Chapter 0541 – Rui Xuan Zhai

“4.5 million RMB? Boss Zhuang. Didn’t we say 600,000 yuan a year, 7 years should be 4.2 million, this extra 300,000 yuan is ……”

Zhao Hanxuan took a contract on the table, first found the amount there, a look, froze, he did not know the number on this contract, why than the negotiated more than 300,000 dollars.

As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch, Zhao Hanxuan this period of time ago, just because you want to take advantage of and planted a big heel, at this time, quite a bit of the feeling of the bird of prey.

“Old Zhao, you first read that other contract, read it and then we will talk ……”

Zhuang Rui smiled and waved his hand, seeing that his niece was curiously surveying the store, so he bent down and picked up Nui Nui, walking to a waist-high square table.

Stores that sell stationery are sure to have a writing table, which is also a place to display China’s unique traditional culture, many foreigners who come to China to travel are often there just because of the magical brushwork. And out of money to buy rice paper brush as well as ink stone.

Shu Ya Zhai here was no exception, the table placed in the middle of the store was for guests to test their brushes.

“Nui Nui, uncle will write you a brush character, okay?”

Zhuang Rui spread out a three-foot square piece of rice paper, picked a wolf-hair brush at the brush holder, held it in his hand and turned his wrist to gesture for a while, feeling not bad.

Zhuang Rui from elementary school when he studied calligraphy, of course, just hobby, on the stage, and then learn antique appraisal, but for the calligraphy of the deeper understanding of some of the speculation, he asked although the writing is not very good, but it should not go out of shape, so dare to make a fool of themselves under the eyes of the public.

“Uncle, what are you going to write?” Little Nui Nui reached out to grab Zhuang Rui’s brush, Zhuang Rui hastily handed over this little girl to his brother-in-law, the New Year’s Day smeared into a big flower face but not good.

Someone wants to make a book on the spot, the original store guests, also have surrounded up, this is a good opportunity to observe, just where do they know, Zhuang Rui this is spontaneous, not at all the calligraphy world.

“Good!”

“Well written!”

After thinking for a while, Zhuang Rui waved the brush and wrote down the words “New Year’s Day, Jiejie number Changchun”.

Although in the distribution of the font sparse and rounded connection, slightly lacking. But five fingers together, the pen power is quite strong, in the eyes of the layman, it is not bad, the scene came from a burst of praise.

“Offer ugly, offer ugly ……”

Zhuang Rui arched his hand to the surroundings, he still has a self-awareness, if this word is placed in the eyes of connoisseurs, that and just learned to write penmanship of schoolchildren about the same, everywhere broken, just New Year’s Eve write out to play only.

“Boss Zhuang this couplet has a moral ah!”

Zhuang Rui from thinking to these out of these words, there are ten minutes of time, Zhao Hanxuan is already finished reading the contract, at this time came over to a scene, but he said the couplet is good, but did not say Zhuang Rui write good, understand this people, have been kindly laughed.

Zhuang Rui wrote “New Year Na Yuqing, Jiajie number Changchun” this pair of couplets, is indeed a very deep meaning.

According to the “Song History – Shu Shiji”, the then Lord of Hou Shu, Meng Chang, had ordered Bachelor Zhang Xun to write a poem on a peach tree. Had made the bachelor Zhang Xun in the peach wood made of board wrote down this pair of couplets, which is China’s first spring couplets, because the original is written on the peach wood, so until the Song Dynasty, spring couplets are still known as “peach symbols”.

Can browse the study four treasures store of the country, most are fond of calligraphy culture, some know this allusion to the people, explained to the bystanders, don’t look at just a simple couplet, can be written out, or to have a very deep knowledge of Chinese literature.

Zhuang Rui’s this throws a brick to attract jade, but let some people who feel good about themselves, also have to ask to write a few words, New Year’s Eve is supposed to be a figure of a lively, who will not care about a little ink and pen, Zhao Hanxuan found a fellow, to the crowd arranged up.

“Mr. Zhuang, let’s take a step to talk, okay?”

Zhao Hanxuan this outside of the store now has twenty to thirty people, plus someone wants to make a book on the spot, and crowded in a group of onlookers, indeed some noise, not a place to talk.

“Good ……” Zhuang Rui nodded, and the two of them entered the inner compartment.

“Lao Zhao, this contract also read, feel how, sign or not?”

After today, Zhuang Rui is going to be busy, and there is no time to beat around the bush with Lao Zhao. Opened the door and asked.

“Boss Zhuang, this is me taking advantage of ah! Without saying, Lao Zhao I signed, and this store to me to take care of, you can rest assured! Can’t go wrong.”

Zhao Hanxuan at this time in the face of Zhuang Rui this young man, the heart is not only admiration, but also to its have a kind of look up to the feeling, because if replaced by their own, not to say down the well, but absolutely not give such a contract.

