    The next day, Wu Ke took Qiao Qian and Liu Guoju's family to visit famous scenic spots in the capital. Chu Chen also sent them a famous female bodyguard because they were afraid of any accidents.  As for Chu Chen, he went to Uncle Wu first, and then took him to his store. After all, it will officially open tomorrow, and some things still need to be prepared.  Now that the decoration of the store has been completed, the antique atmosphere made Chu Chen nod his head and felt very satisfied.  When he arrived at the store, Zhou Wenping first introduced the newly recruited clerk to Chu Chen. Unlike other antique stores, Chu Chen's store also sold jade jewelry, so he hired more clerks. In total, there were  Five clerks, plus a cashier.  Regarding the recruitment of store clerks, Chu Chen would like to thank Lao Wu. Because of his connections, these people he recruited are all experienced people who know the basics. As long as they receive a little training and become familiar with the store rules, they can take up the job.  Chu Chen first distributed the gifts brought back by Xiangjiang to everyone, even the clerks. This gave them a very good first impression of Chu Chen, the young and handsome boss.  Afterwards, the group of people came to the VIP room upstairs. Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu quickly made everyone a cup of tea. This made Uncle Wu nodded secretly. Neither of them was because Chu Chen was nice to them.  But if you lose your sense of proportion, you will always be a wise person.  Next, Chu Chen first asked about the preparations for the opening, and Zhou Wenping took out a piece of paper and reported them to Chu Chen one by one.  Chu Chen learned from this that basically everything to be prepared for tomorrow has been prepared. In addition, Zhou Wenping has also sent the invitations to everyone Chu Chen had told him before.  Seeing that there were basically no problems with Lin Lin, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work!" Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu waved their hands quickly.  It means everything should be done.  However, Uncle Wu frowned and said, "Xiao Chen, there are still some high-quality products and treasures in our store. Why don't you bring over some of my collections?" Chu Chen is going to open his collection tomorrow.  Those treasures are brought out for the guests to appreciate, which can be regarded as a display of his strength.  Of course, the best items in his collection cannot be sold, so he always has to prepare some exquisite items and treasures for guests to choose from.  But Chu Chen¡¯s background is too shallow after all, of course, the background mentioned here.  It's not the best ones. If it's the best ones, then if he takes out two of them at random, others will be envious and jealous.  The heritage mentioned here refers to the fine products that can be sold in antique shops, or some treasures and other objects that Chu Chen does not intend to collect.  You know, Chu Chen wants to build his store into a boutique antique store.  Therefore, you can't just sell ordinary things like small vendors often do.  But because Chu Chen's time to become successful was too short after all, although with the help of Uncle Wu and Lao Wu, he already had some high-quality products and treasures that he could sell.  But the quantity of these things is still too small.  If the customers who come tomorrow buy a lot, what should the store do next?  This is exactly what Uncle Wu is worried about.  After hearing what Uncle Wu said, Chu Chen quickly waved his hands and said: "No, no. I'll think of a solution first. By the way, after I went to Jiangxiang, did I receive any high-quality products or treasures?" "I received three.  Pieces!" Uncle Wu gestured with a smile.  Chu Chen was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "So many?" Uncle Wu smiled and nodded: "It was also good luck. There was a boss who owed a lot of debt because his business failed, so he wanted to sell some antiques to pay off the debt.  Among those things, two are considered small treasures. In addition, Lao Wu also received a fine item. " Chu Chen couldn't help but smile: "That's five items including the two items I received first.  , I still have some at home that I can bring over, that¡¯s enough! Let¡¯s go and take out those three things for me to appreciate, so that I won¡¯t be embarrassed if I don¡¯t know anything about them tomorrow.¡± Everyone smiled.  Er smiled, and then Chu Chen and Zhou Wenping walked towards the vault.  But as soon as Chu Chen went out, he saw a clerk hurriedly walked upstairs.  "Boss, there is an old man named Sun Dayou below who wants to see you!" "Oh!" Chu Chen stopped for a moment, and after thinking about it for a moment, he remembered that Sun Dayou was the granddaughter who had leukemia.  The old man, so he quickly said: "Go and ask him to come up!" "Okay!" the clerk responded, and then hurried downstairs.  Because Sun Dayou was coming, Chu Chen asked Lao Wu and Zhou Wenping to take out the things, while he first made a cup of tea for Sun Dayou.  After a while, that Sun Da? He walked in carrying a cloth bag, and then gave a deep salute to Chu Chen: "Boss Chu, thank you so much for last time. If it weren't for you, my granddaughter would probably be dead!" Chu Chen  Chen quickly stepped forward and helped Sun Dayou up: "Mr. Sun, you really killed me. We were just doing fair business that day. You don't need to thank me like this!" Sun Dayou shook his head and said: "I didn't mean to say that.  I thank you for the phone call you gave me. It was because of the other party¡¯s help that my granddaughter was able to have the surgery as soon as possible. If it had been a little later, her life would probably have been lost. ¡°It turns out that Sun Dayou¡¯s granddaughter was dead.  