I Wore It Back After 60 Years

Chapter 102 Buying Paintings
Seeing that Li Xingxing and James were walking together, and they were dressed in expensive clothes, the salesperson reluctantly said: "We only entertain foreign friends, international sailors, overseas Chinese and their families, etc., and need to buy with foreign currency. Some 20 yuan a piece, some Xu Beihong’s is the most expensive, followed by Qi Baishi’s, and Huang Binhong’s is a few yuan per piece.”

Foreign currency purchase?

Li Xingxing did not!

She was really reluctant to bear these sky-high prices in the future, and she smiled sweetly at Zhao Haiyun with a flattering little face, "Comrade Zhao, I don't need to be paid, not even a penny, can you let me buy things here? I especially I like these paintings, I want to buy some as a collection, but... I don't have any foreign currency."

Zhao Haiyun waved his hand: "I have it. You can buy whatever you want. I said I will pay for you, and I will pay the bill."

He brought a lot of foreign currency.

Hong Kong dollars, U.S. dollars, and British pounds are all available.

Li Xingxing became more courageous, pointed to the paintings on the wall and asked the salesperson, "Can I buy them all?"

The salesperson said blankly: "The paintings on the wall are worth several hundred yuan!"

"It's so cheap, I want them all!" Li Xingxing lay on the counter and urged the salesperson to make an order for her, "Comrade, if there are more, I don't mind buying a few more."

The Foreign Friends Service Department has the task of earning foreign currency, as long as Li Xingxing buys with foreign currency, they are very happy.

For Li Xingxing, opportunities can be met but not sought, and he may not be able to step here again in the future.

She seized this opportunity and quickly bought 97 calligraphy and paintings by famous modern masters, another calligraphy and painting by famous ancient masters and a Ru kiln brush washer, spending a total of 430 six yuan.

Li Keran's paintings cost a few yuan a foot, while Liu Bingsen's paintings cost only a few cents.

Qi Baishi's works are obviously more popular with foreign friends, because more than half of them are his paintings, and the proportion of Xu Beihong's works is less than half of his, but the price is much higher than Qi Baishi's.

The most expensive one is actually the famous ancient painting by Song Huizong.

This is the real big profit!

Li Xingxing smiled sweetly holding a bundle of scrolls.

She got rich, she can definitely get rich, and she will be Li Collector Star in the future!

Hey!
Seeing her buying nearly a hundred paintings at one go, Zhao Haiyun couldn't help but look sideways: "Comrade Xiao Li, do you like calligraphy and painting?"

"I like it! My calligraphy is very good. I am good at facial features and thin gold styles. In terms of art, I like meticulous painting and oil painting. Ink painting is very average." The old man taught him, holding a small pointer every day, Li Xingxing beat the child to learn two teary.

Tears are not shed in vain. Among her peers, few people can surpass her in painting and calligraphy.

Otherwise, how could she immediately believe that all the paintings on the wall were genuine?
Thanks to the old man!
Zhao Haiyun heard the words and said: "When I was a child, I was poor and had no chance to go to school. Later, when I became rich, I hired a teacher to learn how to read, but I didn't develop a good handwriting. Therefore, I especially admire scholars, calligraphers and painters. In this way, Comrade Xiao Li, here are the four treasures of the study and various paints, I will give you a set of the best ones, and you will give me two of your own works tomorrow."

"No problem!" Li Xingxing couldn't get out the Four Treasures of the Study and paints that he often used, so he wanted to buy a set for a long time.

Zhao Haiyun paid the bill, she couldn't wish for it.

Hee hee hee, taking advantage again!
Taking advantage is really addictive!
Zhao Haiyun said to her again: "If you are free, you can visit Rongbaozhai and Heping Painting Store, where you can buy and sell cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings, and you can buy the works of the painters you just bought."

Li Xingxing listened and kept it in his heart, "Thank you, Comrade Zhao, for reminding me. I'll go and have a look when I get back."

Now, her main task is still to accompany the James couple.
