Chapter 328 Why don't you come out at 1 o'clock
Chapter 328 Why not come out evenly?
Qiu Huoming was stunned. Nowadays, everyone likes to ask about their family members’ situation.
He coughed and said, "My parents both work in ordinary units, and it's mainly because my uncle is rich." Qiu Huoming pulled Jin Chaopu to the stage again and said.
"He greeted me last time. He is a cultured person who likes Chinese culture..."
This is not wrong, but the national quintessence refers to music...it's okay to change the concept.
Director Fu felt hopeful as he listened to his serious and meaningful words.
After saying this, Qiu Huoming was already looking through the list in his hand.
This list is not written in detail, but is written according to series.
For example, how many volumes are there in Zhang Daqian's Lotus series...
How many volumes does his Dunhuang series have in total...
Qi Baishi's series of shrimp play pictures...
Qiu Huoming is very enthusiastic about these series, which are all very famous.
"My uncle has entrusted me with full authority to handle this matter. Give me your account number and my uncle will transfer the money directly. You need to give me a copy of this list. In addition, Director Fu, how are you going to hand over the things in the warehouse to me?"
"You are Xiaotang's friend, and you are my junior. If this matter can be confirmed, I will write you a list and agree that we will exchange the money for the goods. The goods are in the warehouse, and you can come and get them anytime. There are a lot of things, and the calligraphy and paintings need a proper place to be kept. You can't just leave them randomly..."
Director Fu is a man of culture after all. Even though he has sold his things now, he still hopes that they can find a good home.
"Also, if you've paid and you don't want to take the stuff away for a while, we can keep it for you. I'll give you the key and you can store the stuff with us. Just let me know when you want to take it away in advance. I'll sign a contract with you in the name of our company."
Qiu Huoming was overjoyed when he heard this. "Okay, my uncle can't come to Beijing for the time being, so let's do as you say. After we sign the contract, my uncle will pay the money first, and you will keep the things temporarily. When my uncle rents a new warehouse, he will come over to take over..."
Director Fu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll draft a contract first, and you guys can go around and look it up. It will be ready in a while."
Tang Xiaotang said with a smile: "Xiaoran, Qiu Huoming, come with me, I will take you to see a fat cat."
It seems that all museums have a signature cat. Qiu Huoming responded with a smile, and Gu Xiaoran jumped up, "It's a pity that we didn't bring any food."
"It has no worries about food and water, it specializes in catching mice." Tang Xiaotang said as he walked out.
Three people filed out.
Not long after, a fat orange cat was seen basking in the sun in the yard. When it saw Tang Xiaotang coming, it didn't dodge. From a closer look, it looked a bit like Aobai, very domineering.
"Fat cat." Tang Xiaotang squatted down and reached out to gently touch its fat head.
The fat cat turned over, lay on its side, and looked at Qiu Huoming and his group with disdainful eyes.
"You can't touch this cat's head. I'm familiar with it, so I dare to touch it. This guy is very fierce." Tang Xiaotang said with a smile.
The fat cat probably understood and meowed to show his agreement.
"Hey, it really understands." Gu Xiaoran approached Tang Xiaotang and squatted down.
She tried to reach out her hand, but the cat stared at her without blinking.
Qiu Huoming warned, "It's still wild, don't try to test it."
Only then did Gu Xiaoran withdrew his hand with regret.
The fat cat also seemed a little regretful. It retracted its outstretched claws and put them back into its thick chest hair.
Several people stayed here teasing the fat cat. After about ten minutes, Director Fu came over in person.
"Huoming, come and take a look." He handed a piece of paper in his hand to Qiu Huoming.
Qiu Huoming walked over, took the page of paper and read it from the beginning. This agreement had just been written. Director Fu had carefully listed the parts they had just agreed on in the form of clauses, and the list at the back was attached.
"Okay, let's do it." Qiu Huoming responded.
"Let's go to the office." Director Fu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had no objection.
Tang Xiaotang smiled and said, "You guys go and do your business. Xiaoran and I will play here for a while."
After returning to the office, Director Fu redrafted a contract. After Qiu Huoming took it, he added a liability for breach of contract. Director Fu saw that this liability for breach of contract was also in his favor, so he immediately agreed without saying a word.
The two of them signed their names, and Director Fu was so considerate that he took the official seal of the museum and stamped the attachments and the agreement.
Qiu Huoming blew on the red mud mark on it and said, "Director Fu, can I borrow your phone? I'll ask my uncle to transfer the money to me right away."
Director Fu smiled and said, "You can use the phone as you like. There's no need to rush. It's written in the agreement that payment can be made within a week."
