v2 Chapter 640: work for mother 2

Fortunately, Bao Zixuan was already prepared, otherwise it would be a headache if he couldn't choose good materials in the store. You must be careful when doing things for your mother, so when Peng Yifei took out the materials, even the well-informed Xu Botao was a bright spot. After all, it is not an ordinary stone, and it is called Shoushantian Huangshi, which is known as the Emperor of India in the stone.

Tian Huangshi, referred to as "Tian Huang", is named after the yellow color produced under the rice fields on both sides of "Shoushan Stream" in Shoushan Township, Fu City. Excellent variety of Shoushan stone. In a narrow sense, Tianhuangshi refers to "Tiankeng stone", and in a broad sense, Tianhuangshi refers to the general name of a type of seal stone with the same chemical composition.

In terms of physical properties and characteristics of arts and crafts, Tianhuang stone is similar to Shoushan stone and has become an independent seal stone variety.

Where did Tian Huang get his name from? In short, a yellow colored stone found in rice fields. Another reason why Tian Huangshi is rare is that on earth, it is only found in the sand layer under the long and narrow paddy fields on both sides of a small stream in Shoushan Village. And after hundreds of years of continuous mining, the paddy fields in Shoushan Village have been dug countless times, and now they have been fully exploited, and the high-quality Tianhuang has long been a priceless treasure. In ancient times, there was a saying that "one tael of Tianhuang and three taels of gold", but now it should be "two" versus "jin", so the price of Tianhuang has risen rapidly.

According to folklore, after Nuwa mends the sky, there are still many spiritual stones of different sizes left. So she patrolled the sky over the land of Shenzhou, and finally found that the mountains and rivers of Shoushan were full of air, the forests were quiet, and the scenery was beautiful, so she scattered these spiritual stones that were once used to mend the sky to the land of Shoushan. Tanaka's "Tian Huangshi".

Emperor Qianlong sealed Tian Huang as Emperor Yin, and the chicken blood was sealed as Yin Emperor, which shows the preciousness of this stone. Peng Yifei took out these pieces, which are absolutely top-grade in Tian Huangshi, which can be said to be precious.

Bao Zixuan: "I don't know if these few things can enter the eyes of Xu Laofa, or if there are better materials in Cuiwen Pavilion, they can also come out."

Xu Baitao: "It's too precious. I haven't seen this kind of material for many years. Not to mention Cuiwen Pavilion, but I can't find such a good material in Kyoto City. It can be said to be the top material in our gold and stone world. These things should be expensive!"

Peng Yifei said with a smile: "It cost 100,000."

Hearing the price, Xu Baitao said with a smile: "It's not expensive at all, it seems that Mr. Peng picked up a leak."

After Peng Yifei said the following words, Mr. Xu really didn't know what to say, he could only sigh that he was rich and powerful.

In fact, these Tian Huangshi were all purchased from the descendants of a Southern Fujian official in the Qing Dynasty. Their ancestors served as the governor of Southern Fujian, and they were later transferred to Kyoto to serve as the Minister of Rites. It is estimated that they have been hidden at home for several generations.

But now my daughter wants to study in the UK, and the family really can't come up with the money. There is no way but to sell the treasures handed down by the ancestors, and only these three Tian Huangshi are the most valuable.

Directly asked for 100,000 pounds, but the other party did not even expect the price to be sold. This makes the seller feel that the price has opened lower, otherwise how can the buyer be so happy.

Peng Yifei had already thought about the issue of seals when he received Bao Zixuan's order to collect the ink, ink, ink, and ink. Now that he sees such good materials, he dares to delay. Let alone £100,000, £1 million will take things down.

He knew the boss's character that buying things for Li Yulin had to be the best.

The price of 100,000 pounds, Mr. Xu Baitao didn't say anything after knowing it, even if he found such a good material, he couldn't afford it. However, it is no regret to be able to carve such a fine material by hand, and I have seen it.

In the end, Bao Zixuan spent US$3,000 asking Xu Botao to carve three seals, including two for his mother and one for himself. It cost another $5,000 to buy two boxes of Babao ink pads, which can be said to be sky-high prices.

I don't know what's going on. In this era, people from mainland China want to receive foreign exchange when they see businessmen from other places. Bao Zixuan also hopes that Master Xu will take it seriously for giving so much money. It takes a long time to carve the seal, and Peng Yifei will send it to Xiangjiang after the carving.

After finishing the work in Cuiwen Pavilion, Peng Yifei walked to the next store with the richest man.

Rongbaozhai is a well-known overseas store that operates the Four Treasures of the Study, with a history of more than 300 years. Rongbaozhai is located on Liulichang West Street outside Hepingmen, Kyoto City. It is a tall antique building with antique fragrance and carved beams.

