Chapter 122: The Turmoil Continues
In the evening, the exhibition room was almost dispersed, and only a few people remained in the huge room.
Glancing at the clock on the wall, Yan Facai had already figured out how to spend the bonus.
"The old lady's back is always hunched, it has rained a lot recently, and she always shouts about back pain, which is really reassuring, and after a while, take her to the big hospital to see what the doctors say."
"You can also pull a single dress for your mother-in-law, how long has it been in the summer, and your mother-in-law is still wearing clothes that are out of season, as soon as she says that she will add clothes, she will turn my face, and the number is endless, alas, I am suffering from it in this life."
"The female baby in the family is also not small, I heard that Professor Tuocheng's blessing, the female babies can go to college this year, this is to grit their teeth, and they have to supply the female baby, they all say that the girl does not need to go to school, just grow up and find a good mother-in-law's house, I think the backer will fall, everyone will run, only yourself is the most reliable."
Before he could finish the calculations, his subordinates were hugging each other, just you pushing me, and I pushing you.
Yan Facai, who was leaning against the wall, saw these guys coming around and asked, "What's the matter, you haven't gotten off work yet, why don't you work hard and come around?" ”
The subordinates looked at each other, gave up their positions to the leader, and said with a smile: "Boss Yan, you are so majestic today, I see that those gentlemen were shocked, and the brothers have no other meaning, they just want to come and see you." ”
are all subordinates who have followed him for many years, and they still don't know what kind of urine they have, so they said angrily: "Zhang Mazi, as soon as you pout your butt, I know what kind of shit you are going to poop, hurry up, is the wine worm in your stomach starting to spin again?" ”
Seeing this, Zhang Mazi no longer concealed it, and said with a cheeky smile: "The boss has fiery eyes, just like Mr. Storyteller said, it is the reincarnation of Sun Monkey, which is really powerful." In fact, it's not just me who is addicted to alcohol, but also the sea, Qiangzi, and Lao Huang."
Good guy, betraying his teammates in front of the boss, Zhang Mazi's mouth never slipped away like this again.
If the vision can be substantial, every time he says it, a hole will be poked in the back.
Before he could finish speaking, Yan Facai threw over a small bag of change and told him to keep his mouth shut, and if he continued, the team would disperse, and he, the boss, would become the commander of the light pole.
"There is not much money, just two bottles of wine and a few dishes of side dishes, you can drink it yourself, I won't go, remember, you are not allowed to drink during work, and you are not allowed to delay the next day, otherwise don't blame me for being a big brother when the time comes!"
Seeing such a result, the subordinates cheered, causing the visitors in the exhibition who had not yet left to frequently look sideways, speculating about what was going on here.
As for why they are so happy, on the one hand, they get the drinking money from the boss, and on the other hand, the boss does not participate in their party activities, and he has no scruples about playing and having a better time.
A party with the participation of the boss is not entertainment, but another form of work.
Speaking of Yan Facai, looking at the backs of his subordinates who were far away, his heart was also secretly dripping blood, and the private money that he had saved with great difficulty was gone, and he didn't know how long it would take to save so much next time.
But as the boss, when eating meat, he doesn't divide some soup, why should people follow him.
"M's, it's easy to eat and it's hard to make money, if there is another thief, it would be nice for me to catch it."
Before he finished speaking, Yan Facai suddenly noticed a figure coming in from the backyard, very familiar, and looked at it, wasn't it the thief who was caught just now, why did he come out with a swagger?
Just threw out the private money, and now the bonus is about to fly again, how can Yan Facai accept it.
Spit into the palm of his hand, rubbing his hands to increase friction, Yan Facai quietly touched the back of Wan Laiming, and when the distance was enough, the other party didn't find it, so he stepped forward decisively.
"Little rabbit cub, you're quite capable, lock you up tightly, you can still run out, you wait, this time I won't tie you up tightly, and let you slip away, I won't be surnamed Yan!"
Wan Laiming was excited in his heart, thinking about which painting to start sorting out, who would have thought that there would be such a scene here, and he was still stunned when he was pressed to the ground.
