Chapter 632

Xie Gong shook his head and said, "you always say that. What else can I not believe?"

Liu said: "after all, I am a human being, not a God, and although this work is a ghostwriter, it's still very good. Although we say that its ghostwriter may be youqiu, not from the level of creation, it's better on the surface than other works, so I think it's better for others to confirm."

Xie Gong was pleasantly surprised to hear what Liu said. He quickly asked, "Liu, what you mean is that this painting is probably someone else's work?"

"That's not true!"

Liu explained: "from the point of view of the brush and style of painting, it's more likely to seek a substitute. As for why it looks better than other works, there is also an extraordinary factor in it."

Hearing this, Xie Gong was somewhat disappointed and asked, "just now, boss Chu told me that this painting has a market value of 500000 yuan. If it turns out to be someone else, will the price be higher?"

After pondering for a while, Mr. Liu said, "the price of 500000 is very reasonable for this painting. If it is higher than this price, I think it is possible only for Qiu Ying's works. However, from my point of view, this painting can hardly be made by Qiu Ying."

"Well, forget it!" Xie Gong shook his head directly.

"Mr. Xie, if you think the money for child treatment is not enough, I can help you with the transaction. I think it's better to understand something!"

Chu Chen said this because he didn't want Xie Gong to have any problems in his mind in the future. If he was a stranger, he would not be so troublesome.

Xie Gong said with a smile: "what's wrong with me? As the saying goes, if you want to be unknown, you have to do nothing. After a while, I'll come to work by your time. What's more to worry about. If there is a result, you can tell me a letter

When old Liu and his daughter heard that Xie Gong was going to work in chuchen, they all showed a trace of curiosity.

Seeing this, Chu Chen explained the reason to them with a smile.

After listening to the cause and effect of the incident, Mr. Liu was immediately surprised and asked, "are you brother Xie's son?"

"Yes Xie Gong nodded and said, "I met you several times with my father in those years."

Liu said happily: "it's nearly 30 years since we last met. I didn't expect to meet you today! Oh, what a pity! At that time, I was in charge of archaeological work in other places, and I couldn't come back to see him for the last time! "

Xie Gong sighed: "yes, my father talked about you before he died."

Liu shook his head and sighed. Then he said, "Xiao Xie, since you have difficulties at home, why don't you come to me? Besides, it's not hard to ask my address. Can I pretend I don't know you? "

Xie Gong is a little embarrassed and smiles. In fact, he didn't want to come to see Mr. Liu, but after all, they haven't seen each other for decades. Mr. Liu said this situation, and he really worried about it. Of course, if there was no way, he would have to be bold.

After all, Mr. Liu is over eighty years old. How can he not see Xie Gong's idea? He didn't mention it much. He asked, "what's the situation with the children now?"

When he mentioned his grandson, Xie Gong could not help worrying again and said, "sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad. Professor Zhu is going to do another operation for the child. The specific situation will be known only after the operation."

Old Liu nodded: "I think it's better to let experts consult now. What do you think?"

"I also hope to have expert consultation, but..."

"Leave it alone!"

Mr. Liu waved his hand and said, "you leave the information about your child to me. I'll ask someone to contact you immediately. We should have a consultation tomorrow morning."

"Thank you! Thank you very much, Mr. Liu! " Xie Gong bowed to Mr. Liu deeply.

Mr. Liu shook his head: "Xiao Xie, you are too outsider. As an elder, it's also right to do what you can."

Xie Gong gave a simple and honest smile, and then said: "Mr. Liu, since this is the case, I'll go back first. I think my husband will be in a hurry in the hospital. As for the money for this painting, just transfer it to me directly. "

"You won't wait for this painting any longer?" Mr. Liu confirmed it again.

"No, I'm sure I'll trust you both in this matter." Xie Gong waved his hand, saying that he didn't have to.

Chu Chen said, "in this case, I will take the painting for 500000 yuan."

"Boss Chu..."

"Thank you

Chu Chen interrupted him and said with a smile: "since your family and my master's family are also family friends, you can call me Xiao Chu directly."

Xie Gong shook his head: "how can I do this? I will work under your hands in the future. It's too rude to call you like this."

Mr. Liu said with a smile: "I think it's like this. You two use formal address during working hours. Usually, don't be so polite. What do you think?"Of course, chuchen had no problem with this, but Xie Gong hesitated for a while. After being persuaded by chuchen and Liu Qinshu, he agreed.

