Receiving a call from Ink Shop, Tang Xiao was surprised. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
And the other girl's polite and almost enthusiastic attitude made Tang Xiao feel even more confused.
"Didn't you come and pick it up in two days? How can it be so fast? Tang Xiao heard the other party say that his words had been framed, and he was puzzled.
"That's right, Mr. Tang, because your work is a fine product, so as soon as you go to work today, the master in the store will frame it for you. The master was worried, I don't know if you can be satisfied with his craftsmanship, so as soon as the framing is done, I will call you as soon as possible, is it convenient for you to come to the store now? The girl's attitude was very polite, and her words seemed cautious.
Tang Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "This ...... I'm not near your store right now, and I still have work in the afternoon, so you can frame it and leave it for the time being, and I'll pick it up when I'm free. ”
"It's okay Mr. Tang, if you tell me your current location, I will send someone to pick you up immediately. I don't dare to hide it from you, there is a distinguished customer in our store who likes your calligraphy works very much, and I very much hope to meet Mr. Tang.
It's not an easy opportunity! Mr. Tang also hopes that you will never refuse......"
Tang Xiao's brows frowned slightly, and his heart suddenly brightened, he just wondered why the attitude of this girl surnamed Ding had changed so much, and the word that dared to love himself seemed to be taken by someone, but this kind of thing made Tang Xiao a little flattered.
He has a clear understanding of his own calligraphy Tang Xiao, his calligraphy can be regarded as having entered the room, but compared to the real calligraphy everyone, there is still a big gap, although yesterday the pair of words Tang Xiao himself is very satisfied, but that piece of words in the calligraphy market, I am afraid that it is not a good work.
It was difficult to refuse, Tang Xiao was not good at refusing, he told the other party where he was, and in just ten minutes, a red Honda car "squeaked" and stopped at the place where Tang Xiao was standing.
The window of the driver's seat was lowered, and a good-looking girl stuck her head out of the car, wasn't it the female clerk who received Tang Xiao in the Ink Shop this morning?
"Mr. Tang, get in the car!" The girl smiled, very enthusiastic, where was there a trace of contempt and arrogance?
Tang Xiao has been crawling in society for many years, and he has long been accustomed to the shallowness of human nature, so he didn't care about it immediately, just smiled faintly, and opened the car door.
After getting in the car, the girl had a lot of words, she first took the initiative to introduce herself, Tang Xiao knew that her name was Ding Zi, she was the store manager of Ink Shop, she had been working in the calligraphy and painting industry for four or five years, and she was an old man with a bit of seniority.
Tang Xiao didn't say much, he just listened carefully to Ding Zi's words, and occasionally responded with a few simple words, which made Ding Zi feel a little unfathomable.
Women have natural advantages in some aspects, and Ding Zi is a very smart woman who is usually very good at using her strengths. In her mind, with her charm and means, to deal with a poor calligrapher like Tang Xiao, as long as she plays a little, she will inevitably be able to catch it.
However, Tang Xiao's performance was obviously beyond her expectations, and after getting in the car, he didn't even say a word, and he didn't even take the initiative to ask who took a fancy to his works.
Ding Zi's car didn't drive slowly, and in just ten minutes, the two arrived at the door of Ink Shop.
The lobby of Ink Shop is very quiet, there are only two clerks, and as soon as Tang Xiao enters the door, he sees his own words - "Heart is like a rock".
After careful framing, the feeling of this character is even better, Tang Xiao stopped to admire it for a long time, and couldn't help but show a satisfied smile on his face.
Ding Zi's eyes kept staring at Tang Xiao until a smile appeared on Tang Xiao's face, and she said, "How is it, Mr. Tang?" Are you satisfied with the craftsmanship of our framing masters? ”
Tang Xiao nodded lightly and said, "It's really good, it's a pity that the size of this piece is a little smaller, if the banner is a little wider, it may feel better." ”
"I think Mr. Tang's painting is just right." A very loud voice suddenly came from inside the ink shop, Tang Xiao looked up, and saw an old man dressed in Tang costume and wearing red sandalwood Buddha beads walking out of the room with a smile.
Ding Zi chuckled and said, "Mr. Tang, let me introduce to you, this is Professor Liu Gongming of Lingang University, and he is also a well-known collector of calligraphy and painting in China. ”
Tang Xiao was slightly stunned for a moment, his eyes looked at the old man in Tang costume, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and after a while, he calmed down and stretched out his hand and said, "Professor Liu, in Tang Xiao, it's a pleasure to have the honor to meet you." ”
"Huh!" Professor Liu smiled, waved his hand and said, "Don't dare, the future is terrifying." I didn't expect Mr. Tang to have such skills in calligraphy at such a young age, which really surprised me. When I saw your words before, I felt that this character was very stylish, and there seemed to be a sense of righteousness between the strokes of the pen.
