Jessica sat silently by the bed, her face turning red and white. Through the headset, she could imagine the entanglement between a man and a woman in the car opposite. She subconsciously clenched the sheets with both hands, and she was angry.
I wanted to take off the headset and throw it aside, but my hands seemed unable to lift and they didn't move.
Fortunately, less than five or six minutes passed before several women's extremely resentful screams and the sound of a car door slamming were heard from the other side, and then it was quiet.
Jessica breathed a sigh of relief, feeling very annoyed and a little disappointed that she was not even aware of. It seemed that it was precisely because of this entanglement between men and women that it ended abruptly.
At the entrance of Ziyun Hotel, Xue Chen looked in the rearview mirror as he watched Sister Xuan, who was ashamed and angry and vowed never to talk to him again, getting into the red Ferrari and speeding away. She smiled successfully, and then drove away.
The first anniversary celebration of Excellent Antiques has come to an end.
Xue Chen and Wang Dong didn't want it to be too grand, they just wanted to be casual, drink tea and chat, but the final result was the opposite. The impact of this gathering was unimaginable.
The next day, the news that Mao Fengkai came to stir up trouble but was severely disgraced by Xue Chen spread, as if an atomic bomb had been successfully detonated in the antique circle of Haicheng City, causing an unimaginable turmoil.
Waves.
Qianlong pastel? Fine Jun porcelain? Not enough? Western Han Dynasty bronze tripod! The real Xuande furnace!
This anecdote was passed down from mouth to mouth, and everyone who heard it changed their faces slightly and exclaimed in amazement. They secretly regretted that they were not there to see this wonderful scene with their own eyes and to appreciate with their own eyes the Jun that they had never witnessed in this life.
Porcelain and Xuande furnace.
And excellence has completely become a familiar word in the Haicheng antique circle, and has become the most eye-catching antique store. The two antique stores Wanrui and Longteng, which are ranked first and second in people's minds, are both Shengshi Antiques.
The store was stepped on. They thought that Shengshi would become the most cutting-edge and most attractive antique store in Haicheng. No one expected that Zhuangzhi, who had always been tepid, would sit down on the newly emerged Shengshi and step on it from a high altitude.
Into a mud pit.
Shengshi manager Mao Fengkai also became a joke among people for a while. He came to the other party's anniversary celebration to stir up trouble. In the end, he was disgraced, his reputation was frustrated, and he had a hateful attitude. He could only say two words: You deserve it!
An obvious impact of this incident on the excellent antique store is the surge in the number of customers who come to the store. On the day after the celebration, the number increased significantly, at least three times the usual number. Eighty percent of the customers implicitly expressed their desire to take a look.
Take a look at Xue Chen’s collection.
Wang Dong, who was so busy and exhausted, had to smile and told him that it was not convenient. He said with a smile that he would take it out to the old customers of the store to taste and play with it if he had the opportunity.
Many customers who came to the store for the first time were disappointed, but not angry. After all, it was a national treasure worth tens of millions, and it was normal not to take it out casually. They had already been mentally prepared for this.
And old customers have the opportunity to taste it, so how do they become regular customers? It’s easy. When you leave, you just buy a gadget worth three to five thousand yuan, and you will naturally become a regular customer.
On the one hand, I wanted to see and touch the national treasure-level antique worth half a billion yuan in the future, and on the other hand, I also wanted to make friends with Xue Chen and Wang Dong.
That night, after the store's rolling shutter door was closed, the two clerks and Wang Dong were so exhausted that they almost collapsed.
On the third day, the matter spread completely, and the number of customers who came to the door reached a terrifying level, nearly seven or eight times the usual number, and the threshold of the store was almost flattened!
The huge passenger flow also brought a very generous number of transactions. Wang Dong was tired and happy, and his hands cramped after experiencing the transfer completely. If all were converted into money, it would be enough to drown him.
When it was about to close, Xue Chen walked into the store. At first sight, he saw two waiters slumped on chairs, one lying on the tea table nearby, and the other with his head raised and eyes closed, legs straightened, as if
Like a corpse.
Hearing the footsteps, the waiter lying on the table waved his hands and said vaguely and weakly: "It's closed today and we won't do business anymore. Come back tomorrow." There was a hint of pleading in his voice.
.
Xue Chen sweated in his heart and thought to himself that he was really exhausted. He went straight upstairs and saw Wang Dongren sitting in the living room with his back to the door. He was holding a calculator in his hand and pressing it. Electronics were constantly coming out.
Female voice, announces numbers.
"Dongzi, how about settling the score?" Xue Chen walked over and said with a smile.
When Wang Dong turned his head, he was shocked. He saw Fatty Wang's eyes wide open and covered with red bloodshot eyes, as if he hadn't slept for three days and three nights. His face was a little pale, but he was very excited.
, said hurriedly: "Old Xue, you are here, sit down quickly, you can guess the turnover of our store today, you will never guess it."
Xue Chen sat over and took the calculator, grabbed Wang Dong's arm and lifted it up, dragging it towards another lounge on the side: "Stop settling accounts, go and have a rest. After you have rested, you won't be calculating anymore."
