Chapter 0599 – Master Ge (I)

“Zhuang boss, you come, inside please ……”

Zhuang Rui just into the “Xuan Rui Zhai” Zhao Hanxuan welcomed up, after a month of New Year’s recuperation, Zhao Hanxuan recovered a lot of color, this time wearing a robe and coat, let Zhuang Rui recalled the first time I saw him.

The old Zhao will be a boss, elegant, but now it looks like, although the face is almost restored, but the temperament, it is a feeling that something is missing.

“Oh, Lao Zhao, listening to you, how do I feel like a guest!”

Zhuang Rui smiled and walked in, the store’s monkey and Daxiong saw Zhuang Rui come over, is also a mouth a “Brother Zhuang” to go forward to greet.

“You are the boss, but just came a little less, Mr. Zhuang, things I have done, that master will come over in the afternoon …….”

Zhao Hanxuan let Zhuang Rui to the store for guests to rest place, smiled and joked with Zhuang Rui.

“Oh? So soon? There aren’t many old craftsmen nowadays.”

Zhuang Rui suddenly thought of something yesterday, he had the seal material, but lacked a master to carve the seal! Many people, after purchasing the seal stone, for convenience, will entrust the seal selling place to give seal engraving, if the store does not have such a person, it is also very inconvenient.

So Zhuang Rui yesterday to Zhao Hanxuan made a phone call, asked him to recognize the seal engraving master, did not expect to come today, the old Zhao to find a good person, this is if you do Zhuang Rui, may be where to scratch blindly it!

Zhao Hanxuan nodded and said: “Yes! Now are machine engraving seal, few people hand seal engraving, boss Zhuang, I invited this is a master, decades of craftsmanship, we can not give a low wage ah!”

“Oh? How much is the salary?” Zhuang Rui asked.

“I mentioned to Master Ge, the monthly salary is about five thousand, if you agree, I will call him to go ……”

Although Zhuang Rui said that when he was not there, the size of this store is his own personal master, but Zhao Hanxuan still distinguish between the main and secondary, involving the entry and exit of personnel, or let the boss clap better.

“Five thousand dollars …….”

Zhuang Rui pondered for a moment, then said, “Good, five thousand on five thousand, old Zhao you call him! Also if business is good, the salary can be added ……”

Zhao Hanxuan said computer seal engraving machine, Zhuang Rui also know, general small and mid-range computer seal engraving machine, the price of 2500 to 2800 yuan or so, even if it is a better precision type crafts seal engraving machine, the price is only 3300 yuan up and down, the cost is considered to be very inexpensive.

Now a lot of repair watch engraving stalls, with these machines, which is cheaper than asking a seal engraving master, and time is also fast.

However, Zhuang Rui open is a curio store, about the development of traditional culture, this store is sold in the curio, if the whole on so a computerized automatic seal engraving machine, inevitably some inappropriate, so Zhuang Rui decided to manual engraving, even if a little bit more expensive, it does not matter.

Another thing is that, the effect of machine engraving out of the seal, relatively dull, not hand engraved seal of the rounded stretch, this is also Zhuang Rui to ask the engraving master one of the reasons.

And these seal engraving masters to help customers seal engraving, that is also to charge, as long as the seal stone sells well, this wage may be able to make up for the money back.

Even if the loss of so half a point, Zhuang Rui also do not care, this store is to pass the time and dispose of the batch of jewelry from Burma, Zhuang Rui did not expect “Xuan Rui Zhai” to earn any big money.

After Zhao Hanxuan went to call, the monkey came up, face a little snappy to Zhuang Rui said: “Zhuang brother, these two days business is not good, only sold out a string of pearl necklace, more than eighty thousand dollars, but this look at the people is quite a lot, is to bargain, I have not sold …… ”

This period of time stationery side of the business is very good, almost every day there are tens of thousands of dollars of turnover, and their own side made a single business, Zhuang Rui so good to them, the monkey can’t sell the object, the heart feels a little bit to Zhuang Rui.

“Oh, monkey, stay in Beijing city still accustomed to?”

Zhuang Rui did not take the monkey’s words, but smiled and pulled the topic away.

“Used to, brother Zhuang, you do not see me now a mouthful of authentic Beijing dialect, hey, Daxiong daughter-in-law also said to introduce me to a girlfriend!”

A say life things, monkey to energy, this Beijing city is not Pengcheng comparable, is a modern atmosphere and the ancient cultural atmosphere is extremely harmonious fusion of the metropolis, and very inclusive, from all over the world, can find their own place here.

Especially monkeys and Daxiong before in Pengcheng mixed but not good, now in Beijing, January 10,000 dollars of base salary, that is also considered a white-collar family, go out can hold their heads high.

