"There is labor!"

Xu Zhiyuan watched the young man run up to the second floor, Zhao shopkeeper? It should be the second shopkeeper, Ouyang Cheng is the big shopkeeper, with his status and status, he doesn't have to be in the store often, just go around when he has something. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Boss Xu has been looking up for a long time, Xiao Tian, hurry up and make good tea for your guests!"

After a while, the stairs sounded, and an old man in his fifties, dressed in a black robe, came down from the second floor, and greeted him energetically.

Xu Zhiyuan stood up, took a few steps forward, and said politely: "Shopkeeper Zhao is polite, the junior Xu Zhiyuan came to visit rashly, please forgive me for offending!" ”

"Hahaha, they are all peers of the Liuli Factory, don't be too polite, please take a seat!"

Shopkeeper Zhao looked at Xu Zhiyuan, who was in his prime in front of him, and secretly praised in his heart, what a turbid son! Suave and personable, it makes people feel good at first sight.

"It's a small gift, not a tribute." Xu Zhiyuan asked Su Mei to put the small gift he bought on the table, and said with a smile: "I have long wanted to visit Old Man Ouyang and you, but I have never had a suitable opportunity, and today I finally got what I wanted." ”

"Boss Xu is polite!" Shopkeeper Zhao nodded and said with a smile: "It's really unfortunate today, Old Man Ouyang is not in the store, and he still talked to me about Boss Xu yesterday!" said that the glaze factory finally came out of a rookie and gave the old and young masters a long face! ”

Su Mei stood on the side, watching the two people chatting happily, I really couldn't see that it was the appearance of the rival of the peers, no wonder they all said that the antiques were the deepest, and they were all old foxes!

"Old man Ouyang is busy, it's not too late for the juniors to visit next time, it's an honor to see you today."

Xu Zhiyuan took a sip of tea and looked at the antique Rong Bao Zhai hall, which is worthy of being a century-old store and full of style. The walls are full of celebrity calligraphy and paintings, and they are all masterpieces, and second-rate characters are not even worthy of the qualifications to go on the wall!

"Patronizing and chatting, I almost forgot that Boss Xu should be the first time to come to Rong Bao Zhai, right? Why don't I show you around? ”

Xu Zhiyuan hurriedly stood up and said politely: "Don't dare to bother Shopkeeper Zhao, your boss, just take a look at the two of us for ourselves, you can get busy first if you have something." ”

"Okay, I'm definitely not comfortable following you, I'm on the second floor, and I have something to say hello to Xiao Tian!"

Shopkeeper Zhao explained to his buddy, turned around and went upstairs, he was able to come down and see Xu Zhiyuan, who was already a big face, this is Rong Bao Zhai! Don't say it's Ouyang Cheng, ordinary guests can't even see the second shopkeeper, just have a little guy to say hello!

In fact, he is also curious about Xu Zhiyuan, a newcomer broke out of the name of Nuo in just a few days, which is also an outlier in the antique circle! There are a lot of things that get rich overnight, but being able to open a store in Liulichang and prepare to do business for a long time is not the courage that ordinary people can have.

For a hundred years, Liulichang has been a battleground for soldiers in the circle, and now there is West Street, with a lot of stores. In the past, there were only more than 20 stores on East Street, and those who could gain a foothold in this place were all top people!

At that time of the Republic of China, this was the favorite place for dignitaries and nobles in the capital, no matter what your identity is, you must be polite when you come here! This is the power of professionalism, if you don't understand it, it's a mallet, and no matter how rich you are, you can fool you.

However, at that time, the atmosphere in the antique circle was very good, and they were all literati and scholars, relying on a reputation. A lot of regular customers like what treasures, you can take them back and play for a few days, and you don't even have to hit the receipt! If you like it, you can send the money, and if you don't like it, as long as the thing is not broken, the original thing can be returned.

At that time, how many super collectors had a store in Liulichang, and Zhao Ruzhen, one of the six major collectors of the Republic of China and the king of ancient coins, is a fierce man who can support two or three private museums until now.

At that time, there were very few antique fakes, basically all of them were genuine, as long as you had eyesight, Ruyao also had the possibility of picking up leaks! Buying things is for collection, no one says anything about investment appreciation, people's hearts are very clean, and playing is a culture.

"Look at people, this is the style of a century-old store!"

Xu Zhiyuan walked to a wall, and at a casual glance, they were all masterpieces of Qi Baishi, Pan Tianshou, Xu Beihong and other masters, and the millions of treasures in the auction house didn't seem to be worth much, so it was a decoration here!

"At that time, many masters sold paintings here before they became famous, and at that time there was a unified Runge, and the more famous the Runge, the higher the Runge, especially Qi Baishi, whose works were basically sold by Rong Bao Zhai."

Xu Zhiyuan watched while introducing the situation to Su Mei, he is also a veteran now, especially in theory, and he is first-class.

During the civil strife of that year, Qi Baishi closed the door and did not come out, and also wrote a note from the old man Baishi's heart disease and stopped seeing guests on the door, and the side note: If you make a painting and engraving, please take over by Rong Bao Zhai. In fact, he did not have a heart attack, but used it to express his hatred for the invaders and his contempt for those who had lost their national integrity. He locked up in the house and painted and engraved as usual, as long as Rong Baozhai needed, he sent a young man to give more than a dozen paintings at a time. ”

"It is rumored that one day the old man was in high spirits and painted a few shrimps. When the manager of Rong Bao Zhai arrived at his house, he was stamping the painting. After stamping the stamp, he held the painting in front of a cabinet, took out the key from his waist, opened the cabinet, opened a porcelain box, sprinkled the cinnabar powder inside on the stamp that had just been marked with ink, shook back and forth to make the cinnabar powder stick to the place with ink, and then poured the excess powder back. ”

Suddenly, the cinnabar powder on the stamp protruded from the paper and became a three-dimensional stamp, and when he did this, he did not avoid the manager of Rong Bao Zhai. He locked the cabinet and said to the manager: "They are trying to imitate my paintings, and they want to distinguish the authenticity, and you can see it from the stamps." I've used stamps, but stamps can be faked. This method is not known to outsiders, and it is not allowed to be seen by others. ”

Su Mei smiled, looking at Xu Zhiyuan, who was talking eloquently, his heart fluttered, the confident man was the most charming, and there was a mysterious charm in close contact with him.

"The old man Baishi came to Rong Bao Zhai to chat whenever he had spare time, and every time he came to Rong Bao Zhai, he was always warmly received, and specially prepared high-quality snacks and fruits for him. In the end, the old man had the illusion that Rong Bao Zhai also sold oranges and snacks. Whenever a friend went to visit him, he introduced to his friend that he wanted to eat oranges and go to Rong Bao Zhai to buy them, and their oranges were delicious, and there were many girls there, and they were very enthusiastic. ”

The young man chimed in with him: "Two of you, please see, the plaque on the lintel of Rong Bao Zhai is written by the old man Baishi, and the huge plaque in the center of the hall "Carry forward the national culture" is also his own inscription. Our Rong Bao Zhai is now the most authentic place of Qi Baishi's works in the circle, and there are hundreds of Qi Baishi boutiques. ”

Su Mei said in a speech: "So a store is worth hundreds of millions? ”

"Hundreds of millions? You underestimate the current market of antiques! ”

Xu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Not to mention, no one knows how much Rong Bao Zhai's collection is?" Just this three-hundred-year-old gold signboard alone is more than a few hundred million! ”

Xu Zhiyuan turned around again and smiled at the young man: "Since Old Man Ouyang has something, then we will come to visit next time, and I will say goodbye to the second shopkeeper." ”
