Chapter 694: Selling Paintings
His own idea was affirmed by Pei Sange, and Eleven Niang left an opinion that she didn't see Pei Ying today: "Sister Ying, I wanted to see her today, but I met Pei Jun unexpectedly." ”
Zijian has not married a wife until now, it seems that there is only one concubine, and he gave birth to a daughter, as early as Chang'an, he was busy running around, and most of the shops were sat by Pei Ying, so Eleven Niang never thought that she would be able to see Pei Sange today, she originally planned to ask Pei Ying's opinion.
"Ying Niang has a birthday ceremony for the first birthday of a friend in Luoyang, Ying Niang went to congratulate, and because of the preparation of the treasure meeting, Pei asked her sister to invite Luoyang businessmen to participate, and she has not returned to Jinyang at this time."
The treasure shop of the Pei family brothers and sisters is famous all over the world in Chang'an, and now the two are invited by the eleventh mother, but they will close the treasure shop in Chang'an, only after coming to Jinyang, although the store has opened, but has not yet organized a treasure meeting.
The so-called treasure meeting, different from the store items are clearly marked with prices, but the use of bidding mode, so the goods sold at the treasure meeting, most of them are rare things, to organize a treasure meeting, not only to invite the local rich families, but also to invite the Hu merchants from all over the world and many rich people, businessmen can not only hand over their treasures to the organizer for sale, but also can bid for the rest of the goods.
After all, these wealthy merchants have frequent contacts with the wealthy families in various places, and the wealthy families who are not in the local area may not hesitate to travel long distances for a treasure meeting, and the rich merchants compete for the treasures and can sell them at a higher price, which is profitable, and they will naturally participate in the treasure meeting.
The two brothers and sisters of Pei Million transferred the treasure store to Jinyang, which is indeed beneficial to the prosperity of Taiyuan's business.
Because businessmen from all over the world, especially Hu merchants, have to consume a lot of manpower and material resources after a long journey, and most of them are unwilling to return empty-handed, so it is natural to buy some Taiyuan Fu's abundant products at a low price and transport them to other places to sell at a higher price.
Don't look at the current many civilians struggling to be fed, but it does not mean that the overall depression of the Great Zhou Dynasty business, because compared with the cloth people, there are more nobles and nobles, these people may be concerned about increasing the centiality, but as long as it is for their own quality of life, they are squandered and generous.
The huge disparity between the rich and the poor is the social status quo of the Great Zhou at this time.
Luo Jiulang sighed that he actually gave up the money of a high-grade famous inkstone, which was enough to relieve more than 70 households in Bailing Village.
Born in this era of strict hierarchy and humility, and is still the top noble, Shi Niang is actually not very disgusted with the simple profligacy of the aristocratic class, and she never thought of realizing the "equality of all beings" advocated by Xie Ying in the past, or forcing the nobles of Taiyuan Mansion to advocate thrift and give their wealth to the poor, which is simply an unfulfilled idea, but she is indeed full of sympathy for the poor people, in her opinion, it is natural for the people who are good and disgusted to be reduced to food and clothing, but the vast majority of the poor have actually paid more hard work than ordinary people, then at least ensure that they are not starved and cold, which is the main responsibility of a country and a political party.
"If it weren't for Pei Jun mentioning the treasure meeting, I would have almost forgotten another purpose today." Eleven Niang said with a smile: "I have a painting, which can be handed over to Pei Jun to bid for at the treasure meeting, with this thing, I believe that Pei's treasure store will invite rich people in the first treasure club in Jinyang, and it will be able to increase several times." ”
However, Pei Zijian was not surprised, and even discouraged: "At present, the Jinyang commercial market is in a depression, and the first treasure meeting should not be too publicized, and some things cannot be rushed, and they need to be done step by step." ”
Zijian is understandable to say this, after all, at present, many merchants have withdrawn from Jinyang City, although he has a certain reputation in the business world, if the invitation post, many businessmen will give a face, only businessmen after all, after all, they make profits, once they give face, and the next time they are not so good, so Zijian will return to the treasure meeting, and most of the merchants invited are Luoyang businessmen, which is also because Luoyang is relatively not far away from Jinyang, and there is no need to waste this trip.
"It doesn't matter, as long as Yunzhou City is rebuilt, it will affect the Taiyuan commercial market, and now it ...... There are a group of people who are in a hurry to settle in, and I do need a lot of money. "Eleven Niang considers not only the families of those embroidered girls, but also many military families in Jinyang City, this group of people are in urgent need of appeasement, it is far from enough to rely on her dowry, although He Ye is richer, but she also knows that He Ye's spending is better than her, and it is inevitable that the Queen Mother will be suspicious if she completely subsidizes it with the private wealth of the Jin Palace.
