Chapter 454: Yu Bai (continued)
It is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, not to mention that this is the housework of his own teacher's family?
Chen Guan had no choice but to say that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, this kind of thing is not worth being angry about, help them when you have money, and ignore them if you don't have money. Marriage is a matter for the two of them, and it is impossible for the old man to take care of them for a lifetime.
Yu Bai then asked Chen Guan what was the matter when he came to see him.
Chen Guan first took out the 1,000 yuan shopping coupon and handed it to Yu Bai's wife, saying that it was the New Year, and he came to see the teacher and his wife.
Yu Bai is a famous professor, he has a celebrity in his bones, and he is very high, and when he saw Chen Guan take out a 1,000 yuan shopping coupon, his face changed.
This time, Chen Guan learned the lesson of running into a wall with Meng Qingchuan and Luo Li, and without waiting for Yu Bai to turn his face, he said to Yu Bai's wife: "Master, you said that I came all the way to the provincial capital to see the teacher, and I can't say it if I don't bring something, and I don't know if it is in line with the teacher's mind." In the past, Confucius had to accept a few dried beef sticks when accepting students, but Teacher Yu taught me for so long, I had to accept a little thank-you gift, right? If I don't even have this kind of heart, wouldn't I be reading the saints in vain? ”
Yu Bai didn't have a seizure.
Then, Chen Guan explained his intentions.
Chen Guan said, he founded the Wulongyu tourist attraction in his hometown, and set up a Chen family bookstore, specializing in engraving printing, and now it has engraved the "Zizhi Tongjian" annotation of the three provinces of Hu in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty, and the quality is very good. Moreover, he has a façade room on the first floor of a residential building facing the street in Shuiquan City, with an area of more than 1,000 square meters on the first floor and more than 1,000 square meters in the basement. In addition, he happened to have a little celebrity calligraphy and painting on hand, which could be used for exhibition. Because of these three foundations, he wanted to set up a cultural enterprise similar to Rong Bao Zhai in Shuiquan, and wanted to ask the teacher to go out of the mountain and go to Shuiquan to establish this cultural enterprise.
This is an absolute great thing!
In order to move Yu Bai, Chen Guan said that this matter was proposed by Hu Ming, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Shuiquan Municipal Party Committee, thinking that Mr. Yu was an expert in the history of ancient literature and the collation of ancient books.
Hu Ming and Yu Bai are very familiar.
As soon as Chen Guan finished speaking, Yu Bai asked if there was a "Zizhi Tongjian" with engraving printing? Take it to him to see if it is an engraving from the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty.
It is a pity that Chen Guan did not have the "Zizhi Tongjian" with engraving, because he came to the provincial capital for training, and he spent a bit of time in the provincial capital and did not return to Wulongyu.
When he heard Chen Guan say that he did not take the class to engrave the sample book of "Zizhi Tongjian", Yu Bai also felt a little regretful, and said: "I have heard that Shuiquan has produced a set of engraving and engraving of "Zizhi Tongjian", which is very sought-after and cannot be bought with money. I didn't expect this book to be engraved by you! Yes, it's really good, it's not in vain for me to teach you a traditional printing technique of protecting engraving and engraving. By the way, where did you get that engraving from? ”
Chen Guan replied that this set of engravings was definitely from the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty, and it was extremely precious, and he bought it from a scrap warehouse at a great price. Others don't know the preciousness of this engraving, and it is sold as scrap. When he found out, he quickly bought it back.
Chen Guan this goods, he doesn't blink when he talks nonsense!
This cannot be blamed on Chen Guan, in fact, this kind of white lie is good for the protection of the precious engraving of the "Zizhi Tongjian".
Wang Meng actually knows very little about Chen Guan, only knows about his position, and doesn't know that she is the actual controlling shareholder of Wulongyu Tourism Development Co., Ltd., nor does she know that he founded Jinyangshan Mining Co., Ltd., let alone that he is a standard billionaire. When Chen Guan said this, Wang Meng's eyes went straight to Chen Guan's face, wanting to see how many things Chen Guan didn't know what she didn't know.
In fact, Wang Meng is blessed enough, and he also heard Chen Guan say that he has a façade room and a little celebrity calligraphy and painting. Including Chen Guan's parents, they were kept in the dark.
Yu Bai then asked what font this set of engravings is? How to deal with the damaged part of the engraving?
Chen Guan said that this set of engravings is made of thin gold fonts, and due to good storage, there is almost no damage. The only flaw is that there is no engraving of the four characters of the Chen Family Bookstore on the cover, so he had to write it out and hand it over to the technician to make the plate.
Wang Meng's understanding of Chen Guan has another layer: this guy is still a calligrapher!
Wang Meng's eyes were watery when she looked at Chen Guan, she was really like Qiuhong.
Yu Bai didn't believe it, so he asked his wife to get a brush and rice paper, and asked Chen Guan to write again on the spot, he wanted to see the level and strength of the Chen family bookstore.
Yu Bai is a famous professor and scholar specializing in ancient literature, and his own calligraphy skills are very profound.
After the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were brought, Chen Guan spread the paper on the dining table of Yu Bai's family, and then concentrated on his luck, picked up the pen and wrote the eight characters of "Zizhi Tongjian" and "Chen Family Bookstore" on the paper with seals, and wrote them again in thin gold font.
When Yu Bai saw it, he couldn't say anything, he never thought that the ninth level of the Chinese Department would have such a profound calligrapher as Chen Guan, who had been a teacher for several years, and he didn't even know what kind of level his students were.
