Chapter 115: Blocking the Supply of Goods
On the morning of the day when the exhibition was about to end and evacuate the Wenda Building, Chen Yunhan called Tang Xin and asked him to help clean up the exhibition hall and have dinner together at noon to celebrate the success of the exhibition.
Tang Xin took a taxi to Wenda Building, and as soon as he got off the car, he saw Jin Deman walking out of the building hall.
Tang Xin blocked Jin Deman at the door, opened his round eyes and asked: "Jin Deman, why do you want to frame me? When you bought 'Dexin Zhai', I at least let you sell it for an extra seven or eight million yuan, why do you want to take revenge and report me to the Cultural Relics Bureau for selling unearthed cultural relics?"
Jin Deman now took refuge in Zhao Yougong and helped him buy and sell cultural relics, with an annual salary of 600,000 yuan, and investment dividends at the end of the year, so he was complacent and didn't take Tang Xin in his eyes at all.
Therefore, when he heard Tang Xin's reprimand, not only did he not have the slightest remorse, but turned his face and said: "Boy, who are you talking to?
"I would like to ask you: Why didn't you tell me in advance when you knew I had a valuable treasure in my store? I calculated, in this transaction, your kid earned me nearly 10 million yuan, and you are embarrassed to say that I will take revenge?"
Tang Xin didn't expect him to beat him up, but blamed himself for making his money, his cheeks were purple with anger, and he pointed his finger at him and said: "The surname is Jin, you touch your conscience and think about it: If it weren't for me identifying the valuable antiques in your store, 'Dexin Zhai' would be sold for six or seven million yuan at most, which is not enough for you to repay the loan shark, and you would have been wandering on the street begging for food by now." Instead of having the slightest gratitude, you have framed me with a clear conscience, and God has eyes to let you be punished!"
Jin Deman sneered and said, "Boy, I'm afraid that God hasn't repaid me yet, and you will be retributed first." Jin Ye's message to you is here: Even if your store opens, you can't buy goods or sell a single thing. No matter how strong your ability and skills are, there is no purchase and sales channel, so you can only drink the northwest wind. If you don't believe me, we'll see!"
After saying these cruel words, he twisted his ass and got into a car waiting outside, so angry that Tang Xin was stunned, and stood outside the hall, until Chen Yunhan came out to beckon him in, and then came back to his senses......
A few days later, the "Cultural Relics Business License" of the new store "Tang Yunxuan" was completed. Tang Xin discussed with Huang Jianli and chose an auspicious day for the opening ceremony.
According to Huang Jianjian's meaning, he originally wanted to hold an opening celebration in a beautiful and lively manner. But Tang Xin considered that the store had undergone a lot of changes before it opened, and it was almost seized, and Zhu Xiaolong's case had not been completely closed, so it was not appropriate to hold a ceremony with great fanfare, so on the day of the opening, only more than ten people including Chen Yunhan, Shi Xiaolin, Huang Jianxiang, and Jiang Fujun were invited to attend.
After the official opening of "Tang Yunxuan", Tang Xin stayed in the store with Monkey and Xia Lin, busy looking for purchase channels - because all the valuable goods in the store had been sold before the opening. The remaining inventory, either fakes or small items of little value, does not attract customers at all.
Antique shops can purchase goods through the following channels:
First, the vendors who shovel the land in the countryside deliver the goods to their homes, and the shopkeepers buy good things when they see them.
The second is to buy from a regular acquaintance. Most of these acquaintances are antique collectors, and when they receive good things, they sometimes sell them to antique shops to make a profit on the difference.
The third is to buy from the descendants of celebrities. These celebrities include two kinds: the first is the original hairpin family, such as the descendants of princes and nobles in the Qing Dynasty, and the descendants of warlords and chaebols during the Republic of China. Although these families are in decline, their descendants are likely to have precious cultural relics or antiques, calligraphy and paintings. The second is the descendants of famous antique collectors. These antique collectors often have good goods to pass on to future generations, and buying antiques from them is the most reliable and profitable.
Fourth, online purchases. On the Internet, there are people selling antiques in various antique exchange groups, antique websites, forums and other places. Low value direct courier inspection, cash on delivery. If the value is high, the store will drive directly to pick up the goods. However, Tang Xin was very unimpressed with this way of purchasing, and felt that he would not buy any good goods on the Internet, so he basically rejected this method.
Of course, most stores have two other ways to buy goods: one is the fake goods provided by the "counterfeiting factories", which are mainly sold to those "sheep" who are illiterate and like to be vassally elegant, and the other is to contact the tomb robbery gang to assist them in selling the stolen goods.
Tang Xin swore not to sell fakes and fakes, nor to do illegal and criminal business, so he would not get involved in the other two informal channels of purchase at all......
When Tang Xin first bought "Dexin Zhai", Jin Deman was still full of gratitude to him and provided him with all the previous purchase channels of "Dexin Zhai". Among these channels, there are five or six shovel peddlers who regularly deliver to "Dexin Zhai", as well as a few more discerning antique collectors, as well as two descendants of famous collectors and descendants of two large families.
The above people are all good friends of Jin Deman, and they are also the main channels for the purchase of the original "Dexin Zhai".
At that time, in order to express his gratitude to Tang Xin, Jin Deman not only told Tang Xin the contact information of these people, but also called them in front of him, asking them to continue to provide supplies to the new store in the future. Those people also promised on the phone, saying that they would continue to do business with the new boss and make money together.
However, now when Tang Xin contacted these people because of lack of stock, they were like they had made an appointment, either they didn't answer his call, or they said that they didn't have the goods in their hands, or they simply said that they had reached an agreement with another store and could no longer supply to Tang Xin's store......
Tang Xin knew very well in his heart: this must be Jin Deman's troublemaker, it is estimated that he has called these old suppliers one by one, asking them not to provide supplies to "Tang Yunxuan", so even those few vendors who shovel land do not come to the store to deliver goods.
In order to confirm this judgment, Tang Xin asked Su Mingxuan to quietly inquire about a land shoveler who originally delivered goods to "Dexin Zhai". The dealer told Su Mingxuan that Jin Deman called him several times and asked him to send the antiques and cultural relics he had bought to Wenda Group, and he could buy them at a high price, and also told him not to deliver goods to Tang Xin's store in the future, otherwise, he would lose Wenda Group, a big customer......
Tang Xin estimates that other suppliers, Jin Deman, also used a similar method to prevent them from delivering goods to "Tang Yunxuan".
