"Thank you everyone. I, Qiao Meng, promise here today that my store will never resell high imitations in the future. As long as you find out and verify that it is indeed the items for sale in my store, then I will be ten times more willing.
Pay it back!" Qiao Meng took advantage of the crowd's excitement to give another reassurance.
"good!"
“We will definitely take good care of Qiao Meng’s store from now on!”
"Yes, a treasure appraiser like Boss Qiao won't lie to us. We are definitely not afraid of buying high imitation goods here."
There was another burst of praise. Now it was difficult for their store to be popular. Many opponents were also impressed by Qiao Meng's performance today. They all talked about his strength. In their eyes, Qiao Meng is no longer what he was before.
I think he is just a kid, but he is a real treasure appraiser.
"Then everyone, if you want to choose treasures in our store, please stay. For other friends, please make room. After all, our store is not very big, and there are too many people to move around. Thank you for your cooperation, thank you."
Seeing that the matter was settled, Qiao Meng began to restore the order of the scene to normal.
There was nothing else to watch, and those who needed to leave were almost gone. The few remaining customers who wanted to see if they had anything they liked were handed over to other people in the store to take them with them.
The middle-aged man just now did not leave immediately, but came forward again, wanting to talk to Qiao Meng and Ge Yuling.
Seeing that he seemed to have something to do, Ge Yuling immediately told the employees in the store not to go to the second floor to disturb them if there was no important matter, and then gave Qiao Meng a look to indicate that it was okay.
"Sir, you seem to have something else to say. Let's go to the conference room on the second floor." Qiao Meng nodded and went up to ask the middle-aged man.
The three of them sat down quietly in the conference room.
However, after sitting down, the middle-aged man became silent. It seemed that he wanted to say something but could not say it. Qiao Meng and Ge Yuling also looked at each other and were not in a hurry to stir up the topic first.
Ge Yuling first got up and went to the water dispenser nearby to pour two glasses of water and gave them to the middle-aged man and Qiao Meng. Then she poured another glass herself and returned to her seat.
"Sir, please drink some water first. You must be thirsty after talking so much just now." As the only woman here, Ge Yuling broke the deadlock first.
"Thanks."
The man picked up the water glass and took a sip. After swallowing, he sighed slightly.
well!
"I should apologize to you first. I was the one who intentionally provoked what happened today." After saying that, the man stood up and bowed.
This move made both Qiao Meng and Ge Yuling a little overwhelmed.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, you are the elder, and I have to thank you for letting me find out where I was not careful enough in my work." Qiao Meng directly helped the bowing man up and said with a sincere face.
"I just don't know why you deliberately came to our newly opened store to stir up trouble? As a senior with many years of experience in treasure appraisal like you, I don't think you are doing it to gain any attention, and we have nothing to do with it." Ge
Yuling took the lead in asking the question she had always wanted to know.
So in the conference room, the three of them chatted for more than two hours before it was over.
After this conversation, the problems that troubled Qiao Meng and Ge Yuling were finally solved. It turned out that this middle-aged man was named Li Ka. He had been in the antique world for nearly twenty-five years and had even won a prize.
He has the honor of being a Treasure Appraisal Master and his experience in treasure appraisal can be said to be quite rich.
He also has another identity, that is, Li Qiang's cousin. The reason why he came to Qiao Meng's store to find trouble this time was because of Li Qiang.
Li Qiang had been looking for a chance to get revenge on him after being cheated of more than 7 million by Qiao Meng last time. When he was at a loss, his cousin Li Ka suddenly sent him a message saying that he wanted to come to S City to visit. He heard that he
He was doing well here, so Li Qiang took advantage of Li Ka's hatred of others reselling high-imitation goods and sent him here to cause trouble for Qiao Meng.
It was no coincidence that there happened to be a piece of porcelain that was found to be defective by Li Ka. He didn't care about anything else and immediately convicted the store and determined that Qiao Meng was the kind of person who specialized in selling fake goods.
In fact, based on his many years of experience, if he had not been so impulsive and eager to convict Qiao Meng, he might have been able to find something fishy if he had been allowed to look at it for a while, and there would not have been an oolong incident like today. After all, the two
More than ten years of experience does not come casually.
After knowing that he had been deceived by his cousin, he, who was always upright, felt very angry. He also said that if Qiao Meng went to the provincial capital in the future and needed help, he could come to him.
Qiao Meng's original plan of recruiting a right-hand man fell through, but friendship with a senior is more difficult, so he and Ge Yuling still made a profit.
