Volume 2 Meritorious Cao Chapter 069 Leaders Inspect Gu Xiangxuan
The morning sun has just risen, and the fiery red sunlight shines into the alley.
The low courtyard walls, the back walls of the residents in front, and the road paved with black debris all glow with a peaceful tone under the sunlight, making people walk among them or look into the alleys from the street.
It really feels like the purple energy is coming from the east.
The courtyard door of Xu Zhengyang's house was closed, and a large brass-colored lock was tightly locked on the hanging rings and door chains stained with traps.
At the entrance of the alley, on the edge of the street, Xu Neng and Yuan Suqin, dressed neatly, stood there looking south.
Xu Neng is wearing a brand new brown short-sleeved shirt, black and blue trousers, and shiny black leather shoes. Well, I have to say a few more words to describe this image that has the characteristics of an older generation in the countryside. His newly shaved hair
He is short and has a clean beard, but the wrinkles on his face and the slightly embarrassed and uncomfortable eyes make him still look rustic; the most prominent thing should be the image of him wearing pants, as a rural saying goes.
It is said to be tucked in, that is to say, the shirt is tucked into the pants. Well, the brand new black belt is used to pull up the pants so high, probably above the lower abdomen and close to the chest.
Yuan Suqin dressed up deliberately today. She was wearing a gold necklace, gold earrings, and rings, all in complete condition. Her hair, which was not too long, was tied into a short braid. She looked very energetic. She also wore a short-sleeved shirt that her daughter Xu Rouyue bought for her.
The shirt has a black bottom with large flowers in blue, white and red printed on it, and is also embroidered with gold edges, which sparkle in the sun. The lower body is wearing loose black cropped pants and black semi-high-heeled shoes. And
The difference in her husband's expression was that she didn't look uncomfortable at all, but rather felt smug and proud.
Several neighbors came out of their homes carrying rice bowls, ready to gather together to eat and chat.
Seeing Xu Neng and his wife dressed like this, they both looked surprised and greeted each other with smiles:
"Hey, Sister-in-law Suqin, are you going to visit relatives today?"
"Tsk, tsk, brother Xu Neng is dressed fashionably today, and he looks more than ten years younger."
Xu Neng was a little embarrassed and smiled sheepishly.
Yuan Suqin was different. She raised her face and answered with a proud smile: "What kind of relatives are you visiting? I'm going to go to the city today. My family in Zhengyang has opened an antique shop in the city. This is so fast.
It’s been three months and I haven’t been there yet. I’m going to have a look today.”
"Really? This kid Zhengyang has a lot of potential, you two are lucky!"
"Yeah, yeah, I've said it before, that kid from Zhengyang is smart and capable. Now, he's going to open a shop in the city!"
“What’s the purpose of an antique collection?”
Xu Neng smiled and waved his hands and said: "This kid is messing around, it's nothing, it's nothing."
"Well, you don't even know about antique shops? They collect and sell antiques. Have you ever heard of antiques? They are very valuable." Yuan Suqin was not as low-key and honest as her husband. She walked over and chatted with a few neighbors to show off.
, "Originally, the couple of us thought, how far can we walk to the roadside? It only takes a few minutes, just walk to the roadside and take the bus, but that dead kid Zhengyang
He said he was afraid that I would be tired and had to call a taxi to pick him up. Please tell me, this is not a waste of money..."
As a result, the neighbors showed envy and jealousy in their eyes, praising Yuan Suqin for her good fortune and her promising son.
Then the person asked how much the clothes cost. Where did they buy them? The person asked about the gold necklace, gold earrings, and rings. Did your son buy them all? How much did they cost?
Yuan Suqin became more and more proud, happily but low-key, introducing and showing off with pretense of embarrassment.
Xu Nengqiang smiled and stood not far away, watching his wife chatting with the neighbors, feeling more and more embarrassed. Even when visiting relatives, he had never dressed like this. Well, he has spent more than three hundred yuan in it for most of his life.
A pair of leather shoes, trousers costing more than 200 yuan a pair, a sweatshirt costing more than 600 yuan a piece, and a belt costing more than 100 yuan each. "Ever since I bought them, I have never been willing to wear them.
Why does it look so awkward to wear on my body? It’s not suitable for sitting or standing.
