The old Chinese doctor in the courtyard

Chapter 223 Crafts
The Du family siblings went home in the evening and recounted their experiences in the afternoon. Just as Li Shengli predicted, the Du family's mother became furious and wanted to regret their marriage.

The Du family's father said, "The beating was good, but I think it was too light." The disputes in the family calmed down.

After listening to what the siblings said and what Li Shengli said about the handicrafts with tickets and receipts, Father Du raised his eyebrows.

"Dujuan, that gentleman you mentioned is very good!
Taking a long-term view, it is extraordinary for a young Chinese medicine practitioner to have such a vision.

Du Peng, next you have to study more with your brother-in-law. He is more suitable for this era than us.

Be prepared. You will be transferred to the steel rolling mill after the year. I think the technical position is not suitable for you, so I arranged your position in the security department.

The head of the security section still needs to have some real talent and practical knowledge. The head of the security section of the newspaper office can teach you. Study hard.

Let's spend all the thousands of dollars we have at home. It's useless for us to go out and pick up ten large yellow croakers from others. There must be something to show for it.

It is enough to leave a few hundred yuan at home for daily needs. "

Father Du's attention to Li Shengli made several people in the Du family look askance. This was already a high praise.

Some of his subordinates have never received such support.

The Du family is very lively, but what Du Peng did before was completely prohibited by Father Du.

It's okay to be lively, but the bottom line is not to be corrupt and bend the law, although some of Li Shengli's roots are not very clean.

But there is no evidence. Many things, such as the fact that the gold bars came from a spy case, are just Du’s speculations after seeing the gold bars.

Not ten large yellow croakers were seen. Even if capable personnel were sent to investigate, they would not be able to find them.

The Du family was suppressed by Father Du, but Li Shengli, who was in the valley, had some insomnia at night.

It’s not because of the Du family. If you regard the Du family, the Ding family, the Wang family, and the Xie family as ordinary people, they are similar to the residents in the courtyard. The courtyard is for life, while the Du family is for profit. Earn your life.

As long as the benefits are enough, that's all. In Li Shengli's view, there is no difference between the Du family and the third uncle's family opposite the Li family. They stay aloof and don't cause trouble. That's what the book says.

Just like Sister Feng, facing her daughter's emergency illness and worrying about gains and losses is a true reflection of this type of family.

He is not worried about the Du family, but what he is worried about is the action of buying up the family assets tomorrow.

He didn't know much about famous modern artists. Tomorrow he was going to go shopping for paintings by famous modern artists. He didn't know much about them, but it made him worried.

Some people are famous now, but their paintings will not increase enough in the future. If all they meet are people they don't know, it won't be interesting.

After thinking about it, I just tried to follow the example of the ten great masters of modern times. It was nothing more than using connections and paths, and it didn’t go to that place.

With Father Du saying hello, not to mention places like the Friendship Store and the Foreign Guest Service Department, there is no problem in walking sideways to the cultural relics store, painting store, and handicraft store.

Early the next morning, after finishing morning exercises with Mr. Liu, Li Shengli chatted with the old man about insect-proofing and moisture-proofing of calligraphy and painting.

Li Shengli also put a lot of herbs and camphor in the medical books passed down by the Liu family and those in the Jiandao warehouse, but when it came to calligraphy and painting, he was a little more particular.

But the medicinal materials are just the same, including rue, realgar, alum, and alumen. Mr. Liu also gave a prescription based on rue.

After having breakfast with the Zhao family, before Wali could start work, a jeep sent by the Du family appeared in front of Li Shengli.

The earlier the Du siblings came, the more attention they paid to Father Du. Li Shengli smiled brightly when he saw Du Jiaoyang biting his lip and getting out of the car.

"The beating yesterday was in vain, right?

Get in the car and let’s go to Madianji first. "

After teasing Du Jiaoyang, who looked indignant, Li Shengli stroked his clothes and was about to get in the car.

"Don't worry, my dad made you a general suit last night, would you like to try it?"

After swallowing his anger, Du Jiaoyang tried his best to use a gentle tone and motioned Li Shengli to look at the contents of the jeep.

