Chapter 0565 – Man
Uncle De and others saw Zhuang Rui stopped and looked up at the door plaque, also stopped their feet, looked upwards, but this black and heavy signboard in the eyes of each person, the heart is a completely different idea.
To Daxiong and monkey’s eyesight, at best, is to recognize the three is what the word, as for calligraphy good or bad, Daxiong can also distinguish some, the monkey is completely blind, look at half a day did not see what doorway to the feeling and the front of a few signboards is not much different.
As for Qin Xuan Bing see this signboard, the heart is sweet, although her name of the grass to remove, but Xuan Rui Zhai this three words, clearly is to take their own and Zhuang Rui name in each a word, its meaning is naturally self-evident.
Women are always especially easy to move, Zhuang Rui’s this thought is not spent in vain, at least Qin Xuan Bing is now in the heart is sweeter than drinking honey water, has been thinking about is not yesterday did not agree to Zhuang Rui’s a few shameful action, to the night time attempted Zhuang Rui’s wish.
“Xiao Rui, how can you invite this person to give you the name of the store ah? I heard that the old man’s health is not very good, now rarely give people writing ah!”
As the saying goes, the outsider looks at the scene, the insider looks at the doorway, Uncle Te from this signboard font size, as well as the order of arrangement, I can see that this is not docked out from somewhere else, is indeed that master of calligraphy specially inscribed.
Now some businesses in order to attract customers’ eyes, often will use some celebrities have written the word, will be printed out after docking into their own signboard or sentence, but those fonts on the degree of standardization, far less than the special inscription of the regular, in the eyes of connoisseurs, a glance can distinguish out.
“Some time ago, I went with Mr. Jin to pay New Year’s call to the master, and it just so happened that Mr.’s spirit was very good, so I begged for two inscriptions.”
Zhuang Rui replied with a smile, look directly also quite proud, due to physical reasons, the old man in recent years rarely put pen to paper, their own these two words is definitely considered an exception, Panjiayuan with the master’s title as a signboard store quite a lot, but the master after 90 years of age written signboards, their own this is certainly a unique one.
“Oh, I remembered, the word on the day of your engagement is also the master’s handwriting, a good fat man Jin, the teacher’s body is well, but also do not give me a word, so that I am afraid of disturbing the master, have not dared to visit the door.”
As soon as Uncle De heard Zhuang Rui’s words, he cursed Fatty Jin with indignation, he and the master are old friends, when Fatty Jin was still wearing crotchless pants, Uncle De knew the master, this time he went into Beijing to visit friends and relatives, but he was afraid that Mr.’s health was not good, and didn’t dare to come to the door to disturb him.
“Boss, you are here, why are you standing at the door ah! Quickly please come in.”
Zhuang Rui this group of people standing in the doorway, but the store door are blocked, inside the Zhao Hanxuan see Zhuang Rui, hastily greeted, after more than half a month of adjustment, he basically psychological transformation over, temporarily has adapted from the boss into the identity of the wage earner.
“Old Zhao, you’re very efficient in your work!”
Zhuang Rui smiled and greeted Zhao Hanxuan, leading the crowd into the store, and what they were greeted with was a row of seven to eight meter long glass counters, which were very exquisitely crafted.
Inside the counter, every few centimeters distance, there is a small spotlight, which is a common means of jewelry merchants, in this kind of strong light lamp irradiation, even if the quality of the general jewelry, but also can flash dazzling luster to.
The pattern of the entire store has also changed, the most conspicuous place left to the jewelry counter, stationery is placed on both sides, a few ancient ink slabs are placed in the jewelry cabinet, these objects have been considered curiosities.
Zhao Hanxuan here often do repeat business, but do not need to use the signboard or facade to attract customers, look at those who are shopping for stationery, it seems that business is not bad.
To be able to get these things done in just ten days, it was obvious that Zhao Hanxuan had put some thought into it.
“Boss, how is it, still satisfied? By the way, what’s hanging there is the copy of the new store’s business license, I’ve changed it all over, the original will be brought to you later.”
The reason why Zhao Hanxuan didn’t call Zhuang Rui was that he wanted Zhuang Rui to come over and see the changes here and then have an intuitive understanding of his own ability, no matter if he would go out and start another business later, but now he was working for Zhuang Rui, naturally he had to be able to afford the several tens of thousands of dollars in salary that he took every month.
Zhuang Rui nodded, walked behind the counter of the store, looked at the business license hanging on the wall, the legal person above has been changed to his own name, which also means that in the future, if anything happens to Xuan Rui Zhai, it will be Zhuang Rui who will take the responsibility.
“Not bad, Lao Zhao, I’ll introduce you, this is my teacher, Uncle De of Zhonghai, this is my daughter-in-law.”
Zhuang Rui’s words said Qin Xuan Bing’s face was red, in Hong Kong it was all about introducing Mrs. or Mrs., but this daughter-in-law, in the ears was more intimate and full of life.
