Portable Museum

Chapter 240 The world is hot and cold

"How do you plan to collect the works of those old guys?" Wu Xinping asked with a smile.

"Price increase! It turns out that you pay more than one yuan for a painting, and some are a few yuan.

Now, I increase the price, a hundred times the price.

Famous artists like Qi Gong, Wu Zuoren, Wu Guanzhong, Fan Zeng, Cui Ruzhuo, and Huang Yongyu all increased their prices by a hundred times to accept their works.

Of course, this requires master's help! "Zhang Junping laughed.

You can't worship a teacher in vain.

To be a master is to do your best.

It is not easy to get the works of those artists who are currently active in the domestic painting and calligraphy circle.

To reach their current status, they are not short of money.

It doesn't mean that if I increase the price by a hundred times, I will be able to successfully take down everyone's paintings.

That's impossible, it can only be a dream come true.

As for cultivating artists, that can only be done after the art company has established a firm foothold.

Nor is it possible to see results in a short period of one or two years.

It is a long-term investment.

Now, it is these contemporary artists who are active in the calligraphy and painting circle who can get results quickly.

He may not be able to take it down by himself, but Wu Xinping can. With his connections and status in the calligraphy and painting circle, he can completely wipe out the crowd before everyone reacts.

Although it cannot be said that all of them have been won, it is still no problem to win most of them.

"Hehe, you kid, you just started to call your master.

Everyone else is a disciple who has something to do, but you are a master who has something to do. "Wu Xinping was in a good mood, joking with Zhang Junping.

"Master, this is called hard work by the capable.

In the past few decades in the painting shop, the contacts you have formed cannot be replaced by anyone.

If anyone else in this country can collect all their works, it must be the master. "Zhang Junping laughed.

"I can be regarded as a sensible person, you kid is like this.

Even your master is included! "Wu Xinping scolded with a smile.

Wu Xinping now understands that, as his apprentice, he really takes one step and sees three steps.
Giving gifts, raising prices, holding symposiums, forming public opinion guidance, expanding influence, and collecting paintings, this step-by-step calculation is more than just taking one step and looking at three steps.

"Dad, are there any guests at home?" A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl came in from the outside, saw Zhang Junping stunned for a moment, and asked crisply.

"Xinxin is back! This is the apprentice I just accepted today.

Your name is brother. "Wu Xinping couldn't help showing a doting smile on his face when he saw his daughter.

"Xiao Zhang, this is my youngest daughter named Wu Xin who studies Chinese painting at CAFA." Wu Xinping proudly introduced to Zhang Junping.

"Dad, he just apprenticed today, should he call me senior sister?" The pretty girl wrinkled her nose at Zhang Junping and protested softly.

"Don't mess around, although Xiao Zhang just became a teacher today, he is self-taught, and his attainments in calligraphy and painting are no worse than your father's.

So, you call me brother honestly! "Wu Xinping reprimanded with a smile.

It's just that this reprimand doesn't have any deterrent effect at all, it's more like an explanation.

"OK then!

Hello brother! "Wu Xin made an ancient salute to Zhang Junping, and then stretched out a slender jade hand.

"What is Xinxin doing?"

"Meeting ceremony!
Brother, it's Chinese New Year, you haven't prepared a gift for me, have you? "Wu Xin looked at Zhang Junping and said with a smile.

"Don't tell me!
Originally, I didn't know that Master had such a beautiful and lovely little junior sister like you.

It's just that today I don't know what happened, so I put something in the bag on a whim.

It seems that this is fate!
In the dark, it is doomed, this thing is a gift for the little junior sister. "Zhang Junping patted his forehead and said with a smile.

"Really? Brother, you are sure it is a gift for me. If you don't like it, I don't want it!" Wu Xin blinked mischievously.

Zhang Junping picked up the briefcase, took out a box from it, and handed it to Wu Xin.

He smiled and said, "Little junior sister, let's see if you like this gift.

If you don't like it, senior brother will prepare another gift for you later. "

"You child, why did you ask your senior brother for a gift as soon as we met?" Zhou Yuzhen walked in with a plate of dishes, saw Wu Xin asking Zhang Junping for a gift, and reprimanded him with a frown.

Then he smiled and explained to Zhang Junping: "Xiao Zhang, don't be as knowledgeable as her, this girl is spoiled by your master!"

"Wow!

