Chapter 198 Xu's Jewelry
Old Wu smiled at Zhou Xuan and said, "It's time to say it, haha, do you want to keep the price down?"
Zhou Xuan shook his head and said, "Forget it, but I think this person may be just gambling and gambling, pitiful!"
Several people got up and came to the outside store. When the middle-aged man saw Lao Wu coming out, he immediately put the inkstone in his hand on the table and said, "Forget it, five hundred is five hundred!"
Old Wu smiled and picked up the inkstone and checked it carefully. The man said angrily: "I asked you to see it just now, why do you have to spend time checking it? Can I change it?"
Old Wu smiled and said, "Sir, this is our rule. No matter how carefully we check it, as long as the objects are taken away and re-entered, we must carefully check it as new objects. This is the industry rule and is also responsible for our own owners. If it is replaced, would we buy it if we don't check it? This principle cannot be explained anywhere!"
The middle-aged man also felt reasonable and said in a daze: "Forget it, check it quickly. If you have finished it, give it money!"
Lao Wu checked for a while and after verifying that it was the inkstone I had just seen, he handed it over to Achang, and asked Li Li to issue a receipt certificate and then paid him five hundred yuan.
It was not until the middle-aged man got the money that he put five hundred yuan in his bag and went there in disappointment. He was obviously not satisfied with the price of the inkstone, but after he went to several companies, it was indeed as Lao Wu said that they still gave the highest amount here, and the other companies did not even pay 300 yuan.
As soon as the man left, Zhang Jian smiled and said, "The big boss of our store is back. Let's do this. Get off work an hour early today. Everyone goes out to have a hard meal. The big boss treats to comfort the employees!"
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, pick a delicious place, but it's still early now. Boss, let's go to the calcite factory in the suburbs to take a look!"
Lao Wu stayed to look at the store, and Zhou Cangsong also wanted to go over and take a look. The store hired four new employees, plus the first two, and there were a total of six people, and the staff were enough.
Only then did Li Li free up her time and said gratefully to Zhou Xuan: "Brother Zhou!"
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Xiao Li, are you still used to working?"
"It's pretty good. Manager Zhang, Uncle Zhou, and Uncle Wu are all very good to me. I have also gotten into the work and I'm very happy to do it!" Li Li said gratefully.
"That's good!" Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "Is your dad okay? If there is a need at home, you can tell me and Manager Zhang that you can pay the salary advance, don't be polite anyway!"
Li Li nodded, her eyes were bright, and she no longer had the sad look she used to be. "My dad is completely fine. No matter what, that is the good luck Brother Zhou brought to our family. Thank you!"
Zhou Xuan waved his hand, smiled, and then asked intentionally or unintentionally: "How is Zhou Tao doing recently?"
Li Li also replied casually: "He is pretty good too. He comes back to have lunch every day. Help, just..." After saying a few words, he suddenly raised his head and found that Zhou Xuan's eyes were a little strange. After thinking about it, his face turned red and he stopped talking.
Zhou Xuan smiled and thought to himself that Li Li had this expression, and there was a chance for her younger brother's affairs. He smiled and said, "Boss Zhang, let's go, let's do it like this, Xiaoli also goes and see it. Anyway, there is nothing else. Dad and Xiaoli are taking Zhang's car. I only have one seat in the car. Haha, let's go!"
Zhou Xuan changed the name of Li Li from "Xiao Li" to "Xiao Li", and changed unknowingly. Li Li blushed and said nothing else. Zhou Xuan asked her to follow her to the calcification factory, but she did not object. She silently packed up the account book and locked it, and then followed her out.
Zhang Jian had spent more than 100,000 yuan to drive his wife, driving the Hummer off-road, and carrying Li Li and Zhou Cangsong behind the car. Fu Ying pulled Zhou Xuan and followed Zhang Jian in the car. However, it was really not very good to drive the Bugatti Veyron. When he arrived outside the suburbs, it was better to have less traffic, but neither could support the half-speed of this top sports car. This was a speeding sports car with a speed of more than 400 kilometers per hour.
