Portable Museum

After chatting with Sister Liu for a few more words, I hung up the phone.

Sitting behind the desk, drinking tea, and thinking about it, it seems that there is nothing wrong with staying in the office.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Junping got up and went to the old shop manager's office, said hello, and left the painting shop.

Riding a bicycle to Xinhua Bookstore.

After walking around, I found that there are still many rare ancient books for sale in Xinhua Bookstore.

Some are printed after the founding of the People's Republic of China, some were printed during the Republic of China, and even printed books from the Qing Dynasty are sold.

Zhang Junping was also polite, and directly bought all the rare ancient books he saw, whether they were printed in the Qing Dynasty or printed after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Today is not a weekend, so there are not many people in Xinhua Bookstore.

In twos and threes, students are the main ones.

Take the pocket money given by the family and buy an extra-curricular book.

Zhang Junping became very eye-catching.

In fact, even when there are many people on weekends, it is still eye-catching.

Everyone buys one or two copies.

It's not like him, he directly hugs the cashier one by one.

"Comrade!" Just as Zhang Junping turned around to pick up the second stack of books, a salesman stopped Zhang Junping.

"Hello, is something wrong?"

"Comrade, which unit are you from? Are you sure you bought all these books?" Zhang Junping also dressed like a cadre, so the salesperson didn't regard him as a troublemaker, but just confirmed whether he really bought it.

"Comrade, I want all these books and these." Zhang Junping pointed to the books he picked out on the ground and said with a smile.

"Are you buying this book for your unit? Which unit are you from?" the little saleswoman asked curiously.

"I'm from BJ's painting store, and I bought these books for myself." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"I know BJ's Art Shop, it used to be our subordinate unit, but now I heard that it was ordered to leave by the local authorities.

You bought so much, can you see it? "The salesperson enthusiastically helped Zhang Junping move the books.

Years ago, handsome guys were as popular as pretty girls.

"Look slowly, many of the books here are out of print or about to be out of print.

I bought it home and watched it slowly. Zhang Junping explained with a smile.

"Then you must be very knowledgeable, right? Are you a college student who graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts?" The little girl was very talkative, and while helping Zhang Junping move books, she said this to him.

"I'm not a college student. It's because I haven't been to college that I need to study more to enrich myself."

"You really love learning." The salesperson praised with a smile.

Not to mention, the little girl looks pretty when she smiles, her innocent smile is especially contagious.

"It's okay! When I was in school, I didn't like studying, and I realized the importance of studying only after I worked." Zhang Junping responded to the salesman's words casually.

He could tell that the little girl had a crush on him, and was also very bold, daring to strike up a conversation.

Unfortunately, Zhang Junping did not dare to provoke the other party.

Such a little girl must never be provoked, once provoked.

Her enthusiasm will be like a moth to a flame, burning herself into a fire, and burning the other party into ashes.

Therefore, although Zhang Junping is habitually glib, he is right.

His rhetoric is only aimed at those married young women.

They are all married people, they have eaten and met, and most of them would not take a few innocuous jokes seriously.

Zhang Junping picked a lot of books, and he carried them more than a dozen times before finishing them.

After paying the money, Zhang Junping felt a little worried.

Originally, I planned to buy more than a dozen books to enrich my bookcase.

The bookcase in the office is empty and unsightly.

The books in the space are inconvenient to take out, so I came to Xinhua Bookstore to buy books.

As a result, I didn't stop the car all of a sudden, and bought more than 200 books, how can I take them back?

"Turn left when you go out, not far away, there are often carts waiting to pick up goods." Seeing Zhang Junping's embarrassment, the salesperson enthusiastically paid Zhang Junping's attention.

"Thank you, comrade!" After Zhang Junping thanked him, he went out and called a cart.

Help yourself to take the book to the painting store, because Xinhua Bookstore is not far from the painting store, and they are all on the same street.

Therefore, the cart master only needs [-] cents.

