While driving back to the city, Xue Chen silently recited the four sentences taught by the old man in his heart and firmly remembered them in his heart.
Because of the valuable experience of opening a branch in Yang'an City, it was much easier to open a branch in southern Jiangsu this time. First, he entrusted Lin Xiongtian to help consider the location of the branch. Xue Chen still trusted Lin Xiongtian's vision.
of.
At the same time, Xue Chen also started recruiting employees. Generally speaking, an antique store branch requires at least four people, a store manager, a master who knows antique appraisal, an accountant who does accounting, and a clerk who does odd jobs.
Of course, this is not necessarily the case. For example, Fatty Wang has three positions: management, appraisal, and accounting, which saves a lot of manpower. The situation at the Yang'an branch is similar. Xue Chao is responsible for management and accounts, and Huang Pinqing is responsible for
Responsible for identifying antiques.
Wang Dong and Xue Chao are both acquaintances, and he trusts them, so there is no need to hire other employees. However, it will not work if they are all employees recruited by strangers.
Therefore, Xue Chen really hoped to recruit some people he trusted and knew to help manage the future branch in Sunan City, but he had been calculating in his head for a long time and could not think of a suitable candidate.
He did not hide the fact that he wanted to open a branch in southern Jiangsu from the people around him. Many people had heard about it. Just when he was planning to recruit staff, Uncle Shen called and asked if he needed manpower.
"Uncle Shen, do you have a suitable person to introduce to me?"
"Well, come here and I'll talk to you."
"OK."
Xue Chen immediately rushed to Daxing Pawn Shop and heard Uncle Shen introduce the person.
"This person's name is Wei Minghua. He is the child of an old brother of mine who has passed away. He should be less than thirty-five or six years old now. He worked in Daxing for two years before Huang Pinqing because he said he wanted to go out and make a living.
I wanted to make a living, so I left Yunzhou Province to work hard in other provinces. I have been away for five or six years, and I only came back two months ago. I have been idle at home and entrusted me to help find a suitable job."
Xue Chen listened quietly. After Uncle Shen briefly introduced the origin of this person, he thought for a while and asked: "Uncle Shen, what is this person's ability and character like?"
Uncle Shen thought for a while: "My abilities are higher than Huang Pinqing's. Minghua is not a big problem overall. He just likes to be ambitious sometimes, but after working hard outside for so many years, I think his temperament should have calmed down."
A higher ability than Huang Pinqing already meets the requirements. As for this person's character, Xue Chen still needs some attention. Although Uncle Shen said that this person is fine, he has not seen him for five or six years, which is enough to make a person's character questionable.
Earth-shaking changes have occurred.
He thought for a while and then asked: "Since he went to work in other places, why did he suddenly return to Haicheng?"
"Oh, he said he was tired outside and missed home, so he returned to Haicheng."
"Missing home?" Xue Chen pondered for a moment, "But the branch is in Sunan City, but he is leaving Haicheng. Since he is homesick, it might not be appropriate to let him leave Haicheng again."
"This... I mentioned the branch to Minghua, and he also knew that he was going to Sunan City. Since he nodded, it means that he has no objection to going to work in Sunan City. Although he left Haicheng City, he is still in Yunnan City after all.
Within the prefecture and province, it only takes half a day to drive there and back." Shen Wanjun said after thinking.
"Wei Minghua..." Xue Chen recited the name silently in his mind, and thought about it in his mind, thinking that since he was the person introduced by Uncle Shen, he had to meet him no matter what, and then consider whether it was suitable or not.
The meeting was scheduled for the evening, in a private room on the second floor of a very ordinary restaurant. Xue Chen and Shen Wanjun arrived first, and Wei Minghua also appeared in front of them.
Just as Uncle Shen said, a man in his mid-thirties, who is past his youth and not yet middle-aged, wears very ordinary clothes and looks very ordinary. The first impression that gave Xue Chen was that this man was thoughtful. He looked very heavy, and his face was a little unhealthy and pale. He sat down expressionlessly, nodded to the two of them, and called Shen Wanjun uncle.
"Minghua, this is the Xue Chen I told you."
Xue Chen nodded calmly and said, "Hello, Mr. Wei."
Wei Minghua turned his attention to Xue Chen's face, smiled lightly, and said in a dry voice: "I have heard about you since I returned to Haicheng, and I also heard Uncle Shen praising you for being great. I heard that you have something A Xuande furnace worth half a billion?"
Looking at Wei Minghua, Xue Chen seemed to see a faint glimmer of envy and jealousy in this man's eyes, but he didn't care much because he had seen a lot.
After a brief chat, Wei Minghua readily agreed to work at the Sunan branch, saying that he was absolutely capable of running a store well.
Through simple contacts and chats, Xue Chen also felt that Wei Minghua had some abilities, not to mention that he was Uncle Shen's former assistant and he had also served as an appraiser in Daxing, so there was some connection there. After thinking about it, I decided to let Wei Minghua take care of it and give it a try after the branch opened.
Wei Minghua can serve as both a manager and an appraiser by himself. Whether it is necessary to hire an additional accountant will be discussed separately.
