Chapter 23: Picking Up Leaks
"Hehe, that's good. Actually, if it weren't for the high salary, a few of us wouldn't have planned to do it a long time ago. Doing things with you is either scolded by you, or helping you bully the weak for the tiger.
I feel ashamed of my master and his old man, go brothers, let this bastard go on his own, I think one day he will not know how to die. β
After that, the bodyguard waved his hand, and the others all left with him, leaving only the stunned Sun Tianshou. He didn't expect that these guys, who were usually respectful and obedient to him, would really leave.
"Alright, let's see. Liang Hu, I wrote it down. And that kid, I won't let any of them go. Sun Tianshou said viciously, his eyes full of vicious looks.
Lu Feiming simply ate something on the road, and when he got home, he couldn't wait to take out the bamboo root carved pen holder, and then opened the laptop to check it on the Internet.
The thing is definitely an old thing, whether it is craftsmanship or carving, it is undoubtedly a fine product, and the age is estimated to be around the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. It's just that the only thing Lu Feiming can't accurately judge is who the author of this thing is.
The price of an ancient work of art is also often determined by the fame of its author. There are many kinds of collections, although Lu Feiming can firm the authenticity, but he does not have a lot of contact with the small category of tooth horn bamboo and wood.
Therefore, although this bamboo root carved pen holder has the author's signature, he can't figure out the other party's fame for a while. When he checked it, he was suddenly surprised, and he couldn't close his mouth happily.
Feelings: This bamboo root carving is actually the work of Zhu Zhizheng, a master in the late Ming Dynasty. Zhu Zhizheng is also known as Zhu Sansong, his grandfather Zhu He and father Zhu Ying are both famous bamboo carving masters in the late Ming Dynasty.
The three generations of the Zhu family are all famous all over the world because of their bamboo carving skills, and thus founded the Jiading School of bamboo carving art. Many of his works have been collected by major museums in China.
It can be seen that this pen holder should be worth a lot of money, and Lu Feiming picked up a big leak today.
These days are busy surviving, although there are gains, but they are not ideal, Lu Feiming didn't expect to finally get a decent artifact today, which also made him breathe a sigh of relief.
In retrospect, it seems that I still need to work harder, one is to go out often to look for goods, and the second is to continue to increase my knowledge reserves.
In addition, in the future, as long as the price is right, don't ink too much, and take it firmly, so as not to have such a thing as today.
If Liang Hu hadn't stopped the other party in time, it is estimated that he might have suffered today. You may not be able to buy things, and you may be beaten for no reason.
In this way, he owes Liang Hu a favor, and it seems that he should thank the other party when he finds a time in the future. However, Lu Feiming also thought of one thing.
It's true to open your own store and do business, but in the future, if you encounter those people who bully the market and dominate society, it will be really troublesome. After thinking about it, Lu Feiming decided to consult Master Shi Shuqing the next day.
Let's see if there is any good way to solve this problem, and ask him to help give this pen holder a palm.
Shi Shuqing took off his reading glasses, and gently stroked the bamboo carved pen holder in his hand with joy on his face. looked at Lu Feiming who was sitting on the side with great appreciation.
"Xiao Lu, that's good. It's really good. Old man, the most powerful thing in my life is to specialize in ancient jade. However, there is also a lot of research on this tooth horn bamboo and wood.
And what I like the most as a teacher is this kind of stuff. This pen holder is very good, especially Zhu Sansong's heirloom utensils are generally mostly hand-handled, and this relatively large piece has very few survives.
In recent years, the price of such things has risen rapidly, and it is very collectible. At first, I was worried that your store would open, and there would be nothing that could calm the field.
Now it seems that I was overthinking. However, I suggest you don't sell this thing and put it in the store for a while. When you are really short of money, find an opportunity for Master to help you go to the auction.
Conservatively, it is estimated that this thing can still be sold for one or two million. β
After listening to Shi Shuqing's words, Lu Feiming knew that the teacher cared about him, and he was also pleased with the value of this pen holder, so he spent one hundred and fifty yuan to pick up an artifact worth one or two million.
It seems that at least the rent money for the first year is there. It also strengthened Lu Feiming's determination to take the antique shop as the direction of future development, and he was also confident that he could open the store well, bigger and stronger.
Then Lu Feiming talked about what happened to him when he was shopping yesterday, and by the way, he asked Shi Shuqing how to deal with those social people and bullying the market in the antique shop.
After listening to Lu Feiming's narration and questions, Shi Shuqing couldn't help frowning slightly, and after pondering for a while, he said to Lu Feiming in a serious tone:
"Xiao Lu, you remember Master's words, we are businessmen, and at the same time, we are also cultural people. After all, we don't do the same business as others.
Therefore, first of all, we must abide by the law and discipline, and we must also have our own professional ethics. But we shouldn't be earning it, don't stretch out your hand.
Especially in our antique industry, there are many fish and dragons, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will be involved in some illegal and criminal things. Sometimes the receipt of goods also depends on the object and the thing.
In the past, many people suffered big losses in this regard, and it was still a trivial matter to break the fortune, and it was a lifetime to make people ruined and imprisoned.
As for what kind of social people and bullying people you are talking about, in Master's experience, first of all, you should have less contact with such people, and in addition, don't care about the small amount of money you should spend.
Think of it as spending money to buy peace. In fact, there are such people in every market, and they usually don't really bother you if they give some benefits. But if something big happens, don't be afraid.
As long as you are upright, you are not afraid of shadows, and when you encounter a problem that you can't solve, tell the master in time, I still know some people, old man, and it is not difficult to help you settle it. β
With Shi Shuqing's words, Lu Feiming felt a little confident in his heart, and felt that he was not wrong as a master. At the same time, I also understood some truths.
After saying goodbye to Shi Shuqing, Lu Feiming went to the faΓ§ade courtyard to see the progress of the decoration, but he didn't want Bai Yan to happen to be here. The two of them talked about some things again, especially when Lu Feiming mentioned what happened yesterday.
Bai Yan was slightly stunned at first, and then said with a smile:
"Hey, in fact, what Shi Lao said is right, where there are no such people, just like when I set up a stall in the night market to sell snacks, I don't have to call those people a little protection money every month.
However, these people generally don't look for trouble when they take money, and they will even help when they encounter something. So don't worry about it. Let's think about how to make our business bigger in the future. β
Lu Feiming nodded, and then quietly told Bai Yan about the leak yesterday.
