Chapter 0706 – Museum Opening (II)
“How much money has been collected?”
Zhuang Rui casually asked, this will be busy like a rabbit father, which he had time to look at the money credited?
Then again, Zhuang Rui this opening ceremony, is ready to lose money, a total of more than three hundred well-known domestic collectors experts, are determined to come, plus the red envelope of the various news media units, not five million is not taken down.
“Brother Zhuang, a total of one million three hundred and eighty thousand has been collected.”
Xiao Jing couldn’t hide the excitement on her face, although both she and Daxiong’s salary were not low now, they had never seen that much money! In the two cardboard boxes under her, they were already piled high with money.
“What? There’s over a million dollars?”
Zhuang Rui heard is also ate a shock, he felt can have a two or three hundred thousand is already terrific, did not think that this only came to seventy or eighty people, actually the gift of more than one million, that turn back to come together, then, afraid of not their own expenses of five million, all make up for the back?
But Zhuang Rui a little puzzled, he has been standing here, as if the cash is not so much right?
“Yes, it’s more than a million, Brother Zhuang, these people are giving cash checks.”
Xiao Jing pointed to a few names on the book, Zhuang Rui roughly glanced at it, like Bai Feng and other people’s gift figures are 50,000, and a few people from Hong Kong, such as the Parker siblings and Mr. Zheng, are 200,000, they are also conforming to China’s national conditions, or else giving three to five million, it would not be a big deal for them.
Zhuang Rui can not help but laugh bitterly in his heart, these are all favors ah! It seems that he will have to find a housekeeper or assistant in the future, specializing in helping himself to take care of these miscellaneous things.
Chinese people are most concerned about face, in case someone else has a wedding or funeral store opening things, self to forget, then it can offend others to death.
Think about this but two or three hours of work, received millions of congratulatory gift money, Zhuang Rui heart is also secretly staggering, remember when I was small, someone in the neighborhood to get married, give a five ten, are considered to be out of the way, this time is just a difference of more than ten years, but the favor, but it is up thousands of times more.
“Five children, do you want to go in and rest a bit, brother to keep an eye on you?”
Today Zhuang Rui’s museum opened, Ouyang Jun is also considered the main house, just now inside to accompany some people to talk, but he is not inside the circle of antiques, in addition to Bai Feng can chat a few words, and others have nothing in common, stayed for a while and ran out.
“No need, fourth brother, there will be a leader coming later, just help me greet him.”
Zhuang Rui is really tired not light, this immediately to noon, the sun hot sun in the body, is that the winter warm summer cool silk robe, but also by the sweat soaked paste on the body.
“What leaders want me to receive?”
Ouyang Jun skimmed his mouth, said unimpressed, although he is not mixed officialdom, but Beijing City today can come to participate in the opening of the museum, but also let him condescend to meet the people, but there are really not a few.
“Come on, Fourth Brother, you go cool off inside! I’m going to be busy.”
Zhuang Rui saw a group of people carrying five or six flower baskets coming over in the distance, and hastily welcomed down the steps, Zhuang Rui has no class distinction in his mind, come are guests, are to give themselves face, there is no such thing as favoritism, basically every one who comes, he is personally welcome to the front.
“Boss Zhuang, congratulations! You didn’t send an invitation, little brother is here uninvited.”
This group of people Zhuang Rui is no stranger, dare to say that the capital city big young man, Yang Bo classmate led, and inside there are several people, are once in his jewelry store made trouble, at this moment after seeing Zhuang Rui, is also full of congratulations.
“Oh, Yang less say what words, this is not afraid of you busy no time well, brother several, all go inside to sit!”
Zhuang Rui to these people have no good feelings, but there is no bad feelings, this half a year, this gang of capital city playboys, but helped a lot of jewelry store business, at least there are tens of millions of dollars.
“Boss Zhuang, let me introduce to you, this is the family mother.”
Yang Bo heard Zhuang Rui’s words, but he didn’t move, and gave his body away, a middle-aged woman dressed in a fashionable manner, appeared in front of Zhuang Rui.
“Oh, so it’s Ms. Zhao, small store opening, alarm you, how sorry.”
Zhuang Rui knew that the woman in front of him, who looked graceful and probably only in her thirties, was actually already in her fifties, and more than ten years ago, from a small restaurant, she developed into the current Catering Group, which was a character that should not be underestimated.
“Mr. Zhuang is too polite, last time, my youngest child was rude, and I have been saying that I would apologize to you in person.”
Ms. Zhao’s posture was put lower, the tone of her speech, just like a peer to peer, she was just a businessman, she didn’t have that bottom to pose as an elder in front of Zhuang Rui.
In ancient times, there are rankings of the scholar, farmer, industrialist and businessman, business is the most lowly and no status of the profession, like the history of Fan Li, assisted Goujian to destroy Wu, the credit is huge, but due to the late business, and finally because of the abandonment of the official business experience, so that he did not have the opportunity to be included in the annals of history with historical celebrities.
