Chapter 517 Branch opening
…With the sound of firecrackers, the Chenxiangge Daocheng branch was officially opened.↖
Because Liu Dong didn’t know many people in the island city’s antique world, the invitations were all sent by Mr. Tang, and the only one who came to him was probably the middle-aged man who came to visit him on the first day, Sambo next door.
Duan Yungui, the shopkeeper of Zhai!
"Congratulations, Shopkeeper Liu!"
Although he said congratulations, Liu Dong always felt that the other party had some ill intentions. But today is the opening of the Chenxiang Pavilion Daocheng branch, and nothing is as important as this.
"Congratulations, congratulations! But I am no longer the shopkeeper of Chenxiang Pavilion. From now on, Mr. Tang will be the shopkeeper of our Chenxiang Pavilion Daocheng branch!"
"Shopkeeper Duan!" Mr. Tang smiled and cupped his hands.
"You...are you Tang Guochun, Mr. Tang, the former shopkeeper of Jingyunxuan?" Duan Yungui suddenly said in surprise after taking a look at Mr. Tang.
"Oh, shopkeeper Duan still knows me, an old man?" Tang Guochun said with a smile.
"We know. We know! I used to go to your Jingyunxuan to buy goods when I was still working as a 'Baofu Zhai' on Changle Road!" Duan Yungui said quickly.
Baofengzhai is a lingo in the antiques industry. It means that some people in the industry have good eyesight but have no money to open a store, so they use blue cloth to package goods to various antique shops to "pick up goods" and then resell them. This phenomenon of dealing in antiques is known as
It's called "Baofu Zhai".
Huohuo refers to merchants in antique shops taking each other's goods and selling them on their behalf, which is called "huohuo". In the past 100 years, insiders have not seen any "huohuo" or breach of trust, forming a traditional rule in the industry.
.
Although Duan Yungui was somewhat respectful to him, Tang Guochun could not remember him!
"So Shopkeeper Duan has managed the business well and now has his own business. It's really gratifying. It's much better than me, the old man who 'lost Maicheng'!"
"You're seriously old! No one in the entire Qingdao antique industry knows your name, but I didn't expect Mr. Liu to be so powerful that he actually invited you out!" Duan Yungui was surprised and at the same time he also paid attention to the new Chenxiang Pavilion.
Get up, because he knows how powerful this Mr. Tang is in front of him! Even though he had his eyes pierced back then, no one in the antique industry has ever had his eyes pierced, let alone the famous 'Cheng Fang'!
Even now, the number of porcelain appraisal experts in China who can identify Cheng Fang and Zhu Fang is still no more than one hand! Those with this vision are all leaders in the industry, well-known porcelain appraisal masters, and deeply respected!
"I can't say I'm awesome. It's just that Mr. Tang gave me, a junior, face!" Liu Dong said calmly.
"Okay, Xiaodong! We don't have to say these polite words between us!... Shopkeeper Duan, please come in!" After saying that, Mr. Tang turned around and said, "Wei Min, please take shopkeeper Duan up and sit down, don't neglect it.
Hearing this, Duan Yungui bowed his hands to Mr. Tang and Liu Dong, and walked into the store under the introduction of Qiao Weimin!
"Xiaodong, what's wrong? I think you seem to have a prejudice against this shopkeeper Duan?" Mr. Tang said in surprise.
The old man has lived for more than half his life, and his ability to observe words and emotions has become perfect, so it is easy to guess the clues of the matter from Liu Dong's tone and subtle changes in his expression!
"Indeed!" After nodding, Liu Dong recounted to Mr. Tang the situation when he met Duan Yungui on the first day!
"So, this shopkeeper Duan is really not a simple person!" Of course, although Mr. Tang hates Duan Yungui's methods, there is nothing surprising about it. Shopping malls are like battlefields, colleagues are like mortal enemies, and mutual attacks are common.
Even when he fell into the trap of 'Cheng Fang' last time, it was because of his colleagues!
"He has some troubles, but we are not afraid. You are always in charge! He can't make any big waves!" Liu Dong said with slight compliment.
"Okay, stop wearing your hat on me! You've paid for so many treasures for me. If I don't like this Chenxiang Pavilion Daocheng branch anymore, then I don't have to work in this business anymore!" Tang
The old man smiled.
"But the Sihai Gang is indeed a trouble, and these people are not easy to mess with. I'm afraid we will really have to give them some benefits when the time comes!" Mr. Tang quickly frowned.
"Don't worry, Mr. Tang! The Sihai Gang will not come to trouble us in Chenxiang Pavilion in the future!"
Seeing the confident look on Liu Dong's face, Tang Guochun was curious and wanted to ask clearly, but someone happened to come over at this time, so he had to suppress the question in his heart for the time being!
