Jin Buhuan could finally find time to sort out Long Qantang's business. He carefully combed through all transactions and accounts and compiled a clear ledger to better track and manage the company's financial status.
The antiques currently sold by Long Qian Tang mainly come from three sources.
First, when Wang Lingling purchased Long Qantang, she received some items left by her former boss, but the prices of these items were generally low.
The second is provided by Wang Lingling's "Chunfeng" pawn shop. Those antiques and cultural toys that no one has bought back after the expiration date will be sent to Longqantang for consignment. This was also an important factor in Wang Lingling's original decision to acquire Long Qantang.
The third is some antiques that are in urgent need of money and have to be sold at low prices. This part is the time when Jin Buhuang's vision is most tested. There are always some 'masters of counterfeiting' who think that their skills are unparalleled and try to get through.
Learning that Long Qantang had a new boss caused some people to get excited and try their best to get more benefits.
Jin Buhuan exposed the disguise of those scammers, and Xiang Di and Xiang Tian threw them out of the door. After that, everyone on the road knew that the new boss of Long Qantang had a unique vision, and no one dared to come to cheat again.
In the antique world of Jiangnan City, Jin Buhuan's name has gradually become more famous.
...
On weekends, many tourists flooded into the store, and Jin Buhuan also came to the store in person to help. These tourists don’t know much about the antique industry and just follow the queue to take a look. Most of them just watch and don’t buy. Despite this, Jin Buhuan still asked Qian Yaoming to provide tea and drinks to ensure the tourists' comfort experience.
After all, in the business of making antiques, we cannot pursue quantity like selling vegetables, and we cannot expect everyone who comes in to take away one piece.
At this time, an old gentleman slowly walked into the room. His beard was as long as snow and as white as frost. He is wearing a traditional Tang suit made of gorgeous Suzhou satin, and the exquisite buttons demonstrate Lao Fengxiang's excellent craftsmanship. The cutting and sewing of this dress were obviously made by an experienced tailor in the capital, and one can feel his unique temperament and extraordinary status at a glance.
Jin Buhuan approached the old gentleman with a smile and asked politely: "Old sir, which type of collection do you prefer? Antiques, antiques, or exquisite porcelain, gold, stone, and jade?"
"I'm just taking a look, you can go about your business, there's no need to greet me specifically."
The old man is about seventy years old. Although his voice is a little hoarse, it is full of energy and makes people feel that he has a strong body.
"Please feel free to do so. If you need any help, just ask."
Jin Buhuan accompanied the old gentleman around the store twice, remaining silent during the process.
"This store is not large in scale, and the quality of the goods is not top-notch, but one thing that is worthy of praise is that there are absolutely no fakes. There are not many stores like you in the antique industry that insist on buying and selling real goods. Really Very good! Very worthy of recognition!”
Jin Buhuan's eyes lit up. He noticed that the old man could distinguish the authenticity of the antiques on the shelf by just observing them twice. This keen eye is truly amazing.
"Reputation is the lifeline of our store, especially in the antique industry. A porcelain bottle may be worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. The reason why our Longqantang can win the trust of customers is based on the word "trust". Therefore, our store We absolutely don’t dare to commit any fraud.”
The old gentleman nodded and smiled: "You, a little apprentice, have such knowledge. It seems that your boss is really good at discipline. Please let your boss come out and see you."
"Old sir, I am one of the bosses of this Longqantang restaurant. I will never change my money. If you have any orders, just ask me and I will not change my money."
"You're the boss!"
The old gentleman looked at Jin Buhuan again and was a little surprised. He said: "You are so young, but you manage this store so well. It is really admirable. What an amazing achievement!"
Jin Buhuan responded humbly: "You are really over-praising me. My store is mediocre in the antique street and I really can't afford such praise."
"That's not an exaggeration to say."
The old man waved his hand and continued: "Recently, well-informed people in our industry are talking about the fact that the boss of Long Qantang has a unique vision and has broken the predictions of many experts. I heard that Zhang Daqian copied the works of his predecessors when he was young. It's really admirable that you can see through famous paintings at a glance. I came here specifically today to check whether it was just an exaggeration among colleagues. But after seeing the collection on display in your store, I now believe half of it. ”
"It turns out that I'm a senior fellow traveler. I haven't asked the old gentleman for his surname yet."
"Old man Gu... Gu..."
The old gentleman suddenly pressed his hands tightly against his chest, with large beads of sweat streaming down his face, and his body was swaying like a fallen leaf in the wind...
