Chapter 114: Jizo Bodhisattva, silver wire inlay
Wu Duo got up, "Elder Zhang, Uncle De is talking about your naming Daya Zhai at that time!"
Zhang Chengjin smiled and nodded Wu Duo, "You think it's awkward and brought it up, right?"
"Now I don't feel awkward, but I feel very happy. Wu Duo also smiled.
Zhang Lao walked up to Wu Duo and stood still, and stretched out his hand very formally, "Welcome Mr. Wu Duo to Daya Zhai!"
Wu Duo stretched out his hand and shook hands with Zhang Lao, "Thank you, Zhang Lao!"
Subsequently, Zhang Lao talked to Wu Duo about the "strategic" tasks, and Hu Yunde told Wu Duo about the "tactical" tasks.
Daya Zhai is not as structured as Qixiang Pawnshop, and Hu Yunde is the general manager with a finance and human resources department, and the rest is mainly sales and acquisition personnel and appraisers.
The sales and acquisition staff is divided into two parts, one part is the storefront, which welcomes customers who come to the store and also has some service work. Some of them are account managers, who do not sit on duty and rely on their connections to contact customers.
As for appraisers, the main job is naturally to identify antiques.
Daya Zhai currently has six appraisers. Monday is not open, which is the inventory summary day, and the other six days, six appraisers work in pairs, and each group is on duty for two days. Saturday and Sunday are the two highest level shifts.
Although it is a rotating shift, if you encounter a leave of absence, you need to make a temporary adjustment, and if you encounter a group of people who cannot be identified, you may also call to come to the "consultation".
As long as Hu Yunde is in the store, he will also take care of some work.
Wu Duo understood after listening, "Elder Zhang, Uncle De, there is no position of chief appraiser in the co-authorship?"
"Isn't it okay to set one for you alone?" said Hu Yunde.
"Isn't this setting me on the fire and roasting!" Wu Duo hurriedly said, "I'm young, and after I come, other appraisers may have questioned it, and if I add a chief, it will be even worse." β
Zhang Lao waved his hand, "This place is different from other places. In my absence, Yundeok says whatever it is, that's what it is. And in this business, what you fight for is eyesight, even if you are a doll and your eyesight is superior, they still have to obey!
Hu Yunde added, "And it's definitely not just a false name for you, but also a treat that must be improved." β
Wu Duo thought for a while, "Elder Zhang, Uncle De, otherwise, I'll work in the position of appraiser for a while, the chief, let's talk about it later?"
"You!" Zhang Chengjin smiled, "Okay." In this way, the store is not open every Monday, but there are meetings. How about you come to the company next Monday and get a rough idea of how about you?"
"Good. Wu Duo nodded.
"Our finance and human resources department is not in the store, we have an office on the top floor of the antique city, and I will take you to the formalities first. Hu Yunde then asked, "So, tell me, which two days do you want to go to work?"
"Can I come just when I'm fine?" Wu Duo did come in the spirit of learning.
"Absolutely. Could it be that you're afraid that you'll have to work more? But the shift has to be set for two days in advance. β
"Uncle De, whatever day you say, it's that day. β
"Then you can stagger it, how about Tuesday and Saturday? You can also visit the Chixia Mountain antique market opposite early on Saturday morning, and come by before nine o'clock after shopping. β
"Uncle De is still thoughtful. β
As soon as the three of them finished finishing their business, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in!"
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Hu, someone brought something, but the appraiser hasn't come today, and I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll not be able to eat it. "The one who came in was Huang Wei, the leader of the storefront group, a woman about forty years old, very capable.
"Oh, I know, he's taken a leave of absence in the morning, am I not there. Hu Yunde asked, "Raw faces?"
"Yes. β
"Okay, you go and say hello first, just look at the reception area of the store, and I'll go over." Hu Yunde nodded.
Zhang Lao got up, "Since I met it, then I'll follow it too, Xiao Wu also warmed up in advance, no opinion, right?"
"Of course not. Wu Duo also got up.
In antique shops, there are often people who come to "deliver", which is a feature, and there are many people who come to buy things and come to sell things.
The man who came was a man of five big and three thick, with a beard, and he looked like he was in his forties and less than fifty, but he was neatly dressed, and he sat on a sofa in a reception area circled in the corner of the shop, and on the round wooden table in front of him was a small black leather suitcase.
"You guys are so formal! Dispatch three people to look at things at once!" Seeing Wu Duo and the three of them coming, he couldn't help but stand up and said.
Hu Yunde stepped forward and said with a smile, "I've been waiting for a long time, my surname is Hu, I am the general manager of Daya Zhai, this old gentleman is the consultant of our store, and this little gentleman is the appraiser of our store." What's your last name?"
"Don't be surnamed Wang. Oh, that's a coincidence, the three of you are talking about things. "The beard is quite good at reading things.
"Yes, Mr. Wang, please sit down, let's take a look at things together. Hu Yunde greeted.
When the suitcase was opened, there was a large brocade box inside, and there was a foam bag stuffed around it, which looked very well protected.
Finally taken out of the brocade box and placed on the table, there is a bronze Buddha statue.
The volume is indeed not small, with a height of 40 centimeters.
This bronze Buddha statue is not ordinary bronze or brass, nor is it lacquered or gilded, but directly uses copper, which feels very pure, the copper is excellent, and the leather shell also has a mellow feeling.
There is an oval lotus pedestal under the Buddha statue, the Buddha statue wears a crown, the right hand is the chest knot seal, and the left hand meditates to hold the orb. The demeanor is compassionate and pleasant. Holding lotus branches with both hands, the lotus branches are wrapped around the shoulders and arms, and there is a lotus flower on the left and right, which respectively support the Buddha and the net bottle.
This bronze Buddha statue is cast, but the details are very in place, and the decoration is three-dimensional and clear, as if carving.
"Jizo Bodhisattva. Zhang Lao said softly while looking at it, "This is the style of the Han Buddha statues in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. β
Wu Duo didn't recognize what kind of Bodhisattva this was at all, and after listening to what Zhang Laoyi said, he knew.
"Advisors are advisors, great!" Beard gave a thumbs up.
Zhang Lao looked at him and said, "However, this kind of Buddha statue, if it is made by officials, is generally gilded. And during the Republican period, a large number of imitations appeared. β
The beard smiled, "This is definitely not an official one, but it may not be cheaper than an official one, and there is a money in the back!"
As he spoke, the beard lifted the Buddha statue and turned around, and rushed his back towards Zhang Lao.
The bronze Buddha statue is in the middle of the lower part of the lotus pedestal.
It's not an ordinary engraving.
Instead, it is inlaid with silver wire!
Zhang Lao couldn't help but lower his body and took a closer look. At the same time, Hu Yunde also tried to get as close as possible to take a look.
Wu Duo couldn't get up from the same direction, but he wasn't idleΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
"Ahh
Suddenly, Wu Duo screamed, startling everyone.
