Rebirth 93: Break off the engagement at the beginning and marry Bai Fumei

Chen Yang pushed the door open and walked into Song Qingyun's store. The woman behind the counter motioned to Boss Song to stay behind, and Chen Yang walked straight in.

In the room, there was a solid wood round table, with Song Qingyun sitting in the middle with a gloomy face, and the bosses of various shops sat on both sides.Seeing Chen Yang walk in, Song Qingyun showed a smile on his face, patted the seat next to him, and motioned for Chen Yang to sit over.

Chen Yang understood what it meant. When Dong Pingchuan was the president, Song Qingyun was on the left and Boss Qian was on the right, which meant that these two people were the ones Dong Pingchuan valued more. Now that Song Qingyun is the president, he is on the left, and he is on the right. Boss Qian, the meaning is self-evident.

"What's going on?" After Chen Yang sat down and saw that Song Qingyun's face was not good-looking, he asked directly.

Song Qingyun pushed the invitation to Chen Yang. At this time, Boss Qian said from the side, "Boss Chen, Mr. Dong passed away not long ago. The Shen and Jin antique chambers of commerce jointly invited us to participate in this year's treasure fighting conference."

Chen Yang read the above content and then looked at the faces of the bosses. Why is this so difficult? It would be great if he participated. Besides, this is a good thing.

Treasure fighting is a common way of communication in antique shops. It can be divided by region, such as the competition between antique shops in the south and the north; there are also competitions between several nearby cities, just like today In this way; the scope will be narrowed down a bit, and the competition will be the same as in the city, such as Xuanwu Circle and Chongwen Circle in the capital.

There are also some divided by type. Those who like calligraphy and painting compete with each other with the calligraphy and painting in their hands, which is also called a circle; those who play with jade ware, bronze ware, etc.

This kind of treasure fighting is different from auctions and appreciation meetings. Not everyone can participate. They must be from the same industry, and sometimes even in a more private circle, and they need to be recommended.

The main reason is that I am afraid that strangers or outsiders will come in and cause trouble, such as directly touching other people's objects. If this happens, it will be unpredictable and it will cause unnecessary trouble.There have even been incidents where a layman has taken a fancy to an item, but instead of selling it, he went out to target you and snatched it away.

The reason why treasure fighting is so popular in the circle is that while fighting, you can also complete transactions, and you can even exchange items with each other or spend money to buy them.

In the early 90s, auction houses were just getting started, and there were only one or two in the country.It’s not a big problem for enthusiasts and collectors, but antique dealers like Song Qingyun, who have been in business for many years, have many items that cannot be sold, and they can’t always keep them in their hands. Therefore, participating in treasure fights is also a way to sell items. method of realization.

"Everyone, isn't this a good thing? Why are you looking so sad?" Chen Yang asked with a smile as he put the invitation in front of Song Qingyun.

The bosses all shook their heads, and Song Qingyun said next to him, "Since Wu Zixu's Lintong treasure fight, it has a history of more than 2500 years. No matter what the scale of the treasure fight, there must be a winner, such as the battle between the North and the South, for fame; Treasure fighting in the capital circle is mostly profitable."

"We have a battle with Shen and Jin cities almost every year. According to the rules of previous years, the winner can take away objects from any treasure fighter as a prize!"

I am!

Chen Yang was stunned after hearing this. He had never participated in the treasure fight in the 90s. This was different from later generations!In later generations, most of them were used as names to show off objects. This was the first time I had heard of this kind of lottery.

"Take away the object from any treasure fighter?" Chen Yang looked at Song Qingyun in surprise, "Just take it away for nothing?"

Song Qingyun nodded slightly, and Chen Yang also started to frown. This shit is a bit difficult to handle!

"Boss Song, why don't we just go and get the items? Even if we lose, others won't look down on us. What's there to be afraid of?" Chen Yang thought for a few seconds and looked at Song Qingyun and asked.

"Oh," Boss Qian sighed next to him, "Boss Chen, we rely on antiques to make a living. If the goods are gone, how can we survive!"

After hearing this, Chen Yang was stunned for a moment. Apparently he didn't understand what Qian Lao meant. He said without even thinking, "That's why I said I won't take the good stuff!"

Song Qingyun waved his hand and explained to Chen Yang, "Boss Qian means that if the goods are less, the popularity will be lower; if the popularity is low, the goods will be even less. If this cycle continues, our Jiangcheng Antiques Business will decline. Is it over?"

"When I first came to Jiangcheng, there were not many antique shops in Jiangcheng," Song Qingyun continued. "At that time, there were only two or three antique shops. Later, Mr. Dong missed Yilu Gantian. After many confirmations, it was determined that it was at that time Cixi’s collection, leaked from the Qing Palace.”

"Lao Dong handed Yilu Gantian to Shoubo. Jiangcheng became famous in the antique circle for a while. After that, I picked up two more treasures, which also spread in the circle. Half a year later, many people picked up the missed items and received the goods. There are more of them in Jiangcheng."

"Over the years, there have been more and more antique dealers in Jiangcheng. Through your efforts, Jiangcheng Antiques Shop has become what it is today."

After hearing what Song Qingyun said, Chen Yang instantly understood what he meant.The more people who play antiques in a region, the better the antique business in that region will be. This is why antique shops have always been popular in places such as Beijing and Chang'an.

First of all, these areas have inherent advantages. They are ancient capitals, so there are naturally many good things. Therefore, there are more people who play with antiques. When there are more people, more good things will be found.

For example, Shenyang in later generations was originally called Fengtian and Shengjing. Let’s not talk about whether there are old people and young people from the Qing Dynasty. The commander-in-chief always has good things in his hands, right?Can they all be beaten away by the little devils?

There is only one reason, there are too few people who can discover good things.Even if you have treasures at home, you don't know them. In addition, there are few people who can recognize goods. If you keep good items, they will get damaged accidentally, or they may be thrown away after moving. As time goes by, the antique circle will decline even more.

Chen Yang took a deep breath and feared his head. He had been in the antique circle for half his life in his last life. He only thought that the remote location was not conducive to the development of antiques. He had never thought about this factor at all. Today, Song Qingyun said, A sudden enlightenment!

"I understand, if we have to win, it will be really difficult!" Chen Yang frowned and said to himself, "Otherwise, if I bring that set of Song books, will the chance of winning be greater?"

"It's not a matter of winning or not, it also depends on whether new items appear." A fat man next to him said, "We haven't participated in the treasure fight for two years. The previous year, Mr. Dong was communicating, so we missed it; last year Because Boss Song is not at home, Mr. Dong found another excuse to postpone it. If he goes this year, no matter he wins or loses, he must bring out something eye-catching."

"That's right," someone slammed the table, "every year the treasure fight is held at the end of April or the beginning of May, but this year they chose the beginning of March. We don't have time to pick up the leaks or mix up the goods!"

"No matter what, we have to go this year. The number of visits dropped significantly last year. If Boss Chen hadn't caused two major incidents in Fengcheng Ghost Market, there would probably be even fewer."

"The most important thing is that Young Master Kang in Shen Cheng has a mother-in-law in his family. For so many years, Shen Cheng has relied on Young Master Kang and has hardly lost. What should we fight against?"

"It's impossible not to go. If I go, I won't take out the objects I have. Even if I can get good objects, I'm still afraid of losing!"

"President Song, you have to help everyone come up with an idea quickly!"

"Boss Song, this year it's up to you and Boss Chen. We really have more than enough ambition but not enough power!"

"President Song, whether our Jiangcheng Antique Market will do well this year depends on you!"

For a time, everyone pushed the pressure on Song Qingyun again!
