Chapter 33: The Loser
What attracted Fang Ming's attention was a tree root, with an overall black wood more than three meters high, which looked like a rotten piece of wood from a distance.
"Why, Fang Shao recognizes this wood?"
Seeing Fang Ming's gaze notice this piece of wood, Song Xiong asked with some surprise.
"There is a half square of ebony at home, which is better than a box of treasure, and this is still a nanmu in ebony, if you don't know it, wouldn't it be clumsy. ”
Fang Ming replied with a smile, and Song Xiong had a look of shock on his face after hearing the answer, because he didn't expect Fang Ming to be able to recognize this as ebony after looking at it from such a distance.
Even if you can recognize the ebony, you can even see at a glance what kind of wood this ebony is, which is not a fire for more than ten years, and ordinary people can't do it at all.
You know, the so-called ebony refers to a thousand-year-old wood, which has been buried in the soil or water for thousands of years without rotting and has been carbonized into a kind of black and hardness wood, and it is impossible to see which kind of tree it belongs to from the appearance.
Could it be that this Fang Shao's family is in the wood business?
Song Xiong guessed in his heart, but at this moment, he completely withdrew his contempt for Fang Ming, and began to treat Fang Ming with the mentality of his peers, all because of Fang Ming's skills.
"Ebony is known as the spirit of ten thousand trees, and among them, the golden silk nanmu is respected, and it cost a lot of money for Boss Song to get this treasure. Hua Borong on the side followed and said.
"It took me more than a year to get this thing, and there were no outsiders here, so I told the truth from my heart, and I almost got into it. ”
Hearing Song Xiong's sigh, Fang Ming and Hua Borong looked at each other and smiled, because they understood the meaning of Song Xiong's words.
You must know that the real ebony has been buried for thousands of years, and according to domestic laws and regulations, it belongs to the collective that is, the state, and ordinary people have to hand it over even if they find it.
In addition to this piece of ebony, there are a lot of good woods on this second floor, but for Fang Ming, what he cares about the most is this ebony.
Half an hour later, having a general understanding of Song Xiong's shop, Fang Ming directly asked Song Xiong: "Boss Song, what kind of sublease method are you planning to do for this store?"
Talking about business, Song Xiong also became serious and replied: "Here I have paid the rent for ten years at one time, and there are still three years to expire, and I honestly don't plan to do this business again, so if you want to rent, in addition to the rent, I will have to wrap these things together." ”
"Old Song, how can there be such a thing, you can dispose of these woods yourself, and it should not be difficult to sell them with your connections in this industry. Hua Borong frowned and said with some dissatisfaction.
Although he didn't know what kind of store Fang Ming was going to open, Hua Borong knew that it was absolutely impossible to open this kind of cultural toy store, since he didn't open a cultural toy store, it would be useless to take all this wood away.
"Boss Hua...... Brother Hua, you don't know that these people in our circle, if you know that my store is subleased out and you want to sell these things, they will only reduce the price one by one, and they will only pay seven or eight hundred thousand at most for the things worth more than two million here, and I can't lose so much. ”
Song Xiong was also helpless, and when he heard Song Xiong's explanation, Hua Borong didn't know what to say, because what Song Xiong said was the truth, and he would do the same in business.
"I said Boss Song, then you don't want to sublet it according to the market price, right?" Hua Mingming on the side pouted and asked.
"Of course not, that is, so that I don't lose too much, I have made an account book, and the current market price of all the things in the store is about 3.6 million, since it was brought by Boss Hua, then I won't say anything false, you can sublet, in addition to the rent, you can give me another million." ”
Triple the profit is nothing for a cultural toy store, which Hua Borong knows very well, Song Xiong is indeed not falsely reported, and the price of this thing is not fixed, and if you meet the kind of rich person who happens to like this object, it is no problem to sell it for ten times the price.
If it is one million, Song Xiong estimates that there is such a profit of more than 100,000 yuan, but the profit of 100,000 yuan is nothing at all in this cultural and entertainment store, if he runs a store like this and finds so many materials and objects, whether it is the cost, labor and time expenses, it will far exceed this amount.
Fang Ming didn't respond, he was estimating that the rent of 600,000 yuan for three years would be 1.6 million yuan if he added these things, and of course, there were some other expenses, which meant that he had at least two million funds in his hands.
"I take the liberty of asking, what kind of business is Fang Shao planning to do in my shop?" Song Xiong asked when he saw Fang Ming silent.
