golden ear

Chapter 90 Zhao Ruzhen's Shop

"Zhongzheng is going to enter the capital?"

Wu Tianyuan came to Jianye headquarters the next morning to meet Hu Jianmin. Jianye also has many projects in the capital, so let's see if there is any suitable office space?
"Sooner or later, you also know that now is the most golden time in China. The army is strong and the horse is strong. In addition, Mr. Sun is about to retire, and he can finally use his remaining energy to help Yuyao. This is the best time."

Hu Jianmin nodded and said, "That's right. From now on, you young people will rule the world. It is his greatest blessing that Mr. Sun can get to know you, otherwise Zhongzheng will stay in the Central Plains for the rest of his life, and it will be difficult for him to have a bright future."

"Jianye has also been laying out in the capital for the past two years. Last year, it just developed several projects, including CBD and residential buildings. When you go to see the location first, then contact me and give you a cost price."

"Or if you get some more calligraphy and stamps, I'll give it to you for nothing!"

Wu Tianyuan looked at Hu Jianmin's shameless appearance, very much like him back then!
"We're going to the capital city? That's great, it's the capital city, and there are more chances of finding mistakes."

When Liu Meizi heard that she was going to open a branch in the capital, she became excited. This girl is full of energy and is very fanatical about picking up leaks.

"I asked that Jianye has a project in the capital. Let's go and have a look tomorrow and find the right one to find Hu Jianmin."

Wu Tianyuan looked at Sun Yuyao and Liu Meizi and said, "My Tianyuanju is also planning to open a store in Liulichang, Beijing, after all, that's where the antiques are. If I buy another house, I think I will have to struggle there for a long time, Liu Meizi You can buy a house directly in the capital!"

"It doesn't matter, I will go wherever the senior brother goes!"

Sun Yuyao nodded and said, "First choose Zhongzheng's office location. Grandpa selected a group of land reclamation people for us, all of whom are young people. Then I will also buy a house in the capital, so it will be convenient for us to travel on both sides."

"Well, let's go and have a look first, if there is a suitable piece to take."

The three of them are all rich, Wu Tianyuan has just [-] million in his hands, Sun Yuyao and Liu Meizi are both young ladies, and the next step is to spend a long time in the capital, so they will naturally buy a house to live in.

"This is the commercial building developed by Jianye in the East Third Ring CBD. The sixth, eighth, and tenth floors are all empty. What do you think, Yuyao?"

When the three of them arrived in the capital, they first came to choose the location of the main branch without stopping. After looking around, they were the most satisfied.

"That's it. The location and area are suitable. Grandpa said that spending more money requires pomp. This is the capital, and there are many dignitaries, so you can't be rude."

"I think this place is also good. You can see that there are residential buildings developed by Jianye. There are several small villas and single apartments. It is close to each other and saves traffic jams in the morning and evening."

Wu Tianyuan was very speechless about the traffic in the capital, so he lived closer to save himself from inhaling exhaust fumes on the road in the future.

The three of them came to the residential area again. The size of the villas is not too big, about [-] square meters.The environment is good and the security is complete.There are exactly three sets left, which are very close and convenient.

"Hu Jianmin gave us the biggest discount. The annual rent of the company is 300 million, and the rent of a villa is 1000 million, which is much cheaper."

Wu Tianyuan looked at the way Liu Meizi frowned, and said with a smile: "I know you only have 500 million, if you like it, I will make up the rest, and I will deduct it from your commission in the future!"

"Haha, senior brother treats me well! This time I can finally buy a villa by myself without relying on my father!"

Seeing Liu Meizi's excited look, Sun Yuyao was also quite satisfied, the three of them live very conveniently, Wu Tianyuan needless to say, Liu Meizi is simple-minded, just like her sister, it feels safe to have their company when she first arrives.

With Hu Jianmin's care, the procedures were quickly completed, and the three of them settled down in the capital that night.Wu Tianyuan looked at his new villa and reset the security system as soon as possible.Next time I want to bring all the treasures, this is the main battlefield in the future!

"There are a few of us here in the company, you go to Liulichang to have a look, don't worry."

The next day, all the people from Zhongzheng arrived in the capital, and Lao Yu followed with four or five people. Old Sun was watching over the Central Plains.Sun Yuyao rented a few more apartments as staff dormitories and struggled for a long time.

Wu Tianyuan drove to Liulichang, bought a store first, and put up the signboard of Tianyuanju first.At that time, I can find Ma Lao and introduce a reliable shopkeeper, and I can also open the shop.