A black Poussin car drove from the south and stopped at the entrance of the alley. Xu Zhengyang got out of the car, and the driver drove the car to the front and turned around.
The neighbors all greeted Xu Zhengyang with smiles and compliments, and asked how much money they could make by opening a store in Zehe City. Why don't they often see you in the store on weekdays?
Xu Zhengyang smiled and replied that it was nothing, he didn't make much money, and there were people in the store watching.
Yuan Suqin said: "Well, I've said this to him several times. Let's take good care of our own store. Why do we have to spend money to hire people to look after the store? This kid insists on hiring people. You guys say, this is not a waste of money.
,
The neighbors all laughed and said that it is like this nowadays. How can a boss do his own work? They all hire people, and the boss just takes care of people and collects money. Have you seen Han Dashan in his cement products factory?
Do you want to work with a shovel?
Xu Zhengyang smiled naively and didn't explain anything. He knew that his mother had this kind of temperament. As long as she was happy, she would show off if she wanted to. Anyway, it wasn't bragging. The family was really rich, and the shops in Luohe City were indeed open. Although
, my mother's appearance is indeed a bit like a nouveau riche, which will make these neighbors feel uncomfortable.
So what? Loving someone is something that none of you would envy.
After a few more polite words, Xu Zhengyang urged his parents to get in the car.
As the family of three got on the bus, Yuan Suqin did not forget to wave goodbye to the neighbors through the car window.
Santana quickly drove out of the village.
In the car, Xu Neng said: "You are here, why are you showing off? You are making people laugh."
"A joke? What's the joke?" Yuan Suqin curled her lips disdainfully and said, "They used to laugh at us, but now you look at how fawning they all are. I just made them angry on purpose. Have you forgotten that they used to talk all the time?
Are you trying to bully our family by talking inside and outside?"
"Oh, you have such wild thoughts. No one is trying to support us." Xu Neng sighed, knowing in his heart that what his wife said was true.
Yuan Suqin didn't say anything more, just smiled, and chatted with her son sitting in front of her about the store in Chenghe City: Do you want your mother to come over and help you look after the store? There must be someone in our family.
Don’t worry, right? After all, my mother can’t do anything else and will clean the store’s main office for you every day.”
Xu Zhengyang chatted with his mother dumbfounded.
Taking my parents to the store in Zehe City today was really a helpless move.
His mother kicked him out of the house every day for the past two days and asked him to go to the store to watch. Your father and I will go there last night and tomorrow. After all, my son has opened a store. Although he opened it in partnership with others,
After all, he is also half the boss. The parents have never been there. Will he not make people laugh when he talks to the neighbors in the future?
Xu Zhengyang had no choice but to agree. It was only natural that his parents should go and have a look at his shop.
It’s been open for so long and my parents haven’t even been there, which is really hard to explain.
So early in the morning he called a taxi driver in Zetou Town who often worked at the Chengfeng intersection and asked him to pick up people for a trip to Zehe City.
After all, he was a member of the joint defense team at the Zetou Town Police Station, so all the local taxi drivers handed him his business card.
In fact, although Xu Zhengyang is half the owner of "Guxiangxuan", he really hasn't been to "Guxiangxuan" very much. Secondly, since the antique shop opened!, he has no time to care about the store system. He only wants to go to the capital to see his sister off and come back.
I have been busy working on the case of Hao Peng's drug gang. In the past few days, I have been reading books every day and thinking about the application of divine power and various responsibilities and obligations of gods. The purpose is naturally the matter of Cheng Jinchang and Cui Yao. It is not him.
I'm so stupid that I haven't figured it out clearly after thinking about it for so long, and I don't want to try it first. But Tian Qingxie Yufen and his wife are still in the detention center. Before the case is fully investigated and closed, they are like this
Criminal suspects will never be released.
However, seeing that Cheng Jinchang and Cui Yao's days were numbered, Xu Zhengyang felt a little anxious, but he couldn't go to Zhong Shan directly and tell them not to investigate Tian Qing and Xie Yufen, and let them go. First of all, this is
The words cannot be said out loud, and secondly, who knows if he can really bring back the soul?
So he is considering whether to think of other candidates or alternatives.
After chatting along the way, we soon arrived at the antique market on the north side of Fuxing Street, Fuxing District, Zehe City.
After getting off the bus, Xu Zhengyang led his parents to "Guxiangxuan".
