Chapter 291 [Yanyan is here]
Xilichang. Jingyue Pavilion.
Ten o'clock in the morning is the time for business. Every one or two minutes, one or two people would open the antique wooden door in the store and walk up slowly. I sat behind the counter on the first floor, choosing a cup of steaming black coffee, learning from Zou Jiao's unique expression when selling things, narrowing my eyes into a thin slit, then turned the cup and sipped a sip of bitter coffee, exhaling the heat, and sat quietly in front of a huge plaque with the words "Jingyue Pavilion" hanging in the store. In addition to being stunned, I was still stunned. "Hey, has this antique company changed its name?"
"What do you think of?" Not far ahead, Zou Yue'e was calling out to a guest who had just entered the house. Beijingers always like to put some words that should be said in the front and say them at the back. They also like to eat and swallow the words. Now Aunt Zou is full of Beijing accent. If you don't know, you must think she is a genuine old Beijing.
The middle-aged man looked at Aunt Zou's pretty face in amazement and said, "Do you have small pieces of porcelain in folk kilns?" "Of course there is, please come here." Zou Yue'e led him to the booth to the west for a few seconds.
Teacher Zhen smiled and carefully took out a small plate and a small bowl from the counter, and placed it on the counter covered with velvet cloth. The middle-aged man knew the rules very well and asked if he could get started. After seeing Zou Yue'e nodding, he picked up the small bowl and looked at it repeatedly. Soon, he nodded with satisfaction, put it down, picked up the small plate and looked at it. After a few minutes, he looked up in surprise. Several pieces of porcelain and letters placed on the surface around his eyes. "Boss, the things in your store are good. Is that the Liuling Flower Mouth Wash? The official kiln of the Song Dynasty? That one over there is a painting by Mr. Qi Baishi? And the Xuande Furnace? Not imitated by the Ming and Qing Dynasties?" Jin Yue'e smiled: "Our new store is open, and there is definitely nothing to say. You can no longer say anything at will. "How to sell this small plate?"
Zou Yue'e winked with Teacher Zhen, then said, "Pine and crane plate, this is blue and white underglaze red. If you like it, take it away for 2,500 yuan." The middle-aged man hesitated and said, "Do you sell it for 2,000 yuan?" Aunt Zou smiled bitterly and said, "I'm going to hide it from you, 2,000 yuan, the cost we charge is more than this "...that 2,300 yuan."
After hesitating for a long time, Zou Yue'e nodded reluctantly and said, "Okay, you are an expert in the world and we won't make money anymore. You have to patronize our business in the future. It's better to bring us a few repeat customers back, haha." "Okay, this is no problem. Your things are so good, needless to say, I will tell my friends that the things will be sold soon.
But I was very depressed when I looked at it. I saw that antiques have the same eyesight as Teacher Zhen, and I am not as good as Aunt Zou’s methods of selling things and winning customers. So, in the past two days since the opening, I have become a idler in the antiques business and can’t help anything, so I can only stare at me.
Screaming, the door opened again.
Two foreigners came in outside, a man and a woman, and I don’t know if they were Americans or British.
I was immediately excited and urgently needed to prove my value, so I quickly came forward, iie dagger o
The foreigner smiled and said, "he daggeroo"
I said in broken English: "I'm afraid of oil after cutting cancer?" After that, I glanced at Zou Yue'e and Teacher Zhen with smugness. Look, buddy knows English, do you two know? Uh, but my original intention was to ask two foreigners, you want to buy something, but I'm a sophomore dropout, and I haven't even passed the English CET-4. I forgot to say that sentence, so I temporarily changed it to "What can I do to help you" words. The female foreigner was very happy and sang: "Xi Yi¥●o1'4¥!xodd, OK?" I had two big heads, and only understood the last one. "Pu Li died,!:d\}!i, Niu Kuang's foreigner slowed down a little, and said a bunch of words that I couldn't understand.
