Tang Xiao's words made Ding Zi's face change greatly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
For a young calligrapher, the work can be favored by a well-known calligraphy collector like Professor Liu, and it can be purchased for 5,000 yuan per square foot, which is simply a pie in the sky.
If Tang Xiao can cooperate with her Ink Shop and publicize this matter, Tang Xiao will definitely be able to rise in the calligraphy world of Southern Guangdong and become a new generation of well-known young calligraphers, which is too precious for a young man who has always been depressed.
But in the face of such an opportunity, Tang Xiao actually refused? How can this be refused?
Not only did Ding Zi feel incredible, but Liu Gongming was also a little surprised, obviously, Tang Xiao's refusal surprised him.
Over the years, he has rarely made a sale, let alone the works of young calligraphers, and he rarely buys the works of many contemporary masters. Speaking of the reason, it is because his fame is too great, as long as he buys the works, it is easy for people with intentions to have the opportunity to hype, and this kind of thing makes him feel disgusted.
The owner of this ink studio is usually very attentive to him, he will occasionally come to sit down, and he is not eye-catching to most of the calligraphy works of ink and wash studio, but today he sees this work of Tang Xiao, which gives him a very unique feeling.
This work is carefully analyzed from an artistic point of view, and there are indeed many flaws. But Liu Gongming's heart has a long-lost desire to buy, he always feels that this work is very special, this character is not just a word, but like a living person, this person is full of masculinity, inspiring and inspiring, making him think of his young years that were full of vitality and vitality.
Therefore, he became interested in Tang Xiao, and when he saw Tang Xiao himself, he could probably see the possible embarrassment of Tang Xiao's living situation with his experience, so Ding Zi asked him to quote, and he quoted a price of 10,000 yuan.
In his opinion, art aside, there is a work that makes him want to buy it for a long time, and this work is worth 10,000 yuan.
Even if it is expensive, he is very happy to be able to use this money to help a promising young man.
But Tang Xiao refused!
Ding Zi gritted her teeth on the side, but she had to control her emotions, and she said in a very regretful tone: "Mr. Tang, do you know how precious such an opportunity is? If you can give this work to Professor Liu, we are willing to cooperate with you for a long time in the future.
I can make the decision to book at least three of your works, and the price is maintained at 5,001 square feet, do you think you want to think about it again? ”
Tang Xiao's face changed slightly, and his hands couldn't help but tremble, this is an opportunity to make a fortune. Tang Xiao graduated from university for eight years, and his savings have never been 10,000 yuan in the past eight years. Now this opportunity given to him by Ding Zi can make him earn tens of thousands, and this temptation is not small.
But......
Tang Xiao secretly gritted his teeth, shook his head firmly, and said, "Miss Ding, thank you!" This character really can't be sold, my original intention of writing this work is to give it away, the gentleman promises, I can't lose my trust! ”
"You ......" Ding Zi almost lost his temper and scolded, stomping his feet in anger.
"A guy who doesn't know the height of the sky really thinks he's a calligrapher! If you don't grasp such an opportunity, you deserve it! Ding Zi scolded secretly in his heart, and his expression was extremely ugly.
"Haha......" Liu Gongming laughed and said: "What a 'gentleman's promise', Xiao Tang, I can't win people's love with just your words." It's okay, we made friends today, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to buy your Mobao in the future?
That Xiao Ding, don't look like that, you can't hide your mind from me, this character is a work in my and Xiao Tang's hearts, but it is a business in your eyes. If you run this ink studio with such a mentality, I am afraid that your ink studio will never be able to reach the hall of elegance. ”
Liu Gongming's words were very serious, Ding Zi made a big red face, she was not afraid of Tang Xiao, but she didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction with Liu Gongming's words.
In the Lingang calligraphy and painting industry, no matter who offends Liu Gongming, there is no need to mix it up, the boss of the Ink Shop can't wait to offer Liu Gongming as a Bodhisattva, if Ding Zi provokes this Bodhisattva, she can't do her job.
"Come on, Xiao Ding, take out the big red robe that your boss treasures, I want to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and invite Xiao Tang to taste tea." Liu Gongming laughed, his laughter was loud, and he felt very open-minded and bold.
Tang Xiao didn't have time to drink tea, but now he is under a lot of pressure on his performance, and he plans to visit customers in the afternoon.
But Professor Liu is so enthusiastic, and he can't refuse, especially when he just refused Professor Liu's request to buy words, and he is very upset.
The tea that Liu Gongming brews today is the best Da Hong Pao, which is produced in Wuyi Mountain, and is refined from the tea leaves picked from the mother tree, which is extremely expensive.
