Rong Bao Zhai is a time-honored shop with a long history of more than 300 years and well-known at home and abroad, mainly engaged in the four treasures of the study, collecting countless calligraphy and painting art treasures, and has the reputation of "folk Forbidden City".

In the ancient culture street of Liulichang, Rong Bao Zhai has a pivotal position, people often say that Liuli Factory is more famous because of Rong Bao Zhai, which can be seen.

It is located in Liulichang West Street, the building where it is located is quite spectacular, carved beams and painted buildings, antique, very conspicuous, you can see it as soon as you enter Liulichang West Street.

Rong Bao Zhai was founded in 1672, the predecessor was 'Songzhu Zhai', during the Guangxu period, take the meaning of 'meeting friends with literature, Rong people as treasure', renamed 'Rong Bao Zhai'.

Lu Runzhen, a famous calligrapher at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the champion of the Tongzhi period, the official to the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, and the teacher of Puyi, personally inscribed the name of the store for "Rong Bao Zhai".

However, what is hanging at the door of the store now is not the plaque inscribed by Lu Runzhen, but the inscription plaque from the hand of the famous modern writer Guo Moruo, which is also the trademark store of Rong Bao Zhai.

Passing through the first door and entering the second inner door, there was a plaque with three gilded characters inscribed 'Rong Bao Zhai' in front of everyone.

This is also a celebrity handwriting, from the modern famous painter Xu Beihong! hanging above the door of the second door of Rong Bao Zhai, very imposing, just like Xu Beihong's paintings.

Walking into the door, Ye Tian immediately took off his sunglasses and began to seriously appreciate this time-honored store that has been inherited for more than 300 years and is famous, and experienced its strong cultural atmosphere and heavy sense of history

After the second door, I entered the middle hall of Rong Bao Zhai, and a smell of books immediately came to my face.

The first thing that comes into everyone's eyes is a huge gray-black inkstone, which is irregular and circular, several square meters, placed on the mahogany base, facing the door, and the visual perception is quite shocking.

Behind this huge inkstone, there is a huge wooden screen, on which is a Chinese painting from the hands of contemporary masters, the picture of eight immortals, vivid, vivid and expressive.

But this picture of the Eight Immortals is not the original, but Rong Bao Zhai uses the wood-board watermark technology that is included in the list of intangible cultural heritage, and the work copied is similar to the original, almost chaotic!

Even if this is a reproduction, it still has considerable artistic value, showing several layers of charming halo in Ye Tian's eyes, even no less than the original works of some well-known artists.

On both sides of this giant inkstone and the Eight Immortals, it is the business area of Rong Bao Zhai.

The east hall on the first floor deals with stone seals, seal carvings, inkstones, inkstones, fans, and other stationery, the middle hall deals with painting pigments, ink, processed paper, etc., and the west hall on the first floor deals with brushes, rice paper, handicrafts, etc.

The second floor is the exhibition hall, which displays some of the famous paintings collected by Rong Bao Zhai, and often holds various art exhibitions, which is a cultural palace that young and middle-aged painters in China dream of entering.

After admiring the giant inkstone and the Eight Immortals placed at the door of the central hall, Ye Tian turned his head and said to his mother:

"Mom, you take Betty and Linlin to the exhibition hall on the second floor, there are many famous paintings on display, you can enjoy it, since you come to Rong Bao Zhai, don't miss it.

I'll look on the first floor and ask if there's anything I'm looking for, and if there is, it's the best! If not, it's a pity, I'll go to the second floor to find you soon."

"Okay!"

The mother nodded in response, and then took Betty and Linlin to the exhibition hall on the second floor to appreciate the charming charm of traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting.

Ye Tian quickly told Raymond a few words, and asked Raymond to follow his mother to the upstairs exhibition hall to protect their safety.

As for your own safety, you don't have to worry about it at all.

Its own strong strength is enough to protect itself, not to mention that there are three free bodyguards! The three plainclothes city bureau officials have already followed, and they are guarding outside the gate of Rong Bao Zhai.

Waiting for the old mother and their figures to disappear at the top of the stairs, Ye Tian immediately turned around and walked towards the counter in the west hall, ready to ask the clerk if there was anything he needed here.

Between three or two steps, Ye Tian had already arrived at the rice paper counter.

