"Director Li, this is the Director Zhang of Central American Dream Factory who I mentioned to you who wants to buy the ancient furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties in our factory.
Director Zhang, this is Director Li of our factory."
"Director Li, please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting." Zhang Junping took the initiative to extend his hands.
"Hello, Director Zhang, welcome, welcome!
I heard that Director Zhang is still a college student. He is really young and promising!" Director Li could not be described as enthusiastic, nor could he be described as cold.
This is normal, and everyone is not familiar with it. How come Director Li is also the director of a large state-owned factory?
Beijing Woodware Factory is the largest state-owned hardwood furniture factory in Beijing.
Being able to receive Zhang Junping in person is already a great honor. This is also because Master Du is a senior master in the factory and has worked hard for the factory for thirty years.
As for Zhang Junping's intention to buy Ming and Qing furniture, after all, just because he has the intention does not mean he will actually buy it. Two hundred thousand is not a small sum.
A college student can spend two hundred thousand? Can he have the courage to buy a bunch of tattered furniture?
After some polite greetings, we took our seats. Director Li arranged for someone to make tea for Zhang Junping and Master Du.
"Director Li, Master Du told me before that our factory has a batch of old furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties to be disposed of. I am very interested in old furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and now I have a topic to study. So, I plan to
Buy that batch of old furniture." We were not familiar with each other, and there was nothing to be polite about. After Zhang Junping sat down, he went straight to the point and explained his purpose.
"Director Zhang, what you said is a bit wrong. Those are not old furniture. They are cultural treasures in our country. Each piece is a precious historical relic." Director Li said seriously and sincerely.
said.
If Master Du hadn't told him that those ancient furniture from the Ming and Qing dynasties were piled up in the goods yard without anyone taking care of them, without even covering them, and were left to be weathered by wind, water, rain, or rain, Zhang Junping would have really believed what Director Li said.
After all, Director Li has a Chinese character face and looks like a very decent leader.
"Director Li is right, I made a mistake, but it is true that I plan to buy those Ming and Qing furnitures." Zhang Junping did not argue with Director Li about the presence or absence of these furniture, he admitted his mistake with a smile, and then continued the previous topic.
.
"Oh, this...this...
Alas, Master Du and I were just joking at the beginning, but I didn’t expect that Director Zhang really wanted to buy it..." Director Li hesitated, looking very embarrassed.
With a faint smile on his face, Zhang Junping picked up the teacup and tasted it slowly.
Watch quietly as Factory Director Li acts coquettishly.
If you have the ability, don't sell it.
"Ahem!" Director Li hit a soft nail and thought to himself, this young man is really difficult to deal with.
Director Li's pretentiousness not only means to show off himself, but also to take the opportunity to increase prices.
As a result, Zhang Junping was stunned and refused to answer.
Factory Manager Li is very depressed.
"However, since I have said what I said, and Factory Director Zhang has come in person, and is so sincere, we can't lose the face of the Beijing man.
If Director Zhang wants it, just take it away at the price you agreed on before!"
"Director Li is so cool. I wonder if Director Li can help me find some cars and send the furniture to me?" Director Li stopped being a monster, and Zhang Junping took the opportunity to make a request.
"this·········"
"I heard that our factory not only has hundreds of pieces of furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but also sent a lot of old furniture from the Ming, Qing and Republic of China periods to our carpentry factory when the Four Olds were destroyed..." Zhang Junping
Suddenly I mentioned other furniture from the woodworking factory.
According to some records of later generations, there are definitely more than a few hundred pieces of furniture in the woodwork factory. When the Four Olds were destroyed and homes were ransacked, many Ming and Qing furniture were burned, and more were sent to the woodwork factory. There were only two or three huanghuali and red sandalwood canopies.
There are countless crosses, tables, chairs and benches, and pieces of furniture such as brackets and legs are piled up like mountains.
Later generations do not know whether it was this factory director Li or another factory director. When they were sold, many of the furniture had rotted and only wood residue remained.
"There are some others, but the furniture has been in disrepair for a long time. When it was originally delivered, it was already damaged. Over the years, many of them are only left in pieces."
"It doesn't matter, I want the remnants too. I like to study and collect ancient Ming and Qing furniture. I also like even the remnants, just like some collectors like to collect porcelain fragments." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
.
"Okay, since Director Zhang likes it, then I don't lack the heart for adult beauty. How about we go to the goods yard and have a look. As long as Director Zhang likes it, we can discuss it." Director Li smiled enthusiastically.
Director Li began to reassess Zhang Junping in his heart, and he bought the furniture worth 200,000 yuan without changing his expression, and also bought other spare parts. Director Zhang had a lot of money.
Arriving at the goods yard of the Beijing Woodware Factory, Zhang Junping finally saw what piles of goods meant and what countless items meant.
In the huge cargo yard, ancient furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties worth hundreds of thousands, millions, and tens of millions in later generations were piled randomly in the middle of the cargo yard. Some intact furniture was not left exposed to the outside, but was covered with a piece of canvas.
Covered by raincloth.
"I want all of these, Director Li, please give me a price!" Zhang Junping pointed with his ring and said proudly.
"This..." Factory Manager Li was a little stuck when asked by Zhang Junping, not knowing how to quote.
It's not easy to meet such a wealthy customer who is not short of money. If the price is too high, I'm afraid he will run away. If the price is too low, it's better to dismantle the production plan yourself.
In the 1970s and 1980s, the Beijing Woodware Factory actually did this by dismantling ancient furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties for production.
Therefore, the abacus produced by the Old Beijing Woodware Factory on the market is very popular among collectors.
Because they are all real materials, even if you don't keep them after you buy them, you can still take them apart and cut the beads.
"Five hundred thousand, all the furniture and pieces of furniture in this yard belong to Director Zhang." Director Li gritted his teeth and stamped his feet and shouted a high price.
"Haha, Director Li, these fragments of yours only have some research value, but how can this value be so many times higher than the raw materials?
If I send people to the south to collect wood and transport a ton of Hainan rosewood to Beijing, how much do you think it will cost?" Zhang Junping asked with a smile.
"That's not how this account is calculated."
"Then how should we calculate it? I originally had a business deal that I wanted to discuss with Factory Director Li, but I don't dare to ask for the price you're asking for." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"I wonder what business Director Zhang is talking about?"
"After studying ancient furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, I naturally wanted to try to make it myself. But making it is naturally inseparable from these woods.
Therefore, I would like to entrust Director Li to help purchase a batch of wood. After all, our woodwork factory has a history of hundreds of years and should have its own channels.
The result, alas! Forget it, forget it." Zhang Junping shook his head and turned around and walked out.
