Chapter 341 Visitors
Zhao Dongchuan sat cross-legged on the bed.
The mind goes deep into the sea of consciousness.
A faint light flickered in the sea of consciousness.
The upgrade progress bar on the system interface has only reached 10%...
The world inside the Chaos Pearl has gradually become clear.
Zhao Dongchuan could already see the distinction between "heaven and earth" appearing in space.
Sandy soil began to appear beneath the space... but it was still only a tiny bit, very scarce.
Apart from that, there was only gray chaos all around.
"This progress seems to be faster than the system..."
Zhao Dongchuan muttered to himself.
It has been more than a month since he returned from the world of "Love in the Courtyard".
During this period, Zhao Dongchuan usually looked after the store, watched TV series, or went to the supermarket to help his parents with work. He lived a comfortable life.
The business in the store is still the same as before, with basically no customers. Occasionally, they sell some beads or porcelain shipped from Jingdezhen.
"Drip!"
The phone alert sounded.
Zhao Dongchuan withdrew his mind from his sea of consciousness and took out his cell phone to check.
It turned out to be a reminder sound from the surveillance camera.
Is there anyone coming to the store?
He looked at the two figures that appeared on the phone screen and was a little surprised.
It's only 8 o'clock in the morning, how come someone is coming? Before, there were occasional guests around o'clock in the afternoon... It's quite rare to have people coming so early in the morning.
Zhao Dongchuan quickly stood up, walked out of the office and headed outside.
"Hello...what can you two do for me?"
As soon as I came out, I saw two people looking around, sometimes at the antique shelf, sometimes at the glass display case, and they were whispering something to each other.
"Hey, the boss is here..."
One of them, a slightly fat middle-aged man in flowery clothes, said with a smile.
The other one was a little younger, wearing a casual suit, jeans, and a pair of pointed leather shoes...he looked very fashionable.
"What do you two want to buy?"
Zhao Dongchuan looked at the two of them and asked politely.
"Hey hey... Is that Boss Zhao?"
"Huh? You know me?"
"It's like this. I was introduced by Boss Li... Last time I attended his grandfather's birthday party, I saw him bring a blue and white porcelain bowl with honeysuckle and Mani-shaped ornaments from the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty as a birthday gift..."
"It just so happens that I also want to buy some good things to give to others recently, so I asked Boss Li for your address... and came here. I hope Boss Zhao will forgive me for my indiscreet visit..."
Zhao Dongchuan nodded.
This antique business is like this, it mainly relies on word of mouth.
As long as you have good things, through word of mouth, you will slowly accumulate some customer resources, but it will take a long time...
Just like these two who came here "because of my reputation", it has been almost half a year.
"May I know your name, boss?"
Zhao Dongchuan asked politely.
"No need to mention my surname is Liu... This is my friend Mr. Xue!"
The slightly fat man's surname is Liu, and the one wearing casual clothes and dressed fashionably is named Xue.
Zhao Dongchuan guessed that Mr. Xue should be an expert in the business, and he came with him as a "military advisor" to take a look.
"Boss Liu, Mr. Xue, what would you like to see in our store?"
"To be honest, I don't really understand. I just want to get something real so I can give it to someone... preferably worth less than five million..."
Boss Liu touched his belly and said with a smile.
"Well...wait a minute."
Zhao Dongchuan said, and took out an antique and exquisite small wooden box from the cabinet beside him...
"Boss Liu, you are so lucky. It's a coincidence. I just received a treasure a few days ago. Take a look..."
As he spoke, he opened the wooden box and saw something wrapped in brocade inside.
Zhao Dongchuan put on gloves and slowly opened the brocade.
"hiss!"
"ah!"
Only two inhalation sounds were heard.
When Boss Liu and Mr. Xue saw the things wrapped in brocade, they subconsciously exclaimed!
This is a crystal clear jade bracelet.
It is natural full green and carved from ice jadeite. It has a delicate texture, a classic and elegant shape, and exudes a sense of luxury.
"This...this bracelet is rare!"
Mr. Xue was a little excited.
"Do you mind? I'll take a look at it."