"It's not...... Be...... Alas, this big brother you are mistaken, I am really not a thief, I am the wrong person. ”
"You're still hard-mouthed, this time it's over if I can cure you!" Yan Facai was panting, and his mouth was still questioning.
At this time, Cheng Nuo had just come out of the house, and when he closed the door, he noticed this scene, and quickly explained: "Lao Yan, there is a misunderstanding here, you are the wrong person." ”
After explaining the ins and outs of the matter, the two of them figured out what was going on.
The more he thought about it, the more he blamed himself, Yan Facai directly gave himself a big slap, held Wan Laiming's hand and said directly: "In this way, Brother Wan, it's good for you to hit me to get angry, brother, I'm really sorry for you, it's really not interesting to look ugly in front of so many people." ”
Wan Laiming was originally a simple person, but now he is relatively young, and he can see that the other party is sincerely apologizing, where do he really want to beat people again: "Brother Yan, there is really no need to do this, it's good that the misunderstanding is resolved, we have to work together later, I am a newcomer, and I will ask you for help in the future." ”
Yan Facai also has his own bottom line: "No, if you don't beat me, I won't be able to go." ”
Seeing that the two were about to reach a stalemate again, Cheng Nuo hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, dispelled Yan Facai's insistence, and turned this story over at the cost of a meal.
Even so, Yan Facai's face was not too good-looking, and he smiled as if crying.
It's good now, the bonus is gone, the private money is gone, and you have to have a meal, it seems that the grade can't be too low, and it makes people want to cry without tears when you think about it.
Of course, Cheng Nuo didn't know the real reason for the discomfort, but considering that the starting point of his subordinates was also good, it was not appropriate for him to make a sum of money, so he simply took the initiative to say: "The bonus is indispensable to you, as long as you do a good job in this security work." Let's go, I've invited this meal, and it's a classmate's induction party. ”
Hearing this, Yan Facai's face instantly overflowed with joy, and his mouth was about to grin behind the root of his ears: "Mr. Cheng, you are optimistic, I will not put a fly in it, and I will definitely make the security for you beautiful!" ”
If you simply reward money, you may not be so happy, but if you lose the money and can get it back, it doesn't feel too comfortable.
With the efforts of Yan Facai and others, the commodity exhibition was successfully concluded, and the flow of people was as high as more than 100,000 in just one week, and there was no mistake in the middle.
In this way, according to the agreed time, the bazaar officially began.
For this auction, Wang Changshuo made a "Picture of the Wanderer", with a poem written by him attached to the blank space, and even carved a seal specifically for this painting, which was packaged and sold together with the painting, which was simply unprecedented in the past.
As soon as the news was released, it directly caused a sensation in the whole Shanghai painting and calligraphy circle, and the bazaar was reported with unprecedented expectations, and even to catch up with the name of the bazaar.
In addition, the auction also has a fan made by Wang Fu'an, a Buddhist sutra by Li Shutong, and Huang Binhong's landscape paintings, all of which were calligraphy and painting masters at that time, and had a lot of fans overseas.
Originally, I was going to invite Qi Baishi to come, but I didn't expect that he was still trapped in Tianjin, which was the object of this charity bazaar, and he participated in the event in another way, thinking about it, it was also fate.
In addition to the above-mentioned calligraphy and painting works, the bazaar also received other physical objects, such as the Chinese men's football team won the championship in the Far Eastern Games a few months ago, and the football played in the final, etc., which also has collectible value and has been welcomed by many people.
Five hundred oceans, a thousand oceans...... Five thousand oceans.
As the exhibits continue to be brought out, the auction price is also rising, and the atmosphere is even more climaxing.
By the time better exhibits came out later, some people had already emptied their budgets.
"Three thousand oceans at a time, is there a Mr. increase the price, this is Song Huizong's calligraphy work, the quality is excellent, it is said that a certain court eunuch from Pu Yi's hands Shun out, has been one of the four princes of Zhang Boju's appreciation, absolutely genuine, buy is earned, according to the original owner, if it is not for the need to fight the flood, he is absolutely unwilling to take it out."
If you want to sell something at a good price, in addition to its own excellent quality, the narrator must have a good eloquence, be able to tell a story, and give it a different connotation.
