Chapter 214 Money Ability


    "Comrades, are you okay?"


    The three people went in, and a steward came out to ask.


    "We want to buy furniture."


    "Oh, welcome, come and take a look inside!"


    The steward entertained the three of them, took them into the workshop and walked around, and said with a smile: "This is the latest design from our factory. It is made of sufficient materials, new style, fashionable and practical. It is most suitable for weddings!"


    "No, no, I want to see those old furniture."


    "Old furniture?"


    The manager looked at Chen Qi and said, "Comrade, old furniture is not for sale to the outside world, let alone to individuals."


    "It''s not an individual. We are from a film company affiliated with the Ministry of Culture. We are filming an ancient drama and need a lot of old furniture to set the scene. Here is the certificate, please take a look!"


    He actually took out an ID card, and the reason was just as he said, it was to set up the scene for the filming of "Tai Chi 2".


    "Oh, Tai Chi! Then you, you are..."


    "I am the producer and also the screenwriter!"


    "This is a big deal. It''s easy to talk about. You have reported your home status early and I will take you there directly. We also support the film industry!"


    The steward looked at it and his enthusiasm increased by seven or eight. He led the three people to the door of a warehouse and opened the big lock with a bang. As the door opened, a stream of dust and smoke from the old era seemed to flow out.


    I don’t know how many pieces there are in it, but it’s full of holes and valleys. Yansong bed, beauty couch, rose chair, arm chair, Wanli cabinet... almost all are old furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China.


    "You take your pick!"


    "How to calculate the price?"


    "You decide later..."


    The steward was happy, Chen Qi stepped in, and first looked at a arhat bed made of huanghuali.


    "This used to be placed in the canteen, where the workers sat while eating. Later, the soft drawer underneath became worn and no one could sit on it, so it was placed in the warehouse."


    Gan!


    Chen Qi wanted to scold the streets and waste natural resources. This is an Arhat bed embedded with hundreds of treasures.


    There are armrests on both sides of the bed, and a backrest behind it. The backrest is embedded with two dragon patterns in the shape of two dragons playing with beads. The dragon body is made of ivory, the beads are pearls, and the turquoise embellishments are auspicious clouds... Various gems are inlaid on the bed, so it is called Baibao Inlay.


    "How to sell this bed?"


    "Two thousand!"


    Some people who didn''t understand the value of cultural relics before now understand it now, let alone those who are in this business. He asked for 2,000 yuan, which frightened Tian Zhuangzhuang and Zhang Yimou. My grandma, how can I buy a bed with 2,000 yuan?


    Chen Qi remained noncommittal and continued reading.


    I also fell in love with a set of screens from the Qing Dynasty, a large red sandalwood throne from the Qianlong Dynasty, and a pair of Wanli cabinets from Huanghuali. The Wanli cabinets are cupboards from the Ming Dynasty...


    Finally, when we arrived at a more spacious place, we paused for a moment and then hurried over.


    I saw a large red sandalwood painting table placed there, which is specially used for painting. It is 182 centimeters long, 96 centimeters wide and 90 centimeters high. It is almost intact. The entire painting table is carved with complex and exquisite patterns, revealing the An air of grandeur.


    Is this special girl the one Li Hanxiang bought?


    Chen Qi went over and observed carefully, it should be this one, a large Kangxi red sandalwood painting table with dragon patterns carved on it. It was also found among the people, but it was never this big. With such a wide size, it must have come from the palace.


    "How much does this cost?"


    "Three thousand!"


    “…”


    Chen Qi walked around and clicked on more than 50 items in one breath, ranging from painting tables and wardrobes to storage boxes and dressing boxes. The expensive ones ranged from thousands to dozens, and he said: "Let''s do the math. , how much in total?”


    The person in charge was stunned and quickly made an abacus and said: "42,000..."


    "Your price is too high, the price is 20,000 yuan!"


    "Twenty thousand is too little!" "Forget it!"


    "No, please add more and we can discuss it!"