I = "Yi
Zou Yue'e gave me a funny look, walked up, and communicated with the two foreigners in English and gestures. At the end, she brought the two of them to the cabinet east. Aunt Zou took out a purple clay teapot and pointed it inquiringly. The two foreigners immediately nodded in a slight manner, and then grabbed the purple clay teapot and looked at it. When discussing the price, Aunt Zou gestured a five-way gesture. The two foreigners didn't know whether they understood it or not, so they threw down five hundred dollars. Aunt Zou smiled and nodded, handing the money and delivering the goods with one hand. The transaction process was quite smooth. I was so embarrassed that I felt slapped in the face by **. My buddy is a college student after all, why is it worse than a high school student? The more I think about it, the more embarrassed I simply turned my head to the second floor and sat down with my mother.
Jingyue Pavilion has not been newly renovated, and it is still used in the original layout, but the layout of the antiques inside is based on Teacher Zhen's suggestion. The several porcelain, calligraphy, painting, bronzes on the first floor are all worth millions of dollars, to attract the attention of customers entering the door, so that they know that there are "goods" in Jingyue Pavilion. The rest are mostly low-priced antiques or high-quality imitations, accounting for about half and half. Although it is only divided into 50% or 50% of them, such a true or false ratio is definitely rare in antique shops, which is quite considerable. As for the second floor, this is the place where Zhuyue Pavilion really puts things. Just look at the two rows of safes worth more than one million yuan on the south wall. Tan Li is all "mom." The stairs on the second floor are a bit aged, and the wood under your feet crunched.
The sound was "What book are you reading?" My mother took some books away from her face and looked at me and said, "I turned it out of your drawer in the morning, antique books, and porcelain introductions." I said, "I have studied it for more than half a year but haven't gotten started. Why are you wasting your time?
My mother glared at me and said, "Don't you fart, I'm keeping pace with the times. You insisted that I quit my job in Tea City. I don't have to find something to do?" I smiled and poured her a cup of tea. "Your business is to collect money, nothing else."
As soon as I mentioned, my mother was happy, "Haha, don't say it, this antique business is profitable, it's much more than a beauty salon. Look at how many days we have opened, so we have sold more than ten things. Oh, there is also an official kiln, which is two million yuan. I remember you only received one and six million yuan. Well, according to this momentum, I think the net income of over one million yuan per month is less said.
If you make a little better, it’s not a problem to have a thousand or eight million.”
I smiled bitterly: "It's not that easy."
My mother looked at me: "Why isn't it easy?"
I coughed, glanced secretly at the stairs, and then lay down on my mother's ear and whispered: "I didn't dare to tell Yue'e about the antiques I received. Actually, I didn't buy them from the market. Even if there were them on the market, I couldn't afford such a low price. It was all Teacher Yan who helped me. Some of her antiques in the antiques store also looked at her face and did not take the things to the auction, but sold them directly. Even a large part of our antiques are from Sister Yan. She directly sold them at 80% of the market price."
Upon hearing this, my mother looked at me viciously, "You little bastard, you have a lot of strength. You have fascinated Teacher Yan so much that he can't fight in the southeast, southwest and north?"
I was so scared that I oh "Don't talk nonsense. Yun'er is not soundproof, so let Yue'e hear it again!" "I'm afraid that Yue'e will not play with fire when she knows you!"
"Oh, didn't I say that Sister Yan and I have nothing to do, but I'm just an ordinary sibling relationship. It's normal for her to help me if I open a store. Besides, Sister Yan's family has limited things and cannot keep supplying us at low prices. That is, when it's just opened, we have to rely on ourselves in the future. Therefore, the situation in the store is not as good as you think. We have to find more sources of goods." My mother snorted, "Anyway, I don't understand the business matters, you and Yue'e are doing it. I'll quit my mother, "Sister Yan supplies our family, don't tell Yue'e."
My mother suddenly kicked me up and said, "Yue'er's head is so clever. She can guess it if you don't say it. Let me tell you, don't be smart all the time. You can communicate with Yue'er more. She is not a brain-wrenching person. You put the truth there and say that you are in contact with Teacher Yan purely for the benefit of our family. I don't believe Yue'er can't figure it out. Who thinks money is too hot?" I rolled my eyes and took my mother's words as wind in my ears.
