Chapter 10: Getting Started
Xie Hong looked at Wen Yiming thoughtfully, and said proudly: "Now you know how powerful our Yaxiang is, right?" But I have to tell you, Ling Tiancheng is not the best person, and there are still masters in the Ling family!"
"Have you heard of Ling Junsheng......?
Wen Yiming flashed a figure in his mind, and blurted out: "Director of the Central Plains Provincial Museum!"
Xie Hong was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously, "You don't know Ling Tiancheng, you have actually heard of Old Man Ling?"
Wen Yiming nodded and said, "Elder Ling is a visiting professor at our university, and he comes to lecture every year, so I naturally know. Could it be that he belongs to Miss Ling?"
"Grandpa!"
Xie Hong picked up the hot mutton soup, took a sip of it, and said with satisfaction: "Now you know how tough the background of the Ling family is, right? Old Man Ling was not only the director of the museum, but also the leading authority on the identification of ancient bronze books in China, and even the Forbidden City invited him to help!"
"The tiger father has no dogs, Boss Ling single-handedly created Tiancheng Auction, with an annual turnover of tens of billions, and he is the absolute leader!"
"Miss Ling is even more powerful, she has won the true inheritance of the old man since she was a child, especially she has a talent for incense, and her level is unfathomable, you can enter Yaxiangju and go back to steal the fun!"
Wen Yiming looked at Xie Hong's proud expression, it seems that the Ling family is usually good to employees, so they have such a sense of belonging. He doesn't know much about Ling Tiancheng, but Old Man Ling is a decent person, a person who has studied the past and the present, has a high reputation in the university, and is admired by many people.
"In other words, our store doesn't rely on agarwood to make money?"
Wen Yiming suddenly understood, and came to a conclusion that it is no wonder that there are only three incense masters, and people don't rely on this to make money at all!
"That's right!" Xie Hong smiled and said with satisfaction: "So working here is really a small life, decent, and a high salary! How many people can't envy the beauty difference, at that time, in order to come here, a few of us didn't know how many beauties could be defeated to get on the throne!"
"Then besides me, who are the other two incense masters? Are they the old Zhao you mentioned? Could it be that Miss Ling is also one?"
Wen Yiming finally asked the key, it was someone else's business, and he would have to mix here in the future, and directly face his peers, that is, other incense masters.
"Yes, although Miss Ling is not usually in the store, once a distinguished guest comes to the door, she will personally preside over the incense road, you must know that the members who can come to Yaxiangju are either rich or expensive, and each of them is a big person. Many of them are senior members of Tiancheng Auction, who spend at least tens of millions of dollars every year to collect antiques, and they are truly tyrants!"
Xie Hong said with a wistful face: "I have been working here for more than a year, and I really responded to that sentence, I have walked hundreds of millions of times, I am not as good as a dog! Usually Zhao Lao is in charge and presides over the overall situation, you will definitely have to follow his old man in the future, my sister will remind you first, study hard, that is also a master!"
Wen Yiming breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the situation is optimistic, there is no other peer competition except for himself, so it is best. His purpose is to accumulate contacts, and by the way to learn the broad and profound incense, it is not enough to have special abilities, the so-called art is not pressing, and it is always right to learn more skills.
Xie Hong breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and joked: "Don't worry, aren't you? Or you are really lucky, you can actually confuse the eldest lady when you meet her?" She is a well-known cold beauty, and most people can't even say a word, what kind of charm do you have?"
Seeing that Xie Hong started gossiping again, Wen Yiming quickly changed the topic, talking and laughing at a meal, and basically understood the situation. According to Xie Hong's summary, it's very simple, just work hard and be kind!
"Sister Hong, I'll go first, see you next week!"
Xie Hong looked at Wen Yiming's back, nodded with satisfaction, and said proudly: "Overtime duty today!"
