Chapter 309 Recruiting Female Secretaries

............ "Requirements?" Liu Dong thought for a while, and then said: "I like antique collection, and there may be some development in this area in the future, so the secretary must have some understanding of this aspect, of course, for the company management and market economy must also be proficient, preferably a woman under the age of thirty!"

If you find an aunt in her thirties or forties, Liu Dong doesn't have to think about it and knows that the two can't talk together. The generation gap is not so easy to overcome.

After writing down Liu Dong's requirements, Wu Menglan frowned, there are a lot of talents who understand company management and market economy, and there are also those under the age of thirty, but there are not many young women who can be under the age of thirty, but they understand antique collection and art. Combining these two aspects, there are even fewer suitable candidates.

"Chairman, according to your requirements, if you want to find a suitable candidate, I'm afraid you will have to wait for a while!" Wu Menglan said.

Of course, this is also because the current Dongchao Culture Group is not very well-known. If the Eastern Dynasty can compete with international jewelry giants such as Cartier and Tiffany & Co. in the future, then no matter how demanding Liu Dong's requirements are, he can find a lot of suitable candidates around the world.

"It's okay to wait, the key is to rather lack than excess!"

"yes, I see!"

……

After eating at noon, there was nothing to do in the company, seeing that everyone else was busy, and it was not interesting for him to be idle, so at three o'clock in the afternoon, he said to Wang Qiang and drove away from the company.

remembered that since he took over the Agarwood Pavilion from Li Lao, he hadn't been there. Immediately turn the head of the car. Head towards the antique street.

Weather in July and August. It was the hottest time of the year in Quancheng, so there were very few pedestrians and vehicles on the street at noon, so it took less than half an hour to get from the company to the Agarwood Pavilion.

"Boss, you're here!" Seeing Liu Dong come in, an old man in a white shirt and about fifty or sixty years old greeted him from behind the counter.

"Uncle Zhong, you don't stop on a hot day, and there aren't many people in the store!" Liu Dong said with respect in his tone.

This old man named Uncle Zhong. Li Lao has been a shopkeeper in the Agarwood Pavilion for more than ten years, although the level of identification is not as good as Li Lao, but he is also an old man in the industry, more than ten years of staying in the Agarwood Pavilion diligently, almost never made a mistake in the accounts, the new appointment of other employees in the store, Li Lao is also quite a believer, usually when Li Lao is not there, Uncle Zhong is responsible for watching the store. This time, when Li Lao returned to the capital, he left Uncle Zhong to him.

"Huh. It's been like this for decades, no need to rest!" the old man laughed.

"That's right. Some time ago, you weren't there, someone came to sell things, the price was relatively expensive, I didn't dare to call the shots, but I left his phone number!" said Uncle Zhong from the drawer in the counter, took a white business card and handed it over.

When I took it, the owner of the business card was called Wang Zhang, the owner of a construction company.

"What is this person holding? How much is he going to want?" Liu Dong asked immediately after looking at the business card.

"It's a statue of Shadow Qing Guanyin, he said it was from the Yuan Dynasty, and the price was 600,000! The price was too high, so I didn't dare to call the shots!"

After listening to Uncle Zhong's words, Liu Dong nodded, in the past, when Li Lao was here, more than 200,000 things, whether to collect or not need Li Lao to decide, now although the store is transferred to Liu Dong, he has no intention of changing this rule.

"Then how do you look at the Guanyin statue?

"The Guanyin statue is very complete, the fetal quality is crystal clear, the transparency is very good, the porcelain and glaze are consistent with the characteristics of the shadow blue, but it is a little new!" Speaking of this, Uncle Zhong's face was a little hesitant. Obviously, the last point always made him hesitate.

Of course, the phrase 'official kiln ware is as new' is very well-known in the industry, but the people who can really conclude that the porcelain that looks like a new porcelain is genuine ancient porcelain is no more than one palm among all the porcelain appraisers in China.

After listening to Uncle Zhong's judgment, Liu Dong took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket and dialed it according to the number in the business card. The phone was quickly connected, and a voice rang with a deep voice, like that of a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties.

"Hey, who are you looking for?"

"This is Agarwood Pavilion, are you Mr. Wang Zhang?"

"I am, who are you? do we know each other?" I don't know if this Mr. Wang is in a bad mood, but there is a lot of momentum in the tone of his voice.

"Oh, hello, this is the Agarwood Pavilion of Quancheng Antique Street, we are very interested in the 'Yuan Dynasty Yingqing Guanyin Statue' that you brought over last time, I don't know if you have time this afternoon, come to our store, if the thing is real, we will buy it at a price that both parties can satisfy." ”

"What? You said you want my Guanyin statue?"

Listening to the sound of surprise on the phone, Liu Dong frowned, this person's voice was quite loud, "Mr. Wang, has the thing been sold?"