The tea belt brewed out of the best Jingdezhen secret color porcelain tea ware is golden yellow, the tea fragrance lingers, the water mist rises, and the artistic conception is extremely lofty with the surrounding antique environment.
Tang Xiao felt that his spirit seemed to have been sublimated at this moment.
For eight years, although Tang Xiao has a good mentality, he has been running around for life for eight years.
With an elegant room like this, a good pot of tea, and a few like-minded confidants and friends drinking tea and chatting together, Tang Xiao feels that this kind of life is life.
"The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds and work their muscles and bones......"
Tang Xiao thought of Mencius's words, concentrating on it, and the will in his heart became extremely firm for a while, although he is now very depressed and his life is very unhappy, but he still firmly believes that he will have a good life, and he has never been disappointed in life.
Professor Liu is an elegant person, with a very high taste for life and a very high vision in his daily life, and all the friends he has made are well-known figures. Although Tang Xiao is unknown, he is knowledgeable and has a wide range of knowledge. The two chatted over tea, books, paintings, and ancient classics, and Tang Xiao did not fall behind at all.
The more Liu Gongming talked, the more surprised he became, the more surprised he was, the more he liked to see Tang Xiao, the more pleasing it was to the eyes, and Tang Xiao, although he was dressed shabbyly, he had a steady and elegant temperament, like a piece of jade that fell into a pile of rocks, how similar was this kind of young man to Liu Gongming when he was young?
It's just that Liu Gongming came from a wealthy family since he was a child, and he was pampered since he was a child, until his family declined when he became an adult, he suffered a lot in Hong Kong, and experienced a lot of ups and downs before he had today's status and life.
And Tang Xiao seems to have a very ordinary background, but I am afraid that with his talent, he will be depressed and rare to be in an impetuous city like Lingang.
As soon as he thought of this, Liu Gongming had a desire to cherish his talents......
"Ding, ding, ding!" Just when the two were chatting speculatively, Tang Xiao's mobile phone suddenly rang.
As soon as he looked at the electricity, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Professor Liu, I'll answer the phone." ”
Tang Xiao hurriedly walked out of the door, the phone was connected, and he heard the hurried voice of Li Ming, the manager on the other end of the phone: "Is it Xiao Tang?" Where are you now? ”
"Uh, I...... I'm in Westside now? What's wrong, manager? ”
"You go back to the company immediately, take a taxi immediately, and I will reimburse you for the fare." You have a big deal at hand for me now, do you hear me? Li Ming said loudly.
Tang Xiao was stunned for a moment and blurted out, "What's going on, manager?" ”
"Don't ask so much, I'll give you twenty minutes, and I'm going to see you in the company in twenty minutes, understand?"
"Drip, drip, drip!" Li Ming didn't give Tang Xiao a chance to speak again, so he hung up the phone directly.
Tang Xiao turned around and entered the room, and said very apologetically: "Professor Liu is really sorry, the company has an urgent matter temporarily, and the leader called me just now to ask me to go back to the company immediately, so I can't accompany you to have tea." To be honest, I'm fortunate to know you, and I hope to hear from you another day. ”
"Huh? Going? This tea is only brewed twice! Liu Gongming said very regretfully.
Tang Xiao said casually: "I'm really sorry, that ...... Miss Ding, I took this picture with me, Professor, Miss Ding, we will have a chance to meet again next time. ”
Tang said goodbye in a chic manner, took the word, and went out quickly, but he was reluctant to take a taxi, but ran to the subway station with a smoke, his actions made Liu Gongming and Ding Zi look at each other, Ding Zi heyed, and said:
"This man...... Who is this? What's wrong with young people now? I don't know any basic politeness, and he doesn't look at Professor Liu, what your identity is, such a person is really annoying. ”
Liu Gongming squinted and stared at the direction Tang Xiao left, smiled faintly, and said: "Poor and unflattering, rich and not arrogant, but not as poor and happy, rich and courteous." Xiaoding, if you really want to achieve something in this industry, you have to understand this truth. ”
Ding Zizhi stared at Liu Gongming in a daze, and said curtly: "Professor, you ...... What do you mean by this ancient text? I...... I don't understand. ”
Liu Gongming frowned, sighed, and said, "That's it!" Am I wrong to tell you this? Aren't you in the business of calligraphy and painting? In the future, as long as it is Xiao Tang's work, I want it, you still have to think about how to please this parents who you think are impolite, right? ”
After Liu Gongming finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves away, Ding Zi's eyes widened, his lips moved again and again, and he was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.
