Chapter 87: The First Man of the Sword

In the next half month, the Su family sword shop was open, and it was overcrowded all day long, not only customers who came from all over the world, but also many swordsmiths who hoped to join, and even Xu Kui was busy and complaining.

There are three swordsmiths on the list, and six swordsmiths on the list officially joined, although there are many people who have signed up, but Su Yuan has also raised the selection criteria at the same time, and now it is not the original brother begging you, but you are rushing to ask for brother!

In the end, there were thirty swordsmiths to join the Su family sword shop, most of them were masters, and Longquan was a well-known senior swordsmith.

Suddenly, the Su family sword shop became the strongest force in Longquan, far surpassing the three major families, and the brand effect rose. After all, many people themselves have market appeal, and now everyone is working together together, which is definitely the effect of one plus one greater than three.

Emi Yanagi saw the business opportunity, bought three stores in other downtown areas in one go, prepared to open a branch, and ambitiously wanted to build Sujiajian Shop into a national chain, and Longquan was the base camp.

Su Yuan looked at the little girl's ambitious state, and did not stop it, the happiest thing for a person is to be able to take his dream as a career, which he deeply understands.

He is not omnipotent, and the system can only solve the problem of technology, a hero and three gangs, since there are talents around him, he is a bastard if he is cheap.

On the contrary, the core competitiveness will always be in the hands of here, and others want to rob it is also a dream, the more money this thing, the better, even if it is lying on it and eating bank interest, isn't it?

Su Yuan instead became a hands-off shopkeeper, it was rare to be quiet for a few days, study new skills well, since he got the system, he opened his eyes every day to complete the task, and now he can finally relax for a few days.

A year is still early, and it is not possible to achieve a few words of fame overseas, and there is no specific plan for how to implement it. However, since the end of the challenge, there is one more guest in the workshop, and he must arrive every day.

Su Yuan looked at Shen Huanwen, who appeared on time every day as if he was clocking in at work, and quipped: "Brother Shen, you are also the second boss of the Shen family, don't you have a painful conscience when you are so idle every day?"

Shen Huanwen glared and scolded with a smile: "You say that I am just the second child, there is a big brother above, and a younger brother below, just that little bullshit and chagrin, it's worth wasting time?"

After speaking, he held his head high and said domineeringly: "Great craftsmen, like scientists, are free from low-level interests, how can they waste their limited lives on boring things?"

Su Yuan gave a thumbs up, but he didn't expect that the strongest swordsmith of the Shen family was actually a joke!

On the second day of the challenge, the other party came directly to the door, pulled himself to discuss the technology, and shared his experience. At first, he was still on guard, but after communicating, he found that the old man was simple-minded, so simple that he only had a sword in his eyes.

Like Xu Kui, even getting married and having children is considered a waste of time, although he is over the age of six, he strikes iron for more than eight hours a day, and he is fierce and strong.

After going back and forth, the two became inseparable friends, especially Su Yuan, if you want to say that the real level of horseback riding can't catch up with others, there is a chance to steal the teacher, don't hurry up!

Shen Huanwen looked at the ordinary sword that had been opened by the combination of rigidity and softness, and couldn't help but sigh: "It is worthy of cultivating swordsmanship, after the blessing of the best yellow mud and cold spring water, even ordinary swords can be brave and refined, it's incredible!"

Su Yuan smiled and said nothing, the consecration technique became more and more handy, but the yellow mud and cold spring water did have an effect, but they were not so strong.

Suddenly remembered something, took out a gilded invitation, handed it to Shen Huanwen, and asked, "This was sent from Hong Kong Island two days ago, do you see ......?"

"Huh, Wanjian Villa!" Shen Huanwen was stunned for a moment, opened the invitation, and said with a smile: "That old guy in Huangfujiang is really well-informed, and he deserves to be the first person to collect swords." ”

To say that this Huangfu Jiang is a great god, as long as he plays with swords, he will be ranked absolute NO1!

A top sword collector, a multinational executive director, he was already a billionaire back in the eighties of the last century. At the same time, he is also the domestic intellectual property legal counsel and the only authorized foreign wine appraiser of the world's eight major foreign wine companies.

A well-known weapons consultant, a connoisseur of Western antique watches and jewelry, and one of the players with the most cufflinks. He is also a columnist for several collection and fashion magazines, a staunch animal protector, and a regular at charity galas.

Collecting swords for 30 years, covering dozens of countries and regions in Europe, America and Asia, in 1998, the Sword Forum was established, and has now developed into the most professional ancient weapons research forum. He is the author of the book "Sword Record", which is well-known throughout Southeast Asia.

For sword collectors, there are two holy places: one is the Forbidden City, and the other is the Wanjian Villa in Huangfu River!

The two returned to the hall, drank tea and chatted, Shen Huanwen put down the invitation, and recalled: "I haven't seen Huangfujiang for ten years, and I have been to Wanjian Villa several times in my early years, and his father used to be a heat treatment and forging expert in Shenyang Knife Factory. ”

He once said that when he was in school, he was obsessed with martial arts novels like many boys, and the characters in the movie Bruce Lee, Zi Sanshiro, Jin Yong, and Gu Long inspired him to have a lot of wonderful imagination. ”

Later, when he made money, he happened to be a guest at a friend's castle in France, and the host showed him a collection of Arabic scimitars and other swords. ”

Since then, he has been out of control and has embarked on the road of sword collection. At first, I liked the beautiful and exquisite craftsmanship of swords, and then I liked Western swords and Japanese samurai swords. Twenty years ago, he fell in love with traditional swords, not only because of his intimacy with his own culture, but also because of his shrewdness and competitiveness in collecting. ”

Su Yuan was stunned, what does this mean?

Shen Huanwen took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "At that time, Western and katana swords were popular in foreign antique stores, and traditional swords were very cheap, but in China, they were even more niche and out-of-the-way, and basically no one collected those things that looked rusty, let alone any research works. ”

"I still remember when I went to the countryside seventeen or eighteen years ago, the peasants would often pick up a large bundle of rusty unearthed swords, and they didn't even need to pick them up with their hands, but just pulled out a bunch of them with their feet and said they wanted them. ”

"On average, it's only a dozen yuan a piece, and it's all ancient swords of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and now when you go there to buy something, the price given by the farmers is almost the same as the bid on the Sotheby's auction house, often tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands. ”

Shen Huanwen sighed: "I admire Huangfu Jiang's obsession with sword collection, no worse than our sword forgers. More than ten years ago, when I was the most frenzied, I traveled all over the cultural relics stores and thrift markets in the north and south of the country, and handled hundreds of swords every month. ”

"I once used a round-the-world flight to carry out a collection operation, and about a week, I set off from Guangzhou and traveled around the United States-Germany-Malaysia-Hong Kong Island-Guangzhou to acquire nine ancient swords, including a long-cherished Persian water-patterned Damascus long blade and a mid-Ming Dynasty ancient sword. ”

"Decades of accumulation, in the circle has formed a strong information network, as long as the world's major antique market traditional sword trading, can be known within 24 hours, regardless of the quality or the way, clear. ”

Later, he simply renamed his villa Wanjian Villa, imitating the scene of the ancient dragon novel, and now the collection is comparable to any national museum in the world, and it also has the largest number of Qing Dynasty royal swords except the Palace Museum. ”

Su Yuan nodded, he was also thunderous about Huangfu Jiang, collecting was only one aspect, and the most admirable thing was the research and sorting of swords.

In particular, the sword record is the earliest and most comprehensive sword book in China, just like Wang Shixiang's contribution to Ming-style furniture, and is one of Su Yuan's enlightenment teachers.
