Chapter 187: Ninety-nine Plum Blossoms to Relieve the Cold (Seeking Monthly Pass)
"Since the boss is willing to pay one million, I'll sell it to you for one million. After all, Qin Ge is an employee of your company, and you definitely can't cheat Qin Ge." Luo Yun did not speak, but it was Luo Yun's cousin.
Said something.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "I am a professional appraiser. Although I am not very famous, my appraisal level is pretty good. The price I offer will not be very high, but I will definitely not let you suffer."
Qin Ge couldn't help but said: "Boss, we believe in you. If you didn't tell us what you really wanted, I would have given this pony to you right then. I believe you couldn't have cheated us."
Luo Yun's expression changed and he said: "I discussed it with Qin Ge and we can't let you suffer, so you can just give us 800,000 yuan. The highest price we inquired about is only 800,000 yuan."
Han Kongque took a serious look at Qin Ge and his wife and said, "What do you think? You don't want one million but you want eight hundred thousand?"
"Yes, are you stupid? Since this boss is willing to take one million, it only means that this Trojan is worth so much money. If you want this boss to pay 800,000, isn't this looking down on this boss?" Luo
Yun's cousin said.
Han Kongque ignored her and looked at Luo Yun. Before Luo Yun could speak, Luo Yun's mother spoke: "Okay, you two don't cause trouble here. Qin Ge's boss Renyi, we have to
If you know what is good or bad, it is eight hundred thousand, and this price should be the true value of this pony."
"What the old lady said is great." Han Peacock said with a smile.
"Boss, I'm sorry, our cousins have to come. They have good intentions and are afraid that we will suffer a loss," Qin Ge said.
Han Kongque said: "It's okay, people share the same heart and the same reason!"
"Yes, people in today's society are so bad. We didn't expect Boss Han to be so benevolent." Cousin Luo Yun said sarcastically.
Han Peacock glanced at the couple, thank you for not talking about my employees. If you did, I would kick you out as soon as possible.
Han Kongque is really satisfied with Qin Ge and his wife now. Such an honest and loyal family is the most suitable in a company with a strict confidentiality system like his. His company needs such people.
"What major did Luo Yun graduate from?" Han Kongque asked to everyone's surprise.
"Computer science major." Luo Yun was stunned, but he quickly answered.
Han Peacock was a little disappointed. Han Guangrong also majored in computer science. This major gave Han Peacock the impression that it was useless.
Qin Ge added at this time: "My husband is an electronic engineer. He is proficient in computer programming, software and hardware maintenance, and can skillfully control various electronic equipment."
Han Kongque was stunned. This is also a computer student? This computer student seems to be a little different from Han Rongrong. Han Guangrong is more like learning how to surf the Internet, but Internet surfing still requires learning?
"Where does Luo Yun work now? Are you interested in coming to our company? Don't worry. Although our company's fixed salary is not high, the bonuses and benefits are good. If you can come to our company, as long as you are capable, you will never be disappointed by coming to us.
.”
As soon as he heard Qin Ge's introduction, Han Kongque knew that he was lacking such a talent. And an electronic engineer who could make a career in society and support his wife and children was definitely not a mediocre person.
The most important thing is that this is a recent college graduate who has just left school, which further demonstrates his extraordinary strength.
Han Peacock's thinking was so wild and unconstrained that everyone couldn't react.
On the contrary, Qin Ge had already made a guess, so he told all about his husband's abilities. Now that he saw that his guess was correct, he immediately said happily: "My husband is willing, I will let him come to work tomorrow, no, today
He can go to work."
Everyone looked at Qin Ge speechlessly, and Qin Ge was so angry that he said, "What's wrong? I don't want you to do that crappy job of yours for a long time. You get up early and stay late every day pretending to be a grandson, and your monthly salary is not stable.
It’s okay not to do that kind of work.”
Seeing Han Kongque's questioning look, Luo Yun smiled bitterly and said: "I work in a security equipment company, mainly selling and repairing security equipment, such as monitoring systems and other electronic equipment.
Salaries are paid based on performance. If you sell more, you will get a higher commission. If you sell less, you can only get a basic salary. If you cannot complete the minimum tasks within three months, you will automatically leave."
