Chapter 133: The Gap

I went back to the Li family's old house first, and I didn't care that it was late at night in the United States, so I called Oliver directly.

"Chen, even though you're the boss, I'll be angry if you don't have a valid reason," Oliver said in a daze, apparently sleeping, "Don't you know that lack of sleep is the natural enemy of a woman's beauty." ”

"And Miss Oliver, who is as beautiful as an angel, do you want your beauty, or your dollars?"

Oliver's eyes widened suddenly, "Do you still need to ask, of course it's dollars!" Chen, have you done two hundred sets of goods?"

"No, there is not enough stock here, and it will take time to transfer the goods, Oliver, what is the delivery time you agreed with them?"

"Two months of delivery," Oliver said, "I told them that this is ocean trade, and it can't be fast, so it's a long time, Chen, you won't tell me that two months is not enough!"

Chen Dahe breathed a sigh of relief, "Oliver, you are smarter than I thought, two months is enough, if it goes well, it can even be completed within a month, and it will be sent to the United States before Christmas." ”

"That's great," Oliver said excitedly, softening his tone, "and if we can catch the Christmas spree, it will be ten times better than usual." ”

"Well, yes, Oliver, I signed a long-term supply agreement worth 20 million dollars with them, and you can arrange for someone to transfer a million dollars of deposit to their account early tomorrow morning, and I also asked them for a set of slightly lower quality first-class products, which will be shipped to you today, and pay attention to check back." ”

"Understood, I'll arrange the remittance as soon as it's dawn," Oliver hesitated slightly, "Chen, how about the quality of the first-class products? If it's too far away, not only will the profit not be high, but it may even affect the reputation of our products." ”

"Oliver, when does the triple rate of return become not profitable," Chen Dahe said with a smile, "Anyway, with my art idiot's eyes, I can't see any difference between first-class and first-class products, so I need you to ask a professional to appraise it." ”

"It's impossible, Chen, even an art idiot can feel the difference between a real work of art and an ordinary work, but I can't tell you how it feels," Oliver laughed, "unless you're not an art idiot, but colorblind, well, just kidding, I'll ask someone to appraise the goods after I receive them, and hopefully with such a high quality as you said, then our pricing might be higher." ”

"By the way, Chen," Oliver said something else, "when I was talking to an important person today, he mentioned that he likes oriental cultural relics very much, and he intends to promote them, and the implication is that if we can find a source of goods, he will be responsible for the acquisition, and I heard my father say that there are special cultural relics stores in China, can we get involved in this business?"

Oliver is right, there are special foreign-related cultural relics stores in Beijin, Shanghai and Guangzhou, although there is no national treasure-level heavy weapon, but there are a dazzling array of cultural relics that have been identified by experts are put on the table to sell, enough to stunned future generations, this is also the current key project of China's foreign exchange earnings, when Oss was in Guangzhou, Chen Dahe also took him to buy a pen holder for Guangxu Nian as a souvenir.

But Chen Dahe doesn't want to do this business, even if it is allowed or even encouraged by the state now, he doesn't want to do it, maybe when he has money, he will buy a batch as a collection, and forget about exporting.

"Oliver," Chen Dahe thought for a moment and said, "Although this is currently a legal business, one day it will tighten or even disappear, no country will let its important cultural relics flow out at will, and the profit margin of ordinary cultural relics is not as good as our current business, and most importantly, what we are doing now is long-lasting, understand?"

"Understood," Oliver nodded, but unfortunately Chen Dahe couldn't see it, "I appreciate your persistence, in fact, I don't like to do this, I believe in scale and sustainable business, so I agree with your choice, it was just a routine report just now, okay, that's it, I'm going to sleep, if I don't get enough sleep, I may add an extra zero when I send money tomorrow, then you will cry, good night, Chen." ”

"Good night, Oliver. ”

Chen Dahe hung up the phone, leaned on the desk and thought about what Oliver said just now, well, when this batch of goods is sold, go to the cultural relics store to see, although you can pick up leaks everywhere these years, the possibility of buying fakes is not small, it is better to go directly to the cultural relics store to purchase it, although the price is higher, but the fidelity, like the works of Zhang Daqian and Xu Beihong, who sold sky-high prices in later generations, are not too expensive now, and when the time comes, they will be directly pulled back by trucks, and they will increase in value hundreds and thousands of times for decades, perfect!

Rumbling, Chen Dahe touched his stomach, only to find that he had been busy for most of the day, and he hadn't even eaten lunch, so he went to Uncle Li's shop at the mouth of the alley to eat a few buns at random, and rode back to school, and he had to go to Thierry to find out about the situation in Mauritius.

Thierry should be in class now, although this kid is not very restless like Chen Dahe, but he should not miss a single class, which is much stronger than Chen Dahe.

It was not until after school and dinner that I found him in Thierry's rented house.

Chen Dahe entered the door and asked, "Lao Di, how is the situation over there?"

"No problem," Thierry gestured with an OK gesture showing eight white dangling teeth, "Ship at three times the order price, and order a hundred sets first." ”

Another hundred sets?

The corners of Chen Dahe's eyes twitched slightly, but his attention was not on this at all, the focus was on the price, three times the price and twenty times the price, this gap is inevitably too big.

With a grin, Chen Dahe looked at Thierry with an unchanged face and said, "The shipping price in the United States is twenty times the order price!"

"This is impossible," Thierry jumped up at once, "This is impossible, Lao Chen, no commodity will have such a high profit!"

"Lao Di, this is a work of art, a work of art that cannot be estimated," Chen Dahe looked at him meaningfully, "There are also three times the profit, but it is just an ordinary handicraft, not this kind of master-level work!"

Thierry's face suddenly became very ugly, "Damn, Lao Chen, you doubt me?"

"No, Lao Di," Chen Dahe immediately shook his head, "I never doubt you, because with your background, there is no need for this,"

Hearing this, Thierry's face also became better.

Chen Dahe continued, "However, can you be sure that your people in China are really that reliable?"

At this time, Thierry stopped talking, bowed his head with a gloomy face, and said after a long time, he looked at Chen Dahe and said, "I will verify this matter and give you an answer in three days." ”

Chen Dahe raised his eyebrows, "Old Di, maybe there is another possibility,"

Thierry looked at him intently, and Chen Dahe said slowly, "There are different people who appraise this kind of art, and the pricing is different, maybe you can ask them to ask a professional appraiser in Europe to take a look, and there may be different results." ”

Thierry was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Thank you, Lao Chen." ”

"Thank me for what I do, I also have a share of the money I earned," Chen Dahe smiled, "but there is still bad news for you." ”

"What?"

"Because of the high profits, the company in the United States has decided to sign a long-term supply agreement with the North Gold Art Store, and the production of this masterful commodity is very small, and if the profit margin in Africa is lower than in the United States, it will be difficult for me to get a corresponding share for you. ”

In just such a sentence, the form is reversed, and in this cooperation, it is no longer Thierry who has the advantage, but Chen Dahe, who controls the supply of goods.
