Chapter 193: Apprenticeship
However, when buying some gifts in the store at the entrance of the hospital, Chu Chen unexpectedly met Feng Bohong's son-in-law, as soon as the two sides met, the person warmly shook hands with Chu Chen, which really made Chu Chen a little confused, I am not familiar with you, is it necessary to be so enthusiastic?
"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Cao Hui, and I now run a cultural company, I don't know my little brother's surname?"
Although Chu Chen felt a little abrupt, he still replied politely: "Don't be expensive, surnamed Chu, I don't know what happened to Mr. Cao?" ”
Cao Hui smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's just that there is something I want to talk to Mr. Zhao, I don't know how to contact him, I take the liberty of asking, I don't know what your relationship with him is?" ”
Chu Chen smiled and said, "He is my uncle, if you have something to find him, why don't you go directly to his company?" ”
After the last incident, Cao Hui also specifically inquired about some information about Zhao Qirui, he didn't expect that the young man in front of him was actually Zhao Qirui's nephew, and then thought of his surname Chu, and suddenly thought that this person in front of him was a member of another behemoth-like family, which suddenly made his heart lift.
To be honest, although he is in awe of Zhao Qirui, in the final analysis, only a small part of his family's strength is reflected in the "political" aspect, but the old Chu family is different, a real political family. If he can make friends with the young man in front of him, not to mention the business, the pace of his father-in-law's officialdom is very likely to take one step or two, and there is no doubt that this will give him the benefits.
Thinking of this, Cao Hui hurriedly said to Chu Chen with a smile on his face: "It turned out to be Chu Shao, it's really disrespectful." Actually, it's not a big deal for me to find Mr. Zhao, so it's okay to inform you. ”
"Yes. Please speak. ”
Although Chu Chen was a little unaccustomed to Cao Hui calling him "Chu Shao", it was just like what the master said before. In the future, more and more people will come to talk to him, and sooner or later he will have to get used to this kind of title, so he will not say much about it.
Cao Hui said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, doesn't he like antiques, I learned from a friend that at the end of the year, there was an internal exchange meeting in Xiangjiang, and I heard that there were national treasures, I don't know if he was interested in participating?" ”
When Chu Chen heard that this was the case, he immediately felt a trace of interest. said: "My uncle must be interested in this matter, but you also know that he is usually busy, and as for whether he goes or not, you have to ask him what he means." ”
"It's okay, it's okay!"
Cao Hui had also thought of this answer in advance, and he was not too disappointed, but when he saw Chu Chen's expression, his heart suddenly moved, and he asked, "I don't know if Chu Shao is interested in this aspect?" ”
Chu Chen laughed and said, "I'm in the antique business. Do you say you're interested? ”
Cao Hui was really overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "I will definitely contact you then, but I don't know what your contact information is?" ”
"That's really bothering you." After handing him the business card, Chu Chen said.
Cao Hui respectfully accepted the business card. After handing his business card to Chu Chen, he said with a smile: "How can it be troublesome, I can serve you." It's my pleasure. My company specializes in calligraphy and painting business, mainly works from the Qing Dynasty to modern times. If you are interested in it one day, you can come and visit my company. ”
"Okay. I'll definitely go when I have time. ”
Chu Chen didn't expect Cao Hui to be in the calligraphy and painting business, and now he lacks a channel in calligraphy and painting, which is a coincidence.
"Then I'll be waiting for you."
Then, Cao Hui's face was full of smiles and said, "Chu Shao, you go and get busy, I won't bother you." ”
Chu Chen nodded, and walked towards his car, this Cao Hui's idea, he also understood, but he was not disgusted with this kind of person, in the final analysis, he actually had the same psychology of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, just like the big plate of the Dingyao that was sold to Liu Lao, if he didn't want to befriend him, how could he sell it so cheaply?
Of course, this kind of person is just like Liu Lao said, if the character is okay, then you can also have a relationship, if the character is too bad, then it is better to break it off as soon as possible, otherwise you will definitely suffer from it
After that, Chu Chen went to buy some toys and drove to Zhou Wenping's new home.
*********************************
In ancient times, this was a big deal, especially for closed disciples.
The traditional master-apprentice relationship is second only to the father-son relationship, that is, the so-called "parents who give birth to me, master who teaches me", and "reincarnation is like reincarnation". In some industries, once you enter the master's door, you are all disciplined by the master, and your parents have no right to intervene, or even meet. The establishment of such an important relationship naturally requires the recognition and protection of solemn customs and etiquette.
At that time, the etiquette of apprenticeship was particularly cumbersome, and it was very grand to worship the patriarch, worship the protector of the industry, worship the teacher, zuihou lectures, etc.
Today's society is different, apprenticeship is rarely so troublesome, wrap a red envelope to give a cup of tea, even if you finish worshipping the teacher. Moreover, many people do not attach too much importance to the relationship between master and apprentice, and even some people have become teachers, although the two sides will not be strangers, but they will not be too close.
