Chapter 449: [449] You don’t even know this person?_1
“Usually, our weekly profits are at least twenty to thirty million. But this past week, all our custors have been snatched away by Elegant Pavilion, so…”
Zhang Chong hurriedly explained to Gao Shichang.
“Snatched away by Elegant Pavilion? And you can’t snatch them back? They’re human, and so are you. Is your head only for eating?”
Just the thought of Tang Feng making nearly a billion in a week while his antique store only made three million, not even a fraction of the other’s earnings, made Gao Shichang murderous.
Zhang Chong’s face was a picture of panic, “This week, it wasn’t only our business that plumted, all of Zhonghai’s antique stores saw a dramatic drop. All the custor traffic was taken by Elegant Pavilion; their promise of 100% genuine products has a huge pull on custors…”
“Imbeciles, a bunch of imbeciles. So many of you, and you can’t even deal with a greenhorn? What good are you?”
...
Gao Shichang vented his anger for a while.
Zhang Chong stood there silently, but inwardly he scoffed.
A greenhorn? I wonder who it is that has taken several big losses at the hands of this ‘greenhorn’.
If you’re so great, why don’t you go deal with him?
After Gao Shichang had his fit of anger, he slowly cald down, “Starting now, drop all your other work and concentrate on investigating this Tang Feng for . I want to know everything about him. I want details as specific as what color underwear he wears each day, and which foot he steps out the door with first. Do you hear ?”
Although Zhang Chong felt that this task was daunting, he was in no position to refuse and could only nod in agreent.
“This ti, if I take action, I must make sure this kid has nowhere to be buried!”
Gao Shichang clenched his fist tightly, and the invaluable Qianlong Imperial Kiln Teacup in his hand shattered into several pieces.
…
Not far from Elegant Pavilion, there was a street food strip.
When Tang Feng and Qin Yanan asked the staff where they wanted to go for the celebration feast, to their surprise, they actually wanted to have skewers.
This left them, who had been prepared for a big expense, both amused and exasperated.
But in the end, they went along with everyone’s wish and headed to the street food strip.
It was around eight in the evening, and the street was bustling with people coming and going endlessly.
Tang Feng and his group, all looking smart and attractive, imdiately caught the eyes of countless onlookers.
Many people, upon seeing Qin Yanan, had looks of amazent.
Especially when Qin Yanan and Tang Feng were joking around, the charm she exuded made many a man go weak in the knees.
At the sa ti, many regarded Tang Feng with hostility. What qualifications did this boy have to be so intimate with a goddess?
However, there were also many people on the street who recognized Tang Feng.
After all, this place wasn’t far from Elegant Pavilion. With the booming business there recently, many had gone to join the buzz and naturally recognized this young leading appraiser.
These people felt even more envious of Qin Yanan for climbing social ladder with such a young talent.
Handso and capable, he was the ideal type of boyfriend for every woman.
“Hi, Mr. Tang.”
“Hi, Mr. Tang…”
Every now and then, people would co up and greet Tang Feng respectfully.
This caused many passersby to be puzzled, prompting them to inquire about Tang Feng’s background.
“What? You don’t know Mr. Tang? Are you kidding ?”
“Mr. Tang? How old is he to call himself a ‘master’?”
“What do you know? Don’t judge by his age, his skills are imnse. He is the chief appraiser at Elegant Pavilion, unparalleled in his ability to appraise antiques.”
“Just an antique appraiser, what’s so amazing about that? Does it call for such a grand spectacle?”
“Hehe, call it ignorance, but you still won’t admit it. He’s not just any antique appraiser, he’s a renowned one throughout the whole Zhonghai.”
“Isn’t that still just appraising antiques? How much can he make in a month?”
“A few pennies? He makes billions in a week, can you do that?”
“Billions in a week? Don’t bother drafting tall tales, do you even know how much a billion is?”
“You still don’t believe it? Just ask around, people queue up for hundreds of ters at his doorstep every day, and many who want to buy can’t even get a chance.”
“Ah? Really? That’s too exaggerated…”
When many of the people learned about Tang Feng’s illustrious achievents, they were stunned.
This man in his twenties had achieved what they could not in their entire lives.
No wonder so many people treated him with such reverence.
If only they could please Mr. Tang to the point where a few casual tips from him could make soone rich overnight.
Tang Feng was indifferent to people’s reactions, leading his staff to a food stall.
The owner of the stall obviously recognized him and ca scurrying over with nervous care, “Boss Tang, your presence graces our humble establishnt; please, co inside.”
“No need, just join so tables outside; we’ll eat out here,” he said.
“Yes, of course,” the owner imdiately directed the waiters to put several tables together to make enough space for them.
Then the owner quickly approached Tang Feng, “Boss Tang, I picked up a jade Buddha at the antique street a couple of days ago. I wonder if you could take a look? Today’s al, I’ll waive the bill for you.”
Tang Feng chuckled, “There’s no need for a free al, but I can take a look for you.”
“Thank you so much, sir,” said the owner. Before pulling out the jade Buddha, he stealthily glanced at his wife busying herself inside, then pulled a jade Buddha out of his pocket.
The jade Buddha was about the size of two thumbs, crystal clear, and quite aesthetically pleasing to look at.
Tang Feng glanced at it once and then shook his head with a smile, “Boss, you bought this without telling your wife, didn’t you?”
The owner scratched his head and laughed, “My wife doesn’t let buy these things, but I can’t help myself, so I didn’t dare to tell her.”
Tang Feng nodded, “Then you better find a secluded place to toss it secretly. Don’t let her find out, or you’ll be kneeling on a washboard tonight.”
The owner was a smart man and imdiately understood the implication behind Tang Feng’s words, but he couldn’t hide his disappointnt.
“Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Tang, I understand.”