The truth is the truth. Even if Yue'e understands it, she will inevitably put on my shoes in private, so I will just sit on wax. "Hey, tell the truth to mom." My mother looked at me in a low voice: "You really scared Teacher Yan?"
My face turned hot, "What do you mean? We are siblings. Last time, it was Yue'e who misunderstood. Didn't I explain it?"
My mother kicked me angrily, "I don't bother with you, just don't care about you if you like to say something, just don't cause trouble for me!"
I said, "What can I do? By the way, go home for lunch or make do with it? Why not go to the old Beijing sauce noodle restaurant next to me, which is convenient and easy to deal with." "Whatever, okay, go there, don't hinder my mother's study." My mother knocked me over Qiao, picked up the book again, and looked at it in a fake manner. I curled my lips and walked upstairs boredly, touched this and looked at that. Suddenly, Aunt Zou's shout came from downstairs: "Husband, come down, something is wrong." As soon as I agreed, I quickly went downstairs.
I saw Zou Yue'e wearing the sable coat worth more than 100,000 yuan that I gave her, "Jing, I'll go out to visit other antique shops in Liulichang, inquire about the situation, and make more friends. Our store is not enough staff. If you encounter any antiques that you can't get, you can also ask your neighbors to help you. There are many people and multiple roads. Well, I'll go first. When you come back later, you can help Teacher Zhen greet the guests. We have ordered the price of each item, and you can just sell it as much as possible. It doesn't matter if you want more or less."
I took care of her sable collar, "Okay, go early and come back early, wait for you to have a meal."
Zou Yue'e hmmed, "If you see someone who knows it, give him real things, and make the reputation of our store. If you see foreigners, you will use imitations. Anyway, they don't linger in China. Don't lie to them. Remember, I'm going, don't drive, and you can contact me by phone if you have any questions. You can't say that Aunt Zou is too bad. Antiques are like this. Fakes are the most profitable things.
As soon as Zou Yue'e was right, I sat down at her seat and sipped. The wine she had just drunk, huh, it was so spicy, the degree was too high. This was the wine that Aunt Zou got from a beauty salon customer. The lady's husband runs a winery. Beijingers call this wine runoff, which is Erguotou raw pulp, which is about 70 or 80 yuan. Generally, it is sold in Beijing braised restaurants, but it is prohibited to sell it in regular places such as the market and shopping malls, so they can only ask someone to get it from the winery. Alas, this vixen, I don't want anything else, and I know how to drink! I was worried that this irregular raw pulp would be too harmful to my body. I frowned, so I hugged a wine jar under my feet and walked to the south wall, opened an empty safe, and hid the wine in.
Teacher Zhen was amused at first sight, "If Yue'e knew that you were touching her wine, she would be anxious when she came back. She was so precious to this wine."
I said, "Then I can't give her drinks today. When I was having breakfast in the morning, she drank half a pound of Wuliangye alone." Suddenly, the door creaked, and the three girls walked in with a smile. "Jingyue Pavilion, it seems like a new store here, I haven't heard of the name." "Sister Yanyan, come in quickly, it's so warm inside."
When I heard Yanyan, I was stunned for a moment and looked up at the door. The black one was long, with a giggle smile, and a lively outfit. Isn’t it Jiang Yan? My heart was beating a few times, and I thought I dreamed of her last night. Today, Yanyan hadn’t visited Liulichang. God’s will! I was afraid that she would run away when she saw me, so I quietly moved my body sideways and moved to the shadow of the cabinet.
One of the 17**-year-old girls pointed their hand in front: "Wow, I read that right, is that Xuande Lu?"
"Xiao Lu, don't embarrass your little eyesight, well, let's take a look." Jiang Yan didn't notice me behind the counter, and directly pulled the two of them to the glass booth on the side, looked at it calmly, Jiang Yan suddenly called me, "It seems to be true!" When she looked left and right, she shouted again: "Damn it! Qi Baishi's painting!" The girl named Xiao Lu was amazed: "What's this place? The things are really good.
