Chapter 201: No way

(Today's third update is available, just subscribe!)

Manager Wu's fingers were thin and slender. When he opened the scroll, his eyes were habitually narrowed to see more clearly.

"The spring tide comes with rain in the evening, and there is no one in the wild ferry to the boats."

There are two lines of large characters on the paper, running script, and the pen is long and snake-like, stretching down. It looks quite impressive in one go.

These two lines of poetry originated from the seven charades of the Tang Dynasty poet Wei Yingwu. They are famous lines. They are used as calligraphy and complement each other and can add a lot of points. However, Ye Junsheng's use of this is lazy. At least, compared with his previous practices, such as "Hutu Tie", he undoubtedly cut corners.

The biggest difference is naturally the seal where the blank space is left.

The seal used by Ye Junsheng for these three characters is the chicken blood stone seal given by Li Yifeng, engraved with the four words "Pengcheng Ye Feng".

"Ye Feng, Pengcheng?"

Manager Wu said, "I was very unfamiliar with it quickly, and even where Pengcheng was, I was a little confused. You should know that the information of the Tianhua Dynasty was blocked. Ordinary people may not leave the county town in their entire lives, let alone other prefectures. In addition, the publication of books is underdeveloped, and the knowledge about geography is even poorer. Many people don't even know that there are countries abroad, and they believe that the Tianhua Dynasty is the world."

Under the jurisdiction of Jizhou, Pengcheng is just a small county town. It is unknown and has never been heard of by Manager Wu, who has lived in Jiangnan for a long time. It is not surprising at all.

As for the name "Ye Feng", he searched for the dry intestines and had no impression - it was right to have no impression. He originally thought that the other party was unknown, but if a loud name suddenly appeared, he would have seen a ghost.

Originally, Manager Wu wanted to skip the signature quickly, but when he looked at the seal, the iron painted silver hook, the brushstrokes were stern and extraordinary. His appreciation level was not very high, but he worked diligently in the store for decades, and had never eaten pork, but he had seen pigs running. In a jargon, he said: "Only the ears are familiar."

After reviewing it a lot, he has some insights into all the details of calligraphy and painting. Now he sees the seal rules in calligraphy and sees some clues.

The seal used in this piece seems to be not an ordinary product!

He has the vision, and the bloodstone seal was written by Li Yifeng as a sincere gift. It can be said that he has put in a lot of effort, how could it be so bad?

As a literati, a seal is equivalent to his own storefront, and he is not careless. Ye Junsheng used this good seal, so Manager Wu couldn't help but look up to this, and then he looked at the words carefully.

Characters are also good characters. The pen is full and the spirit is also filled with a breath. It is integrated and it feels very comfortable to see.

I have to say that this is a rare good handwriting that Manager Wu has reviewed in recent years. Ordinary scholars come to sell their works, and most of their calligraphy is in a normal way. In a nutshell, the craftsmanship is too deep and neat, but it seems to be printed. There is no artistic attainment and is of low value.

The character Ye Junsheng has a different style, and it has a unique taste and is very pleasing to see.

After looking at it for a while, Manager Wu couldn't help but go to see the other two pairs. After observing, he quickly calculated in his mind and felt a sense of responsibility.

After a cup of tea, he put down his words and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Ye, I wonder how much are your three characters?"

"One hundred texts per picture."

Ye Junsheng's answer was very straightforward.

This price has dropped a lot compared to the previous period when I was alone. The key is that it is very timely and extremely good, so there is no need to be petty. Or the price in the past has some hype, which is equivalent to Jiang Taigong's fishing decoration.

A hundred articles are the closest to the current real market - his reputation in calligraphy. Even though he wrote works that shocked Li Yifeng and others, the overall scope is still too narrow and does not have universal significance.

There are examples of becoming famous in one day, but in the final analysis, it takes time to accumulate to see the true nature.

Having said that, if Ye Junsheng can become famous in the talent competition, it will be another market. But what has not happened yet needs to be proved and cannot be confused.

"A hundred texts per picture?"

Manager Wu showed a surprised look: The price is undoubtedly much beyond his psychological expectations and is difficult to accept. After all, for an unknown scholar's work, it would be considered a high price:

"Mr. Ye, I'm sorry, I'm bluntly saying that your price is high."

After saying that, his eyes narrowed again and looked at Ye Junsheng leisurely: Business is nothing more than bargaining. In this regard, he is a veteran, and he asked himself how much money he should do when dealing with a scholar. How many years can Ye Junsheng do in his early twenties?

Ye Junsheng smiled and said, "Sorry, if it is lower than this price, I will not take action."

Manager Wu was stunned, but he didn't expect that the other party was so firm. He thought about it and said, "Since Mr. Ye is so confident, why not hang it in this store and send it to you."

Consignment, the store only charges a certain proportion of the fees, but it hardly takes any risk. You can make money by selling it. If you can’t sell it, it is also a problem for the seller, and it only occupies some places at most.

Upon hearing this, Ye Junsheng shook his head: "Then I'd better go to another house to ask." This was even more firm, which was equivalent to taking the initiative to say goodbye.

Manager Wu is indeed an old fried dough stick. He was very sensitive and smelled the trick: either Ye Junsheng was full of confidence; or he was short of money and waited for money to choose the consignment method, because he couldn't afford to wait...

If you think carefully, the latter is more likely.

There is a chance!

This reason itself can be used as an entry point for bargaining, and according to past experience, it is absolutely unfavorable. He coughed dryly and was about to speak up and proposed a bid of about "fifty cents", but he never thought that he would see Ye Junsheng packing his copybook.

Judging from the situation, there is no room for bargaining.

An inexplicable anger surged, and the shopkeeper Wu stopped bidding and returned to his calm expression, saying, "Since that's the case, then Mr. Ye, please go to another house to ask. Don't blame me for being unspeakable. I have been working in this Xiliu Lane for decades, and I have seen countless people, and I have handled countless calligraphy and paintings. Even if I ask about the market for hundreds of words, I am afraid no one dares to ask for it."

If you buy it, you can't make a move, which means you'll lose your hands. If you lose money, the responsible shopkeeper will be responsible for it. At the least, you will be scolded by your boss, and at the worst, you will also be beaten. Therefore, you must operate with caution and strive to suppress the acquisition price.

Ye Junsheng rolled up three pieces of characters, put them back into the book, and bowed to Manager Wu: "I'm sorry, I'll say goodbye." He walked out.

Manager Wu shrugged his shoulders and murmured, "All year round, there will always be many young people with higher hearts, no matter how high they are, they will never make it, but in the end, they will always be hitting walls everywhere and are just wandering around, which is a pity."

Although he said this, Ye Junsheng, who had walked a short distance, heard it and his steps stopped a little, but he did not look back.

——Some choices, since you have confidence, you should move forward without hesitation. As long as there is still road, there is still hope. (To be continued...)
