Chapter 3: Right-hand assistant, hands-off shopkeeper!
Yang Jianlong returned home and asked his father-in-law about this matter.
Zheng Xueming took out a piece of red paper with black writing on it, and said with a smile: "I thought you had forgotten about opening a store? Brother Lin hasn't come to see me in person recently."
Yang Jianlong told him what Lin Ran had been busy with recently, but he concealed the real name of the tomb robber.
"What? Brother Lin really did such a thing?" Zheng Xueming was very surprised.
No wonder I haven't seen Lin Ran during this period. He went to the store to help check on the decoration.
But when asked Yang Jianlong, he refused to tell where Lin Ran had gone.
It turns out that he went to teach foreign tomb robbers a lesson for the country.
I couldn't help but admire him even more: "Brother Lin actually entered the tiger's den alone. This kind of courage and courage is extraordinary."
Zheng Xueming sighed to himself. Even if he was like him, he would only think of ways to report. If the report failed, there was nothing he could do.
However, Lin Ran did not want to use a curve to save the country, pretending to cater to the tomb robbers, but actually preserved the appearance of the tomb, and at the same time replaced all the cultural relics inside with imitations.
This kind of strategy and courage is definitely not available to many people.
"Dad, what is written on this paper?" Yang Jianlong looked at the words on the red paper. They were both yin and yang and five elements, and he also wrote difficult and obscure language such as "Zi Shi".
Zheng Xueming laughed angrily: "This is the result of the master's calculation, which means that opening at ten o'clock next Tuesday morning is the best time."
"That's it." Yang Jianlong slapped his forehead and prepared to leave Zheng Xueming's house.
"Jianlong, where are you going?" Zheng Xueming asked quickly before he walked out of the house. In fact, he already had the answer in his heart.
As expected, Yang Jianlong said: "Of course I go to my godfather and tell him the time."
"Haha, Jianlong, why don't you invite Brother Lin to your house for a casual meal." Zheng Xueming suggested.
"Okay, okay." Yang Jianlong stood where he was. He wanted to invite Lin Ran home for dinner, but now there was a lot of work in the store, and Lin Ran had to watch the clerk load and replenish the goods, and there were many rules of conduct. Need to be formulated.
For example, if someone wants to buy calligraphy and painting, how should you help him take it out?
Another example is that something was damaged before I bought it in a store. How should I compensate for it?
And how to guide customers to purchase their items, bringing customers into the store at the door.
These are all things that Lin Ran needs to consider, and his work is extremely busy.
Of course there is no time to come to the house for dinner.
"I'll go with you." Zheng Xueming knew that Yang Jianlong was right, so he decided to personally invite Lin Ran's family.
And after hearing about the problems Lin Ran encountered in business, an idea came to his mind.
Before going out, I called an old friend and invited him to come home at noon.
When he came to the store, Lin Ran was indeed instructing the clerks. These clerks were originally interns from Tianlexing and only received initial training. Fortunately, Tianlexing has high requirements. The minimum education level of these young people is junior high school dropouts. There is a certain cultural foundation.
It is also easier to educate.
"If a customer damages ceramics, we have to deal with it on a case-by-case basis. For example, if the customer damages it intentionally, we will ask him to compensate according to the price; if the customer accidentally drops it on the ground and causes damage, we can give him two There are two options: one is to buy it at the original price, and the other is to compensate for half of the price, but the things cannot be taken away."
After all, this thing can be reused after recycling, and Lin Ran didn't want to waste materials.
After he finished explaining the preliminary employee rules, Zheng Xueming applauded together with the employees.
Only then did Lin Ran notice Zheng Xueming's arrival, and quickly stepped forward to shake hands with him: "Brother Zheng, why are you here?"
He had already picked up the calligraphy for the store, and there was no job for him in the store. Unexpectedly, he came with Yang Jianlong.
...
Without any explanation, Zheng Xueming and Yang Jianlong got in the car and took them to their home for lunch.
Yang Jianlong said apologetically: "Godfather, after dad found out about you, he insisted on inviting you to have a meal at home. Don't be offended."
Zheng Xueming angrily said: "What are you talking about? Isn't this just to express my gratitude to you?"
Yang Jianlong drove the car silently, and Lin Ran smiled and said, "Of course it doesn't matter if you eat. Anyway, I have completed the preliminary training for them."
"The opening time is scheduled for ten o'clock next Tuesday morning." Lin Ran wrote down the time.
Yang Jianlong has already arranged the etiquette company, and will arrange the host and ribbon-cutting ceremony.
He will also invite some of his friends to come and support him. After all, for a new store, the more people who participate in the ribbon-cutting, the more popular the store will be, and the store's business will be more prosperous in the future.
I originally wanted to ask my father-in-law for help, but my father-in-law's connections are in Tianlexing. In a sense, their handicrafts are also fake, and I'm afraid they will be looked down upon.
At this time, it is better to rely on their own connections.
In fact, Lin Ran already has someone suitable to invite, and in theory, he can't be worse than Tian Lexing!
However, he kept his plans a secret and did not make his plans public.
Zheng Xueming had arranged for the chef to prepare a table of meals before going out, and it was now ready.
As soon as they arrived in the living room, they saw the cooked meals covered and neatly placed on the table.
Of course, wine and tea are also indispensable. It looks like it will be another day without getting drunk.
Just when dinner was about to begin, an acquaintance walked into the living room.
Seeing Master Wu You, Yang Jianlong immediately called him to sit next to him.
Wu You was his teacher at Tianlexing, and he loved him in every possible way. The two of them also had a teacher-student relationship.
Zheng Xueming immediately introduced Wu You to Lin Ran: "Brother Lin, Wu You is not only good at identifying cultural relics, but also an expert in managing stores. Originally, I wanted to transfer him to the branch to be the store manager, but the branch has not yet After driving it, leaving him in Tianlexing always feels like the talent has been buried.”
The implication is obvious, he wants to introduce Wu You to his shop.
Lin Ran was of course extremely welcoming, but before he could speak, Zheng Xueming explained: "Brother Lin, I just saw that your shop has just opened and there may be many problems that will not be solved well, so I arranged for Master Wu You to help you. I didn't mean to be ostracized." You, you can rest assured.”
"How could it be?" Lin Ran smiled. He picked up the beer, poured a glass for Wu You, and filled it for himself. He raised his glass and toasted to Wu You: "Master Wu, the new store has just opened. Can you help me?" Take care of it.”
"Where, it should be." Wu You politely drank the wine in one gulp.
In fact, as early as a week ago, he had seen the handicrafts brought back by Yang Jianlong, and he was deeply shocked. Is this really a handicraft?
If it weren't for the intentional flaws in the handicraft, he would never believe that it was forged by modern people!
