Chapter 693: Warehouse

At the entrance of the sales department, a man who looked like a cadre politely opened the back door of the BMW. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yang Rui pushed open the co-pilot's door and came out, and sighed in his heart: The institutions that serve the old cadres all the year round are different, how do you know that our car is coming?

The cadres didn't seem surprised when they saw that there were two girls coming out of the back door, and Yang Rui was a young man coming out of the co-pilot, and said with a smile: "How many people came to see antiques?"

"We're here to buy calligraphy and paintings. Yang Rui paused for a moment, and then said, "I have been here before, and I asked Director Qiao Qunqiao to make an appointment." ”

The cadre laughed with a "oh ......" and said, "I know I know, I am responsible for this matter, Director Qiao told me, we deliberately added some more calligraphy and paintings, and kept waiting...... Contemptible Huang Shiguan, this ...... Comrade Yang, are there three of us in total?"

"Yes. ”

"Then go straight to the warehouse, the lobby is full of retail things, and everything prepared for you is in the warehouse. Huang Shiguan said and led the three of them around the gate, through the small streets and alleys, and towards a courtyard behind.

Fang Yanan couldn't see that he couldn't enter the sales department, worried that Yang Rui and Jing Yulan would be deceived, so he chased after him in a distrustful reporter's tone: "Why do you want to go to the warehouse, can't you buy the things in the lobby?"

"You can buy it, but the quantity may not meet Boss Yang's needs. Huang Shiguan really didn't know what to call Yang Rui. In terms of age, Yang Rui really doesn't look like an official, and other titles, Comrade Huang Shiguan is obviously not very skilled.

Fang Yanan listened to Huang Shiguan's words, and even more disbelieving, and said: "Don't think I've never been here, in your sales department, there are tens of thousands of antiques I dare not say, there must be thousands of pieces, how can there be a problem of insufficient quantity, I think you want to be shoddy, do Wenzhou shoe factory." ”

Wenzhou shoe industry has a long history, but in the early days of reform and opening up, Wenzhou shoe industry left the impression of Chinese as counterfeiting and selling, and many stores even posted "this store has no Wenzhou goods" to attract customers.

Huang Shiguan was stunned by Fang Yanan's words, couldn't figure out the way, didn't dare to offend, and said with a smile: "Leader, I'm not here to save you time, there are a lot of antiques in the sales department, but Boss Yang only wants calligraphy and painting, and he specifies that it will be a little older, and this number is not much." A while ago, we specially collected a batch of calligraphy and paintings that met Boss Yang's requirements, and stored them in the warehouse at the back, which I wanted to take you to see. Of course, if you want to look in the sales department, you can go to the sales department to look at it, and I do it casually. ”

After explaining, Huang Shiguan complained to Yang Rui again: "Mr. Yang, you know that you have been here, and our sales department is specially for old cadres. The old cadres like calligraphy and painting, are to see more, buy less, do not come to see once to buy once, occasionally buy two or three pairs are a minority, our sales department usually does not enter too many calligraphy and painting, some people come to sell calligraphy and painting, the price is a little higher, we are not charged, this time, in order to accumulate a little more for you, we have raised the purchase price, some collectors have heard, are to quickly send the painting over...... If you don't come again, our warehouse will run out of capacity and we will have to sell it at a discount. ”

Fang Yanan heard the problem at this moment and asked, "How big is your warehouse?"

Huang Shiguan smiled and said: "It's just a courtyard, a place for the Commercial Bureau." You don't know, the requirements for the storage of calligraphy and paintings are high, not too wet, not too dry, wet and damp, the picture will be yellow, dry and cracked, and not too dense...... But trouble. ”

This time it was Yang Rui's turn not to believe it, and pouted: "Your sales department is full of calligraphy and paintings." ”

"You said that the cabinets, those are put for a long time, besides, the conditions in the sales department are not bad, the houses are changed in the back, warm in winter and cool in summer, I love to sleep in it when I have nothing to do. Huang Shiguan said a few words nonsense, and said: "We didn't take the opportunity to ask for a warehouse, many calligraphy and paintings in the sales department have been moved, can you tell Director Qiao, he knows, he has to take back the warehouse." ”

Yang Rui smiled suspiciously and said, "Let's go and have a look first." ”

"Good, good. "Huang Shiguan is leading the way.

After walking about two or three hundred meters, the three of them arrived in front of a courtyard house with blue bricks and blue tiles.

This is obviously not a famous house, the interior has been renovated, the flat concrete floor has replaced the old bricks, and the whitewashed walls have replaced the previous stucco, which looks less imposing, but more practical.

"Mr. Yang, it's all in there. Huang Shiguan pushed open a door, and saw that along the surrounding walls, there were clusters of bookshelves full of calligraphy and paintings.

