This amateur painter surnamed Zhang really brought a big surprise to Chen Feng. Among the more than one hundred paintings he brought, there were actually two that resonated with him. One of them has not yet been framed.
Chen Feng still offered 50,000 yuan for a painting, and the other party agreed without even thinking about it. And he still had a surprised look on his face that he had won the prize.
Chen Feng felt a little embarrassed when he saw him like this, and finally bought an extra piece of his work. Although this piece had no effect, Chen Feng still spent another 50,000 yuan.
There are 4 paintings in total, worth 200,000. Three of them are sensitive.
For Chen Feng, it was really a good deal and he was very happy.
And the painter surnamed Zhang who was missed was also very happy.
It can be said that everyone is happy.
Chen Feng now had three more paintings and calligraphy in his hands that he could absorb, and he felt much more at ease.
More importantly, after these few days of absorption, Chen Feng feels that his body has always been very healthy.
Feeling healthier and more refreshed than before.
This seemingly intuitive feeling is not his illusion or self-imagination, but a reality.
This is also the main reason why Chen Feng wants to open this store and acquire these paintings and calligraphy works.
However, after buying three sensitive paintings at once, my luck seemed to have suddenly deteriorated.
I haven't received a painting for three days in a row, and the number of people coming to sell paintings has gradually decreased.
In the past few days, there were at least ten people coming every day, but in the past three days, there were only five or six people coming every day at most.
Chen Feng could only sit in the store bored and scroll through his phone.
Chen Feng suddenly felt like he was bound by this store.
However, there is no way around this.
Only he knows what kind of paintings he wants to buy, and he cannot leave it to others.
After these days of continuous consumption, he now only has one painting left on hand to absorb. There is not much inventory, so Chen Feng can only continue to stay in the store to look after the store. There is a feeling of waiting for the rabbit to come.
On this day, Chen Feng was sitting in the shop a little depressed, and then Lin Wan and Wu Mengting suddenly walked in.
"Brother Feng, is it really you!?"
Lin Wan looked surprised.
Wu Mengting also looked curious and surprised.
"Why are you here?"
Chen Feng also asked curiously.
He didn't tell them about opening this store. There was no need.
Lin Wan explained: "I drove by here yesterday afternoon and vaguely saw you sitting in this store. I thought I saw it wrong. I happened to be walking by Tiantian today, so I just took a look. It turned out that it was really you.
.”
Chen Feng suddenly nodded: "I see. Since you're here, just sit down wherever you want. If you want to drink water, go to the water dispenser to get it."
Lin Wan and Wu Mengting were looking at the store curiously, especially since Lin Wan didn't show up at all. After looking at the front, she went straight in to look at the back.
Wu Mengting did not follow him. She smiled sheepishly at Chen Feng, and then asked, "Why do you suddenly want to open an art store?"
Chen Feng briefly explained: "The main reason is interest. Secondly, I think it's not a loss to open such a store."
Wu Mengting shook her head slightly and said: "I told you before, the art trading industry is very deep. If you don't know how to do it, you are really likely to be cheated."
Chen Feng smiled and said: "You should have seen the billboard at the door. I mainly collect modern art. Those artists are basically still alive, so basically the prices of their works are not high. Again
There won't be many pitfalls.
What's more, I have confidence in the future art market. For example, if I collect 10 pieces of art, even if half of them are junk, as long as half or even one-third are fine products, I will not lose money in the future. If I miss something
If you happen to pick up one, it is possible that the price will increase more than ten times or even dozens of times in the future."
Chen Feng's words are not lies.
After Wu Mengting listened, she thought about it and nodded: "Maybe you are right. However, I still suggest that you invite someone knowledgeable to come and take charge."
Lin Wan also came out at this time and asked curiously: "Are you alone? Didn't you invite anyone to come and see the store?"
Chen Feng nodded: "Well, we don't need it for the time being."
"Is it necessary for a big boss like you to personally visit the store?" Lin Wan expressed confusion.
Chen Feng shook his head indifferently and said: "My current business is art recycling. Transactions of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or millions, can I safely hand it over to others?"
Lin Wan thought for a while and nodded to express understanding.
Wu Mengting said: "You can invite someone to visit the store. When guests come, stay with them first, entertain them, and then notify you. Otherwise, you will be tied to this store in the future and will not be able to leave."
