Chapter 28 Touching Porcelain
Because there are four people, Lu Ergou, who sometimes return some news from the market, now Wang Hua is no longer as ignorant as when he first arrived in Luoyang.

First the Zheng family, then the Wang family, these two big families were folded into his own hands successively.Then in the future, we must either curry favor with Wang and Zheng's family and shut him out, or covet the profits his lacquerware can bring to the store, and then there will be no more unpleasant things, so as not to repeat the mistakes of Qizhenxuan and Hanlinzhai. mistakes.

It is true that the two families of Wang and Zheng were behemoths in the Tang Dynasty, and it is not false that they could not afford to provoke them.But after all, these are just some small conflicts, some unhappiness in business, for the sake of face, the two big families can't afford to fight to the death with this little guy like themselves, and let the world laugh at them.Therefore, as long as you are careful, it doesn't matter much.

Also, Li Tang suppressed these seven surnames and ten families very hard, especially when it came to Wu Zetian.Although Wu Zetian mainly dealt with the Zong family, that is, the Li family, and the Guanlong Group, these seven surnames and ten families still adopted a wise and safe attitude during this extraordinary period.

Wang Hua compared the news he heard with the historical knowledge he had learned before, and found a fact.The real prosperity of these ten families with seven surnames was still in the late Tang Dynasty. Because of the family resources, many children passed the imperial examinations, and gradually became more and more difficult to lose.However, when these families controlled and embezzled more resources, they also intensified the social conflicts in the Tang Dynasty, and finally pushed the demise of the Tang Dynasty, and actually accelerated their own demise.By the time of the Song Dynasty, these aristocratic families basically had no influence.

Therefore, these aristocratic families are powerful, but they are not omnipotent, especially in Luoyang, the current capital.Not only are there many forces that are not afraid of these seven surnames and ten families, but some forces are quite disgusted with these seven surnames and ten families.

As for the three lacquer boxes of Wang Hua, in order to make them perfect, Wang Hua must be perfect to the extreme. In addition to endowing them with exquisite craftsmanship, they also endowed them with a strong humanistic atmosphere.

The third lacquer box did not draw horses, but people, four pictures of seeking talents.And my three "Horse Talks" are about the use of talents. Therefore, this third lacquer box is not only more exquisite in workmanship than the first two, but also more luxurious, and it is the real essence of this set.

Only when the third lacquer box is completed can this combination have a soul, otherwise the first two lacquer boxes can only be said to be a handicraft by the young master of the Wang family.

Therefore, it must not be one or two businessmen who are interested in it.Especially those merchants who are hostile to Hanlinzhai.

But Wang Hua did not explain to Lu Ergou and the others.

The news spread much faster than Wang Hua imagined.Mainly because of Wang Hua's wild grass, that poem, and the dispute with Wang Jiasaburo. This matter itself is very gossip.Therefore, Wang Hua brought this lacquer box to Hanlinzhai and opened it. The magnificence, incomparable luxury and delicacy of this lacquer box shocked everyone, and then spread it.

Ordinary people just brag about it, but those who are interested will know the meaning of this lacquer box once they hear it.

On the second day, several batches of businessmen, who did not know where Wang Hua lived, came to visit.However, nothing has been negotiated. These businessmen said that because the three lacquer boxes are a complete set, and now they are a single piece, its value has also been depreciated.So the tallest one is only the money that Hanlinzhai gave to the first two lacquer boxes.

Among them, some did not understand the true meaning of the third lacquer box, and some were underpriced.

Wang Hua didn't even talk about it, and sent them out directly.

Until the next day, an old man came, and he first said to Wang Hua: "Young Lord, can I let the old man have a look at the lacquerware first?"

It looks okay, Wang Hua moved it out.

The old man looked at it for a long time before withdrawing his eyes reluctantly, and said, "How much do you want it sold for, Mr. Xiao Lang?"

"Old man, I'm not a businessman. If you are satisfied with the price, I will sell it."

Don't ask me, look at your own sincerity.

The old man closed his eyes and thought for a while. He had heard of these two lacquer boxes before, and he also went to Hanlinzhai to see them.Now aftertaste.After all, it was a big deal, so he had to figure it out.

Wang Hua didn't force him either.

The old man thought for a long time before saying, "I am the shopkeeper of Baolinzhai."

