Everyone walked towards the hotel, Shu Ze said with a smile: "This guy does keep his word, but he is too rigid. If we hadn't been here, he would have suffered a loss today."
Meng Zitao smiled and said: "Not necessarily, maybe someone else will come forward?"
Shu Ze said disdainfully: "Come on, people these days generally have nothing to do with themselves. How many people would mind their own business? With that kid's character, society will sooner or later teach him how to behave."
Meng Zitao shrugged his shoulders: "Everyone has his own way of survival. Do you know that he has no one to support him? And there are a few people in the antique business who are not human beings. If he is an honest person, I will really I don¡¯t believe he can survive in this industry.¡±
Perhaps in response to Meng Zitao's words, early the next morning, Meng Zitao was about to go downstairs for breakfast when he received a call from the young man, saying that he had a set of ancient books in his hand and wanted to sell them to him, and asked where he could go now. inconvenient.
Meng Zitao told him about the hotel where he was staying. After he had breakfast, the young man arrived.
Xu Jianbin took out a few ancient books from his bag and put them in front of Meng Zitao: "Teacher Meng, thank you for what happened yesterday. This is a set of "Shizhuzhai Painting Manual" that I got two years ago. Please take a look."
The eight volumes of "Shizhuzhai Painting Book" were compiled and selected by Hu Zhengyan in the late Ming Dynasty, including Gaoyang, Ling Yunhan, Wu Shiguan, Wei Zhihuang, Wei Zhike, Hu Zongzhi, Gao You and Monk Xingyi. Engraved by Hu Zhengyan, Wang Kai and others. A painting book-like book published in the 17th year of Chongzhen's reign in the Ming Dynasty
"Shizhuzhai Painting Book" also has the function of collecting famous paintings and teaching painting techniques for people to appreciate and copy. It is divided into eight categories: "Calligraphy and Painting Pu", "Ink Pu", "Fruit Pu", "Feather Pu", "Orchid Pu", "Bamboo Pu", "Plum Pu" and "Stone Pu". It includes Hu Zhengyan's own paintings and copies of ancient works and paintings. Thirty famous works of the Ming Dynasty. There are about 20 paintings in each score, each with an inscription and poem in excellent calligraphy, for a total of 180 paintings and 140 calligraphy works.
Therefore, it is quite famous in the field of calligraphy and painting, and is one of the best comprehensive paintings in China.
Meng Zitao was slightly surprised when he saw the ancient book in front of him, because it was not a printed book uploaded on the market, but a handwritten copy. He picked up one and opened it, and was even more surprised, because the author was quite good in terms of calligraphy and painting skills. It's extraordinary, and there's a sense of d¨¦j¨¤ vu.
However, what makes Meng Zitao feel regretful is that these manuscripts are not well preserved. Basically every copy has missing pages, and some of them are in key places. This makes the inscriptions, inscriptions, etc. unable to prove who the author is. The place is gone.
After reading all eight volumes of "Ten Bamboo Studio Painting Manual", Meng Zitao guessed who the author might be. He felt a little excited and quickly used his powers on these volumes of painting manuals. The result not only confirmed his guess, but also To his great surprise, the opportunity to view treasures that he had not encountered for a long time actually appeared again.
Speaking of which, Meng Zitao had met two people with "Guan Bao" artifacts not that long apart, so he thought that the number of times he encountered people who could use the "Guan Bao" skill should be quite high, but he didn't expect that until just now, he had not I didn't encounter it once, and then I realized that artifacts that can be used for "treasure viewing" are quite rare.
However, Meng Zitao felt that he knew enough things, and it didn't matter whether he could "observe treasures", so he didn't take it to heart. But just when he was about to forget about it, it suddenly appeared again, which was really an unexpected surprise.
What makes Meng Zitao even more excited is that the author of this set of "Ten Bamboo Studio Painting Manual" is actually Shi Tao.
Shi Tao is well-known in the world of calligraphy and painting. As the most creative and outstanding painter in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, he was good at flowers, fruits and vegetables, orchids and bamboos, as well as figures, and was especially good at landscapes.
His paintings focus on "searching all the strange peaks to make drafts", which is contrary to the antique style at that time. The composition of his paintings is novel, the pen and ink are vigorous and vertical, dripping and smooth, and he embodies the tranquility in the bold and bold momentum, and has a unique look. He is good at calligraphy and poetry. Together with Hongren, Kuncan and Zhu Da, they are known as the "Four Eminent Monks of the Early Qing Dynasty".
