in the office.

After hearing the good news brought by Master Cheng, Ji Cheng showed his sincerity and immediately dialed Master Zhen Guoliu's phone to discuss cooperation with him.

Both, all both.

The call was quickly connected.

A middle-aged man's calm voice came from the other end, "Hello, I'm Zhen Guoliu." ”

Ji Cheng reported to his home: "Hello Mr. Zhen, I am Ji Cheng, the owner of Ancient and Modern Art Company. ”

"Mr. Ji, hello, hello." Zhen Guoliu responded politely.

After a little greeting, Ji Cheng went directly to the topic and said: "I heard Master Cheng say that you are willing to cooperate with our company, do you have any other requirements besides treatment?" I'll make sure you get it done. ”

This level of master is not something that ordinary capital can control, and people may agree to sign a contract for money, but money alone can't keep the heart of a master of this level, so you have to treat it carefully.

"Hehe, Mr. Ji is polite." Zhen Guoliu is very humble, "The treatment of your company is already very good, you will be given one million a year if you don't do anything, and there will be more than hundreds of thousands of production costs for a single piece, and the producer will give you another money. ”

That's right.

Although the salary of jade carvers in China is very high, there are really not many top jade carvers with an annual salary of millions of dollars.

Generally speaking, the income of the jade carving master is divided into several parts, the first labor fee, that is, we often say the processing fee, for example, many Hetian jade carvings are mostly based on gram prices, ranging from tens to thousands of yuan per gram, and there are also calculated by piece, and the so-called gram price refers to the weight of the rough embryo after negotiation or completion of the carving.

In the carvings of jadeite and amber, it is mostly calculated by piece, and the price is negotiated in advance and the final price is set.

Of course, this kind of jade withering master is a relatively high-level jade carving master, and ordinary masters can't get it at all.

Generally, the jade witherer gets a salary, as long as he has kung fu in his hand and can draw in his hand, the basic monthly salary is 15,000 or 60,000, if the monthly salary is less than 10,000, the level is very ordinary, and the higher level can get 20,000 or 30,000.

This is also related to the city, the salary in Gusu is higher, and if it is Yangzhou, it will be much lower.

For example, because the ancient and modern art company is in Jinghai, the salary level is relatively low, and Ji Cheng Company has a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan to recruit jade withering masters, and many people are even willing to bring apprentices to work together, you must know that the salary of this line of apprentices is not paid by the company, basically the jade withering master looks at the casual giving a little living expenses, and even some not only do not give money directly, but also charge tuition fees in turn, bringing apprentices is equivalent to adding free workers to Jicheng company.

However, people are different, and it is not uncommon for people of Master Zhen Guoliu's level to earn millions of dollars a year.

It's just that he doesn't sign a full-time contract, a bit like a visiting professor at a university, and he gives an annual salary of millions of dollars, and there is a single production fee.

Ji Cheng wants to dig a master to work for himself, and he must be treated better, otherwise master-level people basically have a company contract, why should they work for you?

He smiled and said, "Teacher Zhen, you are too polite, your level is not too much to take this amount of money, if there are any other requirements, you really mention it, I will definitely meet it." ”

"There is one, but it is not a harsh one." Zhen Guoliu pondered for a moment and said: "The requirements for supervising wood carving and jade carving can be relaxed, as long as it is not a big road goods, I can come to supervise it, if it is me who does it myself, the estimated price of the finished wood carving product cannot be less than three million, and if the jade carving is made, the ice species will not be accepted." ”

Zhen Guoliu is not only very superb in jade carving, but also superior in wood carving.

People want to face trees and bark, and the master can't do all the work for you, otherwise you can get some garbage for him to do, and it won't be ashamed to pass it out?

Ji Chengkai had such a generous condition, and naturally hoped that Master Zhen Guoliu could make high-quality products for himself, and he said without hesitation: "I can agree to this now, do you have any other requirements?" ”

"It's gone." Zhen Guoliu is very talkative.