Of course, with the level of these two goods, do not know what is called petty cash, the bar is not to go, at most find a stall to buy a few bottles of beer to mouth blowing.

“Haha, you kid, is not no girlfriend ah?”

Zhuang Rui smiled and laughed, look at the monkey that blush look, may not be their own really said right.

“Brother Zhuang, my monkey back then in Pengcheng, that is people see people love, flowers see flowers open, Daxiong than I can be far worse.”

Men are most afraid of others say he has no woman, monkey heard this anxious, spittle flying bragged.

“Come on, come on, don’t brag, these days I have time, call Daxiong and Xiao Jing then, come out for dinner together!”

Zhuang Rui hurriedly interrupted the monkey’s words, then said, “These things are not in a hurry to sell, the price can only go up, not down, antique store is three years do not open, open to eat for three years, so when selling things to be calm, put out a look of love to buy not to buy to, do not let the people feel that we are rushing to sell the same… …”

Zhuang Rui see the monkey mood relaxed, began to tell him the doorway of the curio store, before the monkey and Daxiong sing a double act, that is afraid of others do not buy things, think of ways to trick others to pay money.

But the curio store can be different, not to mention the “Xuan Rui Zhai” is open in Panjiayuan, is the whole of a deep hutong to go, that is not afraid of the deep alley, as long as there is a good thing, some people can not hold that temptation.

Now these days, almost universal collection of the times, some people do not pretend to understand the antique market to go around, this base is very large.

And not all play collection are rich people, some people are shy, but also optimistic about a certain object, in order to talk about the price, and even run a few dozen trips, it depends on the seller can not hold the strength, who can stick to the end, that who is the winner.

After listening to Zhuang Rui’s words, the monkey scratched his head with some embarrassment and said, “Brother Zhuang, I know, Manager Zhao has also told me this reasoning, it’s just that there are some habits that I can’t change, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future.”

“Oh, monkey, this thing does not need to be anxious, nothing to stay in the store, go out and listen to more stories, the doorway here is more than Pengcheng, you will understand after a long time.”

Zhuang Rui patted the monkey’s shoulder, he brought people out from Pengcheng, it is always necessary to give them a good future, and these two people are loyal enough, in the future, they will definitely be able to help themselves.

Zhuang Rui’s way of thinking now, more and more close to the identity of the boss, a successful person, not only their own success, under the hands of a gang of people to fight.

Although Zhuang Rui’s situation is relatively special, in the accumulation of the original funds do not need to help, but it is not guaranteed that in the future the industry is bigger, can not do everything personally!

After pacifying the monkey, Zhuang Rui and Daxiong chat for a while, learned that there are indeed many customers, in the purchase of the four treasures, will ask whether there are seals for sale, Daxiong is also very optimistic about the future of the seal stone business.

At noon Zhuang Rui did not go, stay in the “Xuan Rui Zhai” and they ate a fast food, because the seal master will come in the afternoon, Zhuang Rui would like to try his craft how, in the Xuan Rui Zhai, Zhuang Rui brought a few small pieces of chicken blood stone, simply processed, is a seal material.

“Master Ge, this is the boss of ‘Xuan Rui Zhai’, Boss Zhuang, you guys know each other ……”

Afternoon more than one time, a more than sixty years of age, not tall hale and hearty old man walked into the “Xuan Rui Zhai” Zhao Hanxuan greeted after, to Zhuang Rui introduced.

“Master Ge, I am young, do things like straight, although the machine processing seal, the cost to be much cheaper, but that is also lost the old ancestors of the craft, that’s why I asked you to come, but ……”

When Zhuang Rui said here, his wrist flipped, and a rectangular piece of chicken blood stone appeared in his palm, although the shape was not particularly regular, but the bottom surface was smooth, which was intentionally cut out by Zhuang Rui in the beginning.

After taking out the bloodstone, Zhuang Rui then just said: “But I am open for business, this craft is good or bad but will affect the credibility of our store, Ge master is not ……”.

Words here, has been very clear, Zhuang Rui this is in the interview, is a mule is a horse, have to pull out to slip.

“Become!”

This Ge master is a quick person, mouth promised a sound after, took over the Zhuang Rui handed over the bloodstone, the black leather bag on their hands to open, from the inside out of a cloth sewn cummerbund to.

Zhuang Rui see, in this pouch inside, inserted more than a dozen carving knives of different sizes and shapes, see Ge master of this style, Zhuang Rui heart is believed a few points, not the old craftsmen, not many people will use these guys and gals.

“This is Changhua chicken blood stone, the texture is general, carved out of the seal, belongs to the middle grade seal stone, but after my modification, the price should be able to sell some higher ……”

Ge master picked out a carving knife from the pouch, while talking to Zhuang Rui, while carving up on that chicken blood stone, the words are very confident.