After years of development and growth, the Empress Dowager's internal guard can also be said to be ubiquitous, although it has no effect on probing the enemy situation such as Northern Liao and Xinji, but the Empress Dowager's intention to form the internal guard was not originally aimed at foreign enemies, but specifically for internal affairs.
The Jin Palace's Mansion is too selfless, and the Queen Mother should be suspicious: Where did He Ye get so much money?
"Pei Jun doesn't need to worry, I'm very sure, within half a year, we should be able to revitalize Jinyang's business, at least make Jinyang Sifang prosperous again."
But Zijian still has objections: "More than one million dollars, there is no need to take this big risk, Pei may not be unaware of the princess's worries, but this money does not need to come from the Jin Palace, since the queen mother knows that Pei has helped the princess, Pei can borrow it." ”
As soon as Eleven Niang heard this, she knew that the third brother had misunderstood, and she shook her head: "If it's a million dollars, of course I'm not so eager, but what if I need tens of millions?" ”
Zijian was taken aback, and was speechless, but his expression was a little hesitant to speak.
Shi Niang smiled: "I also know that one of my paintings is worth millions of dollars at most, but the paintings I want to hand over to Pei Jun are not painted by me." ”
He raised his voice and shouted Ai Lu: "Bring the paintings on the car." ”
The little girl answered, and soon presented a scroll with both hands.
Without waiting for the princess to say more, Pei Zijian couldn't wait to take a look, and then his mouth couldn't close, and his two eyes almost fell on the drawing paper, so he looked at it for a long time, and he was still a little trembling when he spoke: "This is ...... This is the fifth sister...... No, Empress Pei's painting is in the water?! ”
Eleven Niang's head: "What does Pei Jun think is worth?" ”
From Pei Zijian's eyes, of course, it is not difficult to distinguish that this painting is by no means a painting of others, and it is even stamped with the seal of Dezong's collection, which is indeed his sister, and there is no doubt that this painting is authentic.
It is not too long for Wodan to pass away, and of course there is only one posthumous work, but this painting is the work of Wodan's fame, praised by Emperor Dezong, and even ordered the royal family to collect it.
"If there is this painting in the market, don't talk about businessmen, I'm afraid that Dongying, Silla and other monarchs can also invite bidding!"
Pei Zijian's words are not an exaggeration, when Wodan was still the daughter of the boudoir, because he was given the name Pu Jiayi by Emperor Dezong, the paintings were worth a thousand gold, but Wodan did not sell paintings for a living, although there was no shortage of paintings to give to relatives and friends, but there was little circulation in the world, not to mention that later became the queen, and died young, although the level of the paintings of Eleven Niang is not inferior to Wodan, but in terms of status, it is still inferior to Wodan, and then Eleven Niang is still alive, and the future paintings are naturally not as good as Wodan, there are only so many.
Not to mention the "political significance" of the painting in the water of the Mae.
It was highly praised by the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even treasured it for the royal collection, and those small monarchs could not be delusional.
But Pei Zijian still has concerns: "Although the princess knows Pei's origin, because she and Pei Wuniang are considered brothers and sisters, she can know this as the true work of the clan sister at a glance, but if Jingbao will bid, of course she must explain the provenance of this work." ”
"In the Water of the Mae" is not only a royal collection, but also the Great Zhou Dynasty is not dead, and the collection is circulated in the market, and most people will not believe that this is a genuine work.
"This painting was originally given to me by the Queen Mother, and Pei Jun can tell me truthfully, believing that the proceeds from the sale of the painting will be used for the implementation of the new policy, and the Queen Mother will not be dissatisfied with it, it is Queen Pei...... I am also glad to see that the posthumous work can do its best for the country. ”
Zijian was stunned for a long time, and only then did he see a smile on the corner of his lips: "If the princess was born ten years early, maybe she would be able to ...... with the fifth sister Become a close friend. ”
He rolled up this precious painting, and at the same time restrained his emotions: "Pei's treasure is the first treasure meeting, with this treasure of the town, if Pei can't invite rich businessmen from all walks of life to make this treasure meeting famous all over the world, Pei is incompetent." ”
Eleven Niang's focus is: "What is the value?" ”
Pei Zijian sold Guan Zi: "At that time, the princess will know." ”
