Chapter 1888 Williams’ Antique Shop

(Chapter 1888, this number is auspicious!)

"How about you invest?"

"Me?" Yang Cheng pointed to his nose and rejected the other party without thinking, "Forget it, this project is too small, but you can ask Charles~"

Charles was suddenly called by name and was startled. However, Yang Cheng spoke and still had to give him face, "I will give you an answer after I go back and think about it~"

To put it bluntly, a museum that rises because of messages and messages, no matter how gimmick it is, the height of the ceiling has already been decided, and it really doesn’t have much future. Of course, it won’t lose money.

After dinner, Yang Cheng said goodbye, but Arthur Brown left with them. This guy is a shrewd businessman. Since Yang Cheng showed interest, how could he not grasp it?

Williams' antique store is about 4 blocks away from Mercer House, and it takes less than 10 minutes to drive there.

Night had just fallen, and a light rain fell before nightfall, adding a touch of suspense to the winter night in this small southern town.

When he arrived at the antique store, the employees had already left work, so Arthur had to open the lock himself. He still used the most common copper lock. In what age is this, there is no electronic lock?

Just when Yang Cheng was surprised, Arthur had already opened the first door curtain, revealing the second glass door. At this time, the double unlocking method of fingerprint and password was needed.

Without Yang Cheng asking, Arthur took the initiative to answer the question, "The outer copper lock has been with my uncle for decades. After I took over, I used the outermost copper lock to commemorate it. It has more symbolic meaning."

Yang Cheng nodded when he heard this. At this time, Arthur had already turned on the light, and he felt like he had a private room.

Speaking of which, people who visit antique stores in the United States are generally older people who have money and leisure and know how to enjoy life. Young people probably don’t even know which way to open the door of an antique store.

Antique stores are different from flea markets, at least the environment inside the store is not comparable to that of a flea market.

Especially antique shops like Williams', which have been in business for nearly a hundred years. As soon as you entered the store, you were infected by the strong artistic atmosphere inside. Yang Cheng was fine, but Luo Yue felt like she had entered the world of chocolate, wishing she could take everything in. .

There are many antique shops in the United States, both in big cities and small towns. Most of them are small family businesses, and some powerful ones have become chains. The decoration and style are similar to those of European antique shops.

However, it is completely different from the antique shops in country Z.

European and American antique stores are not the same as "antiques" in the Chinese context. What they sell are not all high-end, priceless cultural relics and top luxury goods, but old objects with a sense of history and art, such as pots, pans, pots, pans, etc. Furniture and accessories, jewelry and clothes, books and photos, oil paintings and sculptures, garden tools, etc. can all be found in the high-end antique stores.

Williams' antique store is no exception. Just one floor gives you the feeling of visiting a large supermarket.

Yang Cheng casually picked up a crystal cup on the entry display cabinet. This is used by foreigners to drink milk, but it doesn't matter if you want to use it to drink. Anyway, it's up to you. Look at the price, it's 2.14 US dollars. , or the price includes tax. If the aunts see this price, then they will buy out all the crystal cups in this store?

There are crystal cups with similar shapes at home. Of course, both the workmanship and the materials used are more than one level higher than this cup that only sells for $2, but this $2 one is not bad either. The key is that it is an old thing in this life, and in the antique world It is generally accepted that old ones are worth more than new ones, and this is the same all over the world.

I lifted it up and looked at the crystal chandelier above my head. I found that the color and texture of the cup were very good. The key is that compared with the price of 2 US dollars, it was definitely a great value.

Putting down the cup and looking around, I found that this old shop, which looks small on the outside, can be said to be all-inclusive, comparable to a large antique market. The collections are densely displayed on the shelves. You can pick and look at them at will, even during the day. The staff followed around. Anyway, particularly valuable items are locked in glass cabinets. If you want to see them, go to the administrator to get the key. Even if you break the other items, you will be compensated according to the price.

Of course, in order to make shopping more convenient, if you pick something, you don’t have to carry it with you. The staff will give you a numbered folder to help you take away the items and put them in each customer’s exclusive storage box. Finally, the number will be reported and the checkout will be unified. We will pack it for you so that you can walk out of the door safely. After you leave, the antique store will not be responsible for the things you buy.

Yang Cheng was still wondering where the antiques from Egypt were. Unexpectedly, Luo Yue jumped out first, jumping for joy among the shelves like a bird returning to its nest. There were all kinds of champagne glasses, red wine glasses, milk glasses, honey jars, etc. Luo Yue's eyes lit up when she saw the sugar bowls, decanters, silver pots, silver trays, silver candlesticks, silver knives and forks, and sugar cube holders, and she wanted to take them all home.

Women seem to have a talent for shopping at IKEA. They like the feeling of decorating their home with their own hands. Yang Cheng simply said, "Just buy it if you like it. Anyway, there is a lot of space at home, so you can use it when you buy it back."

When Luo Yue heard this, she said excitedly, "Really? Then I really bought it?"

Poor Arthur Brown, the heir to a dignified family and the owner of an antique shop, has now become a working girl, holding a shopping basket and constantly hooking up the items she likes under Luo Yue's command.

The first floor is basically full of household antiques, while the second floor is mainly antique jewelry, with a wide variety of diamond and gemstone jewelry.

But compared to the first floor, Luo Yue's excitement level was obviously lower. Also, no matter how good the jewelry here was, it was not as valuable as what Yang Cheng gave her.

On the third floor, there are oil paintings, table lamps and furniture, all of which are large pieces. Yang Cheng also saw a double bed from 200 years ago, and he didn't know if this bed could withstand 'exercise'.

In short, every item in the store that exudes the luster of time is as exquisite as a work of art and has strong traces of daily life.

The price is also very close to the people, ranging from a few dollars to a few hundred dollars. It is affordable for most people who want to buy it. It does not feel that it is too expensive to reach. It makes people feel that the better days are right in front of them and they can do it within their ability. Enjoy a more pleasing life.

At this time, the wind chimes used to welcome guests downstairs rang, indicating that guests were arriving. Following Arthur downstairs, he saw an old gentleman wearing a bow tie and a black windbreaker standing in front of the container. Arthur obviously knew this man. The man came forward with a smile, "Charlotte, why are you here?"

"I happened to be passing by and saw that the lights were still on in the store, so I came in to take a look. I happened to want to buy some crystal red wine glasses, but I broke the ones at home~"

"So that's it, I'm receiving an important client, you can do whatever you want~"