    After a lot of talking, the deal was finally settled for 28,000 yuan. The furniture factory was responsible for the delivery and gave the workers an extra 100 yuan.


    This is just a warehouse, there are several more over there, but Chen Qi knows that too much is too much, and he can''t be greedy. Otherwise, when those related households come, what the hell, where are the things? Then it''s your fault.


    For example, the female elder who ate Tang Monk''s meat.


    They say she is a member of the Manchu noble clan and grew up in the Summer Palace, which is pure nonsense. She is from an ordinary working-class family. Because she can make clothes, she hooked up with a nanny from the leader''s house and often went to the leader''s house to deliver clothes.


    This eldest sister was pretty good-looking when she was young, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a big face, and full of energy, which is in line with the aesthetics of this era. She was also eloquent and bold, and the leader introduced her to bigger leaders.


    So she became a related household, hauling truckloads of cultural relics, and even got a Hong Kong identity. Then she speculated in real estate in Hong Kong and accumulated wealth. In the 1990s, she transformed and came to the mainland to invest as a model Hong Kong businessman...


    Then she began to package herself and use a unified voice in the media, just listen.


    Chen Qi bought the furniture in the name of the company for convenience, and then sold it to himself at the original price and became his personal property. He won''t spend the company''s money to buy things for himself, and the nature will change.


    20,000 yuan is not worth being shot.


    200 million, he is still considering...


    He has the power to do special things, but he will not be arrogant and knows how to grasp this.


    …


    Even so, Tian Zhuangzhuang and Zhang Yimou were shocked.


    The two of them are around 30 years old, and the money they handle is less than 200 plus one dollar. Chen Qi is only 21 years old, and he doesn''t blink an eye at 20,000 yuan. This feeling became even stronger when he came to his yard.


    Tian Zhuangzhuang turned around three times and sighed: "It is really not suitable for making movies. If all the courtyards were of this level, we would have achieved socialism long ago."


    "Did you buy this yourself?" Zhang Yimou asked.


    "yes!"


    "Then, do you live in such a big place alone?"


    "No way, I''m planning to start a magazine. The front yard can be used as their editorial office and dormitory for the time being, and I can live in the back yard."


    "That''s too big!"


    Zhang Yimou was extremely envious.


    After wandering around, Chen Qi invited the two of them to a restaurant and talked about the placement for next year''s graduation. Needless to say, Tian Zhuangzhuang, a child of the first family in Beijing Film Studio, would definitely join the factory, and Chen Kaige was basically determined to be a children''s studio.


    Zhang Yimou was confused. He wanted to stay in Beijing, but he knew it was impossible.


    Chen Qi didn''t say anything. Anyway, he won''t graduate until next year, so let''s talk about it then.


    Lao Mouzi''s life has been ups and downs. He has been criticized and praised by the entire Internet. Because the film "Man Jiang Hong" is not guaranteed to be released, I heard that "The Three-Body Problem" will be filmed again. I am afraid that the four-character actor Luo Ji will be cast. , Haocun plays Cheng Xin, and the entire film is shot in one shot. Isn’t it very bold?


    Then the spacecraft fired thousands of arrows, accompanied by Qin opera music, shouting: "Great wind!" "Great wind!"


    Everyone knows about Lao Mouzi. As long as he is given a good script, he can produce good works, and Chen Qi has no shortage of scripts. He is short of manpower, and there is a shortage of all positions...


    When the three of them parted, Zhang Yimou looked back frequently, thinking about Chen Qi more than Chen Qi thought about him.


    He was like a country bumpkin entering the city, seeing the life of rich people for the first time.


    "I heard that he has a company and is qualified to make movies. If he can hire me as a photographer, oops..."


    Zhang Yimou doesn''t have the urge to be a director yet, he just wants to be a photographer, and he happily falls into a state of longing.


    When Tian Zhuangzhuang saw this, he also thought thoughtfully. He was into art and didn''t like Chen Qi''s commercialization, but he wouldn''t shout and kill. If Lao Zhang could join Dongchang, it would be a good way to stay in Beijing. .
