In the capital, if you want to sell paintings, where can you sell them?

Then you still need to ask, of course, it is Rong Bao Zhai of Benliuli Factory.

Liulichang is a well-known ancient cultural street in the capital, located just outside the Peace Gate.

It was named after the Yuan Dynasty that had set up a kiln here to burn glazed tiles.

In the middle of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, the glazed kiln of the Yuan Dynasty was expanded into a factory, so it was called "glazed factory".

However, the real prosperity of this place was a matter of the Qing Dynasty and the Kangqian Dynasty.

In the Kangxi Dynasty, the imperial court ordered the compilation of the "Collection of Ancient and Modern Books".

In the Qianlong Dynasty, the imperial court ordered the compilation of the "Four Libraries Quanshu".

As a result, it was the task of compiling these two tomes that triggered a large number of scholars from all over the country to respond, and each brought books to Beijing.

And because of the difference between the inner city and the outer city, except for the banner clan and a small number of craftsmen, the people could only live in the outer city.

As a result, not only did the front door gradually become crowded with guild halls.

Liulichang has also become the best place for these scholars, as well as those who go to Beijing to take the exam, to read, sell, buy and exchange books.

At the same time, it also triggered the development and development of gold and stone archaeology, and drove antique dealers to open shops in Liuli Factory.

Whether it is gold and stone, ceramics, calligraphy and painting, inscriptions, ancient coins, or other industries involving elegant culture, they have all developed under this situation.

The fame of the glaze factory also started in this way.

Liuli factory has really become a trend, prosperous and prosperous, it has a history of more than 300 years, and the world has changed for more than 300 years.

Then there are naturally many well-known old names on this street.

Like Rong Bao Zhai is a very representative one.

The predecessor of Rong Bao Zhai was the Songzhu Zhai South Paper Shop, which was established in 1672.

Originally, it was just a shop that simply dealt in all kinds of paper and the four treasures of the study.

However, it is very famous for its woodblock engraving techniques and calligraphy and painting mounting and restoration techniques.

During the Qianlong period, the official paper of the inner court and the examination paper of the imperial court were specially provided by Songzhuzhai.

In the 20th year of Guangxu, Zhuang Huchen, a master in the industry, served as the store manager.

He made a series of reform measures for Shochikusai, which was riddled with debt and had a troubled business.

Among them, the decision to change the name of the store to Rong Bao Zhai and expand a variety of businesses.

So since then, Rong Bao Zhai is no longer limited to the trading of pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and the four treasures of the study, but also involved in the business of buying and selling calligraphy and painting, as well as ordering calligraphy and painting on behalf of customers.

In terms of operation, Rong Bao Zhai adheres to the tenet of "meeting friends with literature", focusing on maintaining a relationship with famous calligraphers and painters.

As a result, he gradually became a very trusted friend of calligraphers and painters, and was even regarded as the "home of calligraphers and painters".

It is precisely for this reason that at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, in order to attract customers, the old shops of Liulichang competed for famous calligraphy and paintings in front of the window, attracting people to stop and watch in the publicity activities.

Among them, Rong Bao Zhai has the most famous paintings, the most lively, and has become a scenery of Liuli Factory.

In the period of the Republic of China, two famous literati commissioned Rong Bao Zhai to print the "Beiping Notes" and "Ten Bamboo Zhai Notes" with woodblock watermarks, which made Rong Bao Zhai famous.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the management rights of Rong Bao Zhai gradually changed from private to public, and belonged to the leadership of the Art Publishing House.

Subsequently, it merged with the well-known peace painting shop in the art world, and it was in the limelight for a while.

Until this time, Rong Bao Zhai has developed into the largest store in Liulichang and the most influential.

The business content covers publishing, printing, restoration, framing, and the purchase and sale of calligraphy and paintings.

And with its exquisite traditional skills and honest management methods, it is deeply trusted and favored by customers at home and abroad.

On this street, there is only one shop that also has the right to buy and sell ancient paintings and calligraphy, and there is only one Baoguzhai directly under the Cultural Relics Bureau.

But although on the surface, Kang Shude and Ning Weimin came to Liuli Factory to sell paintings, just for the name of Rong Bao Zhai.

But it's not that simple to sell, but you can't go straight to the point.

As with the arrest of goods, the same cannot be done to save trouble.

Otherwise, the price will be 108,000 miles away, and it will be really difficult to sell good things at a cheap price.

Kangshude is a top man in this industry, not only knows how to do it, but also has scheming.

If he wants to let go of what he wants, he must first find out in advance and know it in his heart.

Like before the real Benliuli Factory, the thrift store department of Longfusi shopping mall, the thrift purchase point of Xidan, and the Yueyatang store department of Huguosi Street West Road.

The old man was not afraid of trouble, and ran separately with Ning Weimin with calligraphy and paintings.

Even on the day off, he came to Liulichang with his things and Ning Wei, it was really time to make a move, and he was not in a hurry.

I still went to Baoguzhai to inquire about the price before starting to take substantive action.

Seriously, the old man actually planned to ask the Beijing painting shop in Wangfujing.

But when he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered.

The painting shop and Rong Bao Zhai, the owner, are both affiliated to the Art Publishing House.

He was afraid that he would show the news as soon as he went, so he didn't go in.

What do you mean by leg work and mouth work?

You have to do at least that.

Secondly, when you get to the ground, you can't sell the paintings directly, because rushing is not a sale.

Rong Bao Zhai is famous, and it is a national unit.

In addition, the service attitude of all walks of life in this year is also obvious to all, and there is a certain common problem.

In such transactions, it is too easy for private individuals to be passive.

So Kangshude had to find a way to get the store to beg him, so that he could get the ideal price.

So what to do?

Actually, it's easy to do.

You can surround Wei to save Zhao and secretly Chen Cang.

When it was eleven o'clock in a few minutes, Kang Shude finally took Ning Weimin to Rong Bao Zhai.

To be honest, Rong Bao Zhai this year was actually a bit surprising to Ning Weimin.

Because its storefront is actually a simple bungalow with cement and stone walls.

It looks a bit like Soviet-style architecture, and there is not much retro style.

But the portal is large, with plaques and verandahs outside.

It is indeed more formal than other stores on this street.

Once inside, it's completely a traditional store model.

It's a glass counter that goes around the wall.

The glass counter is lined with small pieces such as brushes, ink, inkstones, and so on.

On the back of the Bogu shelf are all kinds of paper, pen holders, ink cartridges, ornaments, fans, and other antique large items.

Just the layout of the store, and these sell things.

Ning Weimin didn't have time to take a closer look for a while, his attention was almost all on the master.

Because he knows that after entering the gate of Rong Bao Zhai, this performance has just begun.

"I said, comrade, can you restore calligraphy and paintings here? I want to ask ......."

"Go inside......"

Hey, I didn't allow Conshude to finish his sentence completely.

Behind the counter selling brushes, a lean, expressionless male salesman interrupted him.

casually pointed his hand in, and he was silent.

He didn't even look up at anyone, as if someone owed him eight hundred hangings.

But I can't be picky, but I have to thank you.

Because in fact, they are treated the same everywhere and everywhere.

It's not worth it to be angry about this, then don't go out.

What's more, Kang Shude and Ning Weimin's slightly shabby clothes also played a somewhat contemptible role.

If they could dress up like a foreign guest and charter a car, maybe not so.
