Chapter 94 Acquisitions
"Uncle Lin, even if the Star Pawn Shop is a Big Mac and covers the entire Jinnan, I am confident that I can move this Big Mac away and replace it with the name of the Treasure Pavilion!"
Lin Xiongye sat at the counter of Wanqingzhai, recalling in his mind what Su Chen had said.
"Oh, stinky boy, the ignorant are fearless, let him hit the wall. Picking up the teacup and taking a sip gently, Lin Xiongye was not optimistic about Su Chen.
Xingchen pawn shop, behind it is Xingchen Group, the industry is all over Jiangnan Province, how can it be said that victory will be defeated.
On the noisy street, Lin Wanqing and Su Chen walked side by side.
"Su Chen, are you really confident that you will bring down the Star Pawnshop?" Lin Wanqing asked softly.
"Nope. Su Chen's answer was very simple.
"Ah, no, then you ......" Lin Wanqing opened her mouth slightly, full of astonishment.
"Hehe, blow it out first, as for how to finish it, there will always be a way. Su Chen chuckled lightly and winked at Lin Wanqing.
......
In the afternoon, Su Chen did not continue to stay in the store, but took a taxi to Jinnan City, and the main place to go was the Xingchen Pawnshop.
In the whole of Jinnan, there are nearly ten branches of Xingchen Pawnshop, all of which are located in the bustling area, with a large flow of people, almost including the antique gathering area of Jinnan City.
Except for Changgong Street.
This is also easy to explain, there are a total of thirteen antique shops in the entire Changgong Street, three of which are the three of the only five time-honored pawnshops left after Lin Xiongye said that they were suppressed by Xingchen Pawnshop.
It can be said that Changgong Street is the last living soil for the rest of the pawnshops.
"That's ruthless. β
After understanding this, Su Chen also took a deep breath, feeling that it was indeed quite difficult to move this giant away.
After visiting a few Xingchen pawn shops, Su Chen went to learn about the remaining two time-honored pawn shops, and the one in front of him called Mingliu Pawn was the last one.
Stepping in, the whole pawnshop looks very classical, not the kind of deliberately built classical, but natural, from the inside out.
In other words, as soon as you enter, you know that this store is a long-established store.
"Welcome, sir, are you pawning or ransome?"
In front of the counter, a beautiful woman with a good figure said politely.
"Ah, I'll take a look first. β
Su Chen naturally didn't come to do business, so he said casually and began to observe in the pawnshop.
The beauty didn't care, anyway, there was no one in the store for half a day.
The interior space of this pawn shop is quite large, but there are very few antiques on the display case, and they look shabby.
"Sir, you see that these are all dead, if there is a fancy to it, our pawn shop has recently vomited blood and sold it at a five-fold discount. β
The beauty at the counter saw that Su Chen was looking very seriously, and the occupational disease attacked, and couldn't help but say.
"Why is it so cheap?"
Su Chen was a little surprised, although only a few of these things in the display case were antiques, and some of them were also very low, but in any case, if they were sold at a fifty percent discount, it was estimated that they would not even be able to get back the cost.
The beauty pursed her lips, as if she had found what she had confided, and spit it out.
"What's the reason, I can't go on. In fact, the business in the store has not been very good in recent years, but this pawn shop has been passed down by our boss's grandfather at that time, and the boss has been reluctant to close the door, but now it is not good, the business is too bad, sometimes no one comes for a day, No, you are still the first person to come today. The basic vitality of Europe could not be maintained, and our boss had no choice but to close the door. β
"The location here is not bad, how can no one come for a day?" Su Chen was a little unconvinced.
"No way, look at the other side. The beautiful woman pouted at the door.
Su Chen walked to the door and looked out, just in time to see the five gilded characters of "Xingchen Pawnshop", the faΓ§ade was indeed much more magnificent than this time-honored pawnshop.
"I see, it seems that this Star Pawnshop is very powerful. Su Chen lowered his head slightly and muttered softly a few times, having an idea in his heart, and then walked to the counter and asked, "This pawn shop, what price is your boss going to sell?"
"If you connect the faΓ§ade, it's probably more than two million, what's the matter, why are you asking this?" replied the beauty.
Su Chen didn't answer her, but secretly pondered to himself.
The geographical location of the Mingliu pawnshop is very good, with a large flow of people, and it is next to the antique street, and the distance from the Changgong Street where the Wanqingzhai and the Treasure Pavilion is located is not very far, and it happens to be in the middle.
And more than two million, although Su Chen is not very clear about the housing prices in Jinnan, but in his opinion, this price is indeed not high.
After calculating the remaining funds in his hand, he made four million at the small auction in Gu Shengzhai at the beginning, and there was no problem at all when he bought this store.
Thinking of this, he smiled and said to the beauty: "Beauty, please call your boss over, just say that there is a big business to discuss with him." β
About an hour later, a middle-aged man with a lean figure and a decent appearance came to the pawn shop, and as soon as he entered, he got straight to the point: "Which boss wants to buy this place?"
The beauty hurriedly walked over and whispered to the middle-aged man, he immediately moved his gaze to Su Chen, who was sitting on the side, and saw that it was a young man, and his brows suddenly furrowed.
