Jing Shizhen looked Su Xiaofan up and down and shook his head.
Su Xiaofan always puts comfort first when wearing clothes.
The weather in Yanjing is quite hot now. He wears a T-shirt worth tens of dollars on his upper body, a pair of sports pants on the lower body, and sports shoes of a brand he doesn't even know. The total cost of his whole outfit is probably less than two.
One hundred dollars.
"Old Liu, come here."
Jing Shizhen called out to Shopkeeper Liu, pointed at Su Xiaofan, and said, "Bring me some clothes, similar to his."
The work clothes of Jingxintang are the kind of double-breasted long coats, available in various models. Shopkeeper Liu quickly took out a navy blue one.
"Next door is Neiliansheng. Go buy a pair of cloth shoes yourself." Jing Shizhen pointed outside.
"Ah? Uncle Jing, don't you cover everything?"
Su Xiaofan smiled shamelessly.
"Okay, then I can share half of your appearance fee with you."
Jing Shizhen smiled happier than Su Xiaofan.
"Okay, I'll buy it myself."
Su Xiaofan can figure out how much a pair of shoes costs.
Not to mention, Su Xiaofan looked several years older, wearing cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles and a navy blue long-breasted gown.
"Well, if I get some glasses and put them on, I'll look a little bit like a cultured person."
Jing Shizhen looked at Su Xiaofan, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "You and I will go to Yanjing Terrace in the afternoon."
"Doesn't it start only tomorrow?"
Su Xiaofan was stunned for a moment. He wanted to continue looking for some antiques in the afternoon.
After deciding to open an antique store, Su Xiaofan had to change his previous thoughts.
He had previously thought of picking up seven or eight leaks, and then he would take action slowly.
But if you open an antique store, it's different. The more genuine items, the better.
As long as they are not stolen goods or uncirculated cultural relics, no one can care about the origin of those antiques. If it were you, would you tell others the channels through which you purchase them?
"Interview, do you understand?"
Jing Shizhen stood up and said: "I just recommend you to go. Whether it is OK or not depends on the people in Yanjingtai..."
"There is still such a thing."
"What's wrong? Are you scared?"
"Hi, Uncle Jing, I don't have much else but to be brave."
Su Xiaofan rolled up the sleeves of his gown, "When I was twelve years old, I rode a bicycle alone through the graveyards. I have never been afraid of anything in my life."
"Oh? Aren't you afraid of a ghost crawling out of the graveyard?"
Jing Shizhen was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He really didn't know these experiences of Su Xiaofan.
"Tear off the male ghost's head and use it as a ball to kick."
Su Xiaofan curled his lips, "It depends on how the female ghost looks. If she looks good, take her home and warm her bed."
"You kid, just blow it."
Jing Shizhen looked unbelieving. There were so many people who loved dragons, Mr. Ye. He said he was nice, but when he got down to it, he gave up.
"If you don't believe me, ask Brother Gang. The last time I saw that ghost breaking the wall, it wasn't me who broke it."
Su Xiaofan told the truth, he was born with courage, or he had a good psychological quality.
Not to mention that I was naughty and mischievous when I was a child. When I was in junior high school, I got into a fight with a classmate in the town and asked my parents to deal with it.
Su Xiaofan immediately rode his bicycle and took the silly uncle at the head of the village to school.
In the end, it was the teacher who invited Uncle Silly Uncle to have a meal before sending him away, because Su Xiaofan told Uncle Silly Uncle that he would take him to restaurants in the town.
Growing up, Su Xiaofan had never been afraid of anyone. He respected his elders, but it had nothing to do with being afraid.
"Then why did you throw away the Yin Stone?"
Jing Shizhen became angry when she thought about this.
"I'm afraid it will affect my sister."
Su Xiaofan came as soon as he opened his mouth. In the past few years, he had done nothing else in the antique market but practiced talking.
"Don't be poor, let's go. If the other side agrees, you have to take a few publicity photos."
Jing Shizhen walked out. He had already arranged a car just now.
"Xiaofan, when you go to the TV station, just say you are my apprentice."
When they were approaching Yanjing Terrace, Jing Shizhen suddenly spoke.
"Uncle Jing, are you kidding, or is it true?
We don’t want to be disciples now, and my age is no longer suitable..."
After hearing Jing Shizhen's words, the smile on Su Xiaofan's face faded.
Su Xiaofan could tell that Jing Shizhen's words were not casual, but serious.
Moreover, he claimed to be Su Xiaofan's master in public. Putting aside everything else, the name of master and disciple cannot be changed.
It was precisely because of this that Su Xiaofan was a little surprised.
Su Xiaofan is also considered a person in the antique business, and he understands the ways and rules.
The antique store inherits traditional culture and attaches great importance to recruiting apprentices. It is really the kind of person who is a teacher for a day and a father for the rest of his life.
In other words, in modern times, the antique business has become much simpler.
If it were before liberation, the apprentice brought by the owner of an antique shop would first have to work for the owner for free for three years.
These three years of work are more than just working in the store.
The apprentice has to do everything in the master's house, including washing, cooking, and urinals. Moreover, he is only responsible for food and has no money. At this time, he is usually called a disciple.
After the apprenticeship has been completed in the past three years, and he has been promoted from apprentice to apprentice, the master begins to teach the skills, and this teaching is also very particular.
