Chapter 129

"Sister Avon, we are much more relaxed now."

Fang Ming didn't know that Qian put him in front of Zhao Benhua and praised him greatly. While driving, his mind was full of preparations for the opening of the new store, so how could he care about anything else?
Zhou Yafang also breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said, "Yes, that is indeed the case."

This time the new store is expanding, the time is too tight, the decoration and other things are crowded together, but this is not the most difficult thing, the most difficult thing is the antiques placed after the store opened, and now they are borrowed from Qian Fang. Dozens of pieces, it can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need, which relieved her heart that had been hanging on for a while.

"However, this is only temporary. We have to hurry up and solve the problem of the antiques in the store. Otherwise, when people ask whether the antiques in the store are sold, we can't just say no all the time, right?"

Fang Ming was naturally aware of this problem, and said: "I asked him before Qian Fang if he would sell some of the antiques, just to solve this problem. After all, there must be no problem with the things collected by veterans like Qian Fang. However, what he didn't expect was that he didn't want to let the money die, and the reason was that he was worried that he would find something wrong with him!
Thinking of what happened just now, Zhou Yafang also laughed and said, "Who told you that your reputation as a leaker is so scary? It made them all worry."

"Where did I expect them to think so?"

Fang Ming was quite helpless. This kind of writing was indeed something he had never thought about before. What was frustrating was that if he couldn't "distribute" some antiques from Qianfang, where could he find antiques all of a sudden?

This question was not thought of today, Fang Ming has actually been having a headache about it recently, but where did he think of a good solution?

"By the way, Sister Avon, where did you usually buy antiques?"

Fang Ming suddenly remembered that Zhou Yafang used to run an antique shop, and she should have a channel to buy goods.

"In the past, the antiques in the store were mainly bought by me. The mass-produced ones were handicrafts. How could they be antiques? When I first opened the store, there were not many antiques in the store. I slowly bought them from street stalls or other places. I found it in an antique shop. But now this method is no longer feasible.”

"why?"

Fang Ming frowned, not understanding why Zhou Yafang said that the current method would not work.

"At that time, the store was small, and no one paid attention to me when I opened it. I had plenty of time to slowly search for antiques to enrich the whole store, but now we obviously don't have so much time."

"This one……"

Fang Ming was speechless for a while. He realized that what Zhou Yafang said was right. The shop is now much bigger than before, and the treasure appraisal meeting will be coming soon. The demand will be huge, how can it be possible to make it through trading alone?
The problem is, for antique shops, this may be the most important way, because in this way every antique has to pass through the hands of the owner to ensure that the antiques are real - of course, if the owner's vision is not good, it is another It's the same thing.

"Quite a headache!"

Zhou Yafang thought for a while, and finally she could only say in a helpless tone: "Forget it, there is no good way for the time being, so I can only hold on for now. It turns out that the antiques in my shop, plus He Lin's For the ones that were taken over, Zhu Bai also has a few of them, which is enough for us to hold on for a while, as for the borrowed ones, we can only find an excuse not to sell them for the time being."

"That's the only way to go. After the Appreciation Conference starts, there will be people from other places setting up stalls? I'll go and sweep a batch and come back."

Fang Ming knew that this was the only way to go at the moment. Fortunately, Zhou Yafang's original antiques were all passable, and He Lin Zhubai also had about 10 pieces worth [-] yuan or more, enough to last for a while. .

Zhou Yafang's eyes lit up, and she blurted out: "This is indeed a good idea, but you must hurry up, otherwise the leak-seeking live broadcast you proposed to Si Kongzhe will not be possible after the start."

"Correct!"

The car stopped in front of Avonzhai, and the two walked inside.

"Brother Fang Ming, sister Avon, are you back? The decoration of this store has been completed, and it is cleaning now."

As soon as she saw Fang Ming and Zhou Yafang coming in, Jiang Wen walked over immediately, and she was also holding a mop in her hand, and her trousers were rolled up, obviously she was doing hygiene herself.

"Great!"

Fang Ming rubbed his hands together, with an excited expression on his face, the decoration was finally completed, and the next step was to arrange furniture and antiques, and calculated the time to be able to open before the treasure appraisal meeting.

"When will the sanitation be finished?"

Zhou Yafang also had an excited look on her face. The Appreciation Conference was about to start. If the new store couldn't open before then, the loss would be too great.

"Tonight is enough. I have already contacted a special cleaning company. Because I have to hurry up, I asked them to send more people. I must clean the whole store before 12 o'clock tonight."