"It's not as dense as the sales department, but it's dense enough. Yang Rui opened a scroll of calligraphy and paintings and looked at it, and rolled it back without feeling anything.

Huang Shiguan looked at Yang Rui's expression and said, "If you have any orders, just say it." ”

"Can you buy everything here?"

"Yes, but not cheaply. Huang Shiguan peeked at Yang Rui and said: "The pricing of the sales department is cost plus profit, the calligraphy and painting here were originally increased in price, and the sales department can not make money, but it can't lose money, and it can't go through the accounts." Therefore, how much we buy at the original price, how much we sell you at the original price, you can't lower the price anymore, and if we lower the price again, we will have to lose money......"

Huang Shiguan said very carefully, they are the sales department that makes special products, what they are most afraid of is to be depressed, and it is okay to have profitable goods, anyway, it is not their own money that is pressed, and it is very embarrassing for unprofitable goods to be lowered again.

Yang Rui said noncommittally: "I chose the painting first, and then I will say, you have a price, how do I see the price." ”

"We have a roster. ”

Huang Shiguan took out a thread-bound account book and opened it, and sure enough, there were the names, dates and authors of the calligraphy and paintings, and even the prices received and the name of the previous collector.

Fang Yanan sighed twice: "This is your bottom account, right?"

"It's just a ledger. Huang Shiguan laughed twice.

Yang Rui flipped through it casually, and saw that the prices of calligraphy and paintings, from three or five yuan to thirty or fifty, and then to three or five hundred, in general, are related to the era, but they are meticulous and extremely complicated.

Fortunately, he had been prepared, and through Professor Wang Yong, he had already invited a researcher who was good at identification to help.

Wang Yong himself likes antiques, so he knows a lot of insiders. In the 80s, most of the connoisseurs worked in state units, a little better in specialized institutions such as researchers in the Forbidden City, a little bit of an archaeologist, or a certain literary scholar, it is not that there are really pearls left in the people, but there are very few, after all, according to the first ten years of reform and opening up, urban residents without formal jobs almost have difficulty surviving, and those who have the ability to play antiques do not have that mind.

Yang Rui didn't ask for the identification of leaks, for him, as long as the calligraphy and paintings in this courtyard were true, he was tantamount to picking up leaks.

Sure that he could buy it in large quantities, Yang Rui went to the small shop at the entrance of the alley to make a call, and then returned to the yard, and Fang Yanan was inquiring about the news with Huang Shiguan: "You have thousands of calligraphy and paintings here, can you pick them anywhere?"

"You were introduced by Director Qiao, let's not say what others say, your words must be as much as you want. Huang Shiguan paused for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "I remember what I said before, it seems that there are as many as there are...... Hehe, that's what I said, maybe too much, I think too much. ”

"No, as long as the thing is real, I want as much as I want. Yang Rui came in from the door and interrupted the two of them.

Huang Shiguan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly explained: "I'm also taking risks, if you don't want it, I'm really hard to explain." ”

"Then you still buy so much?" Fang Yanan asked Huang Shiguan suspiciously: "Did you raise the purchase price and eat a kickback?"

"How dare I!" Huang Shiguan hurriedly shouted: "You say that, I don't dare to bear it, I ......"

"It's okay, she just likes to talk nonsense. Yang Rui waved his hand, interrupted the words of the two again, and said to Jing Yulan, "You go in and look at the painting, such a good opportunity, there will not be many in the future." ”

"You buy it, don't we just look at it?" Fang Yanan didn't move his legs.

Yang Rui smiled and said: "I bought it to save it, it's not something you can see if you want to see it, besides, how tiring it is to make a special trip to see a painting, do you still want to study this?"

"If you buy them all, how expensive is that?" Fang Yanan was a little unimaginable.

Yang Rui has just made a wave of fame in North America, and it is the time to be complacent, and he said arrogantly: "It's not expensive." ”

"On average, a painting is fifty or sixty yuan, and a thousand paintings are fifty or sixty thousand, besides, if you buy so much, what about your family opening a museum?" Fang Yanan was born in the compound, and he still had a little concept of tens of thousands of yuan, but he couldn't imagine more.

Yang Rui smiled: "It's not that expensive." ”

"Director Huang, an average of fifty or sixty is what you said, who are you two talking nonsense?" Fang Yanan's reporter was sick.

Yang Rui and Huang Shiguan looked at each other and smiled, and there was no sound.

Jing Yulan hurriedly pulled Fang Yanan away, and whispered: "What are you looking for, Yang Rui has made money from foreign companies, and he can buy whatever he wants." ”

"I was afraid that he had spent unjust money, but now that I look at it, there may be something wrong with it. Fang Yanan pondered, his mind full of illusions and big news.
