Seeing Bernard Arnault pay and admit defeat, Ye Chen said to him with satisfaction: "Mr. Arnault, the matching matter will come to an end for the time being, but our boss still has something to tell you."

Bernard Arnault hurriedly said: "Please say..."

Ye Chen said indifferently: "The matching list I showed you just now must be kept absolutely confidential, and no one can know."

Bernard Arnault said without thinking: "Don't worry, I will definitely not disclose it."

"That's good." Ye Chen smiled slightly and said: "By the way, there is one more thing that needs your help."

Bernard Arnault hurriedly asked: "What else do you have, just order!"

Ye Chen said casually: "Our boss doesn't like your store in Jin Ling. His meaning is, let you arrange to withdraw the store as soon as possible. Don't keep anyone in the original store, fire them all, especially the commission for matching goods, don't pay a cent."

Bernard Arnault himself hated this store, and hearing this, he naturally agreed without hesitation, blurted out: "Please rest assured, I will close the store today and drive everyone in the store out!"

"Good." Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction and laughed: "Since that's the case, then you keep these priceless antiques, let's say goodbye first."

As he spoke, Ye Chen stuffed the three things into his arms and left the presidential suite with Zhang Ermao.

As soon as he left the room, Zhang Ermao couldn't help but gasp and said: "Master... Master Ye... you are really too cruel... just those broken things, I don't dare to call 200,000 on the antique street, you actually called 2 billion to that old man... this is almost tens of millions of times the profit..."

Ye Chen laughed: "Zhang Ermao, you performed well today. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly. I will let Chen Zekai prepare 2 million in cash for you."

Hearing this, Zhang Ermao hurriedly waved his hand: "Master Ye, I don't mean that... you earn how much money is your ability, I don't envy it at all..."

Ye Chen said: "This is my little heart, after all, I can't let you help in vain."

Zhang Ermao hurriedly refused: "Master Ye, this is just a lift of a hand for me, and the purchase price of those things is also very cheap. I just came to help you perform a play, how can I be embarrassed to want your money?"

Ye Chen said indifferently: "If I want to give it to you, you take it, no need to be polite with me."

Zhang Ermao blurted out: "Master Ye, if you really want to give it to me, then please help me donate it!"

Ye Chen couldn't help but look at Zhang Ermao with admiration and laughed: "Zhang Ermao, you have to consider it clearly, this is not 200 yuan, it is 2 million!"

Zhang Ermao said firmly: "Yes, Master Ye, I have considered it clearly. You have already donated 2 billion, what is my 2 million?"

Ye Chen saw that his attitude was firm, so he nodded and said: "Okay, I didn't expect you, Zhang Ermao, to have this awareness. Don't worry, I will personally take out another 2 million and donate it in your name."

Zhang Ermao said excitedly: "Then thank you so much, Master Ye!"

Ye Chen remembered Zhang Ermao's ghost talk just now, which really had some level, so he asked him: "Zhang Ermao, how much money can you earn in a year by cheating on the antique street?"

Zhang Ermao said embarrassedly: "To tell you the truth, Master Ye, my income is very unstable. Sometimes I can't open a single order in a month, but sometimes, after selling a big order, I don't need to work for a few months."

As he spoke, Zhang Ermao added: "The Mona Lisa in Chinese painting style I saw just now was painted by an art student I found for 500 yuan. Under normal circumstances, I usually call for more than 80,000 on the antique street. If I sell such a piece, I usually don't set up a stall for two months, mainly because I am afraid that people will find me."

Ye Chen asked him: "If someone finds you, how do you usually handle it?"

Zhang Ermao gave a dry laugh and explained: "If they find me, they must be here to return the money. I usually look at people to serve dishes. I will fight to the end with those I can afford to offend. Anyway, the basic principle of my business on the antique street is never to return money."

Ye Chen asked again: "What if you encounter someone you can't afford to offend?"

Zhang Ermao scratched his head and laughed: "If I encounter someone I can't afford to offend, my first choice is usually to run. If I can run away, it will be fine. If I can't run away, I will honestly pay the money."

Ye Chen nodded and laughed: "In this way, you can't put every order in your pocket. How much money can you earn in a year?"

Zhang Ermao calculated in his heart and laughed: "If you count all kinds of situations, I can usually get 400,000 to 500,000 a year."

Ye Chen nodded and said: "Okay, Zhang Ermao, I will give you a base salary of 800,000 a year. In the future, don't go to the antique shop to cheat people. Wash your heart and change your face and follow Hong Wu, and listen to his orders."

Hearing this, Zhang Ermao was stunned.

He never dreamed that Ye Chen would let him stay by Hong Wu's side.

Shocked, he couldn't help but ask: "Master Ye... I... I am just a nameless person, why would you think of letting me follow Fifth Master?"

Ye Chen laughed: "Hong Wu is brave enough, but not agile enough. If there can be someone like you by his side to be his dog-headed military advisor, it must be a good thing for him."

Ye Chen does appreciate some of Zhang Ermao's advantages. Although this guy is of low birth, he can definitely be considered well-informed, and most importantly, his reaction speed is very fast, and his on-the-spot adaptability is much better than ordinary people.

If such a person is placed on the antique street, earning hundreds of thousands a year by cheating, it is really a bit wasteful.

So, he looked at Zhang Ermao and asked: "Do you want to consider it? Give me a clear answer after considering it."

"No need to consider!" Zhang Ermao hurriedly said: "Master Ye, I am willing to serve you and Fifth Master!"

For Zhang Ermao, begging for food on the antique street is actually not easy.

He not only has to design various traps to cheat people, but also has to be vigilant about others finding him. Besides, he is not popular on the antique street, and many peers look down on him, and being squeezed out and dismantled by others is also a common occurrence.

So he has always been looking forward to having the opportunity to worship a reliable pier, at least to make his future days better.

Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction and said: "In this way, I will call Hong Wu, and you go to Tianxiang Mansion to find him in a while."

But he never dreamed that Ye Chen would let him go directly to Fifth Master.

If he followed Fifth Master, in Jin Ling, he wouldn't dare to say he could walk sideways, but absolutely no one would dare to provoke him!

Thinking of this, Zhang Ermao nodded and bowed excitedly, repeating: "Okay, Master Ye! Thank you, Master Ye!"