However, Liu Lao still attaches great importance to Chu Chen, and Chu Chen is also a person who respects his teacher, and his apprenticeship will not be too casual. It's just because of the identities of both parties, and after all, it's the new century, Liu Lao also decided to keep everything simple, just invited some relatives and friends to witness it with him.
Of course, there is also Liu Lao's intention to protect Chu Chen, after all, Chu Chen is too young, and his own background is too strong, if he enters everyone's sight too early, not only will it not be good for him, but there are some people with ulterior motives, and he may not be troublesome.
On such an important day today, Chu Chen got up early in the morning, tidied himself up, and then drove to Uncle Wu's house, where he had breakfast, and then took Uncle Wu to Liu's house together.
When Chu Chen and the others came to Liu's hometown, there were already two guests arriving, and after Liu Qinshu introduced the two sides to each other, he knew that these two were the two senior brothers that Chu Chen had heard of.
Senior brother Yu Renpeng is a half-hundred-year-old man, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, and he looks like he is an old pedant. He is now a professor in the Department of Archaeology at Jingcheng University, specializing in the identification of bronze and jade, and also has research on porcelain. In the future, Chu Chen's graduate school will be to study with him.
The second senior brother Yi Hongguo is a man about forty years old, who looks tall and big, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and has the characteristics of a soldier, but in fact he is indeed a Vietnam War veteran. Don't look at him as rough as he looks, he is not only the owner of Shanghai Ju Shangde Jewelry, but also a senior cultural relics appraiser, good at calligraphy, painting and miscellaneous appraisal.
"Senior brother, since you are good at calligraphy and painting appraisal, how can you open a jewelry company?" Chu Chen couldn't help but feel a little strange when he heard that Juyi Hongguo was actually the owner of a jewelry company.
Yi Hongguo said kindly: "Hey, it's not because of your sister-in-law, she likes this, when she chased her, in order to please her, she gritted her teeth and entered this industry." ”
At this time, Liu Lao walked out of the back room and sneered: "Hey, others are forgetful friends, you are forgetful of teachers, I originally planned to let you have greater achievements in this industry, but what is the result?" ”
Yi Hongguo said with a smile: "Master, I haven't let go of what you taught me in the past few years." ”
Liu Lao snorted coldly: "You still have the face to say, if you hadn't changed your career to engage in gold and diamonds, and then indulged in expanding your career, would your current achievements be like this?" ”
Yi Hongguo scratched his head and smiled, and he didn't argue, he also knew that what the master said was right, if he hadn't started from scratch, his achievements in antiques would definitely be much higher than now.
When Chu Chen heard this, he said, "Senior brother, you are in the gold jewelry business, I thought you were in the jewelry business of jade or jade jewelry. ”
Liu Lao took over and said: "If he makes jade jewelry, I won't scold him, after all, this is not compatible with antiques." ”
"Hehe, I didn't do it before, but recently the market of jadeite has risen, and our company also wants to enter this industry."
Liu Qinshu smiled after hearing this: "Brother Yi, then you have to ask Achen for advice." ”
"How?" Yi Hongguo asked with some novelty.
"What else can I say about this, Achen's gambling stones are very powerful, as far as I know, he even gambled on glass species for an estimated four or five yuan."
"Really?!"
Hearing what Liu Qinshu said, Yi Hongguo's face was full of disbelief.
"Nonsense, this is still fake, I don't believe you asked Achen yourself."
Chu Chen hurriedly said modestly: "Hehe, it's all just luck." ”
After getting Chu Chen's affirmation, Yi Hongguo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly: "Senior brother, why don't I invite you to come to our company as a gambling stone consultant, it's easy to talk about money." ”
"No way!"
Boss Liu said with a face, Chu Chen is a good seedling that he finally met, and he can't let his apprentice be ruined by anything.
Yi Hongguo saw that the master was really angry, and hurriedly said: "Master, biedong is angry, it's not good for your health, I'm not joking." ”
"Hmph, it's strange to believe you!"
Yi Hongguo swore that "really, I promise not to invite my junior brother to my company as a consultant." ”
Looking at Yi Hongguo's determined expression, Liu Lao calmed down a little: "I hope you really remember your words." ”
Yi Hongguo said speechlessly: "Master, is my reputation so bad?" But can we discuss something? Speaking of zuihou, he smiled at Liu Laomei
"What's the matter? I'm telling you, don't make any mess of it! ”
Yi Hongguo said with a smile on his face: "Next month, there will be two large jewelry companies in Pingzhou to host a large-scale jade trade fair, after all, my company is a first-time test, can you let my junior brother help me to check it?" Don't worry, I won't bother my junior brother in normal times. (To be continued......)
