"Mr. Fang, whether the Tianmao Building matter can be resolved or not is another matter. This time I come here mainly to express my apology. This is my little thought and it can also be regarded as an opening gift to Mr. Fang."
Hu Jun saw Qian Jiali's depressed expression and took over the words, while the subordinate behind him handed over an exquisite box.
Fang Ming glanced at the box in Hu Jun's hand. He believed that there was definitely good stuff inside, but he didn't intend to accept it.
Although what happened to Lin Dahai just now has changed his mentality in dealing with people, it does not mean that he does not have his own principles.
The reason why he accepted Cai Wenli's gift earlier was because he had done Cai Wenli a favor, so he felt at ease when accepting it.
"I welcome you to come and support me, but gifts are enough."
Hearing Fang Ming's refusal, although Hu Jun had a look of disappointment on his face, he did not force it, because this was what he expected. In his mind, how could a master like Fang Ming rely on just one or two gifts?
You can have a good relationship. If this is the case, then this expert will be too worthless.
"Mr. Fang is indeed an expert, but I am worldly."
Hu Jun flattered him and handed the wooden box to his subordinates to put it away, and walked in with Qian Jiali and the others.
Hu Jun is not from the antique circle, and neither is Qian Jiali, but when Qian Jiali walked in, he immediately noticed Shen Zike sitting on the chair.
"Brother Shen?"
Qian Jiali was a little surprised. He knew Shen Zike. Although they had different majors, they were both academicians. Moreover, when he had a serious illness thirty years ago, the chief surgeon who performed the surgery was Shen Zike.
"Old money?"
Shen Zike also saw Qian Jiali, and he was very surprised that Qian Jiali appeared here.
"Brother Shen, why are you here? What's your relationship with Mr. Fang?" Qian Jiali walked forward quickly. He was more than ten years younger than Shen Zike.
"Mr. Fang is a visiting professor hired by our medical school, so I naturally want to come over on this opening day."
Qian Jiali was stunned by Shen Zike's words and asked: "Mr. Fang still knows medical skills?"
"Who said that all professors in the medical school must know medical skills?" Shen Zike smiled slightly, "Our medical school will open an environmental design major next year, and Mr. Fang is the visiting professor hired by our new major."
"Environmental Design Major..."
Qian Jiali murmured, but the next moment his old eyes flashed with light. Just hearing the name of this major, he knew why the medical school wanted to hire Mr. Fang. At this moment, he also made a decision in his heart.
A decision.
Nine o'clock in the morning!
When the salute sounded, all the visitors in the store came out, and the lion dance team that had been prepared early began to dance.
The dragon and lion were dancing. Eight people carried the dragon and lion and danced in front of the store, which attracted cheers from the people around.
At this point, there are already many tourists in the antique city, and for tourists, they will not miss the lively opportunity when they travel. What's more, although there are many companies and shops open now, most of them will not
Invite a lion dance team, even if you want to make it lively, most of the time they will invite some models to come and perform a show.
After all, in this era, beauties are the most eye-catching, and beauties who wear less are even more attractive.
"Fang Ming, it's your turn."
Hua Mingming on the side reminded Fang Ming when the lion dance team was halfway through. Fang Ming nodded to express his understanding and wrapped an hydrangea on the red cloth on the plaque, and several red envelopes were placed in the hydrangea.
There are two types of lion dance teams in the north and the south. Due to the different customs in the two places, the lion dance performances of the two places are also different, but many of the performances are similar, such as eye dots and red picking.
"The lion is consecrating, please ask the two bosses to do the eye congratulations."
A steward of the lion dance team roared from the side, and then someone came forward holding a tray with two pens and a box of cinnabar on it.
"Dazhu, come together!"
Fang Ming greeted Dazhu, and after one of them picked up a brush and dipped it in cinnabar, the lion dance team members also happened to bring the lion's head over.
The so-called eye dotting is to use a cinnabar pen to add cinnabar on the eyes of the lion's head, which symbolizes giving life to the lion.
"The master's family lights up the spirit, and the lion picks red to bring wealth to the home."
After the eye-dotting process was completed, the lion dance team began to approach the store. When they arrived at the door of the store, the lion dancers in the next two sections suddenly overlapped.
"When a lion climbs a tall building, it can reach the sky by walking on the same level as the blue clouds."
There were a total of eight people in the lion dance team responsible for the lion dance. In less than three minutes, these eight people stacked up every two stacks of Arhats. At this moment, only the last two of the lion dancers were standing on the ground. The rest
All six of them had their legs sandwiched around the waist of their partner below.
This scene made the audience burst into applause. This was real skill, and it couldn't have been accomplished without more than ten years of hard training.
