Jianbaotang and Lingxitang, as the two largest stores in the Xianqiao Antique Market, have always been at odds with each other and undermined each other.

Compared with the quaint layout of Lingxi Hall, Jianbao Hall looks much more modern, with a bright and bright viewing hall, the floor is as bright as a mirror, the ceiling is covered with lighting and exhaust equipment, and rows of glass counters display items.

The cultural relics and antiques allow viewers to view them conveniently.

There are beautiful shopping guides wearing cheongsam standing in front of the counter, carefully explaining to customers the origins of the cultural relics, antiques, jades, etc. inside, which has undoubtedly become a beautiful feature here.

It has to be said that Jianbaotang is a fashionable commercial operation, which is exactly the opposite of Lingxitang. Each has its own characteristics and style.

There is a special appraisal room on one side of the hall, with private rooms inside, where specialized appraisers can appraise collectors for free.

Just like this, it attracted a large number of collectors and enthusiasts to come and appraise it, making the Treasure Appraisal Hall extremely popular and no less popular than Lingxi Hall.

The second floor is where Jianbaotang's high-level offices are held and where distinguished guests are received. The layout is very modern, completely in a company style, with various job titles hanging on each office door.

The chairman's office at the back is spacious and bright, with floor-to-ceiling windows, expensive desks, leather sofas, crystal lighting, etc., making it look extremely luxurious.

There are two people in the office at the moment. Sitting on the leather office chair is a middle-aged man with a calm demeanor and no anger. He is wearing a Chinese tunic suit, which gives him a capable and shrewd temperament.

His name is Yang Mingyuan, and he is the owner of this large antique shop. Although he is not a collector, he is well-known in the collecting world. He has countless cultural relics and antiques transferred from his hands every year. There are very few in the surrounding areas of Chengdu.

Collectors don't know about him.

Compared to Zhao Shicheng, the shopkeeper of Lingxi Hall, Yang Mingyuan is more like a businessman. He doesn't know anything about cultural relics and antiques, but he is engaged in the business of buying and selling antiques and cultural relics.

Sitting on the sofa below the desk was a handsome young man with long hair. If Ling Yu were present, he would have discovered that this young man with long hair was Yang Zichen.

"Starting next month, you will come here and learn how to take care of business."

Yang Mingyuan tapped the table with his five fingers and said suddenly.

"Dad, why did you change your surname today? Didn't I not be allowed to come into contact with this place before?"

Yang Zichen's eyes lit up. He had wanted to come here for a long time, but Yang Mingyuan kept refusing to let him go.

"It used to be in the past, when business was not stable, but now it's almost there. Besides, don't do the little things you tinker with anymore, and just make friends with all the unscrupulous people."

Yang Mingyuan's eyes were extremely sharp, with an unprecedented confidence, and he seemed to have solved a huge problem.

"Dad, you already know this!"

Yang Zichen was shocked.

"Do you think you did it perfectly? I don't know how many eyes are watching secretly. Fortunately, your stall is not big and I am protecting you secretly. Otherwise, you would have swallowed even the bones."

Yang Mingyuan snorted, took out a document from the drawer, threw it on the table, and said lightly: "This folder contains some information about this treasure hall. Take a good look at it and be aware of it."

Yang Zichen quickly stood up and walked up to take the document in his hand, looked at it briefly, and then asked: "Dad, what position do you want me to take here?"

"Let's start with the manager of the internal affairs department. Pay attention to handling the relationship with your employees and listen to their opinions. Of course, you must also be independent in doing things."

Yang Mingyuan had already arranged everything.

At this moment, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in." Yang Mingyuan's eyes flashed.

The door was pushed open, and an ordinary-looking man in his thirties walked in. He happened to be the man who went to Lingxi Hall to challenge Lao Baitou.

His name is Guan Yue, and he is also an appraiser at the Appraisal Hall. He is highly valued by Yang Mingyuan, and was arranged by Yang Mingyuan to be Lao Baitou's deputy.