Chen Feng thought for a while and nodded: "That's true. We really should find someone to help look after the store."
Lin Wan rolled her eyes and immediately offered herself: "How about I come and look after the store for you? It doesn't take much, just give me eight thousand a month."
Chen Feng and Wu Mengting rolled their eyes at her.
Lin Wan chuckled and said, "How about five thousand? Five thousand is really not high."
"What about your live broadcast?" Chen Feng asked.
"This is easy to handle. If you agree, I can live broadcast in the store while helping you to see the store. At the same time, I can also help you promote the store every day during the live broadcast. It will be somewhat useful. If you don't allow me to be in the store
It’s okay to start a live broadcast. At most, I’ll do the live broadcast when I go back at night.”
Not to mention, Lin Wan's suggestion is quite good.
Previously, Chen Feng asked the navy to help him promote himself on a monthly basis, which was somewhat effective. These days, more than ten people have come to sell their own works of art. They all came here after seeing advertisements on the Internet, and they just brought them.
None of the artworks caught Chen Feng's eye.
Lin Wan's current live broadcast room also has more than 20,000 followers. The highest online audience record is more than 200,000, and the average number of online viewers is 30,000 or 40,000, which is quite acceptable.
Therefore, Chen Feng only hesitated for about ten seconds before agreeing: "If you are really willing to come to the store and show me the store, five thousand a month is no problem. There is no problem in having a live broadcast in the store, but don't film it casually."
customers, so as not to be scared away by you, the female anchor. Of course, if you do well in the future, I will also give you a bonus."
"Is there really a bonus? How much is it?" Lin Wan looked as if she was excited about the money.
"At least 10,000 by the end of the year. Of course, it depends on your work attitude and ability. In addition, I want to be the first to say something ugly. We are friends, but if you work for me in the future, then during normal work, I will not follow you.
What are you talking about as a friend? You are my employee and I am your boss, so you have to listen to me. Do you understand this?"
Lin Wan quickly said: "Of course I understand this. Don't worry, I will definitely not talk to you during work. I will do whatever you, the boss, say. I will absolutely obey and will not resist."
Why does this sound so weird?
Chen Feng frowned and continued: "Of course you understand now. But I will definitely say the ugly things that should be said in detail. For example, if you ask for leave without reason, I will definitely deduct your salary. Also, if I think you
If you are not serious about your work, I will definitely fire you. You must be mentally prepared. Friends are friends, and superiors and subordinates are superiors and subordinates. I hope you can adapt to this change in status. Otherwise, I am afraid that we will have no friends in the future.
Gotta do it.”
When Wu Mengting heard Chen Feng speak so seriously, she couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Then I think it's better to forget it. Otherwise, I'm really worried that you won't even be friends in the future."
Lin Wan immediately objected: "Why don't I want such a good job? Instead of taking advantage of others, it's better to take advantage of me. Brother Feng, don't worry. I will work for you, and I will definitely be able to understand my identity while working.
I won’t get into trouble with you.”
"That's good. Also, do you have any objection to two days off every month?"
"Isn't it a weekend off every week?"
"How is this possible? This is a store, not an agency, enterprise or institution. It's impossible to have two days off every week, one day off every half month."
"Then I want a raise."
"Impossible. Five thousand a month is just for you to look after the store, not to sell things. At most, you are responsible for receiving people when they come, and then contact me. Most of the rest of the time, you are very free and can play live broadcasts on your mobile phone.
.I won’t even restrict you. If you don’t want to do it, I will post job advertisements online now.”
Lin Wan quickly agreed: "Okay. I'll do it."
"Then it's settled. You can come to work anytime."
Chen Feng is quite satisfied with Lin Wan, an employee with such good looks. Moreover, she is actually quite good at socializing with others.
More importantly, she is someone Chen Feng is familiar with, a friend, and he understands her well.
If Chen Feng asked her to look after his store, it would definitely be more reliable than recruiting someone from the public.
"Boss, how about I start working now? It's half a day's salary."
Lin Wan immediately entered employee mode and looked at Chen Feng with a flattering expression.
Chen Feng was unmoved, looked at the time and said: "It's already two o'clock in the afternoon. How can it be counted as half a day's salary? If you get off work at five in the afternoon, it can be counted as one-third of a day's salary at most."