Mr. Xue looked at Zhao Dongchuan cautiously.
"It's okay, you see..."
Zhao Dongchuan felt relieved. Although these things of his were rare in the eyes of others, they were nothing to him... After experiencing two worlds, he had collected a lot of treasures. He really didn't want to be high-profile, otherwise it would be more than enough to open a museum or something.
If they have other ideas, Zhao Dongchuan doesn't mind teaching them how to behave!
.........
Mr. Xue nodded happily, took the gloves from Zhao Dongchuan and put them on, then gently picked up the jade bracelet and looked at it carefully.
Boss Liu standing by was very anxious. He also wanted to try it, but Mr. Xue was watching it so seriously that he couldn't disturb him and could only watch.
"It is naturally green, crystal clear, fine in texture, and rich in color. It is truly a rare heirloom!"
Mr. Xue reluctantly placed the jade bracelet in his hand into the wooden box, amazed.
Boss Liu standing by couldn't wait any longer, as he wanted to buy this.
He quickly put on gloves and started reading, making smacking sounds in his mouth as he read.
By the time Boss Liu put down the bracelet, almost half an hour had passed.
"Oh, Boss Zhao, you are amazing. You can actually get a jade bracelet of such quality..."
Mr. Xue is a veteran player in the antiques industry, well-known in the circle. He is an old acquaintance of Boss Liu. When he heard that Boss Liu was going to an unknown shop to hunt for treasures, he came with him, fearing that he would make a mistake and get cheated.
Although he had heard a little about the project owner, Boss Li, and knew that he was a good person and unlikely to set up a trap to cheat people, it was still better to be cautious.
Now, after seeing the treasure that Zhao Dongchuan took out, I realized that he was judging others by his own mean standards.
"Boss Zhao, I like this thing. Name your price!"
Boss Liu gently put down the jade bracelet in his hand and said in a loud voice, looking determined to get it.
Seeing this, Mr. Xue frowned and sighed in his heart.
Well, this guy is really excited to see the prey, and he doesn't show any cunning at all.
But this stuff is definitely worth it!
He then nodded and said, "Boss Zhao, this thing is indeed a very rare item...it's very rare!"
"Please give me a price and we can discuss it!"
He added slightly euphemistically, fearing that Zhao Dongchuan would ask for too much.
"Hahaha, since I took it out, of course I want to sell it..."
"This treasure... is one of the few good things in my collection... How about this, since Boss Liu likes it, 4.88 million... you can take it away!"
Zhao Dongchuan thought about it and offered a more reasonable price.
"Hahaha, Boss Zhao is really quick to speak... The price is not expensive... Thank you for giving it to me!"
Boss Liu really liked it. Seeing Mr. Xue nod slightly after hearing the offer, he knew that the price was not outrageous, so he no longer hesitated and bought it directly.
Zhao Dongchuan then took out the contract, took a video and attached a picture, signed the contract, stamped it, made the payment... and got the goods!
After completing all the formalities, Boss Liu held the wooden box with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Baby, come home with me... Hehe!"
Mr. Xue was very happy for his friend when he saw the transaction was successfully completed.
"Boss Zhao, you have quite a few treasures here!"
He pointed to the Qing Dynasty porcelain on the antique shelf and said with a smile.
"They are just little things, displayed here for everyone's amusement!"
Zhao Dongchuan said modestly while looking at the bank's payment notification.
"Boss Zhao, you are too modest. These things cost tens of thousands of dollars each, and hundreds of thousands of dollars each. And you just put them here...
You are so kind-hearted!"
Mr. Xue looked around and said with some surprise.
“Hahaha…I’ve been pretty lucky lately, and received a lot of good things!”
Zhao Dongchuan said with a smile.
Afterwards, the two chatted for a while in the store, left two business cards, asked for Zhao Dongchuan’s contact information, and left happily...
"This money comes in really fast... Counting these 4.88 million, I will have nearly 10 million in my hands..."
But he has too many good things... and he is not short of money!
Zhao Dongchuan put away the contract, ink pad and other things, and continued to watch the drama...