It's not yet nine o'clock, and the sun has already risen. There are not many people coming and going in the antique market. Some shop clerks are standing at the door chatting with their colleagues, here and there.
Several cars were parked in front of several shops. There were three rows of stalls in the middle of the market, mostly selling handicrafts and folk secondhand goods.
Only the rival shops on three sides of the market are where the real antiques are found.
As Xu Zhengyang walked, he briefly introduced to his parents what each store in the market mainly deals with, what antiques they classified, etc.
Even if he is learning now and selling it now, he only knows these simple things because he only got some tips from Yao Chushun.
"Hey, look how good that store is! It's the biggest and most impressive one!" Yuan Suqin said, pointing to Tianbaozhai in the south.
"Well, we are the largest antique store in Zehe City and also famous in the whole province." Xu Zhengyang nodded and said.
"Really? Which store is yours? It will be great when you can open such a big store." Yuan Suqin asked with emotion.
Xu Zhengyang pointed to Guxiangxuan, which was not far away, and said: "Then, that's the one, Guxiangxuan is it."
Xu Neng and Yuan Suqin looked along Xu Zhengyang's fingers.
The Guxiangxuan store is not large in size, especially among the rows of stores, it stands out, especially the antique exterior decoration, which makes it stand out.
"It's not bad, I think it's not much worse than that store." Yuan Suqin nodded with satisfaction and couldn't help but speed up her steps.
"How much does it cost for such a big store?" Xu Neng asked worriedly.
"A rented house." Xu Zhengyang smiled.
"Oh, the rent is expensive?"
"Not expensive, more than 80,000 yuan a year,"
"What?" Xu Neng was shocked, then lowered his head and frowned. He didn't feel like asking any more questions, but he felt really bad and distressed.
While talking, he had already reached the door of Guxiangxuan. Xu Zhengyang stepped forward and opened the door, then turned sideways to let his parents go in first.
Yuan Suqin walked in happily, while Xu Neng looked around, wondering what's so good about this store? Why is it so expensive? The rent of more than 80,000 yuan a year is enough to build such a large two-story building.
.
"Hey, uncle and aunt, do you want to buy something? Or do you have some treasures that you want to sell?"
When Jin Qiming, the clerk in the store, saw someone coming in, he stood up and greeted Xu Zhengyang with a smile. Then he saw Xu Zhengyang and said hurriedly: "Brother Yang, you are here."
"Hey." Xu Zhengyang nodded and introduced: "These are my parents, come to the store to have a look."
"Ah, uncle, aunt, hello." Jin Qiming looked surprised and happy, and hurriedly came from behind the counter, greeted Yuan Suqin and his wife to sit next to the glass round table, and then made tea and water, "Uncle,
Auntie, I have been thinking about opening a store for so long, and I haven't seen your two elders come here. I was thinking about it just now, but I never thought that your elders would come here."
Xu Zhengyang smiled beside him and said: "Dad, Mom, this is Xiao Jin, the clerk in the store."
"This kid has such a sweet mouth and is very eloquent. He's a good guy. He's not a bad guy. How old is he?" Yuan Suqin obviously found it helpful to what Jin Qiming just said, and asked with a smile.
"Nineteen." Jin Qiming was very good at observing words and expressions, and immediately showed a slightly childish expression.
"Oh, you are so young." Yuan Suqin said cheerfully: "Do a good job, after the New Year is over, I will tell you a daughter-in-law."
Xu Neng and Xu Zhengyang looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Jin Qiming nodded obediently and said, "I'll go upstairs and call Uncle Yao."
Xu Zhengyang smiled and nodded, then sat down and softly introduced the various antique jade stones in the store to his parents.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, this, brothers and sisters are here, Zhengyang, you too, please call in advance!" Yao Chushun hurriedly came down from upstairs, stretched out his hands from afar, and walked to Xu Neng.
Son, his hands took the initiative to shake Xu Neng, who was still hesitating in embarrassment but did not raise his hand, "I have been complaining about Zhengyang for not bringing you here. It's just the right time to come here today. Let's book one at Yunlai Hotel at noon.
table
After the few people exchanged polite greetings, Xu Zhengyang saw Yao Chushun winking at him and called Jin Qiming to introduce various antiques and other things to his parents, while he and Yao Chushun went upstairs.
