Chapter 198: Hui's Jewels
Lao Wu smiled at Zhou Xuan and said, "That's it, hehe, this inkstone, do you want to suppress the price?" ”
Zhou Xuan shook his head and said, "Forget it, but I think this person may be gambling and red-eyed, pitiful!" ”
A few people got up and came to the outside storefront, and when the middle-aged man saw Lao Wu coming out, he immediately put the inkstone in his hand on the platform and said, "Forget it, five hundred is five hundred!" ”
Lao Wu smiled, picked up the inkstone again and examined it carefully, and the man said angrily: "I just let you see it, why do you have to spend effort to check it, can't I change it?" ”
Lao Wu smiled and said: "Sir, this is our rule, no matter how carefully we inspect it, as long as the object is taken away and re-stored, then we have to carefully inspect it as a new object, this is the rule of the industry, and it is also responsible for our own owner, if it is replaced, can we not check it and spend money to buy it?" It doesn't make sense anywhere! ”
The middle-aged man also felt aggrieved, and was stunned and said: "Forget it, let's test it quickly, and give the money quickly after the inspection!" ”
Lao Wu checked it for a while, and after verifying that it was the inkstone he had just seen, he handed the inkstone to Ah Chang, and asked Li Li to open a certificate of receipt, and then paid him 500 yuan.
It wasn't until the money was in hand that the middle-aged man put five hundred yuan into his bag and went stupidly, obviously not satisfied with the price of the inkstone, but he ran a few houses, and indeed as Lao Wu said, they still gave the highest here, and the others didn't even give three hundred yuan.
As soon as this person left, he said with a smile: "The big boss of our store is back, so let's get off work an hour early today, and everyone will go out for a beating, and the big boss will treat you and comfort the employees!" ”
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, pick a place to eat, but it's still early, boss, let's go to the suburban calcite factory to have a look!" ”
Lao Wu stayed to watch the store, and Zhou Cangsong also had to follow over to take a look, the store hired four new employees, plus the first two, a total of six people, and the manpower was still enough.
At this time, Li Li made room and said to Zhou Xuan gratefully: "Brother Zhou! ”
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Xiao Li, are you still used to work?" ”
"It's very good, Manager Zhang, Uncle Zhou, and Uncle Wu are all very good to me, and I have also started my work, and I am very happy!" Li Li said with sincere gratitude.
"That's good!" Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "Is your dad okay?" If there is a need at home, you can tell me and Manager Zhang, you can advance your salary, anyway, you're welcome! ”
Li Li nodded, her eyes were very bright, and she didn't have the sad look she had before, "My dad is completely fine, no matter what, it's the good luck that Brother Zhou brought to our family, thank you!" ”
Zhou Xuan waved his hand, smiled, and then asked intentionally or unintentionally, "How has Zhou Tao been recently?" ”
Li Li also replied casually: "He's also very good, he has to come back for dinner at noon every day, help the helper, it's just ......" chattered a few words, and suddenly looked up and found that Zhou Xuan's eyes were a little strange, after thinking about it, his face turned red all of a sudden, and he stopped talking.
Zhou Xuan smiled, thinking that Li Li is expression is this, and the younger brother's affairs are dramatic, and said with a smile: "Boss Zhang, let's go, let's go, let's go see it this way, Xiaoli also go and see, anyway, there is nothing else, Dad and Xiaoli take Boss Zhang's car, and there is only one seat in my car, hehe, let's go!" ”
Zhou Xuan's title for Li Li changed from "Xiao Li" to "Xiao Li", and unconsciously changed, Li Li blushed and didn't say anything else, Zhou Xuan asked her to follow her to the calcite factory, she didn't object, silently packed up the account book and locked it, and then followed out.
**It turned out that the old car that cost more than 100,000 yuan was driven to his wife, and he drove a Hummer off-road, and the back of the car carried Li Li and Zhou Cangsong, Fu Ying pulled Zhou Xuan, and drove the car to follow**, but he couldn't run the speed of the Bugatti Veyron, it was really not very cool, and when he got to the suburbs, it was better to have less traffic, but he couldn't support the half-speed of this top sports car, which was a speeding sports car that could reach a speed of more than 400 kilometers per hour.
