Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

The screen of the mobile phone gradually dimmed. Wang Qiang put down the phone, continued to lean on the sofa, and closed his eyes. His thoughts gradually calmed down, and his heart was filled with a sense of peace. He knew that although there were many challenges in the future, he was fully prepared.

As time went by, Wang Qiang gradually relaxed. He decided to use this time to sort out his thoughts and plans to ensure that he could face everything in the best condition when he returned to work. He took out his notebook and began to write down his thoughts and plans for the opening of the antique museum, trying to sort out his goals and steps.

During the writing process, Wang Qiang's heart gradually calmed down. He recalled every step he took in preparing the antique museum, from site selection to decoration, from planning to implementation, and he recorded every detail one by one. He knew that although these preparations were arduous, they also laid a solid foundation for his dream.

Just as Wang Qiang was immersed in his thoughts, the doorbell suddenly rang. Wang Qiang stood up, walked to the door and opened it. Standing outside the door was Li Xiao, who smiled and said, "Wang Qiang, I heard that you went home to rest, so I came to see you. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Wang Qiang was surprised and touched. He knew that Li Xiao had always supported and cared about him. He invited Li Xiao into the house and started chatting with her. Li Xiao sat down at Wang Qiang's home and talked to him about the opening plan and preparations for the antique museum.

"Wang Qiang, I know you've been very busy lately, and it's important for you to go home and rest. However, I also want to know about your further plans for the antique museum. If there's anything I can help with, just let me know." Li Xiao said with concern.

Wang Qiang looked at Li Xiao gratefully, his heart full of gratitude. "Thank you, Li Xiao. I really need some time to sort out my thoughts. Your support is very important to me."

Li Xiao nodded and responded with a smile: "You're welcome. We are all family, and it is natural for us to support each other. The preparations for the opening are important, but your health and mood are equally important."

Wang Qiang felt warm in his heart. He knew that it was his greatest luck to have such a friend and partner. He continued to discuss the plan of the antique museum with Li Xiao, sharing his ideas and experiences. In the process, he felt a sense of peace and satisfaction that he had never felt before.

Time passed quietly in the relaxed conversation, and Wang Qiang's mood became more relaxed and happy. He realized that although there are still challenges in the future, as long as he maintains a positive attitude and overcomes the difficulties in front of him, he will be able to realize his dream.

After Li Xiao left, Wang Qiang continued to sort out his thoughts and plans at home. He knew that although the rest time was limited, he had gained a lot of inspiration and relaxation in the process. He believed that after a short adjustment, he would be able to re-invest in the upcoming opening of the antique museum with a brand new state and energy.

He decided to open a small shop, mainly selling all kinds of antiques and handicrafts. This decision was not made on a whim, but after careful consideration. Although the Siheyuan is old, it is strategically located and is a perfect place to hide antiques. His family was a little worried about this decision at first, but with Wang Qiang's persistence, they finally supported him.

Wang Qiang cleared out a vacant room in the courtyard and began to do some simple renovation. He did it himself, and although his movements were a little rusty, he was full of enthusiasm, as if everything was paving the way for his dream. After the renovation was completed, he began to look for antiques and handicrafts. Every day, he went to some flea markets and antique streets and carefully selected each item. For Wang Qiang, there is a story behind every antique, and he hopes to bring these stories to his customers.

On the day of the store opening, Wang Qiang dressed up specially, wearing clean and tidy clothes, trying to make himself look more professional. Although he was a little nervous, he always remained calm. Although the layout of the store is simple, it is full of a strong ancient atmosphere. Wang Qiang placed every item in the store in an orderly manner, hoping to leave a good impression on customers.

Business was not very good in the first few days of opening, and there were only a few customers coming to the store. Wang Qiang did not lose heart, as he knew that this was just the beginning and success would take time. He decided to hold some small exhibitions in the store and invite some antique lovers and collectors to visit. Although these activities were small in scale, they attracted a lot of attention. He gradually met many interesting people, and their support and suggestions benefited Wang Qiang a lot.

As time went by, Wang Qiang's shop gradually became known to more people. The sales of antiques and handicrafts also improved. Wang Qiang continued to enrich his product range, adding some unique collections, and gradually established a fixed customer base. His business gradually improved, and the old neighbors in the courtyard were sincerely pleased with his success.

Although business is gradually getting better, Wang Qiang remains modest and cautious. He often reflects on his business strategy, constantly adjusting and optimizing it. He understands that true success lies not only in the accumulation of wealth, but also in the care for every customer and the respect for every antique. He hopes that his store is not only a place for transactions, but also a platform for cultural exchange, so that more people can feel the charm of antiques and the depth of history.

With Wang Qiang's efforts, the business of Siheyuan gradually prospered. He not only realized his entrepreneurial dream, but also brought new vitality and hope to Siheyuan. Wang Qiang knew that the road to success was full of challenges and hardships, but he was willing to use his efforts and wisdom to meet these challenges and keep fighting for his dream.

As the store in the courtyard gradually prospered, Wang Qiang's life became increasingly busy. Although his store had attracted many customers, Wang Qiang still maintained a sense of anxiety and expectation for the development of the business. He knew that in order to further expand his business, in addition to doing a good job in the store, he also needed to go out of the courtyard and explore a broader market.

So, he decided to open a stall with his long-time friend Xu Damao. Xu Damao was Wang Qiang's playmate since childhood and the partner he trusted most. Xu Damao had a cheerful personality and was methodical in his work, which formed a sharp contrast with Wang Qiang's calmness. The two hit it off and decided to set up a stall at a market in the city.

"Qiangzi, this market has many regular customers. Are you ready?" Xu Damao asked while packing.

Wang Qiang smiled nervously: "I'm ready, but I'm still a little nervous. This market has a large flow of people and fierce competition. It's not certain whether we can break into the market."
