Zhang Nuo definitely didn't just want a salary increase, he was mostly joking.
But it was a reminder to He Ren that he really had to recruit a few more people. The usual live broadcast in the store could be left to others. Zhang Nuo and Liu Fei could just follow He Ren on business trips.
It was Zhang Nuo who still had to recruit people. He Ren didn't know anyone in the circle. As for whether Zhang Nuo knew them... didn't her cousin know them?
As soon as the live broadcast started, Zhang Nuo sent out a live broadcast announcement. Many friends were surprised, "Why did the anchor start the broadcast in the morning? Are you going to pick up the leaks?"
He Ren sat down in front of the table and brewed a pot of tea with a smile, "If you don't mind me, this is a restaurant, so I can just start the broadcast and chat with everyone."
At this time, Zhang Nuo said, "Many people have sent video connection invitations."
He Ren explained, "Don't post it, everyone. We don't do treasure appraisals in the morning. From now on, we will change it to 4 o'clock in the afternoon for three hours each time."
When He Ren said this, the treasure friends were not happy, "What's the point of chatting? We might as well watch the beautiful women and pass by."
"I can also wipe the edge!"
He Ren is not happy either. Why can only beautiful anchors be sidelined? What's wrong with handsome anchors?
Treasure friends became interested and asked He Ren to step aside.
"Then I'm coming!"
He Ren immediately stood up, stretched his arms a few times, then picked up a tea towel on one side, and carefully wiped the corners of the table under the expectant eyes of his treasure friends.
My treasure friends were all dumbfounded...
Just when everyone was shouting that they had been fooled, an old man stood at the door and hesitated for a long time before walking in.
Hu Li immediately came forward and said, "Uncle, what do you need?"
"I..." The uncle was obviously shocked by the beautiful Hu Li. He opened his mouth for a long time before he squeezed out a few words, "Are you collecting your things?"
As soon as these words came out, He Ren and Baoyou all became energetic. This is what Zhou Wei asked yesterday. Unexpectedly, another one came so soon. Could it be that he was here to cause trouble like Zhou Wei?
The uncle is really here because of Zhou Wei, but he is not here to cause trouble, "I live nearby. I saw you open for business yesterday. The business was quite big. I have a few things at home that I want to show you. If you Don’t accept anything…”
"Take it, definitely take it."
He Ren is happy, isn’t this the effect of the show?
"Uncle, come sit down and have a cup of tea first."
The uncle was still a little cautious. He sat down, but his muscles were tense. He was holding a cloth bag tightly in his arms, and something must be inside.
He Ren poured a cup of tea for the uncle, somewhat dumbfounded, "Uncle, you have to take the things out before I can decide whether to accept them or not."
"Oh...right, right."
The uncle then came to his senses, carefully put his pocket on the table, and took out two...candlesticks, still made of porcelain.
"This is an ancestral tradition. It has been around since my grandfather's generation."
The uncle's tone was a bit weak, and he was obviously a little unsure.
Seeing that the things the uncle brought out were interesting, Zhang Nuo also came over. When he saw the porcelain candlestick, his eyes widened.
"This look is quite unique..."
Liu Fei also adjusted the angle of his mobile phone. Friends were happy when they saw it. Porcelain candlesticks are quite common, such as the blue and white branch candlesticks that were popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. They had flowers and lotus patterns, and the prices were not too high. Low, official kilns can buy them for several million, and some can even reach eight figures.
During the Qianlong period, many filigree enamel candlesticks appeared again, and the colors began to increase, including various yellows, greens, pinks...
It is Qianlong’s aesthetic.
But the candlestick that the uncle brought was different. There were two people carved directly on it, a man and a woman, or two foreigners...
The characters are quite delicately carved, and their movements, expressions, and costumes look lifelike. The drawings and colors are gorgeous, including pink, green, blue, light yellow, and white.
The two characters are holding flowers in their hands, and the candles are placed above their heads. They look like they are growing out of their heads...
The treasure friends couldn't hold it any longer, "This theme is worth three thousand!"
"It's passed down from our ancestors? I'm afraid the anchor is being treated as a big grievance."
"Is this a modern handicraft? Are you here to cause trouble?"
He Ren smiled and waved his hand, "Don't make random guesses. Although the things look abstract, they are of high value, and they are indeed old items."
"Clam?"
Not only Baoyou, but also the uncle was stunned for a moment. He actually didn’t have much confidence because this thing looked quite abstract.
Many treasure friends also have the same idea, and they are crazy about abstraction in the live broadcast room.
He Ren waved his hand, "Abstract? Abstract is right, because this is not porcelain made in China?"
The uncle blurted out, "Is there porcelain also available abroad?"
"Yes, and it existed during the Kangxi period." He Ren was delighted, "Your pair of candlesticks are Meissen porcelain. It was founded in Germany in 1710 and is the number one porcelain in Europe."
Treasure friends all expressed disbelief, and He Ren explained, "It's true. Chinese porcelain has always been very popular abroad, especially in ancient times. Starting from about the 13th century, European nobles were proud to collect a piece of Chinese porcelain. Who would Once I get one, I can’t wait to have a party and let everyone know that it’s much more awesome than the luxury goods we have now.”
Zhang Nuo was also stunned when he heard this, "Is it true or false?"
"Why did I lie to you? It must be true. The Principality of Saxony... is an ancient country in Central Europe. It is now in Germany. Hamburg and Bremen are under its rule. The electors of the Principality of Saxony are the princes who are eligible to run for the Roman Emperor. , named August. This man loved Chinese porcelain. He once used 600 fully armed guards to exchange 48 pieces of porcelain with Persian merchants."
"August still thought it was too little, so he arrested a famous alchemist and asked him to bake porcelain for him. Unexpectedly, this guy actually fired it, so the Mason Porcelain Company was born."
Everyone was dumbfounded by He Ren's words. Isn't this August too unreliable?
Many treasure friends are very envious and say that if they could travel back in time, they would definitely go into business...
He Ren was delighted, "Running a business? Do you know how dangerous it was hundreds of years ago to run a business? Do you want to cross the desert or cross the ocean in a wooden boat?"
While He Ren was chatting with his treasure friends, the uncle suddenly stood up excitedly, "1710...Boss, do you mean these candlesticks are from the Kangxi period?"
He Ren smiled bitterly and asked the uncle to sit down first. It was not safe to be too excited. "It's not from the Kangxi period. Judging from the paste and craftsmanship, it should be from the Daoguang or Xianfeng years."
The uncle forced himself to calm down, his voice trembling a little, "Boss, is it worth it?"
"For a pair, the market price is about four hundred thousand..."
Just as He Ren finished saying this, the electronic sound of the system rang again, startling him...
