The next morning, Zheng Zheng got up and ate something casually, and after inquiring with his neighbors, Zheng Zheng started a new round of purchasing. Zheng Zheng first went to the nearest advertising agency to order a signboard. He was already accustomed to calling himself "Zheng Zheng of Donglai Pavilion" when introducing himself to others, so he reflexively prepared to set the name of the new store as "Donglai Pavilion".

But thinking about how hard it was for me to leave the Western Capital City and start to exert my strength in Huayin City, it always feels a little weird to use the name of this store that has been acquired. In the end, Zheng Zheng decided to name the store as "On Gu Xuan", which means "playing with antiques to discuss ancient things".

The signboard matter was decided, and Zheng Zheng went to the flower market, grocery market, and computer city in a row, buying some flowers and plants, account books and folders, and a laptop. After returning to the store with these things, Zheng Zheng was busy again, and finally arranged all these things.

Two days later, the sign of the rush was delivered to the store.

After a busy time, the "On Gu Xuan Signboard" with gold characters on a black background hung above the door. Zheng Zheng looked up at this signboard, and there was a faint sense of pride in his heart: "This is where I settle down, the signboard of 'Zheng Zheng of Gu Xuan' will be launched in Huayin City after today." ”

Everything is ready, Zheng Zheng can't wait to open it immediately, and the sooner he officially opens his door to do business, he can open up the situation earlier, and Zheng Zheng can't help but feel anxious. However, during this period, Zheng Yonghe made a phone call and asked Zheng Zheng if he had officially opened for business, and Zheng Zheng honestly said no.

Zheng Yonghe asked Zheng Zheng when he was going to open - at that time, Zheng Zheng was staring at the signboard that had just been hung up, and his heart was full of pride, so he said that everything was ready now, and he would be ready to open tomorrow.

There was nothing wrong with his answer, but it attracted a lesson from Zheng Yonghe, saying that although this store can be opened when it is ready, it is different from where to eat, and you have to pay attention to opening a store. Zheng Zheng's words were cloudy, and Zheng Yonghe simply made it clear to him: he had to find a "gentleman" who counted hexagrams and looked at his face, and let people see when it was the auspicious day of the zodiac, and it could only open on that day.

This is considered a rule before opening a store, and merchants generally pay more attention to this taboo. Zheng Zheng also knew this rule, but he didn't take it to heart. Now that Zheng Yonghe has brought up this matter, Zheng Zheng is ready to spend twenty or thirty yuan to find a gentleman to see the days, and finally ask for a good fortune.

However, after the invited gentleman saw Zheng Zheng's store, he gave the most suitable day for opening but Zheng Zheng was extremely depressed: eight days later, at nine o'clock in the morning, it happened to be an auspicious day and an auspicious time, which was suitable for the store to open.

Calculate that it has been three or four days since I came to Huayin City, and if I wait for another eight days, it will add up to almost half a month. Although the rent was paid by the Zheng family, it was not Zheng Zheng's turn to feel distressed, but it was not a problem to stay in the store like this.

However, after looking at the various items in the store, Zheng Zheng really stabilized his mind and prepared to choose to open in eight days. He was not frightened by the fortune teller's words, but more importantly, the reason was that the things in his store were not complete enough.

Although I bought a lot of things in the wholesale market before, those things were considered big road goods, and they could be bought anywhere without Zheng Zheng's Lang Gu Xuan family. So in terms of competitiveness, Zheng Zheng only has the twenty-eight antiques in the store. But these things can be used to support the scene, and you can't count on this if you really do business, you still have to find something that has a larger audience and can also be sold at a higher price.

When he was in the Western Capital, Zheng Zheng didn't have to worry about this, because the Western Capital City is the kind of ancient city with more historical precipitation, there are many antiques, and there are many antiques, so although Wang Qian opened a Donglai Pavilion in the nature of playing tickets, he didn't have to worry about no business. Although the profit is not much, it is enough to take care of the rent and Zheng Zheng's salary.

As for Huayin City......

Huayin City is almost the same as any developing second-tier city, the pace of life is quite fast, and everyone has a look of hurry written on their faces. It is conceivable that in this environment, how many people can have the heart to play with antiques.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Zheng Zheng skipped the level of young people of the same age and focused on the middle-aged and elderly people who had leisure and a little spare money. So Zheng Zheng, who used to sleep until nine o'clock in Donglai Pavilion before opening for business, has now developed a good habit of getting up on time at six o'clock every morning, and then jogging to go to a park not far from Non Gu Xuan to take a turn.

