National Tide 1980

As the saying goes, people are silent when you ask them a thousand words, but goods come when you are asked to nod.

This word is actually quite appropriate to use 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 about 100.

All matters, large and small, are managed by only one director and one deputy director.

Those two people must have a lot of things to do every day. How can they meet just as soon as they meet?

It is impossible for an average 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 a face given to Kang Shude, but a face given to Shen Zhou and Shi Tao.

But this just means that if someone comes here.

This in 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 can be said to be gods.

Due to his age, he is not qualified to sit with these people who are a generation older than him. This is called ordering between elders and younger ones.

what's the result?

Director Song's first question made Ning Weimin not listen.

"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's no need to be polite, just fly over and cook the chicken.

"What do you mean? Do you think we are poor? We didn't steal or rob. It's ours."

Director Song was a little embarrassed, and 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'll make you laugh."

What can Director Song do?

He waved his hands and smiled pretending to be generous.

"Nothing, nothing. Young man."

But looking back, talking to Kang Shude seemed more polite.

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 be offended."

"The main reason is that the repair fee is just this, and we can't really reduce it for you. Our store doesn't have a rule of paying separately, which is really embarrassing."

"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, not only will you not have to spend any money, but you will also be able to go back with a lot of money. Do you think this is okay?"

The old master also helped.

"Aren't you short of money? If you don't repair it because of the price, these two things will probably be destroyed. It's a pity. If you want to give our shop the money to repair these two things, we won't have to You're out again. Killing two birds with one stone, that's great, isn't it?"

After saying that, both 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 actually persuade me to throw away my family wealth?"

Ning Weimin was also a good helper, seizing the opportunity to bang the gong.

"That's right, we came here to repair things. Why did we end up selling them because we were so anxious? Of course you two feel good about getting things. But our things are gone. What's so good about it?"

This is really too much. It is 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 and 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."

Following him, he ignored Ning Weimin and focused 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 houses. But what have happened in recent years? It used to be difficult to overcome the sea. Brilliance, for everyone. It’s a thing of the past.”

"To tell you the truth, we here now have to collect dozens of items almost every month. More than a dozen items of good stuff are almost all sent by famous people in the past."

"And the two things you brought are in the same condition. Many paintings and calligraphy are damaged, damaged, missing, rotten, and moldy. Why? Isn't it just because of the conditions in the first two years that it was difficult to preserve them? Well."

"As for these customers, many of them don't want to let go. Because almost all of them are passed down by the older generations, and they all want to remember them. This is understandable."

"But the problem is that calligraphy and painting are not porcelain or bronze and require specific preservation methods and conditions. If you don't preserve them properly, it will be even more heartbreaking to see something that is good rotting 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. On the contrary, it can properly preserve the cultural wealth left by our ancestors. Do you think this is the truth?"

"So if you are really willing to sell it, it won't be a waste of money. It's not a shame. On the contrary, it will contribute to our protection of cultural relics."

When Director Song said this, he glanced at Ning Weimin again and 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 to be different."

"Let's be honest, in fact, the situation of every family 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."

"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 turns and one ring are old almanacs in the past. 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 on hand to support the next generation?"

Ning Weimin couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

He knew that Director Song was making an insinuation and making an issue out of him.

She even hopes that he will be moved to benefit and take the initiative to help speak.

But you have to put your mind to use.

Use it on them?

Self-defeating.

On the contrary, it revealed Director Song's own urgent mood.
