Secretary Wang reached out to Lu Jiaxin and asked in Mandarin with a Hong Kong accent: "Hello, Miss Lu, I am Wang Yadan, Mr. Nie's chief secretary."

Lu Jiaxin stood up, shook hands with her and introduced herself: "My name is Lu Jiaxin, and my dad is Lu Hongjun, the general manager of the 49th City Department Store."

Secretary Wang didn't expect her to announce herself, but this was exactly what she wanted: "Miss Lu, I heard from Manager Chen that you have an ancient painting by a famous artist. I wonder if you can show it to me now."

It’s all about selling paintings, and buyers have to look at what’s reasonable.

Lu Jiaxin took out the painting and spread it out carefully while saying, "We asked Professor Zhang from Pengcheng to identify it. It was made by Wang Zhenpeng, the first painter in the Yuan Dynasty."

"What?"

Lu Jiaxin explained with a smile: "Boundary painting is a very distinctive category of Chinese painting. It uses a boundary ruler to guide the lines when painting, so it is called boundary painting."

The painting was spread out, and Secretary Wang saw that there was only an old man in the painting. The old man was holding a cane in his left hand and a big peach in his right hand. He was riding a long-antlered deer with a crane flying above his head.

Lu Jiaxin felt that she might not understand Chinese history, so she pointed at the old man with a white beard in the painting and said: "This is the Antarctic Immortal, the immortal in our ancient Chinese mythology. He is the longest-lived god in the world, in charge of life span and blessings. "

Wang Yadan's eyes lit up when he heard this. This fairy is in charge of longevity and longevity. He holds longevity peaches to congratulate people on their birthdays to bring longevity and blessings. Mr. Nie has a traditional mind and likes old-school things. It's my sixtieth birthday next year, so it's a perfect gift from my boss.

Lu Jiaxin saw a hint of joy flash in her eyes, although she quickly caught it.

Wang Yadan asked; "Miss Lu, I wonder how much you plan to sell this painting for?"

"One hundred thousand green coins." Lu Jiaxin said. The country is now in short supply of foreign exchange, so it is trying every means to earn foreign exchange. If the transaction is in green coins, she will get a lot of convenience when purchasing raw materials for processing later.

Manager Chen's eyes almost popped out of his head. One hundred thousand green coins, this girl really dares to make an offer! As far as he knew, the most expensive painting sold in China only cost more than 20,000 green coins.

Gu Wenfeng is very calm. Selling something is not just asking for a high price but paying him back on the spot. Think about the antique market, where things worth a thousand yuan are counter-priced to ten yuan.

Wang Yadan saw the reactions of the two people in her eyes. She smiled and said, "Miss Lu, I'm here to buy it sincerely. We can't continue the conversation with you talking like a lion."

Lu Jiaxin asked: "How much do you think is appropriate?"

Secretary Wang directly said that 10,000 green coins were one-tenth of Lu Jiaxin's price.

Lu Jiaxin said nothing and directly rolled up the painting. Ten thousand green coins, according to the current exchange rate, is only 20,000 yuan. It's a lot for ordinary people, but she won't sell it. She might as well keep the money and sell it for decades!

Manager Chen is a good person. When Secretary Wang heard the quotation, he immediately turned around and left, knowing that she still wanted to buy it. He stepped forward and took Lu Jiaxin's arm and said, "Miss Lu, what is your psychological price?"

Lu Jiaxin said: "One hundred thousand green coins is not a penny. Mr. Nie doesn't want it. I will find other buyers. I believe I can find someone who knows the goods."

It is impossible for Secretary Wang to buy it at this price. She has also learned about the consumption level in the mainland these days. One hundred thousand green coins is an astronomical sum for people here.

Manager Chen felt that Lu Jiaxin was too open-minded. After Secretary Wang left, he directly told Gu Wenfeng that he could not help him. For such a high price, Mr. Nie is clearly being slaughtered as a fat sheep. If he had known that this girl was so greedy, he would not have been the middleman.

Gu Wenfeng felt that Secretary Wang's counteroffer was too strong, but he couldn't say this to Manager Chen. After he sent the person out, he lowered his voice and said, "Brother, I'm really sorry. This child is stubborn. I will tell her a lesson."

Manager Chen knew that he was not to blame for this, but his mood was affected and his attitude was not as good as before.

After returning to the room, Gu Wenfeng said: "Jia Xin, one hundred thousand green coins are too expensive, Mr. Nie can't buy it."

Lu Jiaxin leaned on the chair and said softly: "The price of one hundred thousand green coins is high, but I am making an offer, but I can counter-offer. But if I counter-offer to ten thousand, it is obviously because I am young and don't understand the price of antiques. How to treat it? Such people cannot give in, otherwise they will have the final say on the price.”

Everything has happened, and there is no use in blaming. Gu Wenfeng said: "We have to find another buyer. Jiaxin, the Su family and his son are back from Hong Kong City. We can visit them tomorrow."

Lu Jiaxin yawned: "I'm sleepy. Let's discuss this matter tomorrow."

Secretary Wang reported the matter to Nie Zhan when he returned: "Boss, the bid is too high. If she is willing to lower the price, it is still worth winning."

Nie Zhan has been studying abroad and only came back last year. He knows very little about domestic traditional culture. But after hearing what Secretary Wang told him, he found Lu Jiaxin very interesting: "Have you heard of this Antarctic Immortal?"

Secretary Wang shook his head. Although she is from Hong Kong, she went to Britain to study in middle school and has no understanding of the traditional culture of flower growers. Before coming here, I gained a lot of knowledge, but mainly about folk customs and laws and regulations.

Nie Zhan took off his glasses and said: "This girl should have inquired about the Nie family and knew about grandpa's preferences. But the price is too high. I can get it with 50,000 green coins."

Secretary Wang thinks that 50,000 green coins is too high, and it should be 20,000 at most.

Nie Zhan smiled and said: "Fifty thousand green coins are equivalent to more than 300,000 Hong Kong dollars. If it is really the authentic work of the first artist in Yuan Dynasty painting as she said, then it is not a loss."

His friend recently collected a painting from the Qing Dynasty, which cost more than 600,000 yuan. Relatively speaking, three hundred thousand is not expensive. certainly,

Secretary Wang understood what he meant and nodded in agreement.

The next day, Lu Jiaxin was washing up when Gu Wenfeng knocked on the door and came in. He immediately closed the door after entering and said with excitement: "Manager Chen came to me just now and said that Secretary Wang wanted to talk to us again. When is the right time?"

Yesterday, Secretary Wang left without looking back. He thought the matter had gone awry, and he was still thinking about who to ask for help at night! Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse and Secretary Wang changed his attitude.

"After breakfast." Lu Jiaxin said. The world is huge, and eating is the biggest thing. It's not okay for her to talk business while hungry.

As she spoke, she picked up Pechoin from the table, twisted it open, scooped out a little and applied it on her face. She is now fifteen years old, and she is at the same age as Hua. There is no need to use cosmetics, just use some moisturizing skin care products.

Seeing her calm expression, Gu Wenfeng asked curiously: "Why are you so sure Mr. Nie will pay such a high price for our paintings?"

Lu Jiaxin looked in the mirror and found that her forehead was still a little uneven. She patted her forehead and said, "Brother Gu, one hundred thousand green coins is an astronomical sum for us. For rich people like them, it is not enough to buy a luxury item. Jewelry." Luxury cars often cost hundreds of thousands or even millions, and our paintings can appreciate in value after we buy them."
