At nearly eleven o'clock in the evening, Zheng Yonghe's phone call finally came.

"Two news, one good news and one bad news, which one do you listen to?" After connecting the phone, Zheng Yonghe's first sentence was this.

Zheng Zheng pondered cautiously for a moment and said, "Let's listen to the bad news first." ”

"Uh......" Zheng Yonghe paused and said, "I'd better tell you the good news first...... Listen, boy, the thing you asked me to do for you...... That's it!"

"No kidding?"

Zheng Zheng didn't have much confidence in this matter at all, he was mentally prepared to be rejected for the first time. So when he heard Zheng Yonghe say this, Zheng Zheng was very surprised: "This...... Did you take over the reins, or did your eldest brother do something wrong and was swept out by you? His people didn't give you any trouble in this matter, I really don't believe it. ”

"If you really want to say it, I really can't understand this, don't say you're surprised, I'm more surprised than you. ”

Zheng Yonghe's tone was a lot more serious, and he said: "I was thinking about it at the time, as soon as this matter is raised, someone must oppose it." Even if someone who wasn't my eldest brother came out against it, others who felt it wasn't in accordance with the rules would oppose it. ”

"But after I brought it up, it went smoothly and no one objected. If you want to say that I have this prestige in the family, it is definitely impossible, and it is impossible for everyone to obey me. But if things can go so smoothly, what can be done? The key point is that not only no one has stood up to oppose this matter, but there is not even a person who has put forward additional conditions in passing, and it has been completely passed, which is equivalent to giving you the greatest freedom in this matter. ”

"The more I listen to it, the weirder it gets......"

Although Zheng Zheng likes to take advantage of this kind of thing, he also knows what can be taken advantage of and what cannot be taken advantage of. is like this, from the inside to the outside, there is a bargain of "there is something going on here~", and he will not take advantage of Zheng Zheng to death.

And this cheapness, whether Zheng Zheng wants to take it or not, has already been sent to his mouth. Now even if Zheng Zheng wants to spit out this cheap again, he can't spit it out.

But if there is a problem in this matter, Zheng Zheng really can't figure out where things can come from for a while. But to say it's okay, the attitude of Zheng Yongming's group is the strangest thing.

pondered it repeatedly, but Zheng Zheng didn't figure out where there was anything for people to do in this matter. Zheng Zheng laughed twice, and then said to Zheng Yonghe on the other side of the phone: "Let me guess...... The bad news you say is that no one has anything to do with it, right?" "You kid understands me. Zheng Yonghe paused, and his voice became serious: "You must not take this matter lightly. Although we don't know what my eldest brother is going to do at the moment, he must be ready to do something about it. Whatever you're going to do lately, be careful. My eldest brother is different from Zheng Bei, Zheng Bei's little Taoism is only enough to lift shoes for him. ”

"Okay, I know it. You can help me keep an eye on the situation on the Zheng family's side, and if there is any situation, notify me immediately. ”

Hanging up the phone, Zheng Zheng pondered for a while, but still didn't figure out a clue. Since he can't figure it out for the time being, Zheng Zheng won't bother with that brain, if Zheng Yongming really wants to deal with himself, sooner or later he will have to move, just keep a little more care and wait.

The next day, Zheng Zheng contacted Anna to formally talk to him about opening the store.

Anna didn't seem idle, and when he met with Zheng Zheng, he brought a list of shops for rent and sale in Rome. According to him, these stores are the boutiques he has people pick out, and they are specially selected by Zheng Zheng.

The boutique is still for rent and sale, and it is clear that the price of this store is not affordable for ordinary people. Zheng Zheng didn't care about the pain, and instead asked Anna about the business situation in the European collecting world.

An industry has its own rules, and a place also has its own customs. The same industry in two places, although there is not much change, but the rules are not necessarily the same. When he was in China, Zheng Zheng had a very deep understanding of this point, and now that he is abroad, Zheng Zheng has not forgotten this stubble.

After asking Anna like this, Zheng Zheng realized that he really asked the right question.

According to Anna, the European collecting business is not exactly a store-opening business. Although you have to open a store to do business, the role of this store is more like a signboard, those ordinary businesses are done in the store, but the high-end business is traded in private.

This is the biggest difference from the domestic antique trade. In China, as long as it is not particularly taboo, antique shops can do business on the bright side. As long as you have an accurate vision and can find the right place, it will be difficult to buy something similar.

