The transportation company's truck left first, but Xue Chen's plane didn't take off until two hours in the evening. When his plane landed, the transportation company's truck happened to drive into the capital.

He thought about it and found that these antiques were not suitable to be placed in the store. There was still some time before the opening, and the store still needed to be renovated. It was not very convenient due to the crowds and distractions, so he decided to put the items in Jingjia Liu.

No. 1 accommodation can be easily put down.

Beijing has relatively strict vehicle restrictions, and this is especially true within the Second Ring Road where Jingjia No. 6 is located. However, the transportation company was well prepared and successfully delivered the goods to the Jingjia No. 6 community.

This business was not small. Li Yi, the regional manager in charge of escorting the car, got out of the car and looked at the community where he was, with admiration flashing in his eyes.

Of course, the price of a house here would be something he might not be able to afford in his lifetime of working. He became more and more polite to Xue Chen. When he was in Haicheng, he lived in a unique lakeside villa. His residence in the capital was also so extraordinary.

Whether it is inherited property or earned by oneself, it is not simple, and it is not something that he, a regional manager of a transportation company, can compare with.

Du Taoren was outside and hurried back after hearing Xue Chen's call. He followed the workers of the transportation company to take the black suitcases upstairs one by one.

After all the goods were delivered upstairs, Xue Chen saw off the people from the transportation company. When he returned upstairs, he saw Du Tao curiously surrounding more than thirty black suitcases that filled the room.

"I saw the label above. Are they filled with antiques?" Du Tao asked.

"Well, it will be used when I plan to open a branch."

"Is it all true?"

"Guaranteed replacement if fake."

Xue Chen walked back to the living room and sat down, poured himself a glass of water and drank it all in one gulp.

"Have you not started work yet?" Du Tao asked when he saw that he had been away for more than a week and Du Tao didn't seem to have done much work.

"No, Shiying said to take a rest during this period. It may take a few days before I receive an announcement or record a program. The boss is resting, so of course I can only be idle." Du Tao shrugged and sat down.

aside.

Xue Chen really didn't know much about the entertainment industry, and he didn't pay much attention to it. He asked: "Even if you don't start working, she still has to pay you a salary. By the way, is she the one who settles your salary?

The economic company behind it?"

"It's like this, her team, there are more than twenty people in total, and they are divided into two categories. One category is basically dedicated to serving her, such as Sister Tao and I, and hers and I

I have nothing to do with the agency, so Shiying pays my salary."

"However, most of the team are people from Shiying's agency. When needed, these people will circle around Shiying. When Shiying is resting, these people can't be idle and need to work for other artists.

For services, their wages are of course received from the brokerage company.”

"That's it." Xue Chen understood.

"By the way, let me tell you something. Hey, did you know that Shiying bought the house she is renting now? She has said in the past that she will not buy a house casually. After all, she is one year old.

I spent part of my time filming and recording programs across the country, but this time I bought it, which surprised me." Du Tao glanced at Xue Chen.

"Really? Then I really should say congratulations to her." Xue Chen said.

Early the next morning, Xue Chen came to Haoqizhai. The two waiters and Li Lingchun were there.

The two clerks, one in his mid-twenties and the other in his early thirties, are both from Beijing. They have been working at Haoqizhai for two or three years. When they knew that Haoqi Zhai could not continue to operate and would close down, both of them also

It is very troublesome to have no income and still have to look for a job.

But unexpectedly, someone bought the shop, and even Haoqi Zhai, and the two of them were kept. To their delight, their wages were slightly increased.

Both of them had met Xue Chen. Although it was a bit awkward to call the young and messy Xue Chen boss, they still called him boss politely.

Xue Chen really didn't like this title very much, so he told the two of them: "You don't need to call me boss, just call me Xue Chen. There is no need to be so polite, as long as you can do a good job."

Naturally, the two guys were confident that they would do a good job.

Just when he was about to go up to the second floor, Li Lingchun came down from upstairs and nodded towards Xue Chen.

Xue Chen saw that Li Lingchun was getting better, and it seemed that he had recovered from the depression he had suffered some time ago.

"Uncle Li, let's go upstairs and talk about the opening of the new store." Xue Chen said to Li Lingchun.

"My boss is here, let's go upstairs." Li Lingchun nodded.

Hearing what Li Lingchun called him, Xue Chen didn't know whether to cry or laugh. When Li Lingchun called him boss for the first time, he felt as if he had become a landlord. He hurriedly told Li Lingchun to just call him by his name.

