Chapter Forty-Eight: Cooperation!
Ding Zi sat cautiously on the sofa, she looked around and found that the room was full of books. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
She smiled and said, "Teacher Tang, you have such a good environment here, there are so many books, you are all a person who loves to read." ”
"Hmm!" Tang Xiao nodded slightly, Ma Ping politely brewed a cup of coffee for Ding Zi, and filled Tang Xiao's teacup with water before quietly retreating.
Ding Zi glanced at Ma Ping, and then looked at Tang Xiao's expression with a calm face, she felt that Tang Xiao's city mansion was really deep, the person named Ma Ping at today's exhibition was clearly a nursery, did Tang Xiao deliberately let him meet with him today?
Tang Xiao told himself in this way, was all this arrangement deliberately designed by him?
"Miss Ding, didn't I tell you? I still have to think about cooperation, why do you have to be in such a hurry? Tang Xiao said lightly.
Ding Zi cleared her throat, she changed into a light gray suit today, with a short black skirt on her lower body, slender and white long legs ******** bewitching, especially a pair of jade feet, red leather shoes are very eye-catching, looking extremely attractive, obviously she has been carefully dressed.
She is a girl who is good at dressing up, and her own conditions are indeed good, tall and tall, with slender legs, sitting upright on the sofa, which seems to be able to give people infinite reverie.
"Giggles, Mr. Tang, it's not that I'm in a hurry, I didn't come here to talk to you about cooperation, our boss lady ordered, let me pay you a deposit for the work. One of your two works is entrusted to us to give to Professor Liu, and the other is of higher value, and the proprietress should have an initial estimate of more than 200,000 yuan.
As a painting and calligraphy dealer, we charge a sales commission according to a certain percentage, and the proprietress means that this is your first work, and the commission will not be collected, so I will pay you the deposit for the work. Ding Zijiao said.
She took out a card from her bag, pushed it in front of Tang Xiao and said, "Teacher Tang, there are 200,000 in this card, you can accept it first!" ”
Tang Xiao frowned slightly, stared at Ding Zi and said word by word: "Miss Ding, are you sure that one work can be worth 200,000?" ”
Ding Zi hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, I must be able to!" This work is more than 6 square feet, and the conservative price of 40,000 square feet is more than 200,000 yuan, we will give you 200,000 yuan just in advance, and the rest of the money will be sold for you to make up. ”
Tang Xiao felt a little confused in his mind, he felt that today's things were too crazy.
His calligraphy works are still conservative at a price of 40,000 square feet, are their works really that good?
Or is it because of the decay of traditional culture, the impetuousness of people's hearts, the distortion of social values, and the soil of art is on the verge of drying up?
Tang Xiao has been thinking about this question just now, he found the works of modern and contemporary calligraphers and painters from the Internet, and he did see many flaws in these expensive works, and his works are not worse than these works.
But this can't say that Tang Xiao's works must be good, compared with the works of ancient masters, Tang Xiao can obviously feel a big gap, but this kind of quality of works is rare in modern times.
After Ding Zi finished speaking, she looked at Tang Xiao seriously, and she could see Tang Xiao's every expression clearly.
"He doesn't want 200,000, if he really doesn't want it, what should he do next?" Ding Zi thought to herself, very worried.
She was afraid of Tang Xiao's resignation, because Tang Xiao's resignation meant dissatisfaction, 200,000 dissatisfied, how much could she be satisfied?
"Well, you put it there first! I won't tell you Miss Ding, I didn't expect my work to be worth so much money, but since you said it was worth the price, then okay! I'll take the money! Tang Xiao said.
"Great!" Ding Zi subconsciously said yes, she immediately reacted that she was out of shape, and immediately made a big red face.
She took a sip of coffee and said, "Teacher Tang, our ink studio is really difficult now, and you may not know our situation......
Ding Zi got up, and then she talked about the problems between the boss and the proprietress of Ink Shop one by one, talking about how the boss Huang Yongqiang was inferior to pigs and dogs, how to abandon his wife and children, and finally how to bring down Ink Shop All kinds of inside stories confided to Tang Xiao one by one, and when it came to emotion, she even choked up several times.
Ding Zi is indeed very beautiful, and today she is deliberately dressed up, and now she is even more pitiful when she is sensational, which is really pitiful for me.
"Teacher Tang, I know that you are a good person, the proprietress and I are now on the verge of a desperate situation, and it is very difficult to operate. At this time, if we can get the support of Mr. Tang, this is our only turning point, so I hope Mr. Tang can seriously consider us.