"Old Chu Xiao Chu, I know something about the acquisition of antiques. The market price is 500000 yuan, and you also get 500000 yuan. Isn't that a little bit of a loss? "

Chu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "not to mention the relationship between you and my master, since you are going to be my employee, of course, there will be some benefits. Besides, I'm sure I won't suffer losses. In the current antique market, I'll be able to make money in half a year. I'm afraid you'll regret it then! "

"I'm sure not..."

Chuchen was more cautious about money. We need to know how many brothers in the world will sever their relationship because of money. In order to avoid this seemingly unlikely thing, we'd better do a good job ahead of time.

When Chu Chen calls the finance department to transfer the account to Xie Gong, Xie Gong also writes down his grandson's information and is ready to leave.

Seeing that Xie Gong was about to leave, Chu Chen quickly said, "old Xie, I'll see you off."

"Don't bother. I'll take the bus myself..." Xie Gong repeatedly refused. Chu Chen saw that he was determined to do so, so he let him go.

Take Xie Gong to the door, and Chu Chen goes back to the living room. At this time, Liu is telling Liu Qinshu to contact the doctor as soon as possible. Then she calls with the note.

"Ah

Mr. Liu sighed and then said, "brother Xie is good to me, and he is also modest and has good craftsmanship. He knows a lot of skills that have been lost now. If it wasn't for that time, because of his family, maybe those skills could be inherited. If only I could protect him at that time! "

After listening to Liu's words, Chu Chen immediately understood what was going on. However, as far as he understood, the composition of the master's family was not good at the beginning, but his family was kind to a later great man during the Anti Japanese War, so he was spared. Nevertheless, in the name of conducting archaeological work, he escaped the limelight.

So at that time, Shifu couldn't even protect himself. How could he care for others? If he insisted on protecting himself, he might even drag himself into it.

Chu Chen said: "master, after all, it was quite difficult for you at that time, and you were beyond your reach. What's more, things have been going on for such a long time, and it's only adding trouble to think more. "

"That's what you said. Forget it, I don't want to!"

Liu shook his head. After a while, he said to Chu Chen with a smile, "ah Chen, you have done well this time. In our society, people with ability should contribute their own strength."

Chu Chen didn't understand what the master said at the beginning. After a moment's thinking, he realized that what the master should say was about carving lacquer. He said with a smile, "I was just in time. If I hadn't met Xie Lao, an artist with excellent craftsmanship, I wouldn't have come up with such an idea."

Mr. Liu said, "have you ever thought about how to do it in case the apprentice doesn't want to study after a period of time and feels boring and troublesome

Chu Chen replied: "first of all, when choosing apprentices, we will definitely select more. If we can successfully pass the interview, we will also give him a salary at the beginning, so that he will not have worries about his life. In addition, there are some rewards and punishment measures that I haven't thought about yet. Of course, before that, we will sign an agreement with him. If he goes back, he will pay a lot of liquidated damages. "

Mr. Liu nodded: "you mean, at the beginning, you are going to raise the apprentice?"

Chu Chen sighed: "yes, after all, the art of carving lacquer was not easy at the beginning. If we don't solve the students' worries about their lives, it may have an impact on their psychology, especially in this utilitarian society. When he can do it himself, there won't be so many problems. "

"What do you think of running a school?" Old Liu asked again.

"It's very difficult!"

Chu Chen said: "there is a lot of capital investment alone. In addition, it is difficult to find good teachers and students. What about the employment problem after graduation? After all, carved lacquer is a high-end handicraft, and its price is expensive. Besides, it's not like porcelain. There are so many people who like it, and there are so many practitioners, so it's hard to open up a market. "

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Mr. Liu frowned and sighed: "what you said is reasonable. It can't be solved by rich people. It seems that under the market economy, some old crafts must be eliminated."

Chu Chen is not very happy when he hears about the speech. Although there are often people calling for the protection of traditional handicrafts in the society, the audience of some things is very small, it is difficult to earn money, and learning has to endure loneliness. In this case, how many young people will choose to learn?

Therefore, if we really want to protect traditional handicrafts, it is still very difficult to rely on personal strength alone. No matter how much money Chu Chen has, he does not have so much energy to manage.
