Chapter 53: The Teahouse Deal
"It doesn't matter, you just follow what I said, after you go, as long as the other party quotes, you say it is low, and the other party will definitely give you a slight increase, as long as you say that it is low three times, the other party will quote again at about 1.5 million and you can sell." ”
Wu Tang was very surprised after hearing this, and asked, "It's that simple?"
"It's as simple as that. Sun Hancheng gave him a very positive answer.
"Well, I'll do it. After Wu Tang weighed the pros and cons, he happily agreed.
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Sun Hancheng and Wu Tang came to the door of the Heavenly Habitat.
Yanjing's Tianrenju is on a very famous local pedestrian street, this street is not only one of the best in Yanjing, but also very famous in the country, and it is a famous gold street in Yanjing.
Tianrenju and several other well-known domestic antique shops are on this street, and occupy a very conspicuous position on the street.
The two of them sat down in the teahouse opposite the Heavenly Habitat and said the following specific information and answers to some simple questions.
There are not many teahouses in the north, most of them are put together with some chess and card rooms and the like, but this is not the case in Yanjing, where the teahouses in Yanjing are quite distinctive, and there will be music performances such as Beijing Pingbang Song or cross talk storytelling.
This pair of immortal buildings is a hundred years old shop, many opera masters have performed in this teahouse, and the opposite of the heavenly habitat seems to complement this, in fact, I don't know how much money the owner of the heavenly habitat spent in order to buy the opposite store.
Sun Hancheng sat at the window on the second floor, watching Wu Tang enter the Heavenly Habitat.
As for why Wu Tang was allowed to go on this trip, it was out of Sun Hancheng's intuition, and his intuition told him that it was best not to expose himself first, just when this Wu Tang hit his own muzzle, since he wanted to help him do something, what else could he let him do, he couldn't let him learn to call a dog to crawl, and he should let him do it selling paintings.
Wu Tang is going to do this, Sun Hancheng is still very relieved, first of all, Wu Tang will not have stage fright, if you find an ordinary person who is estimated to hear that it is worth one million, it is estimated that the heartbeat will be accelerated, and even those with poor psychological quality will be frightened by the people of heaven and earth who live in heaven and earth casually, but it doesn't matter if Wu Tang is concerned, how to say that Wu Tang is also a person who has seen the world.
Drinking tea in the teahouse, the old Yanjing people like to drink jasmine tea very much, and Sun Hancheng also followed the customs, drinking tea and waiting for the return of selling paintings.
After a while, a few people came up from downstairs and sat at a table next to them, and it was obvious from the style of dressing and gestures that they were not ordinary people.
What impressed Sun Hancheng the most was a gray-haired man about sixty years old, this person was obviously an excellent tutor, especially in the etiquette of receiving people and treating things, and even the young man who delivered tea in the teahouse was very respectful, and there was no condescending appearance.
But a sturdy man beside him was a lot rude, and he was cold to everyone, which was in great contrast with the old man on the side.
The people at the table were obviously divided into two groups, one group was represented by the old man and the rude man, and in addition to them, there was also a petite woman who sat with her back to Sun Hancheng and couldn't see her face clearly.
The old man was wearing a black suit, his body was straight and full of manly style, and he didn't feel hot in this warm weather.
The speech is standard Mandarin, but after talking to the other party a lot, I heard that many words in the words are not standard, and from the intonation, I heard that this middle-aged group turned out to be a few island people.
The man is in his forties and elegant and steady, while the woman is about thirty years old, plump and delicate, and she also shows the etiquette of treating people and things between her words.
Sun Hancheng eavesdropped on a few people while drinking tea and had nothing to do, obviously they were here to talk about business, the middle-aged man was polite to a few island people, first introduced the history of the Xianlou teahouse, and then introduced the history of the street outside the window, you can hear that the middle-aged man's knowledge is mixed.
The woman began to order a pot of Longjing for several island people, but after a few small talks, she heard that the girl from the island country was inflamed in her mouth because she was not used to eating food after arriving in China, so the woman immediately ordered a pot of old white tea with the function of reducing inflammation and removing fire, which can be regarded as showing the friendship of the landlord.
From these points, it can be seen that this man and woman are very attentive to the guests of this island country, but even so, the sturdy man of the island country has always had a bad face and looks high.
