Chapter 61: The Peak Turns Around
Then, Tang Feng began to explain to Lin Muyu the reason for the leakage, because the end stone has been a precious inkstone since ancient times, all dynasties have taken strict control measures, and the pit is closed after the official mining, since the Tang and Song dynasties, there are armies dedicated to guarding the pit, but the people have been difficult to ban, but the output is not much.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, official thieves began to prevail, the most famous is the Ming Dynasty Liangguang Governor Xiong Wencan, he did not hesitate to destroy the stone pit veins and logged down, at this time the end stone produced is called "bear pit", although there is no city management in ancient times can not stop Xiong Wencan's barbaric construction, but the "bear pit" output of the end stone quality is excellent.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Liangguang, carried out large-scale mining again, and the end stone produced at this time became "Zhang Keng", Zhang Zhidong advocated civilized construction, but due to the exhaustion of resources, the quality of the end stone at this time was not as good as before, and the value of the end inkstone produced was far less than that of "Bear Pit".
Tang Feng said: "Most of the authentic inkstones we see on the market now belong to the 'Zhangkeng' inkstone, and the existence of the 'Xiongkeng' inkstone is very small, and its value is certainly not comparable to that of 'Zhangkeng'." ”
Lin Muyu nodded and said: "Well, there are indeed sayings of 'Zhang Keng' and 'Xiong Keng', but it is difficult to distinguish between these two kinds of inkstones, how do you see it?"
Although the matter of the store has made Tang Feng a little annoyed recently, business is not his area of expertise, once he returns to the antique aspect
He's like a fish in water. Tang Feng can distinguish "Zhang Keng" and "Xiong Keng" from the subtle differences in color and texture. However, he is not an authoritative body, and his judgment can only be a personal opinion, which is not recognized and accepted by the market, so in addition to his own approval, he also needs to look for evidence that convinces others. Fortunately, it is not impossible to prove that this inkstone is a "bear pit", because this inkstone has the knowledge of "Gusu Taoist". Tang Feng said: "This Gusu Taoist is Gu Delin, a famous inkstone maker in Suzhou in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, a Taoist, is his name, this person is not Duanxi Laokeng Jiashi refused to go under the knife." ”
Hearing Tang Feng mention "Gusu Daoren", Lin Muyu carefully observed the style at the bottom of this square inkstone, and she said: "However, the regular script of these four characters is not necessarily very exquisite?"
Tang Feng said: "It is precisely because it is not exquisite that it is difficult to imitate. "Ancient monks and Taoists were not as uneducated as modern monks, and their cultural attainments were very high. Throughout the ages, there have been countless monks who made inkstones, and there were many famous inkstones who made inkstones in the name of Taoists, and there were countless people who made forgeries in the name of Taoists. Gu Delin is one of the famous inkstone makers of the Taoist people, and the ancient book uses the words "random engraving, but also will be caused" to describe his inkstone level. But such a famous person, his cultural level is not high, and he has not even obtained a Xiucai diploma, and according to the current standards, he can basically be classified as illiterate. If you don't have culture, you can't write well, and if you don't write well, you can't keep a good money, so his money is not exquisite at all, and it is easy to be confused with the money of ordinary inkstones, which may be the reason why the boss of the "confidant of the sea memory" did not see the true value of this ancient inkstone.
Lin Muyu completely understood this time that Xiongkeng was from the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Keng was from the late Qing Dynasty, and Gu Delin was from the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and the Duan Yan he made would definitely not be Zhang Keng. She turned her eyes to look at Tang Feng, who was overjoyed beside her, and said with a smile: "Look at you, it won't be like this if you pick up a big leak." ”
Tang Feng shook his head, even if it is Xiongkeng Duanyan, the market price is only five or six hundred thousand, and the income it can bring to Tang Feng is far inferior to that piece of Tianhuangshi, he said: "This is not a big leak, and I am not happy because of the leak." ”
Lin Muyu took Tang Feng's hand and said, "You found a solution to the store through this leak, didn't you?"