However, in European antique shops, there are nothing of high value on the bright side, and the stores are full of small items that are considered collectibles, but it is difficult to satisfy the authentic collectors. The real good things are traded privately through connections within the collecting community.

Let's just put it this way, in China, no matter whether this person is in the industry or not, as long as the starting price is opened, and the antique shop is not a black shop used to trap people, then this person can still buy some good things. If this person is an insider, and the person who opens an antique shop is also an insider, and the two of them can use the right jargon to know each other that they are real insiders, whether the two have a relationship or not, whether they know each other before or not, the person who opens the antique shop will look up to the buyer, and generally do not show people good things are also willing to take them out.

In Europe, you can't afford to buy good things from antique shops. You have to be able to enter this circle, and then have relationships in this circle, and have friendships with many people, so that you can enter this circle of private transactions and buy real good things.

In contrast, although the domestic antique shop is a relatively closed industry, this closure is about the closure between real insiders and laymen who are halfway home, and there is no such closure between buyers and sellers. The collecting world in Europe, on the other hand, is more like a noble and glamorous small circle activity.

Zheng Zheng's situation is very good, he has just made a reputation, as long as he can get the store out, so many people who are interested in him will come to the door by themselves, but Zheng Zheng doesn't have to go to this circle by himself. But there is another problem in front of Zheng Zheng, that is, Zheng Zheng does not have enough good things in his hands at the moment.

In Anna's words, there should be people who want to do some business with Zheng Zheng now, and they are also looking forward to buying some oriental things from a mysterious oriental visitor. What Zheng Zheng has to do is to meet their expectations.

In addition, Zheng Zheng can't open a store without anything, right? He always has to put something in to support the scene, so as not to look empty......

Regarding the matter of supporting Zheng Zheng, Anna is quite willing to help Zheng Zheng. He was more than happy to let Zheng Zheng go to his collection to pick it up, and if he liked something, he would take it and put it in the store. If someone really wants to buy it, it can be regarded as a consignment for Anna. If no one buys it, it will hold up the scene, right?

As for the "Oriental stuff", Anna couldn't help Zheng Zheng much, and there were few things in his collection that met this requirement. Even if there were one or two pieces, they were bought by Anna at the auction or in the circle, and when they were taken out, others knew where they came from, and they couldn't help Zheng Zheng.

This question really makes Zheng Zheng a little worried, but now in Europe, even if it is an acquisition, it is not easy to acquire. If it is in China, getting a dozen or twenty good antiques is not a problem for Zheng Zheng at all. But it's one thing to take antiques around at home, it's another thing to take them abroad.

In this matter, the Zheng family must not be able to count on it, even if the Zheng family is happy to do this, Zheng Zheng has to wonder if Zheng Yongming wants to pit himself on this point. As for the other channels...... Then it is even more impossible to count on. Zheng Zheng knows that Wang Siqi's black market, including the antiques in the black market that is now under Wang Kang's management, is not a serious thing.

These antiques that are not serious are bought and sold in the country after some packaging, and the matter is not big, and it is no problem if it is not too taboo. However, if you take these things out of the country with the wrong way, you will have to face such and such inspections, and the effort on the face will not be enough at all. If you really want to check those antiques, it is not difficult to find out the problem. If someone checks it three times or two times and checks it all the way, it will be troublesome.

After pondering left and right, Zheng Zheng felt that there was no need to worry about this matter. If you open your own store, most of the people who come to you come to you are looking for your ability to identify or recover, and there are not many people who simply want to do business. In this way, the antique thing can still be put back in the future.

Anna didn't insist too much, he saw that Zheng Zheng had his own ideas, so he agreed.

It didn't take too much effort for Zheng Zheng to look at the storefront, and after discussing it with Anna, he settled on a storefront on a street that looked a little remote. Antique shops are not suitable for opening on the street, and it is always better to have a quieter place. In addition, this antique shop basically can't make money from the storefront, and it doesn't matter if the store is lively or not.

The most important thing is that the neighborhood where the store is located is quite safe and secure, and the sheriff of the precinct has a good relationship with Anna. Zheng Zheng opened a store here, so there is no need to worry about safety. Zheng Zheng is in Rome, which can be said to be unfamiliar, and it is best to have less trouble.
