Blue Star.
Jingzhou City.
In front of the Shangri-La Hotel.
Looking at the luxurious decoration in the hall, Fu Song felt a little hesitant.
He said to Fu Ziming, "Uncle San, why don't we go back?"
Fu Ziming looked at his nephew and felt a little disappointed: "Since you are here, why do you want to go back?
Besides, isn’t it just becoming a disciple?
Professor Ran is a leading figure in our antiques industry. How can you expect to suffer any loss if you have him as your teacher?"
"But..." Fu Song looked embarrassed, "What era is this? I still want to become your disciple..."
"No matter what era it is, your father became a disciple and learned a lot of skills before opening Yupanzhai and building up the family business we have today.
If he hadn't left so suddenly, Yupanzhai wouldn't have been bullied everywhere..."
Third uncle Fu Ziming burst into tears as he spoke, but Fu Song lowered his head in embarrassment.
Yes, three days ago, Fu Song traveled through time.
This is a parallel space, where technological development is somewhat similar to 2012 in the previous life, but not exactly the same.
Fu Song’s current identity is the small boss of “Yupanzhai”.
"Yupanzhai" was founded by Fu Song's father Fu Zicong and his third uncle Fu Ziming.
Of course, although they are together, the operation of the store is entirely the responsibility of Fu Zicong alone.
Fu Ziming is good at crafts, such as jewelry making, ornament carving, and simple restoration of antiques.
As the saying goes, when brothers are united, they can cut through metal.
With the joint efforts of the two, the business of "Yupanzhai" was booming and soon they had a lot of loyal customers.
Unfortunately, fortune and misfortune can change at any time.
Half a year ago, Fu Zicong and his wife died of carbon monoxide poisoning at home.
Originally, after this incident, "Yupanzhai" should have been taken over by Fu Ziming, who was more familiar with the store.
Unexpectedly, he ignored the opposition and pushed his eldest brother's only son, Fu Song, to the position.
He chose to continue being a craftsman.
Unfortunately, unlike the versatile Fu Zicong, the previous Fu Song was just an uneducated and naive second-generation man.
Buying fakes and selling genuine goods, buying high and selling low...
In short, after a series of operations that left everyone dumbfounded.
Fu Ziming worked hard for eight years, but not only did he squander all his savings, but the reputation of Yupanzhai also plummeted.
The uncle and nephew soon had no means to make ends meet.
In desperation, Fu Ziming thought of a solution: become a disciple!
I don't know where he heard that Professor Ran Wennian from the History Department of Yenching University was coming to Jingzhou to meet friends, so he dragged Fu Song over with him.
The reason is very simple:
When he was young, Fu Ziming's temperament was similar to Fu Song's. Later, by chance, he met a famous figure in the antique world as his teacher, and he was reborn.
Of course, this matter might not have been a big deal for Fu Song before, after all, it was considered as "the son following in his father's footsteps."
The key point is that Fu Song now has traveled through time!
As a modern person who has received higher education, Fu Song still finds it difficult to accept this ancient learning model.
Because he heard that when becoming a disciple, besides kneeling down and kowtow, one must obey the master in everything he does.
For example, if the master asks him to go to the toilet at night, he must not go during the day.
But after thinking for a moment, Fu Song said, "How about... go in and take a look?"
After a few days of getting to know each other, he knew that Fu Ziming was an honest man with a simple mind who devoted himself to his craft, and he was also very good to him.
If the other party had not been forced into a corner, it would not have been possible for them to come up with such a bad idea.
Although Fu Song was still very resistant, he didn't want to disappoint Fu Ziming.
At worst, you can just go in and hang out there and go through the motions!
"Gentlemen, may I help you?" The receptionist at Shangri-La was very polite.
Fu Ziming hurriedly said, "Hello young lady, we are here to see Professor Ran Wennian."
The receptionist was taken aback: "Are you also looking for Professor Ran?"
Fu Ziming asked curiously, "Why, is there anyone else looking for him?"
The lady at the front desk nodded and said, "Before you, two people had come to see Professor Ran.
They are waiting in the reception room now. Why don’t you go and wait there too?
Professor Ran went out and hasn't come back yet."
"Oh, that's good. Thank you."
"You are welcome."
The two followed the young lady into the reception room, and sure enough, there were two men sitting inside.
One of them was about the same age as Fu Song, tall and strong.
The other one was nearly sixty years old, with triangular eyes, a red nose, and a face full of cunning and slyness.
When Fu Ziming saw the sixty-year-old man, his expression changed instantly.
His face darkened: "Wang, why is it you?"
Fu Song was also a little surprised.
The old man is called Wang Fugui, and he is the owner of an "antique jewelry store".
Like "Yupanzhai", "Antique Jewelry Shop" sells jewelry, antiques and other collections.
The two stores are only separated by a street and are the biggest competitors.
Every time Fatty Wang was mentioned, even the sincere and honest Fu Ziming felt so angry that his teeth itched.
Because the two parties are more than just competitors.
"Yupanzhai" opened eight years ago and became quite famous in Jingzhou in just three months.
Seeing that "Yupanzhai" was doing good business, Wang Fugui immediately opened an "Antique Jewelry Store" opposite.
It would be fine if they opened the same antique shop, but the key point is that Wang Fugui’s “antique jewelry store” completely copied the business model of “Yupanzhai”.
If you have a discount on jade bracelets today, I will also have a discount. If you have a promotion on walnuts tomorrow, I will also have a promotion.
And it’s always five dollars cheaper than yours!
Every now and then, he would spread some negative rumors about "Yu Pan Zhai" to create trouble, which made the Fu brothers very angry...