When they arrived at the painting shop, the elder sisters Chen Lijun and Guo Meizhen were very enthusiastic. They called the several mounting apprentices down and helped Zhang Junping move the books upstairs.

"Shop Manager Zhang, why did you buy so many books?" Chen Lijun asked with a smile.

"I'm not here to pretend to be a scholar! Our art shop is also a place where scholars gather. If I don't order books in my office, how can I have the nerve to deal with those scholars." Zhang Junping said jokingly.

"Giggle! Manager Zhang, how humorous!" Chen Lijun giggled at Zhang Junping's words.

"Sister Chen, I'm telling the truth! Compared to our old store manager, I'm just an ordinary person who smells like copper. Buy some books to let the smell of books dilute the smell of copper." Zhang Junping explained solemnly.

It made several big sisters laugh out loud.

Several elder sisters helped to organize the books one by one and put them on the bookshelves by category.

"Thank you, Sister Chen and Sister Guo, for so many books, without your help, I would have to run with my legs broken to carry them up." After finishing, Zhang Junping thanked politely.

"Shop Manager Zhang, don't be polite to us. We are all ordinary people, and we just like a vulgar leader like you. Looking back, it's fine to give out a few more benefits during the Chinese New Year." Guo Meizhen said with a hearty smile.

"Okay! This is no problem!" Zhang Junping also laughed and said, "This kind of vulgar request must be satisfied!"

While joking with Chen Lijun and Guo Meizhen, an older lady on duty downstairs led two people into the office, "Master Zhang, these two little comrades said they were your apprentices and came to report to you."

"Master!"

"Master, we are here!" Li Wenjuan and Xia Guoxiang shouted excitedly as they walked into the office.

"Sister Zhao, they are indeed my apprentices, please forgive me." Zhang Junping first thanked Zhao Yali, then looked at Li Wenjuan and Xia Guoxiang and said with a smile: "You guys came very quickly!"

"Master calls, we must come quickly!" Li Wenjuan stepped forward playfully and took Zhang Junping's arm.

"Come on, let me introduce you. These two are Sister Chen and Sister Guo. The one who sent you up is Sister Zhao."

"Aunt Chen, Aunt Guo, Aunt Zhao!" Li Wenjuan said hello to each of them with a sweet mouth.

Xia Guoxiang called someone and said hello.

"You usually study hard with your Aunt Chen downstairs. The work in the painting shop is different from your work in the material bureau." Zhang Junping explained with a smile.

"Understood, Master!" Li Wenjuan and Xia Guoxiang agreed loudly.

Chen Lijun and Guo Meizhen saw that Zhang Junping's master and apprentice had just met, and they should have a lot to say, so they left with insight and went downstairs.

"Since you are willing to come to the painting shop with me, then you have to change your original work ideas in the future.

Next year, the art shop will be transformed into an art company, specializing in the promotion of art.

Since you are engaged in the work of artworks, no matter whether you manage or promote artworks in the future, you must have a certain understanding of artworks.

Let me assign a new learning task for you, that is to practice calligraphy, after returning home every day, write a big character, and give it to me the next day.

In addition, because we want to sell our artworks abroad, we must know English. You should take time to enroll in an English training class and have a surprise training in English.It doesn't require you to be proficient in English, but at least you can talk to foreign devils. "

"Ah! Master, do you still want to learn English?" Li Wenjuan pouted and shouted.

"Hehe! That's where it goes. Not only do you need to learn English, but next year I will send you to the Academy of Fine Arts to learn some basic knowledge of art with the students of the Academy of Fine Arts.

I don't ask you to have high achievements in calligraphy and painting, but you still need to have a certain artistic quality. "Zhang Junping laughed.

"Okay, don't make a sour face, Xiao Xia, go to a carpentry factory, just tell me what I said, and ask Director Yang to send a huanghuali bookcase to match this.

Send four more grand master chairs and two coffee tables. "Zhang Junping explained.

"Understood Master!" Xia Guoxiang quickly agreed.

