Chapter 32: Wen Baozhen
Wen Baozhen!
Inside the Dongtai Antique City, a middle-aged man was already standing there waiting, and greeted Hua Borong with a smile on his face when he saw him.
"Boss Hua is here. ”
"Old Song, I've kept you waiting for a long time. ”
"Whereever, I just arrived. ”
Listening to the middle-aged man's words, Fang Ming, who was standing behind Hua Borong, smiled, the middle-aged man was obviously saying kind words, judging from the cleanliness of the cleaning in front of the door, this man had been at least more than half an hour.
"Okay old Song, don't be polite between us, this is Fang Ming, a relative of mine from afar, this time he wants to come to see your shop. ”
Hua Borong and Song Xiong exchanged a few polite words, and then introduced Fang Ming, and Song Xiong also looked at Fang Ming, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Hua Borong called him last night and said that tomorrow there would be a friend who wanted to see his store if he thought it was suitable, and he would take it down, in Song Xiong's heart, he thought that at least he was in his forties, after all, the people in stores like Kaiwen Play Store were all old.
First, because young people are not interested in these things, and secondly, because running this kind of store requires a certain amount of vision, and eyesight comes from experience, and it will take at least ten years to get started.
Now seeing Fang Ming's age, the enthusiasm on Song Xiong's face is less than half, in his mind, a young man like Fang Ming is more of a temporary interest, even if he really wants to take over his shop, I'm afraid he won't take over the treasures in his shop.
Hua Borong also noticed the change in Song Xiong's attitude, but he didn't say anything, anyway, this time he took Fang Ming to see the store, as for whether he wanted to take it down is another matter.
However, Fang Ming didn't care about the change in Song Xiong's attitude, and nodded with a smile and greeted, "Hello Boss Song." ”
"Fang Shao did a big business at a young age, it's really terrifying. ”
As a businessman, although Song Xiong said that he didn't care much about Fang Ming in his heart, he still pretended to be flattering in his words, but in his heart, he already regarded Fang Ming as a rich second generation.
Fang Ming smiled without explaining, and his eyes began to look at the door of this Wen Baozhen.
There are two large pillars in front of Wen Baozhen's door, which are carved with some dragon and phoenix patterns, and on both sides of the wooden pillars are two stone lions, which are solemn and mighty.
"This pair of stone lions should have been invited by Boss Song after he took down this shop. Fang Ming asked with a smile as if unintentionally.
Hearing Fang Ming's words, Song Xiong's face showed surprise, because he didn't expect Fang Ming to say the word "please".
Many young people nowadays don't know that for stone lions and even some Buddha beads and jade pendants, they can't be called "bought" or "brought", but can only use the word please.
At least Fang Ming's word "please" made Song Xiong's recognition of him increase a little, and he explained immediately: "Yes, this stone lion was invited by me a year ago, and it was specially sent to the temple to be consecrated at that time. ”
Fang Ming stared at the stone lion for a few moments, the corners of his mouth raised an arc and did not ask again, and then followed Song Xiong into the store.
As Hua Borong introduced, this Wenbaozhen store is not small, the entire first floor is more than 150 square meters, the depth is also 30 meters, and there is a wooden ladder leading to the second floor on the left side.
"Most of the things on the first floor are aimed at some customers and tourists, and these display cases can hold more than 500 small objects in total. ”
Song Xiong introduced and Fang Ming also observed, many of the display cabinets were already empty, but there were still some objects in some display cases, such as Buddhist beads, cultural walnuts and other small objects.
"Old Song, you don't have anything to see on this floor, so let's take us directly to the second floor. ”
Hua Borong had been paying attention to Fang Ming, and when he saw Fang Ming walking around the first floor, he spoke.
As the earliest batch of merchants in the Dongtai Antique City, Hua Borong is very clear about the doors of some shops, such as Lao Song, which has two floors, generally there will be no good things on the first floor, they are all small objects ranging from hundreds to thousands, and they are also aimed at tourists from other places or individual customers who are wandering.
The real good things are placed on the second floor, and of course the second floor is generally only for regular customers or large customers who seem to have the ability to buy.
When Hua Borong said this, Song Xiong explained with a stupid expression on his face: "Boss Hua, my small shop naturally can't be compared with your Huabao Building, but there are also a lot of good things here." ”
After speaking, Song Xiong pointed to the display cabinet where Fang Ming was currently staying and said, "These Buddha beads that Fang Shao saw are all small-leaf red sandalwood, and these Buddha beads alone cost tens of thousands. ”
Hearing Song Xiong's words, except for Hua Mingming's curious glance, Fang Ming and Hua Borong both smiled, maybe many people feel very precious when they hear red sandalwood, after all, it has the reputation of an inch of red sandalwood and an inch of gold, and it is a royal wood in ancient times.
Such a title on the body of red sandalwood is to make many people feel precious when they hear the word red sandalwood, but in fact, red sandalwood is just a general term for trees, and there are many classifications below.
Orange is orange born in Huainan, and orange is born in Huaibei.
The same is true of red sandalwood, because of the environmental impact of different origins, the red sandalwood in each place is slightly different, the best quality is naturally the Indian small leaf red sandalwood, but the Indian small leaf red sandalwood has long been acquired by the Ming Dynasty royal family, the so-called royal wood refers to the Indian small leaf red sandalwood at that time.
But even the red sandalwood in the same area is different, the royal choice of red sandalwood is naturally the best part of the selection of a piece of red sandalwood, and in comparison, some leftovers are not so precious.
As a simple example, picking a person with good grades from a class will certainly be amazing, but it is not representative of the average of the class. The same is true of red sandalwood, but not only red sandalwood, but also other so-called precious woods.
Therefore, it is not expensive for someone to spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy rosewood beads, and it is not cheap for someone to spend hundreds to buy them. Of course, those who buy fakes are not among them.
Song Xiong's red sandalwood Buddha beads here are of average quality, and the texture is messy, which is polished with some leftovers, and the cost of such a string of Buddha beads is only a few dozen yuan.
As the owner of Huabao Building, after so many years in the Dongtai antique market, Hua Borong naturally knows what is wrong with this, in fact, this is also the default unspoken rule of all shops on the entire antique street, including his Huabao Building.
The outermost ones are used to deceive those tourists and those who don't know how to do it, and dozens of small objects are sold for hundreds of thousand yuan for tourists who come out to travel now.
Seeing that Hua Borong and Fang Ming just smiled and didn't answer, Song Xiong didn't brag about anything more, and led the three of them towards the second floor.
The moment he stepped up the stairs and stepped onto the second floor, Fang Ming's eyes lit up, and Hua Borong on the side was even more stunned, "Old Song, I can't see that you have a lot of good things." ”
"Where, where, just such a little thing, how can it enter the eyes of the boss of China. ”
At this time, Lao Song was modest, Fang Ming smiled, this seems to be a characteristic of Chinese people, and he is very modest when facing things that he is proud of.
Obviously, the things on the second floor are what Song Xiong cares about, and they are also the treasures that Song Xiong is proud of. And Fang Ming was indeed attracted by a few of them.
PS: I was drunk last night, sorry, I didn't wake up until now, the update was late.
