Chapter 545: Pillar Inscription (I)
The antiques brought by Chu Chen this time, except for the pair of chicken bowl cups, the bloodstone king and the painting of Zheng Banqiao, can be transferred, but like these millions of rare antiques, they can't enjoy the opportunity to open a discount.
Despite this, the prices of antiques in Chu Chen's shop are very fair, so there are still many people who come to inquire about these treasures and antiques.
Of course, Chu Chen said that it is relatively not preferential, and those old-timers still have to be discounted to some extent.
As for other antiques, you can enjoy a 20% discount within three days, so there is an endless stream of buyers, and if it were not for the rule that one person can only buy a maximum of two pieces, maybe the goods in the store would probably be swept away.
Seeing that the business in his store was booming, Chu Chen was happy but also a little worried, if the business continued to be so good, it would be out of stock immediately, and there were no antiques in the antique store, so he would be laughed at by his peers.
Of course, Chu Chen's idea is also unfounded, after all, the things he has here are tens of thousands at every turn, even if they are discounted, they will not be cheap, if it is the shopkeeper, unless the things are really too attractive, it is not very cost-effective to buy them back and sell them in their own stores.
Instead of that, they might as well go to the countryside or buy from other places.
However, it is not too cheap for these shopkeepers, but for those customers who really need it, such a discount margin is now very affordable, so there are many buyers.
Chu Chen didn't know that Lu Dao's net profit would be so high today, and he frowned lightly at this time. Walked into the VIP room.
Liu Lao looked at his appearance and asked, "Achen." What are you thinking? ”
"It's not that the business is too good, I'm worried that the antiques in the store can't keep up!" Chu Chen scratched his head and said.
Uncle Wu smiled and said, "Among those people below." In fact, most of them are still lively, and I estimate that there will be two or three out of ten people to buy things, which is already amazing, so you don't need to worry about the goods. The key is that some boutiques or treasures are not out of stock, as for the ones on the first floor, if they are really out of stock, we can collect some at the stall at that time! ”
"You're saying that I'm going to do it!"
Chu Chen patted his forehead, he was really a little stupid. With their own abilities, go to so many antique markets in the capital to go around, treasures and antiques may not be found, but some boutique or ordinary goods are still easy to find, and the goods will not be available at that time!
Next, Chu Chen originally wanted to accompany the two elders to drink tea and chat for a while, but he was frequently interrupted by people who came to ask for the price, which made him helpless. I had to go downstairs again to do the town.
Seeing this, Liu Lao Ha said with a smile: "It seems that Achen is going to get rich again!" ”
In fact, as Liu Lao said, when the evening is settled, even if the income from those superb antiques brought by Chu Chen is removed. Not counting the jade jewelry, the net profit of antique trading alone exceeded two million a day. If this news spreads, it will have to make those shopkeepers envious and jealous.
Come home in the evening. Zhang Guoju's family had gone upstairs to sleep, while the others were sitting on the sofa. While watching TV, I waited for Chu Chen to come back. This situation made Chu Chen feel warm.
After saying hello to everyone, Chu Chen sat on the sofa, receiving so many people today, his body didn't feel tired, but his mind felt a little unbearable.
Seeing Chu Chen's appearance, Zhao Yunlin hurriedly made a cup of tea for Chu Chen, and asked distressedly: "Achen, how is it, why don't you rest early?" ”
"Mom, it's okay, it's just that there are too many people today, and my head is a little dizzy, and there is no problem now." Chu Chen replied with a smile.
"Is it really okay?" Zhao Yunlin asked uneasily.
"It's really nothing!" Chu Chen replied with a smile.
"Okay, Ah Chen is a practitioner, he knows his body best, don't worry." Chu Yongning said.
Hearing Chu Yongning say this, and seeing that Chu Chen's face was indeed fine, Zhao Yunlin relieved her heart.
"By the way, brother, how much is the turnover of the store today?" Chu Yulan asked.
Chu Chen smiled and told everyone a number that everyone didn't expect.
"So much?" Everyone present was quite surprised when they heard Chu Chen say the number.
Chu Chen smiled and acquiesced, today's turnover in the store actually exceeded 30 million, although most of them were contributed by those superb antiques and jade jewelry, but the popularity of the business still surprised him. And among the 30 million, the cost is not even half, and most people will be blushing at this kind of gold absorption speed.
"Brother, your store is really nearly a thousand dollars a day!" Chu Yulan said with a smile.
"Where!" Chu Chen waved his hand and said: "In our antique industry, we generally don't open for three years, and we open for three years, and when the freshness passes, the business is not so good!" ”
"Brother, doesn't your shop still sell jade jewelry, my sister-in-law said that you already have a master-level carver now, and you will definitely be rich in the future!" Chu Yulan said with a smile.
