The Qiya flower and bird shop in Daqi is booming, and the modern Qiya antique shop is also crowded with customers.
In the antique street, there is no shop like Qi Ya, which has a constant flow of customers. It is common for people selling antiques to stay closed for several months, but this shop is doing business every day, attracting colleagues from all over the world to come and watch the excitement.
Not only does the shop sell antique calligraphy and paintings, it also sells precious flowers and trees. Just put a few pots of flowers in the store for decoration, and take pictures of the rest and hang them in the store to make a booklet for customers to look through.
No goods, only photos. Place a deposit first and then take delivery.
This business is done. Not only is it complicated, but it’s also a complete waste of time.
Neighboring shops all said that this shop did not specialize in one thing, just like a fruit shop that squeezed out space in the shop to sell tobacco, alcohol, groceries and drinks.
I don't know what he specializes in. If you do this kind of business, I'm afraid it won't be open for a long time.
As a result, one pot of orchids sold for eight million!
Eight million! They haven't done so many transactions in the few years since they opened the store. Bosses from the whole street came to watch the fun and want to learn from the experience. How about learning from them and selling flowers and plants on the side?
It also saves ten days and a half of no business.
In fact, Qi Yahua's good sales are only apparent. What really sells the most is calligraphy and painting.
In particular, the paintings of Jiang Jiasan and his son sold best. Later, Lu Shanchang discussed with Zhao Guangyuan and raised the price. Now Jiang Xiang's paintings can be sold for millions. There are some fine works that Lu Shanchang still hides.
There are only a few calligraphy and paintings worth millions on antique streets, and the ones with high prices are all in auction houses.
But the paintings Qi Ya sells are better than those sold in auction houses, and the prices are very affordable. Even if the asking price is millions, compared with paintings that can be sold at auctions worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions, they are no different than cabbage prices.
Just the Qi Dynasty thousands of years ago? A dynasty that has never been heard of, a dynasty that has never appeared in history?
Is the store crazy, or are they crazy?
A guest came to the Zhang family today.
Zhang Lianqiu's father, Zhang Weiguo, personally greeted him outside, "Oh, Zhan Peng, why did you remember to come see me? Come in, come in."
Lu Zhanpeng walked in with a smile on his face, holding a painting box.
"I recently got a painting and I like it very much. But there are some things I don't understand about it and I want to discuss it with you."
The two are not only business partners, but also like-minded, both like antique calligraphy and painting. I still love ancient paintings, and after getting the paintings, several collectors like to get together to enjoy them.
"Just in time, I also got two paintings, and I was thinking of asking you to come and appreciate them."
Zhang Weiguo enthusiastically invited Lu Dianpeng to visit his studio.
As a result, Lu Zhanpeng was stunned by a picture of "Travel in the Evening Mountain" and a picture of "Sunset in the Tianshou Mountain". He repeatedly praised: "What a painting! What a painting!"
Seeing the hunter's heart is so happy, I can't wait to take it home and enjoy it behind closed doors.
"When did you auction it? It must have cost a lot of money." What a beautiful painting. But his painting only cost 380,000 yuan. And it’s no worse than these two pictures.
Zhang Weiguo smiled and said, "It wasn't from an auction house, it was a gift from a friend." He looked at the two paintings in front of him with fondness, thinking that it was a bit of an advantage to only give one apartment as a gift.
In addition, the jade bracelet that Xia Xia and the others gave to his wife was also of the highest quality. He took it for appraisal. Others wanted to buy it for five million, but he did not sell it.
He is not short of money. Besides, this is a gift from someone else, and my wife likes it very much, so she won’t sell it.
"What paintings did you bring? Come, let me take a look."
Lu Zhanpeng slowly unfolded the painting he had brought. Zhang Weiguo was a person who loved painting and fell in love with it immediately. "What a painting! The artistic conception is even more far-reaching!"
When I got closer and looked at it, I couldn't put it down.
"I invited a few friends to see it, but they said I was fooled." Lu Zhanpeng stood aside and talked about his doubts.
"Oh? Is it expensive?"
"That's not true. It's quite cheap. I got it for only 380,000 yuan..."
"Only 380,000? I'll give you 500,000, give it to me!" Zhang Weiguo was moved. This painting only sold for 380,000 yuan. Where did you find it?
"It's not the price. The person selling the painting said it was an ancient painting from a thousand years ago. I asked people to look at it. The paper, ink, and pigments were all from a thousand years ago, but they didn't look like things from a thousand years ago. It was very contradictory. Several people said Said I bought a fake..."
"Fake?" Zhang Weiguo hurriedly took out various painting tools, and the two of them studied the paintings.
"There are indeed some contradictions. This is cotton and linen paper, so rough...it may be difficult to imitate modern fakes."
"Yes. And the technology has been upgraded. No matter how much you try to imitate it, you can't imitate the kind of artificial and raw materials. But there are too many contradictions in it. And this painting has no signs of weathering at all. No matter how you preserve it, I'm afraid it won't be able to achieve this level. The store also said it was a work from the Qi Dynasty thousands of years ago. I have never heard of the Qi Dynasty."
"Qi Dynasty? Qi from the Southern and Northern Dynasties?"
Lu Zhanpeng shook his head, "No. Look at the signature here, look at this seal, Jiang Xiang, the store said he was the crown prince and young master of the Qi Dynasty. I looked through the historical materials, and there is no crown prince and young master named Jiang Xiang."
Zhang Weiguo became serious, took the magnifying glass and moved it to the inscribed seal...
On the other side, Zhao Guangyuan was very happy as he frequently traveled between modern times and Daqi in the past few days because of the good sales in his shops.
When I could see him every day, I was very happy. I didn't even want to go to school, I just wanted to stick to him. After being scolded by Zhao Guangyuan, I went to the kindergarten obediently.
Lin Zhaoxia acted as his driver every day, driving him around every day, either to the pearl market, to the flower and bird market, or to inspect the market, but he was never free.
Seeing Lin Zhaoxia yawning while driving, Zhao Guangyuan felt a little distressed.
"When I'm done with this, I'll learn to drive."
Lin Zhaoxia smiled and nodded at him, "Okay, you drive. But you need to take a traffic rules test to get your driver's license. Do you know all the words?"
"I have no problem identifying commonly used words. Isn't the traffic regulations test all multiple-choice questions? I can understand them."
Lin Zhaoxia gave him a thumbs up, "I give you a thumbs up. But I still need to answer more questions. Even if I read too many questions, even if I can't write, I just need to be able to recognize them."
Zhao Guangyuan nodded. For him, modern Chinese characters are very simple and not difficult.
He also told Lin Zhaoxia about his shop in Nanbei City...
"I asked the shopkeeper to write the prices of all items in numbers and clearly mark the prices. Now this method has become popular in Nanbei City. The illiterate poor people in Nanbei City can also master the writing and use of ten numbers very well."
Numbers are really much easier to master than Chinese characters.
Lin Zhaoxia was a little surprised, he was quite smart, "Look at history, changes in dynasties are mostly driven by the common people. If you get the support of the poor people, half of your big problems will be solved."
Zhao Guangyuan was not surprised at all, she could understand what he said. She really understood him, knew what he was thinking, and gave him the greatest encouragement and support.
He looked at her with admiration in his eyes.
"Can you help me calculate whether this is feasible if I sell modern food back?"
