Chapter 67 Fragile capital chain
Tang Feng's judgment is not unreasonable. So far, the progress of this Tianhuangshi has not been unfolded at all. The old man has just drew many thin lines of different colors on the black stone of this Tianhuangshi. Apart from the few grooves that have been opened, he has never touched a knife at all.
Although the disappointment in Tang Feng's eyes flashed, Fan Chengru still saw it. He smiled and asked Tang Feng, "Xiao Tang, are you in a hurry to see the finished product?"
"No, no." Tang Feng was anxious, but he couldn't show it at this time. He had to say against his will: "I'm not in a hurry, you always take your time."
Fan Chengru said confidently: "Don't worry, within three days, I will definitely let you see a Tianhuangshi carving worth 7 million yuan."
Tang Feng scratched his head and said in disbelief: "It's impossible to be so fast, right?"
Fan Chengru said: "No wonder you don't believe it. It's like a mountain. After all, you are not carving."
Tang Feng put Tian Huangshi back to the desk and asked, "Is there anything else to pay attention to?"
"I'll give you an example." Fan Chengru said: "Will the calligrapher hover on the paper before he lifted his brush and dipped it ink and started writing for a long time?"
People who play calligraphy have this habit. Some people spend more time than writing. Long hovering means being ready to go. Once they start writing, they will be like a storm. Tang Feng suddenly understood a little. Although carvings cannot be done in one go like calligraphy, they can also get a knife after the conception is mature. The old man is ready to go now. Thinking of this, the big stone pressing on Tang Feng's heart finally put it down, and he said, "I understand what you mean."
"Well, I'm a young man, with a flexible mind, and a little bit of it." Fan Chengru said: "To be honest, I was about to take the knife when you came."
Tang Feng said: "Old Fan, I'm so sorry, I'm disturbing your creative inspiration."
Fan Chengru laughed and said, "It might be a good thing. You are a young man who uses spiritual energy. It is no accident that you can get this Tianhuang stone. If I saw this stone in the trading market, I might not be able to buy it."
"You are always modest." After receiving the good news, Tang Feng did not dare to delay the old man's time. He chatted with Fan Chengru for a few words and then said goodbye and left.
In the afternoon, Tang Feng went to the industrial and commercial taxation again, probably infected by the military parade for the 60th anniversary of the National Day. The services of the comrades in these departments were very humane. They accepted Tang Feng's application for "China Stone" as the trademark name. However, the hope for the successful application is still slim. According to their statement, the word "China" is not the main reason. Another reason is that the trademark name of China Stone is too close to Sinopec and Sinopec, which is not conducive to the protection of well-known trademarks. For this reason that is far apart from 100,000 miles apart and is completely inconsistent, Tang Feng could only shake his head and smile bitterly. These two old companies that have raised prices are not worthy of the word China at all.
The next afternoon, the General Manager's Office of Zhuji Auction House
Zhu Biwei heard Liu Yue humming songs while still in the corridor. She walked into the office and looked at Liu Yue strangely for a while, and said, "Xiaoyue, you have been a bit abnormal these two days. You usually ask you to come to the company to help. You always push yourself to the three and four. Even if you barely come, you are listless. But why are you running here every day these two days?"
"Mom!" The daughter in front of her mother always doesn't grow up. Liu Yue pouted and said in a long voice: "I'm not married yet, do you want me?"
Zhu Biwei smiled and looked at her beloved daughter and said, "You have been in an outrageous mood these two days. What are you happy about? Well, let mom guess if she is in love? Tell me, let mom check you."
"After talking for a long time, are you still looking forward to my marriage?" Liu Yue stuck out her tongue and said, "No, I'll just stay by my mother's side."
At this time, the phone rang, Zhu Biwei pressed the answer button, and the receptionist sounded from the front desk: Mr. Zhu, Mr. Tang is here.
After a while, Tang Feng walked into the office. He smiled and said, "Hello, you two." Then, he took out the green plum pen from his backpack and washed it on Zhu Biwei's desk. Zhu Biwei picked up the pen and washed it. After looking for a while, he found the repair traces of the foot bump at the bottom. She said to Tang Feng: "If Mr. Tang had not stated in advance that this pen washing needs repair, I might have had a look."
Liu Yue stood up and came to Zhu Biwei and said, "Show me."
Zhu Biwei washed the pen and put it back on her desk, and asked Tang Feng: "Which cultural relics unit has Mr. Tang entrusted to repair it?"
"Oh, it was introduced by a friend." Tang Feng didn't want Zhu Biwei to know that it was repaired by herself, so he said casually.
After seeing the brush and washing it, Liu Yue nodded and said affirmatively: "No need to ask, it must be a museum-level restoration."
Zhu Biwei invited Tang Feng to the other end of the desk and sat down. Liu Yue poured him a cup of tea. Zhu Biwei turned the LCD monitor to Tang Feng and said, "As we expected, the six treasures of study caused a sensation in the entire market as soon as they appeared."
On the LCD screen, it is the official web page of Zhuji Auction House. Because the carving of Tianhuangshi has not been completed, their main advertising is very strategic. The four treasures of the best study + national treasure-level Longquan kiln plum green brush washing + mysterious old kiln Tianhuang paperweight. Click the title, which is a detailed introduction to these five items, and of course they are all praises.
Tang Feng asked Zhu Biwei: "There are only three days before auction day. Is there not enough time for publicity and hype?"
Zhu Biwei shook her head and said, "This study six treasures are different from the tablet you entrusted to us last time, and it does not require long-term publicity."
Zhu Biwei's analysis makes sense. Auctions with a reserve price of more than 10 million are bulk auctions. Each auction house has its own large customers. When encountering bulk auctions, they will notify these customers one by one. Because ivory tablets are unpopular collectibles, they need to be hyped and promoted to attract target customers; but the stationery utensils are different. It is a mainstream collection in China, and it is more important. Collectors who know how to use piano, chess, calligraphy and painting often come from the upper class. They are rich and tasteful. Dong Minquan is a good example. The purchasing power of these people is not comparable to those big names in the drama industry, and they are not on the same level at all. The female stars in the entertainment industry have married into wealthy families. This is a proof.
Zhu Biwei's only worry was Fang Tian Huangshi. She said to Tang Feng: "Mr. Tang, your Fang Tian Huangshi will be as soon as possible."
Tang Feng said affirmatively: "No problem, it can be completed in three days." A respected sculptor like Fan Chengru will not talk nonsense. Tang Feng has no doubt about this. What he is most worried about now is the money problem. Tang Feng has never solved this problem from being poor to being worth tens of millions. His capital chain has become vulnerable. Now he not only needs to succeed in the auction, but also needs to get a high price, with a transaction price of less than 30 million. Everything is just empty talk. After all, he is also facing a 10% commission fee. The copper Buddha statue is also one of the key points. In addition to replenishing possible funding vacancy, it also has to bear the cost of decoration.