After chatting, they talked about the deal they were going to make, and the sturdy man said: "You people in the Jinshi Pavilion are really troublesome, isn't it just a painting and calligraphy work, you just say how much money is on the line, but you want to exchange paintings for paintings, it's really troublesome." ”
The middle-aged man sitting on the opposite side said with a smile: "Hashida-kun, it's not that I don't want to do this, it's just that this "Mirror Lake Pisces Picture" is a painting that our chairman likes very much. ”
Sun Hancheng was stunned after listening to it, although he had not heard of this "Mirror Lake Pisces Picture", but he still knew Gu Bin of the Ming Dynasty, that was a very famous painter in the history of the Ming Dynasty, known as the double masterpiece of landscape painting, learning to paint landscape paintings will copy Gu Bin's landscape, one of his paintings on the market now must be worth a lot of money.
However, the fact that the island people want to exchange such a painting for that "Mirror Lake Pisces" is enough to show that the value of the two paintings is roughly the same, and this "Mirror Lake Pisces Picture" is certainly not so simple.
The person called Hashida still didn't have a good face, and said in a displeased voice: "Then don't talk nonsense, take out the things and take a look." ”
Since the two parties have come to this point, there is nothing to say, and each side took out their own calligraphy and paintings from their bags.
Don't mention the surprise in Sun Hancheng's heart, he never thought that he could see Gu Bin's paintings when he was sitting here drinking tea, he was really lucky, and it also showed that this Yanjing deserved to be the capital, and there were indeed many rich people.
The two of them each took out their paintings and wanted to put them on the table, but it was very inconvenient to have a cup of tea on the table.
At this time, Sun Hancheng was full of vision, stood up and said, "The two of you can put it on this table, and my table is clean." As he spoke, Sun Hancheng picked up the teapot and bowl in front of him, and he drank the tea carefully, so there were no water stains on the table.
The middle-aged man smiled at Sun Hancheng and thanked him, and then placed the painting on Sun Hancheng's table with the woman.
The two tables were very close to each other, so it seemed relatively convenient, and the middle-aged man unfolded his painting, revealing the true face of the painting.
This "Mirror Lake Pisces Picture" caught Sun Hancheng's eyes, and he was immediately surprised in his heart, although he didn't look closely, but this painting had already attracted him deeply.
This is a painting of exquisite fine brushwork, on the calm surface of the lake, there are two fish jumping out of the water, staggered on the top of the picture, the water surface because of the reason for the fish jumping, a ripple, the whole picture of movement and stillness complement each other.
This painting style is a kind of Chinese painting, but it also borrows some Western painting techniques, but there is no conflict at all, which is really amazing.
Sun Hancheng can see at a glance that this is the style of island painting, he is keen on painting, so he has also copied the style of many island paintings, and a little recognition is determined that this is a painting by Cang Benjian, a great painter of modern island countries.
In his later years, he combined Chinese painting with Western oil painting and appeared his own painting style, which had a profound impact on the painting world of the island country.
The people of the island country respect this very much, and the price is even higher, which is why you can exchange a painting of Gu Bin in the Ming Dynasty.
Originally, I thought that Gu Bin's painting was priceless, but now it is really hard to say who is higher and who is lower in value between the two.
Sun Hancheng walked to the table next to him again to look at the painting of Gu Bin.
Although he lost his seat, he had the capital to look at the paintings, and he even lent you the seats and tables, so he couldn't even look at the paintings.
This painting of Gu Bin's "Landscape of the Grass Hall" has also been opened, this painting is to use the method of splashing ink to paint the mountains and rivers, while the nearby wilderness grass hall is elegant, as if in the clouds and mist, this is exactly the style of Gu Bin's painting.
At this time, I heard Nahashida say to the gentle old man beside him: "Yamamoto-kun, you can go and take a look, you must look carefully." ”
The old man got up slowly, bent down and nodded slightly, and the woman beside him, who had not spoken all this time, also stood up.
Just now, Sun Hancheng's eyes were all focused on this Gu Bin's painting, and only then did the woman get up and notice his appearance, and she couldn't help but be surprised.
This woman can be called slender, with long hair hanging down her shoulders, and Qi bangs in front of her, with delicate facial features in her goose egg face, giving people the feeling of being clean at first glance, her face is clean, her temperament is clean, and she gives people a very special feeling.
The girl obviously also saw Sun Hancheng's demeanor, but she seemed to have been used to everyone's gaze on her, so she didn't care.
Turning around and following the old man, he walked to the "Mirror Lake Pisces Picture" on the table next to him.
And the middle-aged man walked towards Gu Bin's "Grass Hall Landscape" here, and the middle-aged man saw that Sun Hancheng was also looking at the painting, and asked with a smile: "Brother, you also like Chinese painting?"
Sun Hancheng also said with a smile: "Yes, I've liked it since I was a child." ”
After finishing speaking, he remembered something, and asked with some doubts: "Sir, I think that "Mirror Lake Pisces Picture" is a very good painting, why do you want to change it?"
