Chapter 3 A Month in the Pan Homeland
Xu Yang has been working in "Tianbaoxuan" for a week, and now Xu Yang is quite satisfied with this job, working from 5 pm to 9 pm every day, all day on Saturday and Sunday, with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan!
The main responsibility is to clean up and organize the items, of course, the valuable items are not his turn now, the main thing is that he is responsible for some handicrafts.
In this week, he knew the difference between antiques and handicrafts, and felt ashamed of the thoughts in his head on the day he first came, and estimated that if he was rich, he would definitely be the "big head" in the eyes of these people!
Antiques are ancient artifacts that are cherished by people, and they are cultural heritage and rare items left to us by our ancestors. There are countless historical, cultural, and social information deposited on it, and this information cannot be replaced by any other artifact. Because antiques can be used as a kind of plaything, we later called them "antiques"!
In layman's terms, it is the things that have been left by the ancestors for many years. In the words of the capital, it is also called "old objects"!
In other places, handicrafts are handicrafts, and in the antique industry, these handicrafts are used by many profit-hungry guys, adding some old handicrafts, pretending to be antiques!
Even those connoisseurs will "eye-catching" the clever old-fashioned method! Just like many antique shops, they are the kind of shops that are open for three years and do not open for three years! Here's why!
It's only been a week for Xu Yang to find that the "water" in this antique world is too deep! He can't play at all as a working boy, but Ye Kai listens to the stories of the shopkeeper here every day in addition to finishing the work in his hands!
"Tianbaoxuan" is also well-known in the capital Panjiayuan, or it is also quite famous in the antique world, and the main reason is that "Tianbaoxuan" is to do business in good faith! It is a handicraft is a handicraft, and an antique is an antique!
Of course, if you have the ability to "pick up leaks" in handicrafts, Tianbaoxuan is absolutely welcome! However, according to Xu Yang's knowledge, there are no less than five real experts in "Tianbaoxuan"! There are also "Tianbaoxuan" bosses who have a wide range of friends. Every time I receive something good, someone will identify it for free!
In Xu Yang's eyes, there is no difference between those handicrafts and antiques, if there is a difference, it seems that those handicrafts are much more beautiful than antiques!
In any case, Xu Yang has begun to have a strong interest in antiques! Every day, after finishing the work in hand, he will help the shopkeeper and the big guys to serve tea and pour water, and from time to time he will also help them do some errands.
For this new handyman, people inside and outside the "Tianbaoxuan" are very fond of it, first of all, he is diligent, he is quick to do things, and he is well organized in his work! He has "eyesight" and knows what he should do and what he should not do! Sweet in his mouth! A big brother and an uncle shouting!
So in just one week, Xu Yang conquered everyone! Although he is still a handyman, everyone is very kind to Xu Yang! And Xu Yang also asks some stories about antiques from time to time when he has nothing to do!
Whether it's a big guy or a shopkeeper, sometimes the boss of "Tianbaoxuan" will tell some stories about the antique world when he is there!
Xu Yang has been particularly independent since he was a child, and it can be said that his experience and experience are definitely much stronger than his age, and when he was eleven or twelve, he began to pay all kinds of management fees by himself, buy the things he needs, and he has basically not been deceived since he was a child! Sometimes he also thinks that it is not a bad thing for his parents to raise himself like this!
A month passed quickly, Xu Yang's life was quite fulfilling, every day at school after class, let "Tianbaoxuan" give himself a certificate, he will not go to the evening self-study! Every Saturday and Sunday, he will get off work at seven o'clock! And these two days, he will go out to eat, drink and have fun with his brothers in the dormitory!
First of all, he is a young man, and it is impossible for him to ignore everything like an old man! Moreover, the other three brothers in the dormitory are indeed people who can be friends, and for Xu Yang, the only son, these people are nothing more than his own brothers!
In the first month when Xu Yang received his salary, the boss of "Tianbaoxuan" gave Xu Yang an extra 500 yuan, the reason is that he has seen Xu Yang's diligent work in the past month, whether it is in front of or after people. And he also knew about Xu Yang's situation! So he gave an extra 500 yuan!
Other people don't blush at all, the shopkeeper earns an annual salary, and the big guy's salary is more than Xu Yang's salary every month! And since Xu Yang came, the other people in the store have also relaxed a lot! As long as Xu Yang can do it, they have basically done it!
When the money was taken out, Xu Yang invited his brothers in the bedroom to have a big meal, although he said that he couldn't go to any good restaurant, but it was expensive, this meal was also a thousand oceans of Xu Yang, of course, Xu Yang was not distressed!
To say that Xu Yang doesn't want to develop in Gaoli is fake, big guy Brother Zhao, sometimes the bonus for selling an antique is much higher than his salary. But Xu Yang is not ambitious, he knows that he is a "beginner" in the industry! Now he can't even distinguish between the simplest handicrafts and antiques, as well as the allusions behind those antiques!