After speaking, Yu Bai asked Chen Guan to write his name on rice paper, and asked his wife to put away the written words, and go back to frame it, maybe it will be very valuable in the future.
Yu Bai is very correct in saying this, a few years later, the words written by Chen Guan really brought a small fortune to Yu Bai's family!
Chen Guan's intention was made clear, and he also wrote on the spot, and it was Yu Bai's turn to express his position.
Yu Bai said that he did not spend time at home after retirement, and now undertakes the curriculum of a private school, and also undertakes part of the editing and sorting tasks of the Central Plains Ancient Books Publishing House in the province. However, if Chen Guanneng Baocheng has enough start-up funds, he is willing to go to Shuiquan. But one thing must be made clear, he is engaged in the collation of ancient literature and ancient books, and he is not good at business, let alone art auctions. These things have to be done by professionals. Otherwise, you'll lose money.
Chen Guan likes to entrust one person to take full responsibility, and Yangshan Gold Mine and Dongtonghua Concentrator are all engaged in this.
Chen Guan immediately said to Yu Bai: "Teacher Yu, I have a lot of things to do, and I'm very busy, so I can't take care of this mess." I'm only responsible for investing, and you'll have to take care of the rest. Who you need to invite, including salary, you can figure it out. I'm going on a mission after the New Year, and I'll be back in half a year. Here's what I want to do: During the Chinese New Year, you think about organizing people. Before the sixth day of the new year, you must rush to the water spring to meet me, and I will hand over the key to the façade room to you, and deposit the necessary funds into the account, and you can do it. Strive to complete the decoration and the overall design and layout of the store in half a year, and when I come back from the task, we will officially open. I only have one request, that is, the exhibition hall must be designed with a constant temperature to facilitate the preservation of precious calligraphy and paintings. ”
Yu Bai heard that Chen Guan was going to make a big deal, and he was anxious: "You Chen Guan, how can you do this?" There are some things I can do, and some things that I can do? ”
Chen Guan asked what kind of things the teacher couldn't do.
Yu Bai said that for example, personnel salaries, such as design and decoration budgets, these things must be decided by the boss. Since it is Chen Guan Investment, Chen Guan is the boss, and Chen Guan has the final say. Also, he is not familiar with all aspects of Shuiquan, and it is very difficult to get things done!
Chen Guan smiled and told Yu Bai that the teacher could handle these problems. The salary of the personnel is very simple, the salesman who needs to be recruited is slightly higher according to the local salary standard of Shuiquan, and the special manager talent is treated differently, such as Mr. Yu's senior talents, the salary is two or three times the original salary standard; Others are agreed by Mr. Yu at his discretion, and the monthly salary is between 600 and 1,000 yuan under normal circumstances. As for the decoration design plan, Mr. Yu put forward the design requirements and handed them over to the decoration company and the refrigeration and heating equipment manufacturers for implementation, and the amount of money is determined by Mr. Yu. It really doesn't work, he arranges an accountant, arranges a cashier, and is led by Mr. Yu. In addition, it is very convenient to work in Shuiquan because all units are students who graduated from Chung Yuan University. At that time, as long as Hu Ming invites the alumni to have a meal, with the prestige of Teacher Yu, what else can't be done?
Let Chen Guan say this, it seems that this matter is a sure thing, and it is not difficult!
After all, Yu Bai is a famous professor and scholar, and he has a famous person. Things like business are originally mundane in his eyes, and he can't do them if he doesn't want to. The problem is that if Chen Guan wants to run a cultural enterprise like Rong Bao Zhai, he must have first-class scholars in charge. At present, Chen Guan can only find Yu Bai. Others don't have a relationship with him, so he can't be invited!
Yu Bai's wife was already moved when she heard this, and at this time she raised a question: "Chen Guan, I don't object to you letting your teacher go to Shuiquan, this is a good thing, I support it!" However, your teacher Yu has already retired, how to solve the problem of eating and lodging after arriving at Shuiquan? If you eat it on the street all the time, it won't take long for your body to collapse! ”
Chen Guan said there is no need to worry about this. Teacher Yu went to Shuiquan, and his wife naturally had to go with him. He will buy a house for Mr. Yu in Shuiquan, buy all the furniture, pots and spoons, which is equivalent to letting Mr. Yu settle down in Shuiquan, and the problem of life will be solved.
A house is attractive enough for Chinese who are currently housing difficulties!
Don't talk about Yu Bai and the old couple, Wang Meng, who was sitting on the side, was excited when he heard it, and looked at Chen Guan with both eyes, that momentum was simply discharging!
Yu Bai didn't hesitate anymore and told Chen Guan that he would pack up and take the train to Shuiquan after the New Year, and let Chen Guan pick him up at the train station.
After the big event, Chen Guan began to give Yu Bai a detailed introduction to Rong Bao Zhai's business methods, focusing on the former manager of Rong Bao Zhai's kind treatment of Fu Baoshi and other artists, saying that the future cultural enterprises should make friends with painters, calligraphers, and Jin Shi and become the home of artists. Every year, they are invited to the water spring to travel, sketch, create, regularly hold calligraphy and painting exhibitions, and hold art auctions when the conditions are ripe to expand their influence and increase their popularity!
Yu Bai is most afraid of losses, because the art market has just started, and the Chinese people have no awareness and consciousness of collecting artworks, and they are worried that sales will not go up in the future.
Chen Guan said that there is no need to worry about this, the art market is originally a business that is not open for half a year, and it is open for half a year, as long as the reputation is out, the benefits will naturally be good.
Yu Bai was speechless.