Especially at this moment, the lion is constantly shaking like a giant dragon out to sea. This not only places high demands on the basic skills of these lion dance members, but also requires years of cooperation and tacit understanding.
"How about it? The lion dance team I found is pretty good, isn't it? This lion dance team has been in the city for decades and is one of the best lion dance teams in the city."
Hua Mingming on the side looked like he was asking for credit, and Fang Ming gave a rare nod in agreement. This lion dance team is indeed very good. Such a team is definitely very popular in Shanghai. It took a lot of effort to recruit Hua Mingming.
"The lion picks the ball!"
The conductor on the side continued to shout, and the two men with lion heads jumped up and came to the hydrangea hanging with the red cloth covering the plaque.
He opened his mouth and bit the hydrangea in one bite, and at the same time lifted the red cloth off.
The red cloth fell, revealing the true appearance of the plaque. It was a plaque with black characters on a red background. The moment it was opened, many antique city bosses exclaimed.
"The base of the rosewood and the sea yellow edging is so luxurious."
The shop owners in these antique cities naturally have good eyesight. The moment the plaque appeared in their sight, they could see how precious the wood used in the plaque was.
The base material is small-leaf red sandalwood, and the edge of HN huanghuali is inlaid. The cost of this wood alone is tens of thousands of yuan.
However, compared to the surprise of these shop owners, Fang Ming's eyes were immediately attracted by those three words.
Witchcraft Hall!
These are three large traditional Chinese characters. Because he had learned calligraphy from his master since he was a child, Fang Ming’s first impression of these three characters was that they were written by everyone, and not just anyone.
Every word contains essence and spirit in it, especially the two words "Wood and Dao" in front of it, which express the elegant and ethereal charm.
Fang Ming's eyes fell on the seal at the bottom: Li Hong's masterpiece!
"My God, what does the material mean? Look who wrote this word. It is actually the handwriting of Master Li Hongming."
Some people also noticed the seal in the lower left corner of the plaque. When they saw the words on the seal clearly, they were much more shocked than when they saw the material of the plaque.
"It's really Master Li Hongming. He is a real master of calligraphy in modern China. His calligraphy works are all exhibited in museums."
"Master Li Hongming's works are worth a thousand dollars a word, and they are rare. I remember that Master Li Hongming stopped writing for people five years ago. How did Boss Hua do it?"
All the shop owners looked at Hua Borong with disbelief, because they did not expect that Hua Borong could ask a master like Li Hongming to inscribe. Just these three words and this engraving, this
The value is extraordinary.
"Unfortunately, I thought it was a waste of materials to use small-leaf rosewood and sea yellow to make the plaque. But if it is Master Li Hongming's calligraphy, then even the most expensive materials are not a waste."
Listening to the words of these colleagues, Hua Borong also had a look of pride on his face. Yes, he had indeed put in a lot of effort for this plaque. The wood material was easier to get, but it was difficult for Master Li Hongming to inscribe it.
It cost him a huge favor.
However, for Hua Borong, these are all worth it. Compared with the kindness his benefactor showed him, this is nothing at all.
"Uncle Hua, you are interested."
Fang Ming didn't say anything to thank him. He knew that Uncle Hua didn't want his thanks.
"This is what I can do now, Fang Ming, I wish your store business will be prosperous in the future." Hua Borong also replied seriously.
"Uncle Hua, if my store's business is too good, it will not be a good thing for the entire society."
Fang Ming's words were a pun. Hua Borong didn't react at first, but when he did, he could only smile and shake his head. Indeed, if Fang Ming's shop does too well, it will not be a good thing for the entire society.
Something happened.
This is just like hospitals and funeral homes. No one would wish the hospital a prosperous business when it opens, at least not on the surface.
After the lion dance team picked the embroidered balls, they slowly dispersed. Fang Ming looked at the crowd of onlookers and shouted: "The store is newly opened today. All items on the first floor are sold at a 30% discount. Everyone can go in and take a look."
"Uncle Hua, go in."
The opening ceremony was now over, and a group of people followed Fang Ming into the store. On the first floor of the store were the things left by Song Xiong, all of which were marked with prices.
These things naturally cannot attract the interest of the people present, and they have already come in to take a look at it before.
On the entire first floor, there was only a large object covered with red cloth in the middle. At this moment, Fang Ming walked in and directly lifted the red cloth, revealing the lineup under the red cloth.
"Hey, what kind of wood is this? Why have I never seen it before?"
"It's not wood, it should be jade."
"Old Huang, you didn't wear your reading glasses today? Aren't there lines on them? Have you ever seen jade with lines on it? It's obviously wood."
When the red cloth was lifted, a cry of exclamation came from the mouths of these shop owners.
