Chen Guan was unwilling to reveal the secret that he was the owner of Bao Puzhai in front of the camera, so he sat on the viewing platform and left the venue last.

As soon as the ceremony ended, Chen Guan suddenly found himself an idler.

Because there is an organizing committee, because the organizing committee is Hu Ming and Yu Bai in charge, because Hu Ming and Yu Bai know that Chen Guan has a lot of things, they don't expect him to help much, everything is arranged carefully and meticulously, and there is no need for Chen Guan to interfere!

Chen Guan, who became an idler, went around in Pu Zhai, and saw that a group of leaders and guests were guided to visit, so he was relieved and wanted to go to eat some food and go back to make up for sleep. Originally, I wanted to go back to Tangtai Mingyue, but when I saw that Tangtai Mingyue was leading the news reporters of the provincial TV program to follow the leaders closely, I didn't call her anymore, I went out directly from the back door of Baopu Zhai, returned home, set the time on my mobile phone, and found a pack of noodles from the refrigerator, cooked a bowl of sour noodle soup, and beat two eggs.

The leaders of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, one is a member of the Standing Committee of the provincial party committee and the director of the propaganda department, and the other is the vice governor in charge of culture, education and health, all of whom are direct leaders of the radio and television departments.

Tangtai Mingyue also saw Li Jianyu, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Minister of Organization, and also felt the obscenity in Li Jianyu's eyes that occasionally glanced at her, but she didn't care at all now, she was now the news anchor of the provincial station, not the news anchor of Shuiquan TV, even if Li Jianyu was a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the head of the Organization Department, what could she do? The beautiful Mingyue of Tantai does not bird him, and all he has in his heart is disgust, contempt, and a trace of pride!

Because of this mentality, when Tangtai Mingyue followed the provincial leader for an interview, she didn't even glance at Li Jianyu who was following the provincial leader out of the corner of her eye, she looked down on him at all!

After the provincial leaders visited Baopu Zhai, they still had tasks, and they had to accompany them. Sitting in the car, Tangtai Mingyue remembered Chen Guan and hurriedly made a call.

Chen Guan slept very sweetly, and when his mobile phone rang, he woke him up from his sleep.

Hearing that the provincial leaders, Secretary Shen, and Mayor Yu had already left, Chen Guan said that he was sleeping at home, he was too tired and didn't want to move, so he got up for a while, went to the street to have a meal, and went to see the autumn auction in the afternoon.

Tantai Mingyue couldn't imagine that Chen Guan would sleep at home, and she didn't know what to say for a while!

After a while, Yutai Mingyue figured out the joints, guessing that Chen Guan didn't want people to know that Baopu Zhai was founded by him, and completely let Professor Yu Bai run it, so he told Chen Guan on the phone that it was not early, it was time to have lunch, get up and wash up, and go to eat something. Go and hug Pu Zhai early, don't let Professor Yu Bai get too tired!

After hanging up the phone, Chen Guanzhen got up and washed up, drove directly to a braised noodle restaurant on the street and asked for a bowl of braised noodles and a meat bun, and let him cut a plate of mutton face meat, and ate it beautifully, then drove the car back to the Dadi Garden to park it and go to Baopu Zhai.

Bao Puzhai is a guest of the banquet today, but the host Chen Guan ate a bowl of braised noodles at the braised noodle restaurant on the street, and ate it deliciously, who believes this!

Today's hug Puzhai is too lively, it's time for lunch, there are still crowds inside, and there is a long queue outside. Many people want to come and see the masterpieces on display; There are also people who want to see what is going on at the venue of the autumn auction, and it is best to be able to take a look at it in the venue; There are also famous painters and calligraphers who want to paint on the spot in Baopu Zhai, but whether to buy paintings and calligraphy works is another matter.

So many people, fortunately, the opening of Baopu Zhai and the organizing committee of the autumn auction have considered it thoroughly, and adopted the mode of entering the store in a group, that is, a commentator takes a group of 20 people, and one group enters the store one after another, and takes them out of the store after visiting to avoid crowding in the store.

Hu Ming has done administrative work for so many years, rich experience, at the beginning did not expect Bao Puzhai to sell how many calligraphy and paintings, books and pen, ink, paper and inkstone today, the days are long, there is a chance to make money, his policy is to make two preparations, one hand to prepare is that if there are few people, you can stay in the store for a long time, and the narrator actively promotes shopping; On the other hand, when there are too many people, we will not consider the customers buying calligraphy, paintings, books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and the shorter the stay in the store, the better, so as to avoid crowding.

In this way, the income from the first day of opening of Baopu Zhai depends on the admission ticket to the exhibition of famous masterpieces in the basement and the commission income of the autumn auction.

Theoretically, this is the design, but in practice there will always be some deviations in the middle. The local citizens of Shuiquan are easy to do when they enter the store for sightseeing, and they will leave after a circle, indicating that they have been here and have seen it, and whether they buy things or not is secondary, because they can buy when they want to. The customers who came from other places are different, it is not easy to come to a trip, and when they see such a lively and so many people, they think that if they don't buy a painting, a letter, or a set of books, they will go back to buy as if they have come in vain. The little girls in charge of the commentary have a percentage of rewards in advance, and they are naturally looking forward to customers spending more money and buying more. In this way, the hall is bustling, and the sales counters in each exhibition area are full of people, and it is very lively!

