Chapter 55: The Strange Stone Residence
The next day, Fang Yang didn't go to the flower and bird market to Taobao first, because Master Bai Yan returned to Beijing today, and as a student, Fang Yang naturally had to see him off at the airport.
Fang Hongda was busy with government affairs, and specially appointed a deputy secretary general of the provincial party committee to see off the plane, under the advance arrangement of the staff, Master Bai Yan entered the VIP waiting hall from the VIP channel as soon as he arrived at the airport, and Fang Yang and the deputy secretary general were only sent to the security checkpoint.
Before passing through the security check, Master Bai Yan specially stopped and told Fang Yang to go to the capital as soon as he was free, and when the time came, he would invite friends from the calligraphy and painting circles in the capital, the collection world, and his disciples to introduce Fang Yang to them. In the face of the teacher's love and support, Fang Yang naturally nodded respectfully in agreement.
After sending off the teacher, Fang Yang took the car of the provincial party committee back to Rongcheng City. Rongcheng Airport is located in Yongle, a suburb of 60 kilometers away, and this time back and forth, a morning has passed almost a long time.
Fang Yang got off the bus at the exit of the second ring road, and couldn't wait to take a taxi and go straight to the Rongcheng Flower and Bird Market.
The flower and bird market is not only a trading center for flowers and birds, but also a trading and distribution center for flowers, pets, fish and insects, antiques, Shoushan stones, etc. With the improvement of people's living standards, the spiritual demand is getting higher and higher, and the business of the flower and bird market is naturally becoming more and more popular. Now this market was expanded in 2004, and a special area for Shoushan stone and antique calligraphy and painting was opened.
There are small stalls here, there are also storefronts, small enough to be a two-foot square cloth on the ground, on which there are some villain books, copper coins, ** like badges and other things; The larger stores are as large as covering an area of several hundred square meters, and the things sold are much the same, but the cabinets on display are more upscale, the environment is more beautiful, and there are beautiful waitresses, and of course, the price has naturally risen and become stronger.
Fang Yang was looking for a small shop called "Qishiju", the flower and bird market was not big, and after Fang Yang walked around, he quickly found this shop in a remote location.
Looking up, the plaque with the three gilt characters of "Qishiju" written on it was already old, and it was full of mottled colors. As soon as he entered the door, Fang Yang saw two rows of shelves full of Shoushan stones, while some treasures and finished products were locked in a glass cabinet next to the counter, where there were seals, inkstones, figures, flowers, birds, fish and insects......
The light in the store is not very good, the shopkeeper is sitting behind the counter, wearing reading glasses is looking through a copy of "Rongcheng Metropolis Daily", hearing someone come in, the shopkeeper put down the newspaper, slightly raised his eyes and looked through the gap above the black glasses frame, with a cunning light in his small eyes.
Fang Yang nodded slightly at the shopkeeper and wandered around the store on his own.
"You're the right one to me, young man! Don't look at our small store, but in terms of the number of treasures, the entire flower and bird market can't find a second one! The shopkeeper came up and boasted about himself.
Fang Yang smiled and nodded, slowly looking at the collection inside in front of the glass cabinet. In fact, his target was the Shoushan Stone Rough Stone on the back two rows of shelves, but it was not easy for him to go straight to the target, the owners of these shops were all human spirits and were very good at observing words and feelings, so Fang Yang was more cautious.
"This is Tian Huangshi, carved by Master Liu Quanshu himself, it is definitely a treasure among the treasures...... "The shopkeeper followed Fang Yang's footsteps and introduced diligently, the location of the store is a little off, and there are not many customers who usually come to the door, mainly some old customers and regular customers who are taking care of the business, and finally came to one, and it looks like a young and inexperienced chick, the shopkeeper is naturally holding on, hoping to make a big profit.
Fang Yang laughed in his heart, this kind of roadside stall level carving actually dared to claim to be Liu Quanshu's work, it seems that the shopkeeper really treats himself as a rookie.
However, Fang Yang didn't break it, but pretended not to understand, lingering in front of the "treasure", as if he was moved.
"Young man, Master Liu Quanshu's works have appreciated the fastest in recent years! Do you know? Last year, a customer bought a seal of Master Liu Quanshu from me for 25,000 yuan, and it was sold for 100,000 yuan at auction a few days ago! When the shopkeeper saw Fang Yang's expression, he felt even more dramatic in his heart, and he introduced him even harder.
Fang Yang just smiled and didn't say a word, and slowly pretended to be inadvertently turned to the two rows of wooden shelves where the Shoushan Stone Rough Stone was placed. He seemed to walk slowly, but in fact his eyes were racing over every stone. In his previous life, Fang Yang only looked at the finished product after his carving and the photos of the original stone at Master Baiyan's house once, but fortunately, Fang Yang had an excellent memory since he was a child, and Fang Yang was still extremely impressed by the appearance of this rough stone.
Although he walked very slowly, there were not many rough stones in the small shop, and Fang Yang quickly finished reading it, the expression on his face did not change, but there were turbulent waves in his heart.
