As he spoke, Zhang Ermao added: "The Chinese painting version of the Mona Lisa I saw just now was painted by me for 500 yuan a piece from a student at the Academy of Fine Arts. Normally I would give the price on the antique street.
They are all over 80,000 yuan. If such a pair is sold, I usually won’t leave the stall for two months, mainly because I am afraid that people will come to my door."
Ye Chen asked him: "If someone comes to your door, how do you usually deal with it?"
Zhang Ermao laughed sarcastically and explained: "If you find one, they must be here to refund the money. I usually just serve food to others. If I can afford to offend him, I will fight him to the end. Anyway, I am in the antique street."
The basic principle of doing business is to never refund money."
Ye Chen asked again: "What if you encounter someone you can't afford to offend?"
Zhang Ermao scratched his head and said with a smile: "If I encounter someone I can't afford to offend, my first choice is usually to run away. If I can run away, everything will be fine. If I can't run away, I will just pay the money and settle the matter."
"
Ye Chen nodded and said with a smile: "So, you are not able to secure every order. How much money can you earn in a year?"
Zhang Ermao calculated in his mind and said with a smile: "If all circumstances are taken into account, I can usually get four to five million in a year."
Ye Chen nodded and said, "Let's do this, Zhang Ermao. I'll give you a basic salary of 800,000 yuan a year. From now on, you won't go to antique shops to trick people. Change your mind and follow Hong Wu. Everything will follow his orders."
When Zhang Ermao heard this, he was stunned and stunned.
He never dreamed that Ye Chen would let him stay and work beside Mr. Hong Wu.
He was so shocked that he couldn't help but ask: "Master Ye...I...I'm just a nobody, why would you want me to work with the Fifth Master?"
Ye Chen smiled and said: "Hong Wu is more than brave, but still lacks agility. If he can have someone like you by his side to be his dog-headed strategist, it will definitely be a good thing for him."
Ye Chen did appreciate some of Zhang Ermao's advantages. Although this guy came from a humble background, he was definitely well-informed, and most importantly, his reaction speed was very fast, and his ability to respond to situations was much better than the average person.
It would indeed be a waste if such a person were placed in an antique street and defrauded to earn hundreds of thousands a year.
So, he looked at Zhang Ermao and asked, "Do you want to think about it? Give me a clear answer after you think about it."
"Don't think about it!" Zhang Ermao said quickly: "Master Ye, I am willing to work beside you and Hong Wu Ye!"
For Zhang Ermao, it is not easy to make a living in the antique street.
Not only does he have to carefully design all kinds of traps to deceive people, but he also has to always be wary of others coming to his door. In addition, his popularity in the antique street is not very good. Many of his colleagues dislike him, and he is ostracized and excluded.
It is common for people to make trouble.
So he had been looking forward to the opportunity to visit a more reliable dock, which would at least make his life easier in the future.
Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction and said, "In this case, I'll call Hong Wu, and you'll go to Tianxiang Mansion to find him later."
But he never dreamed that Ye Chen would ask him to go directly to Master Hong Wu.
If he followed Mr. Hong Wu, he would not dare to walk sideways in Jinling, and no one would dare to offend him!
Thinking of this, Zhang Ermao was extremely excited and nodded and bowed repeatedly, repeating: "Okay, Master Ye! Thank you, Master Ye!".
