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

Next, Song Qingyun explained the auction collection situation to everyone present, and proposed the auction items to everyone. After everyone's discussion, in order to ensure that everyone can gain something from this auction, the antique owners participating in the auction must take Selling a decent item will ensure a profit in the auction. As for the other items, I will take all the items that I feel sad to sell and don't know when they will be sold to participate in the auction.

Song Qingyun was studying the auction with Jiangcheng antique dealers. Qian Jun and Xu Maoshan found a small restaurant and sat down to chat about the auction.

"Old Xu, Song Qingyun has played such a trick on us, what should we do?" Boss Qian was obviously unconvinced. He took a long drag on his cigarette and said angrily.

Xu Maoshan also lit a cigarette and frowned. You must participate in the auction. Although auctions were banned in China after the founding of the People's Republic of China, with the economic reform and opening up in the past two years, many private auctions have appeared, especially in 92. , Beijing also organized a very successful auction. Coupled with the success of Yunxuan Auction House in Shanghai this year, future auctions are indispensable.

These antique dealers, after so many years of accumulation, must have a lot of objects in their hands. Some of the objects are sold cheaply and they feel inappropriate; but if they are not sold, you have to recycle the money on hand, and auctions are the best choice. At least this is the state I am in now.

Thinking of this, Xu Maoshan took a puff of cigarette and said, "What else can we do? If he doesn't take our belongings with him, we have to think of other ways." After finishing speaking, Xu Maoshan pointed at the table with his finger, "In my hand But there are many items that cannot be moved up or down, and it would be a pity not to send them to the auction house to make a fortune."

"Boss Qian is probably in a similar situation to me. If we miss this opportunity, we don't know how long we will have to wait!"

Boss Qian nodded. Most antique stores are in the same situation now. Then he frowned slightly, "But..."

"But if we give it away separately, maybe it will fall apart!" This is what Boss Qian is worried about. With the Antique Association's guarantee, he feels more at ease after all; if you deliver it yourself, you will probably have to pay off half of the ten items. Not worth it.

Speaking of this question, Xu Maoshan also frowned. After pondering for a moment, Xu Maoshan raised his head and glanced at Boss Qian, "How about we submit it to other city associations?"

After listening to this, Boss Qian picked up a small dish on the table with chopsticks and kept chewing in his mouth, "You want to join the gang in Shen Cheng? But can they agree?"

Xu Maoshan has dealings with antique dealers in Shencheng. Everyone knows this, and people say that his brother is in Shencheng. However, his brother does not open a shop, but is in the antique black market.

"Let's find someone to ask. Otherwise, how can we fix it? It counts as many pieces as you can choose!" Xu Maoshan threw the cigarette butt to the ground, stamped it out and said.

Boss Qian nodded, took the wine bottle from the side, filled Xu Mao with a glass of wine, and expressed his agreement to send the items to Shen Cheng, "Okay, after this matter is over, we will study Song Qingyun and Chen Yang."

"And the one named Jia who forced me to beat him up, he was so angry, damn it!"

Xu Maoshang showed a wicked smile. After thanking Boss Qian for pouring him a drink, he whispered, "It's very simple to cure Song Qingyun." As he spoke, Xu Maoshang dipped his finger into the wine and wrote on the table. Three words.

"High!" Boss Qian was slightly happy after reading this, "Let's start with his most proud object. I'll listen to you when the time comes!"

After telling everyone about the auction, Song Qingyun asked everyone to go home and prepare. There is plenty of time. The auction will not be held until next spring. It is enough to deliver the lots to the auction house before the end of October. October is now far away. There are still nearly four months left, and not only this batch, Song Qingyun can also choose to send another one after the New Year.

Chen Yang had nothing to prepare. He had already prepared the items he had thought of before. The only thing missing was a Yongle year blue and white gourd flat bottle. It was really difficult to pick it up and bring it back. As for the rest, Chen Yang has quite a few in his store, so there is absolutely no problem in taking a few to auction.

Seeing everyone getting up and leaving, Song Qingyun called out to Boss Jia and Boss Chu, "Boss Chu, since you sent a greeting note after the new year, we haven't had a good chat until now. If we are not busy today, we will have a chat." How about a few words?"

Boss Chu said there was no problem, so he turned around and sat down, "President Song, I actually want to tell you that I will not participate in this auction. After all, I don't have many items in my hand, and it would be embarrassing to take them out."

Hearing what Boss Chu said, several people were stunned and couldn't help but look at Boss Chu curiously.

Song Qingyun held the tea cup and raised his eyebrows slightly. After being stunned, a smile appeared on his face, "Boss Chu, you are too polite. Participating in the auction this time is entirely voluntary. Since Boss Chu has no intention, I will not force you."