Usually the master will not teach step by step. The apprentice has to listen and watch on his own. At critical moments, the master will only give a few reminders.
In this way, after another three, five, seven or eight years, depending on the apprentice's own level of learning, he can start his apprenticeship.
The apprenticeship mentioned here only means that you have mastered the craft, but you still have to follow the master, and usually work for nothing for five or ten years before you can go out and start your own business.
So when Su Xiaofan heard that Jing Shizhen asked him to call him Master, he immediately asked.
Su Xiaofan had never eaten from Jing Shizhen, and Jing Shizhen had never taught him any craftsmanship. This master was a bit unworthy of his name.
Of course, Su Xiaofan also understood in his heart.
Calling him Master would be of great benefit to him, but Su Xiaofan still had no habit of taking advantage of others.
"You are brave and careful, so you are suitable to learn some of my things."
Jing Shizhen obviously didn't do it on the spur of the moment. Compared to Zheng Dagang, Su Xiaofan was more pleasing to his eyes.
After these few contacts, Jing Shizhen discovered that Su Xiaofan had a very measured grasp of things.
Sometimes it looks shameless, but in fact Su Xiaofan's words and deeds are not over the line and will not make people disgusted.
Just like when Su Xiaofan bought meteorites before, haggling was just business.
But after negotiating the price, when Su Xiaofan didn't have enough money to issue an IOU, he didn't say a word.
Jing Shizhen didn't let Jing Shizhen erase a fraction of the three hundred thousand yuan because it was a big deal of more than 16 million yuan. This is her character.
Of course, if Su Xiaofan brought it up, Jing Shizhen would also wipe out the small change for him, but the matter of recruiting disciples would be gone.
"Uncle Jing, have you ever accepted students before?"
Su Xiaofan asked: "If I become your student, what can I learn? What do I need to do?"
Becoming a master and accepting a disciple are also two-way choices.
Su Xiaofan would not become a disciple just because Jing Shizhen was famous so that he could benefit from it in the future. He wanted to see if he could learn something from Jing Shizhen.
"I haven't taken any. I just taught some people the knowledge of identifying antiques. Those are not my students..."
Jing Shizhen shook his head. He knew what Su Xiaofan was thinking, and immediately said: "You kid, don't think so much. I will accept you as my apprentice. I just want to find some things that I don't want to lose. I want to find someone to pass them on, and I don't want you to come here and give them to me."
I worked for free."
"Okay, it's my destiny to learn from you, Uncle Jing."
Su Xiaofan thought for a while, nodded, and said: "Uncle Jing, if you really think I am suitable, then I will become your disciple!"
The benefits of becoming a disciple and respecting an uncle are obvious.
Su Xiaofan himself came from a wild background, and now he relies on the repair system to tell the truth from lies, but he can't tell the truth.
However, from Uncle Jing, Su Xiaofan could systematically learn the theoretical knowledge of antique appraisal.
In this way, Su Xiaofan can make up for his shortcomings.
What’s more, with Uncle Jing’s reputation in the antique shop, as long as he uses the banner of Uncle Jing’s disciple, it will be difficult for the antique shop he opens in the future to do well!
Su Xiaofan is not that pedantic. Since he will become Uncle Jing's apprentice in the future, why not use the resources of such a giant Buddha?
"Let's not talk about becoming a disciple for now. We will talk about it after the treasure appraisal program is over."
Jing Shizhen laughed, he was in a good mood.
Su Xiaofan's hesitation just now was also noticed by Jing Shizhen.
The kid in front of me is not someone who rushes forward when he hears something good. He can think.
Some people may think that only individuals can think, and those who cannot think are not human beings.
But what Jing Shizhen valued was Su Xiaofan's thinking at the juncture of major interests. This kind of thinking excluded interests.
With Jing Shizhen's reputation in the antique business, he dared to say that as long as he proposed to accept a disciple, anyone with a lower seniority than him would agree without hesitation. How could he be like Su Xiaofan who asked the east to be the west.
While the two were talking, Yanjing Tower had already arrived.
You have to check your ID when entering Yanjing Terrace. Because you contacted me in advance, a staff member came to greet you.
It's said to be an interview, but it's actually just a communication with the director of the program team.
Jing Shizhen didn't say much and kept silently observing from the side.
Jing Shizhen discovered that, as Su Xiaofan himself said, he really didn't have stage fright.
Whether he was meeting with the leaders of Yanjing TV Station or the directors with decision-making power, Su Xiaofan always spoke eloquently, showing a maturity that was beyond his age.
However, Jing Shizhen didn't know that Su Xiaofan regarded them as customers in the antique market, and the objects he was selling were just himself instead of antiques.
Seeing that the director and the leaders of Yanjing TV were very satisfied, Jing Shizhen promptly revealed the identity of Su Xiaofan as his apprentice.
The director of the program team is considered to be a person in the antique industry, so he naturally knows the importance of Jing Shizhen in the antique industry.
So upon hearing about Su Xiaofan's identity, the program director made the decision on the spot to confirm the identity of Su Xiaofan's guest.
Seeing that it was still early, the director called some people in and took a set of promotional photos for Su Xiaofan.
Su Xiaofan, who had been calm and composed just now, was a little disheartened by this group of photos.
When walking out of Yanjing Terrace, Su Xiaofan was still using a tissue filled with mineral water to wipe the foundation on his face vigorously.
