Chapter 11: Not for Sale!
One hundred and fifty thousand!
Everyone gasped when they heard this, especially the people who were the happiest who had laughed at Ling Xiao before, all of them shut up, and the middle-aged man's voice was like thunder, and the ears of the few people were buzzing.
How can there be such a thing? It's just a word, and in just a few minutes, it has already raised a sky-high price!
Most of the people present were ordinary people, and 150,000 yuan was a lot of money for everyone, but the middle-aged man shouted out without even blinking his eyes.
Gao Dingguo, general manager of contemptible ocean commerce, loves calligraphy since childhood because of his father's edification, and today he has to see the master himself, which is a blessing for three lives. β
The middle-aged man was wearing a well-dressed suit, which was worth a lot of money at first glance, and with the two tall and sturdy black-faced bodyguards beside him, a fool could also see that this person had an extraordinary background.
However, when the middle-aged man really revealed his identity, everyone present was shocked.
"Ocean Commerce?
"Tsk, the descendants of the king of the inland ships, why did they come to this City God Temple without any trouble......?
"Who is this young man, the descendants of the old ship king are so respectful to him!
Among the crowd who were still disdainful of Ling Xiao before, a different voice suddenly came out, and some people already suspected that Ling Xiao had deliberately concealed his identity to entertain the public.
Isn't there often such entertainment programs on television now? A certain king drove his own car as a driver to pull people, a certain day later appeared in a small mountain village in a low-key manner to have fun with the people, or a certain tycoon in tattered clothes mixed with the migrant workers, and so on.
Could it be that a certain prince of Yanjing was recognized by the general manager of Sino-Ocean Commerce, and in order to cover up his embarrassment, he spent a huge amount of money to make a fool of himself?
It has to be said that the imagination of the masses of the people is too rich.
Listening to everyone's whispering, Ling Xiao was completely speechless, he just came to buy something and write a word, who would have thought that he could cause such a big storm?
If you want to say who is the calmest person here now, it must belong to the white-haired old man among them.
Even after Gao Dingguo revealed his identity, the old man was only slightly surprised in his eyes and then returned to normal.
"Alas, people are old, and they usually like to write and draw when they are fine, the little brother's words I like tightly, and I don't let the little brother suffer, how about 200,000?"
Just when everyone was muttering, the old man's voice sounded again, and at this time, not only the onlookers, but even Gao Dingguo and Ling Xiao felt surprised.
Who is this old man? What is the origin? Even after knowing Gao Dingguo's identity, he did not give in?
Gao Dingguo's eyes flickered, looking at the white-haired old man in front of him, he was a little uncertain in his heart, but according to his own judgment, this old man should be the right one who didn't know Ling Xiao originally, and he was definitely not the kind of person looking for someone to pretend to be.
Not to mention anything else, such a word, but also really worth this price, from the calligraphy alone, only the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty Xiangguang monks of the Yan Ti Kaishu can be compared with it, in the future there is a great room for value-added.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Three hundred thousand!"
"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"
"500,000, I want it!" ......
The surrounding crowd was already numb, looking at the two people who had already been on the bar, I was a little speechless, I will continue to pay the price after you finish, and every time you bid it is 50,000, the money really became a number at this moment, and finally the old man was even more ruthless, and directly added 150,000 yuan.
This is undoubtedly a huge blow to everyone, before everyone looked down on the young man, thinking that this is a liar, who would have thought, after coming and going, this has become a contemporary calligrapher.
And I suspect that the real identity behind this young man is far more than that, it is suspected that it is a certain prince of Yanjing, and for a while, many people took out the phone and began to call friends, wanting their relatives and friends to witness the miracle.
"Stop, stop!"
Ling Xiao stopped, seeing that these two people have raised the price to 500,000, according to this, more than one million is not a dream, you know, a pair of great painters and calligraphers in the Ming and Qing dynasties are only at this price, it is conceivable how much these two people love Ling Xiao's regular script, and in the end, Ling Xiao, the original author, was cooled aside.
Sure enough, Gao Dingguo and the old man couldn't help but be embarrassed when they heard this, these two people just thought about bidding, and the owner of the family hadn't said whether they would sell it or not.
"The kindness of the two...... I got it, but I didn't think I'd sell this word, buddy!"
Ling Xiao's smile was more ugly than crying, he had an urge to ride a tiger, didn't he see the people around him look like idiots when they saw him say this?
Who are you messing with? I just want to write a pair to set up a stall!
"Master, I am sincere, my father's birthday is coming, please read it on the sake of Gao's filial piety, and ask the master to fulfill the ......"
Hearing Ling Xiao say this, Gao Dingguo was a little anxious, the old man's lifelong hobby is calligraphy, and he lamented that he could not see the birth of contemporary calligraphy masters in his lifetime when he was young, which was regarded as the biggest regret in his life.
Now this young man's handwriting, that is more than the so-called "calligraphy and painting" of the Xiangguang layman, if it reaches the calligraphy world, it will definitely cause a 12-magnitude earthquake.
I was fortunate enough to see but I couldn't bring back the handwriting of the 'master', if my father knew about it, he wouldn't break his legs? Just thinking about it, Gao Dingguo was sweating all over.