The watch is so beautiful!I like! "Wu Xin didn't care about Zhou Yuzhen's reprimand, opened the box on his own, and immediately shouted happily.

"Master is fine, Junior Sister is so innocent, why would I mind?" Zhang Junping said something to Zhou Yuzhen first, and then smiled at Wu Xin: "It's as long as Junior Sister likes it!"

"Go, call your brother out for dinner! There is no rush to study at this time." Zhou Yuzhen said to Wu Xin.

"Senior brother is here?" Zhang Junping was taken aback for a moment, he thought they were the only three of them in Wu Xinping's house.

"He's younger than you, you can call him Xiaohui.

The educated youth who just went to the countryside came back and studied at home to prepare for the university entrance examination next year. " Wu Xinping explained to Zhang Junping with a smile.

"Dad! Mom!

Hello! "A handsome young man in his twenties came out of the east wing, entered the main room, saw Zhang Junping, and nodded politely at him.

"This is the apprentice I just accepted today, you can call him Brother Zhang." Wu Xinping introduced Zhang Junping to his son.

Zhang Junping was a little puzzled. Just now, my daughter asked to call me senior brother, why did my son only call me Brother Zhang?

Perhaps seeing Zhang Junping's doubts, Wu Xinping explained with a smile: "This is my youngest son, named Wu Minghui.

He didn't study calligraphy and painting, and he doesn't plan to enter this circle in the future.

Therefore, it is enough for you brothers to be commensurate. "

"Brother Zhang!" Wu Minghui nodded politely to Zhang Junping.

"Senior brother, this is my brother, do you have to give a meeting gift too?

Could it be that there is another item in your bag that can be used as a gift? "Wu Xin said mischievously.

"Hey! Junior sister, why are you so smart?
You guessed it all? "Zhang Junping laughed.

As Zhang Junping said, he took out another box from his briefcase and handed it to Wu Minghui, "Xiaohui, it's the first time we meet, Brother Zhang is not prepared, just be careful."

"No Brother Zhang, how can I want you..."

"Thank you, brother!" Wu Xin took the box first and thanked Zhang Junping.

"Fifth Brother, don't you want a watch? Here, why don't you thank my brother?" Wu Xin opened the box, took out the watch inside and said to Wu Minghui with a smile.

"Xinxin, how can you be so rude?" Zhou Yuzhen was a little angry when she saw her daughter's behavior, and reprimanded her with a straight face.

"Mom, what's the matter? Senior brother is not an outsider!" Wu Xin said aggrievedly.

"Xiao Zhang, I'm sorry! This girl has been spoiled by her brothers and sisters." Zhou Yuzhen apologized to Zhang Junping.

"Master, it's okay! Just like Xinxin said, I'm not an outsider.

If you are too polite, I will feel uncomfortable.

By the way, Mistress, this is a gift for you, I hope you like it. "Zhang Junping quickly took out the gift he had prepared.

"No, no! It's the first day you're here, and it's only right for the teacher to give you a meeting gift." Zhou Yuzhen hastily declined.

"Okay, Yuzhen, this is Xiao Zhang's filial piety to you, so you can accept it!
Xiaohui, if Brother Zhang gives it to you, just accept it!

He is a rich man. "Wu Xinping said with a smile.

After Wu Xinping spoke, the two put away the presents.

After Zhou Yuzhen thanked Zhang Junping, he went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

"Xiao Zhang, I'm in a hurry today, and I don't have any preparations. Just a few home-cooked dishes. Don't be disgusted." Zhou Yuzhen said to Zhang Junping with a smile.

"Miss, this is already very good!

You are so good at this craft!This dish is made like a work of art, it looks like eating. Zhang Junping hurriedly stood up and said with a smile.

"I like to eat, and I will come here often in the future." Zhou Yuzhen said politely with a smile.

Then he dragged Wu Xin to another room for dinner.

"Master, why don't you ask your wife and sister to eat together?"

Zhang Junping did not expect that there is still a custom in Master's house that women do not sit at the table.

"Leave them alone! Let's eat ours!
Xiao Zhang, I see that you seem to have brought wine, so let's drink the wine you brought. "Wu Xinping said with a smile.

"Okay!" Zhang Junping stood up and took out two bottles of Moutai from the gift he brought.

"Hey! You really are willing!" Wu Xinping laughed.

"It's the first time you come to Master's house, how can you be stingy?" Zhang Junping laughed.