Song Huizong's works, produced by the royal family, blessed by Zhang Boju's halo, and have the righteousness of fighting floods, don't think about it, the purse can't be closed, and the price that you usually don't dare to come out is one by one.
"Three thousand two hundred dollars!"
"Three thousand five hundred dollars!"
"Four thousand dollars! Now the ocean is 4,000 yuan! ”
Seeing that the price was soaring higher and higher, some people couldn't sit still and stood up and threw their hands around.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you, my husband is Japanese, I especially like this calligraphy work of Song Huizong, and I also admire our Chinese culture very much, and he is our old friend.
Before he finished speaking, he saw the Japanese man next to him touch his trouser leg, and the man immediately stopped talking, bent down and attached his ear to the Japanese, and he didn't know what to say, and the man nodded again and again.
After the Japanese finished giving the order, the man stood up again and said complacently: "My husband just said that anyone who stops on this work is a good friend of the Japanese, and he will give priority to cooperating with the Japanese foreign firm in the future to make a lot of money."
If it is deliberately sabotage, then the Japanese will also take it to heart, including the organizers. ”
As soon as these words came out, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, causing a commotion in the audience, and all of them were scolded.
What "dog legs", "traitors", "little red guys", "son of a bitch", etc., are already considered civilized terms.
Cheng Nuo was also very addicted when he saw this, and took advantage of this moment to invite him out of the venue under the banner of his safety.
It's a pity that when he left, the Japanese was not at ease, paused at the door, patrolled the venue for a week with a fierce eye, and said bluntly: "The green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, let's walk and see." ”
Even though the Japanese are already a naked threat, there are still people who refuse to give in.
Holding his neck straight, Li Tianfu, president of the Shanghai Flour Trade Union, stood up and arched his hand to the surroundings: "Four thousand five hundred yuan, plus flour worth one thousand yuan." The calligraphy and painting works of our Chinese should stay in our country, and there is no need for you outsiders to interfere! ”
The Japanese stopped talking, and their knife-like eyes shot at everyone, only to laugh.
There was no other way but to be "politely" invited out by Cheng Nuo.
Although there was such a not very harmonious episode in the middle, it did not affect the auction process of the meeting at all, and after the peak after peak, the final finale of Wu Changshuo's "Wandering People" was auctioned out, and the scene was still very hot.
As a last resort, Cheng Nuo invited Uncle Li, who was watching from the sidelines, over.
"Master, you see that the enthusiasm of our auction here is still undiminished, can you please use this as a theme and make a work on the spot, which can be regarded as a happy conclusion to this charity sale?"
Li Shutong thought for a moment and shook his head: "Mr. Cheng, although I came here this time to support the charity sale, but recently there have been miscellaneous matters, calligraphy and painting have lost their creative spirituality, and it is irresponsible to take such a work forward, and I can't do anything at this time." ”
Also, this matter was not in the plan, people were willing to come over to support, they have already given enough face, and it is too much to expect anything else.
"Well, the elephant is invisible, the painting has a blank space, and the bazaar should also have a blank space, so let's stop at this time." Cheng Nuo no longer insisted, and was ready to return to the venue to announce the end.
At this moment, Li Shutong suddenly stopped him and pushed out the apprentice who had been silent beside him.
"This apprentice of mine has some attainments in painting, and he will be able to inherit my mantle in a few years, if he can, why not use his paintings?"
Looking at this young man, Cheng Nuo had some conjecture in his heart and asked, "It's okay, I don't know the name of this gentleman?" ”
The young man bowed slightly, and said politely: "The boy's surname is Feng, his name is Run, see Mr. Cheng." ”
Hearing the introduction, Cheng Nuo slapped his head and made sure that the person in front of him was Feng Zikai, he didn't expect to be so young, and it was estimated that he was about the same as Wan Laiming.