If you don't understand, you can learn, you can't ask! In the past month, Xu Yang has indeed achieved a few words of mantra in the antique industry: "See more, listen more, ask more, and do less"! That is, you can see more, listen more, ask more if you don't understand, and don't buy it!
Xu Yang also learned that in the antique industry, it is not illegal to cheat! This made Xu Yang, who had just heard about this, stupidly ask why? And the surname of the big shopkeeper of "Tianbaoxuan" is Sun, who is quite kind! But Xu Yang knows that this kind shopkeeper is as shrewd as an old demon in Montenegro!
The shopkeeper Sun told Xu Yang that in the antique business, the two bought and sold each other. The seller can blow the things to the sky, of course, the buyer can also sit on the ground and bargain, but once the transaction is completed, no matter whether the buyer buys something genuine or fake, you must not find the back account, the thing you buy is real, it means that your eyesight is good!
And since the nineties, the country has been revitalized, and at that time some people have begun to get rich, and these rich people are often commonly known as "nouveau riche" in that era.
Many of these people had no culture, but they just caught up with the social background of the time, and their own unique vision, and became rich first, but the more such people did not want others to look down on, and began to learn the vassal elegance! From that time on, the antique world also recovered!
This made some lawless people see the huge profits, and began to think of various ways to fake, Xu Yang heard the shopkeeper Sun say that at least half of the things in the Pan family were true at the beginning, but now one thousandth, one ten-thousandth is true!
And the shopkeeper Sun saw that Xu Yang seemed to have plans to enter this industry, and told some stories in the same way, Xu Yang was dumbfounded when he heard it, and the shopkeeper Sun said that the previous owner of an antique shop not far in front of him was also a person with small assets, but it was only the last time, so he had to sell the store to pay off the debt! And that bureau, the other party set up for three years! After Xu Yang listened, he deeply felt that the "water" in the antique world was deeper than he thought!
Now Xu Yang will also help sell some gadgets from time to time, all of which are things with a small transaction amount, and of course Xu Yang also helps sell handicrafts! But Xu Yang has never forgotten what he came here for. He's just a handyman! So he only helps out after he's done his work.
Usually on Saturdays and Sundays, when the crowds are too busy, he helps the guys in the store to sell some handicrafts or things that cost thousands of yuan! For example, jade, a lot of money! These are not high-quality products, they are very cheap, usually hundreds to thousands!
Because Xu Yang can read people, and people can speak well, sometimes he sells the most things! It is surprising to see that the shopkeeper Sun and others are also surprised! If it weren't for the fact that Xu Yang has no professional level at all now, he would also know some of the "Chu Ding" and the boss of "Tianbaoxuan" who knew some stories and wanted him to sell some valuable things!
On this day, Xu Yang didn't have classes in the afternoon, and he came out at one o'clock, and now when he is basically fine, Xu Yang will go to Panjiayuan early to go around and listen to the stories about antiques there. There are all the things sold in Pan's homeland, even the villain books I read when I was a child!
"Huh~" Xu Yang exclaimed in surprise! This thing is also there, I really didn't pay attention to it before, I don't know when, there is a new "practice" stall here, and the things sold are also quite novel!
In the past, this thing was also sold here, but few people bought it, Xu Yang's family has a very old record player, I heard that his parents bought it when they got married. Since he was a child, Xu Yang has liked to listen to the music in those old records!
Xu Yang squatted there and looked at dozens of old records! Although he didn't know whether he was antique or not, these records were good things.
"How did this record sell!" Xu Yang picked up a record, this one he accidentally broke when he was a child, and he didn't expect to find the original here!
"Five hundred!" said the boss sitting there, a middle-aged man, glanced up.
It stands to reason that this price is really not expensive! But Xu Yang also knows that the other party is asking for a price here, and he can also return a price!
"The boss is a little more expensive, a hundred!" Xu Yang said.
"Hehe! You give this price too cheap! The price is four hundred!" The other party saw that Xu Yang really wanted to buy it, so he returned a price!
"Don't mind, I'm just a student, and I don't have much money, so let's not pay it back a little bit, two hundred! I can only give two hundred at most, if you don't sell it, I can only leave!" Xu Yang said.
"Two hundred is a little less! It's too much less! These records were only two hundred yuan when I received them, and if I sold them, I would lose too much!
Xu Yang has not been in vain in Panjiayuan this month, and he also has a certain understanding of the acting skills of these guys, but Xu Yang took a look at the stall again!
"Damn! This boss is a cow! Everything!" Xu Yang didn't notice that this boss actually bought a game disc in Pan's homeland!
"Boss, I'm adding twenty yuan to you, don't you take me a game CD! But boss, you're also very good, sell this thing here!" Xu Yang said with a smile.
"Ah, those are together, I'm just selling these records!Two hundred and two! Okay! Little brother, let's make friends, you can pick one yourself!" he pushed the cardboard box of the game disc!
"God appraiser!" Yo, there is such a growth game, I like this kind of game the most, I paid for it, and walked towards "Tianbaoxuan" with a record and a CD!
He didn't know that something that would change his life was about to happen!
