Chapter 44 Painting Appreciation
Then, Huang Youcai suggested that he take the painting of Wen Zhengming to "Little Pigtail Li" and look at it, and then determine the authenticity first. There was no objection to this, so a few people drove to the gallery of "Braided Lee".
"Little Pigtail Li" was drinking tea with the miscellaneous collector Lao Wei and the calligraphy and painting dealer Boss Chang, and they didn't know what interesting things they talked about, and the three of them couldn't stop laughing.
Although a long time has passed since the incident of "violin", Qian Yongqiang still felt uncomfortable when he saw "pigtail Li", and his heart panicked.
Seeing Qian Yongqiang and the other four people coming in, the scene suddenly quieted down. "Little Pigtail Li" got up and let Qian Yongqiang and a few people to the side of the seat, and asked with a smile while serving tea: "Look at a few people with red faces, are you rich again?" β
"Hehe, whether you get rich or not, it depends on whether you Boss Li gives it or not!" Huang Youcai gently patted the backpack in front of him and said.
"Haha, it's not to see if my Lao Li is strong, in the final analysis, it depends on whether your goods are strong or not. What baby? Take it out and show me. "Little Pigtail Li" wiped his hand on the placket repeatedly, looked at Huang Youcai's backpack, and showed a monkey anxious look.
Huang Youcai opened the bag, carefully took out the painting, and when he spread out the newspaper, the picture was spread out, and the whole painting revealed the true face of Lushan, the expression of "Little Pigtail Li" became solemn, and a pair of eyes stared at the painting hall for a long time.
Seeing the appearance of "pigtail Li", Qian Yongqiang and the other four people were nervous and did not dare to come out.
"Uncle Wei, Lao Chang, you two come and have a look!" After a long while, "Little Pigtail Li" raised his hand to greet Lao Wei and Boss Chang, who were sitting at another table. But he didn't take his eyes off the painting for a moment.
Lao Wei and Boss Chang walked over with a smile, the two stood beside "Little Pigtail Li", stretched out their heads and looked forward, this look was not tight, the eyes of the two were immediately attracted to the past, and gradually their expressions were like "Little Pigtail Li", solemn.
After a while, the three of them raised their heads and looked at each other, all of them smiling wryly and shaking their heads silently.
"Uncle Wei, Lao Chang, what do you think of this thing?" "Little Pigtail Li" cast an inquiring glance at Lao Wei and Boss Chang.
"I'm engaged in a lot of projects, and calligraphy and painting are not my specialtyγγγγγγ Well, you'd better ask Lao Chang. Lao Wei shook his head, walked to the side and sat down, drinking tea alone, expressionless and thoughtful.
"Little Pigtail Li" scratched his head: "Lao Chang, what do you see?" β
Boss Chang looked at Qian Yongqiang and a few people, and then looked at "Little Pigtail Li", and said cautiously: "I don't think there is a problem!" Of course, this is your business, not a small business, you have to make your own decisions! β
"Little Pigtail Li" looked at Qian Yongqiang and asked, "Is there no problem with the way things come from?" β
Qian Yongqiang asked rhetorically: "Boss Li, you are also a big man in the industry in Nanjing, why did you ask such an extremely naΓ―ve question today?" β
Huang Youcai added: "As the saying goes, 'Heroes don't ask where they come from, and calligraphy and painting don't ask where they come from'!" β
"Little Pigtail Lee" smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't feel that there are no outsiders with my brothers, so I asked this question!" β
Qian Yongqiang said: "Boss Li, the source of our goods is not easy to say, but from my point of view, there is no problem with the way to come!" β
"Good!" "Little Pigtail Lee" twisted a few short whiskers on his chin and muttered, "There is no problem with the way you cameγγγγγγ β
Qian Yongqiang saw the appearance of "pigtail Li", and his heart began to feel uneasy.
Huang Youcai approached "Little Pigtail Li" and asked softly, "Boss Li, is the thing right?" β
"To be honest, I'm not sure about this one, I'm really not sure! I'd like to find another person to see, can you see it? β
"Boss Li, I said you people, you people usually brag about it, what kind of ghost city is the first master, the second master, why don't you support your legs at a critical time?" Huang Youcai teased.
