v2 Chapter 639： work for mother

After having a simple lunch with the top executives, Bao Zixuan and Huo Yingdong left. However, the richest man Bao has promised to write a feasibility report on what he said today, which made him feel a lot of pressure. After all, this is related to the strategic development of a country, and if it is not implemented well, there will be big problems.

Fortunately, the meaning to be expressed has been said today, and the final result can only be measured by Huaxia. This time I came to China mainland with a lot of harvest, at least all the projects I want to cooperate with have been completed.

The official business has been done, and the next step is to do his own private affairs; Peng Yifei knew that the boss's mother wanted a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but she put a lot of effort into it. Started to take the richest man Bao to visit the Liulichang antique market. The boss wants to be a dutiful son, and he must do things beautifully.

Liulichang Street is located outside the Peace Gate in Kyoto. It is a famous cultural street in Kyoto. It originated in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, most of the people who came to Beijing to take the imperial examinations lived in this area, so there are shops selling books, ink, paper and inkstone here. More, forming a strong cultural atmosphere. Most foreigners who come to Beijing come here.

In fact, far in the history of the Liao Dynasty, this place was not a city, but a suburb, which was called "Haiwang Village" at that time. Later, in the Yuan Dynasty, an official kiln was opened here to make glazed tiles. Since the construction of the inner city in the Ming Dynasty, the scale of the official kiln has been expanded due to the construction of the palace, and the Liulichang has become one of the five major factories of the Ministry of Industry at that time. After the construction of the outer city in the 32nd year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, it became an urban area, and it was not suitable for Liulichang to burn kilns in the city. It was moved to Liuliqu Village in Mentougou District, but the name "Liulichang" was retained and spread. to date.

In the past two years in Kyoto, Peng Yifei has visited the whole city several times. It can be said that he is very familiar with every corner of Kyoto city. After all, the task that the boss explained is to buy antique calligraphy and paintings without stopping. It can be said that he is now the largest antique collector in Kyoto and even in the whole of China, but all of this is just serving the richest man.

Looking at Liulichang Ancient Culture Street, it is still a little down. Later generations here and Panjiayuan are the must-see places when you come to Kyoto, but they are not on the scale of later generations.

Although he bought a lot of facades in the two antique markets, Bao Zixuan felt that it was not enough. Liulichang has already formed a scale, and all aspects tend to be stable. Panjiayuan will not form a market until 1992, and now is the best time to start.

But I just wanted to shrink the investment, why did the old problem happen again. It seems that it will take a few years to talk about it, but in fact, I can't blame him. Now China is full of treasures, and you can make money by investing in any field.

Bao Zixuan: "Now we have several stores in Liulichang."

Peng Yifei was a little embarrassed to hear this question, after all, the boss's financial support for him has never stopped. However, the traditional concept of Liulichang is very strong. Many of them are old shops that have been passed down for several generations, and there is no willingness to sell them at all. Unless absolutely necessary, no one will sell the storefront.

Peng Yifei: "There are only 4 of them now, and they are still relatively remote places. The main reason is that the core stores are basically handed down from ancestors, and few people are willing to transfer them."

Bao Zixuan knew that this was the actual situation, but he was still not satisfied with this figure. After all, as long as the funds that Peng Yifei applied for have never been given less, it seems that we still have to think of other ways.

Bao Zixuan: "We still have to speed up the speed. If we don't take advantage of the fact that we buy now, the cost will be even greater. Don't many people want to go abroad! If you want dollars, you can pay them dollars. In short, I want to see the effect. But I can't. By coercion and inducement, we are serious businessmen and cannot do illegal things."

Just as they were talking, the two came to the door of Cuiwen Pavilion, which was one of their main destinations today. There are things that Bao Zixuan needs in Cuiwen Pavilion, and there is only so much in Cuiwen Pavilion in the entire Kyoto. Other items can be purchased elsewhere.

Cuiwen Pavilion is located at the east entrance of Liulichang Cultural Street. Mr. Wei Changqing, the founder of calligraphy and seal cutting in Cuiwen Pavilion, is an artist who has achieved considerable achievements in calligraphy and seal cutting and appreciation of gold and stone. The calligraphy and seal cutting of Cuiwen Pavilion combines the specialties of famous masters to create its own unique style, with a simple and vigorous momentum, which has been praised by many domestic and foreign enthusiasts.

