Chapter 93 Everyone Wants an Invitation
The studio’s first appearance in the industry had to be done beautifully.
Let Gu Shaoyu take care of this matter, and Chen You and the others should speed up the completion of the remaining tasks.
Several tempered glass display cabinets arrived today, and by Friday, they will be displaying more than just antiques.
They also need to demonstrate their replication skills, which does not require a finished product, as there is plenty of time.
And Chenyou has authentic products for reference.
She took out several head ornaments and melted semi-finished gold bars from the safe. The three of them divided the work, with Yu Xiaosu and Cheng Liang handling the basic work and she taking care of the important things.
It's much faster than working alone.
Chen You taught them the skills she had acquired in Da Qi, and she did not keep them to herself. She had already revealed the methods to the museum.
She thought it was no big deal, but Yu Xiaosu and Cheng Liang were excited for a long time and asked her if they could post on WeChat Moments.
"You can post it, just don't take pictures of the interior of the studio."
Her personal collection exhibition hasn't even started yet, so it's not convenient to reveal too much.
"clear!"
Less than ten minutes after Yu Xiaosu sent the message, he received a message from his teacher.
"!!!Can you give me an invitation as well?"
Yu Xiaosu's teacher, Yan Min, saw the photo showing some enlarged details of the authentic work and immediately became interested in the studio's exhibition in a few days.
That is an incense ball. The same handicraft produced in modern times can also be purchased online, but the methods of refining gold and silver and their production processes in ancient times are different from those of modern times.
The mass-produced handicrafts on the market only resemble the ancient ones in appearance but lack the ancient charm.
Only in the restoration and reproduction of antiques will the pursuit of restoration craftsmanship be pursued regardless of cost.
It's in the photo, there's a real one! And it's a real one that's been preserved so well.
Maybe it was repaired recently?
Private collection exhibitions only invite people within the circle, and the number of invitations sent out is generally not very large.
Yan Min asked this question because he knew this. If there is no invitation letter, then just take Professor Li’s and come along!
He has thought it all out.
Yu Xiaosu couldn't make a decision, so she asked Chen You.
"It's an honor for the studio to have Associate Professor Yan here." Chen You asked Gu Shaoyu to add his name.
Originally, she wanted to ask Professor Li to finalize the list. Since she was Professor Li's student and had taken the initiative to propose, of course she had to be given an invitation letter.
At around five in the afternoon, affected by the typhoon in the east, the heavy rain that had been brewing for a day came down.
The wind outside was so strong that the rain was blown into white mist.
Chen You wrapped the damaged carved wood with waterproof cloth and then put it in a waterproof bag.
"The doors and windows have been checked." Cheng Liang ran over holding an umbrella, his back also wet.
"Let's go home quickly while the rain is getting lighter." Gu Shaoyu looked at Chen You, "I'll give them a ride."
"Okay, send a message in the group when we get there." After closing the door and saying something to the doorman Uncle Song, Chen You got into the car holding the waterproof bag.
Due to the bad weather, the busiest section of the Antique Street became quiet and several shops were closed.
Seeing that it was Chen You who came, the boss welcomed him in warmly. After looking at the things, he said that time was a bit tight and there would definitely be traces of the wood repair.
The boss of this shop is descended from a carving master, and he has deep attainments in wood carving and stone carving in ancient buildings.
Chen You knew what was going on, so she added the money directly, "Please take care of this matter. I have already set a time for the exhibition, and it is not easy to change it."
"I'll try my best to handle it for you." The boss promised, mainly because Chen You was really generous and he had also heard about what happened in the morning.
"I don't know if I am qualified to go to Xiyuan to take a look at your private exhibition."
"What you said is true. I was originally going to ask you when you are free to come and sit down. The exhibition in the studio will last for two days."
Chen You showed off part of the list in his phone, saying that it had been written long ago and was not added verbally just to ask someone to fix something.
Seeing Chen You's serious attitude, the old master was naturally happy and added tea for her several times.
After exchanging pleasantries in the store for a while, Chen You said she was going home to cook and left.
In the following week, Chen You spent all his time doing studio work besides receiving and delivering goods.
It only takes one day to confirm the list of guests attending the exhibition. Gu Shaoyu is mainly responsible for making and sending out the invitation letters, but she also needs to understand the situation.
The last batch of goods is this evening.
Half of it was Li Heng’s stuff, and the rest was hers.
Two thousand sets of ordinary thermal clothing and down jackets are definitely not enough to sell. This is just the first batch given to Liu Zheng’s shop.
Chen You had just settled the previous payment for the goods with the foreign trade company, plus the transportation costs, miscellaneous expenses in the middle, and the dividends to partners, and paid out more than 8 million in one go.
As for reasonable accounts, the foreign trade company will handle it.
She still has tens of millions of cash in her card, and the gold and silver bars stored in the cash register system have hardly been redeemed.
Including the gold bars and antiques, she is worth seven or eight small goals!
This does not include the storage space and those things that cannot be sold. The Ru kiln incense burner is worth a small target.
When Wen Zhi came over, Chen You was rubbing velvet strips on a wooden board. He didn't have to worry about being distracted while doing basic work, and he could also watch the video.
"I've already had dinner, and there's fresh food in the fridge, just make it yourself."
Instead of making it again, he used the leftover vegetables from Chen You to cook a bowl of noodles.
Chen You opened his mouth and said, forget it, as long as he doesn’t think the food she cooks has no color, aroma or taste.
"What are you doing?" Wen Zhi looked at the green silk threads on the table and asked curiously, "Making a caterpillar?"
"." Chen You was puzzled. "Although, but, haven't you seen women wearing it in Da Qi? This is a velvet flower!"
"It seems so." Wen Zhi thought for a moment, but he had only seen finished products and had never seen anything like this.
"There's something. Your creek garden was robbed a few days ago. There was a problem with a piece of carved wood that was recovered, but I've asked someone to fix it."
This was also something that happened because of her, so she must explain it clearly to the owner of the house.
Wen Zhi just responded indifferently, "It's okay."
At this moment, the sound of wind chimes rang, and Chen You knew that Liu Zheng and Li Heng were coming. Thinking that they had probably met Wen Zhi in Da Qi, Chen You was not clear about the situation in Da Qi.
In order not to affect her business, she could only push Wen Zhi's back and push him up the stairs despite his reluctance.
"Hurry, go sit on the second floor for a while!"
Wen Zhi went up first and the other person came in right after him.
Hearing the footsteps on the stairs, Li Heng's expression froze for a moment and he couldn't help but look over there.
There was no one on the stairs, but the sound just now
There is an outsider here, Miss Shen, and this person can go upstairs, which should be the room where Miss Shen lives.
Such a special thing made Li Heng feel uneasy. He had never set foot on the second floor. Who on earth had the right to be so casual in Miss Shen's shop?
Li Heng tightened his fingers slightly and wanted to ask, but then he thought that if he rashly asked about Miss Shen's private affairs, it might make her unhappy.
In the end, he still didn't say anything, but his eyes involuntarily looked towards the stairs a few more times.