Meng Zitao is a little confused as to how Shi Tao could write the "Shizhuzhai Painting Book" himself. Of course, he doesn't need to understand this kind of thing, as long as he can get benefits. He couldn't help but be excited thinking that he would soon be able to learn Shi Tao's painting techniques.
After suppressing his excitement, Meng Zitao raised his head and said to Xu Jianbin: "This set of "Shizhuzhai Painting Book" is very good. The calligraphy and painting on it have the artistic conception of Shi Tao, but it is a pity that it is not well preserved."
Regarding Xu Jianbin, Meng Zitao didn¡¯t really want to lie. Of course, he couldn¡¯t tell the author directly. However, he believed that even if he said this, Xu Jianbin would not treat Meng Zitao as a hammer.
Xu Jianbin said with some surprise: "Do you think the author is Shi Tao?"
MengTao said vaguely: "I'm not sure about this, I just say it has a bit of Shi Tao's style."
"Maybe it's just similar to Shi Tao's style, or imitating Shi Tao." Xu Jianbin nodded, and then said: "Teacher Meng, if you think this set of "Shizhuzhai Painting Manual" is acceptable, please accept it."
Meng Zitao said: "I think this set of "Ten Bamboo Studio Painting Manual" is quite valuable. I'm not polite. Please give me a price. Although I understand what you mean, if it is too cheap, I will be embarrassed to buy it. ah."
Xu Jianbin hesitated and said, "Ten thousand."
Meng Zitao smiled and shook his head: "What if the author is indeed Shi Tao?"
Xu Jianbin was able to see clearly: "That is also your ability. As a small businessman, I will definitely not be able to prove that its author is Shi Tao."
Meng Zitao smiled and waved his hand: "Let me tell you the truth, if we were in business, I would lower the price for 10,000 yuan, but now, I can't let you suffer a loss. After all, the price is 100,000 yuan for a book. I¡¯ll give you eight hundred thousand.¡±
It¡¯s not that Meng Zitao can¡¯t give more, but some things must be done in moderation. In fact, even at this price, ordinary people will murmur in their hearts and worry about whether there will be any problems.
Xu Jianbin¡¯s reaction was similar to Meng Zitao¡¯s guess. He was shocked when he heard Meng Zitao¡¯s words. The price was far beyond his expectation. Instead of being excited, he was stunned.
After a while, Xu Jianbin came to his senses: "Teacher Meng, is your price a bit high?"
Meng Zitao smiled: "It depends on what you think. You may have made a profit or you may have lost."
Xu Jianbin scratched his head: "To be honest, this price really makes my head hurt, but I originally planned to give this set of "Ten Bamboo Studio Painting Manual" to you. You can pay whatever price you want."
"good."
Meng Zitao smiled. In fact, the reason why he gave the price of 800,000 was to test Xu Jianbin. Now it seems that Xu Jianbin's answer is in line with his judgment. He can contact him more in the future. If there is no problem, he can absorb it. Join your own team.
Meng Zitao transferred the money to Xu Jianbin, and then had a casual chat with Xu Jianbin, gradually understanding some of Xu Jianbin's situation.
The two were chatting when Shu Ze came over and joined in the chat.
At around nine o'clock, Chai Chengxuan arrived with the painting. Seeing that they were busy, Xu Jianbin said goodbye.
"It seems that you are right. There are not many people in this industry who are not smart." Shu Ze said with a smile.
Meng Zitao said: "He is really not a good person, he just has principles in doing things."
"It's good to have principles. I'll ask him later if he is willing to work for me." Chai Chengxuan said.
Meng Zitao immediately said: "No, Brother Xuan, please don't steal people from me."
Shu Ze asked: "You also like him?"
Meng Zitao nodded: "Look at how big my stall is. With the development in the future, it will definitely expand. Then the manpower will be even tighter. I have to build a talent pool no matter what. I can't just go to the store whenever there are difficulties. Please help me."
Shu Ze agrees with Meng Zitao's idea and doesn't think there is any problem with it. The brothers have settled the accounts clearly. It is impossible for him to rely on others all the time. What's more, it is still a personnel matter, let alone careless.
Next, Chai Chengxuan took out his painting and asked Meng Zitao to identify it. The result was that there was nothing unexpected and it was indeed a fake. This shattered Chai Chengxuan's last hope, and he became very depressed. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
