Self-cultivation of entertainment bigwigs

Chapter 300 Returning to the Southern Capital

Carved lacquer is a traditional Chinese craft with a history of more than 400 years. It is a technique of applying natural lacquer to a certain thickness on the tires, and then carving patterns on the piled flat paint tires with a knife.

Beijing carved lacquer is as famous as cloisonne, ivory carving, and jade carving, and is known as one of the "Four Famous Artists" of Beijing crafts.

The material of carved lacquer in Beijing is made of raw lacquer collected from lacquer trees. It is processed into cooked lacquer by a certain process. It is made by tire making, painting, and then carving. It's wood with red paint on the outside.

The carved lacquer bracelet in Zhao Qian's hand looks quite delicate. It is not a molded plastic fake like the one sold on a certain treasure, but a real hand-carved bracelet.

Zhang Siya took it, held it in her hand and observed it carefully, stroked her fingers lightly, nodded and said, "It's very beautiful."

The engraving on it is the auspiciousness of the dragon and the phoenix. Whether it is texture or color, it gives people a simple and solemn feeling, but it does not lose the feeling of luster and exquisiteness. This kind of simple traditional handicraft makes her very happy.

Zhao Qian looked at the stall owner: "Boss, how much is this?"

The stall owner in his 50s has a simple and honest face, but there is a sly look in his small eyes.Hearing Zhao Qian's question, he quickly replied with a smile: "This is five thousand. To tell you the truth, I paid a high price to get it back from an acquaintance. At least it is from the Qing Dynasty. It has a very high collection value. value……"

Zhao Qian sneered, the owner of the stall in Panjiayuan is really talking about running the train, and he specializes in fooling visitors from other places, it seems that it is the same no matter where he is.

Immediately hehe: "Boss, are you kidding me? This is clearly a modern handicraft. The age of the material and the degree of wear and tear, I can tell at a glance, okay?"

The stall owner couldn't help laughing when his bragging was punctured, but after all his years of experience, he didn't refute it, and continued: "Just looking at this carver, it is at least at the level of a master, and this girl is naturally beautiful, so she will definitely not lose money if she buys it back. Think about it."

Zhang Siya's face was reddish, and she tried to put the bracelet on her hand. The dark red bracelet and the white wrist complemented each other. Although it didn't match the style of her dress, it still had a special taste.

Zhao Qian gritted his teeth with a look of heartache, and counter-offered: "Two hundred, will you sell it or not?"

Zhang Siya covered her mouth to prevent herself from laughing out loud. The bargain was too harsh. She gave him a soft look and said, "If you don't buy it, don't buy it. Why are you teasing the boss?"

The stall owner was almost choked to death, secretly despised in his heart, your sister, bring this beautiful girlfriend to go shopping, you can afford two hundred?
With a bitter face on his face: "Little brother, you are too cruel, aren't you? Two hundred is too much, two thousand is about the same."

However, Zhao Qian was not fooled, and said with a snort, "Don't bully me as a foreigner, and think I don't understand. If it wasn't for the engraving work, I would think ten yuan is too expensive. Ask again, can't you sell it for two hundred?" Sell ​​it, or not, let me go?"

The stall owner had no choice but to make amends when he encountered such a stunned young man: "Add more, handsome man, uncle, it's not easy for me to earn two cents in the dark, two hundred is really more than the purchase price ah."

"Then I'll add fifty, two hundred and five."

"The number two hundred and five is unlucky..."

"Oh, that's two hundred and four."

"No, no, no, two hundred and five is two hundred and five. I really admire you."

In this way, Zhao Qian finally won the carved lacquer bracelet with a price of 250 yuan for [-] yuan.After paying the money and holding the bracelets, they left under the boss's resentful gaze.

After walking far, Zhang Siya couldn't help but thumped Zhao Qian's arm with a smile: "You are too bad, I saw the boss's face, I almost died of laughter, haha."

Zhao Qian smiled and said, "Don't look at him looking sore, he might be happy in his heart. I can assure you that this thing doesn't cost a hundred dollars, so he still makes a profit."

This industry is in trouble. Zhao Qian has only heard about it. He has not been exposed to the real antique circle and has no interest in it for the time being.

"Ah?" Zhang Siya was slightly surprised, she thought she had made a lot of money, and bought something with a price tag of 250 yuan for [-] yuan.

Well, so it is really easy to make money for women. For example, no one wants shoes with a price tag of 100, but if you change the original price of 200 and the current price of 100, everyone rushes to buy them.

Just like Double Eleven.

Zhao Qian didn't think too much about it. Seeing that Zhang Siya looked good in it, he bought it. Seeing that she was playing with it, he said, "But the carving is really good. If you don't mind it, I'll give it to you."

"Wow!" Zhang Siya was not polite, and put it away with a smile.

It was the first time I received a gift from Zhao Qian. Although it was not expensive, it was worth commemorating.

The two went shopping for a while, and bought a lot of inexpensive but novel gadgets, which would be nice to take back as gifts.

I stayed in the capital for a total of four days, and I should go back after counting the days.

This woman Li Wanqing was about to fall into trouble at home, if Zhao Qian hadn't agreed to bring her a gift, he probably wished he could fly over and strangle this handsome man and woman who were carrying her behind their backs outside.

Before returning to Nandu, Zhao Qian also received a call from lawyer Wu.

I entrusted him to help negotiate with those two companies on the simplified publishing rights of "Emperor" and the full rights of manga and animation, but I don't know what's going on now.

"Hi Mr. Zhao, I have settled the copyright issue of your novel with Shonan People's Publishing House and Penguin Animation." Lawyer Wu on the other end of the phone couldn't hide his excitement.

Zhao Qian's eyes lit up. This is really good news. He immediately smiled and said, "That's very good, thank you, lawyer Wu. But I'm still in the capital. I'll talk about the details when I return to Nandu Company."

Lawyer Wu laughed and said, "Okay, Mr. Zhao, you are welcome. It is my honor to serve customers!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Qian shook his head and laughed, tsk tsk, money is really a good thing.

……

"We're back!"

At 09:30 in the evening, Zhao Qian returned to the Xuefu community.

Opening the door and entering the house with a big suitcase, Zhang Siya followed behind. Seeing Li Wanqing curled up on the sofa playing with her mobile phone, she immediately yelled.

Li Wanqing raised her head and said bitterly: "You are finally willing to come back, I thought you would come back after giving birth!"

Usually I don't think so, but during these four days, Zhao Qian and Zhang Siya were on a business trip, and she was alone at home, and she was almost bored. Fortunately, I was able to take time to make a video with Zhang Siya every night, otherwise she would really go crazy.

Zhao Qian rolled his eyes and replied angrily: "What are you talking about, do you want any more presents?"

Zhang Siya's face was slightly red, because Zhao Qian didn't say anything in the presence, if she and Li Wanqing were alone at home, it would make sure that the guy with his open mouth would look good.

Li Wanqing snorted and threatened: "Yes, of course! If you don't satisfy me, you know the consequences!"