As soon as I talk about Han Peacock, I understand that when doing sales, it all depends on interpersonal relationships and face. If you have wide interpersonal relationships and good face, you will naturally be able to sell more things. If you don’t have extensive social relationships, then it depends on face and face.
It’s time to complete the task. Although the commission will be high if the sales are completed, it is too hard and tiring.
"I think it's okay. You both have jobs and a monthly salary of at least 6,000 yuan. We can save a little and spend it." Luo Yun's mother said. After all, he is her son and she doesn't want to see it.
My son works too hard.
Luo Yun's face kept changing, and finally he gritted his teeth and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Han, I don't want to come here. I can sit in an office and not be exposed to the wind and sun and break my legs. This is very comfortable, but when can I buy it for my family with a fixed salary?"
Last house? I’d better fight for it while I’m young.”
Han Kongque said with a smile: "You should also know something about our company. If you come to our company, you may have the money to buy a house as long as you go on a mission. Don't you think about it?"
"I agreed on his behalf. We don't need him to work too hard. Besides, didn't we get 800,000 yuan today? The down payment for buying a house is enough, so we don't have to work too hard in the future." Qin Ge said to Luo Yunchu.
Han Kongque really smiled this time, and he smiled happily: "Okay, you don't have to worry anymore, who is outside? Bai Xiaoyi, please ask the finance department to give Qin Ge two million, and use my personal account.
It’s like I bought her Trojan horse.”
"Okay, Qin Ge, come here and go through the formalities." Bai Xiaoyi didn't feel embarrassed at all about being caught eavesdropping. She opened the door directly and asked Qin Ge to leave.
Han Kongque's office door opened, revealing all the company employees outside: "You don't have to work?"
"Work, work, or your wages will be deducted." Bai Xiaoyi waved his hand and sent everyone away.
"Two million! Qin Ge is really rich."
"If only I could be so lucky."
"Now that I have a house, when can I buy a house in Shanghai?"
"I wonder if the boss has something wrong with his head. He actually offered 2 million when he could have bought it for 800,000 yuan."
"There must be a reason. I heard that our boss is very famous in the antique shop and is a senior appraiser. There must be a reason why he could buy the wooden horse for two million. I really want to hear it again.
.”
"Then let's go back and listen to it?"
"go back."
Han Peacock closed the door directly and shut out all the sounds. Looking at the shocked people in the room, Han Peacock said: "Since we are all a family from now on, I won't hide anything from you.
I suspect that this wooden horse is the work of Zhu Youxiao, the carpenter emperor of the Ming Dynasty. However, even if it is proved to be his work, it is just a nice gimmick and its value will not be higher. Of course, it is worth more than
Eight hundred thousand is certain.
The reason why I am offering two million now is because I have the ability to increase the value of this little wooden horse. You should also know that if this wooden horse is decomposed and made into prayer beads or a pen holder, the value will increase a bit.
But as long as the craftsmanship is good enough, it is not difficult to make a pen holder worth 300,000 yuan or a rosary worth 50,000 yuan. If you calculate it this way, the value of this little wooden horse is high.
Of course, if you have the ability to use this little wooden horse to make some large-scale carvings that modern people like, one piece may be sold for millions. This completely depends on the carver himself. Do you understand what I say?
"
"We understand how much this pony can be sold for in the future. It has nothing to do with us anymore. That's your business, boss. Now we really need money. Since the boss won't suffer a loss if he buys it for 2 million, we will settle the deal for 2 million.
.”
Luo Yun did a little calculation. If it is true as Han Kongque said, this little wooden horse can solve at least ten pen holders. With the materials emptied out of the pen holders, there is no problem at all in making twenty or thirty rosary beads. Calculating like this,
Korean Peacock will definitely make a lot of money.
Now Han Kongque has put everything on the table. It is very clear that even if Han Kongque turns this little Trojan into 100 million in the future, it will have nothing to do with the Luo Yun family, so even if they know that Han Kongque can make a profit
When you get a large sum of money, you won’t feel any discomfort.
The price of an ordinary small-leaf rosewood pen holder on the market is around 1,000, which is a relatively common price.
