Chapter 20 Changing the way of doing business
As mentioned in the previous chapter, Xu Lao Er opened a scrap acquisition station and invested all the money he earned from opening a game hall, because he was not well considered, no one came to buy the scrap he bought, so he lost a lot of money.
At a loss, on this day, a southerner, originally this southerner, is to travel, accidentally saw the second son scrap acquisition station, just wandering around, this southerner, at a glance saw a big copper tripod in the pile of rags, he walked in to see, it turned out that there was an inscription ancient turn, but the age is too old, no one recognizes the inscription on it, all thought it was engraved, bird and beast pattern, that southerner, is an antique expert, he squatted in the pile of tatters to see, ten minutes, and then walked to the tattered administrator, pointed to the copper tripod asked, how much is that, the administrator took a look, said, by the pound of brass 4.5 yuan, copper, 7.6 yuan。
The southerner smiled and said, I want it, and the copper tripod will weigh me. Administrator, weighing the number of catties said, this tripod is so heavy, ninety-nine catties and nine taels, the southerners are about to pay, Xu Lao Er happened to pass by after school, watched for a while, saw the passing, coincidentally, yesterday, he watched the TV series Eastern Zhou Dynasty Chronicles, and was seeing, a general of what country, lifting the tripod, but was crushed to death by the tripod, so his little head melon, immediately thought that this tripod is a baby, opened his mouth and shouted, this tripod is not for sale, the southerner listened, asked who this is, the administrator said, this is our boss, the southerner laughed, fifteen or sixteen-year-old children, underage, how can they be bosses。
Xu Lao Er said, what's the matter, my mother is the boss, I am the boss successor, the southerner heard it, and said, okay, call your mother to talk to me, Xu Lao Er said, I said that if I don't sell it, I won't sell it, you don't have to look for anyone.
The southerners, say okay, I won't buy it. turned around and left, Xu Lao Er regretted it a little, he knew that he wouldn't buy it if he didn't buy it, it was better to sell it to him cheaply, the real thing was unlucky, and he stuffed his teeth when he drank cold water.
Angry and his employees said that he did not buy pull down. Close today and tomorrow, you have a holiday, and the scrap yard will not be open.
Hum. The salesman asked, how many days are you on vacation, and Xu Lao Er said casually, just ten days. After saying that, he left in a huff.
Ten days later, the acquisition station, continue to open the door, Xu Laoer, every day after school, go to see the information, and compare the copper tripod, study hundreds of times, and finally determined, against the thing, I can't figure it out at all, whether it is a real antique.
Fortunately, half a month later, the southerner, before leaving, came to the acquisition station again. This time he said, young man, this is an imitation of the Qing Dynasty, imitating the copper tripod of the period of King Wu of Zhou.
In this way, I'll give you 20,000 yuan, okay, Xu Lao Er said, no, 50,000, Xu Lao Er thought, I don't understand anyway, just try 50,000 to me, and he will take it.
That Southerner, all right. gave Xu Lao Er 50,000 yuan, Xu Lao Er, took the money, and asked, what are you doing, are you an expert in cultural relics?
He is an antique lover who likes to collect calligraphy and painting bronzes and take them to the antique market to buy and sell.
Also collectible. Xu Lao Er said, then you can see if I have any other good things here, I will buy them for you, for example, Qin Shihuang's urine jar, Yang Guifei's footbath, and the like.
If you like it, Zhu Yuanzhang's paper can also be taken. The price, whatever you want. As a result, the southerner, after looking for a long time, really found a rag garbage, the holy decree, the holy decree wrote, because I have been on fire recently, resulting in dry stools, hemorrhoids cracking, unbearable pain, Zhuo Zhong Aiqing, quickly visit the famous doctor, for me to relieve my worries, because of the Tai Hospital, the public medical hall, the treatment is ineffective, the Tai Hospital, half a year, and all the medical officers of the Tai Hospital, no for three days, no is allowed to bring paper, no more than three feet of paper, Qin this.
June 11 of the second year of Shunzhi. The southerner thought about it and said, this holy decree, you can't give 100,000 lines.
Xu Lao Er said, whatever, I don't understand anyway. In the future, you can take whatever you see is good, anyway, it is all scrap, and it is announced that the scrap collection station will be closed to stop the acquisition of scrap, and it will be changed to a special acquisition of books, novel essays, tapes, picture books, etc.