"Boss, the chief challenge failed."

He came to report the results of this challenge to Yang Mingyuan.

Yang Mingyuan frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Lao Baitou actually failed this time, which surprised him. Lao Baitou put a lot of thought into that jade, and he knew the origin of the jade. He had had it appraised by several well-known domestic appraisers, but none of them had it.

come out.

Guan Yue quickly explained the situation at that time in detail.

Yang Mingyuan's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he said in surprise: "The person who identified this jade was actually a young man. No wonder Old Baitou was unjustly defeated. As far as I know, Zhao Shicheng doesn't have a nephew by his side."

,Well, do you know his name?”

"It seems to be called Ling Yu." Guan Yue thought for a while and said.

Ling Yu? Yang Zichen's handsome face twitched slightly. As soon as he heard the name, he thought of the scene last night, and a surge of anger brewed in his heart. If he hadn't been called by Yang Mingyuan today, he would have been ready to deal with Ling Yu.

However, he decided that when he had time, he would make Ling Yu look good.

It shouldn't be him, it might be a coincidence, Yang Zichen comforted himself like this.

"Guan Yue, I will give you a task. We will do everything possible to recruit this Ling Yu into our Treasure Appraisal Hall. As for the salary and benefits, we can follow the standards of a five-star appraiser."

Yang Mingyuan thought for a moment, his brows suddenly stretched, and the corners of his thin mouth raised in a meaningful arc.

"ah!"

Guan Yue and Yang Zichen both exclaimed.

The five-star standard already belongs to the ranks of the top appraisers in the country. There is only Lao Baitou in the Treasure Appraisal Hall. Yang Mingyuan would actually value a young man in his twenties so much. Even if he beat Lao Baitou this time, it would not matter.

It does not mean that his appraisal level is on par with Lao Baitou.

However, Yang Mingyuan has another thought. Considering that Ling Yu has such an appraisal level at his current age, if he is given time to grow up and become famous, his achievements will be limitless in the future, and he may be able to become one of the top appraisal experts in the world.

The ranks of divisions are not necessarily certain either.

So far, there has not been a world-class appraiser in China, that is, a six-star appraiser.

If one of the world's top appraisers comes from the Treasure Appraisal Hall, then it will be of great benefit to the Treasure Appraisal Hall.

What's more, if Ling Yu is recruited as his subordinate, it will also be a blow to Lingxi Hall, and the negative impact of Lao Baitou's failure in the challenge will not be a problem.

"Boss, there's something wrong with this. If the old man finds out..."

Guan Yue said hesitantly, but did not say the next words.

Yang Mingyuan glanced at him lightly, waved his hand and said: "You don't need to worry about Lao Baitou, go ahead!"

Naturally, it is difficult for outsiders to know his thoughts. He is a businessman, and businessmen pursue profit. Now that Ling Yu has greater potential, he will certainly not let it go.

"Dad, why don't you leave this task to me?"

Yang Zichen's heart moved and he suddenly said.

Although he didn't believe that this Lingyu was Bi Lingyu, he was still a little worried. If his enemies entered the Treasure Appraisal Hall, it would be a very depressing thing.

Yang Mingyuan glanced at his son in surprise, and said after a while: "Okay, remember to be more sincere and never neglect the other person."

He made this determination with deep meaning. His son was about to enter the Treasure Appraisal Hall. If Ling Yu could get along well with his son, it would be of great benefit to his son in managing the Treasure Appraisal Hall in the future.

"Humph, I hope you are not that Ling Yu, otherwise I will have to settle the score with you."

Yang Zichen naturally agreed, but he had something else in mind.

If Yang Mingyuan knew his son's current thoughts, he would probably never agree to Yang Zichen's request.

It's a pity that there are no ifs in this world. Although he is shrewd, he still cannot see through people's hearts, especially his son's heart.

However, Yang Mingyuan still felt uneasy about his son and asked Guan Yue to follow him.