Because of acute leukemia, they needed surgery as soon as possible. However, the hospital they were originally in was of limited quality. Although the surgery could be done, the success rate was not guaranteed. Moreover, the family's stem cells did not match his granddaughter's, but stem cells were not that easy.  It can be found in no time.  Afterwards, the family discussed transferring to another hospital, so Sun Dayou remembered the phone call Chu Chen gave.  When Director Miao heard that it was Chu Chen, he immediately opened the door for convenience. With his help, he quickly found the stem cells and immediately performed the surgery.  It was precisely because of timely treatment that the little girl had the possibility of recovery, otherwise she might have passed away.  Although this matter is attributed to Director Miao, and Sun Dayou's family also expressed their gratitude to him, if it weren't for Chu Chen, how could the head teacher of a large hospital try so hard to help ordinary people like them?  ?  So, as soon as her granddaughter got better, Sun Dayou came over to thank Chu Chen. It was a coincidence that Chu Chen happened to come to the store today. If he had come earlier, he would have missed the opportunity.  Hearing that Sun Dayou's granddaughter recovered well, Chu Chen congratulated him and said with a smile: "This is all the credit of Director Miao, I don't dare to take credit!" "Don't say that!" Sun Dayou  He waved his hand and said: "I'll tell you the truth, if it weren't for your relationship, Director Miao wouldn't be able to do his best. This is all your favor! I can't give you anything good. I know you like antiques. At home,  There happen to be two things handed down from our ancestors, do you like them?" As he said that, he took out two boxes from his pocket and pushed them in front of Chu Chen.  However, Chu Chen did not open the box first, but said: "Mr. Sun, I can accept the things, but we have to talk first. If it is just a trinket, then it is okay for me to accept it, but if the thing is of high value, then I  I must give you the money, otherwise, you should take it back! " "This" Sun Dayou seemed a little hesitant. After all, it was his granddaughter's kindness, even if it was thousands of dollars, it was given to Chu Chen.  He was also willing. As for the things that would be worth tens or millions, he had not thought about it, because he did not think that the little thing he brought this time would be such a precious treasure.  Uncle Wu also tried to persuade him: "Old sir, the right way is to put more emphasis on friendship than etiquette. When Xiao Chen called you, he was not looking for money. If your gift is too expensive, it will appear too philistine. You  "Say yes?" Sun Dayi thought it was reasonable, and nodded: "Okay, if it's thousands or tens of thousands, then you can just accept it. After all, my granddaughter's life may not be worth it."  "Could you pay me some money?" "Okay!" Chu Chen agreed directly without being too pretentious. Then he opened one of the boxes, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. It turned out that what was inside was  A bronze and enamel snuff bottle.  The snuff bottle is a product of the fusion of Chinese and Western cultures. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, snuff was introduced into our country. Later, snuff boxes gradually became orientalized and snuff bottles were produced.  At that time, the nomads living there could not smoke with chimneys on horseback, so snuff was suitable for snuffing on horses, and it quickly became popular.  In order to make snuff bottles strong and durable, nomadic people often use various jade, metal, bone and angle materials to make snuff bottles.  Later, our country's snuff bottles have become very exquisite handicrafts.  It integrates calligraphy, painting, carving, inlaying, polishing and other techniques. It uses porcelain, copper, ivory, jade, agate, amber and other materials. It uses blue and white, multicolored, porcelain carving, nesting, skillful work, interior painting and other techniques to draw on the knowledge of the region.  Due to the advantages of various craftsmanship at home and abroad, it is regarded as a precious cultural relic by connoisseurs and enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad.  Snuff and snuff bottles became popular in my country, beginning in the Ming Dynasty and flourishing in the Qing Dynasty.  Especially during the reigns of Kangxi, Yongzong and Qianlong, they reached their peak.  Since Kangxi, enamel products have been vigorously promoted, and an "enamel factory" was set up in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Qing Dynasty to bake enamel wares, which has greatly improved both technically and craftsmanship, and has become a very important handicraft in the palace crafts.  .  The snuff bottle in front of you is a product of the Ministry of Internal Affairs during the Qianlong period.  During the Qianlong period, exchanges between China and foreign countries became increasingly prosperous, and handicrafts became increasingly popular in China.There are more and more Western themes, especially those with figures on bronze and enamel.  This pot has gorgeous colors, with cloud patterns on both sides and Western figures and flowers. The figures echo nature and the colors are gorgeous.  When drawing, the craftsmen paid attention to the treatment of the folds of the characters' clothing, which is delicate, smooth, luxurious and soft.  This imperial-made copper enamel snuff bottle for Western ladies is a representative work of the Qianlong period. It is extremely rare and can be said to be the darling of the collectors. It is very precious.
