Chapter 124: Becoming a Local Tyrant (1100 First Orders and Updates)
Ling Tiancheng stood up and said with a straight face: "I started to build the memory palace at the age of twelve, and now it has been a full thirty years, do you think I can be confident?"
Wen Yiming couldn't help but sigh, successful people must have success! Not to mention anything else, just this memory, Ling Tiancheng is definitely beyond ordinary people.
"So many times the old man's appraisal relies on intuition and experience, and I can only rely on memory and data, although it is not up to his level, but it is also mixed with the past. ”
Ling Tiancheng walked to the bookshelf, took out a few books about the memory palace, handed them to Wen Yiming and said, "You go back to study and research, you are interested in discussing with me, for you incense masters, I suggest that you set up a laboratory, first familiarize yourself with the materials and steps, and then slowly increase the variety, and finally you will definitely be able to achieve the same effect." ”
Wen Yiming nodded, he didn't accept the guilt of the master, if he could also establish a memory palace and cooperate with the super-olfactory sense, wouldn't it be invincible!
What's more, now that the meridians are opened, the mental and physical strength surpasses ordinary people, and it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, Ling Tiancheng will use it for decades, and he may be able to do it in a few years.
He looked at the antique books on several large shelves, and said with bad intentions: "You are usually so busy, you shouldn't have time to read, ......right?"
"You kid!" Ling Tiancheng scolded with a smile: "Okay, take it if you like it!" Anyway, the more you know, the better, the next step is to go to the capital to open up the market, you are my killer weapon!"
Call and ask your subordinates to help move the books, a whole car, and send them directly to your home, so that you can make up for your antique knowledge. For him, the identification is much simpler, and others must first judge the authenticity based on knowledge, and then they can explain the details.
And he knows the truth and falsehood directly through his sense of smell, and then corresponds to the specific details and knowledge, which is countless times less difficult.
According to Wen Yiming's plan, antiques are one of the indispensable skills, and incense is too expensive to burn, and it is not a project that ordinary rich people can afford at all. The more you go on, the more you need to meet top collectors in order to develop enough contacts to continue to support the practice of incense.
In other words, for people and resources, it is the focus of his business, as for money? In other words, for people who are really powerful, what can be solved with money is not a problem!
Now his house is given by Jin Dafu, the car and driver are matched by Ling Tiancheng, the money is earned by Yaxiangju, and even the villa Hu Jianmin wants to send it several times, but he doesn't ask for it!
Thinking of this, Wen Yiming became more and more confident, no matter who you are, I have a burner of incense, what do you exchange it for?
As soon as the books were sorted out, the phone rang, and it was Yan Sihai, saying that there was something to meet Wen Yiming. Let the driver drive to Sihai Tower and see Yan Sihai and another old man.
"Come, let me introduce, this is Li Guang, a veteran miscellaneous collector, my friend. ”
After speaking, he pointed to Wen Yiming, and said: "Lao Li, this is the incense master I told you, Mr. Wen, my honored guest!"
Li Guang is not tall, with a fat head and big ears, and a shrewd face, and took the initiative to greet him: "Mr. Wen, I have been listening to Brother Yan's praise, and I finally have the opportunity to meet today, I am very honored." ”
Wen Yiming smiled and said modestly: "Old Li is polite, please take care of me in the future!"
Yan Sihai asked the two to sit down, personally arranged the tea table, and greeted: "Everyone is your own person, you don't have to be polite, chat while sipping tea." ”
After speaking, he looked at Wen Yiming and explained: "Last time I heard Mr. say that he wanted to collect rhino horn? It just so happens that Lao Li likes to collect miscellaneous, especially this strange animal product, so I will introduce you to each other, and it will be convenient for communication in the future." ”
Wen Yiming said gratefully: "Thank you Yan Lao for your trouble, you know that the incense fee materials, I will not refuse the incense materials." ”
Li Guang's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he said with some excitement: "Mr. Wen, since everyone is their own people, I also have something to say, the company's turnover has been poor recently, and it needs funds, so some collections want to be sold." It's just that Yan Lao is matchmaking, don't talk nonsense, let's look at things and talk!"
After speaking, he took out a few things from the box and put them on the table, with different shapes, cups, ornaments, and a piece of raw materials.
"Yes, it's all authentic rhino horn!"
Wen Yiming picked it up and checked it, nodded and said with satisfaction: "Li Lao is worthy of being a great collector, these are all rhino horn products of the Qing Dynasty, the cup is of the best quality, followed by the ornaments, as for this raw material, the year is decades later." ”
"Connoisseur!"
Li Lao gave a thumbs up and exclaimed: "Mr. Wen is worthy of being a master of incense, his eyesight is amazing, and Li admires him." ”
"Rhino horn has been rare since ancient times, and now it is banned all over the world, and it is only allowed to be traded for more than 80 years. These pieces are my life's gains, although they are not for the royal court, they are also rare things!"
Yan Sihai secretly gave Wen Yiming a look, signaling that the other party was a pure businessman, this time it was to sell the collection, Wen Yiming knew it in his heart, and said with a smile: "That's natural, otherwise you don't have to bother Yan Lao, everything is good, make a price." ”
"This ......" Li Guang looked at Yan Sihai and said politely: "Mr. is a distinguished guest of Old Yan, then let's have a fixed price, all six million, how about it?"
"Six million ......" Wen Yiming thought for a while, nodded and said: "No problem, six million deals, but I still have a request, if there is this kind of material in the future, how about Li Lao give priority to Wen?"
"Okay, happy!" Li Guang didn't expect Wen Yiming to be so refreshing, he agreed to the offer directly without blinking an eye, and said excitedly: "Since Mr. is righteous, then Li will not hide his secrets, please rest assured, there will be the first contact with Mr. in the future." ”
Wen Yiming nodded, although he knew that the other party's offer was not low, and he still had room for bargaining, but according to the experience that Ling Tiancheng said, when he met someone who could trade for a long time, the first time he bought and sold must be magnificent!
The first impression is very important, if it gives people a feeling of generosity and pride, then it will be much easier to trade in the future, and you can get more resources, who doesn't like rich local tyrants?
After completing the transaction, Li Guang was a little excited, and took out three bowl-sized things from the box, which were pale yellow and full of fluff, which was very peculiar.
Wen Yiming nodded secretly, this is the real reason why he didn't bargain, he had already smelled that there was still a cat in the box, and he was finally willing to take it out?
"Sir, please see, this is the musk harvested in the early years, although the year is not long, but the quality is good, I don't know if you are interested?"
Wen Yiming swept the musk, and said a little coldly: "Well, musk is not a rare thing, there are a lot of artificial breeding now, I have a supply there, since Li Lao wants to make a move, I'll take a look?"
After speaking, he picked up a piece casually, looked at it briefly, put it down and picked up the other two, and said casually: "Musk is dried from the secretions in the male glandular sac of the cercer musk deer, and it is a high-grade spice. Musk is not only pleasantly aromatic, but also long-lasting. ”
"Warm, non-toxic, bitter taste. It enters the heart, spleen, and liver meridians, and has the functions of opening the body, dispelling filth, clearing the channels, and dispersing stasis. ”
"The hunting season is from October to March, but the quality of the hunters is better in November, when the secretion is thick. Hunting is usually done with gunshots, arrows, traps, rope lases, etc. After capture, the umbilical gland sac of the male musk deer is cut off with the skin, the impurities such as the fur are picked up, dried in the shade, and then the hair is cut short, which is the whole fragrance. ”
"These three pieces are all horse musk, collected live, the year is no more than thirty years, not considered the top grade, but the quality is acceptable, open a price!"
