After eating breakfast, the two set off to the major jewelry stores in Donglin City, the nearest store is at the Machong intersection, a five-minute drive.

Because they didn't say hello in advance, the store staff didn't know that the boss suddenly inspected, so it was foreseeable that when Liu Xi walked into the store, those lazy staff looked panicked.

In fact, it was probably because it was too early, there were no customers in the store, and the staff yawned and lay on the counter in a posture that affected the company's image.

Liu Xi's face is not good-looking, and he is familiar with the company's business with the shareholders, but they are greeted by the laziness of the staff, where there is a little professionalism, not only that, as the manager of a store, he doesn't lead by example, and he can't see anyone during work.

Chen Jingwen's purpose today is to try his luck to find Lingyu, because his mind is not focused on the company's management, when Liu Xi asked the staff to call the store manager with a straight face, he was attentive to whether there were aura fluctuations in the major counters.

About an hour later, Chen Jingwen and Liu Xi walked out of the Machong store and continued to the next store.

Time passed in Chen Jingwen's disappointment again and again, he didn't touch it, the five jewelry stores did not contain the aura of jewelry jade pendants, the spirit jade was scarce, the formation conditions were harsh, money may not be able to buy, you need a certain chance, if the opportunity is good, maybe you can pick up a piece of spirit jade by climbing a mountain.

As for whether it can be recognized, it is difficult to say, because ordinary people can't sense the aura contained in the spirit jade itself.

Chen Jingwen is not without gains, five stores down, have a basic understanding of the company's jewelry business, Liu Xi every time he takes him to a store to introduce in detail, including the person in charge of the store and the main products, quarterly turnover, nearly half a year profit and loss, etc.

Although Chen Jingwen's purpose was Lingyu, he was not absent-minded, Liu Xi introduced it seriously, he listened carefully, and after such a hard work, it was from morning to afternoon, and the time was not unpleasant.

Walking out of the store in Lincheng District, Chen Jingwen looked up at the sun slanting westward, and said with a wry smile: "How can there be such a good thing in the world, and how can spiritual jade be an ordinary thing." ”

Liu Xi, who was standing beside him, was stunned and said, "Lingyu?"

Chen Jingwen said solemnly: "I suddenly remembered what a jewelry lover said, he talked about the best jade is not jade jade, nor agate jade, but spiritual jade. I thought that there would be a jade pendant made of spiritual jade in the company's store, and I thought about buying a piece to see what was so good and what was the difference from other jade. ”

Liu Xi chuckled and said: "I don't know much about jade, I only know some common sense, and it's the first time I've heard of the spirit jade you said." ”

Chen Jingwen said casually: "Maybe that jewelry lover has also seen the introduction of Lingyu in the book, but he has not seen it." ”

After a pause, Chen Jingwen suddenly remembered something, and asked softly: "If I want to remember correctly, there is also a branch of the company on Chengxing Street?"

Liu Xi nodded: "The predecessor of the Qixiangju Group was the Qixiangju antique shop on Chengxing Street, but now the Qixiangju antique shop is managed by my grandfather, and the company does not participate in the specific operation." ”

Chen Jingwen laughed loudly: "I often hear friends around me say that Chengxing Street is an antique lover's Taoyuan, but unfortunately I haven't been to Donglin for a year. ”

Since the jewelry stores have been visited, simply go to the antique street to try their luck, and do not delay this time, Chen Jingwen also plans to spend another day tomorrow to visit other jewelry stores in Donglin City, although the chance of finding Lingyu is very small, but as long as there is the possibility of Lingyu, there is no reason to let it go.

Liu Xi quipped: "Your shareholder is really dedicated. ”

Chen Jingwen smiled slightly: "The main thing is that Chengxing Street is very close to us, and the time is not too late, just take this opportunity to take a look, I estimate that we will go for a walk, and it will be almost dinner." ”

Liu Xi chuckled: "I haven't visited Chengxing Street for a long time, I hope I can find a treasure with good luck today." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Chengxing Street is very famous in Donglin City, extremely famous, it also has another name Taoyuan, the paradise of Tibetan friends Taobao, the passenger flow of Taobao here every day is as high as 30,000 or 40,000, among which there may be international friends from all over the world, but where you come to Donglin to play, come to Chengxing Street to visit and shop seems to have become one of the necessary items.

As a large-scale antique art market, only you can't think of it here, the number of business items is definitely more than you imagine, antique furniture, four treasures of the study, ancient books and paintings, old books and periodicals, agate jade, ceramics, Chinese and foreign coins, bamboo and wood bone carvings, shadow puppet masks, Buddhist tokens, national costumes, Cultural Revolution relics, etc.

Chengxing Street is divided into six business areas, among which the stone carving and stone carving area, the modern collection area is the two most popular areas, and also the two most fierce battlefields.

There are exceptions to everything, and the antique shop is a clear stream of many strong shops, because it has a deep heritage, and usually Taoyou come here, and there is no need to call the young and beautiful shopping guide to scratch his head and shout everywhere.

When it comes to odd goods, most people may think of the odd goods group, but they don't know that the predecessor of the strange goods group is a small antique shop on Chengxing Street.

It is said that the development history of Qixiangju is quite legendary: it was founded by an antique collector surnamed Liu Mingwu in the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, and it has been quiet and did not develop any fame during the reign of the feudal dynasty.

At that time, Liu Wu's descendants did not have the idea of rebuilding the foundation, and the national disaster was at the head, and the husband was responsible, so it was incumbent on him to join the army and kill the devil. It was not until the end of the Sino-Vietnamese Freedom Counterattack that Liu Jinjun, who became a soldier under the influence of his father, returned to his ancestral business after recovering from injuries on the Sino-Vietnamese battlefield and continued to do the antique business.

