"Here, take out the whole piece of green material. You can take out the green material. Take it out first."
Lin Weiwan pointed at the ingredients on the table and said.
Master Li and Master He looked at each other and decided to take it since the boss said so.
He Ming watched excitedly, and Master Li's apprentice Zhang 깇 followed closely.
Master Li took Zhang and He Ming to move the materials to the stone calender.
Lin Weiwan stood up and took a large luggage bag and put it on the table.
He took out a bunch of Beijing specialties, big and small, jasmine tea and feng wine, as well as taro cake and tuckahoe cake. There were also two packs of preserved fruits. These were all authentic Beijing delicacies.
"Master He, you and Master Li can try these when you have time. Tell me which one you like. I will bring it to you when I come. If you don't come, I will mail it to you."
Lin Weiwan handed a piece of jujube flower pastry to Mr. He and said, "Let me show you."
Mr. He took the jujube flower cake and put his wrist on the table. "You are a girl, you shouldn't carry such a heavy thing back and forth. The train will be crowded. Just make it back and forth safely."
Mr. He said this worriedly, sniffing the fragrant jujube flower crisp in his hand, which was indeed very fragrant.
Lin Weiwan took out a large pot of jasmine tea, and at this time Wu Dequan also came over with Yang Zhiguo.
"Uncle Wu and Uncle Yang, have some tea and snacks." Lin Weiwan called the two over.
"Last night, I heard from Old Yang that you were going to Yun City?" Wu Dequan asked Lin Weiwan.
"Yes, I'm going to Yun City as soon as I open the store, and then school will start. Oh, by the way, I've installed a phone for my home, and the phone here is also installed. You can call Grandpa Wu in the evening."
Lin Weiwan said as she handed Beijing's phone number to Wu Dequan.
"Tonight... I'll pay for the phone bill." Wood looked at Lin Weiwan with some emotion. Nowadays, even a black and white TV was a rare thing, let alone a phone. He knew how much manpower and resources were needed to pull a phone line.
"Uncle Wu, what are you talking about? Answer the phone. We can communicate about anything we need. One more thing. It would be best if the store hired another employee, preferably someone with skills like you and Uncle Yang. After all... the things in the store are not cheap."
Lin Weiwan asked Wu Dequan that she trusted Wu Dequan and she would also do some further investigation on the people Wu Dequan brought.
Wood was stunned, then thought of the things in the store and nodded. Indeed, there was no one in the store who was skilled. If something really happened, it would be difficult to handle. If something was broken, he would have to pay for it.
"Let me think about it, there should be. I'll select carefully." Wood felt that the candidate must be selected carefully and must not have any trouble at home.
"I have learned a lot of jade knowledge from Master Li and Master He these days. I also understand a lot about them." Wu Dequan is now completely in love with his trade. He studies with the two masters every day.
Lin Weiwan nodded and took out a stack of packages, "These are everyone's packages. In the store, food and lodging are provided. Of course, we will pay for your meals.
There is also the salary of Zhang Xiao and He Ming. You two are apprentices of two masters, but normally, I want you to be sales clerks. You understand carving and jade, so I will pay you salaries.
Everything in the store is arranged by Uncle Wu. Although it's not a big deal, if you encounter someone looking for trouble, I hope everyone will protect their own safety and not rush into it. "
Lin Weiwan's words stunned several people in the room. The boss always asked them to protect the property in the store, but this was the first time they heard him ask them to protect themselves.
"Boss, tell me what to do." Zhang Xiao couldn't help but ask.
"No, just protect yourselves. Things are dead, but people are alive. Minor injuries can be treated, but the grief of losing one's life will be a lifetime regret."
After Lin Weiwan finished speaking, several people were moved and their eyes reddened.
Looking at the salary in the contract, several people didn't know what to say for a moment. The salary was much higher than that of the engraver in other shops.
Lin Weiwan looked at Wu Dequan, "Uncle Wu, I'll take you to see someone tomorrow. If you encounter any problems, you can ask him for help when I'm not here."
Wu Dequan nodded, "Okay, boss, don't worry, I, Wu Dequan, will guarantee to keep the store safe for you."
Lin Weiwan smiled and said, "Try them quickly. If you like any of them, I'll send you some when I get back."
"That's enough. You can't eat such expensive pastries as meals. Just try them." Master He refused. He didn't want Lin Weiwan to waste too much money.
Speaking of eating, Lin Weiwan thought that there were a lot of men in the store, but no woman to cook.
"Let's hire another cook for the store. I'll give her salary to Uncle Wu when I get back. You can ask around and ask if she can come over and cook three meals a day." Lin Weiwan suggested.
Wood and his friends shook their heads. "The store isn't that busy. We're used to it. I can cook, and Zhang and He Ming are both good cooks.
We can take turns doing this, and there is no need to hire more people. First, it would be a waste, and second, they are not familiar with the business. We also have to keep an eye on it to make sure we don’t mess up, after all, the things in this store are not cheap.”
Wood rejected Lin Weiwan's proposal and explained his reasons.
Lin Weiwan nodded after hearing this, "Then I'll listen to Uncle Wu. We'll talk about it when we're too busy."
That night, Lin Weiwan set prices for each piece of jadeite in the store, taking photos of each one and recording them on the website.
"Uncle Wu, I will print out three copies of each of these photos. You keep one copy as a stub, and I keep one copy. You can make a special sales invoice for this photo and paste it on it. Write down the date it was sold and the price so that I can reconcile the account later.
Every year, specific information is left on every jade carving, so that there will be no mistakes when matching the pieces.
The price tags here were custom-made by me in Beijing. Each piece of jade has one attached to it.
I have written the prices on the cover so you don't have to remember the prices of each item.
Zhang Heming, who was in the room, came over to see what Lin Weiwan said. Even the other three came over to listen.
Wood had never expected Lin Weiwan to be so thoughtful, and felt that the young girl in front of him was really good at doing business.
Lin Weiwan told her about the plan of making triplicate bills, which she had thought of in the past two days.
Taking out the account from the luggage bag and placing it on the counter, Lin Weiwan began to count the prices of each piece of jade, take photos, and measure the sizes.
Three days later, the Qianxi sign was hung up, and several people stood at the door, with the flaming red whip held high on a pole.
Lin Weiwan pulled down the red cloth, and Millennium House officially opened for business.
A large group of people gathered at the door, not only colleagues who came to inquire about the news, but also merchants like Mu Junyan.
Lin Weiwan greeted everyone with a smile, "Today is the grand opening of the Millennium Jade Shop. Thank you for your care. Please come in."
Mu Junyan walked into the shop with a smile on his face. He had been here once before, but unfortunately he couldn't knock on the door. Everyone was curious about what treasures were in Boss Lin's shop.
