Chapter 3: Smashing the Ring
Two days later, Mengzi came back from his hometown, ten days earlier than the holiday given to him by Tang Dou, saying that he was not worried about Tang Dou, which really moved Tang Dou.
Tang Dou introduced Yang Deng and Mengzi to each other, and Mengzi pulled Tang Dou to ask about the recruitment of the boss lady posted at the door, and Yang Deng's ears on the side were also ridged.
Tang Dou laughed: "That recruitment notice is just a gimmick, I guess the whole street now knows about our antique shop from the past and present, and those foreign tourists have also helped us become famous for free. The proprietress who can be recruited for money, I don't dare to ask for her if she dares to come. Now we don't need these crooked ways, let's go and expose them."
It turns out that you also know that it is crooked, Yang Deng glanced at Tang Dou, if she didn't want to find a part-time job related to her major, she really didn't have the courage to step into this store.
The three of them had a meal together, and Tang Dou decided to open the door, but the task he gave to Mengzi and Yang Deng was to deal with these modern handicrafts in the store in the shortest possible time, which scared the two of them, thinking that Tang Dou was ready to change careers.
Tang Dou couldn't explain it, so he had to push it on his deceased father, saying that his father had left a lot of good things for many years, and the store would not sell these handicrafts in the future.
Yang Deng didn't know the situation, but Mengzi had been with Tang Dou's father for so many years, but he knew some roots, and the boss had a few real things, but that couldn't support a big store.
The next day, he officially opened the door to do business, others sold three thousand things, and similar things in the Tang Bean store only sold three hundred, and the business was so hot that there were so many customers that they couldn't squeeze in, and cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the fierce son.
Seeing that the business on the other side of the door was booming, Ge Changgui stood in front of his door with his hands behind his back and shook his head and sneered, the antique industry is not open for half a year, open for half a year, and there are people who do this business? It seems that this kid is either tossing around, or is about to change careers, but what are you doing without antiques on this antique street? This kid is going to lose the little family business that Old Tang has accumulated.
It's a good loser, when your kid can't hold on, in the end it's not the idea of hitting the storefront, this is a good thing, I'll wait for the cabbage price to collect your store.
After half a day, Mengzi and Yang Deng's bones were about to be tired, and Mengzi took care of Yang Deng, only letting her do some light work of collecting money and keeping accounts, but even so, Yang Deng and Mengzi still seemed to be fished out of the water, and their whole bodies were soaked.
The business is so busy, but Tang Dou, as the boss, didn't even show his face, which is really infuriating.
When it was close to noon, Mengzi took a free time and trotted out to get three boxed lunches, and the business was so busy that he could only settle down.
When Mengzi returned to the store, he saw that the door of the store was blocked, and there were many people standing outside the door pointing and pointing, so he was nervous, and hurriedly separated the crowd and squeezed in.
When I entered the store, I saw Yang Deng standing there at a loss, and Mengzi hurriedly stood beside Yang Deng and asked, "Yang Deng, what's wrong." ”
When Yang Deng saw Mengzi, it was like seeing a savior, and he pointed to the people in the store aggrievedly and said: "Mengzi, they won't let them sell, they want to find the boss, but I rang the doorbell for a long time and the boss didn't reply." ”
Mengzi looked at those people, and when he saw it, he knew all of them, all of them were the owners of the shops on this antique street, and the most familiar one was Ge Changgui on the other side.
"Boss Ge, Boss Zhang, Boss Huang, Boss Wang, Boss Sun, open the door to do business, why do you still care about coming to our store, what do you mean, do you think that our boss is gone, Tang Dou is still young and easy to bully? Let me tell you, with my fierce son, no one wants to bully the beans. ”
As he spoke, Mengzi stretched his arms and stood in front of Yang Deng, glaring angrily at Ge Changgui and the others.
Ge Changgui smiled and said to Mengzi: "Don't misunderstand Mengzi, we just see that your family is dealing with goods, it is not a matter for you to deal with it like this, and it also disrupts the market order, making it difficult for all of us to do. We came here to discuss with your boss Xiao Tang and see if we can change the way we deal with it, there is no other meaning. ”
Mengzi frowned, he couldn't be the master of this matter, and Tang Dou had to make an idea: "Nacheng, you wait a while, I'll call the boss." ”
There is an anti-theft door between the shop in front of the antique shop and the house behind the Tang family, the key is in Tang Dou's hand, and no one can enter the door if the door is locked, so he can only use the intercom doorbell to talk to the inside.
