National Tide 1980.

Chapter 61

It was a coincidence, just when Ning Weimin blinked his eyes and pretended to be innocent, deliberately teasing Kang Shude.

On the other side of Rong Baozhai, two well-dressed people were talking about them.

in the director's office.

Director Song was opening the Shen Zhou and Shi Tao that were collected today on the table and showing them to the head of Rong Baozhai, Director Fang, who had just returned from a meeting at the Fine Arts Publishing House.

At the same time, Director Song continued to blame himself with shame.

"Old Fang, I'm sorry. Today's matter is mainly my responsibility. It's because I'm too impatient, so the price is high. Hey, I didn't do it well, it's a lot more expensive. I called you too. , look at this..."

Director Fang kept his eyes on the two paintings and smiled and waved his hands.

"Hey, don't say that. Unexpected situations at work are inevitable. Lao Song, in fact, you are right to consider the reputation of the store, otherwise it will be a small loss."

"What's more, these two paintings and calligraphy are really good, the damage is not serious. Especially Shen Zhou and Shi Tao, they are both outstanding people in the history of art. Their works have not survived very much, and they have been maintained so well. It’s even rarer to see the high-quality products. The price is a little high, but it is also worth the money. It can’t be said that it is expensive.”

"Actually, what they said is right. He wants to sell it to an individual, and there are also two or three times the price. Now there are many Hong Kong businessmen in the capital. If they find the right person, they may sell at a higher price. It really has to be said that people believe in us and are willing to give it to us."

"Let's just leave this matter as it is, don't blame yourself. I'll sign the receipts for these two things later. It's a mutual recognition of the two of us. Let's quickly let our people repair these two works. That's right."

Director Song was immediately relieved.

"Thank you, then, I can rest assured if you have the proof for me."

"As for this job, since it was received by Master He. In my opinion, let him take two apprentices to do it."

"Master He's current task is only one of Xie Shichen's "Da Xueshan Picture Scroll". And he has done [-]% of the work. I think it is just right, at most it will take another month."

Director Fang nodded first, "That's it, I think it's okay."

Then he stopped Director Song who was about to put away the paintings and calligraphy and leave.

"Lao Song, don't rush away, take a seat, I have something important to tell you. The prices of our painting and calligraphy products are going to be adjusted."

"That's it, I went to a meeting today, and the agency reported an unexpected situation, saying that it was the first time that our capital held an export commodity exhibition in Hong Kong City. It is now being held. The response has been excellent and it has been a great success."

"There are tens of thousands of visitors to the exhibition every day. In particular, the arts and crafts exhibitions are extremely popular. The more than [-] modern paintings, [-] watermarked works on wood, and [-] sets of picture albums and pictures we sent. It was sold out in the first three days of seeing the exhibition.”

"The response from Hong Kong City is very popular, especially the modern and famous calligraphy and painting. The price is increased by [-]% every day, but it is still popular, which is unimaginable. It can be seen that the external market's preference for our local calligraphy and painting is far more than our original. expected."

"Therefore, the superiors considered the popularity of the external market, considering the increasing number of Japanese and Hong Kong businessmen in the Mainland, and believed that our pricing was already a bit low. Therefore, it was decided that from now on, we will collect modern paintings from all painting shops in our system. , the price will be adjusted uniformly, and it will temporarily float up by [-]%. Let’s see the market reaction.”

"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to arrange this. And I mean, in fact, you might as well be bold, like some large-scale boutiques, Hong Kong businessmen's favorite theme of auspiciousness and wealth, Japanese businessmen's favorite Buddha statue Guanyin theme , it can be increased by [-]%, what do you think?"

As soon as these words were said, Director Song's expression became strange.

It was red and white, and it was ever-changing.

He opened his mouth for a long time, his forehead was sweating, and the corners of his mouth trembled in response.

"Okay...Okay, I get it. Don't worry, don't worry..."

Director Fang didn't know what happened to Director Song, but when he heard the price adjustment, he was so dazed.

Can not help but care to ask a question.

"Old Song, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Director Song rubbed his forehead and forced a smile.

"Me? No... No, it's fine, I just feel a little hot. Then I'll make arrangements and find someone to replace the price tag. By the way, is there anything else?"

Director Song was completely polite and said casually, but he didn't expect that Director Fang really did.

"Hey, as soon as you said it, I remembered. I have a friend... Oh, it's that Professor Lan who is engaged in ancient construction. You've seen it before."

"The last time he came to see me, he fell in love with Huang Binhong's painting of Qishan. He called me the night before and said he wanted it."

"Well, you can drop by the gallery later and ask someone to put away the painting. Professor Lan will come and pick it up in two or three days at most. The price, I think we will still pay the old price of 98, and then give He gave [-]% off..."

Speaking of which, Director Fang suddenly couldn't speak anymore.

Because in his eyes, the unusual look just now not only appeared on Director Song's face again, but even more evil this time.

Director Song actually made a "squeaky" sound and began to cough violently.

He coughed so hard that his face was red and his ears were red, and he was coughing so hard that he bent down.

In the end, Director Fang couldn't stand it any longer.

He had to get up to help Director Song beat his chest by mistake, and poured him a glass of water.

In this way, Director Song gradually calmed down, rubbing his chest and revealing the truth.

"Old Fang, I'm sorry, I lost my temper...

"Hey, let me tell you the truth. In fact, the old and the young who came here today didn't just sell the paintings and leave. There is a special situation that I didn't tell you."

"It's about time, that young man insisted on buying paintings. He asked me for a 57% discount, and then used the money from selling paintings to buy [-] paintings and calligraphy by modern masters."

"Speaking of it, it's evil. Not only did that kid throw money away without blinking, but he also asked Huang Binhong by name. As long as our store is more than four feet tall, he wants all of Huang Binhong's paintings and calligraphy. As for the "Qishan Picture" you mentioned, Also on the list..."

Needless to say, even Director Fang was stunned.

Because to tell the truth, since Darong Baozhai opened, there has never been such a customer who bought paintings!

Director Fang said in his heart, hey, this is a strange thing, it's strange enough!

Who is this old man?

Buying paintings is like buying radish and cabbage?

And just before the price increase?

Look at this cheap account, there is no such a clever way to do it!

Also buy Huang Binhong?

Hey, it's really embarrassing to meet such a strange person.

What did he give to Professor Lan...