Xu Neng and Yuan Suqin didn't have any dissatisfaction with this. In their opinion, it was inconvenient for them to know too much about what the two bosses wanted to say when opening a store. Besides, they wouldn't understand it even in front of them.
.So the couple happily browsed in front of various counters in the store, listening to Jin Qiming's enthusiastic and detailed introduction to the origins, values, benefits, etc. of various antiques.
The second floor is divided into three small rooms, one is a small bedroom, one is used to display relatively expensive antiques, and the other is a small living room.
Sitting on the wicker chair, Xu Zhengyang lit a cigarette and smoked, smiling and saying: "Master Gu, what's wrong?".
"It's been a little weird these days!" Yao Chushun frowned and sighed.
"What? Bu Mingyuan sent someone to cause trouble again?" Xu Zhengyang asked.
"That's not true." Yao Chushun smiled and shook his head. A few days ago, Gao Mingyuan sent people to make trouble every day. He originally wanted to make Guxiangxuan's business unable to continue, but Yao Chushun took advantage of his plan and stood in front of him.
He chatted at the door with those who came to cause trouble, actually said some insider's words, and even boasted that was 70% true and 30% false. With his familiarity with antiques and his reputation in this industry, he actually managed to get around those troublemakers.
After getting into the conversation, I couldn't help but follow his train of thought. On the contrary, it seemed that the Guxiangxuan shop was bustling and bustling, a bit like a crowded place.
"The antiques in the store are selling very well these days. Guess what? All the dozen or so antiques you had were sold, as well as the few pieces of fine ancient jade that were originally kept in Jin Er's store.
"
"This is a good thing!" Xu Zhengyang said in surprise.
Yao Chushun said: "It is indeed a good thing to say that business is good. We sold nearly two million in a few days." Tianbaozhai's business is not that good, and it is not good if it is only going out but not coming in." Benli accounted for his salary.
The address was changed to: If the old one is old, then the mouth will be positive... Please be honest!
, Xu Zhengyang frowned. It seemed that he noticed something was wrong, so he frowned and asked, "Is it out of stock?"
"Well, I have nothing left to hand." Yao Chushun nodded and said, "Zhengyang, is your line running smoothly recently? Hurry up and get some goods! If there is no such thing in this antique shop,
It's not good to have something that is easy to get. If people get ready in our store, then the store will not be able to open in the future.
Xu Zhengyang frowned, thought about it, and said, "I'll contact you in the next few days."
"As soon as possible, the sooner the better." Yao Chushun nodded, and then said with some worry: "Zhengyang, do you think someone will deliberately come to buy our things, and then wait until the last treasure we sell here is gone?"
, and then come to attack our army?"
"Master Gu, your thinking is too complicated. I don't think there is any need to worry about this. He is just a general." Xu Zhengyang smiled and waved his hand and said, "If his subordinate Mingyuan is willing to spend money for us to make money, we will be happy to do so.
, As for the ones that come to you, it’s better to say clearly that these are the only things in the store, and there is nothing good at the moment, so you can buy it or not.
"That won't work." Yao Chushun shook his head and said, "If one or two respectable people come to our store every day to look at it, even if they don't buy it, there must be something good for people to see, otherwise our store will
My reputation was ruined in just a few days."
Xu Zhengyang frowned and thought about it. He didn't know anything about this business, and he really didn't know much about it.
Yao Chushun went on to say: "In fact, those who work in this industry are those who have a good reputation. There are not many in total. They and Gao Mingyuan have been in a relationship for many years." And in the past few days, people have come to the store to buy antiques.
, they were all novices, so I didn’t pay much attention to them at first, thinking that the business was good, and things were turning around, why not do the business? But the more I thought about it this morning, the less interesting it became. All we have left is the iron pear wood box.
I still have that luminous pearl that I can get my hands on."
"Oh. There are two more things to deal with first."
"What if someone comes to buy it today?" Yao Chushun said.
"Raise the price a bit, say one million for those who deserve one hundred thousand. If anyone is willing to suffer a dumb loss, let them go."
"If so, they want to see porcelain or jade
Xu Zhengyang thought for a while and said, "Well, I'll bring you a few pieces tomorrow."
"Really?" Yao Chushun looked surprised.
