Bao Zhai's end, there were two well-dressed people talking about them.
In the director's office.
Director Song was opening Shen Zhou and Shi Tao on the table that they had received today, and showing them to Rong Baozhai's leader, Director Fang, who had just returned from a meeting at the Art Publishing House.
At the same time, Director Song was also quite embarrassed and blamed himself.
"Lao Fang, I'm sorry. Today's matter is mainly my responsibility, because I am too anxious, and the price is high. Hey, I didn't do it, it's a lot more expensive. I'll call you and see what happened......"
Director Fang looked at the two calligraphy and paintings intently, smiling and waving his hand.
"Hey, don't say that, it's inevitable that something unexpected will happen at work. Lao Song, in fact, you are right to consider the reputation of the store, otherwise it will be a big loss because of a small loss. ”
"What's more, you see, these two paintings and calligraphy are also really good, and the damage is not serious. Especially Shen Zhou and Shi Tao, they are both brilliant people in the history of art. There are not many of their works in existence, and it is even rarer to maintain such a good boutique. This price is a little higher, but it is also worth the money, and it cannot be said that it is expensive. ”
"Actually, what people said is right, he wants to give it to a person, and the price is two or three times higher. Now there are many Hong Kong businessmen in the capital, and if they find the right person, they may sell at a higher price. I'm afraid I really have to say that it is because people believe in us that they are willing to give it to us. ”
"I think this matter is like this, don't blame yourself. I'll sign the receipts for these two things again, which can be regarded as mutually recognized by the two of us. It's better to hurry up and let our people restore these two works, it's the right thing. ”
Director Song was immediately relieved.
"Then thank you, I'm relieved to have your hand to prove it to me. ”
"As for this work, it was received by Master He. In my opinion, let him take two apprentices to do it. ”
"Master He's existing task is only Xie Shichen's "Picture Scroll of the Great Snow Mountain". And it's also done seven, I think it's just right, at most I will wait for an extra month. ”
Director Fang nodded first, "Then that's it, I think it's okay." ”
then stopped Director Song, who was about to put away his calligraphy and paintings, and left.
"Old Song, don't be busy leaving, sit down, I have something important to tell you. The price of our calligraphy and painting products should be adjusted."
"That's the case, I went to a meeting today, and the company reported an unexpected situation, saying that it was the first time that our Beijing held an export commodity exhibition in the port city, and now it is being held, and the response is very good, and it is a great success. ”
"Tens of thousands of visitors come to the exhibition every day. In particular, the arts and crafts exhibits are extremely popular. The more than 100 modern and modern paintings, 200 watermarked works on wooden panels, and 1,000 sets of albums and atlases we sent. In the first three days of the exhibition, it was all sold out. ”
"The reply from the port city is too popular, especially the modern and modern famous calligraphy and paintings, the price has to be raised by 30% every day, but it is still popular, it is unimaginable. It can be seen that the external market's preference for our local calligraphy and painting is far beyond our original expectations. ”
"Therefore, considering the heat of the external market, considering the increasing number of Japanese and Hong Kong businessmen in the mainland, we think that our pricing is already a little low. Therefore, it was decided that from now on, the prices of modern and modern paintings in all art shops in our system will be uniformly adjusted, and the price will temporarily rise by two percent. Let's see how the market reacts. ”
"I'm afraid I'll have to bother you to arrange this matter. And what I mean, in fact, you might as well be bold, like some large-scale boutiques, Hong Kong businessmen's favorite auspicious and wealthy themes, Japanese businessmen's favorite Buddha statue Guanyin theme, can be raised by 30%, what do you think?"
As soon as he said this, Director Song's expression was strange.
It's red and white, and it's endlessly changing.
He opened his mouth for a long time, and his head was sweating, and the corners of his mouth trembled.
"Good...... Okay, I got it. You can rest assured, rest assured ......"
Director Fang didn't know what was wrong with Director Song, and when he heard the price adjustment, he was in such a trance.
I couldn't help but ask with concern.
"Old Song, what's wrong with you?
Director Song was rubbing his head and laughing forcefully.
"I? didn't ...... No, it's fine, it's just a little hot. Then I'll arrange it and find someone to replace the price tag. By the way, is there anything else?"
Director Song was completely polite and polite, and said it casually, but he didn't expect Director Fang to really have it.
"Hey, as soon as you say it, I remember, I have a friend...... Oh, it's the same Professor Lan who did ancient construction, you've seen it. ”
"The last time he came to me, he fell in love with Huang Binhong's "Qishan Map". Called me the night before and said I wanted it. ”
"Well, you can stop by the gallery and have someone put it away. Professor Lan will come and pick it up in two or three days at most. The price, I think we still calculate the old price at ninety-eight, and give him a nine-percent discount......"
Speaking of this, Director Fang suddenly couldn't speak.
Because in his eyes, the abnormal look just now not only appeared on Director Song's face again, but even more evil this time.
Director Song actually let out a "gurgle" and began to choke extremely violently.
The cough was red-faced, the cough was uncontrollable, and the cough was so bent over.
In the end, Director Fang couldn't stand it anymore.
He had to get up to help Director Song beat his chest and back, and poured him a glass of water.
In this way, Director Song gradually eased his breath, and confided the truth while rubbing his chest.
"Old Fang, I'm sorry, I'm out of shape......
"Hey, I'll be honest with you, in fact, the old and the young who came today, they didn't sell the paintings and left, and there was a special situation I didn't tell you. ”
"It's coming, that young man has to buy paintings. He asked me for a 10% discount, and then he used the money from the sale of paintings to buy 57 paintings and calligraphy by modern masters. ”
"It's also evil to say, that kid not only didn't blink an eye to throw money, but also asked Huang Binhong by name. As long as it is more than four feet in our store, he wants all of Huang Binhong's calligraphy and paintings. As for the "Qishan Map" you mentioned, it is also ...... among them."
Needless to say, even Director Fang was dumbfounded when he heard it.
Because to tell the truth, since the opening of Darong Bao Zhai, there has never been such a customer who buys paintings!
Director Fang said in his heart, hey, this is a strange thing, it's strange enough!
Who are these old and young people?
Buying a painting is like buying turnips and cabbage?
And just before the price increase?
Look at this cheap one, there is no such a clever way!
Still buy Huang Binhong?
Hey, it's really embarrassing to meet such a strange person.
What did he give to Professor Lan......
