Chapter 21: Grand Opening

When Chang Xian entered the study room, a look of excitement appeared on his face.

Put everything else aside and carefully open Pu Ru's calligraphy scroll. Skip the main text and read the inscriptions and postscripts at the end first.

"In the autumn of Renxu, in August, I returned to the capital from Qingdao and lived in the ravines of the Western Mountains. I was in the abbot of Jietai. I loved the mist and the elk. I sometimes entertained myself with calligraphy and painting in my spare time. I studied a lot. The two

When he was three years old, he consciously entered the country. Between the evening drums and morning bells, under the slanting light of the pines and the wind, he wrote five volumes of scriptures, but this volume can be called proud. At the end of the year of Jiazi, he moved to Cuijin Garden and reviewed this volume with all his Taoist friends.

, everyone praised it as "Jue", which added a third of beauty to the old plum trees in the garden. Although I didn't dare to be worthy of it, I still smiled and twisted my beard. Puru, December 8th. "

"In Renxu year 1922 and Jiazi year 1924, Puru lived in seclusion in Jietai Temple in Xishan for three years, and his art made great progress.

At this time, Qi Gong was still young, only twelve years old, and it is said that Qi Gong's calligraphy was poor when he was young, and he only became more talented when he was older. Therefore, Qi Gong's inscriptions and postscripts were written twice on this calligraphy, and he wrote it the first time.

The second time was when I re-read the volume thirty years later, recalling the elegant gathering and re-inscribing the postscript. The close relationship between Pu Ru and Qi Gong can be understood..."

"Guan Jisheng, Guan Zhiyun, Ye Yangxi, Pu Yi Zhai, Pu Xuezhai, Chen Renxian, Zhang Yishan, Shen Genmei..., there are a total of twelve famous writers who wrote inscriptions..."

Chang Xian thought about the grand gathering that year, where famous people gathered and water flowed to drink wine. The value of this long scroll must be far higher than ordinary works.

"I didn't expect Pu Erye's amazing assist for the first time. Man, this is about to take off!"

The future boss Chang Da grinned and rubbed his hands, and took an account book from the bookshelf. The total income was:

Mou Duanming's office, Yuan Ke's calligraphy banner, 5,000 yuan;

From Jiang Shaoqing, the Fu Lu Shou mutton fat jade tablet was worth 250,000 yuan;

Jiang Shaoqing's office, Longquan kiln hat cylinder, worth 30,000 yuan;

Scattered shots, three pieces, made fifty-five thousand;

At the place of Huang Zheng (big head), the small plate of Yuyan Shanfang is worth 30,000 yuan;

At Zheng Mang's place, Yan Fu's Buddhist noodle stick made thirty thousand.

total expenses:

Mou Duanming paid the tuition fee of 5,000 yuan;

Table lamp, five hundred pieces;

One long scroll of Puru's calligraphy, one of Doufang's landscape paintings, one hundred thousand.

All in all, Boss Chang's investment-output ratio this time was impressive, with a profit of more than 280,000 yuan, which was comparable to his total assets in Xingchen Company for two or three years.

Oh! Chang Xian patted his forehead and took out another account book, which was his balance sheet. He recorded it in a formal manner:

Puru's Calligraphy Volume 1;

Puru's landscape fighting method is the best;

Desk lamp? How do you remember this desk lamp?

Chang Xian never took it seriously as to what this thing was, but the immortal's guidance must be reasonable. Boss Chang decided to investigate it carefully before remembering it.

He went to the kitchen to get a pair of scissors, and carefully opened the cardboard box to reveal the desk lamp inside. The desk lamp was covered with dust and looked very shabby.

The study was quiet. As soon as I started to use it, Chang Xian found that the desk lamp was heavier than ordinary ones. The metal parts were rusty, the lampshade was somewhat damaged, and there were still spider webs in the mouth of the bulb. I don’t know how long it had been left in the corner by the owner.

Well, in the eyes of ordinary people anyway, this is worthless junk.

For such a useless thing, the old fox was still able to seize the opportunity and take a bite out of something a little bit wrong. He was really talented. Chang Xianyou still remembered last night's "banging on the hammer".

He found water, a sponge, a brush and a paper towel, and began to gently wipe the lamp.

The base of the desk lamp is very large, like a vase. It is not made of common bronze or brass, but should be made of tortoiseshell.

The entire lamp body looks dark green, but after wiping it carefully, you will find that there is still some purple-red luster on the lamp body and lampshade.

There are several very obvious cracks on the lampshade, but the condition is still intact. After turning the lamp holder over and cleaning it carefully, Chang Xian saw a few flowery fonts in English under the patina: tiffany1907.

And inside the lampshade, in a very inconspicuous place on the inside of the lampshade, I found a line of very small writing: "fort-tiffany!"

Chang Xian felt his heart skip a beat, as if he had really found a treasure this time. Brother Xianren was indeed reliable. This was actually a Tiffany lamp!

It’s also a signature Tiffany table lamp!

Of course Tiffany Changxian has heard of it. It seems to be a giant in the jewelry industry in China.

But when did they start playing with small household appliances?

I have never heard of the signer. I have so many famous people in China and I still can’t remember them all. Who has the patience to remember what this foreign devil does?

However, celebrities have always existed at home and abroad. As long as the gadgets are related to celebrities, the prices will continue to rise.

It's the same footbath. Can the old man washing his feet in the field be the same as Concubine Yang?

They are both inkstones. Can the inkstone used by a sour scholar from a village to write letters home be the same as the inkstone used by Su Dongpo when he wrote poems about Red Cliff?

Chang Xian turned on the computer. Since search engines like Baidu were introduced two years ago, within ten minutes, the foreign devil's heel appeared.

“This person is truly the most artistically gifted among entrepreneurs, the best at business management among artists, and a compound talent!”

Chang Xian looked at the collected information and took a sip of Yahuazi.

Fort-Tiffany, as he is famous, is the son of Chas Tiffany, the founder of Tiffany & Co., and is also the second generation head of Tiffany & Co.

This rich second generation is not only a successful entrepreneur, but also a top design master. Back then, he personally designed and produced many stained glass, vases and table lamps.

At that time, women in ugly countries all hoped to get Tiffany jewelry, while men even hoped to get a Tiffany table lamp.

There are very few works designed and produced by Tiffany himself. At that time, many people were even willing to spend a lot of money for Tiffany's works. Now, his authentic works are even harder to find!

Many collectors in Chou country specialize in collecting the glass bricks, lamps and vases he designed and made. Now, even an ordinary glass brick of his works starts at US$100,000!

In Chang Xian's heart, ten thousand divine beasts roared past.

A glass brick ~ starting at $100,000?

A glass brick ~ starting at $100,000?

A glass brick ~ starting at $100,000?

That lamp cover?
Chapter completed!