Of course, in modern society, farming is considered the most unproductive, and whether a person can make money or not has almost become the only criterion to measure his ability.
But inside a certain level of society, it was still the officials who came first, and businessmen, even if their business was big, still had to tuck their tails in front of certain people.
“Ms. Zhao is not saying anything, come …… here, inside please.”
Except for girls under the age of ten such as Nui Nui, Zhuang Rui is really not very good at dealing with women, and after a polite sentence, he lets his body pass and invites this group of people to sit inside.
Zhuang Rui in the transformation of the museum at the beginning, leaving a conference room that can accommodate more than five hundred people, in order to prepare for future academic exchanges with, but also thanks to the museum’s conference room is large enough, or today I’m afraid that most people will have to accompany themselves outside in the sun.
“This is …… Mr. Ouyang, right?”
Walking to the entrance of the museum, Ms. Zhao stood still, because she saw Ouyang Jun. In the city of the Four Nine, people whose business had reached a certain scale, there were not many who did not recognize Ouyang Jun.
Moreover, Ms. Zhao is a catering business, some time ago, she heard that Ouyang Jun wanted to transfer the club, she has been trying to find someone to talk about it, the purpose of her coming here today is also to see if she can meet Ouyang Jun, she didn’t expect to run into him before she even entered the door.
“Fourth brother, you greet Ms. Zhao!”
Zhuang Rui saw that someone else had come outside, so he hurriedly excused himself, not caring if Ouyang Jun was happy or not, so he arranged an errand for him.
Behind the people who came, mostly some government departments, there are leaders of the Beijing Museum Division, there are also industrial, commercial and tax officials, Zhuang Rui in addition to recognizing that has been promoted to the secretary of the former district office director, other than one do not know.
These people naturally handed over to Huangfu Yun to entertain, do not look at some people not much, but the real power is not small, as the saying goes, the county official is not as good as the current management, these people must be careful to serve, of course, can be an official in the capital, there is no one who will not be on the road to Zhuang Rui on the eye.
With the opening time step by step approaching, come to more people, this antique circle of people okay, recognize do not know have a word, but those travel agencies, leaders at all levels, need to be accompanied by someone, not to mention Zhuang Rui, that is, from Pangcheng specially rushed to Liu Chuan Zhao Guodong, are busy.
Ouyang family, in addition to Ouyang Jun to the scene, Ouyang Lei several brothers, although did not come, but also sent a flower basket, the entire museum entrance around one or two hundred meters, full of all kinds of celebratory flower baskets, so that passers-by can not help but stop and watch.
“Elder brother Zhuang, the teacher is here, hurry up and welcome me.”
Just when Zhuang Rui busy gasping for breath, fat man Jin suddenly ran out from inside, wearing less in summer, the two pieces of flab in front of the chest, like a woman that something like, up and down swinging.
“Didn’t the master say to come in the afternoon?”
Zhuang Rui froze for a moment at the words, but still followed Fatty Jin towards the parking lot side, before he reached the parking lot, he saw the master sitting in a wheelchair, pushed over by his nephew.
“Sir, how dare I trouble you to come on this hot day!”
Zhuang Rui grabbed an umbrella, ran to the wheelchair, and hurriedly shaded the master from the sun, compared to the last time he saw the old man, his face was much better, it seems that his own Reiki, for the recovery of the old man’s bodily functions, is still very effective.
“Xiao Zhuang ah! You want to revitalize traditional culture, the old man has nothing to give away, he can only come to support the scene!”
The old man was in good humor, but his eyes couldn’t stop looking at the walls behind the flower basket, on those walls, there were spray-painted images of the various pavilions in the museum, which were very beautifully made.
The old man looked very carefully, from time to time also looked up to Zhuang Rui asked a few questions, the spirit of the good, simply does not seem to be more than 90 years old.
Originally sat in the conference room chatting antique world crowd, heard the master came, that ass can no longer sit, hula from the door crowded out.
This will also see the status of the crowd in the antique line, Mr. Ma lead, master of a few students followed, in addition to the museum experts and professors, the last to rank those more famous collectors.
Like Zhengzhou to the manager of Zhang and others, that only stand outside the circle to watch from afar.
Masters come, Zhuang Rui that is must accompany the side, because the old man is really too old, their own side, in case of a little something, can be in time to save a little.
When entering the conference room, Zhuang Rui released a trace of aura, disappeared into the body of the master, from the outside into the air-conditioned room, violently cool, but did not cause Mr. attention.
“Secretary Wang? What’s he doing on the phone?”
Zhuang Rui was accompanying the old man to chat, holding the museum color pages to the old man, when the phone suddenly rang, looked down the dot display, Zhuang Rui was a little puzzled.
