"I think this bowl is more suitable here......"

Uncle Fang commanded Jin Muchen to decorate the storefront, as an old connoisseur who has been in the antique business for decades, many of Uncle Fang's buildings are still very good.

Especially in terms of the layout of the store, the area of Jin Muchen's store is much larger than that of Fang Bo's, so it takes a lot of thought to arrange it.

And the consumer group here is also different from Fang Bo, whose antique store is in Flushing, facing mainly low-end and middle-end consumer groups, as well as those pure Chinese antique lovers.

Jin Muchen's store is different, his store is located in the SOHO district of Manhattan, facing mainly the big guys on Wall Street, and the middle and high-end consumer groups with relatively wealthy living standards, and the business scope of his store is not the same as Fang Bo's.

Fang Bo is focused on the sales of Chinese antiques, but Jin Muchen's house is all-inclusive, both Eastern and Western, so the layout of this store has a lot of knowledge.

It's been more than half a month since they moved from Flushing, and in a few days, the store will open, so Fang Bo and Jin Muchen have been busy with how to set up and decorate the store recently.

Traditional Chinese antique shops will always put a lot of Chinese furniture and counters in the room to show their Chinese style, this style is very good, but Chinese furniture, and counters are generally more particular, format or materials. So the colors and the style of the furniture are more old-fashioned. There are too many such furniture. It will make the store seem cramped and depressing.

Jin Muchen doesn't like this style, relatively speaking, he prefers a concise and clear modern style.

When this store was renovated, he wanted to highlight the sense of history and modernity, so when the store was renovated, the rooms on the first floor were not painted. All of them are bare red brick walls, but the cracks in the walls have been treated in detail.

The room on the first floor looks a little rough, but when he hangs all the oil paintings he brought back from China, this mixture of roughness and modern oil painting creates a strong visual impact, making the rough industrial style a little more delicate in the postmodern style, and it looks much more comfortable.

And underneath these walls are rows of glass display cases, all of which are white display cases made of bulletproof glass. In conjunction with the beige floor, make this slightly cold room. Instantly it will become warm to take.

In front of the door, near the door, there are many handicrafts that were not sold in Fang Bo's store in the showcase, and many Chinese-style handicrafts brought back by Jin Muchen when he returned to China this time, which look very beautiful and eye-catching.

In the middle section, there will be some Chinese porcelain in the display case, although they are all modern works, but these are genuine works, at least nearly 100 years old.

Among these exhibits, except for some of the things that were not sold in Fang Bo's shop, the other parts were the broken and broken artifacts that Jin Muchen collected in Panjiayuan, and the good ones that had been restored by his purple jade space.

These porcelains were originally not very valuable, but once they were repaired, their value immediately doubled, and there were even a few porcelain bowls, porcelain plates, and vases that were originally used by the court.

And at the back of the store, which is the real boutique.

In the back of the display case, there was the set of snuff bottles he had won from Zangbao Zhai, next to the checkout counter, and next to it was a closed door that allowed you to enter behind the counter.

On both sides of the counter at the back, there are two self-striking bells enclosed by glass covers, and these two enamel color self-striking bells used by the Qianlong Emperor can be said to be absolutely beautiful.

These two chiming bells alone can already show the extraordinary temperament of this store, after all, to open an antique shop, you have to really have good things to be able to show your extraordinary.

Behind this counter there is a desk that doubles as a workbench, in front of the desk is placed a pair of celestial globes and globes, in the upper left corner of this table, there are two pen holders, one of which is the Qianlong imperial pen holder made of green jade, and the other is the bamboo carved pen holder made by Gu Yu in the Qing Dynasty, both pen holders look beautiful.

And in the front right is a set of Ronson's desktop lighter smoking set!

On the wall behind the table, there are two square holes recessed into the wall, the holes are covered with glass, one of which is placed in a strangely colored egg vase, and the other is a set of painted tableware, which is the French Sèvres egg vase that Jin Muchen bought from China after returning to China this time, and the set of Philippe the Great's imperial tableware.

Finally, on the red wall behind the desk, there are four pairs of Arthurs. Pinajean's impressionist fine paintings.