Ji Cheng had a very pleasant conversation with the other party, and almost all the conditions were negotiated after dividing five by two.

After talking, Ji Cheng blinked his eyes and said, "Teacher Zhen, I have a batch of good materials here, do you want to come over and take a look today?" ”

Zhen Guoliu's tone could hear the smell of brightness in his eyes, "Oh? What's the good stuff? ”

Ji Cheng smacked his lips and tempted the other party: "The glass is imperial green, the ice is full of positive yang green, etc., all of them are good materials above the ice species." ”

"Yo, all the glass imperial green materials?" Zhen Guoliu was interested, "Okay, I'll book a ticket now, and I'll come to you later." ”

Hang up.

Later, Ji Cheng contacted Huang Junyi, Cui Lei and other masters, a total of four or five masters, all of whom were at the master level.

Except for Huang Junyi, who is willing to work full-time, the others are basically guest guests.

Ji Cheng also used good materials to tempt these masters to come over today.

At the end, after making the call, Ji Cheng looked at Master Cheng who was still sitting there, "Master Cheng, several masters are coming over today, you hurry up and book a few good hotels, and Master Huang Junyi is full-time, rent him a better house." ”

"Okay boss." Master Cheng stood up and said with a smile: "I'll go to work in person, let my son be responsible for the training later, in addition to liking to brag, his level is actually not lower than mine, well, of course, he may not be familiar with this part of management, and he also needs you to give him some advice." ”

Ji Cheng knew that Master Cheng must be sure that he dared to recommend his son to him like this, that is to say, Master Cheng's son's level was indeed very high, so he nodded, "Okay, I'll go down and talk to him later." ”

"Thank you, boss."

Master Cheng thanked him and went to work.

As soon as Master Cheng left, Ji Cheng began to think about private customization.

His idea is very simple, but very practical, that is, to use the reputation of top materials and several masters to attract customers to take the initiative to come to the door to order, so that not only can you get the money in advance, but also make customers interested, after all, top craftsmen are often available, top materials may not be common, and top materials with top craftsmen for customers to customize the situation is very rare, the top finished jade jewelry in China, most of them are in the hands of major auction houses, people want to design how to design, back to the auction to send, not afraid of not being able to sell.

Naturally, the top-quality materials and the private customization of the top craftsmen is a very attractive thing, and Ji Cheng believes that those Shenhao customers will be interested, and even spend a lot of money.

After contacting the top craftsmen, Ji Cheng decided to implement the next step, that is, to cut out the jade meat first, otherwise the customer would really come to the door, and people would not stare at the wool.

It's just that although Ji Cheng has seen calcite, he hasn't tried it himself, and he will definitely let someone who knows how to come.

"Just now, I should have asked Luo Xiaohua to book a room and rent a house, and my company seems to be able to solve the stone for the time being...... Eh, didn't Master Cheng say that his son was at a very high level? It should be able to solve the stone, I'll ask him about it. ”

Ji Cheng pondered and stood up, and sent a WeChat message to Luo Xiaohua, asking him to continue training new employees, and at the same time, he asked Master Cheng's son which floor he was doing live broadcasts, he knew too little about the company, no problem, who let the company arrange it for two days before Master Cheng did it.

Luo Xiaohua replied to the message quickly.

Only then did Ji Cheng know that the company's live broadcast room was set up on the ninth floor.

……

Take the elevator and go down the floor.

On the ninth floor, most of the office rooms were empty.

As soon as Ji Cheng came, he heard a majestic man's voice in the multimedia room at the end of the corridor.

“…… Baoyou, zoom in a little closer...... Good fellow, come on, side road, one more time...... Side road, side road, hey......"

Maybe the live network is a little delayed, and sometimes the speech has to be repeated several times.

Ji Cheng touched the multimedia room, and through the crack in the door, he could see a thirty-seven or eighteen-year-old man who was showing people ancient coins in front of the camera.