It has been more than 300 years since the establishment of the southern paper shop "Songzhuzhai", the predecessor of Kyoto Rongbaozhai in 1672. In 1894, the "Songzhuzhai" serial number "Rongbaozhai" was established, and the "Tie Duzuo" institution was added, which laid the foundation for the later development of woodblock watermarking.

I came to Rongbaozhai today for the treasure of their store. Before Peng Yifei asked for the purchase, the other party did not give face. Bao Zixuan wanted to come and see for himself. He always believed that as long as the price was right, there was nothing he couldn't buy. Maybe in his eyes, he always thinks that antique calligraphy and painting are a commodity, and he has no special feelings for it. But the richest man Bao does not understand the mentality of a real collector, he can only say that he is still too young.

The Rongbaozhai store has the old paper of Chengxintang from Empress Li. It can be said that this is the only one in Kyoto; it cannot be found in other stores. After all, paper is not easy to store.

Chengxintang paper is a famous paper produced by the working people in the Huizhou area of ​​the Southern Tang Dynasty of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms; it was rated as the best paper in the history of Chinese papermaking due to its excellent quality. It is one of the three treasures of the study in the Southern Tang Dynasty; it is famous for its skin, egg-like membrane, firm and jade-like, thin and smooth.

As early as in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Empress Li highly praised this kind of paper, and built a hall to store it. Because the origin is the mother mountain of Shexian County, Yushan Jifuchuan Mountain, there is a natural wonder "Shimen Nine Unlocked", one day the first heart will be , Yunxi passes through the heart, hence the name Chengxin. It is a natural dojo where Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are integrated.

It can be said that every piece of old paper that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years is a cultural relic, so when Peng Yifei asked to buy it, people ignored him.

Before, I bought a lot of paper, including the old paper from the Song Dynasty, which I also bought for 2 knives. Of course, as the richest man in the world, I don’t want to let it go. The things that mothers use should not be sloppy, even if they are expensive.

Seeing that it was Peng Yi flying over, the clerk quickly invited the shopkeeper out. Although he didn't buy Chengxintang, Peng Yifei bought a lot of good things in Rongbaozhai before. It is a relatively large customer in the store, and no one dares to neglect.

The shopkeeper of Rongbaozhai is surnamed Li. It has been more than 40 years since he entered Rongbaozhai as an apprentice, and he has a very high prestige in the store.

Shopkeeper Li said with a smile: "Mr. Peng said first, we warmly welcome you when you come to the store, and there is no problem with discounting anything you want to buy, but if it is Empress Li's Chengxintang, it's fine. The store is very well preserved. It’s not easy, it’s not easy to shoot.”

This is to be vaccinated in advance, but Bao Zixuan is bound to win today.

Peng Yifei said with a smile: "Manager Li, please don't say that, the paper is for people to use. It doesn't matter where it is always stored, and your store also costs money to keep it. This time not only I came here, but also my own The boss also came in person. It can be said that he is full of sincerity, and I hope shopkeeper Li can make it happen.”

Hearing that the young man in front of him is Peng Yifei's boss, it turns out that he is the rich man in Hong Kong. It turns out that he is so young, and it seems that he is really unbelievable.

Shopkeeper Li said with a smile: "The visit of the distinguished guests really makes my shop flourish, but the Empress Li's Chengxintang still won't take action. This is not a matter of more money and less money, but about the inheritance of the store, so there is no room for negotiation."

Seeing that the old man was so determined, Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Manager Li has a price for everything, and I believe Empress Li doesn't want the Chengxintang paper to be buried in the warehouse forever. Paper is for people to use. , My mother likes antique calligraphy and painting, so it can be regarded as fulfilling her old man's wish."

I heard that the purpose of buying Chengxintang paper is for my mother to paint. This is a kind of treatment that only a painter can get I have never heard of that famous female painter in Xiangjiang, and the more I think about it, the more I don’t understand.

Shopkeeper Li: "Chengxintang has been in the store for more than 300 years, and even Rongbaozhai has not sold it in difficulties. Therefore, it will never be sold. I can't let such a good paper interrupt the inheritance in my hands."

Bao Zixuan: "Paper is only valuable if it is used by others. What is it that is always kept in the warehouse. So I hope you can think about it carefully, and you won't listen to my offer!"

Shopkeeper Li: "It's not about the price, it's about the inheritance of the store. Empress Li's Chengxintang can be said to be the first paper in the world, and it is because of this paper that Rongbaozhai is called the No. 1 in Liulichang. A paper shop. If you sell it, you may make a lot of money, but how will you promote it in the future? Then we will have no advantage compared with other stores, and Rongbaozhai cannot afford this kind of loss."

Bao Zixuan didn't expect to say such a thing, it seems that he really doesn't understand the antique business. But there is no need to understand, he does not believe that the other party is not moved by money.

At this time, no one was talking, and the scene became awkward. But it's not a problem to be so tense, it's better to let Rong Baozhai let go. Action must be taken now, or else it may really miss the Chengxintang of Empress Li.