Late."
"Haha, Lao Xue, you can't guess it. It's definitely 980,000, 980,000. That old boy next door, Zhou Baofu, can have this kind of turnover in a month. He would wake up laughing in the middle of the night."
Xue Chen put Wang Dong, who was laughing hoarsely, onto the bed. He stood aside for less than three minutes when he heard a loud snoring sound.
Seeing that Wang Dong was exhausted, Xue Chen was also helpless. It was really inconvenient for him to come forward. It was always not good to refuse some old customers in person, so he could only let Wang Dong refuse for him. It was impossible to really refuse them.
Several collections were put out for customers to grab and grab.
The turnover of 980,000 also surprised him. Counting the newly opened Shengshi, there are now a total of 28 antique shops in Haicheng City. The monthly turnover can stably exceed 1 million.
There are six or seven companies, but today Joyo has a turnover of 980,000 yuan a day, which is indeed very rare. It is like a blowout, a volcanic eruption!
This heated scene lasted for a week before finally stabilizing. However, the passenger flow still increased compared with before the celebration, by about 50%. Neither of the two clerks complained about tiredness, because the salary and
The bonuses have increased significantly.
The news that a private collector in Haicheng City owned a Xuande furnace built under the supervision of Emperor Xuande even spread to Haicheng, and became big news in the antique circles in most of Yunzhou Province.
…
Xue Chen drove into a community and parked downstairs of Luo Bing's house.
In three consecutive days after the celebration, Wang Hongmei called him four times and invited him to be a guest. Although she still had a bad impression of Luo Bing's mother, Wang Hongmei, she thought about it and came over.
As soon as he got off the car, all three members of Luo Hai's family appeared at the stairs to greet him. Apparently, someone had been standing in front of the window and paying attention to the downstairs.
Xue Chen came forward and said with a faint smile: "Uncle Luo, Aunt Wang, don't bother coming down to pick me up. I can just go up myself. You're too polite."
Wang Hongmei had a smile on her face, the creases in her eyes widened as she took Xue Chen's hand: "It's okay, let's go upstairs."
Beside him, Luo Hai also had his hands behind his back with a kind smile on his face.
Seeing the two people's enthusiasm, Xue Chen felt dazed for a moment. The two faces from a year ago that were so cold that they could shave off two pounds of frost suddenly flashed in his mind.
Luo Bing stood quietly aside, wearing an ordinary white knee-length dress with a different charm, like a white lotus blooming quietly on a moonlit night, fresh and elegant, indisputable and gorgeous, uploading it to the Internet is not easy
If you need to modify it, you can directly use it as a clothing model.
She very keenly noticed the change in Xue Chen's eyes for a moment, and as she knew him well, she also vaguely guessed something, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, with some resentment in her heart.
She should blame her parents for that matter, but she has never had an argument with her parents. Especially when she recalled that she went to dance practice when she was a child. No matter whether it was windy or rainy, her mother would pick her up and her whole body would still be dry after she came back.
, but the mother is soaked, how can she complain?
Going upstairs, Xue Chen handed a palm-sized black gift box to Luo Bing: "This is what I promised to give you when I came back from Inner Mongolia."
"Thank you." Luo Bing took it.
"Xiao Bing, open it and take a look." Wang Hongmei came out of the kitchen and urged her emotionally.
Luo Bing silently opened the box and took out a piece of jade inside the box. It was a puppy, which was also her zodiac sign. She had always liked it and wanted to raise a puppy, but her parents didn't agree, so she had to give up.
When Wang Hongmei saw that it was a green jade pendant, her eyes lit up and she said with a smile: "Xue Chen, you are too polite. This is jade, it must be quite expensive. It really costs you money." She only knew the green one.
Jade is jade, and it is very expensive.
"It's not jade, it's a jade that was developed in recent years. It's called She Tai Cui. The price is not high, less than 10,000 yuan." Xue Chen said truthfully.
Wang Hongmei said oh, looking a little disappointed, and turned back to the kitchen.
"It's very beautiful." Holding it in the palm of her hand, Luo Bing looked at it carefully. The jade was crystal clear and the puppy shape was very cute. She really liked it.
At this time, Luo Hai slowly walked over with a few boxes in his hands and placed them on the coffee table. He patted himself and said with a smile: "Xue Chen, these are the pieces I have collected over the years. It just so happens that you are here this time."
Come here and help me see if it has any collection value."
"good."
Xue Chen stood aside and watched Luo Hai take out the collection items one by one from the box. There were not many items, only seven or eight items in total, and they were also very miscellaneous. There were porcelain, jade, a calligraphy and painting, and ancient works.
money……
Luo Hai smiled and said: "Xue Chen, you always bring gifts when you come to my house. I'm sorry. Let's do this. I'll give you whatever you like. It can be regarded as a little thought from Uncle Luo."
Xue Chen narrowed his eyes: "Oh? Uncle Luo is really willing to give up?"
Luo Hai naturally knew the value of his collection. The most expensive ones were only three to five thousand, and the cheaper ones were only a few hundred yuan. It would not hurt even if he gave one to Xue Chen. (To be continued)
