Inspired by this, Sun Jian decided that instead of going door-to-door on Liulichang East and West Streets to buy famous calligraphy and paintings, he might as well leave it to Jin Huifa as an agent. He could also help check that whoever sold the goods had stubs and even if there were fakes, there was an owner.
Jin Huifa will become Sun Jian's agent in purchasing famous calligraphy and paintings in the capital, allowing the other party to make a fortune accordingly.
"Thank you, Mr. Sun!"
Jin Huifa was very happy. It was wise to sell nineteen famous calligraphy and paintings to Sun Jian at a 10% discount. Which cultural relics store owner around there didn't have more than a dozen famous calligraphy and paintings in his hands? If he could sell more than 200 paintings to Sun Jian, he could earn around 20,000 yuan in referral fees tomorrow.

Saturday.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the Qigong calligraphy and painting art exhibition closed, and the group held a brief closing ceremony.
Sun Jian, Mr. Qi, Zhang Jinghuai and Chen Jie followed Liu Lingfei into the general manager's office.
Sun Jian obtained a list of 87 Qigong calligraphy and painting works from Liu Lingfei (including the ten previously reserved), including 68 calligraphy works and 19 traditional Chinese painting works, each of which was opened for 85,000. dollar check.
"Thank you, Mr. Sun!"
All calligraphy and painting masterpieces at the Qigong Painting and Calligraphy Art Exhibition were sold out, thanks to Sun Jian!
"Thank you very much, Sun Jian. This is the name stamp I carved for you yesterday!"
"Thank you, Mr. Qi!"
The seal carved by Mr. Qi himself is an exquisite work of art and will be a cultural relic worth over ten thousand yuan in the future. Experts can recognize it at a glance. If Sun Jian can be appreciated by Mr. Qi, the value of his exquisite calligraphy will also increase.
Mr. Qi Gong was determined, and he used Zhu Wen (Yin Wen) for the name stamps he carved, while Mr. Wu Zhangshu used Bai Wen (Yang Wen) for the name seals carved by Mr. Wu Zhangshu.
Mr. Qi has read "Lanting Preface" which Sun Jian gave to Wu Zhangshu.
From now on, every calligraphy work created by Sun Jian will have two name stamps on the left and right, one in red and one in white, echoing each other and the icing on the cake.
The more celebrity names stamped on famous calligraphy and paintings, the greater the value of the calligraphy and painting, which is recognized by famous artists. If there are inscriptions and postscripts by famous artists, the more valuable they are for collection.
The painting that Mr. Qi gave to Sun Jian in the study that day turned out to be "Country and Mountains", which was sold for more than 50 million yuan in his previous life. Now the maximum price is 5,000 yuan!
Good deeds will be rewarded!
In the previous life, economic governance and rectification lasted for three years. The inflation rate and economic growth rate both dropped to about 3%. The economic decline led to a sharp decline in fiscal revenue, stagnant social investment, reduced purchasing power, weak markets, and various industries. The industry is in slump.
What goes up comes down!
The cultural relics market is no exception.
Yesterday afternoon and this morning, Sun Jian was busy in Jinwenzhai. Jin Huifa, Chen Jie and Jin Qing helped. He spent more than 475,000 yuan to acquire 379 famous calligraphy and paintings, and paid Jin Huifa another 20,000 yuan. Thirty-six hundred yuan in hard work fees.
No one will be refused!
They are all masterpieces of calligraphy and painting masters, including Kang S, Guo Mruo, Kang Youwei, Yu Youren, Xie Wuliang, Xie Bingyan, Wang Jingfen, Shen Yinmo, Li Zhimin, Kang Yin, Liu Qian, Dong Shouping, Wang Xuezhong, Wuzhongqi, Li Duo, Liu Bingsen, Excellent calligraphy works by Shao Yu, Shen Peng and others.
Everyone is happy!

Rongbaozhai is a state-owned cultural relics store under the leadership of the Municipal Commerce Bureau. The general manager is appointed by the Municipal Commerce Bureau. The employees are all employees of state-owned enterprises. It operates independently, conducts independent accounting, is responsible for its own profits and losses, and pays taxes according to regulations.
