Chapter 632 Working for Mother 5

When Bao Zixuan walked into Yide Pavilion, he was attracted by the smell of ink in the store. You can't feel this kind of ink smell in a place with ordinary ink smell. Many people say that ink stinks, but I don’t know why. Yidege’s ink still exudes fragrance. It seems that they have indeed put great effort into the production process and materials.

Peng Yifei is also considered the number one person in Liulichang. Not only does he buy a lot of items, he also spends a lot of money. Many people know that he has purchased several shops in Liulichang. Although the location is not very good, he is still considered an insider.

Seeing that it was Mr. Peng coming, the shopkeeper hurried forward to greet him and said with a smile: "It turns out it's Mr. Peng who's here. You haven't been here for a while. I asked why there were magpies chirping in the trees this morning. It turns out it's Mr. Peng who's here." There are distinguished guests coming to our door.”

Peng Yifei understands the character of shopkeeper Xu. The more polite he is to you, the more benefits he will get from you. Peng Yifei had purchased many items at Liulichang before and was considered a popular person in various stores.

Peng Yifei: "I came here with my boss today. How have you considered what I told you last time?"

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Xu took a serious look at the young man and almost jumped up with excitement when he saw Bao Zixuan's appearance. Isn’t this the rich man from Xiangjiang who came to Kyoto to celebrate the New Year! I heard that this young man named Bao Zixuan is the richest man in Hong Kong, and he is definitely a big benefactor.

Unlike shopkeeper Li from Rongbaozhai who is so traditional, shopkeeper Xu from Yidege has a very good understanding of domestic and foreign economic forms. Shopkeeper Xu wants to make Yide Pavilion bigger, so of course he pays great attention to the circle of rich people.

But last time Peng Yifei said he wanted to buy Li Tinggui Mo from Yide Pavilion, which was a treasure that was hard to find. Although selling ink is Yidekaku's main business, antique shops in Kyoto all hope to have a treasure that is the treasure of the store, which is a symbol of inheritance. Li Tinggui can be said to be a god-like existence in the field of ink making. The ink he made has been passed down for thousands of years without any problems.

Li Tinggui, whose surname is Xi, was originally from Yishui. His father, Chao, was a famous ink maker at Yishui. To avoid the war in the late Tang Dynasty, his family moved south to this county. Because there are many ancient pine trees in this county, he resumed his ink industry. On the basis of his father's "Yishui method", Tinggui improved the glue technology and mixed it with pearls, rhinoceros horn, garcinia, croton, etc. The ink made is exquisite in shape, "light when picked up, sweet when smelled, and clear when rubbed" , it was called "Tinggui Mo" at that time. He was appreciated by Li Yu, the later master of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and was named a Mo official and given the national surname Li. Tinggui ink has been preserved for fifty or sixty years. Although "the glue has faded and the ink has withered, it is as strong as jade and its writing is as rhinoceros." There are 10 words written, and the ink consumption is less than one or two cents. The edge after ink grinding is like a knife edge and can be used to cut paper.

Li Tinggui's ink-making skills are particularly advanced. The ink "is so strong that it can cut wood". I copied one and a half parts of the "Huayan Sutra" before grinding it down to an inch. It was stored for hundreds of years and had "dragon brain energy" when polished. People in the Song Dynasty called it "the best in the world". Emperors of the Southern Tang Dynasty often used Li Jiamo to reward meritorious officials. After Song Taizu, all emperors used Tinggui ink to write edicts. Every year Huizhou pays tribute to the court of 1,000 kilograms of ink. Due to the monopoly of the rulers, it was difficult to buy the ink made by Li and his sons on the market. During the Xuanhe period, there was a strange phenomenon of "gold can be obtained, but Li's ink cannot be obtained". During the Qingli period, a piece of imperial ink was sold for 10,000 yuan.

Yidege's Tingguimo was a reward given by the court because of its founder Xie Songdai's meritorious service. It can be said that it is not only an honor, but also the inheritance and recognition of the store.

A thousand years ago, Tinggui ink could be purchased for 10,000 yuan, which shows how precious this kind of ink is. Bao Zixuan definitely doesn't want to let go of what he likes, but he also knows that the other party will definitely not sell a collection of this level easily.

Shopkeeper Xu didn't dare to drag him down, even though he was over 60 years old. But he definitely didn't dare to rely on his old age to show off his old skills, so he quickly made a hand-over-hand gesture and said: "Welcome to our store, Mr. Bao, your arrival is really refreshing."

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Xu is very polite. I came to Kyoto this time just to bring some specialties back. My mother loves calligraphy and painting, so I want to buy some pens, inks, paper and inkstones to take back. I like to go straight. I heard that your store has a Fangting. Gui Mo, I want to buy it and give it to my mother."

