Portable Museum

"Okay! I won't say much else!

This is a peace card carved by myself, a small gadget, you can play with it! "After Zhang Junping finished training, he took out four pieces of jade pendants as meeting gifts and gave them to the four people.

These four Ping An cards are regular 461 jade cards.

461 refers to a width of 4cm, a height of 6cm, and a thickness of 1cm. This is the most common size of jade tags, and it is also divided according to the golden ratio.

In addition, there are 58 cards and random cards.

461 is the most beautiful jade card and the most precious jade card.

Jade is always cracked, and the perfect 461 jade brand is no worse than suet jade.

On one side of Zhang Junping’s sculpted Ping’an Plaque is a relief engraved with the words “safe and sound” and on the other side is a pair of poems and paintings, which are also reliefs. There is a saying: A cloud of mist and rain can lead a lifetime.

Under the four big characters of "safe and sound", there are two small characters, Li Wenjuan's is Xianyue, Xia Guoxiang's is Xianyun, and Huaizhi's are Xianjin and Xianyu respectively.

These two small characters are the characters that Zhang Junping gave them. Li Wenjuan's characters are taken from Qianli Gong Chanjuan. Successor to ancestors.

Zhang Junping didn't bother to think about the generation, so he simply took out the virtuous characters of his next generation.

The combination is not bad, but Zhou Mingzhi, because he considered that it should be compatible with the two brothers' Huaizhi, chose the word Jinyu.

As a result, Zhou Mingzhi's character became Xianyu.

Yu is right, what is wrong is that the combination of the two words is easy to be confused with salted fish.

However, Zhang Junping didn't bother to change it anymore, and hoped that this little apprentice would not really become a salted fish in the future.

After the gift is delivered, the apprenticeship ceremony is over. After all, this is a new era, and it is the end of the 70 years generation, so it is not suitable for a large-scale apprenticeship ceremony.

At noon, Zhang Junping treated guests at Zhiweizhai.

Zhiweizhai is the restaurant opened by Zhang Junping outside Guang'anmen.

The plaque of the restaurant was naturally inscribed and carved by Zhang Junping himself.

It is more solid than writing and letting craftsmen carve.

"This restaurant is owned by my family. Today you are the first guests of the restaurant." Zhang Junping said to everyone with a smile.

The parents of Li Wenjuan and Xia Guoxiang were already stunned. Today's apprenticeship gave them too much shock.

First there was a courtyard with three entrances, and then there was such a large restaurant.

What kind of fairy master did my daughter/son worship?

Originally, Li Wenjuan and Xia Guoxiang's parents were somewhat resistant to apprenticeship. After all, it is a new era, and they still practice the old society, and they feel a little disgusted.

However, I couldn't stand my daughter/son's pleading, so I had to agree.

Now, they are a little lucky, their daughter/son really has good eyesight, and they have found such a powerful master.

Compared to them, Uncle Liu was even more shocked, with mixed feelings in his heart. Who would have thought that the young man who is usually very kind to everyone and smiles all day, would actually create such a big business quietly.

Mrs. Zhou and Tian Shumei were relatively calm, after all, they had already known about Zhang Junping's abilities.

Those who can make them earn tens of thousands of dollars with a casual confession, will their fortune be small?

"Tong Fei, is this the word you mentioned on the plaque? It's very good. It's very skillful. Every stroke is penetrating into the wood. The writing is good, and the engraver is also a famous artist." Standing outside the restaurant, Wu Xinping looked at the plaque and commented road.

"Master, thank you, I made this plaque myself!" Zhang Junping said with a smile.

I can't help but slander in my heart, what kind of word is this!
In terms of cultural literacy, it is really passed down in the same line as the teacher, Mr. Baishi. Back then, Qigong was embarrassed because of Mr. Baishi's random poetry, so he gradually alienated and finally left the school and called himself a school.

"Oh? You can also carve?" Wu Xinping asked in surprise.

"A little bit. I used to learn a lot, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and poetry, boxing, medicine, jade carving, porcelain art, and wood art." Zhang Junping said modestly.

"I didn't expect you to be an all-rounder!" Wu Xinping was stunned for a moment before he spoke.