The price of a higher-grade small-leaf rosewood pen holder ranges from 3,000 to 10,000. Because this type of pen holder has both practicality and collection value, buyers are very happy to buy it.
The price of a higher-level small-leaf red sandalwood pen holder fluctuates between hundreds of thousands. If Han Kongque really used this little wooden horse as a pen holder, such a gold-star material would not be available for hundreds of thousands.
That's why Han Kongque is willing to take advantage of him and spend money to buy someone loyal, so that he can gain not only a talent but also a huge profit.
Since Han Peacock voluntarily spent more money, naturally everyone is happy.
Luo Yun has a good job and a huge sum of money. With this money, the conditions for coming to their home can be improved.
Han Kongque was also very happy to get this little wooden horse. When Luo Yun's family walked out of his office, he carefully identified it again and found nothing abnormal. Han Kongque sat down with satisfaction, but his
His eyes never left the little wooden horse.
Han Peacock was thinking about what to do with this little wooden horse, whether to make it into a pen holder or other wood carvings.
Although Han Kongque has not yet made up his mind, he must make the most of the materials of this little wooden horse, and strive to waste nothing and obtain maximum benefits.
While Han Kongque was constantly planning in his mind, how to cut this little wooden horse and what to do to maximize the use of materials, a crisp voice said: "How can this wooden horse be worth two million?"
"Mingyu? I'm sorry, I forgot about you." Han Kongque looked up and saw Mingyu's sparkling eyes.
Mingyu said indifferently: "If a pile of broken wood is worth two million, my painting must be more expensive. Look at it, it's beautiful."
Han Kongque said: "That is a picture of ninety-nine to relieve the cold. I think someone must have told you, right? This kind of picture of ninety-nine to relieve the cold. It turns out that some wealthy families in the north draw one every year."
"Of course I know this, but my appearance is different from other people's. You will know just by looking at it." Mingyu said confidently.
Han Kongque looked at Mingyu's painting, his expression gradually became serious.
This painting is indeed a picture of ninety-nine to relieve the cold. There are four poems on the left side, which are the same as those recited by Mingyu. This should be the second volume of "Miscellaneous Odes of Luanjing" by Yang Yunfu of the Yuan Dynasty: "Try to count the ninety-nine pictures in the window." , the remaining cold has disappeared and the warmth has returned. The plum blossoms are all dotted with no white left, and I see that today there are apricot trees."
It was just four lines of poetry, but it gave Han Peacock a different feeling.
When the author wrote this poem, he wrote it in one breath. His pen was precise and delicate, his posture was tilted to the right, and his posture was vivid and unusual.
With such a calligraphy, Han Kongque recognized at a glance that it was written by a famous calligrapher. Although he couldn't remember whose calligraphy it was at the moment, it was definitely not an unknown person.
There are only twenty-eight characters, but it gives Han Peacock the feeling of strolling in a leisurely garden. There is a transcendent and booklike atmosphere between the lines, like an elegant man strolling among the trees in Langyuan, which is thought-provoking.
In addition, the layout of this painting is reasonable, and the artist's skills can be seen just by looking at it. This made Han Kongque, who was not paying attention at first, immediately become excited.
Originally he thought it was just a picture of ninety-nine to relieve the cold. But when he saw the layout and handwriting of the picture, he began to take it seriously.
This painting is very simple. Except for the writing on the left side, the most conspicuous thing about the whole painting is the nine plum blossoms in the picture. But if you look carefully, you will see that this painting is extraordinary.
Although it is just a picture of nine plum blossoms to relieve the cold, the concept of this painting is definitely not simple. Although there are only a few strokes, there are mountains, trees and plum blossoms in this painting. It can be said that it is a Sub-standard Chinese ink landscape painting.
Although this painting looks simple, it has everything it should have. The mountains and rocks are verdant. The mountains and trees are hidden in each other, the trees are hidden in the mountains, and the mountains are hidden in the flowers. The focus of the entire flower is concentrated on the nine plum blossoms.
Although you will be attracted by the plum blossoms at first glance at this painting, the mountains above are more than just embellishments. The mountains in the painting are complex. They seem to be split with a small axe. They are majestic and steep, and the brushwork and ink are delicate and laid out. Sparse, elegant and handsome style.