"Hehe, if the two of you really want to write in the next picture, we can now ask the boss to take out all the four treasures of the best study in the store, and the kid simply writes a pair again, no money, just give it to you." β
Ling Xiao was surrounded by everyone, and he was really annoyed, and said with helplessness in his tone.
"That, little brother, I like this one, brother, you can give it to me if you look at it, and you can write another one when you go back, don't worry, brother, I won't take advantage of you, how about a million words?"
"Master, I'...... I also want this one, the price is negotiable......"
Neither of them is short of money, and it is clear that they are going to settle on the picture in front of them, which can't help but make Ling Xiao embarrassed.
"These two people are really strange, the 'masters' of the people have promised them to write another one and send it, and they don't need money, why are these two people still rushing to send money, this young man should not really be a certain prince of Yanjing, right?"
"Although this word is beautifully written, it is a bit exaggerated to say that it is worth millions, besides, what is the name of the great calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty 'Xiangguang Jushi'?
Looking at the posture in front of them, the people couldn't hide their gossip nature again, and pouted their lips one after another, letting the two of them fight for '', and watched the excitement.
"Hey, what's this called!"
In the rear, the shopkeeper has already been squeezed into the corner by the crowd watching the excitement, looking at more and more people watching the excitement, I can't help but stand aside and smile bitterly, thinking about how aggrieved my boss is, now there are more people, but they are not here to buy things!
"These idiots!"
At this moment, the shopkeeper's son couldn't help cursing in a low voice, which provoked the shopkeeper to be puzzled for a while, and couldn't help but look at his son and say, "What do you say?"
If you really want to talk about it, your son has been practicing calligraphy for more than three years, and if you want to say that many people on the scene know a little about calligraphy, they are not bad for their son, and they can't help but ask curiously.
"This ...... Although the master is young, but if his calligraphy is taken to the outside world, it is a matter of time before he becomes famous, and there will definitely be no fewer words left in the future, and now millions can receive the true handwriting of the 'master' can not be regarded as a loss, but in a lifetime, the master's handwriting on the ordinary brown cloth is probably not in the majority, and may even be the only one in the world in the future, how can it be compared with a million? After all, rare things are expensive, and compared with paper, this brown cloth is also easier to preserve. β
"Furthermore, Dad, do you know who this 'Xiangguang Layshi' is? That is Dong Qichang, who was known as the best in calligraphy and painting at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and now a genuine painting of Dong Qichang is definitely worth more than five million, which can be compared to the characters like Taishan Beidou in the calligraphy and painting world, and the appreciation space of his handwriting in the future can be imagined......
After some explanation by his son, the shopkeeper and a few people around him realized that there were so many ways in the middle of the young man's words.
"Two, two and listen to the next word, first of all, this character is just a boy's casual work, not so expensive, the words of the book are the words of the rivers and lakes, and they are not elegant!"
"Secondly, this is the faΓ§ade of the boy's future business, if he is given to the two, then what is the matter? Doesn't it mean that he will cut off his own door?
Ling Xiao shook his head, pulled the brown cloth out of the big hands of the two of them one by one, and slowly told the two.
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly remembered, Gao Dingguo and the old man even slapped their foreheads, how could they forget this stubble? This guy once said before, people's main business is fortune tellers, and this good hand can only be regarded as a dispensable side job at best!
What is this called? Mingzhu secretly invested? Or is it not doing business? What is it really more angry than others!
And when it comes to this, Ling Xiao's meaning is very clear, in fact, it is just two words, not for sale!
Having said that, who wants to sell their storefront these days? How unlucky is it that it hasn't opened on the first day?
"Of course, since the two of you value the kid's calligraphy so much, the kid will be ugly today, and improvise a few words for the two of them to take a look at and keep as a souvenir, what about the boss?"
After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he began to search for the figure of the shopkeeper in the crowd, after all, the crowd around him was surging, and at this moment, the originally loose storefront was crowded with hundreds of people.
"Hey, the master is here, I'm here? Do you want to leave a word, it just so happens that my small shop because of the dog's practice of calligraphy, also into some fine pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., just a few days ago, I arrived a batch of fine raw rice paper, which is really a coincidence. β
The shopkeeper didn't say how enthusiastic he was at the moment, he seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and after speaking, he hugged a knife of raw rice paper with a very good condition, which made people feel that this boss really has a vision!
"Since Mr. Gao's father, the old ship king, is about to have a big birthday, the kid will write a big 'longevity' to give to the old man, in contrast, this is also the right situation, I hope the old ship king is as blessed as the East China Sea Shoubi Nanshan!"
"The old man is old, and the younger generation also has a good sentence, please help me appreciate it! β
"Of course, it coincides with the meeting, the shopkeeper, I also left the four big words 'prosperous business' to wish the boss a prosperous business!"
Ling Xiao said, his hand was already moving, with a stroke of the pen, a few square regular scripts had already taken shape, and the old man and Gao Dingguo on the side were amazed, quite unfinished.
In this way, this is also a great joy for all!
Of course, among them, the shopkeeper was the happiest, and he originally wanted to ask for words, but he didn't expect this young 'master' to be so good, this time he was really both famous and profitable, so he naturally couldn't close his mouth with a smile.
And the people who were fortunate enough to witness all this at the scene were also affected and stimulated one by one, and began to act in literature and drama after returning home, which is naturally a later story.
