Zhou Ming's aura of the rivers and lakes is still very heavy, and those who can talk about it are easy to say, and those who can't talk don't want to take advantage of him.

Li Guizhen wants to buy the small freehand orchid picture painted by Zhou Minggang at a price of 500,000 yuan, to say that this matter is also a happy thing, but Zhou Zhou Ming knows in his heart that if his painting is operated by an agent of Liu Guizhen's level, once he finds a buyer who knows the goods, it is not a matter of 500,000.

In other words, Li Guizhen's first thought when she saw Zhou Ming's painting was to buy it and then buy and sell it again to achieve the purpose of making a profit. How could Zhou Zhou Ming let this happen, and now he doesn't have to sell paintings for a living?

So in a flash of thought, Zhou Zhou Ming directly wrote the inscription on the painting, and wrote it in more detail, stating that the painting was painted by two people during the exchange and discussion, so that if Li Guizhen wanted to transfer the painting again, the price would not be raised. Because Zhou Ming wrote that this painting was for him Li Guizhen, other buyers would have some scruples when they saw it.

If it is an ancient painting, it doesn't matter who painted it to whom, because the person is gone, and the value of the painting will be doubled because of the identity of the original owner; But Zhou Ming and Li Guizhen are still alive, especially Zhou Ming, the author is just twenty years old, as long as he is willing to paint for decades, if rich buyers really like Zhou Ming's paintings, they will be more willing to find Zhou Ming to paint a painting, and will not choose such a painting with Li Guizhen's name.

If you don't believe it, you can go to the modern art market to see, most of the inscriptions of the works do not indicate who they are for, and even most of them do not have inscriptions, because once there is an inscription, there will always be people who feel uncomfortable, in order to maximize profits, the general modern art is not brought.

Of course, the current brokers are also shrewd, and after the buyer auctions the work, they can also provide after-sales service, and let the original author re-inscribe the inscription or something according to the buyer's requirements, anyway, as long as they make money, these brokers can do anything.

Zhou Zhou Ming now wrote a bunch of inscriptions without saying anything, and also pointed out that it was given to Li Guizhen, which is equivalent to Li Guizhen's idea of wanting to make money with this painting, that is to say, Li Guizhen spent 500,000 yuan to buy Zhou Ming's one-foot-sized orchid picture, and he can really only keep it in his heart.

Although this price is acceptable, the problem is that he himself is a national second-class painter, so he doesn't need to spend so much money to buy such a painting, what is he buying it back for? Hanging? What's the matter with a second-class painter hanging a painting he bought at a high price in his own home? But you can invest in it, but this painting can't be sold.

But the account was also transferred, the inscription was also inscribed, and several people present looked at him, Li Guizhen couldn't wait to swallow Zhou Mingsheng alive, but he still endured it, snorted and rolled up the scroll and turned around and left.

Old man Liu seemed to understand what was happening at this moment, and left with a smile, but when he went out, he turned around and gave Zhou Ming a thumbs up, it seems that this old man Liu seems to be very aware of Old Man Li's nature, and it seems that his impression of Zhou Ming has changed a lot.

The two old men left, Feng Junshan and Liu Xiaoya were very puzzled, "Brother, what's going on?" Why is my master so unhappy all of a sudden? ”

"Hehe, what else can it be, because of the inscription on the painting," Zhou Zhou Ming couldn't help but laugh proudly when he thought of Li Guizhen's soy sauce-like face as he spoke.

After laughing, seeing that Feng Junshan and Liu Xiaoya still didn't understand the mystery, they explained again with a smile, and looked at Feng Junshan with a smile after explaining: "Brother Feng, you won't blame me for cheating your master, right?" ”

Feng Junshan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This is a matter between you, what does it have to do with me, but what you have done is really amazing, I have never seen him have such an ugly face." ”

Liu Xiaoya giggled on the side: "With bad water in your stomach, Old Man Li probably can't wait to bite you twice." ”

Zhou Ming snorted, his face full of disdain, "If you want to talk about bad water, these people are even worse, and the good calligraphy and painting market will stir up a miasma, compared to them, what am I," said and casually threw the landscape painting that Li Guizhen had just painted to Feng Junshan, "Your master's level seems to be very average, what kind of thing is this painting?" ”

Feng Junshan looked at it and blinked, "I think this is not bad." ”

"You're just so aesthetic, if you're stronger, as for buying so many fake calligraphy and paintings?" Zhou Ming shrugged his shoulders and lifted Erlang's legs, "I see, you should change the master as soon as possible, you can't learn good from this master, there are a bunch of bad problems, and I feel that your current level is not much worse than him." ”

Feng Junshan smiled noncommittally, but it could be seen that he was a little shaken, especially after Zhou Zhou Ming pointed out the faults of this painting one by one, the whole person was not very good, and he crumpled the painting into a ball, and then rolled his eyes and smiled: "Brother, your one-foot painting can be sold for 500,000 yuan, so how much is the big painting you painted for me worth?" ”

