Chapter 9 The Partnership of Little Yellow Pictures
Chang Le took a sip, his mouth was fragrant, and the aftertaste was endless. Such a warm and comfortable feeling made her not want to leave. I have to say, this place is better than her broken yard I don't know how many times.
"How?" Seeing that she enjoyed drinking so much, Liu Chengyan asked casually.
Chang Le held the tea bowl and smiled sincerely: "This is the best tea I have ever tasted." ”
Liu Chengyan was very useful, and bent his eyebrows with satisfaction.
Chang Le was hooked by those eyes again, like in this milk tea cup, soft and warm. The body unconsciously relaxed, and for a while I wanted to sleep, so I chattered for more comfort.
"The owner of this shop is alone?"
Liu Chengyan smiled and said, "Yes." ”
"There are so many books here, Lord Sai."
Liu Chengyan gently slapped the palm of his hand with a fan, and said with a smile: "Some of the calligraphy and paintings here are left by the ancestors, collected from outside, copied and painted by themselves, and some were sent, just like Mrs. ”
The word "same" was deliberately bitten and lengthened by him, Chang Le pursed his lips uncomfortably, and suddenly smiled: "Is it the same way to send it, or is it the content of the album?" ”
Liu Chengyan's face did not change: "There are all of them." ”
"Then what do you think is the difference between me and theirs?" Chang Le is completely shameless, anyway, when talking about business, you have to talk about it clearly.
Liu Chengyan's eyes flashed with surprise, and after a pause, Fang said freely: "Madame's painting method is peculiar, I haven't seen it in this world." Heavy on details, heavy light and shadow changes, lifelike, see as if you are on the scene. Everyone else is a matter of men and women, but Mrs. is the good of Longyang. ”
"The fasting master is really powerful, and he got to the point all of a sudden." Chang Le repeatedly told himself that they were purely discussing the work itself, and had nothing to do with anything else, "The owner of the painting has all been sold?" ”
Liu Chengyan replied truthfully: "It's sold." ”
Chang Le leaned over at the desk: "Is it selling well?" ”
"It's okay."
"How much is a volume?"
Liu Chengyan wrote lightly: "One or two." ”
All the spring palace pictures he has here are basically at this price.
"Profiteers!" Chang Le stood up, his eyebrows upside down, "One or two silver?" You only give me 200 wen at a time! You're too much of a profiteering, aren't you? ”
Chang Le now feels that he has been deceived by Liu Chengyan's appearance, he is an out-and-out profiteer!
Wolves in sheep's clothing!
Liu Chengyan raised his eyebrows, and in the face of her unreasonable trouble, he unhurriedly found a pretense: "Mrs. has not mentioned it here, Liu thinks that Mrs. has acquiesced to only two hundred words." ”
Listening to his clever tongue, Chang Le immediately felt a kind of dumb eating coptis, and he felt bitter and indescribable. I really want to beat my chest at this moment. It took a long time to accept the fact that he had lost a huge fortune, brushed his forehead and sat down again, resting his head weakly on the table.
"If I asked, 'Can you make up some of what you have earned?'
Seeing that her face instantly changed into a pet, Liu Chengyan actually had the urge to touch her head. It was easy to turn his head, cough, and frown slightly: "You're not here to talk about things?" ”
Chang Le blinked his eyes: "I'm here to talk about this." Originally, I wanted to say to see how your sales are doing, and if it's not good, I'll change the studio. Just now, I thought that the owner of Zhai was good, and I already knew my identity, and I was already planning to agree on a long-term partnership. Unexpectedly, the fasting master actually cheated me. ”
Liu Chengyan is not interested in long-term partnerships, and her business is not very profitable. But Yu Guang caught a glimpse of her eyes with a splash, and she couldn't help but soften. He turned the fan and pretended to think.
"You are married, why do you do such things? If something happens to him every day, you will lose your reputation. Those who are expelled from their husbands will be killed. ”
Chang Le's eyes moved down, staring at the desktop, complaining and sorrowful, with tears in his eyes.
"My husband is dead and now widowed. There is a seventy-year-old mother, an aunt, and a pair of young children. The family is in poverty and has no way to make a living. If he hadn't been cornered, how could he have done such a bad thing and killed himself. ”
Liu Chengyan turned around when he heard this, and he was suspicious.
Go out to pretend to be a maid, it can be seen that its door rules are strict, presumably not ordinary people, can send paintings every three or five must be not far from home. But in the thirteen counties and near the outside of the city, there is such a tragic rich portal, and he has never heard of it.
Even if he didn't believe it anymore, Liu Chengyan couldn't help but hand out a handkerchief when he saw her tears. looked at her face with a scar on her forehead and a delicate and white face, and comforted her softly: "Liu has no intention of arousing Mrs. Sad, please forgive Mrs., don't be sad." If the lady wants to be in a long-term partnership, we can discuss it again. Liu was also reluctant to give up this opportunity to make money to others. ”
Chang Le sobbed and raised his eyes to look at him, slowly sat up straight, and said while wiping his tears: "Let the lord of the fast see and smile." ”
Liu Chengyan faintly felt that something seemed wrong. But when I think about it, I am relieved.
It's just that I can't bear to go into the pit, and I'm not afraid of any tricks she has. Just make interesting friends.
"Dare to ask Madame's name?"
Chang Le paused: "Ah Chang." ”
Liu Chengyan thought silently in his heart and wrote it down.
"Dare to ask the lord of the fast?" I am always happy to see what I am.
"Don't dare, in Xia Liu Chengyan."
Chang Le asked which two words they were, and he silently wrote them down.
"How do you want to partner?"
Chang Le made a grievance again: "I offer paintings, and you sell paintings." The profit obtained, four or six points, you four and I six, how about it? ”
Liu Chengyan looked at her and said nothing with a smile.
Chang Le thought that the other party felt excessive, and rolled his eyes: "As sincerity, I will provide another business opportunity for the fasting master?" ”
"Madame, come and hear it." Liu Chengyan was interested.
"It's the brush I use to paint. The brush I use is a willow charcoal stick, and the lord can burn the willow charcoal and package it so that people can't see the material. This pen is certainly a novelty, because it will not sell well at first, and it will definitely cause a trend in the future. Chang Le turned on the mode of talking nonsense, and he was serious.
When Liu Chengyan heard this, the doubts in his heart were solved.
He has been researching what Changle paintings are made of, and he has also tried charcoal, but the effect is not satisfactory, it turned out to be willow charcoal strips. However, this so-called charcoal will not be used by anyone now, and naturally there is no commercial profit at all.
Chang Le thought about it again and found a way to persuade: "When the lord of the fast is selling paintings, if there is a place where I am needed, I will often and Ah Chang will definitely go to the soup and go to the fire." After all, we're partners. ”
"Okay."
Hearing Liu Chengyan simply agree, Chang Le was momentarily confused, and instantly said happily: "Lord Zhai agreed, sell strokes together?" ”
Liu Chengyan nodded with a smile: "Liu thinks you can give it a try." ”
After all, she has spent so much thought and tongue, wouldn't it be unreasonable if she didn't agree? Besides, he wanted to know how many strange ideas the lady had.
