Chapter 404: Uncle Wu's Joining
Chu Chen said goodbye to the elated original owner, and returned to the shop that was now his own.
"How's it going?" Uncle Wu asked happily.
For Chu Chen to be able to buy this store, Uncle Wu can be said to be extremely happy. Chu Chen can be said to be the child he watched grow up, and it is very likely to be his son-in-law in the future, although Chu Chen is very good at gambling and makes a lot of money, but for Uncle Wu, only if Chu Chen has a stable career, he will feel more at ease.
Chu Chen raised the real estate certificate in his hand and said with a smile: "It's all done, and it cost more than eight million in total." ”
Everyone was very surprised to see that Chu Chen had actually completed the real estate certificate so quickly, but when they thought of Chu Chen's identity and background, they were relieved.
The shop of more than 800 square meters only costs 8 million, and ordinary people really can't buy it. Of course, the original owner is not a fool, he will sell at a loss, you must know Lu Dao, but it gives him benefits, although this benefit is just Sun Xingnan moving his mouth, but the income brought to him is far higher than the loss of the store.
So next, the four of them began to discuss the layout and decoration of the store. After some discussion, the layout of the store was basically established.
Downstairs, it is divided into four areas, an office area, a reception area, and two sales areas, one side sells jade and ancient jade, and the other side sells antiques.
The upper floor is divided into three sections, the vault, the studio, and a small reception room, where the master carver works, and the reception room on the second floor, which is dedicated to entertaining high-end customers, and the vault.
The layout of the store was discussed. Chu Chen opened his mouth and said, "Brother Zhou, I will invite the decorator to come over tomorrow." When the time comes, you will be responsible for the decoration, fifth brother. Next Monday, there will be a financial officer coming, and when she sets up the financial accounts, you can start the acquisition of antiques, but if it is more than 50,000 yuan, you have to ask Uncle Wu to check it first. ”
"It's nothing, it's nothing!" Lao Wu hurriedly waved his hand.
With the current antique market, more than 50,000 things are already considered treasures, and it is also appropriate to let Uncle Wu check it, as for the future market rise. Everyone also knows the roots, and Chu Chen will also improve this aspect accordingly.
"Xiaochen, why don't I close the store and do it with you?" Uncle Wu, who was standing next to him, interjected.
Uncle Wu was also thoughtful about this idea, he is now sixty years old after all, and now that Wu Ke's tuition is no longer worrying about him, then he doesn't have to think about making money as hard as before, since this is the case, it is better to help Chu Chen, who is regarded as his nephew.
Actually, the most critical. He is still a little worried about Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu, not because he is worried about their character, but about the experience of the two.
Chu Chen was really overjoyed when he heard what Uncle Wu said. Hurriedly nodded and agreed. It wasn't that he hadn't thought of inviting Uncle Wu before, and as long as he opened his mouth, Uncle Wu would agree. However, he thought that Uncle Wu's shop had been open for so many years after all, and he must have feelings for it. Therefore, he never mentioned this matter to Uncle Wu in person.
Hearing Uncle Wu's joining, Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu were happy at the same time. I also breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, just like Uncle Wu said, they also felt that they were too young, and in the antique industry, the older master who sat in the hall was undoubtedly more able to shock the scene, with Uncle Wu, their pressure was undoubtedly much less.
"Uncle Wu, your salary is also the same as that of Brother Zhou and Fifth Brother, the basic salary plus the year-end commission, right?"
Previously, Chu Chen gave Zhou Wenping two salary plans, one is a rather expensive fixed salary, and the other is a basic salary plus year-end commission.
Although at first glance, the salary of the latter plan does not seem to be as generous as the previous one, but modern people have some financial knowledge, and following Chu Chen, the discerning person knows at a glance that the latter plan is good, so the two chose the latter one without saying a word.
Uncle Wu waved his hand and said, "Whatever you want, anyway, I am such a daughter as Keke, and in the future, after a hundred years, I can't take things away, and I won't leave them all to you." ”
"That's fine!" Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, having said that, what should be given is still given, after all, this is also an affirmation of Uncle Wu's work.
"By the way, you said so much just now, why doesn't it seem that you are the master here?" Uncle Wu asked with a smile.
Chu Chen scratched his head and said, "I'm going to England in two days, so the matter of the store can only trouble you." ”
"To England?" Uncle Wu was stunned, then immediately reacted and asked, "Are you going to see Coco?" ”
Chu Chen nodded happily, anyway, he already knew the truth, so there was no need to be embarrassed.
After getting Chu Chen's affirmative answer, Uncle Wu was very happy, it seems that the relationship between his daughter and Chu Chen is progressing well, maybe in two years, he will be able to hold his grandson.
"Don't forget, help us bring a good voice to our younger siblings!" Zhou Wenping patted Chu Chen's shoulder and said.