During the war, Yongbaozhai and Wenbaozhai closed one after another, and Cuiwen Pavilion was also cut off due to the source of stone for engraving seals, so it could only barely maintain. In order to survive, Wei Changqing led a few apprentices to collect and buy old seals, rubbed off the words and re-engraved them, changed the big to the small, and survived the hard days. Technology. The ink is also called ink. Cuiwenge's homemade ink pad is carefully processed with raw materials such as cinnabar, moxa, pearl, agate and castor oil.

The purpose of Bao Zixuan's visit to Cuiwen Pavilion was to buy the Eight Treasures Seal Pad and ask them to help carve a few seals. Of course, there are seals for themselves and for mothers. I haven’t had time before, so it’s more reassuring to come and do many things in person. The mother is just a little bit of a request, and the son must be done with heart.

Peng Yifei may be a frequent visitor here, and the guy hurriedly took them to the reception room after seeing him come in. And he went to the studio to invite Xu Botao over. After a brief greeting, Bao Zixuan realized that the old man in front of him was the chief disciple of the late founder Wei Changqing, and the leading sculptor in China.

Xu Baitao said with a smile: "Mr. Peng hasn't come to take care of my shop's business for a long time. I don't know why you are doing it this time. The shop is handed down by a family teacher, and I have no right to sell him."

Peng Yi flew over to buy a part of Wenwan before, and after seeing the location of the store, he really wanted to buy the entire store. And the price was not low, but as a store with an orderly inheritance, how could it be easy to make a move, and in the end, it could only be left to nothing.

Peng Yifei: "Mr. Xu is joking, since he was rejected, he has not dared to pay attention to your shop. This time I came with my boss. He wants to buy and customize some items in your shop. It can be said that he came here because of his reputation. "

Hearing that he was not buying the storefront, the old man's face became much better. Antique shops are struggling to support in this era. I heard that Peng Yifei's boss is a rich man in Xiangjiang, but he never expected to be so young.

Xu Baitao said to Bao Zixuan, "I don't know if the distinguished guest is far away, and please ask for atonement. I dare to ask what the distinguished guest is called."

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, you are very kind, here at Bao Zixuan, come from Xiangjiang. I heard that your shop has deep attainments in gold and stone carving, and you are the master of Wei Changqing; I would like to ask you to help my mother and myself engrave a few seals."

"In addition, I am also very interested in the Eight Treasures of your shop. I don't know how many stocks are there now. If it is convenient, you can buy them all. The price will definitely satisfy you."

In fact, when Peng Yifei said that his boss came to Xu Baitao, he had already guessed who the young man in front of him was, and now he heard the other party reporting his family. Immediately understand that this is a big money lord, and must serve well. Artists are people too, and they need to support their families, and their shops need a lot of money.

The name Bao Zixuan has often appeared in major media in China in recent days Isn't this young man the richest man in Hong Kong! I heard that people's assets can reach hundreds of billions or US dollars. No one dares to imagine how much this is.

Xu Baitao: "It turned out to be Mr. Bao, I said how it looks so familiar. There is no problem with the seal, but the output of the Eight Treasures is really limited, and it is easy to waste if you buy too much at one time. I can supply you a part, I believe it is enough. Mrs. Bao used it for a year and a half."

"If you need to establish a long-term cooperative relationship, we will provide you with a batch of Babao ink pads on a regular basis every year."

"In addition, whether the materials for carving seals are provided by the store or brought by Mr. Bao himself, Cuiwen Pavilion also has requirements for carving materials."

In fact, this is not difficult to understand. After all, it is contempt for a long-established master to carve on ordinary stone.

Besides, people are also worried about smashing their own signs, and people will definitely attach great importance to reputation to a certain extent. Xu Botao, as a special-class calligraphy and seal engraver, a member of the Kyoto Calligraphers Association and a member of the Creation Review Committee, a member of the Huaxia Calligraphers Association, and a consultant to the Chinese Academy of Calligraphy Association, a powerful person who enjoys special national allowances is absolutely qualified to choose carving materials.
