Chapter 73: Favors

"At that time, the Pu brothers and a group of colleagues formed the Songfeng Painting Association, often gathered in Puru's Cui Jin Garden, joint poems and paintings, sometimes there are masterpieces, appreciation and singing harmony, it can also be regarded as opening a feast to sit on flowers, flying feathers and drunk moon."

"The kid from the Qi family also came later, that kid has aura, Pu Ru liked it at a glance, and taught him hand-in-hand when he had the opportunity......"

After muttering to himself for a while, the old man slowly withdrew his gaze.

"This long scroll is Pu Ru's proud work after three years of seclusion in Jietai Temple, in the Cui Jin Garden and Songfeng will be appreciated together, everyone appreciates it, talks about it clearly, and praises the inscription."

He said to Chang Xian: "You are the proud disciple of Brother Jinyu, and you got this long scroll by chance, as Brother Jinyu said, this is your creation!" ”

Feeling nostalgic for a while, the old man asked, "Since you want to enter the antique shop, what are your plans?" ”

Chang Xian combed through his mind for a while, and said, "My plan for myself is to be a collector, not an antique dealer. ”

"Oh?"

The old man asked, "Then tell me, what is the difference between a collector and an antique dealer?" ”

Chang Xian said: "Pattern." ”

"Pattern?"

The old man's eyebrows twitched, and this answer seemed a little unexpected by the old man.

Chang Xian took out the state of the interview, and talked eloquently with vigor: "Everything changes from its origins, and the antique shop is also in business, and there are similarities with business, so I will take business as an analogy." ”

"Whether it's history, or today, doing business can be divided into three levels."

"The most basic can only be called a businessman, why do you say that? It can be understood literally. Our Chinese characters are broad and profound, 'looking for a job' is also called 'looking for a job', and the dialect of my hometown is simply called 'finding a way to live'. The "livelihood" of "doing business" is actually the "livelihood" of "making a living", and in the final analysis, it is out of livelihood. ”

"Small traders and hawkers are businessmen, and wherever there is money to be made, they run to wherever they can, and they do whatever they can to make money. They see immediate benefits and lack long-term planning. ”

"It's the same with antique shops, those shovels, brokers, and vendors who go to the countryside to count Buddhist beads, are all such antique dealers, or antique dealers."

"They make a living by exchanging antiques, and their biggest wish is to be able to buy a store on Shenyang Road or Liulichang and become antique dealers."

The old man asked, "And then?" ”

Chang Xian said: "A higher level can be called a merchant." Such businessmen no longer have to worry about making a living, they have more energy and confidence to plan more complex problems. ”

"Businessmen will consider the ratio of investment to income, will make trade-offs through the size of profits, will consider long-term brand management, and will also focus on the larger market. But at the end of the day, it's about money, it's about good profits. ”

"In the antique shop, those time-honored brands in Shenyang Road and Liulichang are antique merchants, they formulate and maintain the rules of the game of the industry, buy the rich and sell, speculate on the rise and fall, they want to inherit their own brand and craftsmanship, and eat the bowl of antique rice all the time."

The old man asked, "Then the collector doesn't think about profit, doesn't think about money?" ”

Chang Xian said with a sigh: "Of course, you need to consider profits. Whether it is an entrepreneur or a businessman, they are actually businessmen, but they are more advanced businessmen, and the foundation of businessmen is money. ”

"The economy determines the superstructure, the country will die if it has no money, the enterprise will go bankrupt if it has no money, and the family will mourn if it has no money."

"But small traders and hawkers are focused on livelihoods, businessmen are chasing short- and medium-term profits, and entrepreneurs are more concerned about what they create."

"Entrepreneurs aim to do business, capital is the means, and profit is the result. And the businessman aims and results in making money, everything else is just a means. ”

"Collecting is a bottomless pit that burns money. Without wealth as a foundation, there is no way to collect. ”

"Collecting is different from general commerce, because the goods it deals in are works of art, cultural relics, and carriers of national civilization."

"Therefore, collectors are different from ordinary entrepreneurs, not only using money as a means to achieve their careers, but also based on the economy to achieve the mission of inheriting national civilization!"

"Mr. Ye Gongchao is to Mao Gongding, Mr. Zhang Boju is to "Pingfu Sticker", "You Chun Tu", and Mr. Sun Yingzhou is to Doucai Sanqiu Cup, all of which are the same!"

The old man's long eyebrows flew up, and some complicated emotions seemed to pass over his face.

But his wrinkles were too deep and he cooled down too quickly, and it disappeared before he could see it.

The old man was silent, and sighed for a long time: "This will be difficult. ”

Chang Xian smiled: "It's really not easy, but no matter how difficult it is, it won't be sad for Mr. Ye Gongchao, they are forced to be the head of the white blade, and I am just bankrupt at most." ”

"I'm already a child of a poor family, so what are you afraid of! Here in Jinmen, the Tibetan saint is in front, the body can't reach, and the heart yearns for it. ”

"Xiao Chang's words won my heart."

Nanshi, who had been sitting for a long time, said: "From the perspective of historical latitude, the time coordinate system of ordinary people is three years and five years, at most ten years and eight years, while Zhang Boju is a superordinate person, and regards his name as dross and his power as dust. His time coordinate system will be thousands of years away! ”

"You have a great husband in Nankai!"

The old man sighed to Nanshi: "In the past, there were teenagers who studied for the rise of China, and today there are young people who collect for the civilization of the nation!" ”

He nodded and said, "Brother Jinyu, as you wish, I will accept this disciple!" ”

Chang was waiting on the sidelines, and when he saw that the old man finally agreed to accept the apprentice, he secretly rejoiced in his heart.

was thinking about how to apprentice, but saw the old man get up without hurry and pick up pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the ground.

He slowly unfolded a piece of rough-edged paper, groaned for a moment, and began to write.

It is an extremely beautiful hairpin flower, with the "Huang Ting Sutra" as the sect, and there is a little more "Lingfei Sutra" of the temple atmosphere.

Chang Xian boasted that he had some attainments in calligraphy, but in front of the old man, his eyes were a little dirty, and he couldn't get on the stage.

"The year is in Jiashen, August 1. The dead wood shook off, and Qiu Hong came with a letter. ”

"Nanjun Jinyu and his brother often come to visit, not to be shallow and knowledgeable, lonely and unheard, and want to entrust Chang Jun to enter the room of giving. He has been in love with Nanjun for a long time, although he is not as good as Ji Bu, but of course he promises. ”

"According to the old saying of cutting candles in front of the window forty years ago, not only did Chang Jun get in, but Nan Jun's affection was also repaid. This note. ”

It's just a cup of tea, and the old man can do it with a wave.

The old man sat down at the table, read it softly from beginning to end, felt that there was no problem, and then blew softly on the paper.

Stretched out his hand to put the brush on the pen stand, got up and stretched out his hand to lead the southern division.

"Brother Jinyu, please!"

Chang Xian on the side was dumbfounded, and in order to repay the favor of forty years ago, he accepted an apprentice, and then wrote a word with no legal effect to prove that this cause and effect has been practiced.

Isn't this the style of Baume & Mercier?

This character has been passed down, can it be called "Human Love Post"?

Nanshi smiled bitterly, with a complicated expression in his eyes, and seemed to be reluctant to say: "Brother Snow Monk, how can the eldest husband have the word "grace" in his heart, why should he be like this?" ”

The old man stubbornly pointed with a resolute expression, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Jinyu, how can the eldest husband ever have the word ingratitude in his heart, please!" ”

Nan Shi sighed angrily, and put the pen on the paper with the three cursive words "Nan Jinyu".