"Well, senior, Li Qiang and I do have some issues. If there are any issues that need to be resolved between me and him, I hope you don't interfere, which will be the greatest help to me." Qiao Meng said sincerely.
Indeed, Qiao Meng has just started his career now, and his master has just returned from surgery and is still recovering from his injuries. The millions in Kali are not enough at all. Li Qiang's influence in S City is still quite good. After being around for so many years,
Both in terms of connections and financial resources, his background is much richer than that of a person who has just gained supernatural powers and can start his life again. If such a senior with many years of experience hinders him, it will be difficult to get up.
"Brother Qiao, don't worry. I won't interfere with the matter between you and Li Qiang. I have my own principles, so let's stay here for today. We are destined to meet again." Li Ka also understood a little bit about Qiao Meng's worries.
question, so he agreed immediately.
"Thank you, senior."
"Thank you, senior."
Qiao Meng and Ge Yuling both expressed their gratitude to Li Ka. Although such a big boss made a mistake in his store today, if Qiao Meng didn't have super powers, it would be hard to explain, so he is still worth it.
respect.
After seeing off Li Ka, although it was only shortly after noon, there were no customers in the store. This is what antique shops are like. There may be business all at once or there is good material and attract a group of onlookers, or it may be for a long time.
No one came in, most of them just passed by the door.
After inspecting the store again, Qiao Meng suddenly said loudly, "Everyone, come here, I want to announce something."
At this time, the three appraisers and two apprentices in the store put down what they were doing, gathered around, and listened carefully. Ge Yuling stood with Qiao Meng, waiting for him to announce this.
"You guys are doing well. I have a good thing to tell you. I'm only going to say it once." Qiao Meng emphasized again while adjusting everyone's appetite.
"Oh, store manager, please tell me quickly. We are all anxious to death."
One of the smallest apprentices said impatiently.
"Yes!"
"yes!"
The others also echoed.
"Okay, listen up. After these two days of observation, plus today's events, I found that it's not enough for our store to be the only treasure appraiser that customers can trust." Qiao Meng paused again.
, seeing their anxious looks, I felt funny in my heart. Before they could complain, I immediately continued, "So I decided to personally teach you the knowledge of treasure appraisal, so that you can become a treasure appraisal master in the future!"
"Are you serious?" One of the older treasure appraisers said in disbelief.
Because every treasure appraiser has his or her own unique experience, it would be impossible to easily share his or her own unique experience if he did not accept people as apprentices. As the saying goes, if the master teaches his apprentices to starve to death, if he teaches his skills casually,
, then there are already too many treasure appraisers in the society, how come there are still high imitations that dare to appear?
Now everyone is aware of Qiao Meng's skills. Although he is young, he is quick and accurate in appraising treasures and knows all the details very well. After two days of getting along, everyone knows that this young shopkeeper
His research on antiques is as good as those of the older generation, and he can often come up with new insights. He actually shares his own experience and results, which is really unimaginable.
"Don't worry, everyone. Store Manager Qiao keeps his word. I can guarantee that he won't lie to you. I'm supervising him." Ge Yuling also stood up at this time to guarantee his words.
"One more thing, I'm going to say something ugly first. I've taught you things, and we are a family. If you dare to do something that betrays our family, then I will never forgive you. Don't think about surpassing me.
Set up my own business, because I am different from you." Qiao Meng also gave them a warning. After all, if any of them really betrayed him, it would be a big trouble.
"Yes, we understand." All five people replied in unison.
"Manager Qiao, I would like to ask, how are we different?" It was the youngest apprentice who asked the question. He is relatively young and has great curiosity.
"Haha, it actually doesn't matter, because I am the store manager and you are the clerks, that's all. Do you understand?" Qiao Meng also said it casually. After all, he couldn't find any reason to replace the fact that he has special powers.
Something different.
However, although this sentence is said casually, it is indeed true. He is the store manager here, in other words, they are their boss. They are just employees. If they betray, the end will never be easy. This is the reality.
"Understood, we will obey your orders from now on." Several people said in unison, appearing to be a scene of unity and harmony.
"Okay, you can continue to work. I will discuss the specific teaching time with your store manager Qiao and inform you later." Seeing that everything had been explained, Ge Yuling ordered them to return to their respective positions.
"Sister Yuling, I will check all the items in the store in the past two days. After making sure that everything is fine, let's make the next step." Qiao Meng said in a consultative tone.
