Chapter 23: Young and promising
"Hehe, Mr. Zhou, don't be short-sighted, judge people by their appearance, don't you know that there is a kind of person in this world called Young Dezhi?" I stared at him with a smile, didn't agree or refused, and my fingers tapped rhythmically on the table of the Eight Immortals.
After I said this, the man sat down directly on the stool opposite me, to be precise, he sat on the stool, because he never imagined that in such a short period of time, I not only knew his difficulties, but also his surname.
This person's name is Zhou Kehong, forty-two years old, a little fat, but the facial features are good, although not the appearance of great wealth and nobility, but a worry-free life, he is in the entertainment industry, although the business is not too good, but it is reasonable, it is no problem to make hundreds of thousands a year, but just a while ago, the supplier who has cooperated with him for several years sent him a batch of fakes, and then this supplier disappeared, more than one million fakes were all pressed in the warehouse, there was not much left, he quickly contacted a friend in the same industry, and asked him to help find another batch of suppliers, but the asking price over there is very high, the price is more than half faster than the previous one, but there is no wayIn addition to the remaining funds of about two million, the goods are sold less and less, and he has no choice but to pay for the goods today, even if it is expensive, he is ready to pay for the goods today, and he will first fill the hole in the store, and then he will pass by the door of my store today, and he wants to come in and calculate his fortune, but when he sees that I am a young man in his twenties, he is a little disappointed.
And I, on Tongting, saw him after this batch of goods are the same half-truths and half-fakes, with a lot of moisture, and the person behind him who made him encounter this situation is Wu Dou, who he thinks is his friend's colleague, that person is simply a stone! Knowing that this supplier's goods have a lot of moisture, even he gave up himself, but he also introduced this Zhou Kehong, if he does this business again, there will be little money left in his hand, and he has to go through a lot of hard work if he wants to turn over.
Moreover, cultural toys and antiques, has always been a relatively deep water market, in recent years the rise of a variety of pieces are also climbing, small leaf red sandalwood, Bodhi, crystal, etc., the cultural play market has been pushed to a new peak, and, the purchase channels of the cultural play industry are also countless, large and small all kinds of wholesalers have seized the psychology of people who have no money and like to pretend to be forced, all kinds of high imitations appear on the market, resulting in a lot of distrust of the goods by real cultural play lovers, besides, even if the entertainment industry spends money to buy fakes, there is generally no place to sue, this kind of thing can not be estimated, the quality of the goods depends on reputation, He, a distributor who buys goods in large quantities, can't avoid adulteration in the purchased goods, which is also the inside story of their industry, but a batch of them are all fakes, almost nothing, and this Zhou Kehong is unlucky, and he should be guilty of gold leaf Tai Sui this year.
"Master, I'm sorry, I didn't know what to say just now, I mistook the master for a street liar, I was offended just now, and please don't remember the villain, help me!" As he spoke, Zhou Kehong took out a pile of 100 yuan bills from his pocket and put them in front of me, I took a cursory look, there must be at least 3,000 yuan.
In an instant, I felt my eyes light up, resisted the urge to reach for it, blinked my eyes, and asked him to hand me the palm, although palmistry is simply a superfluous move for me, but I have to do enough face work.
"Well, I'll show you......!" I pretended to look at his palm, and then pinched the knuckles of my right hand a few times, and said with words in my mouth, "Zhou Kehong, you have a friend surnamed Wu, you remember, this person is not credible, and the person he introduced is even less credible, if you don't listen to me, just wait for bankruptcy!"
Looking at my serious appearance, Zhou Kehong nodded directly like pounding garlic, he didn't believe me! Where he wanted to buy, only he and his friend Wu Dou knew about it, and I could directly say his friend's surname, which made him have to admire my ability.
"Master, what should I do? I'm almost empty now, if I don't replenish the stock, my customers will all be lost, and now the business is not good, if the customer is pried away by others, it will be difficult to drag it back" Zhou Kehong looked sad, grabbed my hand, and asked nervously.
Indeed, the most feared thing about doing business is the loss of one's reputation and customers, the competitiveness is too strong, and the fight in business is the battlefield where people kill without seeing blood, and eat people without spitting out bones!
"Go to Hunan! There is a Tianxin Pavilion in Hunan, you go there in person, the goods there are still relatively good" This is also what I saw through Tongting, Zhou Kehong in the next ten days, the last three days, he bought the funds in his hand in the supplier introduced by Wu Dou, and then knew that the water was too much, but he thought that Wu Dou was also deceived by one of them, and did not complain and blame, after that, he mortgaged part of his family property, and personally ran to Tianxin Pavilion in Hunan, and returned satisfied.
Actually, even if there is no me this time, he can barely get through the difficulties, I just let him take a few fewer detours, and although this Zhou Kehong spoke a little mean to me at first, it is also human nature, when people are particularly irritable, they will inexplicably find someone to get angry, but he himself is still good, so this is one of the reasons why I chose to help him.
"Thank you for the master's advice, I'll go back and arrange, if it's really as the master said, I can find better resources in Hunan, and when I come back, there will be another thanks" Zhou Kehong nodded, gave me a respectful salute, and hurriedly walked out of the door, I waved to him with a smile, and when his figure faded away, I finally couldn't hold back my excited heart, grabbed the red little red fish on the table, dipped it in a mouthful, and counted it with taste.
Just as I was touching the little red fish in my hand and thinking about what to buy at night to take home, the phone in my hand rang, and I looked at the caller ID, it was Lu Yaoting, the fat man's father, what was the matter with him calling me at this point?
I answered the phone, and the other side of the phone first talked to me for a while, it was nothing more than what Master Zhong has been busy with lately? Have you eaten? I have booked a restaurant in the evening, and I want to invite me to a meal with Chang Yansong, and so on.
Anyway, I didn't have anything to do at night, and there was no reason why someone invited me to dinner, so I agreed, and finally told him the address of my store, Lu Yaoting said that he and Chang Yansong came to pick me up after work, and hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, I sat on the Taishi's chair, and the more I pondered, the more wrong it became, this meal was a bit inexplicable! If you want to say thank you for helping them before, the money has already been given, and if you want to invite them to dinner, you should have invited me to dinner a long time ago, why bother to ask me out to eat a month after the matter has passed? And come and pick me up in person?
No, there's definitely something going on here, and inviting me to dinner is just an excuse, and it looks like they're in trouble again!
Since Zhou Kehong left, no one has come to my store in the afternoon, I hastily ate some lunch, played mobile games all afternoon, almost six o'clock in the evening, I saw a black Jetta sedan parked in front of the store, this car I know, it is Chang Yansong's unit specially equipped for him.
I sat on the Taishi chair for a long time without moving, Lu Yaoting and Chang Yansong got out of the car, looked left and right at the door of my small shop, and then looked up at my plaque, and then walked into the store in unison.
"Oh! Haha, Jiuyang! You can do it, I haven't seen the small shops open for a few days, how does the little boss feel?" Lu Yaoting, who was grinning as soon as he entered the door, laughed.
"Yes, yes, it's pretty good, young and promising!" Immediately after Chang Yansong looked at the furnishings in my room, he nodded to me, I saw that these two people were obviously singing flattering double reeds, and I was even more sure in my heart that these two goods were definitely the ones who went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.
Thinking like this, my sense of superiority swelled instantly, and my little neck was stalked, and I didn't care about them!
"Haha! Let's go, you're hungry, Uncle Lu and Uncle Chang will take you to eat something delicious" As he spoke, Lu Yaoting walked up to me, scooped me up and pulled me out of the Taishi chair, and I didn't continue to pretend with them, locked the door of the store and got into the car.