"By the way, you can talk to Director Yang. You said that I have a batch of rice, flour, and soybean oil in two or three days. Ask him how much he wants."

After Xia Guoxiang left, Zhang Junping smiled at Li Wenjuan again: "You should learn more from the salesperson below. Although they are just salespersons, they have worked in the painting shop for more than 20 years, and they have a good understanding of calligraphy and painting. set.

You are sweet, learn more from them. "

Chapter 236 The Daily Life of the Painting Shop 3

"I know Master, I will definitely learn from them." Li Wenjuan said obediently.

"Don't think that Master has high demands on you! And don't underestimate this painting shop.

Future painting stores have more prospects for development than material bureaus.

The Material Bureau is already a yellow flower in autumn. Although it seems to be very popular now, its brilliance is about to come to an end.

My positioning for the future of the art shop is to cultivate the art market and cultivate artists.

Think about it for yourself, through your hard work, you have cultivated artists who are famous at home and abroad. Doesn’t it give you a sense of accomplishment? "Zhang Junping had high expectations for his two apprentices, so he talked a lot to them, and patiently analyzed them.

"I know Master! I will definitely work hard!" Li Wenjuan swore, waving her fists.

"Hehe! Guang Lizhi is not good, you have to persevere." Zhang Junping smiled and patted Li Wenjuan on the head.

"Hmph!" Li Wenjuan made a face at Zhang Junping, turned around and ran out of the office, and went to the first floor to learn from the aunts.

Just as Li Wenjuan went out, Lu Guozhong came in with two storekeepers holding dozens of scrolls.

"Shop Manager Zhang, this is a painting I picked out from the warehouse.

There are twelve pictures of Mr. Daqian imitating Tang Yin's ladies, and there are also landscape paintings..."

"There are no pictures of ladies signed by Mr. Daqian?" Zhang Junping asked regretfully.

The pictures of ladies signed by Zhang Daqian are much more valuable than the pictures of ladies imitated by Tang Yin.

"There are two signed by Daqian Layman.

In addition, Xu Beihong has eighteen horses and two cows.

There are two pictures of Mr. Shiraishi's shrimp show...

Huang Binhong's...

Add up a total of 50 and [-] yuan. "Lu Guozhong briefly introduced the scrolls he brought over, and finally said the total price.

"Well, is there any more in the warehouse?"

"Zhang Daqian, Xu Beihong, Huang Binhong... are still there, and Qi Baishi's is gone." Lu Guozhong didn't understand why Zhang Junping asked this, but said truthfully.

Zhang Junping was very surprised that there were two paintings by Qi Baishi.

After all, the old store manager is Qi Baishi's proud disciple.

Anyway, if it was him, he would definitely collect all of Master's paintings.

"Bring over all those paintings, as much as you want!

In addition, these two pictures of the shrimp show were given to the old store manager, and they were said to be my New Year's gift to him. "Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"The old store manager will be very happy. Over the years, a large part of the old store manager's salary has been used to collect Mr. Baishi's calligraphy and paintings." Lu Guozhong said with a smile.

When it came to the painting just now, Lu Guozhong hesitated for a long time, whether to take Qi Baishi's painting or not.

But he knew that Zhang Junping was here to take over the old store manager. After the old store manager left, he would not retire until ten years later.

In the end, I decided to take two, and I will tell you if I don’t take one.

Now Zhang Junping bought these two paintings and gave them to the old store manager, so he doesn't have to be in a dilemma.

"Well, here I have a check for fifty thousand Swiss francs, and you took it to China to exchange it.

All the money was used to buy those out-of-print ink paintings.

Do you understand the meaning of out of print? Zhang Junping took out the checkbook, wrote a check for [-] Swiss francs and handed it to Lu Guozhong.

"I know, out-of-print means that the author has passed away, and there will be no new works." Lu Guozhong was secretly shocked by Zhang Junping's financial resources.

Fifty thousand foreign exchange, actually said to take it out, without blinking an eye.