Mengzi rang the doorbell for a long time, but there was no reaction inside, Yang Deng said on the side: "I just rang it for a long time, the boss can't have something wrong, right?" ”
Mengzi scratched his head: "Maybe the doorbell inside is broken, I'll give a call." ”
Mengzi used the phone in the store to call Tang Dou's mobile phone, but he didn't expect it to get through.
"Who?"
"Douzi, I'm a fierce man, is the doorbell broken, you hurry up to the front, a few bosses on the street are waiting for you here."
"Cheng, I'll go over right away."
Tang Dou hung up the phone in response, grinned, just came back from the second year of Xianping in the Northern Song Dynasty when he heard the doorbell ringing, and before he could answer it, the phone rang again, it seemed that the matter ahead was quite urgent.
Tang Dou casually put the two white porcelain bowls in his hand into the bottles and cans all over the ground, beat the dust on his body, and hurriedly walked towards the shop in front.
Opening the security door and entering the store, Tang Dou saw Ge Changgui looking at him with a smile, and said with a smile: "Rare customer, has Boss Ge thought about transferring your store to me?" ”
Ge Changgui almost didn't catch his breath, but Ge Changgui was an old Jianghu after all, so he laughed twice and said directly: "Boss Xiao Tang, you sell things like this, are you planning to change careers?" ”
Ge Changgui was afraid of Tang Dou's mouth, for fear that he would not be able to get off the stage in front of several peers, so he simply changed his name to call Tang Dou Boss Xiao Tang to show his closeness.
Tang Dou doesn't sell Ge Changgui's face, this old guy is even eyeing his own shop, what is there to be polite to him.
Tang Dou's unceremonious words choked Ge Changgui back, "It's your business whether I change careers or not." ”
Tang Dou's words choked Ge Changgui up and down, and a thin monkey face became as purple as a monkey's buttocks.
Boss Huang, the oldest on the side, hurriedly smiled and laughed: "Tang Dou, the people who do business on this street are all your uncles and uncles, and we also care about you, don't we." ”
Tang Dou smiled at Boss Huang: "Thank you Uncle Huang for your concern, you should not only care about me." ”
Boss Huang coughed dryly twice, looked left and right, and several other bosses smiled and stretched out their hands to signal him to come.
Boss Huang knew that everyone was a person with a face on this street, for fear of being choked by this unobtrusive thing and losing face, isn't Ge Changgui's example there, and even the name of the director of the Antique Association is not good.
Boss Huang and others were expecting Ge Changgui, the director, to take the lead to explain their intentions, but now it seems that they can't count on it, and Boss Huang can only come out on his own, and said with a smile: "Tang Dou, that's the case, your handling of things like this has not had a good impact on our business on this street, your father's antique shop has also been in business for many years, and the location is also the best on our street, which is representative to a certain extent." If you deal with things like this, it will make others think that we are selling fakes on this street in the name of antiques, so that everyone's business will not be easy to do in the future, don't you say? ”
Tang Dou nodded: "What Uncle Huang said makes sense, I didn't take this into account, so what do you say I should do?" ”
You look at how sensible the child is, who can't say that it's not transferred, people are also watching people put down dishes, aren't they?
Boss Huang stroked his long beard with satisfaction, and didn't have time to show off a few peers, but he didn't expect Tang Dou to finish speaking, Tang Dou suddenly said excitedly: "Otherwise, I smashed these things and listened to the sound, well, this idea is good, anyway, these things are not worth a few dollars, so I took them to the door and smashed them, it is estimated that after the smashing, the entire Jinling City will know about my antique shop from the past to the present." ”
Boss Huang's hand shook, pulled off a wisp of white beard, and he grinned in pain and shouted.
Little ancestor, if you smash it, the name of our antique street will really be stinky by you, and who will dare to come to us in the future to exchange objects.