Zhou Xuan came to the calcite factory once, and last time he solved more than a dozen emeralds, but this time it was different, he pulled back a few tons of wool, but there were things in it, such a large amount of goods, Zhou Xuan was thinking for a while, did he have to find some jewelers to hold a trade fair?
The guard at the gate in the calcite factory was a security guard who Zhou Xuan didn't know, but when he saw **'s car, he hurriedly ran out of the sentry box in the gate to open the door, ** and Fu Ying drove the car into the square inside and parked it, and got out of the car.
** waved his hand and said: "Watch the door!" ”
These security guards are acquaintances invited by Master Chen, although they don't think so, but they are still very responsible for giving them money to see, after all, the salary is not low, and they don't drag money, how can they not be dissatisfied?
The wool is all locked in a large factory, Zhou Tao for safety, simply set up a bed in the factory and stayed directly at the scene, divided into three shifts, people are not too tired, every day he asks for the night shift, but during the day he has to run back to the store, to have a meal with Li Li, although it is to eat fast food, the money is not expensive, but very happy, running around does not feel tired.
Li Li still understood that Zhou Tao was interesting to her after a long time, but Zhou Tao was very thin-skinned, although she liked it and was willing to get tired of being together every day, but she didn't dare to say it, of course Li Li wouldn't say anything.
Zhou Ying watched TV in the office room opposite the factory, and the door was facing the factory door.
As soon as Zhou Xuan and ** arrived, Zhou Ying saw it, stunned, and a little disbelieving, but she still ran out happily and shouted first: "Brother!" Then he came to Fu Ying's side and shouted, "Sister-in-law! ”
My brother also had an illness for his sister-in-law, and he could see that he had a deep affection for his sister-in-law, and now my brother has brought my sister-in-law back, and it is still her sister-in-law.
Zhou Ying still likes Fu Ying very much in her heart, this sister-in-law is from a rich family at first glance, but she doesn't have the slightest pampered temper.
Zhou Cangsong scolded with a smile: "You girl, no big or small!" ”
Master Chen also hurried over, and when he heard the voice, Zhou Tao also hurriedly got up and came out, and when he saw that it was his brother and Li Li, he was stunned, and he was so stupid that he didn't even know where to put his hands and feet.
Zhou Ying didn't know anything about her second brother Zhou Tao, and Zhou Tao never dared to say it.
Zhou Xuan knew his younger brother's shyness, waved his hand and said, "Xiaoying, take Sister Li Li to the factory!" ”
Zhou Ying answered, and then handed Zhou Xuan the key that locked the door of the woolen factory to Zhou Xuan, and then took Li Li to the other side of the factory.
Fu Ying secretly leaned into Zhou Xuan's ear and asked, "Is this Li Li my brother's girlfriend?" ”
Zhou Xuan smiled, nodded on her forehead, and said, "It's so smart, my brother is too shy, you go with your sister, accompany Li Li, and secretly probe her tone!" ”
Fu Ying chuckled and chased after Zhou Ying, and went to visit the huge factory with Li Li, Zhou Tao looked at Zhou Xuan, and then looked at the backs of Li Li and several people, and finally followed with a smoke.
Zhou Xuan opened the lock, and the factory was full of wool materials he transported back from Yunnan, large and small, all of which were green and not revealed.
Zhou Xuanyun measured the ice qi, and there was jade in the wool, which was the wool he chose in Yunnan, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Zhou Xuan was still watching, and then he heard Zhao Laoer's voice shouting: "Zhou Xuan, you're back, you want to kill me!" ”
Before the sound of people arrived, the typical style of Zhao Laoer, after entering the factory, he came to Zhou Xuan with a bear hug.
In recent days, Zhao Lao Er has also been very excited in front of **, with more than 20 million in his pocket, can he not be excited?
**I also sighed, I really have to feel strange, now as long as you follow Zhou Xuan, no matter where you go, you can make a fortune, it is really like Zhou Xuan is their lucky star.
