Chapter 388 Be Your Own Master

"My words?" I asked in a bit of shock.

"Yes." Lu Li smiled and nodded.

"He, why would he want my words?" I still couldn't believe it.

The relationship between Mr. Jiang and Mr. Mo is so good, and the relationship with Mr. Yu is not bad. It is not difficult for him to ask Mr. Yu for calligraphy, but this living room wants to hang my calligraphy?

Although my handwriting is good and I am very confident, I am not yet arrogant enough to think that I can compare to the old man.

This calligraphy is full of talent and hard work, but it also has years of experience and insights in it.

As Mr. Mo said, the font is easy to practice, and the meaning of the word is rare.

I've only just scratched the surface.

Lu Li looked at me and smiled, took the apple from my hand that I had only bitten into, and said softly, "Mr. Jiang is a collector, do you know what a collector is?"

I was a little dazed and said, "That is, to collect those antiques, antiques, calligraphy and paintings that I like?"

Lu Li laughed again, and opened his mouth to take a bite of the apple.

I saw that the place where he opened his mouth was actually the one I had bitten just now, and I was about to remind him, when I heard him say: "You are wrong, what you said is called collection, but it is different if you add a word for it, This is just to make a profit by adding a character, and to make a collection is not just a collection, but to make a profit from the collection.”

Suddenly, I forgot what to remind him, and asked, "For example, I bought books and Qin Jian at a low price and sold them to you?"

But, isn't that called picking up leaks?It was he who told me the word.

Lu Li smiled lightly, slowly chewed the piece of apple that he bit into, and then slowly said: "Of course it's different, you are called picking up leaks, and you are fighting for your eyesight and luck. This kind of opportunity does not come across at any time. Yes, as for those who run around to collect old things or things that come out of the field, they can only be called antique businessmen, they rely on buying and selling some antiques to make a difference in price, and they can’t even get close to the collection.”

I let out a huh, and with a puzzled smile, I asked, "Then? What's so special about this collector?"

"First of all, collecting something doesn't mean buying something and selling it immediately, but keeping it in your hands for a period of time. Whether you want to enjoy it for yourself or set up a small museum for everyone to see, you won't change hands immediately after you get it. "

Lu Li took another bite of the apple, and continued: "The meaning of making is the meaning of operation. Let's take Mr. Zhang as an example. When Mr. Zhang was still unknown, a certain collector saw him Therefore, I first bought a lot of his words, or signed an agreement, and then after these words came into my hands, I put them away for a period of time, and then, I found an opportunity to start raising Teacher Zhang’s reputation, Of course, the time to improve reputation varies. Some, like Mr. Zhang, have been promoted to several levels in a few years. Some, it may take 20 years, and even the author has passed away before they are worth a lot. When the value of these works rises to a certain level, they can be sold. Picking up leaks is a rare thing to happen. Buying and selling antiques is risky, and there are many mistakes, and once the source is not clean, it will be returned. If you want to get into a lawsuit, but if you fancy an author and train them, it will be a huge profit, not only has no risk, but also has a very good reputation."

I looked at him in shock, and stammered: "This, this..."

Actually...you can still do this!
I guess I look a little bit like that, Lu Li looked at me, his eyes were a little smiling, and said: "Don't think this is easy, it's not so easy to do it, it's a collection , first of all, he must be a well-known collector in the circle, and to be a collector, besides having real eyesight, he must also own a certain number of collectibles, and those collectibles must not only be authentic, but also To have some weight, to be able to collect a certain amount of collections of that level, you must not only have the economic strength of tens of millions of dollars to sell casually, but also have time. There are not many people who can meet these conditions, and only on this basis, Only then have the vision and strength to do so.”

After finishing speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with some emotion: "It's not so easy to hold a person up."

At the time, I didn't know if it was the wrong nerve, or it might be the sequelae of drunkenness, and my head just went crazy.

When I saw his appearance, my eyes lit up, and then I jumped up immediately, and ran to the table where Lu Li was preparing to practice calligraphy. While spreading out the rice paper, grinding the ink, and picking up the pen, I smiled flatteringly at Lu Li. : "I'll write it for you right now, take a look, what do you want to write? You can pick whatever you want, and I can write whatever you want!"

With a puff, Lu Li sprayed out the apple residue from his mouth.

Although there was a distance between us, one or two spots were sprayed on my face.

I didn't care about those one or two points, and quickly dropped the pen again, rushed to his side, fetched water for him, and patted his back.

I just choked on an apple, and he still squirted...

Am I in a hurry, I didn't even pay attention, the water glass I gave him was the one I drank just now.

Lu Li covered her mouth and coughed fiercely, looked at me from the corner of her eyes while coughing, then took the glass of water, and took two sips slowly.

I patted him on the back and said apologetically, "Are you all right? Didn't you choke?"

Lu Li took another sip of water, stopped coughing, and calmed down a bit, then said to me with a look of hating iron but not steel: "You idiot!"

Uh……

I was very cooperative and said: "Well, do you know that my brain is not as useful as yours..."

As for me, although I'm not as smart as Lu Li, I'm not as stupid as a pig. After he said this, I knew that my understanding of this should be wrong.

Doesn't Lu Li need my works to cultivate me as an author...

Lu Li glanced at me sideways from the corner of his eyes, took another sip of water, sighed, and stretched out his flamboyant fingers.

His fingers almost flicked to the center of my forehead, and I was ready, but he didn't flick, just pressed between my eyebrows, and said lightly: "Xiaoqing, you, don't be a puppet in other people's hands. You have to be your own master."

I looked at him in surprise and said, "Why do you say that?"

I don't want to be someone else's puppet.

Lu Li smiled, pressed his finger between my eyebrows again, and said, "Do you think that Teacher Zhang didn't pay for his fame? Do you think that after becoming famous, Teacher Zhang will live a comfortable life? Do you know, Teacher Zhang? Before becoming famous, all the excellent works are no longer in his hands, and after becoming famous, the number of works produced is very limited, do you think it is because he wants to pursue excellence, and he doesn't want to make money?"

Before I could speak, Lu Li chuckled, and said in a low voice: "Xiaoqing, if you benefit from others, you have to pay a corresponding price. If you sell yourself to those who collect, you will become a puppet, and your life should be Freedom, you, absolutely cannot be anyone’s puppet, so, whether it’s learning or calligraphy, don’t take it as a profession, you can enjoy that kind of fun and use it..."

Lu Li's voice suddenly stopped, and he coughed violently.

He covered his lips with one hand, hurriedly put down the teacup with the other, and covered his lips with both hands.

Get up again hastily.

I followed him to get up with some anxiety, but was shut out by the door which he slammed shut after rushing into the bedroom.

At that moment, I saw a dark red flash between his fingers.
