47: Li Baoge Company
"Sister Lilac, it doesn't matter how much money you have, you just need to invest a few million, the main thing is Mr. Lin's unpredictable treasure appreciation skills. Li Kun said.
"Haha, doesn't this give me a big advantage?" Lin Haoran said.
"It's us who take advantage, to put it bluntly, with Mr. Lin's technology, you are wandering in the auction houses, and you can make a lot of money by picking up leaks in the antique market. Li Kun said with a smile.
"My sister-in-law is a rich and noble minister, she will make a fortune, and everyone who is with you will be beneficial, since my sister-in-law is willing to take me to make a fortune together, I will thank you in advance. Lin Haoran has long seen that Li Kun is a rich and compelling person.
"Okay, then find time to visit the store, meet my friend, and then go through the formalities, but don't call my sister-in-law in the future." Li Kun said.
"Obey, Sister Li, haha. Lin Haoran laughed.
Li Kun said that her shop was a small antique shop, and Lin Haoran thought it was really a small antique shop, but when she arrived at the store the next day, she realized that she was small, but what a euphemistic and self-humble statement.
Li Kun's antique shop cannot be said to be a store, it should be said to be a company. There are six chain stores in the city under the company, and there are more than 20 stores in various parts of the province. Antique calligraphy and painting are just a small part of the company's business.
After listening to Li Kun's introduction, Lin Haoran was already scared by this woman, there is such a person, this is also called a small antique shop, do you still let others live.
The shareholders of the company also have two friends of Li Kun, both of whom are women, one is named Gu Bao and the other is called Weng Gege, both of whom are beautiful women. The name of the company is also very interesting, it is actually called Li Baoge, isn't it a name?
"Two sisters, this Mr. Lin is a master of treasure connoisseurship, and I am ready to invite him to join us Li Baoge. In Li Baoge's conference room, Li Kun introduced Lin Hao to the two partners and then said.
"Li Kun, are you ready to open a branch again? Will our company expand too fast?" Gu Bao said.
"I think too, we should be more stable, too rapid expansion will inevitably produce a lot of management loopholes, so we should calm down and operate for a while. Ungege agreed.
What they meant was obviously that they didn't want Lin Haoran to join. The company is making money, who wants others to add in and share the money.
"Both, I asked Mr. Lin to join, not to open a new branch, not because we don't have enough money to turnover, but for the two sessions. Li Kun said.
"Two sessions, do you mean the Burma-Thailand Jade Fair and the Global Antiques Exchange and Fair?" Weng Gege was moved, it was a world-class trade fair in the jade and antique world.
The jade fair, in fact, is the gambling stone conference, this conference is so famous, the main rough stones, this fair is jointly sponsored by the governments of Myanmar and Thailand, and the rough stones sold in the exhibition come from many countries in Southeast Asia. On the merchant side, there are well-known jewelry brands from all over the world, and it is said that the world's top 10 bigwigs also appeared.
The antique exchange fair is hosted by the Chinese government and world-class auction companies, and the number of treasures is naturally unprecedented. Not to mention what to buy or sell at these two trade fairs, just by participating in these two fairs, you can expand your network.
"Yes, although we now have more than 20 chain stores, and we are well-known in the province, we have not yet rushed out of the province, and no one knows us outside the province. To put it mildly, compared to those big brands such as this Fu Na Fu and this Feng Na Feng, we are just setting up stalls. Why? It's not that we have a small budget, it's that we don't have good works. We don't have a master-level designer for jewelry and jade, and we don't have a master-level treasure connoisseur for antiques. Li Kun said.
"Maruko, we all understand what you said, but how can a company like ours invite master-level talents? You also know that those old men can't be hired by money. Gu Bao said.
"Two sisters, I have a plan, in the short term, not only will not develop branches in the province, but will also reduce some of them. Our goal should be to be metropolises like the Magic Capital and the Imperial Capital, and then radiate to the provincial capitals. And to break into these two places, capital is not the most important, the most important fame. Li Kun's ambition frightened the two partners, how easy is it to gain a firm foothold in the imperial capital of the demon capital full of strong opponents?
"Maruko, not to mention capital, where do we get our fame? When did we get a ninth-rate company like ours to become famous?"
"It didn't work before, but now we have the opportunity, as long as we show our hand at the two sessions, people in the industry will know about us immediately, and then I will take advantage of the situation to launch our brand, and after some media operations, we will soon be famous and popular." Li Kun said.
"Maruko, what you said is light, but it is not easy to do, who doesn't want to show a hand at the two sessions, but who has done it?" Among the three, Gu Bao is the most conservative.
"It didn't work before, but now we have a chance, and it is this Mr. Lin who brought us this opportunity. Li Kun said.
"Wait, Li Kun, you said for half a day, I was confused, I'm just a doctor, you said that yours is a small antique shop, let me participate in and play, I thought it was really a small shop, but your situation is not what I thought it was at all. Moreover, the big plan you just mentioned is related to me, and I don't understand it. To put it bluntly, I'm just a doctor who hasn't turned regular yet, and I'm completely different from my three sisters. Don't get involved with me, okay?" Lin Haoran was really stunned, whether it was a doctor or a jewel or an antique, it didn't matter.
"Mr. Lin, don't be humble. It's true that you're a doctor, but I know you have a special way of appreciating treasures. Otherwise, you can't spend thousands of dollars to buy a box of scrap copper coins, let alone spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a piece of calligraphy without printing and money. Two sisters, do you know what he bought for a few thousand yuan? Let me tell you, a few thousand yuan he bought the third national treasure, Jin Zhiwan. Li Kun's words shocked Lin Haoran, how could she know about it, Lilac didn't know about it.
"Oh my God, this is true? I heard that there are only two in the country, and this third one is worth a lot of money. Unger exclaimed.
"It's not very valuable, it's only tens of millions. And he bought a calligraphy for hundreds of thousands, but I saw it with my own eyes yesterday, and he actually made four million in an instant. Lin Shengsheng, I don't know how you appreciate treasures, but I believe that your method of appreciating treasures must be very special and unique. So, I think you can round out this plan of mine. Li Kun said.
