Zhou Bozhai originally had two assistants. One was older, and everyone called him Lao Zhang. He had been with Zhou Bozhai for some years. The other was older, and everyone called him Ayi. He had only been here for more than two years, but he was making rapid progress.
, young people are smart and quick to respond. According to Zhou Bozhai, they are considered good guys.
Luo Tian took Ding Cheng back to the store and called Lao Zhang and Ayi over. He pointed at Ding Cheng and said, "He came to our store to interview a clerk. Today, I will leave this matter to you."
Lao Zhang and A Yi looked at each other, a little confused. What does this new boss mean? Seeing that they didn't react, Luo Tian explained: "Today, you two will test him to see if he is suitable."
When you are guys, you are both old guys and have experience, so you can play freely today."
Luo Tian's move was actually very clever. Firstly, he didn't have a thorough understanding of the qualities of the antique shop clerks, so he couldn't do anything well in the exam. Secondly, he was not familiar with Lao Zhang and Ayi.
I don’t know much about the personalities and characters of these two people. This move can kill two birds with one stone. Firstly, I want to see if this Ding Cheng is worth staying. After all, it is not easy for people to come here from thousands of miles away. Secondly, of course I have to see
Look at how good these two old guys are.
After some discussion, Lao Zhang and A Yi finally made a decision. The two of them decided to go in alone: "Let's do this. A Yi and I discussed it. In our line of work, we need to test our eyes."
Ding Cheng didn't quite understand: "Eyes?"
"Yes, when a customer comes in, we can tell at a glance what type he is, whether he is here for a walk or someone who really comes to pick up things. Also, the value of antiques in antique shops is not static, and it is not something you can memorize by rote.
Just memorize it. It’s also important to look at people’s bids. This is something every antique shop must be able to do. In general, it’s a test of your eyesight.”
Luo Tian nodded repeatedly. He was right. There was a big difference between doing business and appraising, but he still didn't know exactly how the two people wanted to test their eyesight: "To be more specific, how?"
"Field inspection." The two people said in unison.
Okay, the old man and the young man really have some brains. Talking on paper may work, but it may not work with real swords and guns. It's still early, so let Ding Cheng stay in the store for a day and see how he reacts.
Also, his basic knowledge of antiques was not good enough. Luo Tian took the lead: "Okay, Ding Cheng, you put your luggage in the warehouse first, then go wash your hair and clean up before coming back."
Ding Cheng hesitated a little, but Luo Tian saw something and took out two hundred yuan from his pocket: "Here you go."
The corners of Ding Cheng's eyes suddenly turned red, and he took the money coquettishly: "Oh, I'll be back soon."
Watching Ding Cheng go out, Luo Tian said again: "I have something to say hello to you in advance. This young man is not a local. His name is Ding Cheng. I heard that my grandfather is also an appraiser. His parents are divorced and he has been with him since he was a child.
Grandpa, in the past, I was ignorant and followed a group of gangsters to earn a living, but now I want to turn back the prodigal son. What do you think about this?"
Ayi frowned: "This guy is not reliable. Recruiting him is risky. He may be the one who commits suicide."
Of course Luo Tian knew this, and this was also his concern. He looked at Lao Zhang: "Lao Zhang, what do you think?"
"Well, a young man is young and ignorant. It's normal for him to do some stupid things. As long as he really changes his mind, it will be fine. He came all the way here and is sincere." After all, Lao Zhang is older and thinks about things.
It's also a bit more versatile.
"This is where I'm in trouble." Luo Tian said sincerely: "This will either leave a disaster or save a prodigal son. I think this way, let's observe first and then make a decision. After all, if this thing comes to pass,
From now on you will work with him."
Neither the old man nor the young man had any objections. Ding Cheng's first thought was to find something to do. Although he was a bit shy, he didn't dare to neglect it. After tidying up his appearance, he came back looking much more energetic and his shoes were much cleaner. Luo Tian saw his clothes.
If something is dirty, let him change into clean clothes and get ready for work.
It stands to reason that there will be some traffic at noon, so the number of people in the antique street gradually increased, and many customers slowly walked in. After the two stores were opened, the area became much larger. Lao Zhang and Xiaoyi each
People stood in one place, not only to pay attention to the guests who came in, but also to prevent theft. Ding Cheng was a little at a loss at first, but slowly he started to understand. Every time someone came in, his eyes scanned the other person.
However, there were many people who came in to take a look, but few who were really interested. The Song Dynasty inscription was placed in the center of the store, and no one cared about it at all. It seemed that someone with a discerning eye had not yet appeared.
After standing for a long time, Ding Cheng became slightly impatient and leaned against the wall, looking a little bored. At this moment, two more people came in together. Both of them were a little fat and not tall.
They both wore gold-rimmed glasses and suddenly looked like a pair of twin brothers.
The two of them wandered around the store as if they were just looking at things. They seemed to have little interest in jade and porcelain. They passed by quickly. One of them found the Song Dynasty engraved book in a conspicuous position and suddenly strode over.
