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

Chen Yang stared blankly at Guo Fangbai and Zheng Hai in front of him. Renting antiques? This is truly unprecedented and unprecedented! Before I was reborn, I had never heard of anyone renting antiques. This is the first time I heard such a suggestion after my rebirth. These two people are really talented!

But then again, how poor is the National Gallery of Art? Doesn’t it have even one work that can be sold? Have you thought about renting?

Seeing them looking at him eagerly, Chen Yang became interested. This was the first time he had heard of this proposal, so he might as well listen to them.

"You two, your proposal has really aroused my interest. Let's talk about it and I'll listen!" Chen Yang put the teacup aside and looked at the two of them.

Seeing Chen Yang's interest, Guo Fangbai explained to Chen Yang with a smile, "Boss Chen, think about it, if you rent this piece of Li Tang's silk to us, we can not only keep it for you for free, but also pay monthly Give you money."

"In this way, you avoid the trouble of keeping it, and we can also get income from this silk. Although Li Tang's silk is indeed precious, if you collect it, it will not make money. You can only make money by selling it. Exchange money.”

"But who would be willing to sell such a good thing? If you can rent it to us, we will pay you rent every month, and we can also get the profit from the silk. This is the best of both worlds!"

After Guo Fangbai finished speaking, Zheng Hai nodded beside him, "Boss Chen, we will issue you a formal rental contract to prove that the silk still belongs to you. In addition, we will set a period during which you cannot take back the silk. , once you breach the contract, you have to pay us compensation; of course, in this cycle, if we breach the contract, we will also pay you liquidated damages."

This... Chen Yang's eyes were dull after hearing what Guo Fangbai said. The brain circuit of these two people is interesting. Keeping the objects at home does not make any money. If you rent them to them for display, they can still pay rent. You also set an agreed period, and whether the period can be breached, you two treat the silk book as a house!

Chen Yang was now a little doubtful whether the two people in front of him were from the National Art Museum, and how could they not even understand some basic common sense.

The purpose of collecting antiques is to promote national culture, protect historical heritage, and protect the historical civilization of our country. Of course, the more important thing is money!

When I take back an antique, it first of all means that the collector has the vision and ability to rent it to you? Not to mention renting it to you, we didn't even lend it to anyone else.

You like this object and want to borrow it to play with for two days. What if it gets knocked, touched, or destroyed during this period?

Song Qingyun is the best example. He likes Xuande stoves so much that he always comes to his store to look at Xuande stoves. Based on his relationship with Song Qingyun, he can bring the Xuande stove to his store to see it. Why does he have to come to his store to see it every time?

Because this is the most basic rule!

The collection of antiques is anonymous, and whoever owns the antiques belongs to whom. I lend you something of my own, but I say it belongs to you. What if you don’t return it to me? Especially with identities like Guo Fangbai and Zheng Hai, they represent the country. If you don't recognize it when the time comes, can I still get it back?

I really don’t know if these two people are really stupid, or if they think they are stupid!

Chen Yang turned to look at the two of them and couldn't help but smile. Come on, don't care whether they are really stupid or pretending to be stupid. Since you sent them to the door yourself, don't blame yourself.

"You two, I really don't understand," Chen Yang slowly took a sip of tea, "You are from the National Art Museum, are you really short of good things?"

When Chen Yang asked, both of them showed embarrassing expressions. Finally, Guo Fangbai sighed heavily, "To be honest with Boss Chen, although our art museum was built late, it was built in 58 and opened in 63." Museum. When we opened the museum, we borrowed many famous calligraphy and paintings from people in the Forbidden City."

"After all these years, although there are many famous calligraphers and paintings in the museum,..." Guo Fangbai said this and did not continue.

"We don't have a single object for the museum," Zheng Hai said next to him. "I told Boss Chen what we have. There is a "Portrait of Qi Baishi" by Wu Zuoren, a set of "Album of Workers and Insects" by Qi Baishi, and a painting of Any "Portrait of Zhao Dechang and his wife" by Bonian, and "Father" by Luo Zhongli."

"There are very few silk books and ancient paintings like Li Tang's in our museum. Although we have been collecting from the private sector for so many years, the results are not very good."

After hearing what Zheng Hai said, Chen Yang nodded slightly. Zheng Hai didn't lie. He had been to the art museum himself. At first, he thought he would see some rare ancient calligraphy and paintings. But when he went there, he discovered that it was not the case.

"This is not easy to handle. There are many paintings by Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong, and Huang Binhong on the market. Why don't you just go and collect two of them?" Chen Yang suggested to the two of them, "Especially Huang Binhong's paintings, the prices are not high right now." Gao, many people still don’t recognize it.”

After listening to Chen Yang's words, the two of them smiled and waved their hands. Guo Fangbai smiled and asked Chen Yang, "Boss Chen, we also know that you said these are very well-known masters, but do you think Qi Baishi's paintings should be compared to those of Qi Baishi's paintings? If it is placed in the Forbidden City, can it still be called a painting?"

At this point, the three of them laughed in unison. Chen Yang looked at the two of them, and they were right.

Although Qi Baishi's paintings are of good value on the outside and look quite stylish when hung in your home or company, but if they are placed inside the Forbidden City...

The Forbidden City has a total of three paintings by Qi Baishi, namely "Qi Baishi's Picture of Tiger", "Qi Baishi's Picture of Peach and Rabbit", and "Qi Baishi's Picture of Chicks Coming Out of the Cage".

Some people say that the Forbidden City only collects three paintings by Qi Baishi because the price of Qi Baishi's paintings later increased and no one donated them to the Forbidden City. But Chen Yang didn't think so. After seeing these three paintings collected by the Forbidden City, his first impression was that if they were exhibited together with other calligraphy and paintings of ancient celebrities... After looking at the pictures, think for yourself.

"That's what you two said," Chen Yang smiled and handed them cigarettes respectively, "So, you want to rent my Li Tang silk book as your treasure?"

Zheng Hai quickly waved his hand after hearing this, "Boss Chen, you are not the treasure of our museum, but you are raising your hand to help our art museum maintain face. I will definitely remember Boss Chen's benefits in the future!"

Chen Yang nodded after hearing this, leaned back on the chair, picked up the tea cup, and scratched the tea bowl with the lid of the tea cup, "In this case, I will do you a favor. How much do you plan to pay per month?"

"We can come up with this amount, five hundred yuan!" Guo Fangbai stretched out a palm and said openly.

"How much?" Chen Yang looked at the two of them in surprise after hearing this, "Five hundred yuan? Are you kidding me?"

After speaking, Chen Yang shouted to Lao Shan, "Lao San, how much do you get from me a month?"

Lao Shan was sitting next to the gate. When he heard Chen Yang calling him, he stood up quickly, bent down and said, "Boss Chen, please give me 500 yuan a month."
