"Um!"
Chen Cheng nodded and roughly understood what I wanted to do.
"Okay, let's go have a nice meal today."
I said and smiled, because not far from this hillside is the villa where Liu Qingzhong took me to eat before.
Early the next morning, Lu Yunchuan walked in angrily as planned.
"Brother Shen, I have no objection to you following Tao Ronghua."
"But how can you cheat other customers?"
This is what Lu Yunchuan thought of last night.
Because I have lowered the price, the sales volume in the store is very attractive to mid-range families.
The "crime" he was thinking of was that I deliberately sold something worth a few hundred dollars into thousands or even tens of thousands.
“Isn’t what I’m selling genuine?”
I spoke slowly, "If you are not satisfied, you can leave."
"Brother Shen, I'm sorry,"
Lu Yunchuan threw away his hand and left. According to my plan, Lu Yunchuan would come to Li Bai first to explain my "rebellion" to the seventh uncle.
Then he would run to Zhou Jianguo.
As for what happens to him in the end, it all depends on his own destiny.
When Lu Yunchuan left, Xiao Chen came in with three people.
"Brother Shen, I've found some people. They're all interested in antiques."
Xiao Chen said and smiled, "Come, meet my boss, Brother Shen."
"Hello, Brother Shen!"
The three of them bowed their hands.
I think their appearance does look a bit like a street kid, but their conversation and behavior are more polite.
"Brother Shen, I've been calling you Xiao Chen Xiao Chen for so many days, but I haven't seen you ask me my real name..."
I didn't react until I heard Xiao Chen's words.
At that time, I asked Li Mingming that he had borrowed someone, and he thought he would return it after a while, so he didn't ask in detail.
After going back and forth, Xiao Chen got used to it and didn't ask too many questions.
"I almost forgot."
I laughed and said, "Please have a seat."
After some understanding, it was discovered that these three people were Bai Jiahao, Yu Wenbo and Zhuo Ding. They all worked in the "showbiz" for a living.
To be more specific, it is a professional group performance.
And this Xiao Chen, named Chen Zebin, was originally one of Li Mingming's more capable men.
"Costume dramas always have some story about antique appraisal, and the guys in charge have done that too."
Chen Zebin said, "There shouldn't be too many obstacles for them to start working as associates."
"Thank you, the store will rely on you from now on."
I nodded slightly, patted their shoulders, and Chen Zebin took the three of them to the warehouse to understand the status of the goods.
Sitting at the door of the hall, I took a deep breath. The initial layout was completed.
In the days that followed, I took Chen Cheng out with me as usual, and the store returned to normal.
About a month later, when Chen Cheng had almost forgotten about it, Liu Qingzhong came.
One afternoon, when closing time was approaching, Chen Zebin was leading his men to pack the shelves, and Chen Cheng and I were also checking the accounts.
Although the income after entering the mid-to-low-end market is not as good as that of the high-end market that "does not open for three years, and lasts for three years after opening", the little adds up to a lot, and there is still a lot of gain every day.
After stabilizing, I can earn around 300,000 yuan this month.
However, none of the rich bosses showed up in this month.
He must have been reminded by his seventh uncle.
Just when he was busy, Liu Qingzhong walked in alone.
"We're closed, come back tomorrow."
I lowered my head to check the account, thinking that some customers wanted to take a look at the goods before closing time.
"Then I'll come back tomorrow?"
When I heard this voice, I immediately raised my head, and Liu Qingzhong stood in front of me with a smile on his face.
"Secretary Liu is here. Why didn't you inform him?"
I put down the bill in my hand and smiled.
"These people in your hall..."
Liu Qingzhong glanced at Chen Zebin and asked, "How come it's almost done?"
"What can I do? The previous few naturally ran away as soon as they heard that I had followed you and wanted to join forces with Tao Ronghua."
I said with a bit of disgust, "You and Tao Ronghua's reputations need to be managed."
"Then why doesn't this little brother run away?"
Liu Qingzhong walked towards Chen Zebin and asked slowly.
"I just want to make a living. I can earn money and have food and clothing. That's enough."
"Following Brother Shen to eat well and drink hot food, why should I leave?"
Chen Zebin said as he glanced at the three people receiving the goods behind him.
"So are we!"
The three of them were talking with joy written all over their faces.
As expected, he comes from a "showbiz" background and his acting skills are quite superb.
I heard that Chen Zebin sometimes makes guest appearances, and his acting skills are quite good.
The only person whose acting skills are not good is Chen Cheng next to me.
She seemed to have forgotten what happened to Liu Qingzhong, and her face was a little angry.
After I quietly patted her back to remind her, she "acted" happy.
"Shen Fan, if you want manpower, just tell me."
"I have a lot of people, and I don't know where to send them."
Liu Qingzhong still had a smile on his face, trying to hide something.
"Secretary Liu, you should keep your people for yourself."
"I'm afraid that if I don't want to do something, your people will stab me in the back."
There was a hint of distrust on my face, and I said with a hint of ridicule, "You are so powerful, how can my little boss be your opponent?"
"Be cautious, yes, yes."
As he spoke, Liu Qingzhong walked towards a vase in the low-price area, "This vase is good, I like it. Pick it up for me and I'll pay you one million."
Facing the price of one thousand yuan on the brand, Chen Zebin and Chen Cheng were surprised when they heard this.
Why spend so much money on a bargain?
"Secretary Liu, the price can be negotiated."
I spoke slowly, already seeing what he meant, "The glass above is soundproof, so nothing we talk about will be heard."
His goal was not to buy a vase, but to "send money" to me.
When you spend money to do things, you naturally need to find a name.
"good."
Liu Qingzhong was very happy and walked with me to the second floor carrying a vase in one hand.
"Secretary Liu, what do you want me to do?"
I immediately spoke after closing the glass door on the second floor.
But Liu Qingzhong remained silent, put down the vase, and glanced at the surveillance camera.
"There is no recording in this surveillance. If you want, I will cut out this tape and delete it."
Hearing my words, Liu Qingzhong nodded slightly, "I am more cautious myself, so I like your caution."
"Is it also cautious to blow up ships?"
I scoffed.
"That was done by Tao Ronghua himself and has nothing to do with me."
"He wanted to do a big business, and I just acquiesced."
Liu Qingzhong explained, "You also know that I don't like to do bloody business in principle."
"So what does Secretary Liu want me to do this time?"
"Do you still remember the calligraphy of the four characters "Wind Swallowing Mountains and Rivers"?
He smiled slightly and said, "Tao Ronghua thinks he is not qualified and strongly recommends you to complete it."
Instantly, my expression changed, "Do you want me to steal something?"
Tao Ronghua actually threw the blame on me!