Zhou Ming squinted his eyes and smiled: "Twenty million, do you think it's worth it?" ”

"It's worth it, of course it's worth it," Feng Junshan was not ambiguous, nodded vigorously, and then sighed: "It's a pity that I have no eyes and didn't find the value of the painting, if it weren't for Old Man Liu to see the value of the painting, I guess I would still be in the dark, brother, you are the real real person who does not show up." ”

Zhou Ming smiled and didn't answer this stubble, the price of the artwork should not be taken seriously, you say high is high, you say low is low, it all depends on what the person who pays for it thinks, although Feng Junshan said that the painting is worth 20 million, but it really costs 20 million to buy, I don't know how many people will scold him for being stupid, or suspect him of money laundering, because the market price of many ancient famous works is not so high, why is he a nobody?

Therefore, Zhou Ming opened the topic and casually talked about some other things, anyway, people in the antique shop are not afraid of not having something to talk about, for example, Zhou Ming picked up a leak in the market a few days ago, and it was only a few days, and there was a rumor that spread out, this is still the result of Zhou Ming's more cautiousness, otherwise he would have become a big celebrity now.

However, Feng Junshan knew the value of that big painting at this time, and he kept thinking about it in his heart, so he left after sitting for a long time, saying that he was going to Old Man Liu's house to stare at it, so as not to damage the painting.

After Feng Junshan left, Bo Gu Xuan was left with only Zhou Ming and Liu Xiaoya, remembering a little ambiguity that happened before, the two of them were somewhat embarrassed, but fortunately, customers came in from time to time, although there was no deal, but it can be seen that Bo Guxuan's reputation is indeed not small, otherwise there would not be such a large flow of customers, because the antique shop is usually very deserted, and sometimes no one comes to the door at the end of the day, let alone the transaction volume.

But with so many customers on the first day of Burggyosian's reopening, and a gross profit of less than 400,000 yuan, this situation looks really gratifying.

When she was ready to get off work in the evening, Liu Xiaoya hesitated and said to Zhou Ming: "Let's go to my mother's place for dinner tonight, my mother wants to see you, and bring Ziling here." ”

"No problem," Zhou Ming didn't feel anything, didn't he just meet Liu Xiaoya's mother? "I'll go out and buy some snacks and fruits later, by the way, where does your mother live?"

"In the suburbs," Liu Xiaoya shrugged, "I don't want to live in the city, and I don't want to make trouble." ”

Liu Xiaoya's place where her mother lives is indeed quiet, in a small village in the suburbs, there are green plants and trees everywhere, which is particularly eye-catching, after entering the village, it seems that she has teleported from the scorching green market to the cool suburbs of Kunshi, and the whole person is much more relaxed.

"What a good place," Zhou Zhou Ming looked around with a smile, and saw Liu Xiaoya greeting passers-by in the village from time to time, and joked with a smile: "You are very popular." ”

Liu Xiaoya nodded, "My mother is popular, warm-hearted, and a free art teacher in the village primary school," after speaking, he led Zhou Zhou Ming into a courtyard, the yard is not strong or high, similar to other people's homes, but it is much cleaner, there is a row of loofahs and beans planted outside the courtyard wall, and there is also a row of creepers on the wall, which looks very elegant, and at first glance he is a person who understands life.

Pushing the door in, the yard was also clean, a clearing with some cucumbers and tomatoes, and a small piece with a few moonflowers, blooming brightly, and the ground was so clean that not even a single dead leaf could be seen. As soon as he entered the door, a golden retriever ran out happily and kept spinning at the feet of Zhou Ming and Liu Xiaoya.

Liu Xiaoya bent down and touched the golden retriever's neck and shouted, "Mom? ”

"Niel?" The door curtain opened, and a middle-aged woman walked out, speaking softly, looking only in her forties, her hair was neatly combed, and she had a bun on the back of her head, and nodded with a smile after seeing Zhou Ming, "This is Xiao Zhou, come in." ”

Zhou Zhou Ming hurriedly greeted, "Hello Auntie, I'm Zhou Zhou Ming." ”

"Well, very energetic young man, sit down," Liu Xiaoya's mother's attitude was very gentle, she seemed to like Zhou Ming a lot, she couldn't stop looking at him, and after entering the door, she instructed Liu Xiaoya, "Nier, go make tea, and then help me cook." ”

"I know Mom," Liu Xiaoya looked like a coquettish little girl at this time, holding her mother's arm and shaking it constantly, "Don't call other people's nicknames, it's too ugly." ”

"Okay, okay, don't shout, don't shout," Liu Xiaoya's mother patted her head dotingly, "How adult, still like a child, don't let Xiao Zhou see jokes, go make tea." ”

Zhou Zhou Ming looked at this enviable mother and daughter from the side, with a silly smile on his face, but sighed silently in his heart, if he also had a mother, he should be as happy as them.
