Chapter 149: Pimping (Today's 10th Update)

Ink Lady?

Zhao Ji has taken a fancy to the ink lady?

He's coming to me to pimp?

The greatest artist in the history of mankind is now a pimp......

Wu Haogu's cheeks twitched a few times, and he finally accepted the cruel reality. He, the greatest artist in human history, is still not as good as a Persian dancer in Zhao Ji's eyes!

But...... Pimping is pimping.,Anyway, this kind of thing won't be recorded in the history books.,Maybe up to. Finch has done the same thing.

"It turned out to be Brother Zhao," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "Have you seen the Dance of the Ink Lady?" ”

"I've seen it," Zhao Ji said with a smile, "It's a good drawing...... Well, I haven't copied it yet, and I want to meet Mo Niangzi today. ”

Zhao Ji spent most of the day yesterday painting the powder copy of "Pan Qiaolian Riding a Horse", so he didn't have time to copy "The Dance of the Ink Lady", so he didn't realize how superb the body painting skills used in this picture were.

Pan Qiaolian painted by Zhao Ji before was wearing a lot of clothes, in fact, she was painting her face and hands, and then adding clothes like the Wu family.

The "Wu family style" was very popular in the Northern Song Dynasty painting circle, and those who had cultivated painting skills had practiced it repeatedly, and Zhao Ji was very good at it. Therefore, as long as the characteristics of Pan Qiaolian's face and hands are mastered by copying Wu Haogu's paintings, it is not difficult to paint Pan Qiaolian.

But "Mo Lady Dance Picture" is different, it is a real human body!

Without tens of thousands of sketches and systematic training, you can master the ghost!

Thinking of this, Wu Haogu showed a bright smile, "Little Brother Zhao wants to see Mo Niangzi, right?" Okay...... It just so happened that a certain family was about to go to Fengle Building for a banquet, and Ji Yizhi, the owner of Mo Niangzi, was also coming, he might as well bring Mo Niangzi, you might as well go with you. ”

"Ji Yi also went?" Zhao Ji frowned, "Who else?" ”

Ji Yi is a civil official, and he is not a pro-noble official, and Zhao Ji is a prince...... It is not always good for civil officials to make friends with princes. Although Ji Yi is just a sesame official, he can't guarantee that there is someone behind him. If Ji Yi is a figure of the new party behind him, the Empress Dowager Xiang will be unhappy if she knows it, and if he is behind the old party, then the emperor's brother will be angry again.

In these years, the prince of the Great Song Dynasty is not easy to be!

"There is no one," Wu Haogu smiled, "It's just a few friends, and there are no officials." ”

"Brother Xiaoyi," Pan Qiaolian reminded, "You are my cousin, how can you not see the official Ji?" ”

"Oh." Zhao Ji thought about it, he didn't go as a prince, he was just a scholar in cloth!

"Okay, let's go check it out." Zhao Ji smiled and nodded.

Wu Haogu did not go out with Zhao Ji immediately, but introduced his brother to Zhao Ji.

"Brother Zhao, he is my younger brother Wu Haowen, the word Chongwen. Now he is a student in Kaifeng Mansion, and he will soon enter Taixue. ”

Wu Haowen also dressed up carefully today, wearing a blue gown, a sachet tied around his waist, and a plum blossom inserted in his sideburns, looking particularly handsome.

Zhao Ji glanced at him and said with a smile: "Yes, too student, very good, it would be better if he could roll call outside Donghua Gate." ”

Wu Haowen was a little stunned, where did this Zhao Xiaoyi come from? Why do you talk like that? The tone sounded like some kind of official...... can see that he seems to be younger than himself, is he just a powerful child with no one in his eyes?

However, Wu Haowen is full of poetry and books, and the etiquette still has to be talked about, so he bowed and said: "What Lang Jun said is very true, Haowen has been determined to roll his name outside the Donghua Gate since he was a child." ”

Wu Haogu listened to his younger brother's words, and said in his heart: You have to take the Jinshi exam quickly, otherwise the imperial examination will be suspended by the great god in front of you...... When the time comes, if you want to take the Jinshi exam, you can only go to the Liao State or the Goryeo State to take the exam.

"It's not too early...... Wu Haogu glanced at Pan Qiaolian again, his face was still not very good-looking, did he know that Ximen Qing was a woman?

This girl is good at everything, but she is a little jealous, and it seems that she will not agree to take a concubine to support her family......

Wu Haogu smiled: "Brother Zhao, eighteen, let's go." ”

"Okay, okay, let's go." As Zhao Ji spoke, he couldn't help but look at Feng Erniang again.

It's really good, it's a good woman, but it's a pity that it's a good family......

……

When Wu Haogu and the others went out, Ji Yiji, senior officials and Mi Youren, Su Dalang, Ma Zhi, and Zhang Xizai had already arrived at Fengle Building. But Mo Niangzi didn't follow...... Mo Niangzi is not a professional housekeeper, and people only come out once in a while to do it.

Moreover, Wu Haogu treats guests, how can there be guests who bring their own wine girls?

As for the lady who accompanied the wine, Zhang Xizai had already called it, and she was the lady of Fengle Building. Fengle House is a big restaurant that also takes the erotic route.

In addition to the door bed on the ground floor of Fengle Building, there is no lady to call, and in the corridor room of the private room pavilion upstairs, there are banquet girls waiting for the call at any time, commonly known as "dotting flower cards". However, at any time, only "flower cards" are called, and there is no "oiran". If the guest wants the Oiran lady of Fengle House to accompany the wine, it must be booked in advance, and it is not necessary to invite it.

