Tibetan play style

Chapter 130 'Big Money'

"Yes, yes, you are right, 'Young men don't work hard, the boss is sad'."

Xu Yunhan, who was serving tea and water carefully, echoed with a smile. She has basically figured out her Uncle Xu's character now, and has always adopted a percussive education for her. Although she occasionally praises her, but more It's time for coaching.

Even so, she can still feel that Uncle Xu is very happy when others praise her, and of course he will be as humble as a typical Chinese elder in the end.
"By the way, Lao Xu, while you're not busy at the moment, you can always show us the two good things in your store that you mentioned earlier. Maybe I can help you later. Here comes the buyer."

Cui Dayong, who just looked through the display cabinets in the store, was not satisfied. He ran an antique store and was also a veteran Tibetan friend. Otherwise, how could he come so early today who only came to the store in the afternoon.In order to congratulate its opening, I also want to see the two new antiques that Xu Da revealed earlier in the store.

"What can't be done, Xiaohan, help me take down the black-glazed plum vase and white-glazed children's porcelain pillow from the Song Dynasty."

Xu Yunhan responded and went up to the Treasure Pavilion on the second floor. Like many antique shops, the items on display were not too precious and rare, and the real good things were kept in a safe place.

After reading the six antiques bought from Luo Feng, Uncle Xu put the black-glazed plum bottle carved with poems and proses from the Song Dynasty and the white-glazed child porcelain pillow in the safe upstairs. The four pieces and the grasshopper gourd she found were directly placed in the showcase on the first floor.Although these pieces are authentic, they are not considered rare and valuable. Therefore, experienced and experienced collectors like Cui Dayong lack of interest after seeing the things on the first floor.

After taking down the two antiques, the whole morning of the first day of opening was spent chatting with Xu Da, Cui Dayong, and Dong Qiu, while Xu Yunhan sat and listened.

There wasn't even a single customer in the morning, but Xu Yunhan and Xu Da were not in a hurry. The antique shop was not open for three years, and it was open for three years.In view of the particularity of this product, be patient and wait for buyers who really like it.Antique investment is a long-term investment. Only by holding it for a long time can you get rich returns. It is very similar to the "long-term stock speculation" in the stock market, buying when it is low and selling when it is high.

Just like when Xu Yunhan spent only 7 yuan from the ghost market at the beginning, she was able to sell it to Jing Shuo for 100 million yuan, just because she realized that Jing Shuo was determined to win the jade pot, and now it was the seller's market.

After noon, the traffic in the antique market increased significantly compared to the morning, and both Dong Qiu and Cui Dayong went back to their respective shops to do business.

At this time, Xu's Antique Shop also ushered in the first customer. This is a bald and fat man with a short stature, in his thirties, with a white jade around his neck, a turquoise bracelet in his left glove, and a bulging underarm The purse looks a bit like a "grandfather".

"Hello, please feel free to look around, if you need help, you can tell me."

When the bald head came in, Uncle Xu had just gone upstairs with the two antiques in his arms. Xu Yunhan hesitated for a while, so he had to bite the bullet and greet him, secretly praying that Uncle Xu would come down quickly. Her current professional level is easy to make trouble. What a joke!

"Ah, okay okay."

The bald-headed customer saw that it was a beautiful young woman who came to greet the guests, his eyes flickered, then he nodded while scanning the surroundings of the store, walked to the position near the wall and sat on the chair of the master.

After resting for a while, he looked back at the pattern on the back of the chair, stroked the armrests on both sides, and exclaimed: "Hey, this pair of antique chairs is quite good. But this chair must be a modern imitation, but yes, if it is real How can the hundreds of years old antique chairs be placed here for people to sit casually.

My villa hasn't been finished yet, and it won't be finished until next month, then I'll buy a pair of real antique grand master's chairs and put them in the hall, hey, don't be too grandiose!"

It seems to be talking to herself, but the volume is not deliberately lowered. It is obvious to Xu Yunhan's ears that she is showing off her wealth. She has been out of the poverty line for the past few months, and she still has a heart, so she doesn't like to see this kind of show off. Rich people, take a look at this bald man in front of him, and he is not tall, rich and handsome, let alone tolerate it!

Secretly rolled his eyes a few times, and was slandering when he stood up and took two steps, turned around and lay down on the exhibition platform for a closer look.

The prices in that treasure booth are all exquisite modern antique handicrafts, classical and elegant female accessories, all kinds of seals, crystal clear pearl necklaces the size of rice grains, jade bead bracelets, antique rouge boxes... …

Of course, they will clearly tell the customers that these are not antiques, and reputation is very important to open a shop, and Xu Yunhan and Xu Da are unwilling to do things that cheat people of money.But you don't think these things are cheap. Depending on the quality of the material and the level of craftsmanship, such as jewelry inlaid with gemstones and agate, and jade bracelets with bean seeds and floating flowers are also of great value.