"Okay, I must bring it. ……”
Seeing that the time was almost up, Chu Chen asked the others to go to Bazhen Jade Food first, he had already booked a place there, and he drove to pick up Sister-in-law Wu and Grandma Wu, and everyone had a lively dinner. ……
The next day, after Chu Chen came out of the house, he went straight to his shop. Last night he had a phone call with the owner of the renovation company and made an appointment to meet him at his shop early in the morning.
The decoration company that Chu Chen hired was the one that helped him decorate the villa before, and the design was also taken care of by the decoration company, after all, it was impossible for him to ask Professor Xiang to help him design the store.
When Chu Chen arrived, Zhou Wenping and the people from the decoration company had already arrived, and after everyone exchanged a few words, Chu Chen told him his requirements. Decoration is simple and simple, as long as it is done according to the design drawings, but the design drawings will take a lot of effort to complete.
So next, the boss of the decoration company asked everything clearly, no way, the young man in front of him is a master to him, if he is not satisfied with his work by then, he is likely to be unable to eat and walk around.
Of course, this matter has disadvantages for him, and more of it is good, if Chu Chen is satisfied with his work and introduces him to a few renovation projects at that time, then he will be comfortable in the future.
After explaining everything, Chu Chen just wanted to go to Zhu Dafu's store to contact him about his feelings, but he didn't expect to receive a strange call, and looking at the number, it was actually from the United States, which made him very strange, he didn't have any acquaintances in the United States.
"Is it Xiaochen? I'm your Uncle Zuo! ”
Chu Chen pressed the call button, and immediately a somewhat familiar voice came from the phone, which turned out to be his uncle's friend Zuo Lei. For this Uncle Zuo, he has a deep impression, no way, who is called Zuo Lei is really too kraft candy.
"It turned out to be Uncle Zuo, why did you go to the United States?"
"What else can I do, of course I'm here to do accidents and travel. Xiao Chen, is your brother kiln three-legged furnace still there? ”
Chu Chen smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Of course it's here, but Uncle Zuo, don't fight my idea of a three-legged furnace in the brother's kiln, okay?" ”
Zuo Lei smiled and said, "If I don't want to beat your three-legged furnace idea, it's okay." ”
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Chu Chen said helplessly.
"There will be a black market auction in the future, I heard that there is a brother kiln in it, I can't go back to the United States for a while, you can help me go there, if it's true, you can help me buy it first." Anyway, whether it's the real thing or a fake, I won't fight your idea of the three-legged stove anymore. ”
When Chu Chen heard this, this matter was very simple, and he might be able to buy a few good things if he went to the black market, so he agreed.
"Okay, but Uncle Zuo, you can't go back!"
"Don't worry, your Uncle Zuo will definitely not regret it, otherwise I will KO him!"
What Chu Chen didn't expect was that as soon as his words fell, the voice of his uncle Zhao Qirui came from the phone.
Yesterday, Chu Chen originally wanted to send a gift to Zhao Qirui, but Zhao Qirui said that he was out of town and asked Chu Chen to wait for him to come back before going, but he didn't expect that he and Zuo Lei were now in the United States.
"Oooo You also KO me, do you have itchy skin and want me to help you loosen your muscles? ”
"Do you have that qualification, or I'll give you a loose first!"
"Hey! You guy actually dare to sneak attack, look at my Foshan shadowless feet! ……”
Hearing a chaotic sound on the phone, Chu Chen was speechless for a while, but he was also a little curious, how did Zuo Lei's fat figure show his shadowless feet in Foshan!
After hanging up the phone, Chu Chen remembered that he didn't know the contact information of the other party, and was about to make another call, when he suddenly thought that since Zuo Lei was looking for him, he must have arranged it, and it was estimated that he just had to wait for the other party's call.
Without further ado, Chu Chen immediately went to the bank to withdraw two million, with this money, it should be enough for this auction, after all, it is a black market auction, there is a good possibility that there is something wrong with the thing, if the price is too expensive, it is better to go to a regular auction to buy it.
In fact, if Zuo Lei had gone to a formal auction, with his economic strength, he would have bought a Song Ge kiln a long time ago, but I don't know what he thinks, thinking that going to the auction to buy something is not interesting, but just smashing it with money, he doesn't want to buy the joy of the object he likes, and he is affected by the smell of copper.
Maybe Uncle Zuo has a spiritual cleanliness fetish, but isn't this black market auction also an auction, if you want to get something you like, isn't it also a matter of smashing it with money? Could it be that his preferences are determined by how much money is spent?
If he can't figure it out, he won't think about it anymore, but since he has a box of money, and he doesn't know when the other party will notify him, it must be inconvenient for Zhu Dafu to go again, so he simply returned to Yuhuating and prepared to classify the wool. (To be continued......)