Wu Xinping comforted himself in his heart: This apprentice is good at everything, but he likes to brag, but he does not hide his flaws.

"I don't dare to be an all-rounder, it's just miscellaneous but not refined." Zhang Junping didn't explain much, and invited everyone into the restaurant.

After entering the restaurant, Zhang Junping smiled and said to everyone: "The restaurant has not officially opened to the public, so today there is only our table.

There are no waiters either, so you four little guys will act as waiters! "

"Got it, Master!"

"Take care of your little junior brothers!" Zhang Junping urged again.

"Don't worry, Master!" Li Wenjuan agreed with a smile.

After the apprenticeship, the next day will be the seventh day of the first lunar month, the day to go to work.

Zhang Junping got up early in the morning from the gentle village, washed up, and went out to buy breakfast.

After eating breakfast with Qiu Wenyan, I went to work by bicycle.

Painting shops, this kind of commercial shops, are supposed to have no holidays.

This has always been the case in the past, just like Xinhua Bookstore, there are people on duty even during Chinese New Year.

However, now the art shop is not under the jurisdiction of Xinhua Bookstore, but under the management of the Press and Publishing House.

When I met Zhang Junping, who didn't follow the rules, it was natural for me to have a holiday.

Not only is it a holiday, but it is also several days longer than others.

In addition, so many benefits were distributed years ago, which made them look good in front of their relatives and neighbors.

There is a saying that the Manchu nobles in Sijiu City often say: what lives is a face.

The old BJ people were greatly influenced by the nobles of the Qing Dynasty, and many people have this concept: what lives is a face.

In just one month, Zhang Junping has established a firm foothold in the painting shop, and his prestige is second only to the old store manager Wu Xinping.

However, Wu Xinping is his master now, so it means that he can say what he says in a painting shop.

Zhang Junping received a warm welcome as soon as he arrived at the painting shop.

The big sisters in the business hall are so enthusiastic about him.

The store manager shouted one bite at a time.

"Big sisters, today is the first day of work, and everyone has only one task.

That is to clean up and clean up well before opening for business. "Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"Chief Lu Ke went to buy some cleaners.

The art shop had never been closed before, so there wasn't so much dust, and there weren't so many rags and mops. "Chen Lijun reported with a smile.

"Well, not bad! It's commendable to be proactive." Zhang Junping laughed.

If you want to buy a few rags and mops, you have to wait for approval, so Zhang Junping doesn't have to do anything else.

When they went to the office on the second floor, Li Wenjuan and Xia Guoxiang had arrived ahead of schedule, cleaned up Zhang Junping's office, and made Zhang Junping his favorite jasmine tea.

Zhang Junping sat on the office chair and took a sip from the teacup, it was cool!
In the morning, after eating a cup of strong tea, the aroma of the tea permeates the mouth, and the whole person feels refreshed.

"Master, what are you doing today?"

"Go down and help clean up first, and build a good relationship with them.

There is probably nothing important in the first month, so you should put more effort into your homework.

I will give you one year to read all the books I have here.

It's not just finished after reading, you have to understand the ideas in the book and have your own opinions. "Zhang Junping casually assigned homework to the two apprentices.

As for the other two apprentices, they are just practicing calligraphy for the time being, each with a regular script copybook, and let Tian Shumei and Mrs. Zhou supervise the practice.

Then there is the horse step to lay the foundation from an early age.

Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, nothing happened.

In addition to the first day of work, Zhang Junping reported to the art shop, and then went to the Press and Publication Bureau to pay New Year's greetings to the leaders.

Then I went to the Materials Bureau to pay New Year greetings to the former leaders.

The next day, I hid in the Dashilan courtyard and concentrated on beating furniture.

I don't hear anything outside the window, and I only make furniture.

In fact, it's not that they don't really ignore things outside the window. Li Wenjuan and Xia Guoxiang come over every day to report to Zhang Junping what happened in the painting shop in a day.

The seventh day was relatively quiet.

Since the eighth day of the eighth day, the art shop has been bustling.

All day long, people kept coming to visit Wu Xinping, the purpose of which was naturally for that world tour exhibition.

At the same time, every day, people come to the painting shop with a lot of calligraphy and painting works for sale.