You cooperate with us, and your works will be handled by us in the future, and your public relations affairs will also be handled by us, you only need to create with peace of mind, in this regard, we are absolutely professional ......" Ding Zi's tongue is like a lotus, playing the sad card while not forgetting to emphasize his professionalism and strength, which can be described as a two-pronged approach.
Tang Xiao himself was born in business, and when he saw Ding Zi's performance, he couldn't help but extend his thumb and praise: "What a good salesman!" ”
Ding Zi's cooperation with Tang Xiao is understood, this kind of cooperation is equivalent to an agent, and in the future, Tang Xiao's works will be sold exclusively by Ink Studio, and Ink Shop can monopolize the sales rights of Tang Xiao's works in the industry by grasping this point.
If Tang Xiao is very famous and has a great influence, it is often easy for such a brokerage company to achieve great success.
Speaking of which, this kind of cooperation is reciprocal, Tang Xiao needs such a company to help him sell his works, help him deal with things like public relations, and even need them to help with packaging. Calligraphy and painting dealers also need well-known artists like Tang Xiao to help them hold up the table and help them make money.
Before Ding Zi came over today, Tang Xiao and Ma Ping had already had a fierce argument, and after calming down, Tang Xiao now reflects, he feels that calligraphy works are indeed a source of income that cannot be ignored for his current self.
Confucianism is not only poor, on the contrary, since Confucianism is a doctrine that inspires people to forge ahead, it does not reject money at all.
"A gentleman loves money, and he takes it in a good way!" , the first sentence of these eight words is four words, which shows that even gentlemen love money, but the way they get wealth is dignified.
Now that Tang Xiao's calligraphy has achieved something, he relies on the sale of calligraphy works to make money, so as to improve his material life, which is no problem at all.
Tang Xiao was still a little reserved and not transparent before, but after a heated debate with Ma Ping, he realized that he was really pedantic before.
Scholars are just good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, with such specialties, these specialties can bring spiritual pleasure to people, and others are willing to give back the reward, so what is the need for hypocrisy?
"You're going to show me your contract?" Tang Xiaodao.
"Okay, okay!" Ding Zi was overjoyed and handed the contract to Tang Xiao, Tang Xiao squinted at the contract, the terms of the contract were many, very detailed, and Tang Xiao had a headache.
But in general, Tang Xiao understood that this contract was relatively beneficial to Tang Xiao, because there was one of them, if Tang Xiao was not satisfied with the service of Ink Shop, he could terminate his cooperation with them at any time.
Tang Xiao looked at it roughly and said, "Where's your pen?" ”
"Uh...... Pen, here! Ding Zi handed the pen to Tang Xiao in a hurry.
Tang Xiao waved his pen at the last sign and wrote his name: "Tang Xiao".
"Okay, let's sign a contract, I only have one condition, that is, I won't have too many works, only the works that I feel very satisfied with will I give to you. So, you can't rush the work, you know? Tang Xiao said.
Ding Zi's heart was so full of joy that she almost jumped up, she couldn't help but climb Tang Xiao's arm with both hands, and said, "It's really good, Teacher Tang, thank you so much." It's all up to you, we don't have to ask, you can keep your heart in your stomach. ”
Tang Xiao glanced at Ding Zi, coughed lightly, and said, "Miss Ding, by the way, you just said so much about your boss and your boss's wife, could it be that you stayed in Ink Shop because you didn't resent, your boss pig and dog, abandoned your wife and children?" Isn't that so? ”
"Uh......" Ding Zi was speechless, her expression was extremely embarrassed, she was so sensational just now, she couldn't wait to put Tang Xiao on the moral high ground of kindness.
Now Tang Xiao asked a rhetorical question coldly, making her previous sensationalism particularly funny.
In these years, are there still people who uphold justice because of compassion, refuse sugar-coated shells, and are willing to clear the poor?
After a long time, Ding Zi said: "Don't hide it from Mr. Tang, in order to keep me, our boss gave me 30% of the dry shares, and I am also one of the bosses." And the proprietress also promised that the business I developed would make half of the profits. ”
She paused and said, "Teacher Tang, I admit that I stayed because of interests, but ...... But...... Our previous boss was really too immoral and ...... And he's still a lustful maniac, even if I love money, I ...... I won't accept his benefits. ”
Tang Xiao smiled and said, "Well, I understand!" What you said is human nature, it is not easy to live in a city like Lingang, you have a heart of right and wrong, good and evil, which is actually very good. Okay, the contract has been signed, I'm tired today, let's go back and communicate! ”
