Chapter 55 Initiative
As the saying goes, when you ask people, you will say nothing, but when you ask people, goods will come.
It is actually quite appropriate to use this word here.
Like Rong Baozhai, with such a great reputation and such a large store, it still operates across industries.
The total number of people in each department is less than 100.
All matters, large and small, are managed by only one director and one deputy director.
Those two people must be busy with everything, how can they meet just as soon as they meet?
It is impossible for an averagely famous painter to receive such treatment when he comes here.
So if the leader of Rong Baozhai can come over personally to solve the problem.
This is definitely not giving face to Kang Shude, but giving face to Shen Zhou and Shi Tao.
But this just means that if someone comes here.
This itself represents a kind of emphasis on these two calligraphy and paintings, revealing a prerequisite expectation.
This means that Kang Shude and the others have quietly changed from passive to active.
The person who came here with the old master today claimed to be the deputy director of Rong Baozhai. He was in his forties and his surname was Song.
After arriving, he briefly introduced himself and then just went to look at things.
After seeing the things, he changed from the cold and serious attitude when he came in, and became enthusiastic and talkative.
He asked the old master to pull out some stools and pull them so that Kang Shude could sit down and talk.
This is obviously another good sign.
Besides, the old man had been standing for a long time, and he was eager to rest his legs, so he sat down without any hesitation.
It’s just that there is no seat for Ning Weimin, which makes this kid very greedy.
But there is no way, these days there are no customers who are said to be gods.
Based on his age, he is not qualified to sit with these people who are a generation older than him. This is called order of seniority.
What was the result?
Ning Weimin refused to listen to Director Song's first question.
“Let me ask you something, are these two calligraphy and paintings your own?”
This kid was feeling awkward because he didn't have a seat.
Of course there is no need to be polite, just fly over and cook the chicken.
"What do you mean? Do you think we are poor? We did not steal or rob, these are our own things."
Director Song was a little embarrassed. Embarrassed, only then did his eyes notice Ning Weimin.
For this reason, Kang Shude had to pretend to be angry and glared at Ning Weimin.
"No rules."
Then he turned around and apologized to Director Song.
"This is my nephew. I want to make you laugh."
What can Director Song do?
Waving his hands, he pretended to be generous and smiled.
"Nothing, nothing. You're a young man."
But looking back, he seemed more polite when talking to Kang Shude.
It can be seen that Ning Weimin's "recklessness" also has a positive effect.
"Old sir, that's not what I meant. Please don't take offense." "The main reason is that the repair fee is just this, and we can't really reduce it for you. Our store doesn't pay it separately. The rules of money are really difficult.”
"But if this painting is your own, I have an alternative. I just want to give you a suggestion. I hope you can give us these two paintings."
"If you are willing, If you do, you not only don’t have to spend money, but you can also go back with a lot of money. Do you think this is okay?”
The old master also helped.
“Aren’t you tight on money? If you don’t repair it because of the price, these two things will most likely be ruined. It’s a pity. You have to give us these two things in the store. You don’t have to pay for the repair. It’s great to kill two birds with one stone, isn’t it?”
After that, the two of them stared at Kang Shude.
Unexpectedly, Kang Shude was almost indifferent.
After a long while, he said calmly, "I came here to save these two things. How come you two are trying to persuade me to throw away my family wealth?"
Ning Weimin He is also a good helper, seizing the opportunity to bang the edge of the gong.
"That's right, we came here to repair things. Why did we sell it after being so anxious? Of course you two feel good when you get something. But our things are gone, so what's the matter? Okay?”
This is too much. It’s easy to say but not nice to hear.
The old master blushed on the spot and hesitated.
Director Song was able to cope with it, so he quickly reconciled.
"Don't say that, don't say that. Look, you have misunderstood again, haven't you? We really have good intentions and are trying to find the best solution to the problem we are encountering."
< br>Follow him and ignore Ning Weimin and focus on Kang Shude.
"I can see, old gentleman, you are not an ordinary person, otherwise you would not have these two things, let alone want to repair them."
"But I have something you don't want to hear. In our capital city, there are many famous mansions and mansions. But what have happened in recent years? It used to be difficult to overcome the vast sea. Brilliance is for everyone. It’s a thing of the past.”
“To tell you the truth, here we have to collect dozens or dozens of good things almost every month, and almost all of them are from the past. "They were sent by a well-known family."
"And the conditions of these two things are similar to those you brought. Many of the paintings and calligraphy are damaged, damaged, missing, and decayed." It’s moldy. Why? It’s just because of the situation in the first two years.”
“As for these customers, many of them didn’t want to let go because they were mostly passed down by the older generation. It’s understandable that they all want to keep it in mind.”
“But the problem is that calligraphy and painting are not porcelain or bronze and require specific preservation methods and conditions. , it will be even more heartbreaking if it rots day by day in your own hands.”
"If you understand calligraphy and painting and love calligraphy and painting, you should understand. Rather than doing this, it is better to sell it to us, which will properly preserve the cultural wealth left by our ancestors. Do you think this is true?"
< br>"So if you are really willing to sell it, it won't be about jeopardizing your family wealth. This is not shameful, but it will actually contribute to our protection of cultural relics."
After Director Song said this, he looked at it again Looking at Ning Weimin, he deliberately added a few more words.
"Old sir, this is just one aspect. The current market for calligraphy and painting is actually good, much better than in the past few years. You want to use the money from selling paintings to improve your living conditions. It's a good thing if it's different."
“Let’s be honest, in fact, everyone’s situation is similar now, and no one is much better than the other. The most practical problems are that one is not rich, and the other is that we have to plan for the children at home.”< br>
"Just like your nephew, he will reach the age of starting a family and starting a business in a few years. The problem is that this young man now has to get married and work, and his financial requirements are not small."
"Three Changes in the Past It’s old time. Now we all need TVs and tape recorders. Even if you don’t think about yourself, wouldn’t it be a good thing if you have more money to support the next generation?”
Ning Weimin listened. It's funny.
He knew that Director Song was making an insinuation and making an issue out of him.
I even hope that he will be moved by benefit and take the initiative to help speak.
But you have to put your mind to use.
Use it at them?
Self-defeating.
On the contrary, it revealed Director Song's own urgent mood.