There are many old men and women who go to morning exercises in the park, and Zheng Zheng wants to observe them, see what they are interested in, what they like to play, and then make a targeted plan.

After walking around the park, Zheng Zheng left the park and got on the bus to the next park.

For three days in a row, every day, Zheng Zheng had a good grasp of which park had good scenery and fresh air, but he still didn't find a business opportunity suitable for him.

To say that these old men and old ladies play a lot of things: some shake the bamboo, some kick the shuttlecock, some practice Tai Chi sword, some walk birds, and some play chess...... But Zheng Zheng can't do these businesses, he can't toss to sell white jade chess or white jade bird cages, right? Take a step back, even if Zheng Zheng gets these things through various channels, how many people will buy such things? To put it in a more professional way, this target group does not have strong purchasing power, and it is not the kind of customer who can spend hundreds or thousands just to buy a bird cage or a pair of chess.

However, Zheng Zheng did not relax because of this, and continued to do so every morning.

It was Sunday, and Zheng Zheng came to the park again. He calculated that it had been exactly a week since he came to Huayin City, but in addition to cleaning up the storefront, his business had not made any progress, and seeing that the opening day was approaching, this made him a little anxious. However, Zheng Zheng also knew in his heart that everything was difficult at the beginning, and it was useless to be anxious now.

Taking a deep breath of the fresh morning air, Zheng Zheng walked into the park.

As soon as he entered the park, Zheng Zheng immediately noticed that today's park has changed a little compared to usual. The old men who were shaking the bamboos and playing chess were all gathered in a gazebo, one by one stretching their necks to look into the gazebo, and from time to time there were two shouts of "bite, bite!" and "pinch, pinch!" And in addition to those old men, there are also some middle-aged and young people in this pile, who are also equally concentrated.

Zheng Zheng has a spectrum in his heart, when he came to the park before, it was almost all the world of those old men and old ladies, not to mention young people, and middle-aged people who came to exercise in the morning were rarely seen. This time it was so abnormal, Zheng Zheng vaguely felt that his business opportunity seemed to be coming.

Squeezing into the crowd, Zheng Zheng finally saw what was going on in the pavilion: two young people were sitting facing each other, and on the stone table between them was a palm-sized purple sand round box straight up and down, and there were two crickets in the purple sand round box, which were fighting to the death under the teasing of the grass stems in the hands of the two young people.

"It turned out to be a cricket fighter...... Zheng Zheng said secretly in his heart.

Cricket fighting is not popular in the Western Capital, so Zheng Zheng has never seen it in the Western Capital, but he has heard others talk about this kind of "literary play" before, so he still knows something about this. But when it comes to how to play, how to choose crickets, and how to raise crickets, Zheng Zheng is a blind eye.

At this time, the two crickets in the round box had already won the battle, and the young man who lost was not very good-looking, so he took out a small bamboo tube from his pocket, and carefully put the cricket that had been bitten to death by the opponent into the bamboo tube, and then stood up and left.

Beside Zheng Zheng, an old man who was watching said to the people next to him: "This offspring is quite benevolent, I didn't throw it away." Alas, it's a pity that such an 'iron-headed general' still lost. ”

The old man on the side nodded and said, "No, his crickets are not cheap, it seems that it cost 50,000 yuan to buy them at that time." But now he has earned back his principal with interest, but he has not lost it. ”

Zheng Zheng listened quietly to the two of them talking on the side, and heard the old man say that the young man's crickets cost 50,000 yuan, Zheng Zheng's heart moved, isn't this the customer he needs to find who has enough purchasing power and has enough leisure to play? But Zheng Zheng doesn't know what crickets are considered to be the best, and the business of buying and selling crickets is destined to be lost to him.

Zheng Zheng glanced around casually, but saw that a person outside the pavilion was taking out a stack of money with a gloomy face and distributing it to a few young people with happy faces standing beside him. Then the young man pointed in the direction of the gazebo, and said something to the men, who nodded, and each took out another stack of money and handed it to him.

Zheng Zheng saw all this in his eyes, and almost counted it in his heart: "It seems that these people are betting on the ending of fighting crickets in the gazebo...... The old man said that the defeated young man made money with interest, and maybe this was his way of making money. How does it look like this...... These people have the money and time, and the market is quite small, but I don't know how to identify crickets, so where do I start?"