"Rhubarb, you're not right. Is this a matter of three money, two money? You've come to me to sell for a good price. If I don't look for authority, I don't dare to accept it! "Little Pigtail Li" said, "It's not like you receiving the goods at the acquisition station, even being deceived and deceiving, and sending people away with three melons and two dates!" β
"'Pigtail Lee', what are you talking about?" Huang Youcai's black face turned red, "Our receipt at the acquisition station is also fair and just, and we do business with real money." It's just that we usually run more diligently than you and collect more goods! β
"Okay, okay, Xiao Huang, what I just said is a bit excessive, please don't take it to heart!" "Little Pigtail Li" patted Huang Youcai's arm and said apologetically.
"Boss Li, do you know how much we bought this painting?" Huang Youcai was still angry, and asked "pigtail Li" loudly.
"How much did you buy it?" "Little Pigtail Li" asked casually, seemingly unintentional, but actually intentional.
Seeing that Huang Youcai was excited, he was about to show his old bottom, Qian Yongqiang hurriedly stopped: "Huang Youcai, how much did we spend to buy this painting, you just told Boss Li to listen, Boss Li won't believe it, don't say it, save Boss Li from saying that you don't tell the truth!" You said that until now, your mouth is dry, so let's sit down and taste Boss Li's tea! β
When Huang Youcai heard Qian Yongqiang say this, he woke up and hurriedly sat aside, bowed his head and said nothing, secretly blaming himself in his heart: "I almost made a big mistake!" If you explain the old bottom just now, the business below will be difficult to discuss. If you buy something for 20,000 yuan, and ask someone for 100,000 yuan, they must be unbalanced in their hearts! β
Qian Yongqiang said: "Boss Li, you just said to look for authority, I think it's okay, you can call someone, let's sit here and wait." β
Qian Yongqiang signaled Huang Youcai not to say anything radical. Doing business with "pigtail Li" is a matter that often comes and goes east, not a 'hammer' deal, it is best to do it clearly, and everyone will continue to do business in the future.
In fact, he was too worried, and at this time, Huang Youcai was immersed in self-reflection and had no time to take care of anything else.
Qian Yongqiang thought to himself: "'Little Pigtail Li'" If you want to find the authority to palm, let him find it, if the authority is gone, you can't blame us; If the authority sees that this thing is wrong, we can only consider ourselves unlucky! β
"How can an authority person say that he can shout it, he has to make an appointment." "Pigtail Lee" smiled wryly.
"Okay, then you make an appointment first, and we can come over at any time!" Qian Yongqiang motioned to Huang Youcai to put the painting away.
"Okay, okay! I'll let you know when I've made an appointment. "Little Pigtail Lee" looked at his watch and said, "It's not too early, let's eat a bowl of noodles together and then leave?" β
Huang Youcai laughed "fluttering": "You are such a big boss, you have never invited us to a meal for a thousand years, only a bowl of noodles?" β
"What's wrong with the noodles?" "Little Pigtail Li" was very puzzled why Huang Youcai was so resistant to eating noodles, "The noodles are delicious, I often eat noodles!" β
Qian Yongqiang shook the hand of "pigtail Li" and said: "Boss Li, don't bother today, we will do this business another day, we invite you!" β
"Please go to the Grand Hotel for a drink!" Huang Youcai said loudly, "I don't invite you to eat noodles." Hmph, pick the rope! β
"Okay, okay!" "Little Pigtail Lee" said with a red face, "Those people are waiting for my news, and someone has arrived, and I will contact you immediately!" β
"Okay, goodbye!" A few people walked out as they spoke.
"Wait a minute." Lao Wei suddenly stood up and blocked everyone's way. He asked, "How much do you want to sell this painting?" β
Qian Yongqiang glanced at "Little Pigtail Li" and said in his heart: "In Little Pigtail Li's shop, is it unruly for you Lao Wei to ask like this?" β
Hearing Lao Wei's question, "Little Pigtail Li" was stunned for a moment, and his face was gloomy.
"Old nephew, don't get me wrong, I think so, if the thing is not expensive, we will leave it, and don't look for any authority, so as to save you a lot of dreams at night. If you let others 'cut off the beard', then it will be too late to regret it! β
"We left him behind? What do we mean? The three of us? "Little Pigtail Li" pointed to Boss Chang who was sitting next to him and asked.
Lao Wei said: "If you don't want to, this is your business, and it's in your shop, just let me say nothing!"
