"This bowl, I think it's more appropriate to put it here..."

Fang Bo instructed Jin Muchen to decorate the storefront. As a veteran of the antique business for decades, many of Fang Bo's suggestions were very good.

Especially in terms of store layout, Jin Muchen's store is much larger than Fang Bo's, so it takes a lot of thought to arrange it.

And the consumer groups here are also different from Fang Bo. Fang Bo’s antique shop is opened in Flushing, and it mainly faces middle and low-end consumer groups, as well as those who are pure Chinese antique lovers.

But Jin Muchen's store is different. His store is located in the Soho district of Manhattan. It mainly deals with the wealthy guys on Wall Street and the middle-to-high-end consumer groups with relatively affluent living standards. Moreover, the operation of his store is The range is also different from Fang Bo's.

Fang Bo is focused on the sales of Chinese antiques, but Jin Muchen's shop is all-encompassing, from East to West, so the layout of this store has a lot of knowledge.

It has been more than half a month since we moved from Flushing. Seeing that the store will open in a few days, Fang Bo and Jin Muchen have been busy with how to decorate the store recently. .

Traditional Chinese antique shops always put a lot of Chinese furniture and counters in the room to show their Chinese style. This style is very good, but Chinese furniture and counters are generally more particular about the format or materials. , so the color and style of the furniture are relatively old-fashioned. Too much furniture like this will make the store look cramped and depressing.

Jin Muchen doesn't like this style. Relatively speaking, he prefers a concise and modern style.

When the store was being renovated, he wanted to highlight the sense of history and modernity. Therefore, when the store was renovated, the rooms on the first floor were not painted, and they were all exposed red brick walls. The seam is processed in detail.

In this way, the room on the first floor looks a little rough, but when he hung up all the oil paintings he brought back from China, the mixed style of this roughness and modern oil paintings created a strong visual impact, making the rough The industrial style has a little more delicacy of post-modern style, and it looks much more comfortable.

Under these walls, there are rows of glass showcases. These glass showcases are all white showcases, made of bulletproof glass, and matched with the beige floor, making this slightly cold room, instantly. will become warm.

In front of the door near the door, there are many handicrafts that were not sold in Fangbo's store, and many Chinese-style handicrafts brought back by Jin Muchen this time. They all look very beautiful and eye-catching.

In the middle section, there will be some Chinese porcelain in the showcase. Although they are all modern works, they are all genuine products, and at least they have a history of nearly a hundred years.

Among these exhibits, apart from some of the items that were not sold in Fang Bo's store, the other parts are the broken and remnants collected by Jin Muchen in Panjiayuan, which have been restored by his Ziyu Space.

These porcelains were originally not very valuable, but once they were repaired, their worth doubled immediately. There were even a few porcelain bowls, plates, and vases that were originally used by the court. Now Jin Muchen can be considered as picking them.

And what is at the end of the store is the real boutique.

In the last showcase, there is the set of snuff bottles he won from Zangbaozhai, next to the checkout counter, and there is a closed door next to it, through which one can enter the back of the counter.

On both sides of the last counter, there are two self-ringing bells enclosed by glass covers. These two enamel-colored self-ringing bells used by Qianlong Emperor can be said to be absolutely beautiful.

Just these two self-ringing bells can already show the extraordinary temperament of this store. After all, to open an antique store, you must really have good things in order to show your extraordinaryness.

Behind the counter is a work desk that doubles as a work desk. A pair of celestial globes and globes are placed in front of the desk. In the upper left corner of the desk are two pen holders, one of which is made of green jade. The Qianlong imperial pen holder, and the other one is a bamboo carving pen holder made by Gu Yu in the Qing Dynasty. Both pen holders look beautiful.

In the front right is a set of Lanson's desktop lighters!

On the wall behind the table, there are two square holes recessed into the wall. The openings of the holes are covered with glass. One of them has a vase of colored eggs with a strange color, and the other has a set of painted tableware. It is the French Sèvres egg vase that Jin Muchen bought from China after returning to China this time, and the set of royal tableware of Frederick the Great.

Finally, on the red wall behind the desk, there are four Arthurs hanging. Impressionist paintings by Pinarjan.

