Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

"Brother Daqing, is Yang Shumao here? I called him several times but he didn't answer." Shi Xiaona asked anxiously.

He Daqing frowned: "Xiao Na, Yang Shumao went out of town early this morning to do some work. Do you have any urgent business with him?"

Shi Xiaona nodded, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes: "Yes, I have something important to tell him."

He Daqing motioned for her to come in, poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her: "Xiao Na, don't be anxious, sit down and talk slowly."

Shi Xiaona sat down, holding the teacup in both hands, and took a deep breath: "Brother Daqing, I recently took over a batch of antiques, and there is a very important bronze artifact. I am not sure about its authenticity, so I would like to ask Yang Shumao to help me identify it."

He Daqing nodded: "Then bring the bronze artifact here, and I can help you take a look at it."

Shi Xiaona carefully took out a brocade box from her bag, opened the lid, and an ancient bronze ware came into view. He Daqing observed it carefully, and his brows gradually relaxed.

"Xiao Na, this bronze artifact looks very good and should be an authentic one. However, I suggest you find a few experts to confirm it to avoid any mistakes." He Daqing said cautiously.

Shi Xiaona showed a glimmer of hope in her eyes: "Brother Daqing, I feel relieved when you say that. I will find other experts to confirm it. Thank you."

He Daqing smiled and said, "You're welcome. We're all friends. Just let me know if you need any help."

Shi Xiaona looked at He Daqing gratefully: "Brother Daqing, you are such a good person. By the way, how have you been recently?"

He Daqing smiled bitterly: "It's okay, I'm busy with work, nothing special."

Shi Xiaona sighed: "I heard that Jia Xiaoying got married. It must have a big impact on you, right?"

He Daqing felt a pain in his heart, but he tried to remain calm: "It does have some impact, but I will slowly adjust to it."

Shi Xiaona nodded: "Brother Daqing, you are such a good person, you will definitely meet someone better."

He Daqing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I hope so."

The two were chatting when the phone in the office suddenly rang. He Daqing picked up the phone and heard a strange voice: "Excuse me, is this Boss He?"

He Daqing responded: "Yes, I am He Daqing, what can I do for you?"

The other party said in a low voice: "I am an antique collector. I heard that you have some precious antiques here. I want to come and see them."

He Daqing's mind moved: "Of course, when is it convenient for you to come over?"

The other party hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm free this afternoon and will be in your store around three o'clock."

He Daqing smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you in the store."

After hanging up the phone, He Daqing was looking forward to it. He knew it was a rare opportunity. Seeing this, Shi Xiaona smiled and said, "It seems that you have a big business to do today."

He Daqing nodded: "Yes, I hope it goes well."

Shi Xiaona stood up and said, "Then I won't bother you anymore. See you later."

He Daqing saw her off to the door and watched her leave, then returned to his office to prepare for the afternoon meeting. He carefully checked every antique in the store to make sure they were in perfect condition. As time passed, He Daqing's mood gradually calmed down.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the doorbell rang on time. He Daqing went to open the door himself, and was greeted by a middle-aged man who was well-dressed and elegant. He introduced himself with a smile: "I am Liu Wenqing. I have heard of Mr. He's antique shop for a long time. Today I finally have the opportunity to visit."

He Daqing smiled and extended his hand: "Mr. Liu, welcome, please come in."

Liu Wenqing walked into the store, looked around, and a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes: "Boss He's store is very elegantly decorated, antique, and it's really rare."

He Daqing said modestly: "Mr. Liu, thank you for the compliment. This is a small gift from us."

After a few pleasantries, He Daqing took Liu Wenqing to visit the various antiques in the store. Liu Wenqing showed great interest in each antique, carefully observing it and asking some professional questions from time to time. He Daqing patiently answered them one by one, and the two sides had a pleasant exchange.

"Boss He, this piece of Tang Dynasty porcelain is truly a rare treasure. It is amazing that it is so well preserved," Liu Wenqing exclaimed.

He Daqing smiled and said, "This piece of porcelain is the treasure of our store. We spent a lot of effort to get it."

Liu Wenqing nodded: "I am very interested in this porcelain. I wonder if Mr. He is willing to part with it?"

He Daqing's mind moved: "If Mr. Liu really likes it, we can talk about the price."

Liu Wenqing showed a satisfied smile: "Then let's find a place to sit down and talk in detail."

The two sat in the office and began to negotiate the price of the porcelain. After a heated discussion, the two sides finally reached an agreement, and He Daqing sold the porcelain to Liu Wenqing at a reasonable price.

After the transaction was completed, Liu Wenqing said with emotion: "Boss He, you are such a shrewd businessman. I am very satisfied with this transaction."

He Daqing smiled and said, "As long as Mr. Liu is satisfied, you are always welcome to come to our store if you need anything in the future."

Liu Wenqing nodded: "Of course, of course, Boss He is also a trustworthy person. I am happy to deal with a businessman like you."

After seeing Liu Wenqing off, He Daqing breathed a sigh of relief. The successful transaction made him in a good mood. He decided to treat Yang Shumao and Zhao Yajing to a good meal to celebrate.

In the evening, He Daqing, Yang Shumao and Zhao Yajing came to a time-honored restaurant and ordered a table of sumptuous dishes. They toasted each other and the atmosphere was very lively.

Yang Shumao raised his glass and said, "Brother Daqing, today is such a happy day. We have to celebrate!"

He Daqing smiled and raised his glass: "Thank you, today's business can be successful, thanks to your support."

Zhao Yajing also raised her glass: "Brother Daqing, we must continue to work hard to do better business in the future."

He Daqing nodded: "That's right, we have to work together to make this antique shop the best."

The atmosphere became even more lively as they drank the wine. Yang Shumao said excitedly, "Brother Daqing, have you ever thought that we can open branches and expand our business to more places?"

He Daqing thought for a moment and said, "This is a good idea, but opening a branch requires more funds and manpower. We must be fully prepared."

Zhao Yajing agreed, "Yes, opening a branch is a big project, we have to do it step by step."

He Daqing smiled and said, "That's right, as long as we work together, we can overcome any difficulties."

After dinner, the group returned to the antique shop to discuss the plan to open a branch. He Daqing drew up a detailed plan, listing the funds, manpower, and steps required to open a branch. Yang Shumao and Zhao Yajing also made many valuable suggestions, and the more the three discussed, the more confident they became.