After eating, the three of them left the restaurant, and Xue Chen got in the car first and left.
Wei Minghua stood next to Shen Wanjun, watching Xue Chen drive away in a powerful and luxurious Mercedes-Benz SUV, with deep jealousy flashing in his eyes, and asked: "Uncle Shen, you said he was an apprentice in Daxing a year ago ?”
"Yeah, I didn't expect that Xue Chen would have what he is today in less than a year." Shen Wanjun didn't notice Wei Minghua's eyes full of jealousy, and watched Xue Chen's car drive away with a smile on his face.
Shen Wanjun felt only happy that Xue Chen had achieved great success in his career and became famous in the antiques circle. He felt like he was watching his own child succeed. There was no jealousy or envy, only blessings.
"What a good life. God is really unfair." Wei Minghua said in a voice that only he could hear. When Shen Wanjun wanted to drive him home, he waved his hand and refused, and walked away alone, his figure disappearing. In the night.
The rising sun in the early morning is like a bride wearing a hijab, waiting for the shy and timid bride to take off her hijab, revealing her charming side, emitting thousands of rays of light to dispel the darkness and cold, and bring light and warmth.
"call."
Xue Chen's breath quickly condensed into a white mist in mid-air, and he walked down from the rock that he had to step on every day with satisfaction, although the spiritual energy in the ancient jade still only increased by 1%. One, but he was satisfied.
In the past, when he collected spiritual energy, he always had to "hungry and full". There was no fixed formula and he had to work hard to think about it and find a way. But now, he can harvest some spiritual energy just by looking at the sunrise every day, which makes him very satisfied. It was very relaxing, as if he could receive a fixed red envelope every day. He just hoped that nothing would go wrong and that he could fill the ancient jade with spiritual energy smoothly.
During this period of time, he has also seriously thought about why there is a situation like "the sun rises in the east, and the spiritual energy enters the jade", but after thinking about it, he can't find an answer. He has checked some books and has no clue. On the contrary, Mr. Huo
What the gentleman said that day caught his attention.
If spiritual energy is really born when the sun rises and dissipates quickly, it would be difficult to be absorbed by the human body. However, the ancient jade 'feeds' on this, so it makes sense that it can take the opportunity to absorb the spiritual energy.
After walking along the lake for a short distance, Xue Chen saw the old man boxing energetically from a distance. His position had not changed. He smiled sincerely and walked over.
When Huo Shaolin saw Xue Chen arriving, there was no change in his expression, but he nodded with satisfaction in his heart, secretly saying that he was quite punctual and had no intention of being lazy.
After exhaling and exhaling, Huo Shaolin's face was rosy, his complexion was excellent, and he was energetic. He said to Xue Chen who was standing aside: "Today I will teach you some basics of tiger-shaped boxing. You must read it carefully and learn it seriously."
, you know. The tiger-shaped person has the style of subduing the tiger to leave its den, and also has the courage to pounce on food..."
Huo Shaolin taught quite seriously. Although Xue Chen didn't agree with it in his heart, he didn't mean to be lazy and idle. He listened to some tips and followed them to perform some basic movements of the Tiger Form Fist from time to time.
Not to mention the so-called understanding, just in terms of physical foundation, Xue Chen is already very good. What Huo Shaolin teaches is basically easy to understand, and all kinds of difficult boxing movements are also childish.
Huo Shaolin was secretly surprised. Xue Chen's performance surprised him. It was beyond his expectation. Thinking about Xue Chen's strength, he was secretly regretful. If Xue Chen wasn't a little older and practiced boxing a little late, he
Maybe he will actually accept Xue Chen as his disciple.
After Xue Chen simply practiced some basic boxing moves, he felt that practicing boxing was quite interesting, especially when combining some moves with Sanda, the effect should be very good when fighting with others.
The old man and the young man practiced for nearly an hour next to the rippling lotus pond. Huo Shaolin, who was slightly tired, waved his hand and signaled that the teaching would be over for today.
Xue Chen nodded respectfully: "Goodbye, Mr. Huo." After saying that, he turned and left.
Immediately after Xue Chen left, two strong and burly men walked from the forest dozens of meters away and accompanied Huo Shaolin along a mountain road to a single-family villa halfway up the mountain overlooking the lotus pond.
Walking into the living room with simple yet luxurious decoration, Huo Shaolin took the towel handed by the nanny and wiped his sweat. He saw a man in his early thirties wearing a suit standing next to the sofa and said lightly: "Xiao Tianlai.
Already."
"Master, are you going to practice boxing again?" the man asked with a smile. He waited until Huo Shaolin sat down and then sat aside.
Huo Shaolin twitched his eyebrows and said: "Xiaotian, work is important, but boxing training is more important. Don't delay. If you let me know that you are lazy, I will slap you. Do you understand?"
"Master, I will keep your teachings in mind." The man smiled flatteringly.
"That's good. The unreasonable old Jingtou said half a year ago that he would come from the capital to see me. I guess he would have to bring his apprentice with him. There will definitely be a competition. Ten years ago, your senior brother lost that
A few tricks from Lao Jingtou's apprentice, this time you have to earn some face for me." Huo Shaolin said. (To be continued)