I was very curious about who the author of this painting was, and I was fortunate enough to know him, so I asked Miss Ding to disturb you. ”
Tang Xiao waved his hand again and again, "Professor Liu, you are too polite. As a collector of calligraphy and painting, you must be a first-class vision, although my painting is a clever hand, but my skills are too shallow, the understanding of calligraphy is not deep, this work is actually nothing. ”
Professor Liu squinted at Tang Xiao, and nodded secretly in his heart, there are very few young people nowadays who can have such cultivation and mentality as Tang Xiao, Tang Xiao is young and promising, but he is not self-righteous, and has a clear understanding of his own level, which is a rare and valuable quality.
Liu Gongming is not an ordinary mortal, although he is a professor at Lingang University, but his other identities are more prominent than professors, he is the director of the world's largest manufacturing company Fukang Group, once the boss of Hong Kong's daily and monthly newspaper, and his net worth is hundreds of millions of dollars.
It's a shame to say that Tang Xiao didn't know about such a character before, Ding Zi introduced him to the identity of Professor Liu Gongming, and he only thought that the other party was a university professor.
Tang Xiao seriously consulted a few doubts in his writing, and Liu Gongming said: "You still practice too little, the way of calligraphy lies in diligence, no matter the cold or summer, you can't stop for a day." The so-called practice makes perfect, and if you want to improve your skills, you have to work hard. ”
Tang Xiao nodded secretly, but there was a wry smile in his heart.
With his current situation, where can he have time to practice calligraphy? If you can't do it, your stomach will be a problem, so where can you take care of calligraphy?
Thinking back then, Tang Xiao also dreamed of becoming a calligrapher, but unfortunately, the dream is very beautiful, the reality is too skinny, Tang Xiao has been in Lingang for eight years after graduating from university, and has been struggling on the survival line, and the skills of the year are now wasted.
Tang Xiao and Liu Gongming chatted warmly, but Ding Zi on the side was secretly anxious in his heart.
Previously, Liu Gongming had made it clear that he was interested in this painting, and that Ink Zhai was in the business of calligraphy and painting, and if Tang Xiao's character could be sold, Ink Painting, as an intermediary, would take a certain benefit fee from it, and this was Ding Zi's business.
What she never expected was that as soon as Tang Xiao and Liu Gongming came into contact, they first depreciated themselves by three points, and then asked Liu Gongming for advice like a student, isn't this self-lowering?
She endured it for a long time, but she couldn't help it, so she said, "Mr. Tang, that's the case, Professor Liu took a fancy to your painting and wanted to spend money to buy it." You see...... At what price do you want to sell? ”
"Selling words?" Tang Xiao raised his eyebrows and blurted out: "How much can my word be worth?" ”
Liu Gongming smiled and said, "According to the price of 5,000 yuan per square foot, I am willing to buy your pair of words for 10,000 yuan." ”
"Ten thousand?"
Tang Xiao only felt that his head was "booming", and he couldn't believe his ears for a while, and he could write a piece of writing by himself and sell it for 10,000 yuan in Ink Shop? It doesn't seem like a good idea, right?
If you can sell your own characters at a price of 5,000 per square foot, then there are really too many people in Huaxia who can rely on writing to eat.
Tang Xiao thought like this, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind: "What else did Professor Fei Liu feel from his words?" He suddenly remembered that Professor Liu said that he seemed to have righteousness between the strokes, could it be that his concentrating and writing yesterday had an effect?
"Wow, the price of 10,000 yuan is really good, and the works of our young calligraphers on the front line of Lingang are only at this price. I didn't see that Professor Liu could give such a price for Mr. Tang's work. Mr. Tang, congratulations! Ding Zi said with a smile on his face.
Tang Xiao bit his lip with his teeth, and after a long while, he said, "I'm sorry, Professor Liu, this ...... Banner I ...... I can't sell! ”
Tang Xiao almost tried his best to say this sentence, to be honest, 10,000 yuan is a huge amount of money for Tang Xiao now, if Tang Xiao can sell words and get such an income, his financial pressure can be relieved immediately.
If it were an ordinary person, in the face of such a temptation, it would be absolutely impossible to refuse, but Tang Xiao's character was heavy, and he was going to give this character to Ma Ping, Professor Liu saw that this character was extraordinary, which showed that this character might be extremely helpful to Ma Ping's situation.
10,000 yuan is important, but if this painting can alleviate Ma Ping's condition, the value is even greater.
Saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, Tang Xiao was able to write this character yesterday, and it was also because of a coincidence, the mental conception and inspiration were all in that position, and this work was produced overnight.
If Tang Xiao is asked to write such a picture again now, he will never have confidence.
This means that Tang Xiao sold this painting to Liu Gongming today, and when he turned back to Ma Ping, he couldn't think of a way, with his person, it was difficult for him to make such a decision.
After calming down his mind, Tang Xiao's decision in his heart became extremely firm, and he continued: "Professor Liu, to tell you the truth, I framed this calligraphy for a friend of mine, in fact, from the perspective of calligraphy, this calligraphy is definitely not worth the price you give. If the professor likes my words, if I have inspiration another day, I will definitely write a picture for you, I hope you can understand. ”