"Then I'll lend you good words!" Chu Chen said with a smile.
When Qiao Qian heard this, she was slightly stunned, and suddenly sighed in her heart that Chu Chen is too versatile, he knows martial arts, can identify antiques, gamble on stones, and can also use medical skills, and now he can even carve, and he is still at the master level, what else does he not know?
"Brother, what do you carve for me to carve a jewelry?" Chu Yulan asked with a blank look.
"I'll have time later, and I'll carve one for each of you." Chu Chen replied.
Chu Yulan received an affirmative answer, and said with her hands dancing: "Brother, I love you to death!" ”
Chu Yongning and his wife looked at each other and smiled, and Qiao Qian was very hot, if only he had such an older brother or boyfriend.
"Josie, when the time comes, I will also carve a jewelry for you, I wonder what style you like?" Chu Chen smiled slightly.
Qiao Qian was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly waved her hand and said, "It's too precious, forget it!" ”
Although she doesn't know much about jadeite, she often knows a little about the market when she goes shopping, like the jadeite jewelry carved by ordinary masters, which are often worth a lot of money, and she now also knows that Chu Chen is more atmospheric, and she will definitely not carve it with ordinary materials when the time comes, such a precious thing, she is really embarrassed to accept it.
Chu Chen said with a smile: "Josie, you also know that I will gamble on stones, for me the raw materials can be regarded as readily available, at most I just spend some effort on carving, not to mention anything precious or not." Besides, you are also my junior, and it is normal to give gifts to juniors. Okay, we're done, tell me what style you like? ”
Then, Chu Yulan also persuaded a few words.
Under the graciousness, Josie could only agree embarrassedly.
Next, everyone discussed for a while and determined the style they wanted, and Chu Chen recorded these one by one.
When Chu Chen was recording, Chu Yulan stood up and poured tea, and when she returned to her original position, she happened to see the brocade box that Chu Chen had just placed next to her, so she asked with some curiosity: "Brother, this brocade box seems to have been given to you by your uncle, right?" ”
Chu Chen put away the pen and paper, nodded and said, "Yes, he gave it to me, he didn't tell me that he picked it up before, but what it is, I haven't opened it yet." ”
Hearing Chu Chen say this, everyone showed a curious look on their faces, and Chu Yulan couldn't wait to say:
"Brother, then let's open the box quickly and see what leaks my uncle has picked up!"
"Okay!"
Chu Chen smiled and nodded, then opened the box, and found that there were two handscrolls inside.
"Looks like I can't put it on the coffee table, let's go to my studio and take a look!"
Everyone had no opinion on Chu Chen's proposal, and then everyone came to Chu Chen's studio.
Opening the box, Chu Chen put on gloves and took out the two handscrolls from the box and unfolded them, and the true faces of the two handscrolls were displayed in front of everyone's eyes.
One of the two handscrolls is calligraphy, and the other is promotion, and it can be seen from the dense seals on the two works that the origin of this work must be very large.
Sure enough, of course, when Chu Chen saw the author's seal, he was immediately surprised, he really didn't expect that this work was actually Liu Gongquan's regular script work, copying Wei Zheng's "Pillar Inscription" in the Tang Dynasty.
Liu Gongquan, the word Cheng Han, a calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, is one of the four well-known regular scripts. And because he was the official to the prince and the young master, he was known as "Young Master Liu".
Liu Gongquan's calligraphy is famous for regular script, and Yan Zhenqing is equally famous, known as Yan Liu. His calligraphy beginner Wang Xizhi, later all over the Tang Dynasty famous calligraphy, think that Yan Zhenqing, Ouyang Xun the word is the best, then absorb Yan, Ou Zhilong, in the Jin people and Yan Shu graceful and majestic between, formed their own willow body, with bone strength and strength is good, later generations have the reputation of "Yan muscles and willow bones".
Liu Gongquan had a high reputation for calligraphy in the Tang Dynasty and later, or there was no second person in the world. At that time, the inscription of the minister's family was not allowed to be written by Liu Gongquan, and people regarded their descendants as unfilial. Moreover, the reputation of Liu Gongquan spread overseas, and he paid tribute, and he did not sign the clerk, saying: "This purchase of Liu Shu." ”
The emperor's reuse and the minister's praise can certainly change the trend for a while, but this is not the main reason for the rise of Liu Gongquan's reputation. The most important thing is the unique beauty of the book style of Liuti, which has conquered the contemporary era and won future generations.
Su Shi once said: "Self-face, willow is not, and the penmanship is weak." In addition, the funeral at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the characters withered, and the literary style was swept away. Duyang Gongning style, handwriting is heroic, there are two kings, Yan, and willow style. This is really the hero of the book, and it is not set by the times. ”
It can be seen that Liu Gongquan's calligraphy had a great influence on later generations. (To be continued......)