Boss Chang first waved his hand and said, "I don't mix!" β
"Little Pigtail Li" was silent, and what Lao Wei said was not unreasonable. This one is out of his gallery, and the variables are great.
Although Qian Yongqiang promised to let him find an authoritative palm, it is inevitable that there will be unruly people who cut off his beard. There was no contract signed between him and Qian Yongqiang, and no deposit was paid. The initiative is still in their hands.
"How much do you want to sell?" "Little Pigtail Li" asked Qian Yongqiang in a low voice.
"One hundred thousand!" Qian Yongqiang looked at Huang Youcai and the other three, and said firmly to "Little Pigtail Li".
"Little Pigtail Li" smacked his lips, "Uncle Wei, what do you see?" β
Lao Wei smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly: "You better find someone to watch!" β
Out of the gallery of "Braided Plum", several people have mixed feelings in their hearts, although full of infinite hope, but the haze of disappointment is also shrouded in their hearts at the same time.
A few people didn't have the heart to receive the goods. I don't want to go out, and I don't feel comfortable sitting at home.
Qian Yongqiang and Li Qiming squatted in the room, one holding a book in his hand, flipping through it carelessly; Wang Ziren stood in the corner of the courtyard and practiced his kung fu "hey, hey, haha"; Huang Youcai was shirtless and vented in the other corner of the yard to the sandbag he had just bought.
"Knock knock!" There was a knock on the door outside.
"This door will be smashed sooner or later!" Huang Youcai skimmed the sandbag and opened the door very reluctantly, "Who is it, buy books when you buy books, you are all cultural people, you can't knock on the door!" β
"It's me, Xiao Huang, open the door!"
Huang Youcai opened the door and couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Why are you, Boss Zhu?" β
Every time Huang Youcai saw Boss Zhu, he had to laugh for a while. When Boss Zhu is happy, he smiles; When Boss Zhu was unhappy, he secretly laughed - the kind that laughed in his stomach. And then a nondescript military salute. This time I saw that Boss Zhu was knocking on the door, and his anger was gone.
"I'm not buying books today, I'm in a hurry. What about the little money? Boss Zhu walked into the courtyard in a panic, looking around with his two eyes.
"What are you looking for a little money?" Huang Youcai grinned, "Let me laugh for a while." β
"You're laughing! I have something urgent today, hurry up and take me to find a little money! Huang Youcai saw that Boss Zhu was not in the mood to joke today, and immediately turned his bright smile into a secret laugh.
"Lao Zhu, if you don't come today, we will go to you tomorrow!" Qian Yongqiang heard the movement and hurriedly walked out of the house. "I promised to go out with you some time ago, and now I happen to be free!"
"That's great, we'll leave tomorrow. However, I am in a hurry to come today with one more important thing to tell you. βγ
"What's more important?"
"Do you remember an adventure I told you about one time when I was drinking at my place?"
"The time you ran away from your shoes?" Qian Yongqiang joked, "Remember." But this time there are a lot of us, and two of them are practicing martial arts, don't be afraid! β
"No, you're done listening to me!" Boss Zhu said, "Guess who I just met?" β
"You said that adventure, but you ran into γγγγγγγ again"
"Yes, they are coming to Nanjing!"
Qian Yongqiang nodded.
Huang Youcai grinned loudly and said, "What should I do?" You're all old yellow calendars, we've already met those people! β
"You've already touched it?" Boss Zhu looked at Huang Youcai in surprise, his eyes widened, "How did you encounter it?" When did you come across it? β
Qian Yongqiang let Boss Zhu into the house and briefly talked about what happened to the worker Xiao Li the night before.
"I feel that these people are the same people who cheated you in Beijing, and of course they are also the people who want to mess with me in the ghost market - since I didn't succeed in that time, these people have been following me!"
Huang Youcai on the side said with a disdainful face: "Just these few people, what is there to be afraid of?" According to me, if he doesn't come to us, we're going to find them! It turned out that my brother was alone, and they were easy to bully. Now who is afraid of who is not certain! β
"It's not something to be afraid of, if you are bare-handed, even if you come three more, you are not afraid. But there's a guy in them! Wang Ziren said with some concern. It's not easy to do, if you don't get it right, you'll die! β
Li Qiming said: "Then we will also prepare some guys." β
"Good!" Huang Youcai went to the corner of the wall to find a wooden stick and shouted at everyone, "How is this thing?" Take advantage of it! β
