Remember [New] for a second,! "How are your paintings going?" Chu Qiao asked.
The other wives happily reported their achievements, and almost everyone bought them. Almost all the paintings hanging in the gallery were sold out, and they also made a lot of reservations from Mei Jiuming. . .
That’s how women buy things, buying emotions are contagious, as long as a few girlfriends go shopping together, one person starts to buy, and the others can’t control it and start to frantically buy, buy, buy, and then buy a bunch of useless things. Family.
I was annoyed for an hour, and secretly vowed not to buy things indiscriminately again, but next time I go out with my best friend, I will still be unable to control it, or why women's money is so easy to earn.
The wives are very happy, because they have bought elegant Western paintings, and they will have something to show off for at least a month.
Mei Jiuming was also very happy. All the paintings were sold, he earned tens of thousands of dollars, and he ordered a lot of paintings. The gallery came back to life at once.
Now he is very fortunate to know Chu Qiao, who is the noble person in his life.
As for the little harassment of Mrs. Liang and several other wives, Mei Jiuming didn't take it seriously. Compared with those open and enthusiastic ladies abroad, Mrs. Liang and the others are only pediatrics.
And those wives, after seeing that he didn't respond, stopped pestering him after that. They were very easy to deal with. Mei Jiuming was very emotional, and he was still a compatriot.
Mrs. Liu and the others returned with a full load, and went home by car. Mei Jiuming would send someone to deliver the paintings they bought to their house.
Chu Qiao didn't leave, she still had something to tell Mei Jiuming.
"How much is the gross profit today?"
After Mrs. Liu and the others left, Chu Qiao couldn't help but ask, feeling very excited, she owns half of the gallery.
"I'll do the math, wait a minute."
Mei Jiuming took out the abacus from the drawer, then took out the ledger, and started to settle the account. The beads on the abacus sounded quite decent.
The corner of Chu Qiao's mouth twitched, this is more powerful than some accountants in the village, and she must have practiced.
"The gross profit is 809,600, and there are still 20,200 pre-order paintings. The paintings will be delivered next month."
Mei Jiuming played the abacus very quickly, and reported the total amount in no time. Chu Qiao was expected to be a little surprised.
Chu Qiao also took the abacus and played no slower than Mei Jiuming. She also practiced it.
"Students give 30%, we take 70%... 62,700."
Chu Qiao quickly settled it, thought about it, and deducted Mei Jiuming's painting, "Your painting is not 30,000 yuan, your seven gallery three... This is fifty thousand seven hundred and two."
Mei Jiuming was a little embarrassed, and murmured, "Mine is also calculated at 30%."
There are so many more than students, and he feels sorry for him.
Chu Qiao rolled his eyes and said, "Are you the same as those students? You are at the master level with such a reputation in the world. What kind of fame do those students have? The ghosts don't know them, and giving them three achievements is a conscience price. , I also have to deal with those wives at a cost. It’s not cheap to eat and treat guests to go shopping and play mahjong. Don’t feel wronged for those students, I can give them a platform to make money, and they should be grateful.”
Don't say she's a blood-sucking capitalist, she's just talking business.
She is not a charitable person. Some gallery owners take 90%, but she only takes 70%, which is indeed a very conscientious price.
Of course, for a master of the level of Mei Jiuming, the commissions cannot be the same. Differential treatment must be done.
There will be no healthy competition if there is no discrimination, so how can society progress?
This remark made Mei Jiuming nod his head and felt ashamed.
He originally thought that 70% was too dark, but Chu Qiao was right. She must invest in her contacts with those wives. These are real money exchanges, and you can't just see Chu Qiao taking 70%. , and have to see the money people invest.
However, Chu Qiao only pumped 30% of him, and Mei Jiuming was still very happy, which showed that Chu Qiao affirmed his current achievements and status.
"Our gallery has to find an accountant. In the future, the business will definitely get bigger and bigger. We have to pay taxes honestly, and the accounts must be clear." Chu Qiao remembered an important matter.
Tax evasion is definitely not acceptable. If the old man finds out, he will definitely scold her to death.
Mei Jiuming immediately said, "Chen Wei used to be an accountant."
"She didn't study painting? Why is she still an accountant?"
Chu Qiao was a little surprised. She had seen Chen Wei's gossip reports in her previous life, and she seemed to be Ouyang Lin's student.
Mei Jiuming smiled, "She majored in accounting. She worked as an accountant in a factory for two years, and then resigned to become a model."
Chu Qiao knew right away, and sure enough, the most troublesome relationship between models and painters, especially young and beautiful models, will cause problems when they paint.
"Will she come?"
"I'll tell her, it should be fine." Mei Jiuming said with confidence.
Chu Qiao's mind moved, thinking of the familiarity between Chen Wei and this guy, and couldn't help reminding: "Don't forget the contract between us, the first rule is not to be too intimate with married women, and people decide. Don't fall!"
She always felt that something wasn't quite right between this guy and Chen Wei, but don't come up with the unparalleled love of a teacher, a teacher, and a student.
Mei Jiuming was stunned for a moment and didn't react, but he soon realized it, his face flushed, and he couldn't explain: "Chen Wei and I are from the same town, her hometown is separated from me by a village, and we also have common experiences. So the relationship is better, where do you want to go?"
Chen Wei is now his wife, no matter how hungry he is, he will never have anything to do with his wife.
This Chu Qiao's idea is really hard to describe.
"It's fine. I'm just giving you a vaccination. Then let Chen Wei come to work in the gallery. The salary is five hundred and a month. After all, it's your wife."
Five hundred yuan was three times the market price. Chu Qiao just wanted to have a good relationship with Chen Wei and Ouyang Lin by the way. This was also a big cornucopia.
"Okay~ I'll turn around and tell her." Mei Jiuming was quite satisfied with the salary.
He knew that Chen Wei was short of money now, and Ouyang Lin was only on the surface, and he didn't have much cash in his hands. Before now, Ouyang Lin's finances were in charge of his daughter. After Chen Wei married, Ouyang Lin's daughter did not let go and has been firmly in control. With her father's economic power, Chen Wei's life was sloppy.
Chu Qiao looked at her watch. It was almost four o'clock, so she cut a long story short and asked, "Do you know an expert in etiquette?"
"What etiquette?" Mei Jiuming didn't understand.
"It's just the behavior, dress, etc. of girls from big families in the past. Let's say that I have a friend who is a bit low-born. I want to study hard and become a lady with great bearing. Do you have a teacher in this area?"
When Chu Qiao said this, Mei Jiuming understood, he thought for a while, and said, "I don't know the teacher who specializes in this training, but there is a teacher in our Academy of Fine Arts, who used to be a lady from a big family, who knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. , the temperament is quite extraordinary, if your friend wants to learn, you can ask this old lady to teach, but I don't know if she will agree."