He first looked at the many rice papers placed on the counter, the quality was not bad, they were all genuine rice paper, and there were no fakes that were shoddy and sold dog meat on the head of a sheep.

Most of these rice papers are mid-range goods, and there are also some relatively high-end goods, and the prices are not low, and there are several kinds of more than 10,000 knives.

However, Ye Tian didn't see the top-level rice paper he wanted here, either Rong Baozhai didn't have it, or it just didn't put it out.

After quickly reading the rice paper on the counter, Ye Tian made his request to the clerk.

Mingxuan from the Ming and Qing dynasties, or similar to the 'Shi Niu Tang' rice paper specially made for Master Li Keran in the 70s, the same quality of top rice paper.

Like the middle-aged man in Hongbaotang, after listening to his request, the clerk of Rong Baozhai was also shocked, and asked in disbelief:

"Young man, the two kinds of top-grade rice paper you mentioned, we have them in stock in Rong Bao Zhai, and they are also sold to the outside world, but I still have to confirm, do you know the price of this top-grade rice paper?"

Hearing this, Ye Tian's eyes immediately flashed with joy, and he nodded with a smile and said:

Since I came to buy this kind of top-quality rice paper, I naturally know about it and understand their price.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, according to the different production years and quality, the price was also different, from a knife of more than 100,000 to a knife of millions, and the price range was relatively large.

In the seventies of the last century, the 'Shi Niu Tang' rice paper specially made for Master Li Keran, the current market price is 150,000 per knife, according to the state of preservation, there is a little float, but the fluctuation is not large.

Since you have these two kinds of rice paper, then take ten knives for each, if the goods are genuine, the quality satisfies me, I don't mind buying a little more and saving, this kind of good thing is rare!"

"Wow, young man, your pen is too big! Take ten knives each, that's millions of rice paper! I can't do such a large business, so our manager has to come forward!"

The Rong Bao Zhai clerk exclaimed in surprise, his eyes were about to fly out of his sockets, and he looked at Ye Tian incredulously.

Not only this clerk, but also several nearby clerks and customers were also stunned by Ye Tian's words, and they almost couldn't believe their ears.

Spending millions of yuan to buy top-level antique artworks for appreciation, collection, or investment, everyone has seen it many times, and it is no wonder!

Not only do these antique works of art not depreciate, but as time goes on, people become wealthier and their value rises and becomes more expensive, making them a very good investment.

Of course, there is a premise here, you have to buy the right thing, buy the real thing! If you buy a worthless fake, then you have to play it out!

However, spending millions of yuan to buy disposable consumables and discarding rice paper, everyone has seen it for the first time, and they have never even heard of it, can you not be shocked?

How rich does this be? How luxurious you dare to be!

Is the money in the kid's pocket at the counter the same thing as the money in his own pocket? It can't be the wind?

The rest of the store was the same, all of them were alarmed by the clerk's voice, and they all looked over here, everyone was very curious, not knowing what was going on here.

"Please come over to your manager, I'm here to wait, if possible, it's best to bring the top rice paper I want, and save you another trip!"

Ye Tian said with a chuckle, his expression was very relaxed.

"Before calling our manager to come over, I still have to make sure that this is a transaction involving millions of yuan, and the target is a top-level famous announcement, right?

Are you sure you're not making fun of us? Rice paper is a one-time consumable, and it will be discarded when it is used up, you can think clearly! Do you really have to spend a huge amount of money to buy these top-quality rice paper?

Collecting top-quality rice paper is quite demanding on the environment, and under normal circumstances, we will not easily move them, let alone take them out of the warehouse, I hope you can understand!"

The clerk said solemnly, obviously still skeptical.

"That's right! This is indeed a transaction of millions of yuan, and I do want to receive a batch of top-quality rice paper, you can rest assured that this is not a joke!

As for whether it is fun for you, whether you have this strength, please ask your manager to come out and know, I am sure that your manager must know me, and even look forward to meeting me!

Ye Tian nodded and gave an affirmative reply, his eyes full of confidence.

"Ah! Our manager knows you? That's easy, I'll call the manager immediately to ask the manager to come over, he is next to the Rong Bao Zhai Building, a few minutes away, please wait!"

As he spoke, the clerk took two steps back and began to contact the manager on an internal phone.

Ye Tian looked up at the surveillance camera on the wall in front of him, smiled at the camera and nodded.