Zhou Xuan came to the calcite factory once, and last time he decomposed more than a dozen emeralds, but this time it was different. The few tons of wool he brought back were filled with things. With such a large amount of goods, Zhou Xuan was thinking for a while, should he find some jewelers to hold a solo exhibition?
The security guard guarding the gate of the calcite factory was a security guard who Zhou Xuan didn't know, but when he saw Zhang Jian's car, he quickly ran out of the guard booth at the gate to open the door. Zhang Jian and Fu Ying each drove the car into the square inside and parked it, and got out of the car. The security guard couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Fu Ying's lise.
Zhang Jian waved his hand and said, "Look at the door!"
These security guards are all acquaintances invited by Master Chen. Although they disagree with these tons of wool stones, they are still very responsible for giving them money to see. After all, the salary is not low and they don’t delay money. How can they not do their best?
The wool materials were all locked in a large factory. For safety, Zhou Tao simply set up a bed in the factory and was directly guarding the scene. He was divided into three shifts. The people were not too tired. Every day, he asked to work on night shifts, but during the day he had to run back to the store to have a meal with Li Li. Although it was fast food and the money was not expensive, he was very happy and didn't feel tired when running around.
After Li Li's time, she still realized that Zhou Tao was interested in her, but Zhou Tao's face was very thin. Although she liked it, she was willing to get tired of being together every day, but she didn't dare to say it. Of course, Li Li wouldn't say anything.
During the day, Zhou Ying and Master Chen were guarding the factory. There was also a security guard at the gate. Zhou Ying was watching TV in the office opposite the factory. The door was facing the factory door. While watching TV, she looked here. The factory door was locked during the day, which was quite safe.
As soon as Zhou Xuan and Zhang Jian arrived, Zhou Ying saw it, stunned, a little disbelief, but she still ran out happily and called out: "Brother!" Then she came to Fu Ying and shouted: "Sister-in-law!"
My brother got sick for his sister-in-law. It can be seen that he has a deep affection for his sister-in-law. Now that my brother has brought his sister-in-law back, it is her sister-in-law.
Zhou Ying still likes Fu Ying very much in her heart. This sister-in-law is obviously from a wealthy family, but she doesn’t have the spoiled temper at all.
Zhou Cangsong laughed and scolded: "You girl, no big or small!"
Master Chen also came over quickly. When he heard the voice, Zhou Tao quickly got up and came out. When he saw that it was his brother and Li Li, he was stunned and stupid, and he didn't even know where to put his hands and feet.
Zhou Ying didn't know anything about her second brother Zhou Tao, and Zhou Tao never dared to say it out.
Zhou Xuan knew his younger brother's shyness and waved his hand and said, "Xiaoying, take Sister Li Li to the factory for a walk!"
Zhou Ying responded, then handed Zhou Xuan the key locked the wool factory door, and then took Li Li to the other side of the factory.
Fu Ying secretly came to Zhou Xuan's ear and asked, "Is this Li Li the younger brother's girlfriend?"
Zhou Xuan smiled, pointed a little on her forehead, and said, "So smart, my brother is too shy. Go and go with your sister, accompany Li Li, and secretly explore her tone!"
Fu Ying chuckled and chased Zhou Ying, and went around the huge factory with Li Li to visit. Zhou Tao looked at Zhou Xuan, then looked at the backs of Li Li and the others, and finally followed him in a flash.
Zhou Xuan opened the lock and the factory was filled with wool materials he transported from Yunnan. All of them were green and not exposed. From the outside, it really didn't attract attention, and even the experienced gambling stones couldn't attract attention, because the color and texture of the wool materials were really not good.
Zhou Xuanyunqiuoji ice gas was measured and there were jade in the wool materials. It was the wool materials he chose in Yunnan, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Zhou Xuan was still watching, and then he heard Zhao Lao Er’s voice shouting: “Zhou Xuan, you are back, I miss me so much!”
Before the person arrived, Zhao Laoer, who had a typical style, entered the factory, gave Zhou Xuan a bear hug.
In recent days, Zhao Laoer has been extremely excited in front of Zhang Jian. He has more than 20 million in his pocket, so how can he not be excited?