The furnishings in this store alone are enough to hold the audience. Even if the people invited on the opening day are awesome, as long as they are in the antique industry, they have to kneel when they see these furnishings.

Because of these things, several of them are definitely considered national treasures. If you take out any one, it can be used as the finale of an auction.

There are quite a few good antique shops in Manhattan, but it is not uncommon to find so many treasures in one family.

Jin Muchen and the two also placed them for a few days, and finally felt that this arrangement was the most in line with their hearts.

Open a shop, of course you have to be a bit more aggressive, and the Americans don’t pay attention to modesty, low-keyness, and wealth. If you open an antique store, if you don’t have a few good things that shock the store, who can treat you as What's the matter?

In the past few days, just for the purpose of distributing invitations, the two of them have had enough headaches. First of all, it is the customer group in the hands of Fang Bo. Although his shop is opened in Flushing, there are also a group of big players who like Chinese-style antiques very much. , often visit him, these people are big and small in New York, so these people must be invited.

The second is some peers in the industry. Although peers are like enemies, sometimes peers are also very good shipping channels. After all, everyone has their own shipping channels in their hands, so sometimes it is very important to communicate with each other.

Just like old partners like Fang Bo and Rick!

Fang Bo was busy sending invitations to his client resources and good friends, while Jin Muchen simply notified Jesse and Helen. After all, he didn't know many friends in the United States.

Jesse promised on the phone that he would be there on time, while Helen shouted excitedly, and said that he would definitely bring a group of friends over to join him.

Although Helen and Candace are not quite right, but Jin Muchen feels that this connection must be notified, who is born in the top family in the United States.

On August 1st, at nine o'clock in the morning, Fang Bo and Jin Muchen opened the store, and friends who had been notified by Fang Bo were already there, one after another.

Fang Bo smiled and greeted his friends to visit the store, while Jin Muchen stood at the door and continued to wait.

After a while, an old-fashioned Lincoln car slid over, followed by Uncle Fang's old friend, Rick pushed open the door, and a glamorous girl with eggshell-yellow blond hair came down from the other side.

When he saw the girl's face clearly, Jin Muchen's breathing was stagnant, but he quickly adjusted his mood and greeted him.

"Haha, good boy, didn't expect you to gain a firm foothold in Manhattan so quickly?"

Rick and him are also acquaintances, and they gave him a warm hug when they met, while Jesse smiled at him lightly, and then handed him a bottle of red wine as a gift to celebrate his opening of the shop.

Because guests came one after another, the two didn't chat much, and many people came one after another, but they waited until about ten o'clock.

Suddenly, a convoy came from the front. There were six black Chevrolet avalanche SUVs. This convoy was amazing. Anyone with a little vision would know that this group of people must have a lot of background.

The car stopped in front of the door of the store, and then a few men in black got out of the car in front. They came to the back and opened the car door. Jin Muchen was even more stunned by the blond, cold-faced middle-aged man who got out of the car.

Someone present has recognized this blond cold-faced man, who is actually the current helm of the Hearst Group, David. Hearst!

I really didn't expect that this kid has a very hard relationship, and he was able to invite such a person at the helm of one of the most powerful families in the United States!

And follow David. The people behind Hearst are all too familiar to everyone, the current mayor of New York, Michael. Zuo Feinberg, and the first brother of the New York police, Chief Bishop, and several of their entourage.

This is amazing~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This group of top managers in New York are here at the same time. What does this mean? This store is amazing!

Jin Muchen also stared in a daze. He knew that with his current social status, he wanted to invite these officials, but he couldn't. They should all be the David. Credit to Hearst.

Looking at David. Next to Hearst, there happened to be a beautiful woman in a white dress who smiled at him, it was Helen.

Jin Muchen knew at a glance that these VIPs were probably all invited by Helen.

At this time, David had already walked in front of him, his face still cold, but this time he took the initiative to extend his hand, and Jin Muchen reached out and shook him Yingying.

"Boy, that's all I can help you with!"

David's head whispered close to his ear, but Jin Muchen could only reply in a low voice, "Thank you."

It seems that the favor that saved Helen that time is over!