This landscape painting has a rigorous layout, vigorous brushwork, neat painting techniques, and smooth lines. Apart from the mountains and trees, the most attractive thing is the nine plum blossoms.
Since the characteristic of the nine-nine cold-relieving picture is to record the weather conditions for the eighty-one days after the nine-nine, each of the nine plum blossoms on each plum blossom is different. The author of this painting, according to the different weather every day, the shades Clearly, the plum blossoms are painted vividly.
Such pictures of clothes to relieve the cold are completely out of the category of ordinary cold-repelling pictures. The most common picture of the nine-nine cold-relieving pictures is a kind of double-hook red calligraphy "The weeping willow in front of the pavilion cherishes the spring breeze". They are all in traditional Chinese characters, with nine characters each. There are ninety-nine and eighty-one strokes in total.
Starting from the winter solstice, fill in one stroke every day according to the order of strokes, and fill in a character after every ninety-nine. It is not until spring returns to the earth after ninety-nine that a picture of ninety-nine to relieve the cold is completed, which is also called "writing nine".
Generally speaking, "Song of Number Nine" should be written on one side of the nine-nine figure to relieve the cold, usually: one nine, two nine, don't take action; three nine, four nine, walk on the ice; five nine, six nine, by the river
Look at the willows; the river opens in seventy-nine, and the wild geese come in eighty-nine; and the ninety-nine plus one nine, the plowing cattle are everywhere.
This text version of the cold-relieving map is too simple and cannot record the weather conditions throughout the winter. Therefore, in addition to the text version of the nine-nine cold-relieving map, there is also a graphic representation of the nine-nine cold-relieving map.
Generally, rice paper is divided into nine equal grids, and nine circles are printed on each grid with a pen cap dipped in ink. One circle is filled in every day. The filling method is determined by the weather.
The filling rules are usually: paint on the top and paint on the bottom, paint on the sunny side, with wind and snow on the left and right. This graphic version of the Nine-Nine Cold Relief Diagram is simple and easy to implement, but it is obviously not as beautiful as the text version.
In addition, some people who are very particular will use the form of pictures to draw nine-nine pictures to relieve the cold, which is also called "painting nine".
This plum blossom picture is based on the custom of painting nine, so there are ninety-nine and eighty-one plum blossoms on it, each one is different.
According to the different weather conditions, the author follows the rule of painting the top with cloudy and the bottom with clear, and the left wind and right rain and snow. According to this rule, the shade of each plum blossom is different.
Such a carefully crafted work is of course accurate in image and unique in charm.
It is a pity that such a good painting is only a relief from the cold.
However, if it is really a painting by a famous artist, the concept of this painting, even if it is a cold relief picture, its value is immeasurable.
But now there is no inscription or mark on this painting. Without these two things to indicate the identity of the painting's author, the value of this painting is greatly reduced.
"How's it going? Is my painting valuable?" Mingyu naturally became more and more confident when she saw Han Kongque observing the painting so carefully.
Han Kongque did not hide anything. He said directly: "This painting is very good. Whether it is the plum blossoms or the mountains and trees above, they are all painted perfectly. Even the words are written in an extremely free and easy way. But
There is no payment for this painting, so there is no way to confirm its author, and if it is a painting by a famous artist, there is no way to prove it, so it cannot be sold at a high price."
"I believe you won't lie to me." Although Mingyu said it nicely, her disappointment was completely reflected on her face.
"When I said it couldn't be sold at a high price, I didn't say that this painting was not worth 100,000 yuan. This painting is worth at least 100,000 yuan. I wonder if you are willing to sell it?" After Han Kongque finished speaking, he happened to see Mingyu's surprised look.
look.
Han Kongque sighed in his heart. If he could figure out who the author was, the price of this painting could go up. But that was all Han Kongque could do, so he would pay a maximum of one hundred thousand.
The identification of a painting is much more complicated than that of porcelain, so even Han Kongque would not be able to identify whose work such a painting was for a while.
This is also an important reason why Han Peacock rarely touches calligraphy and painting on the antique street. Every line is like a mountain. If an outsider tries to challenge an expert, he will only end up with a slap in the face.