The last time he came here, Zhou Xuan had actually seen the general appearance of this factory, the width was very wide, with an area of more than 3,000 square meters, and the initial needs were enough.
**Seeing Zhou Xuan walk out of the factory and look at the surrounding environment, he said: "This factory is rented for the time being, very cheap, only 8,000 yuan a month, because the property owner is useless, this is Xu's jewelry purchased five years ago, used to gamble on the stone after calcite, but two years ago, after Xu's jewelry went downhill, this factory is basically empty, and has always wanted to sell it, but the price is too low for Xu's to accept, so it is idle here, and because it is far away from the city, it is remote, and no one wants to rent it out. This time, I told Master Chen, he contacted Fang Dongfang, and it was done, we rented it, although it was cheap, it was better than empty! ”
Zhou Xuan's heart moved, and he asked Master Chen: "Master Chen, if your owner says that you sell this factory, how much will it cost?" ”
"This ......" Master Chen couldn't figure it out, frowned, and said: "I don't know about this either, I'll call the original factory director here, he is now the manager of a store in Xu's Jewelry in the city, we still contact him if we have something, but ......"
Master Chen hesitated for a moment before asking, "Mr. Zhou, do you really want it?" ”
"As long as the price is right, I really want it!" Zhou Xuan replied with a smile.
After thinking about it, Zhou Xuan said again: "Master Chen, before that, I wanted to ask you for another thing, I don't know if you are interested?" ”
"You say, I don't know what's going on!" Master Chen's impression of Zhou Xuan is still very good, although he is young, he does not have the impetuousness of ordinary young people, calm and steady, and it is easy to have a feeling of trust.
"Master Chen, to be honest, I want to buy this factory, which is specialized in calcifying stone and processing jade handicrafts, so I want to invite Master Chen to come to my factory as the foreman of the calcing master, you can invite your former friends or the calcite master here before, what about the salary, I want to ......"
Zhou Xuan smiled and said: "I think it is definitely not lower than the level of peers, and the performance commission, what do you think?" ”
Master Chen hesitated, what Zhou Xuan said sounded like a good thing, but the profession of calcifying stones is not like Tengchong and Ruili in Yunnan, and it is impossible to be as prosperous as there in other places, so no matter how good Zhou Xuan said, he didn't dare to believe it very much, who gambled on stones and lost nine out of ten, Xu's is a typical example, and a good thriving chain jewelry store was lost because of the gambling stone of the boss Xu Juncheng.
Like the Zhou Xuan in front of him, although he looks calm, if he is hooked on gambling stones, then even if he has thousands of family fortunes, he will lose cleanly, what is the use of the good conditions he gave? No matter how well it is said, if the factory is not well run, it is equal to zero.
Seeing Master Chen groaning, Zhou Xuan understood, and said with a faint smile: "Master Chen, I think so, we can sign a contract first, how much is the basic salary, and then add the performance commission, and pay the salary on the specified date every month, if the salary is in arrears, it will be dealt with according to the stipulated conditions we have negotiated, is this okay?" ”
Zhou Xuan added before Master Chen could answer: "Master Chen, I will give you a basic salary of 6,000, and then add a commission, as long as you want, you can time it from now on, no matter whether you officially start running this factory, I will pay you your salary on time, your apprentice, the basic salary is 2,000 plus commission, is it okay?" ”
Master Chen heard Zhou Xuan's own basic salary conditions, of course, he was very moved, he has been here for so long, he has been taking six or seven hundred living expenses every month, and he has not gotten it for half a year recently, if Zhou Xuan can really show it, it is undoubtedly another good opportunity, and because of the right type of work, it is of course better than finding another job if you are unemployed. Master Chen gritted his teeth and responded.
Zhou Xuan smiled, took out a stack of banknotes from his body, fortunately he brought 10,000 yuan in cash when he went out, counted 3,000 and put it back in his pocket, and then handed the remaining 7,000 yuan to Master Chen, and said: "Master Chen, here is 7,000 yuan, it is the basic salary of you and your apprentice this month, and the commission will be calculated at the end of the month, and I will pay you the salary in advance. ”
Master Chen was stunned, holding the money in his hand, he was really in a daze, after working for so many years, there has never been a boss who has not worked and paid first, just chong Zhou Xuan's straightforward personality can do it with him, anyway, he has no income now, Zhou Xuan offered such good conditions, and paid such a high base salary in advance, even if it is not good at that time, he will not lose money if he doesn't do it, and he will take the salary, what is the loss?