Wu Minghui took the wine very proactively, first poured a glass for Wu Xinping, then poured another glass for Zhang Junping, and finally got a glass for himself.

After two glasses of wine, Zhang Junping realized that Wu Xinping's drinking capacity was really bad.

After drinking two cups of the three-dollar wine cup, an abnormal blush appeared on his face.

Wu Xinping also talked more, talking nonsense.

What they talked about were some anecdotes and gossips in the calligraphy and painting circle, Zhang Junping was very happy to listen.

This is very helpful for him to understand the circle of painting and calligraphy.

After drinking two more glasses of wine, Wu Xinping was already drunk, his eyes were hazy, and he couldn't speak clearly.

Zhang Junping didn't dare to continue drinking with him.

Looking back at Wu Minghui, Zhang Junping couldn't help laughing, they are really close to each other, and they have the same capacity for alcohol.

At this time, Wu Minghui, sitting on a chair, had already started to kowtow and doze off.

Fortunately, when Wu Xinping was talking about the secrets of the painting and calligraphy circle, Zhang Junping was not idle. There were six dishes at a table, most of which went into his stomach, and he was finally half full.

"Master!" Zhang Junping got up and went out of the house, standing in the yard and shouting.

"Xiao Zhang, what's the matter?" Zhou Yuzhen came out of the kitchen when he heard the shout.

"Master and Xiaohui drank too much.

Look..." Zhang Junping was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's okay! Your master's drinking capacity is like this, two drinks is a crime." Zhou Yuzhen is obviously used to it.

When I was a guest at Master's house for the first time, I drank Master down, which is indeed a bit inappropriate.

But who knew, what Wu Xinping said about having two drinks was actually two drinks.

After Zhang Junping helped Zhou Yuzhen put Wu Xinping and Wu Minghui on the bed, he left quickly.

Zhang Junping returned to the courtyard.

This was the first time he came back so early in this period of time.

As soon as you enter the courtyard, you can see that the courtyard is full of people, very lively.

"Hey! Are you all here? What are you talking about? It's so lively?"

"Pingzi is back?"

"Pingzi, but Chengzi didn't see you come back so early."

"Yeah, have you finished the furniture?"

Seeing Zhang Junping, everyone talked to him and greeted him.

Very enthusiastic.

"No! I have something to do today, so I didn't go to break the furniture." Zhang Junping replied with a smile.

"Pingzi, I heard that you were transferred from the Material Bureau?" Brother Zhu asked.

Unexpectedly, there are people who are well-informed and know that he has been transferred to work.

No one has ever said anything about his job change.

Including Tian Shumei, he didn't say anything. It should be that he hasn't seen Tian Shumei for a while after returning from abroad.

Zhang Junping nodded and said, "Yes, I just got transferred a few days ago."

"Where did it go?" Everyone asked concerned.

"BJ's Art Shop on Wangfujing Street." Zhang Junping didn't hide anything, and said truthfully.

"Why did you go to the painting shop?"

"Yes! Pingzi, you won't offend anyone, right?

Why did you get transferred to that place? "

"Pingzi, you didn't make a mistake, did you?"

In an instant, Zhang Junping felt the coldness of the world and the warmth of human feelings from the words of everyone.

Some people really care, while others are just lucky.

"The painting shop is more relaxing. I'm getting married soon! Going to a more relaxed unit will save you from frequent business trips." Zhang Junping didn't bother to introduce so much to them.

"Then there's no need to go to such a deserted unit!"

"BJ's painting shop, I know, my natal brother-in-law's natal sister-in-law works there.

It's so quiet there, often there isn't even a single guest for a day. "Sister Zhao said with the expression that I have inside information.

"I've also heard that BJ's painting store not only lacks oil and water, but also has poor holiday benefits.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, half a catty of mooncakes was distributed. "

"Okay, you long-haired, short-sighted women, what are you talking about?" Brother Zhu couldn't see it anymore, and scolded.

"What's wrong with us? Let's talk about what's wrong?

Isn't that right, Xiao Zhang? Sister Zhu stared at Brother Zhu fiercely, and said to Zhang Junping with a smile.

"It's okay, the painting shop is what you call Qingshui Yamen.

Actually, for me, it's pretty good!

Just in the past few years, I was tired from running outside every day.