"Go! Then I'd better start working tomorrow."
"Wan'er, are you really planning to work for Brother Feng?" Wu Mengting put her hand on her forehead and looked at Lin Wan in surprise.
Lin Wan nodded matter-of-factly: "Of course it's true. Where can I find such a good job? The easy work doesn't prevent me from doing live broadcasts."
Wu Mengting was speechless, but she had to admit that this job was indeed pretty good.
If she didn't want to resign, she would actually be willing to do this job, not for the 5,000 yuan salary, but to be closer to Chen Feng.
But now that Lin Wan got this job, she always felt something was wrong.
One is afraid that Lin Wan and Chen Feng will have a conflict, and they won't even be friends in the future. The other is also somewhat afraid that the two of them will get along with each other day and night, and they will have some kind of relationship.
Wu Mengting knows Lin Wan's temperament relatively well, although it seems impossible for her to poach her for the time being. But if she comes to work for Chen Feng in the future, the relationship between the boss and the employee will be as long as they stay together in the store every day. Over time, they will become lonely.
With a man and a woman, who knows whether they will have feelings for each other.
Therefore, after Wu Mengting was silent for a few seconds, she still expressed her objection: "I think, Wan'er, you are not very suitable for this job. First of all, if you are asked to stay in this store all day long, you will probably not be able to stay. Don't
I see you stay at home all day long and do live broadcasts. But you can only do live broadcasts for at most four or five hours a day. The rest of the time, you are walking around outside;
Secondly, I am worried that you are not qualified for this job. This is an art acquisition store, which requires a certain understanding of art. But you know nothing about art. When a customer comes and talks to you, you will be confused.
I don’t know how to do a good job in reception?”
I have to say that what Wu Mengting said is also reasonable.
However, Lin Wan immediately retorted: "I usually like to go shopping. But doesn't that mean I don't have any other serious job besides live broadcasting? If I have a serious job, I will definitely not run around. As for art, I don't know much about art.
But Brother Feng invited me in just to look at the store, not to make an art appraisal. When the guests come, I just need to entertain those guests and then notify Brother Feng. Brother Feng, right?"
Chen Feng nodded and said: "Yes. She is mainly responsible for reception work and does not require any professional knowledge. She just needs to have a good attitude towards the guests."
Wu Mengting couldn't fully express her worries, so she could only sigh: "Then Wan'er, let's do it first. If you can't hold on any longer, tell Brother Feng earlier."
Lin Wan smiled and waved her hands and said, "I know this well. You all should watch it."
Seeing this, Chen Feng had no choice but to say: "Then let's work for a month. If it doesn't work, I will find someone else. Lin Wan, don't feel embarrassed. If you think you are not suitable for this job, just say so."
"Okay, Brother Feng." Lin Wan said with a confident smile, "If I can't do such a job, then I might as well kill him with a piece of tofu."
Chen Feng and Wu Mengting couldn't help but smile when they heard this.
At this time, a bald middle-aged man walked in from the door, holding a big bag in his hand. Judging from the appearance of the bag, it looked like it contained calligraphy and paintings.
"Hello, I'm here to sell two paintings. If the price is right, I'll sell them to you."
"Okay, sir. Please sit down."
Chen Feng quickly stood up from his seat and asked him to sit down.
The balding middle-aged man waved his hand and said: "No, you can take a look at these two paintings of mine. If the price is right, sell them. If they are not, I will look at them elsewhere."
"OK."
So the balding middle-aged man put the bag on the desk in front of Chen Feng, opened it, and took out two framed paintings, an oil painting and an ink landscape painting.
"These two paintings were handed down from my ancestors. This one is "Misty Rain in the South" painted by everyone in the late Qing Dynasty, and this one is "Rose" by a great Chinese painter in the 19th century. Both paintings are exquisite. Take a look.
, what price will you give me?”
Chen Feng felt a little shocked or surprised at this time. But he tried his best to hold it back and did not show it.
The reason is very simple, because he is actually sensitive to both paintings.
It really felt like pie in the sky all of a sudden.
Of course, Chen Feng was not so easy to fool and believed this man's lies.
According to what this person said, the creators of these two paintings were already dead at this time. But how is this possible?
