While others face unemployment upon graduation, Chen Jinyue faced bankruptcy. Waking up one day, she inherited millions in debt. Her younger brother absconded with all the cash, fleeing abroad. To ...
Chapter 66: The New Boss of Yuanqizhai
After seeing Jiang Qian'an off, Chen Jinyue transferred the money to Zhou Yichuan.
Although his batch of military tents are slightly smaller in size and only meet market specifications, all materials used are of the best quality and they have excellent functionality and durability.
The price is certainly not cheap.
Five thousand per hat.
A thousand hats cost five million.
Chen Jinyue was heartbroken when he saw his account balance suddenly shrink by a single digit.
After opening the two boxes of jewelry that Jiang Qianan had sent over and taking a look, he finally felt a little better.
These things were not as good as the imperial gifts he had given before, but they were in large quantities, so he could pick out some inferior ones and put them in the antique shop to sell on the opening day.
When she returned to the antique shop, Mr. Qian was still waiting for her inside.
Seeing her coming, his eyes widened. "Are you done? Take a look at the store layout. If there's anything that needs to be changed, I'll have someone help you straight away!"
Mr. Qian just said it casually, but Chen Jinyue really wanted to arrange it. "Can I ask someone to help me tidy it up now?"
Mr. Qian, “…”
Twenty minutes later, a pretty and clean-looking girl came hurriedly into the store on a small electric scooter.
"Teacher Qian! I've already taken a shower and am lying down watching TV. What's the rush?" Before anyone arrived, the dissatisfied voice came first.
Mr. Qian pretended to blame him, "You watch dramas every day, I wonder what you'll do when you graduate!"
Yu Jianing didn't care. "What else can I do? Washing dishes is better than this!"
Mr. Qian was choked for a moment.
To be honest, it is indeed difficult for graduates of the cultural relics appraisal major to find jobs.
Not everyone is as lucky as Chen Jinyue...
"Is this the new boss of Yuanqizhai?" Yu Jianing looked at Chen Jinyue and put away the resentment on her face.
Chen Jinyue nodded and introduced himself, "Hello, my name is Chen Jinyue."
"You're the one who was online a few days ago..."
Yu Jianing quickly held her hands. "My name is Yu Jianing, and I'm a clerk in Teacher Qian's store. If you need me, I can be your clerk too! I like you very much and I admire you very much!"
Chen Jinyue smiled awkwardly but politely.
Mr. Qian felt embarrassed and glared at her helplessly before turning to explain to Chen Jinyue.
"This is my friend's daughter. She's doing an internship report here. She's also a cultural relic appraisal major. Feel free to call her if you need any errands."
"Yes, yes, just call me anytime, I deserve it!" Who made her follow the crowd and scold her before?
Chen Jinyue, “…”
She was a little overwhelmed by this kind of familiarity, so after getting to know each other, she hurried to bring in the things and set up the store.
From the two large boxes of jewelry, Chen Jinyue only picked out the inferior ones from the large box, and also picked out some miscellaneous inferior items from the small courtyard space.
However, when the box was opened, the professionals were still shocked.
Mr. Qian appreciated each piece silently.
Yu Jianing used her aesthetic expertise to think about how to display these things to make the layout look better.
But after she arranged a box of things on the first floor, she realized something was wrong.
"Miss, are all these things of yours real?" She held a hairpin and looked at it, her face full of disbelief.
Before Chen Jinyue could answer, Mr. Qian suddenly spoke up, "Tell me, what do you think of that hairpin?"
Chen Jinyue paused. It turned out that teachers all over the world are the same.
Take every opportunity to do the test questions.
But Yu Jianing was obviously not a good student.
"I'm a poor student and I don't understand! I only know that if these are all true, they must not be mixed with fake ones. It's a dishonest business!" She was dissatisfied.
Old Qian sighed softly, "According to the rules of the antique industry, once a transaction is reached, neither party can go back on their word..."
As for whether the price is higher or lower than the value, it depends on your ability.
Therefore, many businesses mix real and fake products.
It often traps outsiders or those who lack experience.
"It can be divided into levels. For the real ones, all of them can be placed on the second floor. Then we can adopt a membership system and only members can go to the second floor." Yu Jianing expressed her thoughts.
Mr. Qian shook his head. "You're talking about collectors with ample supplies. They could open an auction house and wouldn't come to the antique street."
Yu Jianing looked at the remaining box of things on the ground, "Really? Not entirely, right?"
Mr. Qian, “…”
Chen Jinyue listened to the conversation between the two and came to a rough guess that this young girl who had just started her internship must have been cheated by someone.
That's why we hate antique dealers who mix real and fake antiques.
In fact, this was her original plan.
But after hearing her words, I found new inspiration.
"The membership system is a good idea. Could you please give me a more specific plan?" She looked at Yu Jianing. "Once it's adopted, I'll reward you handsomely."
Yu Jianing looks down on those businesses that cheat outsiders and has always wanted to change this trend, but has no chance.
Hearing Chen Jinyue agree with her, her face flushed with excitement. "Do you think my idea is good? Really? Will you adopt it when you open your business?"
Chen Jinyue nodded. "Of course I'll adopt it if it's suitable, but it needs to be done as soon as possible. I'm about to open my business."
Yu Jianing, "Go back and work overtime tonight! I'll give it to you tomorrow!"
Chen Jinyue, "Okay."
Mr. Qian always felt that Yu Jianing was not adaptable to the industry environment and was very whimsical.
But when Chen Jinyue suddenly joined her fantasy, Mr. Qian felt that change seemed possible.
Looking at this pile of genuine antiques, each priced at at least five figures, all of which were moved to the second floor for complete modification, he spoke to Chen Jinyue with a smile.
"Girl, you said you would bring me something good?"
"That's all! Do you like any of them? You can pick first!"
“…”
Old Qian's smile disappeared, and his eyes became increasingly resentful as he looked at Chen Jinyue.
These things were indeed good, but he had seen better ones and his appetite had become picky. Now she was using these to fool him?
Chen Jinyue looked at his expression and said with a smile, "Just kidding, it's in the car. I'll take it to your store."
"You little girl! How come you're imitating Jia Ning and being so disrespectful! Come on, let's go over there!"
“???”
Yu Jianing was full of questions.
How come she was suddenly shot?
…
Yu Jianing originally wanted to go back quickly to refine her idea, but even if she was frustrated again, she was a professional in antique appraisal and was still curious about good things.
She followed Chen Jinyue and the others to Qian Lao's Qianpu. The moment she saw the things being taken out, she suddenly felt fortunate that she did not turn back halfway.
They were a pair of gourd purses with exquisite embroidery.
It is a combination of floral patterns and auspicious characters, with an elegant, simple and interesting style.
The embroidery needlework is neat and the embroidery thread is firm. It has a regular wavy skeleton and forms geometric dividing lines.
"Geometric brocade with auspicious pattern! My God! It is preserved so well! How did they do it?!" Mr. Qian almost cried for joy.
While marveling at it, he looked at it over and over again with the identification tools.
Finally, I went to the machine again.
Only then did we confirm that there really were textiles and embroidery items that were so well preserved.
He suddenly thought of Chen Jinyue's last visit to the Antique Street and looked up at her. "How many of these do you have? Have you ever sold them before?"