THE FURNISHINGS IN THIS STORE ALONE ARE ENOUGH TO HOLD THE WHOLE AUDIENCE, EVEN IF THE LOVELY PEOPLE INVITED ON THE OPENING DAY ARE IN THE COW BREAK, AS LONG AS THEY ARE IN THE ANTIQUE INDUSTRY, THEY HAVE TO KNEEL AFTER SEEING THESE FURNISHINGS.

Because of these things, there are several items that are definitely national treasures, and if you take out any of them, they can be used as the finale of an auction.

There are many antique shops in Manhattan, but it is really rare to find so many treasures in one house.

Jin Muchen and his grandfather also placed it for a few days, and finally felt that this placement was the most in line with their hearts.

Open a store, of course, you have to hit the ground, and the Americans don't pay attention to anything modest, low-key, not revealing their wealth and the like, you open an antique store, if you don't have a few good things to shake the store, who can take you seriously?

In the past few days, just to distribute invitations, the two of them have a headache enough, first of all, the customer group in Fang Bo's hands, don't look at his store in Flushing, but there are also a group of big players who like Chinese style antiques very much, and they often go to him, these people are also big and small characters in New York, so these people must be invited.

The second is some peers in the industry, although peers are like enemies, but sometimes peers are also very good shipping channels, after all, everyone has their own shipping channels, so sometimes it is very important to communicate with each other.

Like an old partner like Fang Bo and Rick!

Fang Bo was busy sending invitations to his customer resources and passable friends, while Jin Muchen simply notified Jesse and Helen, after all, he was in the United States, and he really didn't know many friends.

Jesse promised on the phone that he would be there on time, while Helen shouted excitedly and said that he would definitely bring a friend to cheer him over.

Although Helen and Candace are not on the right path, Jin Muchen feels that this relationship must still be notified, who let the family be born in a top family in the United States.

On August 1st, at nine o'clock in the morning, Uncle Fang and Jin Muchen opened the store, and there were already friends outside who had received Uncle Fang's notice, and they arrived one after another.

Fang Bo smiled and beckoned his friends to visit the store, while Jin Muchen stood at the door and continued to wait.

After a while, an old Lincoln sedan taxied over, and then Fang Bo's old friend, Rick pushed open the door, and down from the other side was a cool girl with eggshell-yellow blonde hair.

When he saw the girl's face clearly, Jin Muchen's breath was stagnant, but he quickly adjusted his feelings and greeted him.

"Haha, good boy, I didn't expect you to gain a foothold in Manhattan so quickly?"

Rick and he are also acquaintances, and they have a warm hug when they meet, and Jesse smiles at him faintly, and then hands him a bottle of red wine, which is a gift to celebrate the opening of the store.

Because there were guests coming one after another, the two didn't talk much, and many people came one after another, but they waited until about ten o'clock.

Suddenly, a convoy came from the front, there were enough six black Chevrolet Avalanche SUVs, this line of convoy can be said to be amazing, as long as you have a little eyesight, you know, this group of people must be not small.

The car stopped in front of the store, and then a few black-clothed people got out of the car in front, came to the back and opened the door, and the middle-aged man with blonde hair and cold face who got out of the car made Jin Muchen even more stunned.

Some people present had already recognized this blonde, cold-faced man, who was actually the current helmsman of the Hearst Group, David. Hurst!

I really didn't expect that this kid had a very hard relationship, and he could invite such a person at the helm of one of the most powerful families in the United States!

And follow David. The people behind Hearst are all too familiar to everyone, the current mayor of New York, Michael. Zoufenberg, as well as the New York police chief, Bishop, and a few of their henchmen.

What does this mean by the fact that the highest group of managers in New York are here at the same time? This shop is amazing!

Jin Muchen also looked in a daze, he knew that with his current social status, he wanted to invite these officials to come, but he couldn't invite them, it should all be that David. Hirst's credit.

Looking at David. Next to Hearst, there happened to be a beautiful woman in a white dress, smiling at herself, it was Helen.

Jin Muchen only glanced at it and knew that these VIPs were probably all invited by Helen.

At this time, David had already walked in front of him, still with a cold face, but this time he took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and Jin Muchen reached out and shook his hand.

"Boy, that's all I can do to help you!"

David's head whispered close to his ear and said, and Jin Muchen could only whisper back: "Thank you." ”

It seems that the favor that saved Helen that time, and the people are done this time! (To be continued......)
