"Boss Ye, your son is an expert. Last year, he gave some advice to Mr. Sha, which benefited him a lot. He always said that he would find a chance to thank Ye Tian, but he is no longer in Yanjing. Well,
I'm making a meal at noon today. Let's go to Donglaishun to eat mutton. I want to give Xiaoye a toast..."
Manager Sha thought that Ye Dongping knew what his son had done. Although he didn't explain Ye Tian's feng shui advice to him clearly, he didn't hide it much. Meeting Ye Tian here, Sha Lingxiao was surprised.
A little excited, you know, he is encountering something recently...
"This kid must have been reading fortune-telling or practicing Feng Shui again..."
After hearing what President Sha said, how could Ye Dongping not understand? He glared at his son angrily. It seemed that he was not very peaceful when he was in college.
In fact, Ye Dongping knows more about his son's abilities than anyone else, but when he thinks that his son will become a magic stick in the future, he always feels a little uncomfortable. No matter how you say it, the old Ye family used to be a powerful family, and among the descendants
If such a gangster comes out, Ye Dongping will feel ashamed.
To put it bluntly, the reputation of the Feng Shui fortune teller profession is too bad. If Ye Tian and Lao Tao learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting and made a living from it, Ye Dongping would never ask about it.
Ye Tian saw his father's reproachful eyes and knew that he was beginning to struggle again, so he said, "Dad, don't you want to discuss business with Mr. Sha? Let's talk about it after we go in..."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Sha, I'm really sorry for neglecting, please come inside..." After being reminded by his son, Ye Dongping finally came to his senses and hurriedly called Sha Lingxiao into the yard.
"Dad, Uncle Sha, you two chat first, I'll go out..."
Ye Tian has no interest in the antique business, especially when his father was doing business, he looked like he wanted to make money but couldn't save face. Every time he saw his father discussing business, Ye Tian would always think of that sentence about something that he shouldn't have.
Folk slang for chastity archway.
"Hey, Ye Tian, where are you going?"
Seeing that Ye Tian did not follow, Sha Lingxiao also stood firm. He originally came here to collect the ancient inkstone from Ye Dongping, but after meeting Ye Tian, this matter was not that important.
Already.
"Uncle Sha, I don't know much about antiques, so I won't help you. I'll go outside for a walk. If I don't walk this day, I won't feel well..."
After eating every morning, he would walk around the base of the Imperial City and look at the students going to school, the old people returning home from morning exercises, and the white-collar workers who got up late to catch the bus. For Ye Tian, life is full of joy.
Everything is condensed into it, which is a good experience.
"Don't bother me. It's easy to negotiate business with Boss Ye. It will be over in a moment. Uncle Sha will come back to see you for something else..."
After looking for Ye Tian for two years, I finally got stuck at home today. Sha Lingxiao was willing to let Ye Tian go easily. After calling Ye Tian, he looked at Ye Dongping and said, "Boss Ye should be a few years older than me.
, if I don’t mind being presumptuous, I will call you Brother Ye..."
"Don't take it seriously, just call me Dongping. Come on, let's go in and talk first..." Ye Dongping took a deep look at his son and said, "Don't go out today, let's come in together..."
From opening a buying station to opening an antique store, Ye Dongping has been in business for almost ten years. He is well aware of the importance of bank relationships. He has also suffered losses when he had projects but no funds. Several times he encountered some relatively cheap projects.
But I didn’t have the money to purchase some items with big doors, which wasted a great opportunity.
Nowadays, people who really make money basically do it with nothing. They borrow money from the bank with their left hand, and then use their right hand to invest in projects. If they make a profit, you are good, I am good, everyone, and if they lose, the bank is unlucky. Anyway,
The amount of dead and bad debts every year is an astronomical amount. As long as you make up a legitimate reason, no one will take it as an issue.
Although I don’t know what level of bank president Governor Sha is, even if he is the director of a savings bank, he can still help at critical times, so Ye Dongping showed off his old face as a father and thought
I got to know and befriend Mr. Sha through his son.
"Okay, but let's talk first. I don't know much about antiques. Uncle Sha, if you are deceived by my father, don't be responsible for it..." Seeing his father speak, Ye Tian nodded helplessly,
Followed behind the two of them.
"You bastard, you haven't done anything for three days, haven't you?" Ye Dongping glanced at his son angrily. As the saying goes, brothers kill tigers when father and son fight together, but this son is good, and instead of helping, he will cause trouble behind the scenes.
"Haha, buying antiques requires one's eyesight. Who can tell the difference between real and fake ones?"
Hearing the conversation between father and son, Sha Lingxiao found it very interesting. In his impression, Ye Tian was a person who didn't talk much, but could hit the point in every sentence, giving people an extremely mysterious feeling that he seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
, but the Ye Tian in front of him, although he looked much older, looked more like a big boy.
And to put it bluntly, Mr. Sha really doesn’t care much about whether the ancient inkstone is real or fake. What he bought as a gift was elegance, while the recipient of the gift received elegance. It would be too tacky to talk about money.