Li Shutong thought that Cheng Nuo had other opinions, and deliberately said: "With the previous masters opening the way, it is really inappropriate for Ziqi's works to be used for the finale, and Mr. Cheng can arrange it independently." ”
"It's okay, Mr. Feng can play as he pleases." Cheng Nuo suddenly thought of a way and said, "But I have a plan, and I need the cooperation of gentlemen." ”
Immediately, Cheng Nuo told the two of them his idea, and both of them nodded with satisfaction after hearing it, especially Feng Zikai, who had such an opportunity to perform at such a young age, and couldn't wait.
Walking to the venue, under the gaze of everyone, the staff of the venue put a table of eight immortals on the rostrum, and then spread out the rice paper, grind the ink, and the inkstone and brush were all prepared.
"Mr. Cheng, what kind of fame are you doing, why can't I understand it, didn't you say that you want to lift the finale in the finale?" Relying on his good relationship with Cheng Nuo and taking pictures of Song Huizong's works, Li Tianfu was in a very good mood and was full of confidence when he asked questions.
"Mr. Li, it's my fault, I never said that there is a finale in the finale, and what you photographed is one of our finales." Cheng Nuo explained with a smile.
"Understand that people can't talk confused, don't talk about the auction price, just talk about the auction position, no matter how you look at it, it won't be my turn." Li Tianfu didn't buy that sentence at all, and was still asking curiously.
Seeing that someone took the lead, the people below also asked, and there was a great posture to break the casserole and ask to the end.
It's a pity that Cheng Nuo and the others have already discussed it in the background, and they don't want to say a useful word while playing Tai Chi.
There was an anxious person who was not happy, and threw a sentence on the spot: "Mr. Cheng, if you look down on you when you are young, he will be a fool, you are too slippery, you haven't paid the money anyway, you don't tell the truth, so let's do it, I don't want that XX work, and the deposit will be used as a donation." ”
Fortunately, after the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were ready, Li Shutong and Feng Zikai did not delay too much and walked directly to the stage.
Cheng Nuo walked to the front of the stage steadily, cleared his throat and said: "The flood is ruthless, when the people of Zhili are in such a big disaster, everyone supports and rescues from all directions, this charity bazaar has been a complete success, all the exhibits have been auctioned out, or with the ocean, or with foreign currency, or with physical goods, etc., I believe that with this material support, the future of the compatriots will be better than this."
It stands to reason that this bazaar can already be declared over, but in view of everyone's enthusiasm and considering the special significance behind this bazaar, I specially invited Master Hongyi and Fengrun (Zikai) master and apprentice to draw a group photo for everyone. ”
After hearing this, everyone was surprised, the people who can come here to participate in the bazaar, are all people with heads and faces, more or less have been in contact with the camera, there are family photos placed in the house, and there are not a few people who have taken group photos.
Li Shutong is okay, everyone has seen his ability, but in the face of Feng Zikai, there is no masterpiece at this time, and everyone is still generally skeptical.
However, considering that people are also well-intentioned, it is not suitable to smash the field at the moment, so he acquiesced to the practice of the three people on the stage.
Of course, whether it is oil painting or Chinese painting, it is not an easy task to draw portraits of characters, so according to Cheng Nuo's arrangement, and in order to show Feng Zikai's specialties, while taking into account the heritage of Chinese painting, the group takes into account the essence of Chinese painting, mainly comics, grasps the characteristics of the characters, and sketches a few strokes, and then jumps on the paper.
In about half an hour, everyone present was drawn in, even including the surrounding staff, Yan Facai, Wan Laisheng and others, and everyone was amazed.
Although it is a clever work, it is full of ideas and novelties.
Seeing such a scene, Li Tianfu was even more satisfied with this auction, and remembered that there were still people coaxing just now, so he was angry.
"Who shouted to refund the order just now, now stand up, my Lao Li will take the plate next, I can't wait to buy a few more works, and pass them on to my son in the future."
It's true that the acute child is not fake, but the brain is not stupid at all, it is all angry talk, how can it be taken seriously.
After saying this for a long time, no one replied, Li Tianfu was so happy.
Under the gaze of everyone, Uncle Li with pen and paper, in the blank space of the "group photo", announced the successful completion of the charity bazaar with a poem.
I have come to plant seeds, and I have not bloomed flowers;
Is there no good color, leave it for future generations to come?
