Chapter 285: Taohua.com

After Cao Yuande brought the three people in, he looked at his watch and said, "I'll go over and get busy first, I'll come to you right away, you can find a place to sit first." ”

Yang Bo nodded, "Okay, you're busy." ”

Yang Bo looked up and saw the fluorescent screen at the front desk, displaying the theme, "China's First Collectors Exchange Forum".

Luo Yaohua laughed, "Counting it up, we can also be regarded as collectors?"

"You don't count. Yang Bodao.

"Why?"

"Because you don't have a few collections at all, how can you be considered a collector?" Yang Bo said.

Luo Yaohua smiled: "You wait and see, when my auction house opens, I will be a collection predator!"

"Yes, you're a predator!"

Liu Liangyu stood aside and laughed.

There were more than 20 round tables distributed at the scene, and each round table was set with drinks and side dishes, and the three of them found a table and sat down.

Soon, people arrived one after another, and the three of Yang Bo and the people at the same table introduced each other, and they chatted enthusiastically.

There were auction house executives, cultural relics experts, and founders of some online trading platforms, but the amount of online transactions is too small to believe that online transactions will develop too fast.

After Luo Yaohua heard the introduction, he pulled the executives of the auction house and began to ask for advice, and the executives heard that Luo Yaohua was going to open an auction house, and he was also very enthusiastic, after all, the auction house is not in a city, the competition is small, and if he befriends the boss, he can also leave a way out for himself.

Yang Bo chatted with Jing Shaohua, the founder of the online trading platform.

Jing Shaohua is a very talkative person, he introduced the Taohua network he built, "I started Taohua.com in March last year, and last year, the transaction volume of our Taohua.com has reached 800,000 yuan, which is because the products sold on Taohua.com are all contemporary calligraphy and painting works, and many of them are works of art school students, so the value is not high, most of them are hundreds or thousands." ”

"So in close a year, you sold hundreds of paintings?" Yang Bo asked.

Jing Shaohua nodded, "This is just the beginning, after all, opening the market is the most difficult, with the company's operation and publicity, the next transaction volume will inevitably go to a new level, and the goal we set for this year is 30 million!"

Looking at Jing Shaohua's three fingers, Yang Bo smiled lightly, Jing Shaohua is a master's student who graduated from Dijing Academy of Arts, and chose to start a business after graduating for two years, to be honest, Yang Bo is very optimistic about his entrepreneurship, because the other party did not choose art trading at the beginning, but according to what he learned, he chose a market segment, and now although he is doing contemporary art trading, he has a great future.

Yang Bo didn't want to believe the 30 million transaction target, but he didn't say much, "What is your initial investment?"

Jing Shaohua was a little stunned, he originally saw that Yang Bo was young, thinking that he was a student who had already come over with a senior, so he inevitably boasted a little, and when he asked about the initial investment, he couldn't help but be stunned, "One million!"

"It's not much, the initial construction of the website is enough, but I'm afraid there won't be much money for the next promotion, right?" Yang Bo asked.

Jing Shaohua was slightly embarrassed and explained: "There are still some, after all, every transaction is profitable, art transactions are different from others, we mainly take the customer's paintings online to buy, through cooperation with art school students, help them sell paintings, and then commission according to the proportion." ”

"Website construction and maintenance, labor costs, and operating costs, all of which exist, can I ask, what is the percentage of your commission for each order?" Yang Bo asked.

"Ten points. ”

"That's a 10% ratio, which is a very high percentage. Yang Bodao, "With the expansion of the turnover, the proportion of fees will inevitably need to be reduced." ”

Jing Shaohua was a little amused when he saw Yang Bo's enthusiastic communication, but he was still willing to communicate with Yang Bo, "Yes, there will inevitably be more art trading websites open in the future, and this fee ratio will be reduced, but I think that as long as we make a name for ourselves on Taohua.com, it will definitely take a slow process for this fee standard to be lower!"

"Are you working with a gallery or a school?" Yang asked.

Jing Shaohua looked at Yang Bo, and finally couldn't help asking: "Little brother, should you also want to start a business and start a Chinese painting trading network?"

Yang Bo glanced at Jing Shaohua, and when he saw the unconcealed vigilance on his face, he laughed, "I'm very optimistic about the prospect of buying paintings.com, a year has passed, your one million must have been spent, aren't you looking for venture capital when you came here today?"

Jing Shaohua glanced at Yang Bo and was very surprised, "Do you want to invest in buying paintings?"

Yang Bo smiled: "Can't you?"

Jing Shaohua was stunned, his face looked a little embarrassed, he just thought of many situations, but he didn't think of this, but he still showed enthusiasm and some hesitation for being able to pull financing, "How much can you invest?"

"How much do you want to finance?" Yang Bo asked.

Regarding Yang Bo's big words, Jing Shaohua did not laugh, but thought seriously on his face, "Two million!"

"You should have a self-assessment of buying paintings, what is your valuation?" Yang Bo asked again.

"Four million!" Jing Shaohua said, looking at Yang Bo with some concern as he spoke, "Will your parents give you so much money?" ”

Yang Bo couldn't help laughing, "You don't have to worry about money, we only need to talk about Taohua now, as long as you have an excellent team, you can let me see the possibility and hope of growth in the next promotion, and investing money is just a small problem." ”

Hearing this, Jing Shaohua immediately became excited, "Okay, what else do you have to ask?"

"How many galleries and art schools do you work with now?" Yang Bo asked.

"Eight galleries, two art schools. Jing Shaohua said.

Yang Bo nodded, frowned, and said: "This number is a little less, but it is enough in the initial stage, and more partners are needed in the future, and it is necessary to sign exclusive online sales auction agreements with more painters." ”

"That's our next goal, we've already approached new galleries, about ten, and dozens of potential painters, and we're definitely going to accelerate our work in the future!" said Jing Shaohua.

Yang Bo smiled, not believing the other party's words, because he knew that the businessman was running the train with his mouth, and if he didn't mention this question just now, the other party might not have thought of this.