Shopkeeper Xu hesitated when he heard that the other party was indeed here to buy Tinggui Mo. After all, there are no more than 10 pieces of this ink in existence, and they are basically collected in major museums and have not circulated in the market. Although Yidege is famous for its ink production, it is also famous because of Tinggui ink.

The identity of the other party made shopkeeper Xu dare not refuse easily. After all, richest man Bao needs to be accompanied by big leaders wherever he goes. Although I have some connections in Kyoto, they are nothing compared to Bao Shaofou.

Shopkeeper Xu: "I don't dare to hide it from Mr. Bao. Our store does have some ink made by Li Tinggui himself. It is definitely an item that has been inherited in an orderly manner. However, it is something passed down by Master Xie, the founder of the store, and Yidege cannot sell it easily. .”

"Even if it is sold, we must obtain the consent of the Xie family. This is something that was agreed upon from the beginning."

After shopkeeper Xu explained, Bao Zixuan understood what he meant. Although shopkeeper Xu's grandfather had obtained the management rights of Yidege, the Xie family still owned a lot of shares and was considered the owner of Yidege.

Strictly speaking, this piece of Tinggui ink as a reward received by Xie Songdai was regarded as his personal belongings. It was only placed in Yide Pavilion for use as a town store. As long as the Xie family doesn't agree, the ink cannot be sold, and even shopkeeper Xu can't do anything about it.

Bao Zixuan: "So as long as the Xie family agrees to sell Tinggui Moxu, shopkeeper, they have no objection, right?"

Hearing Bao Zixuan ask this, Shopkeeper Xu knew that he was being led into a pit. If you disagree, you will definitely offend the young man in front of you. If you get the cabinet, let alone go out, it is hard to say whether you can keep the business of Huaxia Continent. But I agree, what if the Xie family wants to sell it? If they get the pavilion, they will lose the treasure of the store - Tinggui ink.

And he knew that this possibility was very high. As far as he knew, the Xie family was splitting up. Not to mention Ting Guimo, they are willing to sell Yidege shares. The prerequisite is that you can afford it, but for the young man in front of you, the most indispensable thing may be money.

Now that the situation is hard to get off, shopkeeper Xu knows that he can only let the Xie family resist. He did not dare to offend Bao Zixuan easily, so he said with a smile: "Ting Guimo is equivalent to the personal property of the Xie family, and Yi De Ge is just a loan at most. As long as their family agrees, of course I agree."

Bao Zixuan: "Then it's settled, where are the Xie family? You can't possibly not know that the Xie and Xu families are family friends!"

Since the words have been said, Shopkeeper Xu doesn't dare to hide anything.

Shopkeeper Xu: "The Xie family lives near Liulichang, but there are two families in charge of the Xie family, and they are all descendants of Master Xie Songdai. Now these two families are in the process of separating, and we must obtain the consent of both of them. After all, they are all Yidege shareholders. They all have inheritance rights, so I hope you can understand."

Bao Zixuan didn't expect that buying a piece of ink would be so complicated, but in order to satisfy his mother, he decided to do it himself.

Bao Zixuan: "Can you arrange for someone to take us there? I want to get things done as soon as possible. I have to go back to Xiangjiang the day after tomorrow, and time is a bit tight."

This is a very small thing, and of course Shopkeeper Xu will not refuse. So he asked his grandson to accompany Mr. Bao on a trip, and he seemed to be a familiar face.

Young Master Xu was a little reluctant at first, but after seeing Bao Zixuan's car, he became uneasy. This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful car. It seems that the other person is indeed a rich man in Xiangjiang as my grandfather said. Ordinary people cannot afford such a good car.

Master Xu smiled and said, "Mr. Bao, where did you buy this car? Why have I never seen it before?"

Bao Zixuan: "I have my own car factory, so the cars are all produced in the factory."

Young Master Xu was very envious when he heard this, and said with a smile: "When I get rich, I will definitely buy one."

At present, the state still has restrictions on private ownership of cars, but they can be registered under the name of a company. Yidege did have the quota to buy a car, but Mr. Xu didn't like that kind of truck at all.

When Bao Zixuan heard this, he felt it was an opportunity, so he said: "As long as you can help me get things done, I will give you a car. I will pay for the purchase of Tinggui Mo, and you can also get a car at the same time. "

"If you want a new car, it will be shipped from the United States. If you want it in stock, that's fine. This one can be given to you. It has just run less than 1,000 kilometers, and it is no different from a new car."

Young Master Xu was very excited when he heard this. If he could drive this car, it would definitely be very popular. The girl who ignored him before was eager to become the co-pilot. There is no one who doesn't like this kind of car.