Slowly, the scrap yard sold the scrap, leaving only old books, old furniture and some old goods.
Xu Lao Er completely closed another scrap yard, leaving only one. I took the old books I received and opened a very large, second-hand book rental house.
Lease and sell. In this way, the old furniture was also sold, and at a tattered price, books, furniture, calligraphy and paintings, tapes, oceans, vases, and other old things were collected, and then sold to people who liked old things at a lower price than the normal market price.
For example, an old book, the market is the same, a new book, for example, a new book, the name is called, the paper is drunk and golden, the market price of the new book, twenty-nine yuan six, Xu Lao Er, collect scrap, the price of the collection, is the price of waste paper, the cost is five cents and two cents, sold to people who like to read the book, the price is eighteen yuan five.
This is cheaper than the market, but the cost is much lower than the cost of new books.
Break the furniture, hire a carpenter, repair it, pack it well, but not lose the charm of the old thing. Change the place, the beautiful name is called, Sandalwood House.
Broken piano and broken vases and the like, change places, wipe it, get a tape to put some Guangling San, Yi welcome song, get some water in the porcelain bottle, a few flowers and plants, beautiful name, listen to the perfume pavilion.
In this way, not only do you not lose money, but you make a lot of money every day, especially those, you don't recognize a few big characters, and you love to pretend to be a culture B, stupid birds, and those, kindergarten has not graduated, just holding a rouge smeared straight scum, wandering around the street, D. cranes.
I am especially willing to go to Sandalwood House and listen to the perfume pavilion, to spend money, and basically do not bargain, as for this Tianxiang Academy, most of the people who come are educated youth, not much money, but a little culture, basically belong to the poor and sour Xiucai group.
However, the number of students is relatively large. In this way, production, purchase and sales are basically formed into a one-stop. It can be said that the danger has been turned into a disaster, and the loss has been turned into a profit.
From half a year of experience, Xu Lao Er summed up, a few points of experience, now to share with all book friends, Xu Lao Er believes that as a businessman, there are such a few points, need to pay attention to, first, the cost of goods, and the demand of the market, second, the method of operation, the third must be childless and genuine, these three are fundamental, the rest is, technology, skills, packaging, and service attitude.
Innovation, in general, is to proceed from reality, the real is the fundamental, the virtual is the branch, and there must be internal unity, for example, people's hands and arms, interlocking, do well, such as the arm to make the fingers, not good, fragmented.
For example, the human hand, the arm is the root, the thumb, the middle finger, the index finger, the ring finger, the little finger, respectively, the branch, then, the role of the thumb in a company, belongs to the link leadership, the middle finger is the technical personnel, the index finger storage and transportation personnel, the ring finger sales personnel, the little finger, the grassroots labor personnel.
None of these five fingers is missing. Interlocking, if the five fingers are clenched into a fist together, the power generated is not to be underestimated, the five fingers are scattered, each for its own government, fight out, alas, it can only be said that if you have not practiced the six-vein divine sword, it will be in vain.
Even if it is a six-vein divine sword, it is more powerful than the integration of six swords. Far away, let's go back to the topic, Xu Lao Er, it took ten days, watching and listening more, asking more, and finally coming up with a new way of doing business to turn losses into profits.
There is a saying that paper can't hold the fire, as time goes by, gradually, the family found that Xu Lao Er didn't know what he was busy with all day, so his parents did not get angry after investigating and learning the truth, but just said that they supported his approach without delaying his study.
In this way, Xu Lao Er has more time to run the game hall and other businesses. But his main business is still in the game hall, every day after finishing his homework, he goes to the game hall, playing games, by the way, beating the ruffian, every day a small day, that is called one, moisturize.
On this day, Xu Lao Er was lying on the bed, idle, and was about to fall asleep, and suddenly heard that his mother said, Xu Lao Er, our pig is sick, tomorrow is Sunday, you go to the street to give the pig, buy some medicine, don't forget, buy a few more injections of anesthetics, buy a ***, come back, our cow should be killed.
Keep it away from him and give it a ***, lest it hit you. Xu Lao Er, with a hmm, fell asleep.
Let's start writing about the crossing tomorrow haha 😄