"No need, I'm also very particular about my clothes. I'll go to the old village department to unload the truck first."

I unloaded the car at the old village headquarters and went to Madianji to pick up Xiao Hu. Du Jiaoyang, who was sitting next to Li Shengli in the car, gave him a military shoulder bag.

"My father's family fortune, he said, is three points. We will get two shares, and Du Peng will get one share."

Because there was a driver around, Li Shengli did not open his military shoulder bag, but squeezed it with his hands. There was a lot of money, it should be more than [-].

"Have eyes!

First go to Banqiao Hutong, then go to Donghuamen Trust Store, and then find a handicraft store. "

Not familiar with the driver, Li Shengli didn't make any arrangements, but told Du Jiaoyang the itinerary.

In Banqiao Hutong, he picked up 3000 yuan and three large yellow croakers. Thinking that he still had two pieces of gold hidden at home, Li Shengli teased Du Jiaoyang.

"Sister Du, will you follow me home to meet your parents-in-law?"

After glaring at Li Shengli, Du Jiaoyang said with shyness on his face:
"Lao Li, I'm a little embarrassed, please let me take a moment.

How about celebrating the New Year? "

Regarding the marriage certificate in Li Shengli's pocket, Du Jiaoyang still felt like he was playing house.

After being whipped a few times yesterday, she was able to face the reality. When she really had to face the reality, the female bastard was still very unwilling.

Thinking that he was like a commodity, being turned around in the hands of his father and Li Shengli, Du Jiaoyang really didn't know how to face the Li family's parents.

After appraising the assets in his satchel, Li Shengli nodded, giving Du Jiaoyang a break, and he was also taking a break for himself.

Li Shengli quietly brought a daughter-in-law home to my mother, and Li Shengli didn't know how to explain it.

After dropping Xiao Hu off at the Army General Hospital, Li Shengli asked Du Jiaoyang to call. Du's father's reply was simple. Just go to the handicraft company. He had already said hello.

On the way, a few people went to Tongrentang and Donghuamen Trust Store, filled the back bucket with insect-proof herbs and boxes, and then set off to the handicraft company.

If you go directly to the handicraft company, you can't touch the gold bars in your bag. After all, Father Du is involved, so you still have to act in a measured way.

When we arrived at the handicraft company, it was the Du brothers and sisters who were in charge of the work. They told us about the history, and there was no need to go to the warehouse to look at the paintings.

The manager here took Li Shengli and others to the sales department. He put the cash in his backpack on the table and counted more than 400 yuan in total.

According to the top ten famous craftsmen reported by Li Shengli, Pu and Guan were added to the handicraft company.After collecting enough 5000 yuan for large paintings, the remaining 400 yuan are for small-sized paintings.

As expected by Li Shengli, the average price of high-quality large-scale paintings is around 40 yuan, while ordinary large-scale paintings only cost more than 30 yuan.

160 paintings, high-quality and ordinary goods, the same half, the handicraft company does not need to go out to buy goods, it is solved in-house.

The professionals at the handicraft company not only packaged the paintings, but also took measures to prevent insects and moisture.

According to Li Shengli, he also divided the paintings into three parts according to average quality. Three people each had one box, which was considered as a good preparation for the family.

During the process of sorting and packing the paintings, Li Shengli also briefly asked the sales section chief about the current market situation in the cultural toys market.

Cultural relics are worth some money, and the paintings by the top ten famous craftsmen are really just tattered and cheap handicrafts.

In addition to the handicraft company, the foreign guest service department, Youyi Store, and Rongbaozhai all have a lot of inventory.

According to the sales chief, there are tens of thousands of paintings by famous modern artists in these units, which is still a very conservative estimate.

After looking at the divided boxes, Li Shengli gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to take out the gold bars.

This time it was Father Du who said hello. Using gold bars to buy paintings would cause some trouble for Father Du.

But after getting to know him this time, he will be able to take out the gold bars next time he comes.

The task of earning foreign exchange for a handicraft company is much greater than that of a trust store, and gold is naturally one of them.

