Chapter 68: Ten million, you change your name
"Big brother also knows calligraphy and painting?"
"I got it from a young man last week, and it's a good copy."
Jiang Ge was a little surprised, as soon as Huang Shengyi came in, he saw the difference in this painting, and obviously had a good eye.
Hutchison's Manager Tang and the Fifteenth Master also said casually, "Yes, I didn't find out just now, this painting is really good, but the real "Luoxia Lonely Bird" is in the museum, and it is a little strange that Xiao Jiang still hangs this painting here." β
Jiang Ge wanted to explain something, but suddenly a few more people came into the room, looking at the store.
"This Wanbao Pavilion is too shabby, isn't it, there is nothing, this is also worthy of being called Wanbao Pavilion?"
"The pie is so big, I thought I had a lot of ability, but it was just a faΓ§ade."
The few people who came in were their counterparts on the nearby street, and one of them was Manager Qin of Wanbao Zhai, who looked at each other and commented on their faces.
"I'm sorry that the new store opened, and there were few things, which disappointed a few people." Jiang Ge replied euphemistically.
Manager Qin didn't look at him but walked to Huang Shengyi's side to say hello, "Boss Huang is so Yaxing, I rarely see you go out, and the whole street is fresh when you come." β
"My little brother is opening a good business, and I, the eldest brother, are naturally going to cheer, and I hope you will take care of it." Huang Shengyi politely did not forget to say a word for Jiang Ge.
"Well said, well said!"
Hearing Huang Shengyi's words, several people secretly thought about it, and extinguished their thoughts of finding faults.
This Wanbao Pavilion has a platform of Huang Shengyi, and the relationship between Su Fifteen of Feibao Pavilion and Manager Tang, so it is naturally not muddy.
"Boss Jiang, the name of your store is Wanbaoge, which is one word different from my Wanbao Zhai, what does it mean?"
Manager Qin was very unhappy in his heart, because there was only one word difference between Wanbaoge and Wanbaozhai, and he felt that Jiang Ge was deliberate.
"Lao Qin, it's not right for you to say this, the culture of the Dragon Kingdom is broad and profound, and there is only a world of difference between one word, can't Boss Jiang take this name?"
Su Wufu couldn't help but speak, and he also saw that Manager Qin was obviously here to hold him accountable.
"Su Fifteen is right, Manager Qin, your heart is too small, this name itself is freedom, and the law does not stipulate that it cannot be taken like this."
Huang Shengyi also spoke.
Seeing this, Jiang Ge naturally couldn't remain silent, so he explained, "Manager Qin, don't think too much, I just liked this name when I took this name, the so-called Wanbao... Wanbao, in line with our style of making jade antiques, so I took this. β
"Who knows if you are rubbing my Wanbao Zhai's fame, this is a typical provocation of my Wanbao Zhai." Manager Qin was a little angry, and couldn't help but darken his face in front of Huang Shengyi.
He also came with a purpose this time, that is, to ask Jiang Ge to change his name.
"Haha, what you say, I remember that Wanbao Zhai's reputation is average, is it worth my rubbing, can you say that your store is the same as Ding Tianxia?"
Jiang Ge smiled, and then realized that there was indeed a suspicion of gaining fame, but so what, this is not illegal.
"Hmph, although my Wanbao Zhai is not as good as the world, but it is also one of the best old shops on this street, and it is obviously a problem for you to choose this name."
"In this way, you change the name, I, Wanbao Zhai, am willing to pay 10 million to buy this store name."
Manager Qin pretended to be pensive and said the necessary purpose.
Hearing this, Jiang Ge couldn't help laughing, "Ten million? It seems that I, Jiang Ge, don't lack this 10 million, Manager Tang, you should keep the money for the elderly. β
His face gradually turned cold, and he was asked to change his name when he opened, isn't this a proper slap in the face, so he no longer pretends to smile.
"Jiang Ge, are you sure you won't change it?" Manager Qin asked with a dark face.
"Enough!"
At this moment, Huang Shengyi spoke, and looked at Manager Qin coldly, "I don't know if this idea is your own or the one behind you, if it's yours, it's too much, if it's your boss's meaning, it's stupid, let him settle down, if you're really dissatisfied, come to me." β
As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Ge again, "Brother, I don't bother you if I have something to do, just call me if anyone is looking for trouble." β
"Thank you big brother for taking care of me, you go slowly, I'll ask you to have dinner another day." Jiang Ge hurriedly responded, Huang Shengyi, as a big man on one side, has already expressed his attitude, and he is very careful, so there is no need to trouble the other party anymore.
"Hmm." Huang Shengyi nodded, didn't look at the people present, turned around and left, there was no need to let go of his current position.
As soon as he left, Manager Qin's face became more and more gloomy, "A shop is not supported by a name, you have to have real skills, blocking stones and antiques are two industries, as long as you can survive as a small family." β
"You don't have to worry about it." Jiang Ge responded coldly.
"Boss Jiang, where did you get this "Lonely Picture of Luoxia", the payment is Xu Guangqi, but is it true?"
At this moment, a middle-aged man asked, his eyes a little solemn.
He came with Manager Qin, and he didn't care about this picture, after all, the real thing is in the museum.
But looking at it, I feel that it is not simple, especially notice that the seal on it is actually Xu Guangqi, the seal font of this seal is very small, it is difficult to find without looking closely, and most people are too lazy to look at it if it is an imitation.
But he felt that it was not right, it was destined to be difficult for Jiang Ge to hang this painting in such a conspicuous position.
I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.
It was actually Xu Guangqi, a famous figure he had heard of, and his influence was far-reaching, and his works must be worth a lot of money, even if they were imitations, they were sky-high.
"It is indeed Xu Guangqi's work, I received it from his descendants, and it is said that he liked Tang Bohu's paintings very much, so he imitated the work, which is the only one that has been handed down." Jiang Ge explained.
As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of several other people also changed.
"It's actually Xu Guangqi's work, if it's true, it's worth a lot."
"At first, we didn't look closely, and I said how could it be so obvious."
Su fifteen people also instantly surrounded and began to look at this painting, they are all old players in the jade antique world, and their appreciation ability is not low, the more they look at it, the more they feel like it, especially the inscription on it is like Xu Guangqi's handwriting.
"Boss Jiang, I am Tan Shuncheng, the account manager of Hongyuan Auction House, I think the value of this painting is very objective, I can personally buy your painting for 30 million, or you can also sell it at the auction house." Tan Shuncheng looked serious, quickly estimated the value and made a decision, in his opinion, this painting is really undoubted.
"Thirty million, Brother Jiang, you have made a good start, and there will be business coming to you as soon as you open."
Manager Tang of Hutchison Pawnshop looked envious, and Su Shifu was also surprised, obviously he didn't expect Jiang Ge to have this eye for antiques.
"Thirty million?" Jiang Ge pursed his lips tightly and didn't speak, in his opinion, 30 million is too little, and the value of this painting is definitely not worth 30 million.
So he asked, "How long will I have to wait if I take it to auction?" How many can you get? β
Tan Shuncheng hurriedly said, "The next auction of our auction house will be half a month later, if the market is good, the value of this painting will be about 60 million, after all, it is an imitation of other people's works, without their own thoughts, if it is Xu Guangqi's own work, the value is higher, maybe hundreds of millions are possible." β
