Chapter 133 All Night and Confidence

It was already three o'clock in the morning when Fang Ming returned to the store, but he knew that Zhou Yafang and Jiang Wen must still be busy in the store, as he had already lamented before, tonight must be a sleepless night.

Sure enough, as soon as I drove the car into the small antique street, I saw the brightly lit shop from a distance, and there were several large cars parked, and one piece of furniture was being removed from above and moved into the store.

After parking the car, Fang Ming quickly walked into the store, and saw Zhou Yafang in a blink of an eye.

"Sister Avon, what's the matter?"

Zhou Yafang looked back and found that Fang Ming was not carrying a signboard, but was holding a bronze vessel. She frowned and said, "Where's the signboard?"

"Oh, Sister Avon, don't worry, it's already finished, it's on the car, it's a bit too heavy, so I won't move it down yet."

The signboard was a bit heavy, but it was not a reason not to move in. He was anxious to see how the store was furnished, so he forgot about it.

Only then did Zhou Yafang realize that she had made a fuss over a molehill, but when Fang Ming said that the signboard was too heavy, she was secretly surprised, and said, "Too heavy? The signboards in our shop don't need to be too big, one meter long is enough, why not?" Will it be too heavy?"

"Hey, this is not an ordinary signboard. I found her best friend through Zheng Ru, and then cast it in bronze. It can't be heavy."

Bronze?
Zhou Yafang was pleasantly surprised. She was an antique dealer, so she was no stranger to materials like bronze. She knew that using it to make signboards was definitely the best choice.

"That's right! But what about that thing in your hand?"

Fang Ming handed the bronze tripod in his hand to Zhou Yafang, and said, "It's like this. When I was casting the signboard, I helped Ning Yuan—a good friend of Zheng Ru's—and the pile of scraps I bought from her unintentionally. An antique bronze ware was found in the bronze material, and it was well preserved. I think the value should be around 200 million. Is there still a shortage of antiques in our shop? So I did some work on Ningyuan, and finally she agreed to put the This antique is on consignment in our store."

Hearing that it was picking up leaks again, Zhou Yafang was taken aback immediately, then shook her head with a wry smile, and said, "No way, are you exaggerating? The last time I went shopping with Jiang Wen for clothes, I ended up picking up leaks; this time I went to prepare Did you miss the signboard used to open the store? Is there any law of heaven in this world?"

"Ha! Sister Avon, this is absolutely reasonable. Think about it, didn't we always worry that there were too few antiques in our store before? Now God also thinks that we can, deliberately let us pick up the leaks, so that such a large store Hold up."

"Besides, isn't my picking up the leaks the same as your picking up the leaks? There is no difference in this point, right?"

Fang Ming is now a partner with Zhou Yafang, that's why he said this.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Yafang realized that what Fang Ming said was not wrong at all. Now that the two of them are in partnership, the greater Fang Ming's ability to pick up leaks, the better for him.He laughed and said, "I've thought about this question before."

"Fang Ming, the furniture in the store is almost ready, and the antiques can be put up in a while. By the way, the new store will open tomorrow. Have Qian Fang waited for someone to notify you?"

The opening of the new store can't be done without some heavyweights. I have already talked to Qian Fang, Sikong Zhe and others before, and they all promised to come on the day of opening.

"Already notified."

In the process of making signboards, since Ning Wan was in charge of most of the things, Fang Ming was just helping out. When he had free time, he quickly called and told them that they would open tomorrow, and asked Sikong Zhe and the others to come and give it to them. Stand on your own platform, and at the same time, this is also auspicious.

Hearing this, Zhou Yafang finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Now there is only one thing left——to display the antiques."

"Then I'll go back to the rented house and bring those antiques over."

Because it cost half, all the antiques in Zhou Yafang’s original store, including the antiques taken over from He Lin and Zhu Bai, were packed and shipped to Fang Ming’s rented room near the Small Antique Street. Those antiques that were borrowed from the old man did not take them back, but they were still in his trunk.

"Okay! Go ahead, when you come back, you can just display antiques."

Fang Ming nodded, turned around and walked out, the time is too tight now, he can't procrastinate.When he returned to the store, he found that all the furniture had been put in place, because three bunks were opened up to form one, of course the area was not small, and it seemed a little empty when the furniture was not put up, but at this time But it presents a simple and simple atmosphere, and the imitation Ming Dynasty furniture makes people feel as if they have traveled back to ancient times when they walk in. This kind of atmosphere is most suitable for antique shops.

"Not bad! Pretty good!"

Fang Ming praised repeatedly, he was quite satisfied with these furniture.

"Hee, I'm also quite satisfied."

Fang Ming looked back and found that Zhou Yafang and Jiang Wen were walking towards him. Although their faces were tired, they were obviously very excited.

"Brother Fang Ming, this store is really beautiful!"

