Chapter 0672 – Bronze Jade (I)
“Fourth brother, what’s wrong with your phone, it’s always not working?”
Zhuang Rui went out of the door of the courtyard, he kept on calling Ouyang Jun, only the other party’s phone has always prompted to shut down, until almost to the Panjiaoyuan, Ouyang Jun finally turned on the phone.
“Nonsense, just now in busy, can turn on the phone?”
Ouyang Jun did not have a good mood back, he is not pretending in front of Zhuang Rui, a sentence reveals what he was doing just now.
“Hey, I said your sister-in-law also just called, I said in Xiaobai here, she hung up, what’s going on? You kid didn’t say anything, right?”
Ouyang Jun this heart is puzzled, usually say they are here in Xiaobai, daughter-in-law quasi no good tone, just now actually slow and fine-tongued to let themselves help Zhuang Rui to do things well, that is to say, since I came to this is to do things is not false, but to do is the kind of “things” ah!
“What? You’re really in Brother Bai’s place?”
Zhuang Rui heard speechless, then said: “I give sister-in-law said, you go to the white brother that help me to get antiques to go, well, you look at it! Fourth brother, if I don’t get a few pieces of antiques back, I won’t care about your shit next time!”
“Okay, it’s not just to take some broken antiques, I’ll bring you back a few pieces.”
Ouyang Jun impatiently returned a sentence, then hung up the phone, Bai Feng these days looking for him to take over some real estate company work, to point something is not simple? However, Ouyang Jun will not directly open his mouth to ask for, wait for Zhuang Rui museum to open up, let Bai Feng donate himself.
Zhuang Rui shook his head, parked the car in the lot, got off and walked toward his store.
This is already in the afternoon, but Panjiayuan bustling crowd, still do not see the slightest decrease, this is just like a scenic line in Beijing, people come here not only to Taobao, but also to feel a strong cultural atmosphere here.
Squeezed half a day along the wall, Zhuang Rui is considered to come to the “Xuan Rui Zhai” he did this boss is estimated to be Panjiayuan’s only one, often hanging out in the Panjiayuan people, it is estimated that there are not a few people to recognize him.
“Brother Zhuang, you came!”
Monkey eyes sharp, a glance to see Zhuang Rui, quickly welcomed out, Daxiong is a lot of stability, nodded to Zhuang Rui, people are not over, still in the greeting to buy things guests.
As for Zhao Hanxuan, this is not in the store, as long as the master Ge in the corner of the engraved seal busy, the other two clerks are also entertaining guests.
“Monkey, I let you run more long insights, not let you to the store to pull the object, do not know the bronze is the national control trade?”
Zhuang Rui entered the door and glared at the monkey, but all business, always reluctant to deal with trouble, if those bronzes are really the national level of cultural relics, if you buy them, sentenced to three or five years are light.
Although many private collections in the country, there is no lack of some bronze fine art, but that is a private transaction, who has seen in the domestic auction, once shot belonging to the first-class cultural relics of the bronze?
In the Han before the grading of bronzes, most of them will be graded as a national cultural relics, which is strictly prohibited private trading, if you do not want to surrender to the state, you can only stay at home as a family heirloom, and now the cultural relics market, has not been open to the sale of bronzes.
And according to national regulations, no matter how many levels of cultural relics you belong to the bronze, just unearthed objects, is also strictly prohibited trading, a little careless, may be in trouble.
Zhuang Rui know such a thing, once there is a Hebei side of the collectors, with a few pieces of bronze fragments, to Beijing to participate in a bronze object restoration course, during the class, he brought his own fragments to repair out.
However, when going back, this is considered bad luck, under the train, routine checks to pull out, and he could not say that this thing’s legal origin, very wrongfully detained for fifteen days.
Zhuang Rui is not unable to buy bronze, but absolutely can not buy in this store, because that thing if it is true, the designated way is not very legitimate, may be just “unearthed”, in case of anything later, will certainly be pursued.
“Zhuang brother, I …… I this is not brought to you to see well, true or false still do not know it!”
Originally full of excitement monkey, heard Zhuang Rui’s words, suddenly dumbfounded, period Ai can not say, he had thought to help Zhuang Rui to get something good, did not think that this horse’s ass is shot to the horse’s foot.
Monkey and Daxiong are from the wild, in the antique market in Pengcheng, is to cheat to eat, naturally did not put the national laws and so on in the eyes.
Other not to mention, these two brothers in Pengcheng, when they once carried a shovel ready to go digging Han tombs, if it is not too low-tech, busy a few days net is to help farmers loosen the soil, maybe this will be inside the prison with it!
To Panjiayuan here, Daxiong okay, busy all day with Zhao Hanxuan to learn the knowledge of stationery supplies, and the monkey on the spread of joy, every day in those old oil inside the mix, become more slippery.