Tang Feng said: "It's not that a solution has been found, but that the confidence that a solution has been found." "Tang Feng just figured out one thing, for many people, it is a very difficult thing to pick up leaks, but for Tang Feng, it is very easy, because he is good at antique identification. Similarly, because he is not good at business, he will find it difficult to find a storefront, but the truth is that it is far easier to find a storefront than to pick up leaks. What makes Tang Feng feel helpless is not to find the store itself, but to be unsure of unfamiliar areas, because without certainty, Tang Feng will complicate simple things. Fortunately, now Tang Feng has figured it out, as long as he uses his calm thinking when picking up leaks to find a storefront, everything can be solved.
The city is still moving at a hurried pace, with a taxi driver who has just delivered a customer to his destination welcoming a new customer, a successful person who has signed a contract waving his fist to the sky, and a scammer who has just returned home to meet a new target, tirelessly selling his Swiss-made Rolex watch. In this seemingly unattainable city, everyone is tenaciously surviving in their own way, either "noble" or "lowly", and those impossible tasks become reality step by step in their repeated back and forth. Throughout the afternoon, Tang Feng and Lin Muyu were running non-stop, although they still hadn't found a suitable store, but Tang Feng, who had regained his confidence, no longer thought it was a difficult thing, because he knew that as long as he acted, he had a chance to succeed.
In the evening, Tang Feng and Lin Muyu returned home together, and after a short rest, Lin Muyu said, "I'll cook." ”
Tang Feng got up and said, "I'll help you." ”
"No. Lin Muyu pressed Tang Feng on the sofa and said, "I'll be alone." ”
Not long after Lin Muyu walked into the kitchen, Tang Feng's phone rang, he took out his mobile phone, it was Liu Yue calling, he said, "Miss Liu, hello." ”
Liu Yue on the other end of the phone asked, "Tang Feng, how is your stone business doing?"
Tang Feng said: "Don't mention it, I haven't found a store yet." ”
Liu Yue smiled and said, "That's great." ”
"You won't. Tang Feng said angrily: "You called here just to gloat?"
"You don't have to be kind enough to be a donkey's liver and lungs. Liu Yue said: "I've been helping you keep an eye on it, hey, I saw a store in Xidan, it's very good, are you interested?"
Tang Feng was excited as soon as he heard the storefront, and he asked, "Of course I'm interested, if I can win it, I want to thank you well." ”
"Huh. Liu Yue smiled and said, "Then how can you thank me, tell me about it?"
Tang Feng said seriously: "You can choose, as long as I can bear it, there is no problem." ”
"I'm kidding you. Liu Yue said, "Are you free now? There happens to be someone over there." ”
Tang Feng immediately said: "Of course you are free, where are you?" After Liu Yue reported the address, Tang Feng hung up the phone, he ran into the kitchen and said to Lin Muyu: "Muyu, I want to go out." ”
Lin Muyu turned around and asked him, "Do you want me to send you there?"
Tang Feng gently hugged her waist, kissed her on the mouth, and said, "No need, there are still vegetables burning in the pot, I'll be back soon." ”
Lin Muyu thought about it, she nodded and said, "Then you can go." ”
Xidan is a commercial circle with the theme of fashion, taste and leisure, and is a well-known shopping and consumption place for Beijing residents, with a large flow of people, which is very suitable for Tang style to open a store.
When Tang Feng rushed to the place where he had made an appointment with Liu Yue, Liu Yue had not yet arrived, he looked around and nodded, the location here is good, but I don't know how expensive the rent is. At this time, a Chrysler Wrangler stopped beside Tang Feng, and the driver was Liu Yue, who was wearing sunglasses, she took off her glasses and got out of the car and said to Tang Feng: "Have you waited for a long time?"
Tang Feng said: "I just came, where is the place you said?"
Liu Yue pointed to a storefront across the street and said, "It's over there." ”