Don't underestimate this small exhibition platform, the things on it add up to hundreds of thousands, which is absolutely worth buying.The things displayed here were all obtained by Xu Da through an old friend of his. They were all handmade by experienced and highly skilled old craftsmen, and the materials used were not ordinary street stalls.

From the expression of the bald man, it can be seen that he is very knowledgeable, and he is very interested in everything on the exhibition platform, but his fiery eyes finally fell on an XJ Hetian Ziyu pendant.

It was a Jigong Buddha statue pendant. Its expression, shape, monk clothes and hat were carved vividly, just like the Living Buddha Jigong played by You Benchang.What's more vivid is that during the playing, the cattail fan in Jigong's hand seemed to be flapping faintly, as if there was a gust of cool wind blowing.

The bald man couldn't put it down holding it, and he exchanged his hands to play with it, sending it between his nose and mouth to smell it from time to time.Played and looked for a long time, but there is no indication of whether to buy or not.Strangely, he seemed a little restless, and from time to time his eyes swept over Xu Yunhan's body like radar.

This 'big money' who flaunts his wealth seems to be vacillating between buying and not buying. Xu Yunhan has been waiting for him, asking a few times what he thinks, with a bald head frowning as if he is still thinking about it, and then he will have a look .

After a while, a few more customers entered the store. Xu Yunhan, who was already impatient with the bald head looking her up and down from time to time, turned around to greet the newcomers. At first, he would pay attention to the bald man from the corner of his eye, but Later, after talking to the new customer for a while, he was forgotten.

"Xiaohan~" Suddenly heard Uncle Xu shout, Xu Yunhan, who was talking to those guests, raised his head in a daze, and saw Uncle Xu rushing two steps forward to the door of the store at the speed of the wind, and shouted,
"Stop!" Before he finished speaking, Xu Da grabbed the bald man who was walking out just now.

Xu Yunhan suddenly woke up!Dude, this bald man took something from the store and just slipped away without paying!Fortunately, Uncle Xu came downstairs in time, otherwise he would lose his things on the first day of opening!

Xu Yunhan was ashamed, anxious and angry, he really has everyone now!Thinking about it now, the man's showing off his wealth just now was to relax her vigilance!

After Xu Da stepped forward and grabbed the bald head, he grabbed the hand he was about to put in his pocket, and unceremoniously took back the white jade pendant in his hand.

The bald head blushed immediately, lowered his head and murmured: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" After speaking, he violently shook off Xu Da's hand that was holding him. He didn't dare to look back, and ran away from the door as if fleeing.

Xu Da put the pendant back on the Zhanbaotai. At this time, several customers in the store who had seen the whole scene just now heaved a sigh of relief, and made irresponsible remarks and discussions.

After all the customers in the store had left, Xu Da warned seriously: "Xiaohan, after going through this time, you need to have a long memory, and you will learn a lot of wisdom. We need a lot of money to do antique business, and we also need to be eye-catching." Guan Liulu listens to all directions, and can't afford to be negligent. This business is no more than a vegetable market salesperson. Selling vegetables and radishes can take care of many aspects. Do you think this is the reason?"

Xu Yunhan lowered her head in shame, and nodded in agreement.

The hardships of doing business can only be known by personal experience. Xu Yunhan, who thought opening an antique shop would be easy, bought and sold, and made money in his hands, almost stumbled on the first day.

"Xiaohan, I've always had an idea." Xu Da sat on the chair and said.

"Uncle Xu, tell me."

Xu Da looked at her and said seriously, "Do you have any plans for your future?"

"Ah? What plan? At present, it should be to open a store to make money, and to learn about antiques from you. I haven't thought much about other things." Xu Yunhan replied with a blank face. Why did Uncle Xu ask her so suddenly? !

As if seeing what she was thinking, Xu Da said,

"I didn't ask you this out of nowhere. I've thought about it for a long time. I remember hearing you mention that your original university was not good, and your major was Chinese language, right? If the industry develops, I suggest you take the postgraduate entrance examination and take the archaeology major of Beijing University. Then your future development platform will be higher and bigger, and it will definitely be more promising than staying with me in such an antique shop. Now this society comes from a wild way If you want to compare with those who come from orthodox majors, it’s still a level behind.”

"Postgraduate entrance examination? Major in archaeology at Peking University?" Xu Yunhan was shocked, and shook his head after recovering, "I definitely won't pass the entrance examination. Such a good university, my grades were not good since I was a child...How can I be admitted to Beijing University!"

"If you don't work hard, how do you know you won't pass the exam! If you work hard and prepare for the exam a year later, you'll be fine!" Xu Da said while glaring at her, his tone was like iron not steel.

Xu Yunhan had no choice but to say, "Let me think about it. I never thought that I would go back to school to study again. When you mention it suddenly, I...I'll think about it again."

"My old friend knows a professor of archeology at Peking University. I'll ask him to contact me later. Ask about exam review materials, what books to read, etc." Xu Da didn't seem to hear her saying that she had to think again. , said selfishly.
