Chapter 93: I want to open a pawn shop

"Smack!"

A clear sound of glass shattering sounded, and immediately after, He Tian's angry voice exploded in the empty room.

"Chen Wentian is really a useless waste, I helped him open the way, bought off the museum's director Zhang, but he still lost to Su Chen, and I was angry. ”

Lu Ming and San'er glanced at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

Then, San'er stood up boldly and said, "Young Master, what now?" Recently, that Su Chen has become famous, and even the business of our Gu Shengzhai has been somewhat affected. ”

"What to do, what to do, you ask me what to do, then who does labor ask,. ”

He Tian took a few breaths, and several swear words burst out of his mouth, and the whole person looked extremely irritable.

Lu Ming saw that He Tian's mood was not right, his eyes flickered a few times, and said: "Young master, the master has instructed, during this time, don't trouble Su Chen, after all, the master is already preparing for that matter, and there can be no accidents." ”

In normal times, Lu Ming wouldn't care if He Tian dealt with Su Chen or not, but now it's different, that matter is exactly related to his interests, and no one can destroy it!

As soon as he heard this, a touch of unwillingness flashed in He Tian's eyes, but he also knew that if he dared to come nonsense during this time and didn't say anything else, He Wenchang estimated that he would really have to peel off his skin.

"The surname Su will let you live happily for a while, and Lin Xiongye!"

......

The next day, in the morning, the Treasure Pavilion.

"Brother Su, this is this month's account book, you can take a look. ”

Because it was the end of the month, Huang Chuan, as the deputy shopkeeper, took the time to make the bill in the past few days.

"Hmm. ”

took the account book and looked at the dense income and expenditure on it, and couldn't help but feel a little big.

Because Su Chen now has some fame in the antique circle of Jinnan City, the income of the Treasure Pavilion this month has increased by 500,000 compared to the previous month.

Don't underestimate the 500,000, you must know that Su Chen has served as the treasurer of the Treasure Pavilion for less than half a month, and almost all of the 500,000 have been earned this week, if the current level is maintained, Su Chen is confident that the net profit of the Treasure Pavilion will reach two million a month!

It's just that he also knows it's impossible.

His fame can only be used for a while, and even if Lin Xiongye becomes the president of the Cultural and Entertainment Association on Changgong Street, it is impossible to say that he will directly wipe out the remaining twelve antique shops.

After all, antiques are really high-end, and even if you are rich, you can't buy antiques every month.

After putting down the account books, Su Chen began to think about how to open up a new situation.

"Su Chen!"

Just as he was thinking, a pleasant voice full of joy came from the door of the store, and before Su Chen could turn around, a faint fragrance rushed into his nose, and a slender figure appeared in front of him.

"Wanqing, why are you here?"

The person who came was Lin Wanqing.

"What's the matter, can't I come? As the eldest lady of the Treasure Pavilion, I came today to inspect. ”

Lin Wanqing lowered her nose, raised her delicate chin, and looked around the store, "Look at you, the shopkeeper, how you manage the store, if the management is not good, I will tell my father and let him deduct your salary." ”

Seeing Lin Wanqing like a proud white swan, Su Chen couldn't help but sweat, saying that, it seemed that he hadn't even received a month's salary.

"Okay, Miss Lin, please do it, come, serve tea, serve the best tea. Su Chen hurriedly stood up, helped Lin Wanqing to sit down, and then shouted loudly.

"Hey, hey. ”

Lin Wanqing smiled, looking like she knew you, and then lowered her head, just saw the account book on the table, and opened it casually.

At this look, she couldn't help but show surprise.

"Su Chen, the sales of the Treasure Pavilion this month are much higher than last month, and there is a clear gap between the second half of the month and the first half of the month. ”

Seeing Lin Wanqing looking through the account books seriously, Su Chen took the teacup from Huang Chuan's hand and put it in Lin Wanqing's hand, and at the same time asked curiously: "You can still read the account books?"

"Cut, underestimate me, I majored in finance in college, and I can see this simple account book at a glance. "Lin Wanqing looks like I'm very powerful.

Hearing this, Su Chen was a little stunned, and wanted to come to Lin Wanqing to study finance, probably in order to be able to help Lin Xiongye share some of the burden.

"Su Chen, you are so capable, it seems that I am going to suggest to my father that you increase your salary. Lin Wanqing quickly finished reading the account book, then raised her head and smiled.

Just as Su Chen was about to say something, a middle-aged man walked in, still holding a package wrapped in blue cloth tightly in his arms.

This person looked honest, and as soon as he came in, he looked around, and then when he saw Su Chen, he walked towards him.

"Do you collect antiques here?"

Seeing that the business came to the door, Su Chen wanted Huang Chuan to receive it, but when he turned around, he found that there was no one at the counter, so he said to the middle-aged man: "Accept it, as long as it's a real guy, you can accept it." ”

"It must be true, this is my family's ancestral, you see. The middle-aged man hurriedly picked up the blue package, and when he opened it, there was a small ice-cracked celadon bowl inside.

"Come this way. Su Chen took the celadon bowl and led the middle-aged man to the counter, and Lin Wanqing also followed curiously.

"Uncle, this bowl is indeed an old thing, the ice cracked celadon bowl of Longquan kiln, in this way, I can give 50,000 yuan, what do you think?" Su Chen did not explain the origin of this bowl to the middle-aged man in detail, and directly offered a moderate price.

