Chapter 218: The Calligraphy and Painting Business

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Guan Jiaze suddenly had a bitter face: "Why did you leave it to me?" Why are you going? ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "We'll help you." Du Jinning patted him on the shoulder, "Of the four of us, you have the most face in the academy, aren't you?" ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; As soon as Guan Jiaze was put on by her high hat, he immediately became happy, patted his chest and said, "Okay, you can rest assured that you can leave it to me." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Qi Muyuan and Du Jinning glanced at each other, and both smiled at the corners of their mouths.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Those gentlemen in the academy are not so easy to convince. Some are pretentious and disdainful of selling calligraphy and paintings for money; Some are not short of money at all. Those who need to sell calligraphy and paintings to make ends meet already have their own sales channels. It's not easy to change them. This is also the reason why Du Jinning did not plan to sell calligraphy and paintings in the bookstore in the first place.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; But Yao Shuqi has this proposal, and Guan Jiaze can take on this difficult task, so she is naturally quite happy.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; With a roll of her eyes, she walked to Qi Muyuan's side and called: "Senior Brother Qi"

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Qi Muyuan's body trembled, and he glanced at Du Jinning: "If you have something to say, don't call me senior brother." "When there is something, he calls him senior brother, and when he is fine, he calls Qi Muyuan, when he doesn't know what the hell this little guy is doing.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; was seen through at a glance, Du Jinning didn't blush, and said with a shy smile: "Isn't Grandpa Qi's handwriting very good?" You persuaded him to take out two ink treasures and become the treasure of our town store. ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;" He wouldn't agree. Qi Muyuan refused without thinking about it.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;"It's in the store, we don't sell it." Du Jinningyou said, "With his old man's Mobao in the store, those little ones don't dare to make trouble, right?" Moreover, the gentlemen of those academies will also look at his old man's face and take out the calligraphy and painting happily. ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Qi Muyuan glanced at Du Jinning and didn't make a sound.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Du Jinning saw that there was a door, and tried his best to persuade him: "Yan muscles and willow bones, each with its own style, no matter up or down." The same is true of Grandpa Qi's words, and those who like his old man's Mobao regard it as a guide, and hanging it out will definitely not lose his old man's face. ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Qi Muyuan raised his eyebrows: "How do you know what I think?" ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;"If you have already saved people, you will naturally know." Du Jinning said with a smile.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Some people don't like to be judged by money, so it's understandable that many calligraphers and painters are reluctant to sell their paintings and calligraphy. But even if he doesn't sell Qi Bokun, he is unwilling to use his works to support his grandson's business, and his concern is nothing more than worrying that others will say that his handwriting is not good. Especially compared with Tang Yuankai, who is good at calligraphy in the academy, if he can't compare to him, he will inevitably lose face.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;But the imperial examination is not only based on the text, but also on the words. Qi Bokun passed the palace test, and the notes he wrote were written in front of the emperor all day long, and the words he wrote must be good. There is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts. His old man's status is there, and there is really no one in this county who has the courage to find fault with his old man's words.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Guan Jiaze heard the conversation between the two, and suddenly became energetic, and said to Qi Muyuan: "No, ask Grandpa Qi to write two words for us." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Qi Muyuan was helpless and said to Du Jinning: "If you can ask Mr. Yuan for his paintings, I will promise to ask my grandfather for two paintings." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Guan Jiaze is not a big deal to watch the excitement, and immediately pointed the finger at Du Jinning: "Yes, yes, we all have tasks, there is no reason for you and Zhang Hongwen to rest." You go to Mr. Yuan, Zhang Hongwen looks for Mr. Tang, everyone finds calligraphy and painting together, and decorates the faΓ§ade, otherwise this house is empty, and I don't have the face to open. ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;"Don't embarrass Zhang Hongwen. Du Jinning glanced at him, "Zhang Hongwen can find Mr. Huang Chengming." I remember that Mr. Huang's calligraphy and painting were good. ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Zhang Hongwen glanced at her gratefully and agreed: "Okay, I'll find Mr. Huang." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Guan Jiaze asked Zhang Hongwen to find Tang Yuankai, but he didn't think much about it, just mentioned it in passing. Seeing that Zhang Hongwen had taken on a task, he naturally had no opinion.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Yao Shuqi didn't expect that he just proposed to sell calligraphy and paintings, and Du Jinning could give him such a big surprise, and he could actually get the calligraphy and paintings of these celebrities in the county to be put on display. Even if it doesn't sell, it's a gimmick that always attracts people to the store. With popularity, are you still afraid that there will be no business?

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; He was surprised and delighted when he saw Du Jinning beckoning to him: "Shopkeeper Yao, you come." He hurried over.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;"How do other paintings and calligraphy make money?" Du Jinning asked.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Yao Shuqi's name is not only named Shuqi, but also naturally from a scholarly family. It's just that he didn't have the talent to read, and his family fell again, so he came out to be the shopkeeper. He insisted on doing a calligraphy and painting business in a bookstore, firstly because he was more obsessed with them, and secondly, because his family had done a calligraphy and painting business before, and he had a certain experience in this matter.

As soon as he heard Du Jinning's inquiry, he immediately talked eloquently: "One is to buy calligraphy and paintings directly from calligraphers and painters and sell them in bookstores. One is that calligraphers and painters store their own calligraphy and paintings in the bookstore to sell, and the bookstore charges 30% of the fee. ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; The modern calligraphy and painting business also does this, but Du Jinning didn't expect the ancient bookstore to collect such a high share.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; She thought for a moment and asked Yao Shuqi: "If we only receive a share of 10%, will anyone say that we will disrupt the rules?" ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Yao Shuqi nodded: "Naturally." We are not the only one who is in the painting and calligraphy business, and the Yan family has a big calligraphy and painting shop. ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Yan family? A coldness flashed in the eyes of several people in the room.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "Du Jinning, let's make this shop bigger and crush the Yan family's shop." Guan Jiaze hated the authentic.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Originally, he still felt dispensable about this shop, and it didn't matter if he made a profit or a loss. But now, he was aroused with a strong fighting spirit.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;The Yan family targeted Du Jinning, didn't they go to close the house? Although Yan Cen was kicked out of the academy and was dismissed from the qualifications of a food student, Yan Songtao was considered to have broken an arm, but Guan Jiaze's anger has not subsided.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; There was a chance to squeeze the Yan family, Du Jinning was naturally very happy, and nodded: "Okay." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; She thought for a while and said to Yao Shuqi: "In this way, we are students of the academy, and the care of our gentlemen is naturally not within the scope of business. The calligraphy and painting of the gentlemen of Boyue College only charge 10% of the fee, which is regarded as the return of our students to the gentlemen. ”..

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Yao Shuqi's eyes lit up: "That's good." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Some gentlemen from poor families are not so high as to disdain silver. Many people will sell their calligraphy and paintings. If it is sold, there will be a sales channel that was originally intrinsic. It is not easy to get them to sell calligraphy and paintings here. After all, there are old friends, and there is no need for people to offend people for no reason.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; You can change the 30% fee to 10%, which is different. I think even if they don't open their mouths, those gentlemen will take the initiative to put the consignment location in their bookstore. No one is going to have trouble with silver, is there?