"It's kind of a literary genre, but it might be a little different. ”
Fang Ming pondered for a moment and said: "Boss Song is so fast, then I will tell the truth, I am very satisfied with the location and decoration style of your store, and I can accept the conditions you said." ”
"Really!"
"Fang Ming!"
Two voices sounded at the same time, the front one was Song Xiong's surprise voice, and the back was Hua Borong's voice.
"That old Song, I'll talk to Fang Ming first. ”
Hua Borong looked at Song Xiong with a smile, and Song Xiong also knew it, because he knew what Hua Borong was going to say to Fang Ming, so he found a reason to go downstairs to watch the store and leave first, leaving space on the second floor.
"Fang Ming, I have always felt that I am often regarded as a wronged leader, and now it seems that you are no better than me, don't look at what this old Song said in his mouth, but don't worry about lowering the price with him, at least it can be cheaper by more than ten or two hundred thousand. ”
Hua Mingming's face was gloating, because he felt that the old man of his family should know that he was not the only loser, and Fang Ming was also a loser.
"No, just according to the price that Song Xiong said. ”
Fang Ming smiled and shook his head, of course he knew that there was still room to lower the price, but he didn't plan to do this, the reason was very simple, the price of one million was already a bargain for him.
"Fang Ming, what do you mean by this?"
Hua Ming only pouted and didn't speak, but Hua Borong showed suspicion on his face, and his eyes looked at all the objects on the second floor.
"Uncle Hua, some things may not be worth much in your eyes, but in my eyes they are worth a thousand gold, and a million just buying it won't be a loss. ”
Fang Ming gave Hua Borong an explanation, and hearing Fang Ming's explanation, Hua Borong's expression shook slightly, as if he had thought of something, nodded and replied: "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll talk to Lao Song." ”
"Dad, Fang Ming is crazy, you are also crazy, or hundreds of thousands of yuan is not money, this is obviously money that can be saved, if you two don't care, then I will talk about it, and the extra money will be given to me." ”
Hua Ming quit, in his opinion, his old man and Fang Ming are crazy, and besides, is this still his own old man, or the one who always whispers in his ear on weekdays to be thrifty and keep a housekeeper?
"Sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to take advantage of everything, everything pays attention to a degree, and after this degree, it is equivalent to having a cause and effect. ”
Fang Ming explained, Hua Ming didn't understand, but he believed that Hua Borong would definitely understand the meaning of his words.
Hua Borong walked downstairs to talk to Song Xiong, and after a while, he went upstairs with a happy face, and the next thing was very simple, the two sides signed a transfer contract, and the money was transferred by Hua Borong to Song Xiong.
Of course, the final procedures still need to be handled by the management of the antique city, but this is not a big deal for Song Xiong and Hua Borong, especially Hua Borong, as one of the best stores in the antique city, a phone call is to call the staff.
After everything was done, Song Xiong had a smile on his face after receiving the bank transfer notice, and congratulated Fang Ming: "Congratulations to Fang Shao, and I also wish Fang Shao a prosperous business and a prosperous future in the future." ”
"Boss Song has said auspiciously, but I'm curious to ask, will Boss Song still do some business after he sells this store?"
Hearing Fang Ming's words, Song Xiong was stunned for a moment, but still replied truthfully: "Well, I have to find something to do for myself, but I won't be in the magic capital, I plan to go back to my hometown and partner with a few friends to do some business. ”
"In that case, then I'll send a message to Boss Song, if it's still a store like Kaiwen Play, then it's best not to put a stone lion at the door, even if you really want to fiddle with Pixiu, it's good." ”
Song Xiong's face showed a look of confusion, because he didn't know why Fang Ming suddenly asked him to say such a thing.
"Boss Song, think about it carefully, when did your business start to become bad, and you will understand the meaning of my words. Fang Ming smiled deeply at Song Xiong.
"Since when ......"
Song Xiong had a look of memory on his face, but in less than half a minute, the color of memory turned into a look of horror, and he looked at Fang Ming with a shocked expression, "Fang ...... Fang Shao, what do you mean by this, could it be that my business is not good and has something to do with this pair of stone lions?"
"Of course it does. ”
Fang Ming nodded, "If I'm not mistaken, Boss Song invited this pair of stone lions because I heard that the stone lions have rui beasts, which have the effect of warding off evil spirits and attracting wealth, and the stone lions have an atmospheric appearance, and placing them at the door of the store will also make the guests who come in feel that the store is of high grade." ”
"That's right, it's because of this that I invited this pair of stone lions. Song Xiong kept nodding his head like a chicken pecking rice, because Fang Ming said that his heart was up, and these were two important reasons why he would invite Shi Shi.