Moreover, ordinary guests, even if they invite an Oiran, they just enter the private room and serve a glass of wine.

So Wu Haogu didn't let Zhang Xizai order the oiran, but ordered ten flower cards, and they are now drinking tea with a few people who have arrived.

Mi Youren took this opportunity to talk about business matters to Ji Daguan and Su Dalang.

“…… My teacher's business acumen, to be honest, is no worse than painting. Calligraphy and painting halls, fidelity calligraphy and painting studios, calligraphy and painting singing and selling and appraisal, these businesses are all small profits and big profits, and they are all elegant things.

Tingyang has already calculated, if you first build a guild hall near Jinmingchi and Qionglin Garden outside Xicheng, build a fidelity calligraphy and painting restaurant on Panlou Street, plus some reserves, the capital required is at most 300,000 yuan. In the first year, the layout is mainly expanded, and you can show your skills in the second year, and you can return to your capital in three years. ”

With an investment of 300,000 yuan, you can make a steady profit without losing money, and you will return to your capital in three years...... This should be put on the future generations and not be regarded as illegal fund-raising or pyramid schemes.

But the person who said this now is Mi Youren!

"History of Painting" and "History of Books" were compiled by him and his father, and most of the fakes he made have been made into the Palace Museum and regarded as a national treasure!

Historically, he was also in charge of painting - equivalent to the president of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in the Song Dynasty!

He is now talking to people about the business of calligraphy and painting, and if anyone doesn't believe him, it must be in the water of his brain.

Mi Youren continued: "Now two-thirds of the share capital has been subscribed, and there is still a gap of 100,000 share capital. ”

In fact, Wu Haogu's joint-stock firm did not absorb the share capital of 200,000 taels at all, but calculated the capital of one tassel of actual income (in fact, it was confiscated, but only subscribed by someone) into shares worth two taels. In other words, you can only receive a maximum of 100,000 share capital.

Among them, Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian are ready to take out 75,000 yuan to win 50 percent of the shares of the joint stock firm. Mi Youren subscribed for 8,000 taels for his father, and persuaded the horse Wang Shu to subscribe for 7,000 yuan, and the remaining 6,000 yuan of the actual capital of 6,000 yuan was subscribed by Ximen Qing, Zhang Xizai, Hua Manshan, Ma Zhi, Guo Jing, Liu Wuji and others, and 4,000 were subscribed by Wu Haogu for Gao Yu.

However, Ji Yi and Su Dalang must really take out 100,000 yuan to buy shares. In this way, Wu Haogu's joint-stock firm was able to circle a huge capital of 200,000 yuan at the beginning. In Kaifeng Mansion's calligraphy, painting and literature play, it can also be ranked.

According to Wu Haogu's plan, this capital is currently invested in three main directions: one is to buy a larger shop on Panlou Street and transform it into a "fidelity painting shop", specializing in the business of "contemporary calligraphers and painters", especially "contemporary calligraphers and painters" who are not famous.

The second is to invest in the construction of the calligraphy and painting hall, which will be located in the area of Jinmingchi and Qionglin Yuan in the west of Kaifeng Fucheng. The main business of the Calligraphy and Painting Club is appraisal, auction, acquisition and meeting friends with calligraphy and painting, which is a membership-based art salon.

Third, it is used as working capital to provide financial support for the development of follow-up business.

"Okay! I'll give out 50,000, and I still have 50,000 brothers to come out, how about it? ”

Su Dalang had already discussed the business of the calligraphy and painting firm with Wu Haogu, and he also knew a little bit about it, so he naturally immediately subscribed for 50,000 yuan.

"Yes, I'll give 50,000." Ji Yi didn't hesitate, and agreed in one bite.

Fifty thousand yuan is not a particularly large amount for the Ji family, and the investment in front of them is definitely worth it...... Not to mention the return of capital in three years - Ji Yi does not value the return of more than 10,000 yuan a year - the additional benefits that can be brought by becoming an important shareholder of the calligraphy and painting firm are enough for him to pay for it.

What are fringe benefits?

It is convenient to manipulate the singing and selling activities of calligraphy and painting firms...... The trade of calligraphy and painting, especially the contemporary scholars, has always been full of cats.

Accepting bribes is a violation of the king's law, even if you don't kill your head and don't go to jail, it's not easy to see the sea in Yalong Bay. But write a few words to sing and sell, and sell tens of thousands of dollars, this is legal, right?

Even if the Imperial Historical Observatory knows about it, it can't be impeached.

It is natural for literati to sell words, and even Emperor Zhenzong of this dynasty said: There is a golden house in the book...... To impeach this is to embarrass the world's scholars.

In addition, it is common to give bribes to give paintings and calligraphy, but it is difficult to say how much the calligraphy and paintings are worth. If you can walk from the side of an authoritative singer and sell and raise the price again, it will be a big gift for a small amount of money.

With such a big interest, Ji Yiji's brain is so active, how can he not understand it?

The big business of 100,000 yuan was negotiated in less than a stick of incense, which made Mi Youren feel that he had a talent for doing business, and just wanted to say a few words of Wishing you prosperity, the voice of welcoming the guest Xiaoer came from outside the door.

"Guest officer, this is the No. 1 private room on the second day of the middle school."

The middle of "middle two Tianyi" refers to the middle building of Fengle Building, the second refers to the second floor, and Tianyi is the private room number - Tianzi No. 1! It is also the best private room on this floor.

As soon as Xiao Er's voice fell, the door of the No. 1 private room on the second day of the middle school was pushed open. Wu Haogu, Wu Haowen, Pan Qiaolian, Gao Yu, and Duan Wang Zhao Ji, who is alias Zhao Yi, walked in in turn.