Wait until Uncle De and Qin Xuan Bing have greeted Zhao Hanxuan, Zhuang Rui pointed to Daxiong said: “His name is Daxiong, is my friend, after that will follow you to learn the knowledge of the literary house utensils, you if you look past, when the disciple also, when the apprentice also line, as long as he can understand a little bit of this line of work on the matter.”
Antique line is simple and simple, but to say complex, is also extremely complex, no one can watch the pattern of books, can become an expert in the identification of certain objects, to be proficient in a door, or to have a teacher’s guidance.
But a lot of modern antique appraisal experts, are like the old craftsman general broom, refused to pass the experience to the newcomer, taught the apprentice starved to death master of things, is not without incident, Zhuang Rui to Zhao Hanxuan said this meaning, but also implicitly let Zhao Hanxuan pass a little something real to the big Xiong.
“Success, this is what we’ve agreed upon, old Zhao I definitely won’t hide anything.”
Zhao Hanxuan sized up Daxiong after, quickly agreed, this is also Daxiong looks more simple and thick, let a person’s first impression is better, if Zhao Hanxuan knew that Daxiong before specializing in the antique market singing double, I’m afraid to agree to the not so sharp, because he himself is these “set of masters” to the pit of the light.
“Mr. Zhao, I can go to work today, you look at the arrangement, do whatever.”
Daxiong is also very colorful, went up to Zhao Hanxuan made a long bow, first a worship ceremony, which makes Zhao Hanxuan is very satisfied, said: “First from the guys to do it! Do our line, the main thing is to observe the words, the guests into the store whether there is a desire to consume, three or two words to set out, and then according to the needs of the guests to introduce the goods. Daxiong, these things you slowly learn, first familiarize yourself with the four treasures of the literary house, and then I will give you a quotation to understand the market situation on the line, it is not very complicated, you first go to change your clothes, follow Xiao Wang, see how he talks to the guests.”
Zhao Hanxuan while talking, while greeting one of his former fellows over, let that fellow called Xiao Wang, take Zhao Hanxuan to the back to change clothes to go, these fellows wear robes and coats, this is also the characteristics of the Panjiayuan, basically the family store is so dressed.
Don’t say, Daxiong this change of clothes, really a little so, and before wearing a cotton jacket in the Pengcheng antique market stalls that person, completely like two people, especially that smile, than before when singing a double reed but also naive, definitely belongs to the class of people who are kind and black heart.
In fact, to say that the work of watching people, I’m afraid that Daxiong is definitely not worse than the current two shopkeepers, how to say that he and the monkey is also in the antique market for a number of years, planted in the hands of their double-crossing, there are not a few people, and there is no lack of experience, which is the main reason why Zhuang Rui let these two brothers come to help.
“Brother Zhuang, Mr. Zhao, I’ll follow Brother Wang to work first!”
Daxiong gave Zhuang Rui and Zhao Hanxuan a greeting, then followed behind Xiao Wang to entertain the guests, today the store is quite busy, the two clerks are a bit busy, Zhao Hanxuan just now himself is greeting the guests.
“Old Zhao, his name is monkey, later responsible for jewelry antiques in this area of business, I have nothing to come over will teach him, but in the store, Daxiong and monkey are under your control, antiques this side of no one, but also let him help to sell some of the literary objects, for the doorway in the line, you have nothing to give these two people more account some.”
After the big Xiong left, Zhuang Rui introduced the monkey to Zhao Hanxuan, the monkey character is not as stable as Xiong, but the mouth is very sweet, the price of these antiques and jewelry booked by himself, let him in accordance with their own pricing to sell on the line, and do not need to be able to monkey to identify the authenticity of these antiques ability.
“OK, you also go to change clothes! Follow those two to learn first.” Zhao Hanxuan nodded and agreed.
Monkey went in and changed into a robe and came out, although he didn’t look as stable as Daxiong, but the whole person was revealing a stream of resourcefulness, which was a bit of the flavor of the pre-liberation antique store fellows.
This is not, see someone into the store, the monkey immediately bowed forward to greet, three or two words will lead people to the inkstone piece to go.
“Boss, these two people you found, they’re both good!”
Zhao Hanxuan also saw out, on the subject of discernment, I’m afraid that their original two fellows, are not as good as Daxiong and monkey.
“Oh, they used to practice in the antique market stalls for a few years, these are no strangers, but the professional knowledge is quite a bit worse, old Zhao you later more to bring up.”
Zhuang Rui also did not want to hide Zhao Hanxuan, will be the duo’s origin slightly said, these things are obvious, they do not say others can also see.
“Uncle De, you first sit down, I brought some objects, first to set up.”
After arranging the two people, Zhuang Rui invited Uncle De to sit down in the store where he entertained the guests for tea, and he himself took out the more than thirty antique jewels that he had brought with him.