Chen saw this situation and felt that if it continued like this, the autumn auction in the afternoon would not be able to be held!

Considering that Baopu Zhai is different from department stores, the general Shuiquan citizens just want to come in to see a fresh, and will not buy, and it is impossible to pay 30 yuan to visit and appreciate the masterpieces of famous artists, Chen Guan called Zhou Bing and asked her to explain to the security guards who are in charge of queuing outside, and divide the team into two rows, and the queue that bought tickets to visit the masterpieces of famous artists lined up, and those who did not buy tickets lined up, so they were separated. The commentator of the team with tickets can leave enough time for customers to buy, and the commentators of the team who have not bought tickets can no longer stick to a group of 20 people, and can bring a large group of 100 or 50 people into the group to compress time and speed up the process.

As soon as Zhou Bing heard it, he knew that Chen Guan was beating on the drum, and it was not easy to mix up buying tickets and not buying tickets like now.

After Zhou Bing went, soon the two columns separated, and the speed at which customers entered the store suddenly accelerated!

Chen Guan walked around the store at ease, mainly in front of the booths of calligraphers, painters and calligraphers who painted and wrote on the spot, as if he was nothing, and did not say anything, just watched silently.

Calligraphy and painting works are collectibles and luxury goods, and the general public only sees them but does not buy them, and there are many onlookers, but there are actually not many buyers.

This time, Bao Puzhai invited representatives of the Chang'an School, the Lingnan School, the Shanghai School, and the Beijing School, and more of them were young and middle-aged masters. The paintings of those representative figures are all going to participate in the autumn auction, and the paintings on display in the hall on the first floor are all works of young and middle-aged masters, and those who paint and write on the spot are also young and middle-aged masters. It should be said that each work has huge room for appreciation in the future. The point is that Chinese people are very psychologically strange and generally like to collect the works of those big names. If you want to buy a masterpiece like the famous masterpiece of the Baopu Zhai Exhibition, don't look at the price so expensive, it must be a large number of buyers, and maybe they all have to go through auctions and rounds of bidding to determine the ********. As for the young and middle-aged painters and calligraphers who paint and write on the spot, it is different, those who know the goods will naturally buy them, and those who do not know the goods may not buy them even if they have money in their pockets.

Chen Guan took a turn and saw that the prices of these young and middle-aged painters were not expensive, and according to their fame and sales results, most of them were between 500 and 1,000 yuan per square foot, which was a normal price.

When Chen Guan bought masterpieces of calligraphy and painting in Rong Bao Zhai a few years ago, the paintings of young and middle-aged masters on display in Rong Bao Zhai were hundreds of yuan per square foot, and there were no thousands at all. At this time, the price of the works of these young and middle-aged calligraphy and painting masters reached 500 yuan to 1,000 yuan, indicating that the calligraphy and painting market is bullish!

The reason why Bao Pu Zhai was able to invite representatives of several major painting schools and many young and middle-aged masters this time was because Hu Ming and Yu Bai had already promised these calligraphers and painters when they determined the idea of the opening ceremony and the autumn auction, that all the calligraphy and painting works exhibited in the exhibition, in addition to the purchase of customers, the rest would be purchased and distributed by Bao Pu Zhai, without credit or slips, and would be settled after the autumn auction.

This is the fundamental motivation for so many calligraphers and painters to come today!

As for where the funds for the acquisition of these paintings and calligraphy came from, Hu Ming and Yu Bai both believed that it was not a problem for them to consider, but something that Chen Guan should consider.

The masterpieces of famous artists used in the exhibition and the funds for the acquisition of calligraphy and painting works are the fundamental reasons why Hu Ming and Yu Bai are looking forward to Chen Guan's return and scolding him!

Chen Guan is very open, if the business of Bao Pu Zhai wants to prosper for a long time, it must be like Rong Bao Zhai, with a strong reserve of famous calligraphy and painting works. Only with calligraphy and painting works can there be room for appreciation, only profits, without calligraphy and painting works, hug Pu Zhai will not be able to survive. Therefore, he regarded this invitation to so many calligraphers and painters to exhibit and sell as a good opportunity to hold Pu Zhai to reserve calligraphy and painting works, even if he was worried about money, he had to buy it without hesitation!

Of course, when Hu Ming and Yu Bai contacted these calligraphers and painters, they also made it very clear that they had to show sincerity and give high discounts when they bought Pu Zhaibao. Otherwise, the profit margin of Baopu Zhai is low, and the business cannot be continued, and the calligraphers and painters will have one less channel to sell their works. It's a good deal!

As for the discount ratio, the agreement reached by Hu Ming, Yu Bai and the calligraphers and painters is a 5% discount!

From the current point of view, this discount ratio is a bit too ruthless. But in '96, it was normal. Because the art market is immature, calligraphers and painters do not have smooth sales channels. Including Rong Bao Zhai, the auction and sale are mainly those works of modern and modern masters. As for the works of contemporary calligraphers and painters, not to mention the price, the key is that few people care about it and can't sell it! Not to mention anything else, like Liu Wenxi, who founded the Loess School of painting, the paintings at this time were generally about 30,000 yuan. Who would have thought that more than ten years later, the price of his representative paintings would be hyped to the sky?