"No, no, the things are still in your hands! Where are you? I'll go over now!" Wang Zhang said excitedly.

"We're ......!" Liu Dong said the address of the Agarwood Pavilion in the antique street.

"Okay, I see! I'll bring something over, half an hour at most, no, I'll be there in twenty minutes!" As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up the phone with a 'snap' from the other side.

"This one is really urgent!" After saying something to himself, Liu Dong put the phone back in his pocket.

"By the way, Uncle Zhong, this time I went to the capital, I collected a lot of antiques by chance, and now I have brought them back, just in my car, I will bring them to you, and when the time comes, you can estimate a price, and sell them together!" Liu Dong said instead, remembering the antiques he had collected from the Zhao family's compound and the underground auction.

"That's great, just during this time, there are more and more people playing and collecting, and we are also out of stock here, if there are a few good things to press, we are sure to make money!" Uncle Zhong said happily.

Antique shops want to make money, antiques, and modern crafts are not available, the former can not only gain fame, but also make money, and the accumulated fame can also make the store's modern crafts more popular.

The current Agarwood Pavilion, under the operation of Li Lao for nearly 20 years, can be said to be the most well-known antique shop in Quancheng, and the connections accumulated over the years make the Agarwood Pavilion able to make a net profit of millions per month by selling modern handicrafts. If you add antiques, the average monthly can reach nearly 1.5 million, which is the first in the entire Quancheng antique street.

Now, Li Lao is gone, and Liu Dong has inherited the industry of Agarwood Pavilion, so he naturally wants to carry it forward. However, the expansion of the antique shop is not like Rose Jewelry and Taiyi Pavilion, if there is no master with excellent appraisal skills, then opening a branch of Agarwood Pavilion can only lose money. Therefore, Liu Dong has always been quite cautious about this, and would rather slow down his pace than destroy the brand of Agarwood Pavilion.

"There are about hundreds of antiques that can be sold from the capital this time, and one Agarwood Pavilion alone can't eat so many things, it seems that we can consider opening a branch of Agarwood Pavilion to test the water!" Liu Dong thought to himself.

"Well, I've made trouble for myself again!" Liu Dong laughed at himself in his heart, and walked towards the Land Rover that was parked at the gate of Li Laoxiao's courtyard.

Of course, going is just pretending, and the things bought from the capital are all packed in his mustard seed space.

opened the trunk of the Land Rover, and then took out two Qianlong Dynasty porcelain porcelain products from the mustard seed space, three famous painters in the Republic of China calligraphy and painting, and then thought about it, and took out the Huanghuali character pen holder bought from the Zhao family courtyard. Then Liu Dong took these seven antiques, closed the car door, and walked back to the hall of Agarwood Pavilion.

"Uncle Zhong, here you go!" said Liu Dong and put seven things on the counter.

"Oh, boss, slow down, don't break things!" Seeing Liu Dong squeaking with two pieces of porcelain in his nest, and then holding a few pieces in each hand, he was not afraid of breaking it, when the old man saw it, he hurriedly came up and took the antique in Liu Dong's hand.

"Good things, good things!" Looking at the seven antiques placed on the counter, Uncle Zhong couldn't help but praise after a large number of them.

Although these seven pieces, each of which is worth no more than 100,000 yuan, it is not a treasure antique, but the sales of these things are the widest, the price is not too high, and it is indeed an antique, which is deeply loved by those who want to be vassally elegant after making a fortune, but do not want to spend too much money.

"With these seven pieces, plus the things you usually collect, you can last at least two months!" Uncle Zhong couldn't help but be satisfied after looking left and right.

Hearing this, Liu Dong smiled, "Uncle Zhong, I still have a few pieces at home, and I will bring them to you tomorrow." ”

After listening to Liu Dong's words, Uncle Zhong was naturally happy, and then instructed the guy next to him to help lock the seven antiques in the safe in the store.

Next, Liu Dong chatted with Uncle Zhong about some things in the store, and after a black Volkswagen sedan stopped outside the door of the Agarwood Pavilion, and then saw a middle-aged man of medium stature with a hint of sadness on his face, holding a black package in his hand, and after looking up at the plaque outside the door, he strode in.

Seeing this person, and after Uncle Zhong's introduction, Liu Dong naturally understood that the person he was waiting for had arrived.

"Hello, Mr. Wang, right?"

"I'm Wang Zhang, who are you?" Liu Dong's young appearance made the middle-aged man's face show a trace of hesitation, and it was obvious that he didn't see Liu Dong as a rich man who could buy the porcelain in his bag.

"Mr. Wang, this is the owner of our Agarwood Pavilion, if your Shadow Qing Guanyin is like him, then today's deal will be considered a success!" Uncle Zhong said with a smile. (To be continued......)