At this time, the purchase price of the celebrity's calligraphy and painting by the art shop has been increased by a hundred times according to Zhang Junping's request.

The original purchase price of a few cents or a few yuan for a pair of calligraphy and painting has become tens or hundreds of dollars.

This made many artists who came to sell their paintings feel a little more balanced.

Although the price is not high, it is more or less worthy of their hard work.

After all, the domestic economic situation is like this. For well-known artists, a painting can be sold for one hundred to several hundred yuan, which is higher than their monthly salary.

This also made the art shop's business boom for a while.

Just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhang Junping had to go back to the painting shop.

According to Zhang Junping's request, during this period of time, the paintings in the painting shop are only accepted and not sold.

As a result, there is a problem, the art shop has insufficient funds.

The start-up capital of 200,000 given years ago was gone.

If Zhang Junping hadn't bought a batch of paintings from an art shop years ago, he wouldn't even be able to last the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

It is conceivable how many paintings have been collected during this period.

Thousands of works by well-known artists were collected, and there were even more paintings by young artists, with thousands of copies.

These are the stocks accumulated by these people over the past few years.

In fact, this is very normal. Zhang Junping would do the same thing if he were Zhang Junping. My paintings are only a few cents or a few yuan for a pair in your art shop. As long as you have the opportunity to go abroad, these paintings can be sold immediately Hundreds of thousands of times the price.

Although there are few opportunities to go abroad in this era, there are still some.

Especially famous artists are often invited to go abroad for exchange, to participate in some international art competitions and so on.

At this time, it is normal to carry a dozen or more than 20 works with you.

Once I went out and sold my works, I got tens of thousands of foreign exchange.

Zhang Junping can understand this very well.

He himself can't be impartial, and sells his works cheaply to art shops, so how dare he ask others.

Those well-known artists, anyway, will sell a few works to art shops every year.

Zhang Junping didn't even sell a pair of works in art shops.

The reason is also very good. In order to avoid suspicion, I am afraid that others will say that I am taking advantage of the public.

Zhang Junping rushed to the painting shop, took the data of calligraphy and paintings purchased in the recent period, and then rushed to the Press and Publishing Bureau without stopping.

At this time, someone in Director Cao's office was reporting to work.

Zhang Junping waited outside the door for more than half an hour before entering.

"Xiao Zhang, your art shop is doing very well recently!" Cao Xiangqian said with a smile as soon as they met.

"The leader is laughing at him. It's all a joke." Zhang Junping said modestly.

"Tell me, why did you come to see me?" Cao Xiangqian didn't say anything else, and directly asked Zhang Junping why he came.

"Come to ask the leader for help.

This week, the art shop received a total of 150 pieces of works by famous artists, and 660 pieces of works by well-known young artists.

This alone costs more than 30.

There is no money in the account. "Zhang Junping spread his hands and said embarrassingly.

"Hehe! You little Zhang, you don't have any money, did you think of looking for me?

How did I hear that your painting shop only accepts and does not sell?

How much money is enough for you to toss about? " Cao Xiangqian asked with a smile.

Because Zhang Junping is the son-in-law of the deputy mayor of the Standing Committee, Cao Xiangqian is still more concerned about the painting shop, so he naturally knows the current situation of the painting shop.

"Leader, it's not that we don't sell calligraphy and paintings, you also know that the purpose of the art shop in the city is to exchange artworks for foreign exchange.

If we sell these works of art cheaply in China, it would be a bit of a waste of money.

I plan to hold a world tour exhibition of Chinese art after the city approves the plan.Sell ​​all the hard-working works of our artists abroad.

Think about it, there are now more than 30,000 pieces of art in the art shop, and if they are all shipped abroad, even if one piece is only sold for one hundred dollars, that is more than three million dollars in foreign exchange.

If there are 10 pieces, that's $[-] million.

The foreign art market is huge. I asked foreign friends to do a survey, and the annual art transaction volume can reach hundreds of billions of dollars.

Just think about it, now a few million RMB investment can be exchanged for 10 million or even more US dollar foreign exchange.

Director, I personally feel that if I don't do this kind of business, I will be sorry for the trust placed in me by the party and the country! "Zhang Junping said righteously.