Jiang Wen's little face was full of excitement. She spent the last time here together, and now she finally saw the fruits of her labor. How could she not be excited?Moreover, her current destiny has been closely linked with the antique shop, and she is naturally more happy to see that the antique shop is getting better and better.

"Hey, all that's left now is to put the antiques up."

Fang Ming pointed to the two boxes under his feet, and said, "Put the ones in these two boxes first, and I'll get back to the car and bring the rest in."

"Ok!"

This night, Fang Ming, Zhou Yafang, and Jiang Wen worked together until dawn, and did not arrange all the antiques until eight o'clock. Of course, this was because they did not simply put the antiques on the shelves. Instead, consider the size and type of each antique, and the best place to put it. Sometimes an antique is placed in four or five places before it is finally determined. Naturally, it takes a lot of time.

"People are iron and rice is steel. Even if we don't sleep, we still have to find something to eat."

When the last antique was placed on the shelf, Fang Ming found that once he relaxed, his whole body had no strength at all, as if he had run several marathons, and this was still the case with his physical strength, let alone Zhou Yafang and Jiang Wen. up.

After a while, Zhou Yafang, who had already slumped on the sofa, said weakly:
"Yes, we need something to eat."

Jiang Wen leaned on the sofa in a rather disfigured manner, did not reply to Zhou Yafang's words, but nodded fiercely.

"Do you want to go out to eat or I will pack?"

At this time, men naturally want to show their style.

"Go out to eat, drink morning tea, a few cups of hot tea, plus a few small snacks, this will be comfortable, this is the enjoyment!"

Jiang Wen made Zhou Yafang's words so funny that her saliva almost flowed out, she "struggled" to get up from the sofa, and said, "Brother Fang Ming, Sister Afang, let's go now, while I still have a little strength, I want to go I won't be able to move for a while."

I tried my best to get up and walk outside. Fortunately, there was a good teahouse in Xiaoanti Street, and the three of Fang Ming managed to get there.

Drinking morning tea naturally has an atmosphere in the lobby, and since the teahouse is located on Antique Street, most of the people who come here to drink tea are colleagues or lovers of Antique Street, and it naturally becomes a "resort" for information exchange.

After eight o'clock, the teahouse was already quite busy, and Fang Ming and the others almost couldn't find a seat when they arrived.

"Pu'er tea, then quickly push the cart over, we're starving to death."

As soon as he sat down, Fang Ming immediately called the waiter over.

"okay!"

The action of the teahouse was very fast. After 2 minutes, the tea and the carts piled with snacks came over. How could Fang Ming be "polite"?Sitting in the car in a hurry, he took more than a dozen baskets of dim sum and put them on the table.

Zhou Yafang and Jiang Wen were also starving, so they started to move immediately, and the snacks in the cage disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, the empty cages piled up were more than one meter high!

Fang Ming ate the fastest, and those chicken feet, custard buns, etc. slipped into his stomach as if they were stained with oil.

"Whoo~~~"

Patting his stomach, Fang Ming said, "I'm finally full."

Although he ate a good meal in Ningyuan's villa before, he is at the age when his body is growing, and he eats a lot and digests quickly, so the previous all-night consumption was huge, and now he is full of energy. up.

After a while, Zhou Yafang and Jiang Wen were also full.

"Comfortable!"

"I'm refreshed now."

Zhou Yafang and Jiang Wen drank tea slowly, and at this time they had food in their stomachs and were not in a panic.

The opening time was set at two o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, everything in the store was ready. The three of them were naturally quite relaxed at this time, so they did not leave in a hurry.

"Have you heard? The original Avon Zhai opened this afternoon after being renovated."

"Really?"

"of course it's true."

"Then you have to take a good look at it. Speaking of this, that Zhou Yafang is really quite powerful. She must have received the news in advance that the Little Antique Street will hold a treasure appraisal meeting, so she took the time to get Zhu Bai and He Lin The store will expand its business, and it will make a lot of money."

"That's not necessarily the case. If Dongfeng borrows it well, everything can be discussed, but if it's not borrowed well, it may capsize."

……

Listening to the discussion around them, Fang Ming and the three looked at each other and laughed softly.

"Sister Avon, it seems that not everyone is optimistic about us."

Zhou Yafang nodded and said, "Of course, I don't think we are the majority."

Don't look at the fact that antique collections are still hot in the past few years, but because the prices have reached a certain level, the profit margin has been relatively small, so the business is getting harder and harder to do, not to mention that there are fewer antiques in the market than before. a lot.

Jiang Wen was very relaxed at first, but now she suddenly became nervous and said, "Brother Fang Ming, Sister Afang, what shall we do?"

Seeing Jiang Wen's anxious look, Fang Ming and Zhou Yafang looked at each other and smiled.

"Don't worry, our Guxuanzhai will definitely become popular. You can just wait and see a good show during this time."

Fang Ming was full of confidence, just the idea of ​​missing the live broadcast was enough to make him popular, and Guxuanzhai would naturally become popular if he became popular!