Zhuang Rui’s contract, the extra 300,000, which has been noted, is paid in advance to the old Zhao 10 months of wages, for this, Zhao Hanxuan is nothing grateful to Zhuang Rui’s idea, but the latter clause, indeed let Zhao Hanxuan moved, Zhuang Rui’s vigor is also admired.

Zhuang Rui took to Lao Zhao, is two contracts, one is the “Shu Ya Zhai” transfer contract, this contract is very simple. Only some transfer terms, but in another employment contract, but there are a few more special places.

Zhuang Rui in this contract, there is such a clause, that is, when the goods in the book of Ya Zhai, sales inventory clear, new into the four treasures of the study of sales, Zhao Hanxuan accounted for twenty percent of the total gross profit, that is to say, Zhuang Rui sent more than two percent of the share of the stationery to Zhao Hanxuan, but also do not have to pay a little money.

Some friends may feel that this twenty percent is not a lot. That’s wrong, written above is the gross profit, that is, total sales minus the main cost of profit, specific point is only subtracted from the cost of goods into the price.

This does not include things like water and electricity, rent, depreciation and loss, staff wages and many other expenses, Zhao Hanxuan did so many years of business, he understands in his heart, if the serious calculation, may be Zhuang Rui last in the literary utensils on the money earned, not as much as their own it!

Old Zhao on the “Shu Ya Zhai” business situation is the most clear, those stocks, at most six months to sell out, in this case, in six months, Zhao Hanxuan is equal to run their own business, and do not need to bear a little bit of risk, if you do well, perhaps not less than the money earned before.

Zhao Hanxuan also see, Zhuang Rui ready to operate the focus, is the antique jewelry class of objects, but his store is large enough, divided into so a piece, and will not affect the sales of stationery.

Zhuang Rui give this condition, not afraid of Zhao Hanxuan not play hard to do, this is his most admire Zhuang Rui’s place, want to horse run, first give the horse grass.

To be honest, before Zhao Hanxuan heart still have some dissatisfaction, their own store rather than sell their bodies, Zhuang Rui put the two things together, using their own urgent money dilemma, to be tied to the self in this year.

Lao Zhao in the call to Zhuang Rui, although the mouth is a promise, the heart is not very comfortable, but after seeing the contract, that a little dissatisfaction has long since dissipated.

“Lao Zhao, you don’t have to thank me, I’m not familiar with the operation of literary objects. Do not understand at all, in the future, even if you bring me out two disciples, I’m afraid that in the business will still be blind, you have been doing this business for so many years, give it to you to operate, everyone has money to earn, why not!”

Zhuang Rui gave this contract, also after a long time of thinking, only to make this decision, although he had two candidates in his mind to take over the old Zhao’s class, but think about it, those two goods I’m afraid that is to learn a two years, may not see to be able to get out of the teacher, then in the piece of literary house, they certainly can not do it.

And this store area is large enough, Zhuang Rui business antiques and jade, only need a small piece of space on it, so he still wants to continue to do the business of the literary room, which requires the old Zhao after a year, continue to do here.

Zhuang Rui knows that people who have been bosses themselves before, it is very difficult to go back to work for someone else, because many people are psychologically unable to accept this kind of transformation, they would rather sit up again from a small business and start from scratch, but also are not willing to go to listen to other people’s yelling.

Especially for those like Lao Zhao, who are themselves in the cultural circle, are relatively noble and value face, if there is no contract that can satisfy the other party, then Lao Zhao will definitely leave the store after one year’s agreement.

If that’s the case, after a year Zhuang Rui also can not continue to operate the business of the literary class, so give the old Zhao this condition, seems Zhuang Rui quite a loss, in fact, is taking advantage of the cheap, after all, he does not expect the business of the literary class to make a lot of money, can be more than a point of growth in profits, is equal to that is to pick up for nothing.

“Lao Zhao, I’m leaving Beijing tomorrow, formalities these things, the trouble you go to handle the next, in addition to find a few workers, the outside a little remodeling, do some glass display cabinets, to upscale some of the other things wait for me to come back to talk about it!”

Zhuang Rui explained the old Zhao a few sentences later, suddenly remembered something, and quickly said, “Right, the name of this store should be changed, it will be changed to Rui Xuan Zhai!” Zhuang Rui took out a pen and paper and wrote the name for Zhao Hanxuan to see.

Although Zhuang Rui also want to call a “Rong Bao Zhai” or something, but people that is a hundred years old store, trademark registered, the second best, simply in their own and Qin Xuan Bing’s name in the name of each a word, a combination of the name of the store.

“Cheng, tomorrow the fourth day of the month, almost all should work, I’ll run these formalities tomorrow ……”

Zhao Hanxuan nodded, agreed, Zhuang Rui gave him the conditions have been very generous, re-change the name of the store, is not something unacceptable.