The call was connected, but there was still some noise. "Uncle, it's me, Qiu Huoming..."
Jin Chuopu laughed and said, "You are talking about me again, kid. Are you calling from Beijing? Is it about what you said last time, that you want to buy a batch of calligraphy and paintings?"
"Yes, little uncle, the calligraphy and painting you wanted to buy last time have already been negotiated... I'll tell you the account number, please write it down, and then repeat it to me. If it's correct, please transfer the money to me today or tomorrow..."
Jin Chaopu sneered, "I am your employee! You always ask me to do things."
Even though she complained, she still took out a pen and paper and wrote down the account number he reported.
"It's still early. I'll go to the bank now. Let me know when you receive it. I'll write it clearly on the remittance slip..." Jin Chaopu repeated the account information.
Qiu Huoming took the agreement and compared it with the others. "No problem. Thank you very much, uncle!"
"You've been bothering me for more than a day or two. Okay, I'm leaving now."
The call was disconnected.
Qiu Huoming smiled and said to Director Fu: "It's done. My uncle will transfer the money now. You can also contact the bank. It won't arrive that quickly, but you can find out when the money was transferred..."
Director Fu was delighted, "Your uncle is really a trustworthy man."
Qiu Huoming put the list and the agreement away and put them in his backpack.
He then gave Director Fu the phone number of the guesthouse where he was staying, "If you have any questions, just call this number and ask the front desk to transfer the call to me."
Both of them got things done smoothly and were in a good mood.
"Huo Ming, would you like some tea?" Director Fu bent down and took out a tube of tea leaves from the cabinet under the desk. "Would you like some of this year's spring tea?"
"Okay, let's try it..."
"This is white tea. Not many people drink it. It tastes stronger than green tea. It's not very famous in this place, but the taste of this tea is very good." Director Fu took out a white porcelain teacup while introducing it, put a handful of tea leaves in it, and poured in hot water.
As hot water was poured in, a lifelike red carp appeared on the white porcelain teacup.
Qiu Huoming was stunned. Director Fu said proudly, "It's amazing, isn't it? Once it comes into contact with hot water, the picture will float on the cup..."
Qiu Huoming thought that this kind of cup with temperature-sensitive material must have been everywhere in the future. He slandered it in his heart but did not show it on his face. "It's really magical."
"It was given to me by a foreign friend." Director Fu smiled and said, "Actually, I also know that this kind of material is not expensive. It's just that this fish is really beautiful..."
As the two were chatting and laughing, there was a knock on the office door.
Director Fu thought it was Tang Xiaotang who came back, "The door is not locked, come in."
The door opened, and a young man in his 30s came in. When he saw Director Fu, he smiled and said, "Director, I'm Xiao Xu."
"It's you. Are you copying paintings again?" Director Fu greeted with a smile.
"That's not the reason today." Xiao Xu walked in quickly.
He glanced at Qiu Huoming and found that he was very young. He probably thought he was Director Fu's nephew, so he didn't care and directly explained his purpose to Director Fu.
“I heard you have over 9000 paintings to sell?”
"More than that, but the matter has been resolved." Director Fu said easily.
Xiao Xu was relieved when he heard that. "That's good. You're not going to sell it, right? I was worried that I wouldn't be able to make that much money in a short time."
Director Fu was stunned. "Why, you want to buy it too?"
Qiu Huoming immediately pricked up his ears.
Xiao Xu nodded. "After I heard the news, I went back to raise money. Now it's not enough, so I came to talk to you first. I will give you a few months to raise the money. However, if you don't want to sell it, that's fine too. I can still come over and copy it often."
Director Fu smiled regretfully and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to copy it for you in the future."
"Why? I won't damage the original!"
"That's not the reason. The paintings and calligraphy have already been sold."
Xiao Xu's face changed drastically. "No way, who are you going to sell it to? No, you can't sell it to others. I have almost collected enough money, you have to sell it to me!"
He walked quickly towards Director Fu and reached out to grab his arm.
Director Fu didn't break free, and he looked a little embarrassed. "Why are you so irritable? This business is based on first come first served. Who can you blame for being late?"
Xiao Xu held onto Director Fu's arm tightly and refused to let go. "I went to collect the money as soon as I heard the news. You can't sell it to others!"
He kept repeating this sentence over and over again, and Director Fu finally got angry.
Qiu Huoming stepped forward and helped Director Fu break free.
Director Fu saw that Xiao Xu looked unhappy and was too lazy to argue with him. He pointed at the gate and said, "Xiao Xu, I understand that you are in a bad mood, but you also have to understand me. You are not welcome here. Please leave."