Wang Hua smiled: "I don't care about it. I just make and sell it. I don't want to open a shop. As for who is the buyer, it doesn't matter. I just know whoever offers a fair price. I don't want to bargain with others."

The first time the king of Linzi gave him two gold leaves, but he didn't say more money.The second time and the third time Hanlin Zhai gave him money, but he also didn't say more money.But there was a low line in his heart.

The old man said: "No, what I mean is that Mr. Xiao Lang has fallen out with Hanlin Zhai now, and he also needs to find a stable source of sales."

"Old man, the so-called aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys." Wang Hua replied.Don't try to deceive me with this, now almost the entire city of Luoyang knows about the lacquerware I make, and there is no need to worry about selling it.

The old man looked at Wang Hua, thinking in his heart, this little guy is very cunning, could he really be twelve or thirteen years old.He also said: "Little Lang, even so, there is a stable and sincere sales channel, which also saves Xiao Lang a lot of trouble."

The old man is interesting.A smile appeared on Wang Hua's face.He wanted to lower the price, but to put it bluntly, he put it in an extremely tactful way.

Wang Hua patted the box and said, "Sincerity doesn't just come out of your mouth."

It's no use talking empty words, you have to act.If you are sincere, you can offer a sincere price.

The old man said, "One million."

Although the old man offered the highest price among all the visitors in the past two days, Wang Hua still shook his head.Just kidding, the cost of this paint box alone has reached more than 40 yuan.Not to mention that it took him twice as many hours of work as the previous two paint boxes, and with the help of the four of Lu Ergou and the others, it would have been far more than that, not to mention its value.

The old man obviously knew the result, and he said, "Xiao Langjun, I also know that the price is a bit low. But because you sold the first two lacquer boxes to Hanlinzhai, we bought this lacquer box, and It’s tantamount to losing face with Hanlinzhai. If you think about it, you understand the risk. Not to mention the possibility of making the Taiyuan Wang family angry.”

"Old man, let's get straight to the point. Don't go around in circles. Since you dare to come to me to buy this lacquer box, you won't be afraid of the influence of Hanlinzhai. And since the old man can offer such a price, he must understand. What it's really about. $120 million, that's my bottom line."

"Okay, deal." Seeing the determined look on the young man's face, the old man knew that he would not come down with the price.I didn't see what he wrote, "An Neng smashes his eyebrows and bends his waist to serve the powerful, which makes me unhappy!" This young man has a very strong personality.

The four of Lu Ergou were taken aback, 120 million yuan!It seems that Wang Hua has suffered a lot.Think about it, if all the bills are paid with copper coins, what will the pile look like?
Just this box?
So the layman's thinking is different from the insider's thinking.

The craftsmanship of this lacquer box has broken through the entire era, and because of Wang Hua's meticulous production, it is incomparably magnificent and has great collection and appreciation value. The most important point is the humanistic atmosphere that Wang Hua said.

Moreover, the cost of this lacquer box itself is very huge, and the price is a bit low.

The old man just waved his hand to let the servants in. The money had already been prepared, and it was impossible to exchange copper coins for gold leaves as Lu Ergou thought.It should be said that Wang Huasheng was better at this time.In the next 100 years, because of the lack of money, the Tang Dynasty forcibly stipulated that more than half of the huge sum of money must be replaced by cloth. Think about it, 60 yuan of cloth would also take up a huge volume.The most worrying thing is that the government has started not to allow the counters to deposit money.If you have money, you have to keep it at home.This is more troublesome, and it is easy to provoke thieves.

Only then did the old man leave a name sticker, saying: "Xiao Langjun, if you have any utensils in the future, you can sell them at Baolinzhai. I am responsible for not having something similar to Qizhenxuan and Hanlinzhai."

Wang Hua smiled and said nothing.Nothing lasts forever in this world.There are no permanent friends, nor permanent enemies.Let's talk about it later.

After sending the old man away, Wang Hua went to the cabinet to save the money.

But as soon as he walked back, there were three young people in front of him blocking the road.

Because he offended Qizhenxuan and Hanlinzhai, he was more careful during this time.So take the initiative to dodge to the side.

But these young people took the initiative to come to the door and bumped into him.Then he heard a bang, and something fell to the ground and shattered.

Wang Hua didn't look down, but he already understood that this was the trick of these young people playing "touching porcelain".

There was no tension on Wang Hua's face, and he looked at them steadily to see what they would do next.