The calligraphers and painters who have just started are proud that their works can be sold at the counter of Rongbaozhai, and their net worth has doubled.
Famous calligraphers and painters are also frequent visitors to Rongbaozhai. In addition to selling their masterpieces, they will also sell their collections to Rongbaozhai when they encounter difficulties or need a lot of money. They will also spend money to buy the collections they like.
It is known as the "Home of Calligraphers and Painters".
Rongbaozhai also purchases exquisite paintings and calligraphy from famous artists, jade jewelry, porcelain, antiques, handicrafts and the Four Treasures of the Study from the market. Calligraphy, painting, porcelain, jade jewelry and antiques are priced at a 50% increase, and handicrafts and the Four Treasures of the Study are sold at a 30% increase. Prices are clearly marked and invoices are issued. Testimonial.
Liu Lingfei took over the position of general manager in October last year. Last year's sales increased by 30% and profits by 25%. At the beginning of the year, he announced at the workers' congress that the sales and profits in 1988 were at last year's level. Basically an increase of 30%.
In order to complete the task, Liu Lingfei also saw the rising prices of calligraphy and painting works, jade jewelry, antiques and the four treasures of the study on the market. Liu Lingfei asked friends for help. At the beginning of the year, he took out a loan of 500,000 yuan from China Construction Bank to add calligraphy and painting works by famous artists, Ming and Qing porcelain, Acquisition and sale of jade jewelry and antiques.
In the first half of the year, Liu Lingfei was extremely confident that he had overfulfilled the task. No one expected that on August 30, he would implement economic austerity policies, conduct rectification, and recover non-compliant loans in advance.
The cultural relics, calligraphy and painting market suddenly became turbulent.
A friend came to ask him to pay back the loan in advance.
After repaying the loan, there was only less than 400,000 yuan in cash left on the books, and there were more than 4 million yuan in famous paintings and calligraphy, porcelain, jade and jewelry, antiques, handicrafts and the Four Treasures of the Study in the warehouse.
Judging from the scope and scale of the country's economic austerity policy, Liu Lingfei suddenly had a premonition that the cultural relics market, which had been booming for nearly ten years, was going to cool down. In the past three years, the number of calligraphy and paintings by famous modern artists on the market has nearly tripled.
The weather vane of the postal market, the Gengshen Monkey Ticket, rose to a maximum of 80 yuan in mid-August, but now no one is willing to take over the 70 yuan price! Some people predict that it will fall to the highest price of 30 yuan in 1986.
From three yuan in 1984 to eighty yuan in 1988, in less than five years, the Gengshen Monkey Ticket surged by nearly 26 times!
Every surge comes with a crash!
Merchants who are keen on the market have secretly shipped goods. In less than a month, the market price of calligraphy and painting has dropped by more than half. Fewer and fewer goods are being purchased, and more and more goods are being shipped. The downward trend is obvious. Other shops are turning around. As the leader of the capital's cultural relics market, Rongbaozhai is the vane of cultural relics prices. Once the price is reduced and large quantities of goods are shipped, it will cause panic in the cultural relics market. Now, even if it wants to reduce the price and ship large quantities, it cannot find powerful buyers!
Liu Lingfei believed Sun Jian's prediction that the economic tightening policy would last for about three years. The situation in the cultural relics market next year was not optimistic. He quickly sold a batch of inventory at a reduced price to realize profits. He had a large amount of cash in his account. Even if the price continued to decline, he would not feel comfortable. Panic.
Everyone wants to sell goods, so where can they find buyers for large quantities of cultural relics?
Yesterday at noon, Jin Huifa, who had drunk a lot of wine, accidentally revealed at the banquet that he had sold a batch of famous calligraphy and paintings to Sun Jian. Sun Jian also hinted that he had a large amount of cash in his hand, had no investment direction for the time being, and had a strong interest in collecting famous calligraphy and paintings!
"Mr. Sun, we still have a large number of famous calligraphy and paintings in our store. Is Mr. Sun still interested?"
Liu Lingfei discussed with the leadership team such as Ma Yuntao and Wang Chongming in the afternoon, and collectively decided to sell a batch of famous calligraphy and paintings to Sun Jian, and listed the list and price.
