Sitting on a comfortable wooden chair, Shen Yu suddenly remembered something. How many days had it been since his "Lanting Ju" opened for business?
Thinking of this, Shen Yu counted with his fingers. It's not that he didn't know. It was really shocking.
I was in coma for three days and was hospitalized for one day. Counting today, it has been five full days.
The rent for his shop is 7,000 yuan per month, plus water and electricity bills, shopping mall property management fees, advertising operation fees, sanitation fees, etc., the total is over 10,000 yuan a month.
If you divide it evenly, it's more than 300 yuan a day.
In other words, not opening the door is really equivalent to throwing money into the water every day!
Still can't hear the sound.
Shen Yu secretly thought: "It's not okay to continue like this. People who don't know think my shop is closed!
"It seems like it's time for "Lantingju" to find a professional store manager. Whether or not it makes money is another matter. Even if the store doesn't sell any items, at least I can tell others that my store is still open."
In fact, Li Hanlin mentioned this to Shen Yu more than once. Opening a store cannot save the money of hiring people.
It's just that Shen Yu didn't have any special abilities at the time, so he didn't recruit clerks because he wanted to save a little bit.
Now is the time to make a decision.
Shen Yu didn't believe that even if he wasn't in the store, he wouldn't be able to sell a single antique. After all, people like Mr. Li, Mr. Qian, Fatty Li, and Lin Xifeng would only stay in the store for a long time unless they had valuable antiques to sell or buy.< /p>
I usually only spend one or two hours in the store.
When I go out to buy antiques or when I am busy, I may not go to the store once a week.
Aren’t other people’s stores still open and prosperous?
Of course, recruiting store managers must be thoughtful and flexible.
It’s best if you understand antiques, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t. Anyway, the items in your store have prices, so just give him a minimum price that he can’t sell for.
As for buying antiques, the worst case scenario is to call yourself and then rush to the store yourself. Don’t you think a store as big as Pan Shichuan’s "Tao Gu Zhai" needs his permission to buy antiques?
He even needs to do it himself to judge whether it is true or false.
Just as he thought of it, Shen Yu opened the mobile app and posted a recruitment advertisement on Chuzhou's most famous local forum "Chuzhou City".
"The antique shop "Lantingju" is sincerely recruiting a store manager.
"Job description: Mainly responsible for the sales of handicrafts and antiques and the reception of old customers, including calligraphy, painting and calligraphy, gold, silver and jade, ancient porcelain seals, antique beads, bronze mirrors and ancient coins, etc.
"Working hours: 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day, with 4 days off per month."
"Requirements: Male or female, age 25-50, high school degree or above, no major restriction, preferably some knowledge of antique collection."
"Salary: base salary of NT$4,000, bonus fluctuating, NT$500 for perfect attendance, year-end bonus based on sales performance, minimum guarantee of NT$5,000."
"Accommodation: Dormitories can be provided, located in the old city of Chuzhou (now the urban-rural fringe area). If you solve the accommodation problem by yourself, you can subsidize transportation expenses by 300 yuan per month."
"Contact person: Mr. Shen, contact information: 1390xxxxxxx, same WeChat number."
What Shen Yu didn't expect was that as soon as the post was edited and posted, it was instantly submerged in countless recruitment posts.
How can this be done? People can’t even see the recruitment notice, and they can’t recruit anyone even for ten or eight days!
Shen Yu immediately set up a post to be highlighted as a premium member and spent two hundred yuan to pin it to the top. Of course, it only lasted six hours.
We were planning to recruit people, but Shen Yu was still willing to spend this little money.
As the social circle expanded, Shen Yu knew that he would not be able to stay in the store all the time. There would always be time to go out to visit old houses or socialize.
The more friends you have, the more times you will socialize. For example, this will happen more and more today.
You go out often, so you can’t always close the shop, right?
Therefore, it is imperative to hire an excellent professional store manager, even if you spend money to hire one.
The effect of spending money is good. Within three minutes of keeping the recruitment notice on the top, WeChat started to show that someone had added friends.
The first person’s WeChat name is [Two o’clock in the morning means going to bed early], “Hello boss, I would like to ask when does your store open? I am a very dedicated person but I just like to sleep in. Before ten o’clock It’s hard to get out of bed. Is it okay to have this kind of routine?"
Shen Yu's mouth twitched, what the hell is this? But he still replied, "Thank you, your work and rest time is not suitable for my small shop!"
The second person’s WeChat name is [Family Heirloom Yuan Blue and White]: “Boss, do you accept Yuan blue and white porcelain in your store? I have several ancestral authentic blue and white porcelain from the official kilns of the Yuan Dynasty here, which have been passed down from generation to generation.
"I can't tell you the quality. Now that I had a car accident and suffered a brain hemorrhage, I want to sell some emergency supplies."
Shen Yu almost laughed angrily, "You should keep your ancestral Yuan Qinghua for yourself. If I take it away, I don't know if you will have a brain hemorrhage, but I will definitely have a brain hemorrhage."
"Who are these people?" Seeing that no one continued to add friends, Shen Yu shook his head and looked at the few people arguing in the hall.
The current situation is that Mr. Li is sitting on a wooden chair and smiling without saying a word.
Mr. Qian thinks this jade plaque may be an imitation of Ming Dynasty.
Lin Xifeng insisted that the jade plaque was made by Qianlong.
Zheng Congyuan and Fatty Li both believed that the jade tablet was the real "Zigang tablet" carved by Lu Zigang himself in the Ming Dynasty.
"Fat Li is obviously much better at flattering Uncle Li than Lin Xifeng. Does this guy want something from Uncle Li?" Shen Yu thought.