But fortunately, the monkey heart there are still people in awe, at the moment see Zhuang Rui a taut face, immediately become honest.
“Monkey, I let you go outside to find those stalls chatting, not let you to the store to attract people, some things are private to private transactions, put into the open, that is to find trouble, understand?”
Zhuang Rui sighed, this monkey looks shrewd, but the brain is still a little confused, so Zhuang Rui and mention him a few words.
Let the monkey go out to learn the way, is to prevent themselves and Zhao Hanxuan are not in the time, the store can be someone to see through some of the bureau, not to be “set up”.
Of course, there are good things can be received, but absolutely can not be involved in the “Xuan Rui Zhai” Zhuang Rui asked himself is a serious and innocent businessman.
“Brother Zhuang, I understand, in the future there is this again, I directly call you.”
Zhuang Rui has said so understand, if the monkey is not clear, then you can buy a block of tofu to die.
“Well, turn around and make an appointment at the teahouse outside to check things out! You go and book a private room.”
Zhuang Rui nodded, did not say anything more, since he came, that naturally want to look at things, not the right way at most they do not accept, look at the object and not a crime.
“Hey, Brother Zhuang, I’ll go do it here.”
Monkey promised, took the cell phone out of the “Xuan Rui Zhai” to call.
“Master Ge, how is it, are you still used to it here?”
Just now when Zhuang Rui entered the store, Master Ge had been busy, he didn’t bother, now he saw Master Ge put down the carving knife in his hand, and hurriedly went up to say hello.
Master Ge took off his presbyopic glasses and replied with a smile, “Habit, habit, Xiao Zhuang, it’s been a few days since I’ve seen you!”
Ge master used to be in the street stall engraving seal, is the kind of pure craftsman, the wind and sun is inevitable, now sitting in the store, heating and air conditioning everything, and before that is incomparable.
“Go abroad for a few days, master Ge, business is still good, right?”
If an outsider were to listen to the conversation between the two, he would think that Master Ge is the owner of the store, is there such a boss? His own business, to ask how the part-time workers.
“OK, why not, Xiao Zhuang, I took this amount last month.”
Ge master knows Zhuang Rui simply ask the store things, how much money he took last month, Zhuang Rui really do not see know, stretch out a palm, thumb and forefinger open, in front of Zhuang Rui shook.
“Eighty thousand?”
Zhuang Rui was really taken aback, he was given to set each word Ge master commission three hundred, this fifty thousand dollars, that is nearly 300 words, according to a chapter of three words to calculate, that is, there are more than a hundred people, chose to let the Ge master manually engraved seal.
“Well, this is still too busy for its own good, now there are more than two hundred people on hand to carve the seal, it is estimated that the carving will be done next month.”
Master Ge’s face was full of smiles, to have this kind of income by engraving seals was something he had never dreamed of before.
“That’s a good thing! Haha, Master Ge, now you know that a word of five hundred is not much, right? What we earn is craft money.”
Zhuang Rui smiled at his words, his heart couldn’t help but feel a little self-satisfied, it seems that his original decision wasn’t wrong, just this gimmick of hand-carved medallions by a famous artist can bring 50,000 to 60,000 dollars of income to the store every month.
“Xiao Zhuang, I think this commission is a bit too high, look, or the store will take three hundred, I’ll take two hundred!”
After Master Ge heard Zhuang Rui’s words, he hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and said what he had been thinking for a long time.
Although this person does not dislike their own earn more, but Ge master from the previous month only unemployed state, suddenly monthly income of nearly 100,000, the difference is a little too big point, the heart is inevitably some uneasiness.
Coupled with the fact that Master Ge also knows that he earns more than Zhuang Rui, that is to say, the fellow than the boss is still making money, which makes his heart also a little apprehensive.
Zhuang Rui smiled and waved his hand, said: “Master Ge, this should not be said later, you still take three hundred, rely on the craft to eat, heaven and earth, said the store also dipped your light ah!”
“Master Ge, I said he won’t agree! You old man just feel free to do it!”
Zhuang Rui’s words did not fall, Zhao Hanxuan walked into the store, master Ge said to him a few times to reduce the commission of things, Zhao Hanxuan did not agree, for one thing, this is Zhuang Rui set down, he has no right to change, and secondly, in Zhao Hanxuan’s opinion, Zhuang Rui is not bad for a few dollars.
And Ge master of this craft, indeed is to “Xuan Rui Zhai” has brought a lot of business, a lot of people attached to elegance, after the carving here, to write their own painting paper and pen, also by hand in the “Xuan Rui Zhai” to buy, this more than a month, the shop sales of literary and literary treasures. The store’s sales of literary treasures, but increased a lot.