Zhang Jian also sighed and really felt strange. Now, as long as he follows Zhou Xuan, he can get lucky and make a fortune no matter where he goes, he is like Zhou Xuan is their lucky star.
Last time I came here, Zhou Xuan had actually seen the general appearance of this factory. It was very wide and had an area of more than 3,000 square meters. The preliminary needs were enough.
Seeing Zhou Xuan walking out of the factory again, Zhang Jian said, "This factory is temporarily rented, very cheap, only 8,000 yuan a month. Because the owner of the property rights is useless, it was purchased by Xu Jewelry five years ago and used to calcify stones after gambling. However, two years ago, after Xu Jewelry went downhill, the factory was basically empty and wanted to sell it. However, the price was too low and Xu couldn't accept it, so he stayed here idle. Because it was far away from the city and was remote, there was no one who wanted to rent it out. This time, when I told Master Chen, he contacted the landlord, and it was done. We rented it out. Although it was cheap, it was better than empty!"
Zhou Xuan felt aroused in his heart and asked Master Chen: "Master Chen, if your boss said how much would it cost to sell this factory?"
"This..." Master Chen couldn't figure it out either, frowned and said, "I can't figure it out either. I'll call the factory manager here. He is now working as a manager in a store in Xu's Jewelry in the city. If we have any questions, we will contact him, but..."
Master Chen hesitated for a moment before asking: "Mr. Zhou, do you really want it?"
"As long as the price is right, I really want it!" Zhou Xuan replied with a smile.
After thinking about it, Zhou Xuan said again: "Master Chen, before, I wanted to ask you for another thing. I wonder if you are interested?"
"You said, I don't know what it is!" Master Chen's impression of Zhou Xuan was still very good. Although he was young, he was not as impetuous as ordinary young people. He was so steadily and steadily that he could trust.
"Master Chen, to be honest, I want to buy this factory, which is specially designed for calcite and process jade crafts, so I want to invite Master Chen to come to my factory to be the foreman of the material dissolving master. You can invite your former friend or the calcite master here before. The salary is, I want..."
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "I think it is definitely not lower than my peers' level and will be given a commission based on performance. What do you think?"
Master Chen was a little hesitant. What Zhou Xuan said sounded good, but the profession of calcite was not as prosperous as it was in Tengchong and Ruili, Yunnan. It was impossible to be as prosperous as there elsewhere. So no matter how good Zhou Xuan said it, he dared not believe it very much. Anyone who gamblings with stones lost nine out of ten. Xu is a typical example. A prosperous chain jewelry store was defeated because of the owner Xu Juncheng's gambling with stones.
Like Zhou Xuan in front of him, although he looks calm, if he is obsessed with gambling stones, he will lose cleanly even if he has a wealth of money. What's the use of the conditions he gives? No matter how good the factory is, it's zero.
Seeing Master Chen pondering, Zhou Xuan understood and smiled faintly: "Master Chen, I think this is the case. We can sign a contract first, how much is the basic salary, and then add the performance commission. We will pay the salary on the specified date every month. If we arrears, we will deal with it according to the prescribed conditions we have negotiated. Is this good?"
Before Master Chen answered, Zhou Xuan added: "Master Chen, I will give you 6,000 yuan for your basic salary, and then add a commission. As long as you are willing, you can time it from now on. Regardless of whether this factory is officially started or not, I will pay you a salary on time. Your apprentice will add a commission of 2,000 yuan for your basic salary. Is it OK?"
When Master Chen heard the basic salary conditions that Zhou Xuan said, he was very moved. He has been here for so long and has received six or seven hundred yuan a month. He has not received it for half a year recently. If Zhou Xuan can really make a living, it will undoubtedly be another good opportunity. Because of the match between jobs, it is of course much better than finding other jobs when he is unemployed.
"Okay, then I'll do it for two months first!" Master Chen gritted his teeth and responded.