Because I haven't bought all the equipment here, it's almost empty, so the echo is quite loud.

Ji Cheng took a closer look, and the number of viewers on the live broadcast screen was only a pitiful dozen, but fortunately, the ancient coins taken out by this treasure friend seemed to be good goods, which continued to attract audiences, and the number of viewers continued to grow.

This should be Master Cheng's son Cheng Hailin.

Ji Cheng also wanted to know what the level of this person was, so he didn't say anything after approaching, and continued to listen to Cheng Hailin's appraisal of Baoyou.

"Okay."

Although Cheng Hailin saw someone walking in from the live broadcast interface, he was busy at this moment, and he didn't bother to talk to Ji Cheng, and continued to say to Baoyou on the other side of the video: "Turn to the front." ”

Baoyou turned the coin, which was a bit like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, to the obverse.

Cheng Hailin said: "This cloth cost a lot of money, right?" ”

Oh, it's a new coinage.

Ji Cheng took a look at it more.

Baoyou is a man: "It took three digits." ”

Cheng Hailin said: "The three digits are not much, but this treasure friend, I am sorry to tell you, this cloth is really good, but unfortunately this coin is fake, your lens is very clear, I will tell you what the problem is wrong, first of all, from the shape of the point of view, its shoulders are drooping on both shoulders, this file process is not in place, and another one, the face is not sharp, it is a little weak, if you say that you are slightly oblique, it is full of rough grit, This kind of thing is what we often say now, and the very obvious sand turning process is turned out, understand? ”

Baoyou's voice was helpless, "I understand, I don't feel very good when I take it." ”

"Right? It feels rough. Cheng Hailin continued, "The back is also the same, especially if you look at the crotch, the real coin is a little bit small, which is caused by the casting process, but you look very collapsed, and the shoulder position is also very weak, and the embroidery on the entire back of it is not right, so this coin is not right." ”

"Thank you, teacher."

Baoyou quickly got off the microphone and gave a gift of 299 shake coins.

Ji Cheng knew at first glance that Cheng Hailin's level should be quite high, although the goods are very large in the world, but its editions are complex and have many models, and the new dynasty has only been for more than ten years, and few people generally study how deep, so even some masters who play with coins will sometimes accidentally hit the eyes.

Cheng Hailin glanced at Ji Cheng, who was sitting next to him, and he didn't know him, he had only come to the company on the first day, and he hadn't seen the boss, so it was normal not to know him, but he didn't think much about it, thinking that his father had called him to cooperate with the live broadcast, so he continued to say to the live broadcast interface: "Do you still have a treasure friend who wants to connect the microphone to identify the baby?" ”

There are only fifty or sixty viewers in the live broadcast room, and it is all because of the four words "ancient and modern art".

A minute passed, and no one was there.

Two minutes passed, and no one was there.

Five minutes passed, not only did no one even appraise the treasure, but even the number of spectators dropped sharply from fifty or sixty to twenty or thirty.

This is similar to the singing live broadcast room, if the number of people watching the singer is large, in the same way, if no one appreciates the treasure in the live broadcast room, the number of viewers will be small, not to mention that the live broadcast room of ancient and modern art has just opened, and it has not accumulated loyal fans.

Ji Cheng attaches great importance to this live broadcast room, after all, if it is done well, the sales of low-end antiques and jade will not be bad, just take Tiantian Jianbao, the previous thunderous live broadcast room, before the accident, relying on Douyin live broadcast, self-promotion and design of the APP, etc., the highest single-day sales exceeded 20 million, and it is conceivable that the live broadcast has made more money.

It's just that now there is no publicity in their live broadcast room, and there is no fixed audience, so it seems that no matter how you look at it, you can't get up in a day or two.

He wondered if it would be okay at this moment, or try to broadcast it himself and see if he could attract some viewers.