Qingshui Yamen is good!You can have a good rest. "Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"That's right, I think it's good to go to the painting shop! Your previous job was so good, it's not easy to spend half a year outside." Brother Zhu smiled awkwardly at Zhang Junping, trying to smooth things over.

"That's right! I'm going to get married soon! If I change jobs, I can stay at home and have my wife and children on the bed." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

After saying a few more words, Zhang Junping pushed the bicycle to the door of his room, parked the bicycle, and entered the house.

This person is really realistic. When he heard that he was no longer working in the material bureau, Brother Pingzi immediately became Xiao Zhang.

After washing up, Zhang Junping took out the cooked food and a bottle of chrysanthemum white from his space, and began to eat and drink leisurely.

Just now at Wu Xinping's house, I was half full.

"Bang bang!"

"Who is it!"

"Pingzi, it's me!" Tian Shumei opened the door and came in.

"Heh, why did Sister Tian learn to knock on the door?" Seeing that it was Tian Shumei, Zhang Junping laughed.

"Pingzi, what's going on? I heard from Dashan and the others that you were transferred to another job. Why did you get transferred to the painting shop?
Are you really offending someone?You didn't look for your old man? "Tian Shumei asked with concern.

"Haha...ha!" Zhang Junping couldn't help laughing, "Sister Tian, ​​how could you think I offended someone?"

"You're still laughing! Didn't offend anyone, why did you go to such a place suddenly?
Or did you make a mistake? "

"Sister Tian, ​​don't listen to those old ladies talking nonsense!

I am now a cadre at the deputy director level, and I will be directly promoted to the director level in the spring of next year.

triple jump.

Don't you think it's too eye-catching if you go up three levels in a row in another unit? Zhang Junping explained with a smile.

"Huh? You've been promoted to the rank of deputy director?
Scared me!I thought..." Tian Shumei said with a sigh of relief, patting her towering chest.

"Okay, don't talk about me!

how have you been?Is the business in Pigeon City okay? Zhang Junping looked at Tian Shumei and asked with a smile.

I haven't seen her for a while, but Tian Shumei has really changed a bit, she is still very beautiful.

But the temperament has changed, and I am more confident than before.

Life has rushes and hard days, but it is different.

"Pingzi, sister never had time to thank you!

It was you who pointed out a clear path to my sister.

Do you know how much money I have made in these few months?
When I said it, I couldn't believe it myself, I dared to dream about it before! "Speaking of her own business, Tian Shumei's excited eyes lit up.

"How much?" Zhang Junping took a sip of his wine and asked cooperatively.

"more than 20,000! My sister earned more than 20,000 in just over two months!
Especially in recent days, my sister can earn more than 1000 yuan a day.

By the Chinese New Year, my sister can earn 30,000 yuan. "Tian Shumei whispered excitedly.

"You don't have to worry about it now? For 30,000 yuan, you can buy a small courtyard house.

Go back and ask Dashan to find you a decent courtyard house.

Your family of five doesn't have to live in one room anymore. "Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"Next year, next year I will buy a courtyard house."

"Sister Tian, ​​you bought a courtyard house, let me know, and I'll find someone to help you transfer the ownership.

By the way, what are you going to dare next? "

"What next?
Of course, continue to sell things in Pigeon Market! "Tian Shumei said as a matter of course.

"Next year, Dashan and the others will go to Xiangjiang, and Pigeon City will slowly give up."

"Give up? The business in Pigeon City is so good now, why give up?"

"No matter how good the business in Pigeon Market is, it's not a formal business, it's speculation.

Just like you, do you dare to bring the goods back to the yard?
Do you dare to tell the people in the yard that you are setting up a stall in Pigeon Market?

Therefore, the pigeon market is not a long-term solution. "

Looking at Tian Shumei who was at a loss, Zhang Junping shook his head.

"Sister Tian, ​​you are now facing a difficult decision.

The first is to continue to set up stalls in the pigeon market, but once the mountain is gone, no one will provide you with supplies.

You need to find your own way to source. "

"What about the second?"

"Second, quit your job in the fertilizer factory and find a face to do business in a serious manner.

This is called, burn the boat!
Do you have the courage to smash your iron rice bowl? Zhang Junping asked with a smile.

"Pingzi, you said it very lightly.

Find a noren to do business, can the country allow it? "

"Sister Tian, ​​haven't you heard the news?
The Twelfth National Congress said: the individual economy is a necessary supplement to the public economy.

Therefore, the country now allows self-employment. "
