Master descends to earth

Chapter 86 Sword No.1

For the next half month, the Su family sword shop seemed to be open, and it was overcrowded all day long. Not only were there admiring customers from all over the world, but there were also many swordsmiths who wanted to join. Even Xu Kui was busy and complained endlessly.

There are three swordsmiths from the land list, and six swordsmiths from the celebrity list officially joined. Although there are many applicants, Su Yuan has also raised the selection criteria at the same time. !
In the end, [-] swordsmiths joined the Su Family Sword Shop, more than half of them were masters, well-known senior swordsmiths in Longquan.

Immediately, the Su family sword shop became the most powerful force in Longquan, far surpassing the three major families, and the brand effect increased.After all, many people themselves have market appeal, and now everyone is working together as a group, which is definitely an effect of one plus one greater than three.

Liu Sheng Huimei saw the business opportunity and bought three storefronts in other downtown areas at one go, preparing to open a branch store. She was ambitious to build the Sujia Sword Shop into a national chain, and Longquan was the base camp.

Su Yuan looked at the little girl's ambitious state, and didn't stop her. The happiest thing for a person is to be able to turn his dream into a career. He has a deep understanding of this.

I am not omnipotent, and the system can only solve technical problems. One hero has three helpers. Since there are talents around him, it is a bastard not to take advantage of it.

On the contrary, the core competitiveness is always in the hands of others. It is only a dream for others to grab it. The more money the better, even if you lie on it and eat bank interest, it will be cool, right?
Instead, Su Yuan became the hands-off shopkeeper. It was rare for him to be quiet for a few days to study new skills. Since he got the system, he opened his eyes every day to complete the task, and now he can finally have a few days of leisure.

A year is still early, and it is not easy to get famous overseas with a few words, and there is no specific plan for how to implement it.However, since the challenge of the Tianbang was completed, the workshop has one more customer, who must come every day.

Su Yuan looked at Shen Huanwen who showed up on time every day as if clocking in at work, and joked: "Brother Shen, you are also the second boss of the Shen family after all, don't you feel bad for being so idle every day?"

Shen Huanwen glared and scolded with a smile: "You say that I'm just the second child, with a big brother on top and a younger brother on the bottom. It's worth wasting time on such a trivial matter of shit?"

With his head held high, he said domineeringly: "A great craftsman, like a scientist, breaks away from low-level interests, how can he waste his limited life on boring things?"

Su Yuan gave a thumbs up, he didn't expect that the Shen family's strongest swordsmith was actually a joker!

The other day after the challenge, the other party came directly to my door and started discussing techniques and sharing their experiences with me.I was wary at first, but after talking with him, I found that the old man was simple-minded, so simple that he only saw sword-making.

Like Xu Kui, even getting married and having children is considered a waste of time. Although he is over sixty years old, he has been working for more than eight hours a day.

After going back and forth, the two became close friends, especially Su Yuan, who couldn't keep up with others in horseback riding at the real level, so if there is a chance to steal a teacher, don't hurry up!
Shen Huanwen looked at the ordinary sword that had been consecrated by the combination of hardness and softness, and couldn't help sighing: "As expected of sword cultivation, after the blessing of top-quality yellow mud and cold spring water, even ordinary swords can be brave and diligent, it's incredible!"

Su Yuan smiled without saying a word, the consecration became more and more handy, but the yellow mud and cold spring water did have effects, but not as strong.

Suddenly remembered something, took out a bronzing invitation card, handed it to Shen Huanwen, and asked, "This was sent from Hong Kong Island two days ago, look..."

"Huh? Wanjian Villa!" Shen Huanwen was taken aback, opened the invitation, and said with a smile, "That old fellow Huangfujiang is really well-informed. He deserves to be the No. 1 sword collection."

To say that this Huangfujiang is a master, as long as he is a swordsman, he will definitely be ranked No. 1!

Top sword collector, multinational executive director, already a billionaire as early as the 80s of last century.At the same time, he is also the domestic intellectual property legal advisor and the only authorized wine appraiser of the world's eight foreign wine companies.

Well-known weapon consultant, connoisseur of western antique watches and jewelry, one of the players with the most cufflinks.He is also a columnist for many collections and fashion magazines, a staunch animal protector, and a frequent guest at charity galas.

He has collected swords and swords for 30 years, and has traveled to dozens of countries and regions in Europe, America and Asia. In 1998, he established the Ba Dao Zhai Sword Forum, which has now developed into the most professional ancient weapon research forum.He is the author of the book "Sword and Sword Record", which is well-known throughout Southeast Asia.

For sword collectors, there are two holy places: one is the Forbidden City, and the other is Wanjian Villa in Huangfu River!
The two returned to the lobby, drank tea and chatted. Shen Huanwen put down the invitation card and recalled: "It's been ten years since I saw Huangfujiang. I also went to Wanjian Villa several times in the early years. heat treatment and forging experts."

"He once said that when he was in school, he was obsessed with martial arts novels like many boys. The characters in the films of Bruce Lee, Zi Sanshiro, Jin Yong, and Gu Long inspired his wonderful imagination."

"After earning money, I happened to be a guest in a friend's castle in France. The owner showed him the collection of Arabian machetes and other swords. A kind of collection is also a kind of culture.”

"Since then, I have been out of control and embarked on the road of sword collection. At the beginning, I liked the beautiful and exquisite craft swords the most, and then I liked Western swords and Japanese samurai swords. I fell in love with traditional swords 20 years ago. Not only because of his intimacy with his own culture, but also because of his shrewdness and competitive nature in collecting.”

Su Yuan was taken aback, what does this mean?
Shen Huanwen took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "At that time, Western and samurai swords were popular in foreign antique shops. Traditional swords were very cheap, but in China, they were even more niche, and almost no one collected those rusty looking gadgets. , not to mention any research works.”

"I still remember that when I went to the countryside [-] or [-] years ago, the peasants would often bring out a large bundle of rusty unearthed swords and swords. They didn't need to pick them with their hands at all, and they just pulled out a pile with their feet and said they wanted it."

"On average, one is only a dozen yuan, and it is an ancient sword from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Now when I go there to buy things, the price given by the peasants is almost the same as the bid at Sotheby's auction house, and it is tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. .”

Shen Huanwen sighed: "I admire Huangfu Jiang's obsession with sword collection, which is no worse than our swordsmiths. When he was the most enthusiastic more than ten years ago, he traveled to cultural relics stores and second-hand markets in the north and south of the river. Hundreds of thousands."

"I used to fly around the world to start a collection operation. About a week, I set off from Guangzhou and went around the United States-Germany-Malaysia-Hong Kong Island-Guangzhou to buy back nine ancient swords and swords, including a long-awaited Persian water pattern. A Damascus long blade and an ancient sword from the mid-Ming Dynasty."

"After decades of accumulation, a powerful information network has been formed in the circle. As long as it is a traditional sword transaction in the world's major antique markets, it can be known within 24 hours, regardless of its quality or origin."

"Later, I simply renamed my villa Wanjian Villa, imitating the scenes in Gu Long's novels. Now the collection is comparable to any national museum in the world, and it also has the largest number of Qing Dynasty royal swords except the Palace Museum."

Su Yuan nodded, he was also very impressed with Huangfu Jiang, collection is only one aspect, the most admirable thing is the research and arrangement of swords.

Especially the Sword Record, which is regarded as the earliest and most comprehensive book on swords and swords in China. Just like Wang Shixiang's contribution to Ming-style furniture, he can be regarded as one of Su Yuan's first teachers.