Xiao Xu stood there dumbly, "I..."
Qiu Huoming asked from the side, "Can I ask why you bought these paintings?"
Xiao Xu looked at Qiu Huoming and said, "You won't understand even if I tell you."
With a dark face, he turned around and walked out quickly.
When Director Fu saw him leave, he said to Qiu Huoming, "This guy is not a bad guy, but his temper is unbearable. Forget it."
Just as he finished speaking, the phone beside him rang. He picked up the phone and listened. He handed the phone to Qiu Huoming, "It's your uncle calling."
Qiu Huoming picked up the phone, "Uncle, it's me."
Jin Chaopu's voice was filled with laughter. "It's settled. Ask him to check over there. I estimate it will be here in a few days."
"Okay, thank you, uncle."
Qiu Huoming put down the phone and said to Director Fu: "The money has been transferred. Do you want to ask the finance department?"
Director Fu was overjoyed when he heard this, and the unpleasantness that had just happened disappeared immediately. "I'll go to the finance office to ask, you sit here and wait for me first."
After he left, Qiu Huoming drank tea and flipped through a Kangxi dictionary on the table.
The door was half open. After a while, I suddenly heard a noise outside.
Qiu Huoming put down the dictionary and walked out.
I saw Xiao Xu who had been here before came again, this time there were two of them, and there was also an old man. They looked similar and it was obvious that they were father and son.
Director Fu was stopped as soon as he came out of the finance office.
The other party was holding a snakeskin burlap bag and said, "Director, here are 30,000 yuan as a deposit. I will pay you the full amount within the next week..." The speaker was Lao Xu.
This family is really efficient. They brought the money in such a short time.
Director Fu stamped his feet and said, "It has indeed been sold, and the money has been transferred to me!"
"I don't believe it. I just asked about it yesterday. It's impossible that it was sold today. This is not a small amount of money!" Xiao Xu said with his neck stiff.
The finance officer from the finance office came out and explained, "The other party has indeed paid the full amount, so please don't embarrass Director Fu."
Old Xu and Little Xu looked at each other.
"Where is the thing? He hasn't given it to you, so just return the money to him and we promise to collect the money within a week." Lao Xu was calmer and directly put forward an unreasonable request.
"Old Fu, we've known each other for so long, why don't you give me any face at all?" It seems that Old Xu knows Director Fu, and their relationship is probably not very close, but he can still talk to him at least.
Come to think of it, otherwise Xiao Xu would come over often to copy sketchbooks, and I wouldn't let him go even if I didn't recognize him.
Director Fu glanced at Qiu Huoming. The real boss was here, and he couldn't respond at this critical moment.
"The contract has been signed. The penalty for breach of contract is one times the selling price, which is 40..." Director Fu glanced at Qiu Huoming again. He added the penalty for breach of contract later. At that time, he never thought that there would be competition for this thing, and he agreed to add it without hesitation.
I never expected that someone would actually intervene in this matter.
Qiu Huoming watched coldly. No matter what, he had the upper hand.
When the Xu family father and son heard that the penalty for breach of contract was 40 yuan, they were speechless.
The two of them discussed in low voices for a few sentences, and Lao Xu spoke again, "Lao Fu, if there is a lawsuit, I will be responsible. These days, contracts are nothing. As long as the things are not taken away by others, there is still room for negotiation..."
His words reminded Qiu Huoming that he planned to find the warehouse tomorrow and move the things away early to avoid being remembered by others.
The father and son over there never expected that the buyer was standing in front of them and raised their unreasonable demands in person. Even if Director Fu wanted to help them, he was helpless at the moment.
Seeing that Director Fu refused to respond no matter what they did, the Xu family father and son became angry.
"Okay, okay, even if you don't give it all to me, at least half for me and the buyer, right?" Lao Xu suggested again.
Director Fu shook his head. "I can't make the decision. How about this? You guys come back in a few days and I'll ask the buyer if I can transfer some to you..."
Lao Xu heard this and saw that he had softened his tone, so he immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll come back in two days and you can help me find out."
Director Fu finally sent the father and son away, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He walked quickly to Qiu Huoming's side and said, "You heard everything. I didn't give in, but..."
Director Fu took Qiu Huoming back to the office and closed the door. "Why don't you give them some of it? It's not much, just a token of your appreciation..."
Qiu Huoming shook his head. "No, I won't let him get even one painting. I know this kind of person. Once he starts talking, he won't be able to stop. Who will be held responsible if something goes wrong?"
Director Fu was stunned when he heard this. This made sense. When the Xu family became stubborn, they were really difficult to deal with.
