Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters turn up some waves
Everything was ready. Xue Chen and Li Lingchun took a little time and decided on the specific date to open the store. It was just six days later, April 1st, which was the turn of spring and summer and the time when everything revived.
When a new store opens, it is natural to invite guests to the scene. Li Lingchun said that at least everyone on the street must say hello and send out invitations.
Xue Chen was already familiar with opening a new store, and he knew what to do without Li Lingchun having to say anything.
As for his relatives and friends in his hometown in Yunzhou, he also specifically informed them that because the journey was far away, there was no need to make the trip. He also said that this was not the first time to open a branch, and it would not be the last, so there was no need to travel hard.
, came all the way here.
Generally speaking, when a store opens, it is necessary to light a hanging whip to make it festive, but this time it is not possible, of course because of the relevant strict regulations.
According to regulations, fireworks and firecrackers are not allowed to be set off casually within the fifth ring road, let alone within the second ring road. Setting off fireworks and firecrackers is really making yourself uncomfortable. Furthermore, Liulichang Ancient Culture Street is a cultural relics protection site and is also under the express decree.
It is prohibited to set off firecrackers.
Zhuge Yi also said with a smile that although the antique shop cannot avoid the smell of copper, it is at least somewhat elegance. It is not bad to not set off firecrackers, and it will look more sober.
On the day of the opening, Xue Chen drove to Liulichang early, but in the car, his cell phones kept coming, all filled with congratulatory text messages.
"Brother Xue, I originally planned to go there, but these two are preparing for their wedding and they really can't get away. When you come back, I'll treat you to a drink and have a good business." This was what Qi Hu sent.
"Humph, you are so impressive. You have opened a store in the capital. Yunzhou Province is not enough for you. One day, when I am happy, I will go and patronize." This is naturally Ning Xuanxuan's.
"Xue Chen, let's open the branch today. We are in a different place. We have to consider everything carefully. If you have any difficulties, you can discuss it with me..." Uncle Shen didn't say much, but he was full of care.
There were more than 20 text messages from Lin Lin Zongzong, which made Xue Chen a little confused.
Even some college classmates with whom he had little contact sent messages, which surprised him. He didn't expect that these people actually knew that he had opened a branch in Beijing.
"Xue Chen, you have opened a branch in Beijing? Congratulations, congratulations. I am also working in Beijing. Let's get together someday and I will be the host." The signature was Gao Feng, a college classmate.
Of course he didn't know that these were all coming from Wang Dong's mouth. What's more, now he can be said to be the one who has made the most achievements among all the classmates in the entire class and is also the one who has changed the most. How many classmates are watching him?
Naturally, I can't hide the fact of opening a branch.
If he opens the KouKou group of his college classmates, he will find that he has accumulated hundreds of messages that he has not read, and most of them are discussing the opening of his fourth store.
Especially those students who were working hard in the capital. When they learned that Xue Chen had also come to the capital and opened a branch here, they all asked Wang Dong and Du Tao more questions. When they found out that it was opened in Liulichang Ancient Culture Street,
I still bought the whole store and couldn't help but take a breath.
Only students who live in the capital can experience that indescribable surprise. There are many opportunities in the capital and the salary is high. It is certain that many students envy them, but they are not able to express their hardships.
The high salary is useless. It’s not destined to settle down here. Even if you bite the bullet and barely make a down payment, you may not know how remote the location is. Don’t think about it if you are within the Fifth Ring Road. When you go out, your mobile phone will not receive "
"Hebei Mobile welcomes you" is pretty good.
Within the second ring road, it is completely a legendary place. Every inch of soil and gold are devalued, and every inch of soil is worth gold.
"Xue Chen, have you opened a new store? Congratulations and good luck with your opening."
This was a simple sentence sent by Luo Bing, but Xue Chen read it twice. No need to guess, he knew that he must have heard it from Wang Dong.
Today is the first day of business. Both Li Lingchun and the two waiters have specially changed their outfits and look particularly energetic.
Looking at the clean lobby and the dozens of antiques placed on the shelves, Xue Chen was filled with joy. In any case, the store had finally put up the shelves.
As old friends, Gao Dewei and Jing Yunxing naturally arrived earlier. They both brought opening flower baskets and placed them in front of the door. They smiled and said some words of congratulations after entering.
Not long after, Zhuge Yi also came, and with him was Gu Dezhou, the shopkeeper of Gude Zhai, whom he had also met.
"Mr. Xue, long time no see." When Gu Dezhou saw Xue Chen, he nodded and clasped his fists. He recalled what happened on the day of the 20th anniversary celebration as if it happened yesterday, and he still felt incredible towards Xue Chen.
"Shopkeeper Gu, please come in." Xue Chen returned the greeting with clasped fists.
Then, the owners and shopkeepers of some shops on Jiguge, Qingyuntang, and Ziqilou streets also stepped through the threshold one by one, and there were many flower baskets piled in front of the door, adding to the joy.
Although Xue Chen didn't know these people very well, fortunately, Zhuge Yi and Li Lingchun were there. They helped introduce Xue Chen and also helped him receive them, so as to avoid losing etiquette.