Zhou Xuan smiled and took out a stack of banknotes from him. Fortunately, he brought 10,000 yuan of cash when he went out, counted 3,000 yuan and put it back into his pocket, and then handed the remaining 7,000 yuan to Master Chen, saying, "Master Chen, this is 7,000 yuan. This is the basic salary of your two disciples this month. The commission will be calculated until the end of the month. I will pay you the salary in advance. You can discuss it again. I am willing to do it. I welcome it. If you don't want to, we can agree to break up. Can you do it?"
Master Chen was stunned. He was really dazed with the money in his hand. After working for so many years, no boss gave the money first without working. He could do it with Zhou Xuan's straightforward personality. Anyway, he didn't have much income now. Zhou Xuan offered such good conditions and paid such a high basic salary in advance. Even if it was not good at that time, he would not lose money if he didn't do it. He got all his salary. What's the loss?
"Okay, okay, Zhou...Boss Zhou, I'll call immediately!" Master Chen no longer hesitated and agreed to the work. He quickly took out his cell phone to call his former manager. Now that he has regarded himself as Zhou Xuan's person in his heart, he will start doing things for him.
Master Chen contacted the manager, said a few words and hung up the machine, and then said to Zhou Xuanxi: "Boss Zhou, our former manager immediately said that there was no problem. The boss of this factory wanted to sell it for a long time, but he didn't negotiate the right price, so he put it down. He said that the boss couldn't contact him for a while, so he booked a time first and negotiated at 6 o'clock in the evening at the meeting at the 208th position of Xicheng Hotel. He promised to arrive with Boss Xu." Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll record it. The 208th position of Xicheng Hotel, at 6 o'clock, I'll arrive on time!"
After saying that, Zhou Xuan said to Master Chen again: "Master Chen, please contact your old friends and craftsmen who carved jade pieces. It would be better if you can find it!"
After thinking about it, Zhou Xuan said again: "Master Chen, I'll give you a foundation. There are at least five calculators and carving craftsmen, especially carving masters. If you need very good skills, you can interview me if you have a salary!"
Master Chen nodded. He was still somewhat sure about Master Calcite. After working for so many years, most of his old friends in the past did not have suitable jobs. In big cities, there is no guarantee of making calcite, because no one can guarantee that gambles 100 gambling. Businessmen will not be able to continue their business if they lose a lot of gambling. So his old friends are easy to get back, as long as the wages are guaranteed to be paid on time.
However, it is difficult to find carving masters. Masters of stone learning are not popular because it is difficult to bet on stones, but carving masters are different. Now, whether in the domestic or international markets, the trend of jewelry is getting stronger and stronger, and sales are every new high. In jewelry stores, the price of high-end jade jewelry is to look at the texture and quality of the jade, and the craftsmanship of the carving master. Only by combining the two can the value of a good piece of jade be fully displayed.
Zhou Xuan also understood that which jeweler does not have his own carving craftsmanship now, and is very good at digging. It would be difficult to find this hole from Master Chen. As long as Master Chen sets up the calcite factory, it would be good. As long as he has good benefits and good business, his own wool materials are treasured piece by piece. Who else jeweler has this energy?
As the saying goes, as long as there is a sycamore tree, even if it cannot attract a golden phoenix?
Just take it slowly, and the foundation and the road are slowly fighting and coming out. You won’t be fat in one bite.
After discussing with Master Chen, Master Chen called his old friend to contact him.
Seeing that Master Chen was busy, Zhou Xuan did not disturb him. He smiled and waved his hand and walked out of the wool factory.
Zhao Laoer followed out and shouted, "Zhou Xuan, I've been bored here for a few days. I want to go play with you!"
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, you can take the boss's car back first and wait for me at home. Yingying and I will do something, and we will come back to find you after we finish it!"
When he went back, Zhang Jian drove Zhao Laoer, Li Li, Zhou Cangsong and Zhou Tao. Zhou Ying continued to check the factory during the day, and at night, Master Chen’s uncle and nephew and the two security guards were guarded.
Zhou Xuan still took the car driven by Fu Ying. After arriving in the city, Zhang Jian drove back to the antique shop. Zhou Xuan asked Fu Ying to drive to a nearby supermarket and prepared to buy two mobile phones. It was really inconvenient to not have this thing.