"Yeah." Xu Zhengyang nodded. He was still certain of this. There were still some pottery pots buried in a few places. They didn't dig them out, so they were ready-made items. "However, I'm not sure if I can get them."
.”
Yao Chushun's eyes darkened, and then he said: "Get it here first, then we'll talk about it. What's missing is the porcelain."
"Well, let me see if I can get some more. Don't sleep tonight, arrange a car and a reliable person, and wait for my call."
"Okay." Yao Chushun and Li Xuan nodded.
"Then let's do this for now. Go downstairs. I don't know much, and I don't know what to say to my parents. You go down and talk to them more. Oh, by the way, tell me about the money you have made these days.
"Your dad is such a jerk. He still wants to show off in front of your parents." Yao Chushun felt confident and spoke more casually.
"Nonsense! It's not just to make the two elders happy!" Xu Zhengyang laughed.
The two of them went downstairs with smiles on their faces.
only,,
The two of them looked relaxed on the surface, but in fact they were a little uneasy in their hearts.
Yao Chushun was still worried that someone was causing trouble, and there would be monsters if something went wrong; while Xu Zhengyang was not only worried about this, but also felt inexplicably uneasy, as if he felt like he was being watched.
This made him extremely unhappy!
Just like when he heard Jiang Lan explain in detail about his situation and that of his family in the capital, Xu Zhengyang felt that his and his family's personal safety had been threatened.
When the two went downstairs, Jin Qiming was taking out a pair of crystal clear jade pendants and telling the old couple their origins vividly. He also did not forget to please Yuan Suqin at the right time, saying that these jade pendants had been worn by the previous princess.
Son, Auntie, it will definitely be perfect for you to wear. You must ask Brother Zhengyang to buy it later. Oh no, this is originally Brother Zhengyang’s thing. Let him give it to you as a gift.
Yuan Suqin beamed with joy, and Xu Neng was coaxed by Jin Qiming to smile silly.
Xu Zhengyang smiled and scolded Jin Qiming, and then told his parents to ask Yao Chushun to tell you about the recent operating conditions of our store, how much profit there is in the antique industry, where the profits come from, etc.
Of course, what the old couple cared most about was how much money their son's shop could make, so they immediately stopped wondering about the antique jade stones, sat back in front of the table, and listened carefully to Yao Chushun's simple and easy-to-understand explanation of the antique shop.
Business experience. No matter whether you understand it or not, as long as you can hear about making money, you will understand it.
While they were chatting, the store door was pushed open and two people walked in while talking.
"Boss Gao, you didn't find anything interesting to me in Baozhai that day, can you find it here?" A fat, white man with a big belly and some bald hair said with a smile.
"Mr. Gu, what are you talking about? This is a new store opened by Yao Chushun, the old master of the past. With the name of Gu Ye, you should believe that there is a rare treasure in his store! Last time Mr. Zheng of Ronghua Group bought it
The pair of blue and white dragons and phoenixes pierced through the lotus jars came out of the hands of Master Zi Gu."
Following the middle-aged man was the boss of Tianbaozhai, Bu Mingyuan.
"Master Gu? Yao Chushun? How many years has it been since he disappeared? "The boss of your department is better than the master. I would rather believe you than him." The bald man said with a haha, and then seemed to have just watched
Like Yao Chushun, he showed surprise in his eyes, stretched out his right hand and walked over, pretending to apologize and said: "Oh, Mr. Gu, long time no see."
If this person had not been present, Yao Chushun's first reaction when seeing Bu Mingyuan would have been to curse. However, since this person was present, Yao Chushun naturally had to be more restrained and glared at Bu Mingyuan fiercely, and then as if
As if he didn't hear the bald man's words just now, he politely extended his hand to shake hands with the other person and said with a smile: "Lao Gu, it's been a long time no see."
Xu Zhengyang sat in front of the round table with his eyes narrowed. He looked at this scene with a calm expression and did not look at Gao Mingyuan at all.
This made Bu Mingyuan, who had originally thought about putting on a dead face for Xu Zhengyang, a little discouraged. He sneered and took a few steps forward and said: "Master Gu, I will introduce Mr. Gu to you regardless of the past grudges.
Come over here and show Mr. Gu the good stuff in your store!"
"Yes, yes, Master Gu, you can't hide anything from me. I want to buy a few more good things this time and go to Minggang."