"I heard that Boss Chu's shop is located on the outskirts of the city," Song Qingyun put down the tea cup in his hand, looked at Boss Chu with a smile and asked, "I haven't been able to visit, please forgive me, Boss Chu."

After listening to Song Qingyun's words, Chen Yang couldn't help but look sideways at Song Qingyun. This old fox is an old fox. He clearly wanted to ask Boss Chu why he opened his shop in the suburbs, and what kind of business he mainly did, but Instead of asking directly, he made a move to retreat in order to advance. It was really cunning.

Antique shops are generally opened in crowded places with a large flow of people. Even if people don't sell items, they will still have an impression of your shop. If they find old things one day, they will remember it. In areas like the suburbs, It is true that there are very few antique shops.

"President Song is so polite." After hearing what Song Qingyun said, Boss Chu had a smile on his face, and he obviously understood the meaning of Song Qingyun's words.

"President Song, like Boss Qian just now, I am mainly engaged in the carpentry business. The rent of shops in this suburb is relatively cheap. At the same price, I can still rent a good warehouse." Boss Chu said slowly Said, "But no one has money and the boss has money, so he can only rent a shop on the outskirts of the city."

"In addition, I am a carpenter by family background. On weekdays, I can help my neighbors repair their furniture and supplement some expenses."

What about those who make woodware? Family background as a carpenter? But I started an antique business, which is really interesting.

Song Qingyun and the other two couldn't help but look up at Boss Chu after hearing what Boss Chu said. Chen Yang blinked a few times and said, "The accent sounds like Boss Chu doesn't sound like a northerner. You are..."

"I'm from Chaoshan," Boss Chu nodded sheepishly, "My accent... Let's put it this way, my father is from Chaoshan, my mother is from Hakka, and I grew up in Luoyang when I was a child, so my accent is a bit... It’s no longer the same.”

"A Chaoshan person?" Song Qingyun couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, and waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, Boss Chu, your Mandarin is already very good. I have also met your customers, and the Mandarin they speak is, I don’t understand it at all.”

After saying that, several people laughed. Chen Yang looked at Boss Chu with a smile, "Boss Chu, you just said it was a family craft. Let me take a bold guess. Could it be that your craft is gold and wood carving?"

Golden lacquer wood carving, also known as Chaozhou golden lacquer wood carving, or Chaozhou wood carving for short, is a folk carving art that originated in the Chaoshan area. Chaozhou wood carving and Dongyang wood carving are both known as the two major wood carving systems in China. Golden lacquer wood carving has a history of thousands of years. .

According to the "Chaoyang County Chronicle": "Chaoyang gold lacquer wood carvings began in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty." By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, officials, merchants and wealthy families in the city advocated carved beams and painted buildings, which were exquisite and magnificent. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Wuxian, a native of Chaoyang Pass, followed Zuo Zongtang in quelling the rebellion in Xinjiang and was awarded the title of Admiral of Yunnan by the imperial court. Huang Wuxian once dedicated the Chaoyang gold-lacquered wood carving "Three Pictures of Fortune, Luxury and Longevity" to the Empress Dowager Cixi. Cixi couldn't put it down and called it "Guangnan's Outstanding People and Artists". It was later collected as a national treasure in the Forbidden City.

Gold lacquer wood carvings are mainly carved from camphor wood and painted with gold. They are characterized by their splendor and beautiful craftsmanship. They are expressed in relief, flower openwork and three-dimensional openwork carving. The openwork meridians are unobstructed, rich in layers, and the carving is delicate and three-dimensional. Feeling strong. Mainly used for architectural decoration and furniture decoration, the contents include figures, animals, landscapes and Buddha statues. Especially in the Chaoshan area, Buddhist niches and furniture are almost all gold and wood carvings.

"Boss Chen actually knows about gold and wood carvings?" Boss Chu was slightly surprised when Chen Yang asked him this. He really didn't expect that in this northernmost place, someone actually knew about gold and wood carvings!

Boss Chu nodded silently and said that his father was once a well-known local woodcarving master, but he had to leave his hometown because of some special things.

When it comes to gold and wood carvings, only two words appear in Chen Yang's mind, and that is shocking! I remember the first time I went to a museum and saw gold and wood carvings. As soon as I entered the door, I was shocked by the golden lacquered lobster and crab basket in front of me.

The entire work is carved from camphor wood, integrating various carving techniques such as relief, round carving, and openwork carving. The work is golden and transparent, especially rich and gorgeous. When you know that this work is hand-carved by Master Gu Liuxi, a master of contemporary arts and crafts When he came out, Chen Yang was extremely shocked. He didn't know what kind of carving skills could carve wood into something like this.

Thinking of this, Chen Yang gave Boss Chu a thumbs up in admiration, "Boss Chu, you are truly an expert at playing with wood, and you are much better than Boss Qian!"