Although the porcelain of Longquan kiln is very famous, but the expensive ones are generally produced by the official kiln, this celadon bowl is just a private kiln, and the value is about seventy or eighty thousand at most, and he spent fifty thousand yuan to buy it, which is already a lot.

"Fifty thousand. The middle-aged man hesitated, "Then can I redeem it in the future?"

"Uncle, I'm not a pawn shop here, I'm a one-shot deal. If you sell it to us, when you have the money, you can come back and buy it, but it will definitely not be 50,000 yuan at that time, and I don't guarantee that it will be there by then. Su Chen explained with a smile.

"Ah, that's it, then I won't sell it. ”

Hearing that he couldn't redeem it, the middle-aged man immediately shook his head, wrapped the small bowl and left directly.

Su Chen didn't care, business is like this, it is impossible to succeed every time.

But just as he was about to leave the counter, Su Chen suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong with you? Hey, what are you doing? Lin Wanqing wanted to chat with Su Chen for a while, but when she looked back, Su Chen was standing there still, and her eyes kept moving, which made her a little surprised.

"Ha, I thought about it, I'm such a genius!"

Suddenly, Su Chen screamed, almost startling Lin Wanqing, but immediately became more curious: "What did you think of?"

"I thought about how to expand the business of the Treasure Pavilion, no, it is to expand the business of your Lin family. ”

Su Chen smiled mysteriously.

In the evening, after listening to Su Chen's suggestion, Lin Xiongye was slightly stunned.

"You mean, a pawn shop specializing in antiques?"

After thinking about how to continue to expand the business of the Treasure Pavilion, Su Chen directly came to Wanqingzhai with Lin Wanqing, ready to discuss with Lin Xiongye.

And the attention he thought of was to open a pawn shop.

"Yes, Uncle Lin, I have studied the shops under your name before, there are five in total, all of them are antique shops, although they are distributed in various areas of Jinnan City, but in terms of business coverage, there are still some deficiencies. ”

Su Chen said seriously.

Antique shops and pawn shops are completely different concepts, but in terms of business models, they can complement each other.

To put it simply, the antique shop is mainly responsible for buying, and the pawn shop is mainly responsible for collecting!

Seeing Su Chen's serious appearance, Lin Xiongye couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "Nephew Su Xian, I'm afraid your idea won't work." ”

"It doesn't work? Why?" Su Chen was stunned for a moment, completely unexpecting Lin Xiongye to say this.

In his opinion, there is no problem with the operability of this matter.

Even Lin Wanqing was very puzzled, when she heard Su Chen's plan just now, she thought it was a brilliant idea.

Sensing the confusion between the two, Lin Xiongye did not pretend to be mysterious, sighed lightly, and said: "The reason why it doesn't work is not that your idea doesn't work, but that the market doesn't allow it." Have you ever heard of the Star Pawnshop?"

"Star Pawn Shop?" Hearing this name, Su Chen's heart moved, and he had a little guess.

Seeing Su Chen's demeanor, Lin Xiongye knew that Su Chen should have thought of something, and then said: "Xingchen Pawnshop is a large-scale pawnshop under the name of Xingchen Group and famous in the entire Jiangnan Province, Jinnan, his power is even more deep-rooted. ”

"Let's put it this way, as the most famous antique city in the entire Jiangnan Province, Jinnan had about 30 pawnshops ten years ago, and now, in addition to the Xingchen pawn shop, there are less than five left! ”

Speaking of this, Lin Xiongye smiled as if he had thought of something interesting, and said: "Wentian Pavilion was originally a purely pawn shop, but it was overwhelmed by the Xingchen Pawnshop, and it was forced to change its business model in the past few years. The cultural relics seminar held by Wentian Pavilion this time, in fact, the deeper reason is that he still wants to expand his influence and climb out of the shadow of the Xingchen pawnshop. ”

"Nephew Su Xian, you now know why I said it wouldn't work. ”

"So that's the case, it's not that this method is bad, it's that we can't compete with the Star Pawnshop, right?" Su Chen exhaled, his expression a little depressed.

I finally came up with an idea, but I didn't expect it to be this kind of hellish opening situation.

Seeing that Su Chen was a little depressed, Lin Xiongye chuckled lightly and said with relief: "Nephew Su Xian, you don't have to be discouraged, after all, you just came to Jinnan and don't know the market here." ”

Even so, I don't know why, Lin Xiongye saw Su Chen's appearance, but his heart was a little lighter.

All along, he felt that Su Chen was too "tall".

It's not arrogant, it's not cold, it's the kind of high that "will be at the top and see the mountains at a glance". Although Su Chen is humble and polite, it is this feeling of "high" that makes Lin Xiongye a little worried about his daughter.

He naturally knew that his baby daughter had a good impression of Su Chen, but Su Chen's performance seemed to be not in the same world as his daughter.

Now that he saw that Su Chen was also stumped by one thing, he felt that it was a good thing. At least the distance between the two people was inadvertently shortened.

Just when Lin Xiongye was secretly happy in his heart, Su Chen suddenly said, "Uncle Lin, this matter may not be impossible!"

"Huh?" Lin Xiongye was stunned, not understanding the meaning of Su Chen's words.
