Chapter 64 The Second Master of the Gu Family

Hu Chuyuan couldn't fall asleep, and his thoughts rolled in his heart.

After the busyness of the past six months and the strong winds of the salt disaster in the south of the Yangtze River, he realized more and more clearly that there are too many talents in the world. In terms of the ability to do things, he is far inferior to Chen Xiaobai and Tan Yiyun... these people.

If he wants to really achieve a great career, he can't do everything by himself. He should learn to use good talents.

People.

This is the foundation of success.

He can't do anything, but he must be good at it.

He can't do anything, but he must be good at absorbing, using and cultivating talents.

The next day, as soon as Hu Chuyuan got up, he heard that Zhang Lingpu was coming, but Shen Furong also came, and he came back urgently from Japan.

Hu Chuyuan was so happy that he hurried out of bed and went to the living room to meet the two of them.

As soon as he came down, Shen Furong got up and smiled and said, "Congratulatory to the owner!"

Zhang Lingpu also arched his hand and said, "Captain!"

Hu Chuyuan asked them to sit down with a smile and said, "Wait a minute. I haven't washed up yet. When I heard that you came, I forgot everything when I was happy!"

Shen Furong smiled and said, "Please, please. I won't be in a hurry if I wait!"

Zhang Lingpu said, "Your excellency, please!"

Hu Chuyuan nodded with a smile and went to wash briefly. When he came back, he asked Shen Furong, "Why did you come back at this time? I was about to send someone to call you!"

Shen Furong smiled and said, "My employer, I was in a hurry to come back to help you a few days ago, but Tan Yiyun asked me to stay in Japan to help buy salt, so I could only stay first. These days, I think the salt case can almost be closed. The rich gentry of Nanxun have suffered heavy losses. I don't know how many good things are going to flow into the market, so I will come back urgently to take care of it, and see if there is anything you want to tell me to do!"

Hu Chuyuan was secretly happy and thought that the big shopkeeper was the big shopkeeper.

When Hu Xueyan first planned to work in the pawnshop, he had been appointing Zhu Funian to do various matters. Later, he recruited Shen Furong. In a few years, Hu Xueyan raised Shen Furong to the position of head of the shopkeeper.

With Hu Xueyan's level of human recognition, it is enough to show that Shen Furong has the level of being a big shopkeeper.

Hu Chuyuan and Shen Furong smiled and said, "You just came. Boss Xu Run and Boss Xu just transferred hands to me a batch of antiques. It is said that they are all good things left by the Gu family in the Shanghai Concession, which can be worth about 800,000 yuan. Please check it for me in Xu's house later and bring the money to him by the way.

Shen Furong nodded and said, "Ok, I'll go there now!"

Hu Chuyuan smiled and said, "You don't have to be in such a hurry. I think you are in a hurry. I'm afraid you haven't even had breakfast. Stay and eat with me. While eating, I have something else to ask you!"

"Well, I'm really hungry!" Shen Furong laughed and didn't pretend to be polite.

Speaking of which, among the four major shopkeepers, he and Hu Chuyuan spend the most time together and are the most familiar.

Hu Chuyuan took the opportunity to take a look at Zhang Lingpu and said with a smile, "You also come to have breakfast together. We are not in a hurry about what we want to talk about. You stay with me first!"

Zhang Lingpu hugged his fist and said, "Thank you for your love!"

Hu Chuyuan nodded slightly. When the housekeeper Hu Rong arranged the breakfast, he sat down for dinner with Shen Furong and Zhang Lingpu.

Pan Limei, who has been with him during this period, is not there. Hu Chuyuan left her in Suzhou Humble Administrator's Garden to wait for news. If there is any news, he will immediately come to Shanghai to inform him.

After eating a little tea, Hu Chuyuan and Shen Furong asked, "Gu Shouzang of the Gu family, you should know each other, right?"

Shen Furong smiled and said, "How can you not know each other? The three brothers of the Gu family are average in business, but the level of appreciation of antique calligraphy and painting is first-class. They are famous in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. If I come to Shanghai, I will find them to compete with me.

Hu Chuyuan said, "Xu Run told me that when Gu Shousong fled to Hong Kong, he would rather sell the antiques in his hand at a low price than take them abroad to avoid the outflow of national treasures. After listening to it, I felt that this person was also very sorry, so I thought about waiting for the wind to pass and find a way to atone for him.

Shen Furong thought for a moment and said, "That's not impossible."

Hu Chuyuan added: "Recently, I just want to open a special antique shop for you to run, but I also want to unite with them as shareholders. What do you think?"

Shen Furong couldn't help but hesitate and said, "In terms of ability and reputation, they are better than me. Of course, it's very good to open an antique shop with them. However, the Gu family is deeply involved in the salt case, and the family property has been confiscated. I'm afraid they hate us very much!"

Hu Chuyuan said, "It doesn't matter. If you know them, you can introduce them for me, and I'll do the rest."

Shen Furong was skeptical and said, "Well, they should still be living in Yuyuan now. Let's go and have a look in the morning!"

He knew that Hu Chuyuan's visit was just a nail, but Hu Chuyuan had to have a try, so he didn't say much.

Hu Rong prepared the car, and Hu Chuyuan went there with Shen Furong and Zhang Lingpu.

The carriage stopped in front of the big yard of Xiyu Garden, and Hu Chuyuan asked Shen Furong and Zhang Lingpu to hold a worship post. At this time, the Gu family had declined, and the maids dispersed, and only a few loyal old clerks and housekeepers stayed in the house to work.

Seeing that Hu Chuyuan came to visit, the old housekeeper of Gu's house did not dare to neglect, so he immediately entered the report.

After waiting for a while, the man came back and led Hu Chuyuan and Shen Furong in.

The courtyard was empty, and everything that could be sold seemed to be sold out. A man came out of the living room. He was more than 30 years old. His eyes were full of blood, slightly swollen, his face was pale, and there was an unshaved beard slag on his face. He was dressed in a slightly old-fashioned blue satin robe, which was slightly depressed.

His spirit is very good. He came forward and hugged Shen Furong and said, "Master Shen, you are doing well recently!"

Shen Furong hugged his fist with a little embarrassment and said with a smile, "With the blessing of Second Master Gu, it's still healthy. Second Master, let me introduce you. This is our owner!"

"Master Gu" coldly and Hu Chuyuan also hugged his fist and said, "It turned out to be Master Hu. I've seen you for a long time!"

Hu Chuyuan knew that this "Second Master Gu" was Gu Shouzang, the second brother of the Gu family, and he was also the best master of the Gu family's three brothers in appreciating antique calligraphy and painting.

He arched his hand and replied, "Second Master Gu, I've been looking forward to you!"

Gu Shouzang said, "Although I don't know what's wrong with Master Hu, he is a guest from afar. Let's go into the room and talk about it!"

Hu Chuyuan nodded slightly and followed Gu Shouzang into the house. As soon as he sat down, he came straight to Gu Shouzang and said, "I went to Boss Xu yesterday to do business. I heard that your family transferred a batch of antiques to him, including many boutique national treasures. Boss Xu doesn't like collectors very much. Most of them still want to be sold. I think it's a pity, so I want to talk to Mr. Gu. Can we jointly set up a Baozhai to collect this batch of antique calligraphy and paintings?

Hearing this, Gu Shouzang was secretly angry and thought, "Do you mean to come to me?"