"Okay, good, Zhou...... Boss Zhou, I'll call right away! Master Chen didn't hesitate anymore, agreed to the work, and quickly took out his mobile phone to call the previous manager, and now after thinking of himself as Zhou Xuan's person from the heart, he will start to do things for him.
Master Chen contacted the manager, hung up after saying a few words, and then said to Zhou Xuanxi: "Boss Zhou, our previous manager immediately said that there was no problem, the boss of this factory had long wanted to sell, but he didn't negotiate the right price, so he put it aside, he said that the boss couldn't be contacted for a while, so he booked a time first, and met at No. 208 of the Xicheng Hotel at six o'clock in the evening, and he promised to arrive with Boss Xu." Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "Okay, I made a note, seat 208 of Xicheng Hotel, at six o'clock, I will be on time!" ”
After speaking, Zhou Xuan said to Master Chen: "Master Chen, you can contact your old friends again, as well as the craftsmen who carve jade pieces, if you can find it, it will be better!" ”
After thinking about it, Zhou Xuan said again: "Master Chen, I'll give you a bottom, calcite and carve craftsmen, at least five each, especially the carving master, you need to have very good skills, if you have a salary, you can talk to me!" ”
Master Chen nodded, for the stone master, he is still a little sure, after so many years, most of the old friends in the past do not have a suitable job, in the big city, there is no guarantee to do the stone, because no one can guarantee the gambling stone, businessmen, gambling losses, business will not be able to continue, so his old friends are easy to find back, as long as the salary is guaranteed to be paid on time.
However, the carving master is not easy to find, the calcite master is not popular, that is because of the difficulty of gambling on the stone, but the carving master is different, now whether it is in the domestic or international market, the jewelry boom is getting stronger and stronger, the sales volume is a new high, in the jewelry store, the price of high-end jade jewelry, one is to see the texture and quality of the jade, the other is to see the level of craftsmanship of the carver, the combination of the two, in order to fully display the value of a good jade.
Zhou Xuan also understands that now which jeweler does not have its own carving master, and the poaching is very powerful, if you want to find this opening from Master Chen, it will be difficult, as long as Master Chen sets up the calcite factory, it is good, as long as his welfare is good, the business is good, and his own wool is a treasure, who has this energy in other jewelers?
As the saying goes, as long as there is a plane tree, even if it can't attract a golden phoenix?
It's good to take your time, the foundation and the road are also slowly fighting and coming out, and you can't eat fat in one bite.
After talking to Master Chen, Master Chen took care of himself and called his old friend to connect.
Zhou Xuan saw that Master Chen was busy, so he didn't bother him, smiled and beckoned, and walked out of the wool factory.
Zhao Lao Er followed out and shouted: "Zhou Xuan, I've been bored here for a few days, I'm going to play with you!" ”
Zhou Xuan smiled and said: "Okay, you go back in the boss's car first, wait for me at home, I will go to do something with Yingying, and I will come back to you when I am done!" ”
When I went back, ** drove Zhao Laoer, Li Li, Zhou Cangsong and Zhou Tao, Zhou Ying continued to look at the factory during the day, and was guarded by Master Chen's uncle and nephew and the two security guards at night.
Zhou Xuan still took the car driven by Fu Ying, and after arriving in the city, ** drove back to the antique shop, Zhou Xuan asked Fu Ying to drive to a nearby big supermarket, ready to buy two mobile phones, this thing is really inconvenient.
The International Building on the West Side, one to seven floors are all large supermarket chains at home and abroad, the fourth floor is a jewelry and mobile phone store, take the elevator slowly up, at the entrance on the fourth floor, Zhou Xuan's first sight is the signboard of "Xu's Jewelry Store", stunned, and remembered the words of Master Chen just now, is this Xu's jewelry store the "Xu's?" ”