Liulichang Street is located outside BJ Heping Gate. It is the most famous cultural street. It originated in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, most of the candidates who came to Beijing to take the imperial examination lived in this area. Therefore, there are many shops selling books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones. , forming a strong cultural atmosphere.There are many shops dealing in antique calligraphy and painting here.Most foreigners come here to travel in Beijing.

There are many famous old stores in Liulichang, such as Huaiyin Shanfang, Baoyinzhai, Guyizhai, Ruichengzhai, Cuiwenge, Yidege, Li Fushou Bizhuang, etc., as well as China Bookstore, the largest antique bookstore in China. And the three original bookstores in Xiliulichang - Commercial Press, Zhonghua Bookstore, and World Bookstore.

Both East and West Liulichang sell the Four Treasures of the Study. The pen shops are famous for their personal names such as "Li Fushou", "Wu Wenkui", and "Li Yutian". Among them, Dai Yuexuan is more famous and is said to be the authentic Hubi.

Qingmi Pavilion is the oldest and largest Nanzhi shop in Liulichang, and it has all the four treasures of the study.

Yidege ink factory was first built in the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty and has a history of more than [-] years.

Jiguge is an old shop with a long history specializing in the reproduction and restoration of cultural relics and antiques. It restores various cultural relics unearthed in history and Tang Sancai, ancient bronzes, ancient paintings, etc. for museums at home and abroad and in various provinces and cities. Enjoy a high reputation.

Wu Tianyuan walked around first, feeling the cultural atmosphere that has been accumulated for a hundred years. In the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, this place was the gathering place for dignitaries and great-eyed masters.Qi Baishi sells paintings in Rongbaozhai all year round, with fixed prices.Being able to open an antique shop in Liulichang is also a status symbol.

Wu Tianyuan finally walked to a store on the east side of Xiliulichang. The signboard had been removed, and the door was posted for sale.

After contacting, a real estate agent ran over quickly and began to introduce the store.The original owner was an old man, and his children immigrated to foreign countries. He was too old to manage the store, so he could only reluctantly sell it.

"Boss Wu, let me give you an inside story. It turns out that this is the old shop of the famous Zhao Ruzhen!"

Wu Tianyuan was taken aback for a moment, Zhao Ruzhen, a great collector in the Republic of China, by the way, he was making a living in Liulichang.

"Zhao Ruzhen started as a collector of Xuande furnaces in her early years and loved antiques. In 1937, she prepared to build an antique shop Cuizhen Zhai in Xiliulichang. It officially opened in 1938. She has written "Guide to Antiques", "Guide to Antiques Sequel", "Distinguishing Doubts about Antiques", etc. .”

The real estate agent seems to take this as a selling point, and introduced like a few treasures: "He first spent a huge sum of money to buy Xuande stoves, and collected more than 100 pieces. On the basis of the collection, he began to study again. He once sawed the Xuande stoves. Open, smelt and examine the alloy ratio of Xuande Furnace. Then collect and study calligraphy, ancient paintings, ancient calligraphy, bronze, ancient coins, ancient mirrors, porcelain, ancient jade, oracle bones, etc.

"If you buy Zhao Ruzhen's storefront, the customers will definitely come like a cloud in the future, and you will make a lot of money every day!"

While listening to the manager's introduction, Wu Tianyuan changed the storefront, which is 150 square meters, and there is a small warehouse at the back.A few bookshelves remained in the house, and all the antiques were removed.

"Are these bookshelves left over from the early years?" Wu Tianyuan asked suddenly.

"This?" The real estate agent was taken aback, wondering: "I really don't know, let me ask you."

He went out to call the landlord, and Wu Tianyuan took this opportunity to communicate, feeling ecstatic in his heart.

"It's really an old thing left over from the early years. The landlord said that it was there when he took it over. I heard that it was left by Zhao Ruzhen back then. He has never been willing to change it."

Wu Tianyuan nodded, that's right!After some bargaining, 500 million won!

"Here are the keys and procedures. From now on, you will be the big boss of Liulichang. I wish you a prosperous business!"

The real estate agent's smile was as bright as a chrysanthemum. I didn't expect that he would buy it directly after seeing it once. It was so refreshing.

Wu Tianyuan took out the regular shovel from the car, hurried back to the store, closed the door, moved the bookshelf on the east wall, and started digging!