After chatting a little more with the sales section chief of the handicraft company and exchanging names, Li Shengli took the Du family siblings, picked up Xiao Hu, and returned to Wali.

After dropping off Xiao Hu and Jin Bar at Madianji, Li Shengli had little communication with the Du siblings because there was a driver around.

After arriving at the old village of Wali, he unloaded the things and the driver sent them to the car. Only then did Du Peng speak.

"Brother-in-law, it cost more than 7000 yuan to replace three boxes of broken paintings. Is it worth it?"

It was definitely worth it. Du Peng still believed what Mr. Du said, but he felt a little blocked because he didn't want to listen to Li Shengli's reasons.

“Paintings by famous masters were worth thousands of gold in the prosperous times of past dynasties.

We don’t have the ability or the financial resources to collect paintings by famous artists from past dynasties. The paintings by famous artists from this dynasty are now just rags.

Buy it and keep it well, you will never lose money.

If there is a chance, I would also like paintings by famous artists of all ages, but we only have so little money. How many ancient paintings can we buy in the cultural relics store?

No matter how expensive a masterpiece is, can it still be more expensive than hundreds of masterpieces by famous artists?

Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, which is to be able to preserve these paintings.

During this period of time, you have to lie down, but you can take the opportunity to go to some cultural management units to learn the knowledge of appraisal. "

Understanding Li Shengli's idea of ​​bargain hunting, Du Peng nodded and said:
"Brother-in-law, my dad is going to transfer me to the steel rolling mill and be the head of the security department. What do you think?
The work in the security department was free, so I happened to get some materials from the university to study. "

Du Peng still has a shortcut through education and getting in touch with connoisseurs in universities.

After listening to what cheap brother-in-law Li Shengli said before, he also became interested in antiquities.

“This depends on your ambition.

If you just want to be a little rich and content, then the Security Section Chief is a good choice.

However, if you want to take over your father's job, the position of Security Section Chief is not suitable for you.

The choice is up to you..."

After listening to Du Lao's arrangement, Li Shengli sighed secretly, saying that he was asking Du Peng to hold the gun in the factory.

The security chief of the steel rolling mill is armed with a gun, just like Xiao Changgong, the security chief of Beixinqiao.

Having a gun gives you confidence, but although Du Peng's methods are sophisticated and gave Du Peng a stable environment, it made him lose his enterprising spirit.

In the storm, most senior engineers have to bid farewell to their jobs. If Du Peng can join the technical department, he will be tempered by the storm and tested by practice, and he will be successful in the future.

"Brother-in-law, do you think I am a fool?
Is it safe to be rich?

It was hard to tell before [-] years ago, but now my dad is ranked among the top [-]. Do you want me to settle down as a rich man without taking over?

Can you tell me what position I should choose? "

Li Shengli's statement made Du Peng tremble. Whenever there was a chance, his disciples would choose to take over.

The conversation between Li Shengli and Du Peng also made Du Jiaoyang, who was still a little embarrassed, laugh. His younger brother has also made progress.

"Then choose a technical position and do some operations. A deputy section chief in charge of technology, or someone in the logistics field, but you have to be in charge of technology.

Wanting to take over is not just a matter of words. All I ask of your sister is to memorize the selected works.

If you want to take over, memorizing the selected works is only the basis, and understanding it thoroughly is the requirement.

In addition, there are additional requirements for you, and you must hold yourself to the strictest standards.

Within the limited time, all the subjects in the Iron and Steel Academy must be mastered, but they must be mastered.

As for the strictest standard, you should be clear about it, starting with morning exercise and getting up at 04:30.

At the same time, you have to take care of your former friends. If you can meet this requirement, you will be able to grow within three to five years.

Of course, such a requirement is too strict for you. My dad doesn't think highly of you, and neither do I.

I think it's better for you to be a dandy. "

It's better to fight than to fight. After Li Shengli finished speaking, Du Peng, who realized that he was underestimated by his father, clenched his fist, as if he was a little cruel.

"Don't be harsh, your biological father knows you best. From the age of three, you should be pretty much the same."

Li Shengli's last stab made Du Peng grit his teeth, and he cursed in his heart, he was so disrespectful...