"Hehe! What do you mean, if I don't approve a few million funds for you, I will be sorry for the trust of the party and the country?" Cao Xiangqian laughed angrily.

If it weren't for the fact that this kid was the son-in-law of his immediate boss, Cao Xiangqian would have thrown him out straight away.

"Leader, you misunderstood, so many things up and down in the Press and Publication Bureau need you to worry about.

The foreign exchange of 10 million US dollars is not a small amount of income for our painting shop, but for you, it is just an insignificant amount of money. " Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"The Press and Publication Bureau doesn't run a bank, it's a few million, thanks to what you said.

How much is the annual budget of the entire Press and Publication Bureau?
I will give you 500,000 at most, if you want it, if you don’t...you can think of other ways. "Cao Xiangqian said angrily.

The subtext is to tell Zhang Junping that only 500,000 is too little to find your father-in-law.

"That, leader! You misunderstood, I didn't intend to ask you for money!"

"No money? Then what do you want?" Cao Xiangqian froze for a moment and asked with a smile.

"I want policy, I want authorization!
As long as you agree, I can contact the bank and apply for a loan! "Zhang Junping stated his purpose.

The Press and Publishing Bureau is an administrative institution, and it is fed with full finances. How can it be said that it can approve millions of funds for art shops casually.

Therefore, Zhang Junping did not intend to ask Cao Xiangqian directly for money at the beginning.

"A loan from a bank? Can someone lend you a loan?"

"Leader, the value of the works of those well-known artists is obvious to all. Many of them have held art exhibitions abroad, and how much their works are worth abroad can be found out with a little research.

I took those works of art as collateral for a loan, how could they disagree?

If the domestic bank refuses to give me a loan, I will contact a foreign bank for a loan. Zhang Junping said confidently.

"Okay, as long as you can persuade the bank to lend you a loan, I can authorize you!" Cao Xiangqian nodded.

"Thank you for your support!"

"Is there anything else?" Cao Qiang asked with a smile.

The subtext of this sentence is: talk about things if you have something to do, and get out if you have nothing to do.

"Leader, we still want to apply for two magazines! One is called "BJ Painting Shop", one is to commemorate BJ Painting Shop, and the other is to promote the art of calligraphy and painting; the other is called "Chinese Traditional Art", the purpose is also for better publicity Our traditional art."

"Well! I see, you can make a report." Cao Xiangqian nodded and said cheerfully.

Running a magazine for publicity was mentioned in the previous plan, so Cao Xiangqian readily approved it.

Mainly, he also received news that the city government had already approved Zhang Junping's plan, and the city committee had no objections, so he had to go through it at the meeting before it would be approved.

It's not a big deal to run two magazines in advance.

Running a magazine, in the eyes of ordinary people, is extremely difficult, but in the eyes of Cao Xiangqian, it is not a problem at all.

Whoever makes the Press and Publication Bureau responsible for this.

After leaving the Press and Publication Bureau, Zhang Junping went to the BJ branch of the Bank of China.

Zhang Junping did not go to the business hall in front, but walked around and went to the office building behind.

"Comrade, who are you looking for?" A young man in a gray Chinese tunic stopped Zhang Junping and asked.

"I'm looking for the leader of our bank! I have a large amount of foreign exchange business to handle." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"For foreign exchange business, go to the business hall in front."

"This is tens of millions of dollars of foreign exchange business." Zhang Junping took out a check written on the car and showed it to the other party.

"Then come with me! I'm the president's correspondent, and I'll take you to the leader." The young man saw that the check was real, and Zhang Junping had an extraordinary bearing, so he politely brought Zhang Junping to the president. office.

Tens of millions of dollars in foreign exchange is not a small amount.

Even later generations, with tens of millions of dollars, can directly talk to the president of the city-level branch.

In this era, he is fully qualified to have a dialogue with the president of the Capital Branch.

"Comrade, what is the last name of our president?"

"The president's surname is Liu! It's a coincidence that I happened to be here to print a document.

Otherwise, it's really not easy for you to meet the president. "The young man said with a smile.

"I seem to be lucky." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

After a while, I arrived at the governor's office.

"Wait a minute, I'll go in and report."