Ling Yuxin was born in a famous family, and her eyes are usually above the top, and she has never seen anyone treat her differently. But when I met today, I recognized that this young man is definitely not simple, Xie Hong is not stupid, a few words can pull into the relationship with a few words, this deal is not a loss!
Wen Yiming didn't think too much about it, and left the hotel instead of going home, but came to another agarwood hall and packed all the incense utensils, as well as a lot of professional books. In the past, I only learned about fur based on interest, but now if you want to eat this bowl of rice, you must learn it from scratch!
Today is also an eye-opener for him, and Xiangdao is worthy of being the favorite of literati and even palace nobles. The tedious steps are extraordinary, which is pleasing to the eye, this is the ability.
When he returned home, he began to study the incense technique, and he was sure of the incense material, but the incense technique was not practiced overnight. His purpose is very simple, not to seek to go smoothly, at least to be decent.
Shut up all weekends, bury yourself in all kinds of professional knowledge, and hate less when the book is used. However, thanks to the major of botany, the four years of college finally came in handy, which made Wen Yiming gradually confident.
In the blink of an eye, on Monday, Wen Yiming cleaned up early, went out to take a taxi to Yaxiangju, and officially went to work on his first day today.
"Come, I'll give you a formal introduction, smell a sound, our new incense master!"
Xie Hong pulled him to the staff lounge, and saw the other three shopping guides, all of whom were big beauties, with tight-fitting cheongsams outlining a bewitching figure, and the fragrance was gusting, and they saw him surrounding him one after another.
"Yo, I'm still a handsome guy, we finally have a newcomer in the store!"
"Let me see, well, good!"
"Hey, handsome guy, I heard that you are the eldest lady and passed the interview directly?
"You can't be a relative of the Ling family, right?"
Wen Yiming looked at the beautiful woman chattering in front of him, and didn't know how to answer, but fortunately Xie Hong was there, and said loudly: "Don't mess around, today is the first day of work, the eldest lady ordered to take him to see Zhao Lao first, the time is not early, and the old man will come in a while." ”
She turned around and took out two sets of Tang costumes, handed them to Wen Yiming and said, "Go and try it!"
Wen Yiming nodded, went to the dressing room to change, silk fabric, well-fitting tailoring, and looked really good in the mirror.
"It's very handsome!" Xie Hong saw Wen Yiming dressed in Tang costume, and his eyes lit up and praised: "It's true that people rely on clothes, go, go to see Zhao Lao." ”
Coming to the third floor together, Xie Hong saw that Wen Yiming was a little nervous, and comforted: "Don't be nervous, Old Man Zhao is very good, he likes to bring up his juniors, if you have something to say, rest assured!"
Coming to the door, Xie Hong patted Wen Yiming on the shoulder and encouraged, "Go in!"
He took a deep breath, smiled and pushed open the door, the scene in front of him surprised him, the hall was full of hundreds of square meters, the closet was full of all kinds of incense, and the floor was full of strange tools, as if walking into a laboratory.
"You just smell it?"
Suddenly, an old man walked out from behind the screen, in his early sixties, with a ruddy complexion, dressed in a black Tang suit, in good spirits, staring at Wen Yiming with bright eyes.
"Hello, I'm Wen Yiming, please take care of Zhao Lao!"
Wen Yiming hurriedly stepped forward, came to the old man, and bowed deeply. Zhao Lao looked the young man up and down, and his first impression was good, he was quite a refreshing and clean young man.
"You're welcome, come, sit down and talk. ”
The old man smiled slightly, patted the other party's shoulder, motioned for someone to sit down, and introduced himself: "My name is Zhao Dacheng, and I am also an incense master, we will be colleagues in the future, communicate more." ”
"Don't dare, the juniors also ask Zhao Lao for more advice!"
Wen Yiming will not underestimate the kind old man in front of him, since he knows the background of the Ling family, it is not an ordinary person to be able to eat here. Not only is the level profound, but it seems that the relationship is the key, and Zhao Dacheng is definitely a capable person.