So, Ji Cheng quietly took out a coin from the mysterious space, which was the inventory when the Huaiyin Mountain House was emptied in the Liuli Factory, and the high-end ones were basically sold, and the remaining coins and antiques in the mysterious space were some mid-to-high-end and low-end coins and antiques.

"Hello friends, I am Ji Cheng, the owner of Ancient and Modern Art Company."

Ji Cheng took the initiative to speak.

Cheng Hailin glanced at Ji Cheng in surprise, he didn't expect that the person sitting next to him was actually the boss, and he didn't expect the boss to be so young, but he didn't dare to underestimate Ji Cheng, and suddenly became restrained.

Maybe it was just two days after the autumn auction organized by Ji Cheng, Lu Zhengqing and others ended, and Yu Wei, who defeated Sotheby's, was still there, and as soon as the treasure friends heard that Ji Cheng was the boss of the Ancient and Modern Art Company, they immediately began to swipe the screen one by one.

"it!"

"The bosses of the ancient and modern art companies are here?"

"Mr. Ji, I heard that the total turnover of your company's autumn auction exceeds that of Sotheby's, which is amazing!"

"Mr. Ji, can you tell us about the auction industry?"

There are also some people who are tipping, and the atmosphere is a lot hotter all of a sudden.

Cheng Lin was quite surprised by the audience's eagerness for Ji Cheng, but he didn't understand it, he was broadcasting live, what does the boss mean by jumping in to grab the live broadcast screen at this time?

The next moment he understood!

I saw Ji Cheng smile and said to the live broadcast room: "I'll talk about the inside story of the auction later, I see that everyone seems to be quite interested in coins, so I'll take some ancient coins sold by the company to show you, and let our teacher Cheng explain it to you by the way, if anyone thinks it's good, you can click the link below the live broadcast room to place an order, do you say okay?" ”

"Okay."

"What kind of coins does Mr. Ji want to show us?"

"Is there a big Jane?"

Everyone was very interested.

Ji Cheng didn't say anything, and directly took out a coin and pointed it at the camera.

Before the treasure friends could see it clearly, Cheng Hailin next to him was surprised and said: "Ouch, Tongzhi Heavy Baby Su Dang Ten Decree Money?" ”

At this time, the treasure friends also saw it clearly, and two knowledgeable people also swiped the screen reluctantly!

"! Oh Jane! ”

"Teacher Ji is awesome, he showed us such a good thing as soon as he came up!"

"I remember that this Tongzhi heavy treasure of this quality seems to be worth tens of thousands of dollars, a good thing!"

Friends are interested all of a sudden!

Don't look at this Tongzhi heavy treasure when the market price of ten coins is about fifty or sixty thousand, in fact, people rarely see it in real life, even if the probability of encountering this level of coins in the live broadcast rooms of the major treasure appreciation rooms is very low, well, there are a lot of fakes.

Ji Cheng smiled and said: "This is not a big treasure, I will let Teacher Cheng explain to you the Tongzhi Heavy Treasure when it is ten, and then I will show you some good things when I go back, such as ...... The first rare coin of the Northern Song Dynasty was built by the People's Republic of China! ”

Miscellaneous...... What?

The first rare coin of the Northern Song Dynasty has the treasure of the founding of the country?

This is one of the fifty treasures of Guquan, and it is definitely a treasure in the numismatic world!

Cheng Hailin was shocked all of a sudden!

The friends in the live broadcast room are all stunned!

It is rumored that there are no more than ten coins in existence, so are they really lucky enough to be able to see it in the live broadcast room?

Some people even wondered if Ji Cheng was fooling them.

Even Cheng Hailin didn't believe it.

But just when everyone was questioning, Ji Cheng had already taken out the Jianguo Tongbao that he bought from the martial director.

A copper-colored golden seal, narrow with large characters, black spots and pine flowers and green rust appeared in the audience's field of vision in the live broadcast room, which is the first treasure of the Northern Song Dynasty!