After more than 30 years of development, Odd House has developed into a diversified group integrating jewelry, antiques, mining, investment and so on. It's a pity that because of the wrong development strategy, Qixiangju Group is now in a dilemma of tight funds.

The odd goods house on Chengxing Street is not under the management of the odd goods group, but it can properly use the group's resources, just because the founder Liu Jinjun and Mr. Liu are in charge of this antique shop.

Now the old man Liu lives in a small shop, of course, not to make money, at his age, money is enough to spend, thirty years ago, maybe the old man still had to rely on odd goods to support his family, but now the picture is a hobby, it doesn't matter how much money you make, it doesn't matter if you can earn it or not.

Today, Mr. Liu is not in the store, and the business in the store is taken care of by the appraiser Yang Yuanlin, a middle-aged man who is not confused, medium height, slightly thin, and looks like an ancient storyteller at a glance.

Probably because of the May Day holiday, there are more customers in the store, and the staff is busy before and after, Yang Yuanlin, who is in charge of the identification work, is personally entertaining the guests.

Liu Xi led Chen Jingwen in, raised her eyes to look around the store, and saw that Yang Yuanlin was busy, so she didn't go to say hello, she turned to Chen Jingwen and said, "You can walk around casually and see what you like in the store." ”

Chen Jingwen smiled and nodded, and then walked to the major exhibition counters.

As an antique shop for the spread of folk culture, Chen Jingwen had never been in contact with it before, because he had no interest, but now he saw a variety of items placed on the display case, but he felt quite novel, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as an eye-opener.

Chen Jingwen's eyes swept over all kinds of objects, and when he saw a bead at a certain counter, his eyes froze, and he muttered excitedly: "This is ......?!"

With the words excited and excited, Chen Jingwen's current mood was expressed, at this time he only had the bead in his eyes, it looked like Sheila was ordinary, similar to an ordinary bead, without the slightest bright spot, and even flaws, but the bead contained abundant aura!

The beads that can contain aura, Chen Jingwen can't name them, and there is no relevant introduction to the martial arts knowledge in his mind, but there is no doubt that they must be rare and exotic objects.

Chen Jingwen suppressed the excitement in his heart, and wanted to call the shopping guide, but before he could speak, Yang Yuanlin saw that he was staring at the counter in a daze, and knew that the guest was in demand.

Yang Yuanlin came to Chen Jingwen's side and asked with a smile: "Which item does Mr. value?" I'll take it out for you." ”

Chen Jingwen tapped the position of the beads on the glass counter with his hand, and said bluntly: "How much is the bead?" ”

Yang Yuanlin was about to praise the guest's good eyesight, but Liu Xi walked over and said with a smile: "Uncle Yang, you're busy." ”

Yang Yuanlin was surprised: "Xiaoxi, why are you here." ”

Liu Xi looked at Chen Jingwen, "Bring a friend to patronize Uncle Lin's business." Uncle Yang, let me introduce you: Chen Jingwen, the deputy general manager of our company, is also a shareholder of the company. ”

Shareholder?

Yang Yuanlin was stunned, he had followed Mr. Liu for some years, how much did he know about the shareholding structure of Qixiangju Group, when did he have such a young shareholder?

However, Yang Yuanlin didn't ask, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello Mr. Chen, I'm Yang Yuanlin, and I'm in charge of the appraisal of the antique shop in Qixiangju." ”

Chen Jingwen smiled and shook his hand, "Just call me Jingwen." ”

Liu Xi interjected with a smile, "Uncle Yang has been engaged in the antique industry for many years, and has in-depth research and accumulation on the cultural inheritance of jade porcelain. ”

Yang Yuanlin smiled heartily: "I can't talk about research, I eat with a mouth." ”

While speaking, Yang Yuanlin took out the beads on the counter and handed them to Chen Jingwen.

Liu Xi looked at the beads and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Yang Yuanlin said gently: "I don't know what it is, the beads were brought back by me when I went back to Luoyang some time ago, and I heard my friend say: This bead was dug up from a certain tomb by local tomb robbers, but unfortunately there is nothing special about this bead, so that no one wants to sell it to the tomb robbers, and finally sold it to my friend at a low price." At that time, I thought that it would be an ordinary bead as a funeral gift, so I bought it from my friend. ”

Yang Yuanlin's friend is also engaged in the antique industry, when Yang Yuanlin went to his friend's antique shop, saw this Sheila's usual bead, and asked casually, only then did he know where the bead came from.

Yang Yuanlin added: "I returned to Donglin, looked through the information and studied for a few days, but I didn't identify which dynasty the bead came from, what special significance is there, it may be just an ordinary bead, or it may be that I didn't find the information about the bead." ”

Speaking of this, Yang Yuanlin asked Chen Jingwen curiously: "Does Mr. Chen know the origin of this bead?"

Chen Jingwen turned out to be beads, and said without thinking: "It may be that there is an eye." ”

Liu Xi quipped: "I thought this bead was the spirit jade you said." ”

Chen Jingwen laughed at it, but said in his heart: "With the aura contained in the beads, it is better than the spiritual jade, it is really an unexpected gain, this trip to the antique street is not in vain." ”

"The bead has been sitting on the counter for some time, and apart from Mr. Chen, no other customers have noticed the bead. Yang Yuanlin opened his mouth and said heartily: "Mr. Chen took a fancy to it at a glance, and I thought it was fate, and I gave the beads to Mr. Chen." ”

Chen Jingwen sincerely said thank you.