Jiang Yan took his eyes carelessly on Teacher Zhen, "Boss, you have... Hey, why do you think you look familiar? Uh, I remembered that I have seen you with Yu Nie Pavilion. By the way, do you have Ming and Qing dynasties here? It doesn't matter whether you have new and old workers. Take a look at a few of them."
Teacher Zhen said ok, took out four pieces from an open safe under his feet and placed them on the table.
Jiang Yan walked over with a smile, "Xiao Lu, Jing Jing, you two choose, just talk if you like it, and think it's my birthday gift for you two." Xiao Lu laughed and said, "Sister Yan Yan, you are too stingy. I want that Xuande Furnace, okay?" Jing Jing also said, "I want Qi Baishi's painting!"
Jiang Yan made a fainting move, "Go to Xuande Lu? I can't afford it even if I sell you two, so I'll stay there!" After that, Jiang Yan touched Xiao Lu's butt very roguely and said, "Select quickly, or I can change my mind, there's no need to give away Ming and Qing cards!" Xiao Lu looked at Jingjing, "Sister Rogue, don't be polite." Jiang Yan laughed and scolded: "You are just a rogue, your whole family is a rogue!"
Xiaolu grimaced at her, then picked up the Ming and Qing signs and looked at it happily. Jingjing also came over, "This piece of carving is good, Yuke is OK, but it seems to be a new worker, uncle, how much is this?"
Teacher Zhen smiled and said, "It's a new worker, give it to three thousand."
Jingjing uh, "It's too expensive."
Xiaolu echoed, "Yes, uncle, you see, we are still high school students, and we don't make any money. Please give us a little cheaper, okay?"
Teacher Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "Three thousand is already very low. Please ask Liulichang what kind of Ming and Qing brand is not sold for four or five thousand?" Jingjing pouted and said, "Then forget it, are there any cheaper ones?"
Jiang Yan quit, "Hey, you two little guys, don't save me prophecy. I finally lived this day in this life. If you like it, buy it."
Xiao Lubai glanced at her: "My dad told me that there was something wrong with Uncle Jiang's business recently. How could we let you spend so much prophecy?" Jiang Yan glared at her: "I can't tell you, you little girl is quite sensible." "Hehe, that's right, if it's less than fifty, I won't let the gangster sister down to the prophecy.
At this time, I walked out of the side of the cabinet and pretended to say, "Oh, how many of you want to buy Ming and Qing brands?"
When Jiang Yan saw me, her originally smiling face suddenly collapsed. She had a dark face and stared at me fiercely. Xiao Lu didn't pay attention to Jiang Yan's reaction and looked at me and said, "I want to buy it because I want to buy it, but it's too expensive."
I laughed and picked up the two new jade tablets on the table. "That's okay, these two are right? Okay, I'll give you fifty dollars to finish."
Xiaolu and Jingjing widened their eyes: "Fifty? Fifty RMB? Do you have the final say? I said: "I am the boss here, so of course I have the final say."
Teacher Zhen looked at me suspiciously, coughed, and didn't ask any more questions. He turned around and went back to the counter and continued reading the newspaper.
Xiaolu shouted, fearing that I would regret it, immediately took out a hundred yuan from her pocket and slapped it on the table, "No need to find it!" Then she grabbed the Ming and Qing cards and happily distributed it to Jingjing. "Haha, pick up a big bargain, hurry up, pack it up."
Jingjing hesitated and said, "This, isn't that good?"
Xiao Green said: "What's wrong with it? The boss said he's fifty, right? Sister Yanyan? Hey? Sister rogue? What's wrong with you? What's your eyes?"
I blinked and said, "Yanyan, you can choose one too?"
Jiang Yan gritted her teeth and said, "Use it! No! Let's go!"
Xiaolu suddenly realized: "Wow, it turns out that the rogue sister knows the boss here. I said, why are they selling me for fifty years?"
Chapter completed!
