Fortunately, Hu Yuan's luck wasn't too bad. Although he didn't find any outstanding talents in a short period of time, he still managed to find a few decent ones.
Hu Yuan assigned each of the three men and one woman the position of team leader, and their salaries were based on commission.
Next, Hu Yuan handed over most of the recruitment work to these four people. Unless it was an important position, Hu Yuan generally didn't need to personally conduct the interviews.
With less pressure, Hu Yuan focused his energy on building the internet cafe again.
Currently, there are no manufacturers in China that mass-produce high-configuration computers, nor can they produce computers with very high configurations.
Therefore, Hu Yuan does not plan to equip these internet cafes with computers immediately, meaning he does not plan to open them for business for the time being.
As the number of members at Wanlong Company grew, Hu Yuan also assembled a team that could accompany him on business trips.
Hu Yuan will train these people well, and once they have enough experience, each of them will have their own team to work for Hu Yuan's company.
Seeing Hu Yuan recruiting talent so aggressively and doing all sorts of groundbreaking things, most of the people watching Hu Yuan were overwhelmed.
Because they simply couldn't fathom Hu Yuan's thoughts.
Of course, this kind of operation also puts pressure on the money in Hu Yuan's hands.
Even with countless sources of funding, Hu Yuan still felt the difficulties.
If things continue like this, Hu Yuan's cash flow will probably dry up very soon.
Because he needs to continue buying houses in various provinces and cities and arranging for workers to renovate them, the expenses are simply too great.
To alleviate this pressure, Hu Yuan started borrowing money and wandered around various antique markets, hoping to try his luck.
Naturally, we can no longer ask Sixth Master for a loan; we need to find another way.
On the one hand, it's because Sixth Master has been buying and renovating houses with Hu Yuan, and he's probably about to run into financial difficulties.
On the other hand, even if Sixth Master has money in hand now, he probably wouldn't be willing to lend money to Hu Yuan anymore.
He gritted his teeth and followed Hu Yuan to buy a house, renovate it, and prepare to replicate all of Hu Yuan's tricks for opening an internet cafe. But now Hu Yuan has suddenly turned around and opened a new company.
None of the internet cafes were open, so Sixth Master could only wait.
Anyone would be unhappy in this situation.
Furthermore, from Sixth Master's perspective, he might even think that Hu Yuan was using this tactic against him, waiting for him to lose patience before continuing with his own affairs.
Hu Yuan naturally wouldn't run into Sixth Master's gun.
However, to Hu Yuan's surprise, when he appeared on the antique street in Baiyun City for the third time, he ran into an acquaintance.
Cheng-ge, the adopted son of Sixth Master.
“Brother, I can tell you’re a connoisseur, that’s why I’m willing to give you this. If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t sell it even for a lot of money. This is a family heirloom, it’s worth more than a million, let alone 100,000.”
Hu Yuan walked to the side and heard the stall owner using the simplest and most common tricks to fool this guy.
Moreover, this guy seemed to be watching with great interest, probably because he was skeptical of what the boss said, but also really liked the string of Buddhist beads in his hand.
"It's still a bit too expensive. Sell it to me for 50,000."
Brother Cheng frowned slightly. As expected, he still bargained. This was because he heard from his underlings that when bargaining in the antique street, you have to bargain down by at least half, otherwise people will see that you are an amateur. Otherwise, he might have just quoted 80,000.
"Brother, your price is really unfair. My family heirloom is only worth 50,000 yuan? Not to mention that it is an old object passed down from the Tang Dynasty, just look at the material. It is top-grade sandalwood. The sandalwood alone is worth more than 100,000 yuan."
The boss's eyes were filled with ecstatic joy, but he continued to spout nonsense. Cheng Ge didn't look up, so he didn't notice.
"good…"
"Wait a minute, I like this thing too, let me take a look."
Hu Yuan had always wanted to win this guy over, and it seemed like today was the perfect opportunity.
Although this guy wouldn't care about 100,000 yuan, who would be willing to be scammed by someone for nothing?
“No, I bought these prayer beads for my brother because we are destined to be together. If it were you, I wouldn’t sell them to you no matter how much you offered.”
The boss and Cheng Ge both turned to look at Hu Yuan. These words naturally came from the terrified boss.
The boss naturally didn't want Hu Yuan to ruin such a good business.
"Mr. Hu, I know you are richer than me, but there's no need for you to snatch this from me."
Cheng Ge didn't have a good impression of Hu Yuan, so his first reaction was that Hu Yuan was deliberately targeting him.
"Even if I were rich, I wouldn't spend 100,000 to buy a piece of junk. So, Brother Cheng is much more generous than me."
Hu Yuan bluntly pointed out that the Buddhist prayer beads were worthless.
"You brat, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Be careful not to bite off more than you can chew."
The boss was determined not to let Hu Yuan continue talking, otherwise this golden opportunity would fly away.
"Does Mr. Hu also know how to appraise antiques?"
Although Cheng Ge was still wary of Hu Yuan, his tone softened somewhat because he could tell that Hu Yuan didn't seem to really want to steal the Buddhist beads.
"I only know a little bit about it, but the quality of this fake Buddhist prayer beads is really too low. If you don't believe me, take a closer look."
Hu Yuan didn't even directly point out the flaws in the fake Buddhist beads, but instead let Cheng Ge investigate on his own.
Of course, this is indeed because even people who don't understand antique appraisal can see the problems.
"How dare you lie to me! I'll smash up your lousy business!"
Sure enough, after looking at it carefully several times, Brother Cheng suddenly went berserk, smashed the Buddhist beads in his hand on the ground, and tried to smash all of the boss's things.
The boss was so startled that he immediately pulled out his flip phone, ready to call for help.
You can tell from the phone that this boss's business hasn't been doing very well lately.
Since semi-smartphones have been on the market for almost two months and the price isn't too high, most middle-class people already own one.
"Brother Cheng, this kind of place is the least concerned with integrity and morality, why bother arguing with them?"
Hu Yuan grabbed Cheng Ge and smiled as he tried to persuade him.
As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. No matter how powerful this guy is, if he really messes up someone else's business on their turf, he probably won't have a good ending.
Moreover, Hu Yuan ruined this boss's business, and he will definitely face retaliation.
Hu Yuan is counting on Cheng Ge to protect him, so how can we let him waste his energy now?
"I wonder if Mr. Hu really knows how to appraise antiques. If he does, then I have a favor to ask."