, it’s okay to call me Xiao Xue.

But Li Lingchun just shook his head and said that the store belonged to him, and if he stayed and worked here, he would be the boss. It was right to call him that, and it was easy to call him.

Xue Chen only reluctantly agreed.

As soon as the two of them went upstairs and sat down, the young waiter made tea with great discernment.

"Uncle Li, the name of the store must be changed." Xue Chen hesitated for a moment, looked at Li Lingchun and said.

"I know this." Although Li Lingchun concealed it well, the corners of his eyes still twitched slightly.

Xue Chen could also understand Li Lingchun in his heart. Once the name of the store was changed, it would mean that Haoqizhai had really become a thing of the past and there would be no trace left.

But there is nothing he can do about it. He plans to open a chain store, so the names must be highly consistent. This is common sense. For example, chain fast food restaurants, movie theaters, etc. all over the country have the same names. Once it becomes a large-scale

, the influence of the brand will naturally be there.

Although Joyo Antiques Store is only preparing to open its fourth store now, and it is far from being able to talk about its brand value, he needs to take a longer-term view. He is also confident that one day, Joyo will become a big name among antique stores.

"Uncle Li, why is this store named Haoqizhai?" Xue Chen did not rush to talk about other things, but started chatting.

"I also read books when I was young, and I didn't know that I saw a sentence in that book, which said that scholars should have lasting generosity. Later, I opened this Four Treasures of the Study shop, which was related to reading, so I became arrogant.

The name Zhai." Li Lingchun explained.

"The majesty lasts forever..." Xue Chen nodded.

"Master, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't care too much about my feelings. I have already figured out everything these days. The collapse of Haoqizhai was because of my poor management. I can't blame others. Now I can continue to stay here."

It's already very good here." Li Lingchun said in a calm tone.

"Uncle Li, I'm really happy that you think so." Seeing that Li Lingchun had thought about it, he was also very happy. This is good for everyone.

The two continued to talk about opening a store. In addition to changing the name of the store, there were also some simple decorations and changes inside the store.

"Boss, you said these are easy to handle, but it is not easy for antique shops to establish themselves on this street. You should be very clear about how many shops engaged in the antique industry there are on this street. There are more than a hundred of them in total.

, it doesn’t just have to be well-decorated." Li Lingchun said earnestly.

"What antique shops need most is heritage, that is, good things that can attract customers to the door. Of course, except those tourists, I am talking about those big customers."

"I understand what Uncle Li means. I have opened three branches in Yunzhou. I still understand this. On this trip back, I brought some things over to prepare for the new store."

Xue Chen took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Li Lingchun.

Li Lingchun held the slip in his hand, and after looking at it from top to bottom for a few times, his eyes widened in surprise: "You mean, you have everything recorded on this slip, and you brought it all with you?"

"Not bad." Xue Chen nodded with a smile, "I think this batch of antiques should be able to give the new store a temporary foothold."

"If that's the case, of course it's no problem." Li Lingchun looked at the more than thirty antiques recorded on the paper, and felt surprised. He was actually a little surprised. He didn't expect such a big hand from the young man in front of him.

There are more than 30 pieces of paper written from top to bottom, ranging from the Eastern and Western Han dynasties to the Republic of China. Although he runs a Four Treasures of the Study shop, he is also considered an expert in antiques, so he can naturally tell.

There are no ordinary things recorded here, they are all good things.

He liked many of the good things, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was once again impressed by Xue Chen. Not only was he rich in funds, but he was also able to get so many antiques.

It's an easy thing, but even if it costs a lot of money, it still requires a lot of trouble.

The two talked for an hour. Xue Chen talked about his thoughts, and Li Lingchun also talked about his vision for the new store, and they discussed it together.

Xue Chen felt more and more satisfied with his decision to keep Li Lingchun. Having such an experienced old man here saved him a lot of energy.

For example, if you change the name of a store, you will definitely need to change a plaque, and Li Lingchun knows where to do this, and he also knows which store has the best quality and the most energetic plaques.

This is all experience, money cannot buy it.

In order to prepare for the opening, Xue Chen would come to the shop every day, and Zhuge Yi also came over every two days to take a look and ask if there was anything he needed help with. He was very enthusiastic.

While busy, the plaque of "Haoqizhai" was taken down, and the new plaque, half covered by red cloth, hung high above the shop floor.

The other shops on this street also knew that Haoqizhai had changed its owner. More people looked at it curiously and asked each other. When they heard the name Xue Chen, many people felt that it was familiar...
