Chapter 0101
The few calligraphy regular scripts written by Fang Feiyang hanging from his wrist are quite satisfactory, and they basically achieve the goal of "keeping the pen to the right point, and making turns that are elegant and round", which shows that he still has some basic calligraphy skills. However, in the eyes of experts, these ten regular scripts
The big characters are basically similar to ghost paintings.
At best, it can only be said to be barely visible.
However, Song Longshan nodded slightly, feeling very satisfied, and commented very seriously.
"Well, my writing is much better than last time. Keep working hard." Song Longshan pointed out a few areas for improvement with a smile.
After pondering for a moment, Song Longshan continued: "When practicing calligraphy, what you practice more is your mentality and state of mind. If you have righteousness in your heart, your words will be correct... I see that you can write the words 'self-improvement' naturally.
It contains such an elegant and unrestrained flavor, what’s the matter? Is there a happy event hidden in your heart?”
Fang Feiyang opened his mouth wide and exclaimed: "Master, you are amazing. You can tell so much from just a few words. I have something to do recently and I just want to talk to you."
So Fang Feiyang told Song Longshan everything about Panxia Jibaoxuan Antique Shop from beginning to end.
At the same time, he also talked about the original purpose of taking over this shop, as well as the future positioning in the direction of antique business, consumer groups, and the adoption of modern corporate management concepts to adapt the operating model.
Song Longshan listened intently to Fang Feiyang's eloquent explanation, nodding in agreement from time to time.
"Feiyang, you have such a good idea. You are knowledgeable and good at using new methods that we old guys don't understand. I was originally worried that you were young and had insufficient experience to take charge of an antique shop. Now it seems
It’s just that I worry too much.”
"Master, running an antique shop is also a challenge for me. I can learn more. And Master Yao Tong from Jibaoxuan will continue to stay as the shopkeeper. With him in charge of the shop, at least
Don’t try to get away with those nonsense.”
In fact, Fang Feiyang had a good plan in mind. Yao Tong, the fat shopkeeper of Jibaoxuan, must have a good eye for conventional antiques. When his own store opens in the future, there will definitely be many professionally faked counterfeit goods, deliberately sent to his door for appraisal.
, wait for you to drill the eyes, and take the opportunity to resell the "treasure" to the shop. Fang Feiyang only needs Yao Tong to handle this step well. After all, he himself cannot squat in the shop every day.
The rest of the supply and sales were left to Fang Feiyang. With his incredible super-sensory abilities, he could pick up the missing items, buy them at a low price, and sell them at a high price in his own shop. This was a piece of cake.
If you don’t make a lot of money by then, you’ll make a lot of money every day!
Isn’t there a common saying in the antiques industry that if you don’t open for three years, you will survive for three years if you open.
If the owner of this store, Fang Feiyang, is here, you can open it every year and every day, and it will definitely be a high-quality store.
Of course, when Fang Feiyang encountered those national treasures and important weapons, he would definitely put them into his own private treasure house.
The smile on Song Longshan's face became thicker, he nodded slightly and said: "Okay, although your antique shop has not opened yet, I can foresee that the business will be booming in the future, which will definitely surpass Old Man Ji's splendor.
Baozhai', hahaha..."
"By the way, have you decided what the antique shop will be called after it opens?" Song Longshan suddenly remembered this.
"I haven't thought about this yet. Why don't you get one, master, and ask for a calligraphy treasure by the way? I'll find someone to make it into a plaque, hehe..."
Fang Feiyang had an idea and decided to turn to his master.
With Song Longshan's current reputation in the Chinese antique industry, if he were willing to write an inscription for any shop, the commercial influence would undoubtedly be huge.
Since Song Longshan accepted Fang Feiyang as his disciple, he has never shown off his reputation and identity in front of him. Fang Feiyang also never understood that the mentor beside him was actually a prominent figure with a background as high as the sky.
However, as time went by, various things, news and connections around him gradually allowed Fang Feiyang to see clearly the tip of the iceberg of his master's background.
Song Longshan studied in the United States for a Ph.D. in the 1960s and once served as the director of the Central Political Research Office of the Chinese ruling party.
What kind of institutional department is this? In the 1980s, the Political Research Office was a special department that provided analysis of international situations and sensitive events to leaders of major countries. It was the think tank and adviser to national leaders.
Later, for some unknown reason, Song Longshan took the initiative to resign and left the government department. After returning, the old man’s usual hobby was collecting antiques. He joined the Chinese Collectors Association and served as the president of the Collectors Association for two consecutive terms. Later, he was hired
He is a director of the Jewelry and Jade Association. In Sioux City, he also serves as the vice president of the Antiques Association. He is respected by people in the circle as a cultural relic expert, scholar, connoisseur and great collector.
However, Song Longshan has grown older in recent years and is unwilling to show his face anymore. Although he has those honorary titles, not many people in the younger generation know him.
It was only after Fang Feiyang became a disciple that he slowly learned about the old man's prominent identity and background bit by bit.
This was an opportunity. Since Mr. Song asked about the shop sign in person, it showed that he was still very concerned about the name of his apprentice's antique shop.
"Haha, okay, let me think about it carefully... The signboard name of the antique shop should be easy to remember, but also have an ancient charm... Well, I have it, what do you think of this..."
As he spoke, Song Longshan took out a new two-foot piece of rice paper, dipped his pen in ink, and wrote the four words "Prosperous Collection" in seal script.
The four large seal characters outlined under the pen peak of Longshan in Song Dynasty have a majestic atmosphere and thick stipples.
"Okay, this is a good name, that's it." Fang Feiyang slapped his thigh.
As the saying goes, buy gold in troubled times and hide antiques in prosperous times. This sentence is true at all.
Using these four characters as the store's signboard can fully attract customers who have investment and collection needs. At the same time, it is positioned that the antique products on display in our store must be high-quality products worthy of being handed down from generation to generation.
Antiques are cultural heritage and rare items left to us by our ancestors. As a non-renewable rare resource, its supply has long stayed in the mark of history forever. Such a demand is gradually increasing, but the quantity is gradually increasing.
A reduced special product, its collection value is beyond doubt.
And its investment value is becoming more and more obvious. Its potential is huge in terms of value preservation and appreciation.
Song Longshan gently put down his brush and said, "Well, since you agree with this name, I will think about it later and try to write a better one."
When Fang Feiyang heard this, he stuck out his tongue secretly. In his heart, these four words on the desk in front of him were already written very well. Unfortunately, the master was not satisfied yet. The old man had really high requirements for himself.
After the master and the apprentice agreed on the name of the antique shop's signboard, Fang Feiyang couldn't wait to see what the old man's four seal characters "Shengshi Collection" would look like when made into a plaque.
Song Longshan has the habit of taking a lunch break at noon every day.
It was almost time now, Song Longshan turned around and left the study, heading towards the bedroom, leaving Fang Feiyang alone in the large study.
