The next day, Wu Ke took Josie and Liu Guoju's family to the famous scenic spots in Beijing. For fear of any accident, Chu Chen sent them a female bodyguard.
As for Chu Chen, he went to Wu shuna first, and then took him to his shop. After all, it will be officially opened tomorrow, and some things need to be prepared.
Now the shop's decoration has been completed, antique flavor, let chuchen see repeatedly nodded, feel very satisfied.
When he arrived at the store, Zhou Wenping first introduced the new staff to Chu Chen. Unlike other antique stores, Chu Chen also sold jade jewelry. Therefore, the staff recruited more. In total, there were five staff and one cashier.
Chu Chen wants to thank Lao Wu for his contacts. All the people he recruited are well-known. As long as he has a little training and is familiar with the store rules, he can take up his post.
Chu Chen first handed out the gifts Xiangjiang had brought back to us. Even the shop assistants had them, which made them have a very good first impression of Chu Chen, a young and handsome boss.
Later, the party came to the VIP room upstairs. Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu made a cup of tea for everyone, which made Uncle Wu nodded to himself. They didn't lose their sense of propriety because Chu Chen was easy to talk to them, so they were all interesting people.
Next, Chu Chen first asked about the preparations for the opening. Zhou Wenping took out a piece of paper and reported it to Chu Chen one by one.
Chu Chen learned from it that basically everything to be prepared tomorrow has been prepared. In addition, Zhou Wenping has also sent the invitation to all the people Chu Chen told him before.
See all sorts of basic no problem, he said with a smile: "really hard you!"
Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu waved their hands and said they should.
But Uncle Wu frowned and said, "Xiaochen, there are still less fine and precious things in our store. Would you like to take some of my collections?"
Opening tomorrow, Chu Chen is going to present his collection of treasures to the guests for appreciation, which can also be regarded as a display of his strength. Of course, his collection of the best products can not be sold. Therefore, he always has to prepare some fine products and treasures for the guests to choose from.
However, Chu Chen's inside information is too shallow. Of course, the inside information here is not the best. If he says the best, he will come up with two kinds at will. Others will envy him. The inside information here refers to the boutiques that can be sold in antique shops, or some treasures that Chu Chen did not intend to collect.
You know, Chu Chen wants to build his shop into a boutique antique shop, so he can't just sell ordinary things like a peddler. After all, Chu Chen's time was too short. With the help of Wu Shuhe and Lao Wu, he had already got some excellent works and treasures. But the quantity of these things is still too small.
If the customers who come here tomorrow buy a lot, what should the store do next? This is what Uncle Wu is worried about.
Hearing what Uncle Wu said, Chu Chen quickly waved his hand and said, "no, no, I'll think of a way first. By the way, after I went to Jiangxiang, did I receive any fine products or treasures? "
"Got three!" Uncle Wu said with a smile.
Chuchen was overjoyed and said, "there are so many?"
Uncle Wu nodded with a smile and said, "I'm also lucky. There was a boss who was in debt because his business failed. So he wanted to sell some antiques to pay off the debt. Two of his antiques were small treasures. In addition, Lao Wu also received a fine one."
Chuchen couldn't help laughing and said: "there are already five pieces, including the two we received first. By then, there will still be some at home that can be taken over. That's enough! Let's go and take out those three things for me to enjoy, so that I won't lose face if I ask three questions tomorrow. "
After a smile, Chu Chen and Zhou Wenping walked to the vault.
But Chu Chen just went out, saw a shop assistant hurried upstairs.
"Boss, there is an old man named sun Dayou below. He wants to see you!"
"Oh
Chu Chen stopped. After a moment's thinking, he remembered that sun Dayou was the old man whose granddaughter had leukemia, so he said quickly, "go and ask him to come up."
"All right!" The clerk answered, and then hurried downstairs.
Because sun Dayou was coming, Chu Chen asked Lao Wu to take things out with Zhou Wenping, and he first made a cup of tea for sun Dayou.
After a while, the sun Dayou came in with a cloth bag. Then he gave chuchen a big gift: "boss Chu, thank you so much last time. If it wasn't for you, my granddaughter would be gone!"
Chu Chen quickly stepped forward and helped sun Dayou up: "Mr. Sun, you really killed me. We were just fair trading that day. You don't have to thank me like this!"
