Two cars leaving Yagyu Village stopped at an intersection.
It's not a malfunction.
Only when the people in the car left Yagyu Village could they breathe a sigh of relief. When they were all their own people, they were able to shed their pretense of being aloof and calm.
Calligraphy masters like Li Jun and Shen Qing were like children, eager to take out their own small wooden boxes.
A small pear wood box of the same style contains a seal.
Compared to those unforgettable specialties.
The seal is what they value most.
"It's so beautiful. Do you have any ink pads?
I want to try the seal effect."
An old man named Sun kept turning the seal over, and finally wanted to see the actual effect of the seal.
But before he finished speaking, everyone else looked at him speechless.
"No, are you really going to use it?"
"What else?
Stamping Master Liu’s seal on your work will definitely have the finishing touch.”
"Although what you say makes sense, I plan to keep it as a family heirloom anyway."
"Yes, I have collected many calligraphy works by famous artists. Compared with them, they are all rubbish. I have cleared a room just for them."
"It's so beautiful. Take this glass tiger statue for example. It's so expressive and lifelike. Holding it with one hand, I feel like I'm being disrespectful to it. It's really mysterious."
"I think my seal is better. It's a long-lived turtle, which prolongs life. The seal is also engraved with the four characters "Honored Virtue", which has a very good meaning."
"..."
As early as in the Zhou family, when they saw and accepted the seal, they had countless words of exclamation.
They did praise a lot, but they reserved a lot of restraint.
Afraid of being laughed at by outsiders.
But now, after leaving Yagyu Village, everyone knows the truth and can finally speak freely.
"Master Liu's statue can even be auctioned for hundreds of millions of yuan. How much do you think this seal is worth?"
Rong Shijun showed some money-obsessed nature.
Including the previous six people in the group, he was the only one who was not satisfied after receiving the Spring Festival couplets as a gift and went to the village to buy Spring Festival couplets.
No one else did this.
The words that reeked of copper immediately aroused dissatisfaction among the other five people.
"What did you say?
If Master Liu finds out, what will he think of us calligraphers?"
"that is."
"Old Rong, you have participated in various programs and auctions over the years. You have earned enough, so don't fall in love with money. No wonder your calligraphy level has not improved."
The five people immediately criticized Rong Shijun verbally and writtenly.
Are you actually talking about money in front of such a peerless work of art?
How vulgar!
"Hey, hey, I'm just asking casually.
Money is also one of the criteria for measuring the value of artwork.”
Rong Shijun quickly explained.
"That's true...but it's hard to give a price. Just the seal material, top-quality white marble, a material the size of a small square seal, has a market price of no less than six million yuan!"
"Although Master Liu's calligraphy is stunning, he is too low-key. Apart from us, outsiders in China may not know that he has such extraordinary calligraphy skills, so his valuation will not be too high.
"The seal is his work. He made it casually. Although it has not reached the peak level, it has never appeared on the market. It can be valued at 20 to 30 million, right?"
Everyone agreed when they heard it.
The current valuation is given based on cognition.
Of course, even if it is over 100 million yuan, they may not sell it.
Thousands of gold are easy to get, but treasures are hard to find.
They never dreamed of getting a seal like this. It would be great to keep it as a family heirloom and occasionally show it off to friends and colleagues.
Therefore, except for Rong Shijun, no one else in the car had any idea of linking seals to money.
Shen Qing, who had been silent all this time, rolled his eyes slightly, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "You want to sell?
Let’s do this, Shijun, I’m willing to pay 50 million! You sell me the seal!”
Before he finished speaking, Li Jun immediately interrupted, "I will offer 55 million yuan!"
"
Shen Qing glared at Li Jun.
"I'll offer you 60 million yuan!"
Shen Qing snorted coldly.
"..."
In a matter of seconds, the price was raised to 80 million yuan.
The rest of the people were very helpless, it wasn't that they didn't want to take pictures.
It’s just that they simply don’t have that much money.
Among those present, Li Jun was the only one, and Shen Qing had the strongest assets. They either had investment vision or their children started businesses.
As for the rest of the people, their family background can only be considered middle-class and their family is well off.
"Didn't you say that the valuation is only 20 to 30 million?"
Rong Shijun looked at them speechlessly.
"Haha, I believe Master Liu will reach greater heights.
And I like his works. No matter how much money I have, it doesn’t matter. The outside world doesn’t think so. Rich people value value and profit more.”
Shen Qing replied.
He changed the topic and said, "Shijun, if you are willing to sell it, I can give you another authentic work of Tang Yin."
Li Jun's face turned crooked with anger, "Old Shen, you are so cruel."
"Hey, I may not be able to outbid you in bidding, but when it comes to famous collections, I have much more money than you."
"..." Li Jun had nothing to say.
Rong Shijun has been interested in Shen Qing's collection for a long time, especially some of Tang Yin's high-level fakes.
Shen Qing was even willing to show Tang Yin's authentic work.
It seems that the seal is more precious than Tang Yin's original work.
Li Junzhen couldn't compare, he couldn't come up with anything more tempting.
Rong Shijun chuckled, "No, what's the use of asking for money? Keep it, you will feel refreshed when you look at it. I am going to give it to him and pass it on from generation to generation..."
Shen Qing glanced at him helplessly, "Why are you asking so many questions?"
Rong Shijun shrugged.
The vehicle restarted, and the people inside could not wait to return to Beijing.
Rao is a master who has reached their position, and should be indifferent, but now they are more or less vain and want to brag and show off to the people at the calligraphy association headquarters.
…
In the village.
After they left, the Dragon Spear team arrived.
There were seven people in the group, three women and four men. They were all physically strong and respectful to Zhou Huayang.
"Zhenzhen Zhou, Bu Guo ordered us to come here to receive the formula related to the Moon Goddess Flower."
Zhou Huayang gave a USB flash drive to the squad leader, "All the recipes are in it."
The squad leader was a burly, dark-skinned middle-aged man. He solemnly thanked Zhou Huayang: "Yes, Guo Bu means that the value of the formula cannot be measured in money.
"We are willing to open the headquarters treasure house, and you can choose three items at will.
"As for the main materials, we will send people over regularly to receive them. Guo Bu wants to purchase the Luna Flower for 100,000 yuan per plant. What do you think?
It’s up to you.”
After Zhou Huayang listened, he secretly sighed that Guo Bin was really generous.
"Well, one hundred thousand yuan for a high-quality Luna flower.
The effect will be 20~40% higher than ordinary ones.
"The plate also records how to select the quality of the Luna Flower. You should send someone to select it when the time comes."
Luna Flower is ready for mass production.
Zhou Huayang plans to expand the Moon Flower of ordinary quality into cultivating ornamental flowers, medicinal foods, and new drugs of the same month group.
After greeting them.
After the Dragon Spear team brought a batch of moon flowers and medicinal materials, they returned.
That night, Guo Bin called and thanked Zhou Huayang again for his generosity.