Let’s talk about what a bank is for. Isn’t it a place where you can see the sky and deal with banknotes?
Ye Dongping has also developed some sophistication in doing business over the years. Sha Lingxiao has been a leader for many years, and he is also a good player in making jokes. He is a man who deliberately makes friends, and a drunkard who is not interested in drinking. With just a few words, he is like a good friend for many years.
Generally speaking, Ye Tian felt ashamed when he saw it.
When passing by the kitchen, Ye Dongping saw the eldest sister coming out and said quickly: "Sister, a distinguished guest is here. Please find the Pu'er tea that you helped me put away last time..."
"These two men went out front and back, why are they back together?" The old lady muttered, but without saying anything else, she went to the room where the groceries were kept to stir up tea leaves for her brother.
Since there are many rooms in this courtyard house and few people live there, several rooms have been transformed by Ye Dongping into antique collection rooms, which contain various types of antiques that he has collected from various places over the past ten years.
Because Ye Dongping himself is a man of culture, after learning the appreciation of calligraphy and painting from an old Taoist, he also became interested in collecting. The reason why he has not been able to make a fortune in recent years is because some good treasures have been collected by Ye Dongping.
In terms of the quality of the collections in the high pavilion, the objects in Ye Dongping's rooms are no less than those of the top collectors in the country.
"President Sha, this is the Duan Inkstone. It is one of the four famous inkstones in our country. Whether they are ancient literati or modern painting masters, they all regard it as a treasure. Take it out for your own use or give it as a gift.
, are all very face-saving things..."
Around this room, Ye Dongping built a circle of rectangular shelves against the wall. On the shelves, he sold various styles of ancient inkstones, paperweights, brushes and other study utensils. There was a smell floating in the air throughout the room.
The smell of ink.
Not to mention, the square Duan Inkstone that Ye Dongping took out is really good. It is the Laokeng Duan Inkstone produced in Meihuakeng, Zhaoqing. Compared with those inkstones that have been shoddily made by folk craftsmen and their value has plummeted, this Square Duan Inkstone is exquisitely made.
It is a relatively rare and top-quality inkstone.
"President Sha, Mr. Ye has not opened a store in Yanjing for a long time. What he pays attention to is credibility. He will never do anything to get himself delisted. You can show this square inkstone to anyone. If it is fake, Mr. Ye
I'm willing to pay ten for the fake one!"
Seeing Sha Lingxiao flipping the Fang Duan Inkstone over and over, but not saying anything for a long time, Ye Dongping thought that this person in front of him was an expert. Did he see any flaws? However, this Fang Duan Inkstone is an inherited object. Liang Qichao was
It has been used before and a private seal was engraved on it, so Ye Dongping dared to say such big things.
"Brother Ye, what are you talking about? Can I still not believe what you say? I want this Fang Duan Inkstone..."
If you want to ask Governor Sha to tell you some financial policies and loan regulations, you can definitely pick it up from scratch. But when it comes to appreciating antiques, it's just a matter of knowing everything about it... If you don't know anything, you can just use an inkstone made of clay to tell him.
Duan Yan and Mr. Sha might just believe it.
The reason why he was silent just now was because he was thinking about how to speak to Ye Tian later. As for the matter of buying and selling inkstones, it was no longer that important in his mind.
"Okay, since President Sha is so cheerful, if this Fang Inkstone is cheaper by 100,000 yuan, you can take it for 80,000 yuan..."
After hearing what Sha Lingxiao said, Ye Dongping was overjoyed. He had collected this square inkstone from a dilapidated scholarly family in Shaoxing five years ago. At that time, the old man of the family passed away, and the brothers broke up and took these.
What they considered "junk" was thrown away to the old lady.
The old lady didn't understand this either, and her life was in embarrassment, so she sold it to Ye Dongping for 300 yuan, along with a piece of Liang Qichao's calligraphy, which made Ye Dongping so happy that he couldn't sleep for several days, but now the domestic collection
There are not many people who make ancient inkstones, and they have never been sold on the shelves, so Ye Dongping has kept it until now.
What Ye Dongping didn't expect was that as soon as he said these words, President Sha's expression dropped, he waved his hand and said: "No, Brother Ye, what you said is that since the thing is a good thing,
, I already took advantage of it when I bought it, how can I ask you to lower the price again? The fixed price is 100,000 yuan as we agreed before!"
"This...this, President Sha..." Sha Lingxiao's words made Ye Dongping a little dumbfounded. He had been in the antique business for so many years, and this was the first time he saw a buyer think that his items were sold cheaply.
"Hey, what kind of president are you? Don't listen to Ye Tian's random yelling. The title of president is to fool outsiders. We are our own people. Brother Ye can just call me brother..."
Before Ye Dongping finished speaking, he was interrupted by Sha Lingxiao. One of the two brothers wanted to make good friends with each other to facilitate future business, but the other wanted to curry favor with his son through me. They actually competed over the title and price.