Sun Dayou shook his head and said, "I'm not saying that. I'm thanking you for calling me. It's because of the help from the other party that my granddaughter can have an operation as soon as possible. If she's a little late, she'll probably die."It turned out that sun Kwai's granddaughter needed an operation as soon as possible because of acute leukemia. However, their original hospital was limited, although the operation could be done, the success rate was not guaranteed, and the stem cells of a key family did not match his granddaughter, but stem cells were not so easy to find at one time.
Later, the family discussed the transfer, so sun Dayou thought of the phone call Chu Chen gave.
As soon as director Miao heard that it was Chu Chen's relationship, he immediately opened the door for convenience. With his help, he soon found the stem cells, and then operated on them immediately. It is because of the timely treatment that the little girl has the possibility of recovery, otherwise she may have died.
Although it's thanks to director Miao, and sun Dayou's family also expressed their gratitude to him, if it wasn't for Chu Chen, how could the head teacher of a big hospital do his best to help these ordinary people?
So, as soon as his granddaughter gets better, sun Dayou comes to thank Chu Chen. It's a coincidence that Chu Chen just came to the store today. If he came earlier, he would be empty.
After hearing that sun Dayou's granddaughter had recovered well, Chu Chen congratulated him and said with a smile, "it's director Miao's fault. I dare not take credit for it!"
"Don't say that!" Sun Dayou waved his hand and said, "to tell you the truth, if it wasn't for your relationship, director Miao couldn't have done his best. It's all your kindness! I can't give you any good things. I know you like antiques. There are just two kinds of things handed down by your ancestors at home. Do you like them? "
Then he took out two boxes from his pocket and pushed them to Chu Chen.
However, Chu Chen didn't open the box first, but said: "Mr. Sun, I can take the things, but we have to say it first. If it's just a small thing, it's OK for me to take it. But if it's very valuable, I must give you money. Otherwise, you'd better take it back."
"This..." Sun Dayou seemed hesitant. After all, it was his granddaughter's kindness. He was willing to give tens of thousands of things to Chu Chen, but he didn't think it would be worth tens of millions of things, because he didn't think the little things he brought would be so precious.
Uncle Wu also advised: "Mr. old man, it's true that courtesy is light and friendship is heavy. When Xiao Chen called you, he didn't go for money. If your gift is too expensive, it would be too philistine. Don't you think so?"
When sun Da thought it was reasonable, he nodded and said, "well, if it's tens of thousands of things, you can take it directly. After all, my granddaughter's life is not worth this money, right?"
"Yes
Chu Chen didn't show too much affectation, so he answered directly. Then he opened one of the boxes, and his face was shocked. It turned out that there was a bronze painted enamel snuff bottle inside.
Snuff bottle is the product of the integration of Chinese and Western culture. Snuff was introduced into China in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty. Later, snuff box gradually became Oriental and produced snuff bottle. At that time, the nomadic people living there could not smoke with a pipe on horseback. Snuff was just suitable for smoking on the horse and soon became popular.
In order to make the snuff bottle strong and durable, nomadic people use all kinds of jade, metal and bone materials to make snuff bottles. Later, China's snuff bottle has become a very exquisite handicraft.
It combines painting and calligraphy, carving, inlaying, polishing and other techniques. It uses porcelain, copper, ivory, jade, agate, amber and other materials, and uses blue and white, multicolored, carved porcelain, nesting, skillful work, interior painting and other techniques. It has absorbed the advantages of a variety of crafts at home and abroad. It is regarded as a valuable literary play by elegant people and enjoys high reputation at home and abroad.
Snuff and snuff bottle were popular in China, which began in Ming Dynasty and flourished in Qing Dynasty. In particular, kangyongqian III reached the peak. Since the reign of Kangxi, enamel products have been vigorously promoted, and a special "enamel factory" has been set up in the Qing Dynasty's house of internal affairs to make enamel ware, which has greatly improved both in technology and technology, and has become a very important handicraft in the palace crafts.
The snuff bottle in front of us is the product of the house of internal affairs during the reign of Emperor Qianlong.
During the reign of Emperor Qianlong, the communication between China and foreign countries became more and more prosperous, and the subject matter of Western painting in handicrafts increased, especially in the case of bronze body painting enamel figure cigarette pot. This pot is gorgeous in color, with double-sided cloud pattern and Western figure flowers. The figures echo the nature and the color is gorgeous. Craftsmen pay attention to the treatment of the figure's clothing folds, delicate, smooth, luxurious and soft.
This imperial Western lady snuff bottle made of copper embryo enamel is a representative work of the Qianlong period. The quantity is extremely rare. It can be said that it is a favorite in the collection circle and is very precious.