"Hello, I am the owner of this pawn shop, Huang Pinqing. Huang Pinqing walked up to Su Chen and stretched out his right hand.
"Hello Boss Huang, it's good if you call me Su Chen. Stretched out his hand and shook it with him, Su Chen didn't say any nonsense, and was straightforward, "I want to buy here, I don't know what the price is?"
"Do you really want to buy it?" Huang Pinqing obviously still didn't believe that such an ordinary-looking young man would have so much money, and asked again.
"Am I joking?" Su Chen smiled lightly, "Boss Huang, you can quote directly." β
"Well, in that case, then you're welcome. This pawnshop is the inheritance of my ancestors, and I have a deep affection for it, and the price is 2.8 million. Although he doubted whether Su Chen could have money, once it really involved interests, he quickly recovered his nature as a businessman.
"It's expensive. Su Chen said lightly.
"Is this still expensive? Mr. Su, you don't look at the location here, don't talk about the flow of people or anything, the traffic is also very convenient, and my pawnshop is a century-old shop, to put it mildly, many objects here are old, they are all antiques, plus these dead objects inside, 2.8 million, these are all included together. β
Huang Pinqing immediately shook his head again and again, looking at the posture, as if he would not drop a penny.
Looking at Huang Pinqing with a resolute face, Su Chen walked to the door, gestured to the Xingchen pawnshop opposite, and said with a smile: "Boss Huang, I know what you said." However, I believe that you are in your current situation, so I should not talk about it. Although your pawnshop is a century-old shop, it has no value at all for me, because it is impossible for me to use your century-old brand to do business, as for the antiques you mentioned, I took a look, and the total value is only 100,000. So, you'd better quote a real price. β
Following the direction indicated by Su Chen, Huang Pinqing saw the Xingchen pawnshop opposite, and his face suddenly became a little tangled.
I didn't expect to meet an expert. β
muttering a few times in his heart, Huang Pinqing said helplessly: "Okay, two million .6 million, this price is fair enough, right?"
"Two million two hundred thousand, I will pay the full amount immediately!" Su Chen stretched out two fingers, and although his tone was light, he had an unquestionable attitude.
Huang Pinqing almost jumped up when he heard this price at first glance, but when he saw Su Chen's serious face, he hesitated for a long time before he gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, two million and two hundred thousand, it must be paid in full at one time!"
"No problem, I believe your contract should be there, sign the contract and go directly to the nearby bank to transfer money. Su Chen agreed without hesitation, and at the same time sighed a little in his heart.
Originally, the price in his heart was about 2.5 million, but Huang Pinqing could agree to the price of 2.2 million, and he also said from the side that Xingchen Pawnshop was really under great pressure on him, and it had reached the point where he couldn't support it.
When the beautiful woman on the side saw this scene, her little mouth was so shocked that she couldn't close it. She didn't expect that it was less than half an hour, and how she could make a deal of more than two million transactions under her nose, which made her feel like she was still in a dream.
Because he had already planned to sell here, Huang Pinqing's preparations were very complete, including contracts, inks, and even disclaimers.
After signing the contract, Su Chen went to the bank with Huang Pinqing to transfer the account as soon as possible, and at this point, this pawnshop is completely owned by Su Chen.
And after seeing the pawnshop change hands, the beautiful woman left without saying a word.
After all, the boss has changed, so she will naturally lose her job.
Su Chen didn't keep her, the pawnshop was different from other places, especially the pawnshop that Su Chen was going to do was a pure antique type pawn shop, and the staff would definitely have the ability to identify antiques.
As for that beauty, she is purely a shopkeeper, and she doesn't know anything about the antique industry, so it's naturally not suitable to stay here.
After Huang Pinqing received the money, he simply left, leaving Su Chen alone in front of the empty pawn shop.
The reason why he bought this pawnshop by himself was purely because Su Chen wanted to try it himself, and he was actually not 100% sure that he could make it, so he had no intention of asking Lin Xiongye for money at all.
"The shelves of this pawn shop are all there, and with a slight change in the style of the shop, it can be reopened soon. But it's imperative to sort out everything here. β
After having a plan, Su Chen directly called Huang Chuan and asked him to bring all the employees of the Treasure Pavilion over first to sort out the pawn shop.
After receiving Su Chen's call, Huang Chuan did not hesitate, and immediately rushed over with all eight employees of the Treasure Pavilion.
After seeing that Su Chen actually bought a pawn shop without making a sound, everyone was speechless in shock, and called Su Da Shopkeeper rich.
It took more than three hours for many people to do things, and some things in the store that had nothing to do with antiques were directly given to his employees, and some old and half-damaged things were also thrown away by him.
After he was done, looking at the pawn shop that had already seemed empty, Su Chen felt very satisfied.
"Brother Su, I just took a look, this pawnshop has two floors, and the basic configuration is in good condition, if you don't have to update it all, just a makeover, it will be open in about a week. β
After browsing the entire store, Huang Chuan walked to Su Chen's side.
"There is no need to overhaul, after all, what we have to do is still a pawn shop, there are some buildings here, or old, if all of them are replaced, it is a pity, and it is better to reflect our style if they are kept. β
Su Chen looked at the obviously modern style Star Pawn Shop on the opposite side and said, "Our real opponent is him, if it's the same as them, it won't be interesting." β