"Old Tang, are you finally willing to give up? When I first received the invitation, I thought I was dazzled!" A tall and thin old man wearing a black shirt, about the same age as Mr. Tang laughed.
Came over.
"I've had enough leisure time at home these past few years. It's just a good chance to come out and work for a few more years while I can still move! Otherwise, you old guys will forget about me!" With that, Mr. Tang walked up and the two old men made out.
hugged each other!
After a brief chat, Mr. Tang pulled his old friend closer and said, "Xiaodong, this is Fu Xincheng, a famous jade appraiser in the island city!"
"Old Fu, this is...!"
"No introduction is needed, Liu Dong, the famous 'Emerald King of Northland' in the stone gambling world, I have admired him for a long time!" Fu Xincheng looked at Liu Dong and said politely with a hint of emotion.
"The Emerald King of the North?" Mr. Tang was deeply surprised by this name!
Although he does not specialize in jade appraisal, he still has a deep understanding of the title 'Emerald King'! But for a moment, it was difficult for Mr. Tang to associate this title, which symbolizes the highest honor in the stone gambling industry, with the young Liu Dong in front of him.
"It seems that Mr. Liu didn't tell you his experience!" Seeing the surprise on his old friend's face, Fu Xincheng couldn't help laughing.
"Mr. Fu. The Jade King of the North is just a title for outsiders. I only gained a few pieces of jade by betting, but I don't deserve such a title!" Liu Dong said politely.
"Haha, Mr. Liu is being too modest. If the glass-type imperial green, the glass-type chicken oil yellow and the 'Liu Guan Zhang' Gao Bing full-color jade are not considered the 'Jade King', then I'm afraid there will be no jadeite in the world."
Several Emerald Kings exist!"
"Xiaodong, is what the old man said true?" Mr. Tang said in disbelief.
"Well, that all happened the year before last!" Liu Dong nodded.
Mr. Tang was really shocked when he saw Liu Dong admitting it!
What kind of monster is standing in front of him now? If the level of antique appraisal is far higher than that of his peers, he can barely accept it, but now the other party's stone gambling skills have reached the top level, and he is still so young, it is too difficult to understand.
Shocked!
Of course, this is because Liu Dong didn't tell him about his achievements in business, as well as his level of skills in sculpture, calligraphy and painting, otherwise the old man would probably have high blood pressure!
"Forget it, you can talk to me properly after today!" Seeing someone coming to the door again, Mr. Tang knew that now was not the time to talk.
After Liu Dong nodded, he called Zhao Yanfang and took Fu Xincheng in!
In the following time, Liu Dong finally realized the influence of Mr. Tang in the antique industry in Daocheng. Almost all the people who came to support him came to him, and they were basically the shopkeepers of various antique shops and the collectors.
Celebrities!
Liu Dong was very glad that he found Mr. Tang. If it were him, he would probably burn a lot of incense if one-third of the customers came to the Chenxiangge branch when it opened today.
Just as the number of customers gradually became less and less, a group of eight black Mercedes-Benz cars parked outside the Chenxiangge branch.
As the car door opened, young men wearing black suits, jackets and down jackets got out of the car one after another, and then held a large flower basket from the back seat of the car. As for the person leading them, Liu Dong was also very familiar!
"Mr. Liu, congratulations on the opening of your new store!"
"Mr. Ma?"
"Mr. Liu, you're welcome, just call me Lao Ma!" Ma Youde said quickly.
After saying polite words, Ma Youde turned around and asked the gang members behind him to put down the eight large flower baskets in their hands, and then took a red brocade box and handed it to Liu Dong, "Mr. Liu, our gang leader is afraid of causing you trouble.
, so I didn’t come in person this time, so I made sure to deliver the gift to you! Congratulations on the opening of your new store!”
Looking at the red brocade box in his hand, Liu Dong's eyes flashed with joy, and then he smiled and said: "I understand, thank Mr. Wei for me when you go back, and I will treat him to dinner next time I have a chance!"
"Yes, yes, I will report the truth to the gang leader after I return!" Ma Youde said with a smile as he cupped his hands.
"Well! Sister Zhao, invite Mr. Ma in!" Liu Dong said.
"Don't bother, Mr. Liu! I have some things to do when I get back, so I won't go in!" After saying that, after saying a few polite words to Liu Dong, Ma Youde left with his men!
It wasn't until they drove away that Mr. Tang frowned and said, "Xiaodong, this friend of yours doesn't look like a serious person. You should be careful in the future!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Tang! I only have casual acquaintances with them!" Liu Dong said.
Although Liu Dong and Wei Fei had smoothed over their feud after having dinner last time, their identities meant that they were unlikely to have any deep friendship with each other.
After nodding, Mr. Tang looked at the time and said: "Let's go up! No one is probably coming at this time!"
After agreeing, Liu Dong gave instructions to the reception staff and then came to the second floor with Mr. Tang.
