The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 494: Another enlightenment
"Girl, if you like Mr. Qi's paintings, I can introduce you to someone. Mr. Qi's apprentice Li Keran is a good friend of mine. He currently lives in the capital and is best at painting landscapes and cows. You can go and see Judging from his words, he is no worse than his master."

Mr. Liang was in a good mood. He took the initiative to provide information this time without Bai Meixi opening his mouth. Mr. Qi has been dead for many years and there will be no new works. However, his apprentice is still alive, and Li Keran is his pride. Disciple, he is deeply influenced by Mr. Qi, especially in his attainments in landscape painting.

Bai Meixi has heard about Li Keran. Although his paintings are not as valuable as those of Mr. Qi, he is his disciple after all. He will also be an eternally famous figure in the art world. His words should be worth collecting.

"Okay, I'll come back tomorrow morning, and then I'll go visit Teacher Li Keran with you." Bai Meixi said very politely, with respect in her eyes, which made Mr. Liang fall in love with her even more.

He became very interested and began to explain paintings to Bai Meixi. His knowledge was profound and incomparable. Xu Yimao was also nodding his head. It was not easy to listen to Mr. Liang's lecture. He pricked up his ears. For fear of leaving a word behind, every pore is open, trying to absorb all kinds of strength.

Bai Meixi benefited a lot from Mr. Liang's class. She looked at the time and saw that it was almost seven o'clock. Mr. Liang's granddaughter had prepared meals and wanted to stay with Xu Yimao and Bai Meixi for dinner.

"Mr. Liang, I have something to do later, so I have to go back. Let's continue chatting tomorrow morning." Bai Meixi had to go back to make money to buy more things. Seeing that the time was almost up, she said goodbye to Mr. Liang politely. , a few people exchanged greetings, and Bai Meixi and Xu Yimao left Mr. Liang's residence.

After leaving the house, Bai Meixi directly gave Xu Yimao 10.8 yuan, which was regarded as today's commission.Xu Yimao was flattered by the money. Before he brought Bai Meixi here, he only wanted to become Mr. Liang's disciple, but he didn't expect that this business could actually make money.

10.8 yuan is a lot of money in this era, and it can buy two sets of good stamps.

"In the future, as long as the business you introduce to me is successful, I will get a [-]% commission." Bai Meixi gave Xu Yimao the same treatment as Xiaojun, forcing him to continue to help her.

Xu Yimao secretly calculated an account. Bai Meixi's daily turnover is not low. It is very easy to make more than ten yuan. At this rate, his private money will grow rapidly, which is more than what he makes by reselling stamps. many.

"Thank you, little girl Bai. I will accompany you tomorrow and help you get something. After all, these paintings all have scrolls, and together they weigh a lot." Xu Yimao's attitude towards Bai Meixi entered a new stage. With an extremely respectful attitude, he looked up at her cheek.

"No, Mr. Liang just comes with me." Bai Meixi rejected Xu Yimao. She knew very well why Xu Yimao followed her. She would definitely buy a batch of paintings when she went to Li Keran's house tomorrow. The commission is not a small amount. She has limited funds now and cannot afford such a large commission. What's more, she can see Li Keran tomorrow. It is because of Mr. Liang's face that even if she wants to give a commission, she must give it to Mr. Liang. .

After she put the paintings into the space, she hurried to the train station. Seven o'clock was coming soon. She didn't want to waste a single second of her time. She wished she could just skip sleeping time and use it all. In making money.

After Xu Yimao came out of Mr. Liang's house, he had a new idea. Since so many people followed Bai Meixi to invest in stamps, the paintings she invested in must be good. He could just follow Bai Meixi's lead and buy them.

Today he received several important messages. The paintings of Mr. Qi, Shi Tao, Li Keran and Huang Binhong are likely to become the new favorites of the collectors in the future, and they must be bought in large quantities while taking advantage of the low price.Xu Yimao doesn't have many connections for paintings, so Cao Yang is naturally the most suitable middleman, but that monkey spirit is more sensitive than anyone else. Once he knows that Bai Meixi is purchasing a large number of paintings from these painters, the number of people in the market will The resources would have to be cut off in half by him, and then Xu Yimao would have to watch others eat meat, and he would not be able to have two mouthfuls of soup left.

He made up his mind that this news must not be shared with anyone and could only be done quietly.

For this reason, he spent a lot of time trying to please Mr. Liang in the days to come. He used his connections to meet many friends in the calligraphy and painting circles, and also found a lot of sources of goods.

People in this era didn't know how to fake. Most of the paintings Xu Yimao bought were real. In addition, Mr. Liang occasionally had his eye on them, which further enhanced his self-confidence.

From then on, every pocket money he saved and royalties from writing were used to invest in the paintings of these painters, which soon reached a considerable amount.

Paintings are not the focus of collection in this era, and not many people pay attention to them. Xu Yimao's collection is going very smoothly. After many people heard that he collected paintings, they took the initiative to send their paintings over for a few yuan. Money can buy a good painting, which makes him gain a great wealth later.

Decades later, Xu Yimao has already become a veteran in the collecting world, and is even more respected than Mr. Liang at this time. Many treasure appraisal programs have invited him to be a guest, and he has also been asked to tell about his collecting history.

"Mr. Xu, you have hundreds of paintings by Mr. Qi and Li Keran, and they are all genuine. When did you start collecting the paintings of these two teachers? And what makes you interested in the paintings of these two teachers?"

Reporters are very curious about Xu Yimao’s collecting history. He almost never loses. Every collection he collected was sold for a large price decades later, which allowed his wealth to accumulate rapidly. His net worth has already exceeded one billion. .

Many people want to know how he judged that these paintings would be worth a lot of money in the future. After all, during the period of his rapid acquisition, the value of these paintings was not much more than scrap paper.

"I want to thank a mysterious elder sister for talking about this." Xu Yimao didn't mind talking about the history of his family with others. He didn't know that those paintings would be valuable from beginning to end. He just followed a guiding light and started collecting. That’s all.

"That eldest sister is a real expert. Although I have never seen her again, I believe that she must not have much more collections than me."

Xu Yimao did not mention Bai Meixi's name, but he did not erase her achievements in the slightest. He knew very well how much influence Bai Meixi had on his life. Without her, he might stay in one place forever. As a stamp collector, it is impossible to become a master of collecting in this lifetime.