The rough stone I saw in my previous life was not in the store!
Could it be that my memory is wrong? No way!
Could it be that history has changed, and this stone was bought half a year earlier? Fang Yang was puzzled, after he was reborn, until now, except for the lack of a Fang family and two young people in this world, and some things related to him have undergone slight changes, everything else is running according to the trajectory he understands, why is there something wrong here?
Fang Yang suddenly panicked, this kind of thing is beyond his control, it feels very bad, this has nothing to do with the value of the stone, but Fang Yang's biggest advantage after being reborn is the entanglement of interests between the major families that he understands, all kinds of secret anecdotes, mastering these, Fang Yang will be able to be like a fish in water and comfortable in the upper class society in the future. But if these become uncertainties, then his advantage will be lost.
Could it be that the fluttering wings of your little butterfly have begun to change the world?
Fang Yang's heart was confused for a while.
At this time, the shopkeeper didn't follow Fang Yang step by step, he found that Fang Yang didn't seem to have purchased **, maybe he just happened to come in and shop casually.
Just when Fang Yang's mind was in turmoil, a plainly dressed young man in his twenties walked in with a wooden box.
The box seemed to be a little heavy, and the young man put it on the counter, panting slightly, and said to the boss:
"Boss, I have a Shoushan stone here, do you accept it in the store?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said:
"Let's take a look at the things first, as long as the things are good, of course we will accept them!"
The young man nodded, opened the wooden box, Fang Yang also glanced at it casually, and suddenly his blood almost surged, the rough stone lying quietly in the wooden box with a blue appearance was not what he was looking for just now?
It's really a poor mountain and a poor water, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village!
I see!
In my previous life, I learned that the lucky collector bought this stone at the end of 2010 in Qishiju, I heard that it has been on the table for a long time and no one cares, but that is all hearsay, in fact, the truth of the matter is that at that time, this stone was also purchased by the shopkeeper just a few months ago.
That's no book out of nowhere!
If you come a day late, you will buy a stone and make a small fortune; If I had come a day earlier, I guess I would have been trying to find the reason for this!
At this time, the shopkeeper only glanced at the stone brought by the young man, and his face suddenly showed a look of extreme disappointment, and he opened his mouth and said:
"Young man, are you sure this is Shoushan Stone?"
The young man felt the suspicion of the boss, and suddenly became anxious, and he said quickly:
"Of course, this has been passed down in our family for generations! My grandfather collected it in Shoushan Village! ”
The shopkeeper suddenly laughed and said:
"Young man! Don't you think that all the people who come out of Shoushan Village are Shoushan stones! I tell you, there is a lot of attention here, and you won't understand it! Let's put it this way, you stone, it's worthless. Even if what you say is true, the value is limited in terms of quality. ”
The young man was stunned by the shopkeeper's words, and asked in a whisper for a long time:
"And how much do you give? My dad said that less than 10,000 must not be sold! This is our family heirloom! If it weren't for my mother's treatment, this stone wouldn't have been sold! ”
When the boss heard the young man's offer, he immediately laughed out loud, and he said:
"Ten thousand? Young man, if you can afford 10,000 yuan a piece, I will have as many stones as you want! ”
"You ......" The young man suddenly became angry for a while, and he had the intention to put away the wooden box and leave, but he had already been to many stores just now, and as soon as people heard his offer, they immediately shook their heads again and again, and the meaner people even made a lot of sarcasm. Thinking that his mother was still lying on the hospital bed waiting for life-saving money, the young man suddenly became short of breath, and he asked in a consultative tone, "Then how much can you pay?" ”
The shopkeeper saw that the young man was soft, and he also took it up, picked up the stone and looked left and right, and knocked and beat from time to time, as if he was very knowledgeable, Fang Yang watched coldly from the sidelines, and couldn't help but feel funny, if the shopkeeper could see the true value of this Shoushan stone in this way, he didn't have to open a shop, just go to gamble on the stone.
This stone can't be seen from the appearance at all, and the collector in the previous life was also due to fate, and accidentally destroyed a corner during the polishing process, revealing the true face of Lushan inside.
In appearance, this is a piece of shrimp back green in very poor condition, and its price is also obvious, you don't need to look too carefully to draw conclusions, and the market value is also in the appearance of three or four thousand, and the shopkeeper obviously wants to lower the price.
Sure enough, the shopkeeper looked at it for two or three minutes before he raised his head and said slowly:
"You stone, I'll give you this number at most!"
With that, he stretched out five fingers.
"Five thousand?" The young man was a little disappointed, this was a full double the price of his psychology.
The shopkeeper sneered and said disdainfully:
"I'm talking about five hundred! Spend 5,000 bucks on such a thing, unless my head gets caught in the door! To tell you the truth, I am very likely to lose 500 yuan, such a stone has no ornamental value, and there will be no customers interested in it at all! ”
Fang Yang observed for a long time, and when he saw the boss and the young man bargaining, he had a flash of inspiration, and a plan was born in his heart.