At this time, someone added someone as a friend, and their WeChat name was [Must drink two taels per meal], “Hello boss, I know antiques and have worked in an antique store. The older generation in my family also does this for a living, but they don’t know about our store. Do you want to eat it?"
When Shen Yu heard that the other party had working experience in an antique store, he immediately became energetic. He immediately edited the text and replied: "Look, I have to take care of the food. I have to take care of breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can eat whatever you want. Breakfast is twenty yuan." , noon and fifty yuan in the evening."
[You must drink two taels for each meal]: "Then boss, do you care about the wine? I am good at everything. I just like to drink two taels when eating. I don't choose wine. As long as it is food wine, it is best to drink alcohol." The brewed version of Chuzhou Daqu, you can rest assured that I will do nothing wrong when I drink. The more I drink, the more energetic I will be..."
Shen Yu didn't talk nonsense and blocked this guy directly. Craft version of Chuzhou Daqu? This bottle is four hundred and eighty. Should I invite the store manager or the ancestors?
Continuing the conversation with several people who added WeChat, Shen Yu found that they were all nonsense. Some even wanted to increase their salary to 10,000, and give him 20% of the sales as dividends at the end of the year. Isn't this nonsense?
Shen Yu's WeChat friend list now has more than thirty requests to add friends.
Shen Yu has a better memory this time and won’t choose any unreliable WeChat name.
After searching around, I found a WeChat account called [Shovel the land and eat the elixir].
"Shovelers" refer to those vendors who go to rural towns to collect antiques.
Some of them have their own shops, and most of the antiques they collect are sold in their own stores, while some do not. They immediately send the collected items to major antique stores in order to make a profit from the price difference.
"Eating the elixir" can be understood as picking up a leak, that is, buying a high-priced antique at a very low price, and feeling as happy as if you have eaten an elixir. Nowadays, it generally means picking up a small leak.
If someone knows these two antique terms, even if he is not proficient in antique appraisal, it at least shows that he knows something about antiques.
After accepting the friend application, Shen Yu first typed "Hello" and sent it.
The other party replied quickly, "Hello, Mr. Shen! I am applying for the position of store manager of your store."
"This friend knows a lot about antiques?" Shen Yu put a jumping question mark at the end of the sentence.
[Shoveling the ground to eat the elixir]: "In the late Qing Dynasty, my ancestors owned an antique shop with four upper floors and four lower floors in the flea market. They sold authentic works from four Ming and Six Qing families, and even sold Yongxuan blue and white and Wanli five colors. ”
Seeing the message sent by the other party, Shen Yu couldn't sit still. He knew that there were many people in the Ming family. Not to mention those who knew antiques, even those who loved watching TV series knew that after all, Tang Yin and Wen Zhengming were so famous. < /p>
However, not many people know about the Qingliu Family. Even those in the antique shop who do not study calligraphy and painting rarely know about it. Shen Yu replied: "Do you know the Qingliu Family?"
[Shoveling the ground to eat the elixir]: "Well, the six families of the Qing Dynasty are the four kings of the early Qing Dynasty: Wang Shimin, Wang Jian, Wang Hui, Wang Yuanqi, plus Wu Li, a Taoist from Mojing, and Yun Shouping, a foreign historian from Yunxi. My name is Wu Yun, the Four Kings."
Shen Yu immediately asked: "Then do you know which ancient painting masters the Liujia School of the Qing Dynasty studied?"
[Shoveling the ground to eat the elixir] It only took a few seconds to reply: "Dong Yuan Juran, a distant disciple, is a recent sect of the four Yuan Dynasty families. He mainly studied Huang Gongwang, Wang Meng, Wuzhen, Dong Qichang, and also studied the four Ming families, Shen Zhou and Wen Zheng. Ming Dynasty, Tang Yin."
After thinking about it, Shen Yu continued to test: "You said that your ancestors have handled Yongxuan blue and white and Wanli five colors, so why not Yuan blue and white? You must know that Yuan blue and white is the most valuable porcelain!"
[Shoveling the ground to eat the elixir] first replied with a dazed expression, and then immediately sent a text, "Mr. Shen, are you testing my knowledge of antiques?
"Until the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, there was no concept of Yuan blue and white in the collection world. At that time, Yong Xuan blue and white were the most precious among blue and white porcelains.
"And during the Republic of China, porcelain from the six kilns of the Song Dynasty, Ru, Jun, Guan, Ge, Ding, and Longquan, was the most popular, among which the most expensive ones amounted to tens of thousands of silver dollars.
"Blue and white porcelain has never been the most valuable porcelain. Large pieces of bottles and high-level official kilns cost only about a thousand silver dollars in the Republic of China, and small pen holders, bowls and washers only cost four to five hundred yuan.
"On the contrary, Wanli colorful paintings were even more popular among collectors at that time, and each piece could be sold for a high price of four to five thousand yuan."
Shen Yu felt happy in his heart: "It seems that he has met a real expert. If his character is good, I will keep him even if he is given a basic salary increase!"
Da, da...
The cell phone beep sounded again.
[Shovel the land and eat the elixir]: "I saw that you can provide dormitories there. I wonder if there are female dormitories?"
Shen Yu was instantly confused: "Are you a woman?"
***The author has something to say***
Thank you book friends for your rewards and monthly tickets. You have spent a lot of money. I am grateful from the bottom of my heart. I will compile a list when I have time.
ps: In the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, except for Yongxuan blue and white, blue and white porcelain was not as valuable as Wanli colorful and chicken pot cups. Of course, the most valuable ones were the six famous kilns of the Song Dynasty: Ru kiln, Guan kiln, Ge kiln, Jun kiln, and Ding kiln. , and the porcelain from Longquan kiln is really sky-high.