"Ah."

Jiang Wen's decision to find more people to clean is right. The most important thing now is to hurry up. As for spending a little more money, there is no problem at all.

Zhou Yafang immediately took out her mobile phone and called Wu Hao. Every second counts now, and she can't wait for tomorrow. At two o'clock, he will be notified to deliver all the furniture ordered before at one or two o'clock in the morning and arrange them.

Wu Hao had already made preparations, so after receiving Zhou Yafang's call, he immediately started getting people ready to load the car. He guaranteed that he would arrive at twelve o'clock in the morning. As soon as the store was cleaned up, the furniture would be moved in.

"Snapped!"

Fang Ming suddenly slapped himself hard on the forehead, and said, "Sister Avon, we forgot one most important thing!"

Zhou Yafang was taken aback by Fang Ming's actions, and her heartbeat also accelerated. If something went wrong at this time, it would be troublesome, and the time was too tight to deal with it in time.

"Signboard, the signboard of our new store is not ready yet."

"what?!"

Zhou Yafang also exclaimed, she really forgot about this matter.

"It's too late to regret it now. The most urgent thing is to quickly confirm the name of the store, and then find someone to hurry up."

A thin layer of sweat appeared on Fang Ming's forehead, thinking how he and Zhou Yafang had forgotten such an important matter.

"As for the name of the store, how about 'Guxuanzhai'?"

Zhou Yafang just thought about it for a while, then nodded immediately and said: "Okay, the name is good, so it's settled like this. The key to the problem now is to find someone to carve out the signboard. Time is really tight. Find a good name." It's not easy for people."

Zhou Yafang regretted it to death at this time. She had been busy with the new store during this period of time. She thought that everything had been arranged, but she didn't expect such a big mistake to happen in the end.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Fang Ming's mind, and he thought of Zheng Ru, she must know everyone who carved it, so it should be no problem to find her.

As soon as he thought of it, he immediately took out his mobile phone and called Zheng Ru, but what he didn't expect was that she said that Ning Yuan was an expert in this field, and he could just go to her directly.

"How? Found someone?"

Seeing Fang Ming finished the phone call, Zhou Yafang immediately asked, she was really in a hurry now.

"Yes, how about this, Sister Avon, I will leave the matter here to you. I will find someone now and carve the signboard right away."

"Okay! You go."

Fang Ming nodded, and immediately rushed to the car. After turning on the ignition, he stepped on the accelerator fiercely, and the Hummer rushed out like a huge beast, heading straight for Ningde Street.

Time was tight, so Fang Ming drove the car as fast as possible. Fortunately, there were not many cars on the road when it was not commuting time, otherwise Fang Ming might be driven mad.

"squeak!"

Fang Ming drove the car directly to Ningyuan's studio, slammed on the brakes, and made a harsh sound, but he didn't care about it at this time, opened the car door, jumped down, and rushed inside.

"Fang Ming, what are you doing here?"

As soon as Fang Ming entered, he saw Ning Yuan was in the lobby on the first floor, still dressed casually, and even holding a cup of coffee in his hand.

The two met not long ago, how could Ning Yuan expect Fang Ming to come to him again so soon?

"It's like this. My new store is about to start. To be precise, it will open tomorrow, because the day after tomorrow is the opening time of the Appreciation Conference - we have to hurry before this. But we forgot to prepare the signboard, Miss Ru Said that you are a master of carving, so I came to you."

This is not the time to be polite, Fang Ming immediately explained his reason for coming, and if Ning Yuan didn't have time, he would go find someone else right away.

Ning Yuan frowned and said, "Time is too tight, good things take time, don't you even understand this truth?"

For this accusation, Fang Ming can only bear it, he really forgot:
"There is no other way now, or I can just find a shop and carve a piece."

Sighing, Fang Ming realized that he really had to use this method. It would be easier to make a signboard in ten minutes.

"I don't think so. It's too late to engrave. How about bronze casting? Of course, because the time is too tight, there is no way to do it well--let you do it first, after passing this level How about making another piece for you slowly?"

"Great!"

Fang Ming knew that a master like Ning Yuan had a solid foundation, so no matter how tight the time was, the things they produced were much better than ordinary people, and the texture of bronze was more suitable for antique shops. This is currently the best choice. up.

"Then come with me."

Ning Yuan walked out of the store as he spoke, and said as he walked, "My bronze sculpture studio is in the suburbs of the city. Come with me."