As soon as these future neighbors entered the store, they smiled, but their eyes kept looking around, looking at the decoration of the store, and even the furnishings in the store. The first sight naturally fell on the wooden shelves in the lobby.
on the many antiques.
Most of them are old people, and they have developed enough eyesight for a long time. They can tell almost at a glance whether something is good or bad, its approximate age, and its value.
I glanced around and saw that nine out of ten of the dozens of antiques displayed in the lobby were of very good quality and were worth millions or even millions. I was secretly shuddered and a little shocked.
.
If you put millions of utensils in Beijing, a place where rich people are everywhere, they cannot be said to be ordinary goods. They are all very precious. They have to be put away properly in every store, and the quantity should not be too large.
But as soon as I entered the store and scanned it, I saw more than 30 items, all of which were genuine and high-quality products. How could I not be surprised? Although I knew in my heart that this was to build momentum for the new store.
It's impossible to really put it here and sell it casually, but to be able to bring out so many things is commendable, and it shows extraordinary confidence.
"It looks like we can really stir up some waves in Liulichang." Many people thought in their minds.
"Everyone, please go upstairs and have a seat." Li Lingchun has adapted to his new identity very well. He is greeting the guests who come into the store to sit upstairs and have tea and snacks. When he notices the old acquaintances on this street seeing the store
His eyes changed with the good things displayed inside, and his chest couldn't help but puff up a little.
He used to run Haoqi Zhai, and the business was tepid. The biggest reason was that he didn't have good channels to get good enough goods to attract people's attention. If he could have such a big hand as Xue Chen, even if the rent increased, he wouldn't have to worry about it.
Can't open it.
Many of the guests present were interested in the utensils displayed in the lobby on the first floor and wanted to talk about it, but Li Lingchun smiled and waved his hand: "We just opened today, so we don't want to talk about business."
Those people had no choice but to give up.
Guests came in waves, and there were more than 20 people in total, and they all went to the second floor to sit down.
Xue Chen was about to sit down on the chair next to the door on the first floor and take a sip of water. Suddenly, two people walked in, bringing with them a burst of elegant fragrance. You didn't need to look up to know who was coming.
"Xue Chen, congratulations on your successful opening." Han Shiying took off her peaked cap and sunglasses, smiled brightly and held her fists, her eyes were bright and her teeth were bright, she was indescribably charming.
Sister Tao on the side also nodded, glanced at the store, and praised: "It's really good." The location is good, the store is good, and the people are of course also good.
Xue Chen just wanted to invite the two of them to come in and sit down, but Han Shiying shook her head and said with a smile: "Sister Tao and I just came over to have a look, and we will stay soon. I don't know those people, so you have to bother to entertain them."
The two of us can just come over and take a look, I won't bother you."
"Okay then." Xue Chen thought about it. There was a group of antique dealers upstairs, and none of them were young. They were all in their forties or fifties. It was really against the rules for Han Shiying to sit with these people.
If we can't even chat together, we will probably feel very uncomfortable.
"I'll give it to you two."
Xue Chen walked out to see off Han Shiying and Sister Tao, but as soon as he went out, he saw two people walking to the door, one walking in front, followed by another carrying a celebration flower basket.
When he saw the person coming, Xue Chen moved his eyebrows and said somewhat unexpectedly: "Mr. Rong?"
The person who came was none other than Rong Tianfeng, the grandson of General Rong Yi.
Rong Tianfeng saw Xue Chen, glanced at it, and said calmly: "I heard that you opened a branch in Beijing, so I came here to congratulate you." After saying that, he nodded to the people on the side to put down the flower basket.
As soon as the flower basket was put down, Rong Tianfeng turned around and was about to leave, but before taking two steps, he turned back and said, "By the way, don't forget the deal you made with my grandfather."
"I can't forget it." Xue Chen responded.
It wasn't until Rong Tianfeng walked away that Han Shiying said thoughtfully: "Xue Chen, who is this person? I feel he looks familiar. I should have seen him before."
"Maybe, his name is Rong Tianfeng." Xue Chen said.
Sister Tao remembered this person first and blurted out: "I remember, Rong Tianfeng? That Rong family, the grandson of General Rong Yi?"
Han Shiying also remembered that she had indeed met Rong Tianfeng at a high-profile dinner. She had a deep memory. At that time, Rong Tianfeng was surrounded by everyone. She even heard that this man was a descendant of a general and was already in the military at a young age.
He holds important positions in the energy department and is even known as one of the Eight Elites in Beijing.
"Oh, that's him." Xue Chen nodded.
Sister Tao turned her head and glanced at the celebration flower basket that was delivered. When she saw the signature on it was Rong Yi, she felt a chill in her heart.
"You and he are friends, but they look a bit different." Han Shiying said.
"Friends, not really, just a general relationship, just acquaintances." Xue Chen said lightly. This is also true. He and Rong Tianfeng are indeed not friends, but they can talk to Rong Yi. (To be continued)
