Chapter 37: The Antique Market (2)

After a few words with those people haha, the Manjun took Fang Yi and the others to walk inside, they came early today, it will be just after eight o'clock, the antique market has not been much up, you know, the antique market usually relies on those tourists to drive popularity.

"Brother Man, these are your friends?"

The fat man asked, his heart was more lively, and he knew that if he wanted to gain a foothold in this antique market, those people of the three religions and nine streams had to come into contact, and he already had the idea of making friends with those people in his heart.

"Fart Friends ......"

Man Jun pursed his lips, lowered his voice and said: "Little fat man, don't look at me and they are very hot, just think that we are friends, those guys specialize in doing some things that deceive and deceive, you kid will have less contact with them in the future, and don't take goods from them......"

In Manjun's view, eighty percent of the decay of the Chaotian Palace antique market is caused by these guys who disrupt the market, but he is now a little wealthy, and he can't make friends with those people, but at most, it is to meet and say hello, and Manchu Jun will not have any deep friendship with them.

"Hey, I thought Brother Man, how good your relationship with them was......" Hearing Manjun's words, the fat man was a little dumbfounded, even Fang Yi and Sanpao were surprised, they were like brothers in front of them, how could they turn their faces and scold.

"Do you think that Brother Man, I am a person who does one thing in front of me and one thing behind my back?"

Seeing the faces of Fang Yi and the others, Man Jun shook his head and said: "If you want to mix in this society, then you have to see people and talk about people, and talk nonsense when you see ghosts, if you see people you don't like and keep a face, then it will be difficult to move an inch in this society, you brothers have to learn a little ......"

"We know, Brother Man......"

Fang Yi and the others nodded at the same time, although they were very simple, but their heads belonged to the kind of people who were absolutely good, Manjun's words sounded a little unacceptable at first glance, but after thinking about it carefully, it was really like this.

"Here, this is my shop......" Coming to the door of a shop, Man Jun stopped, took out the key and opened the door, and said: "Come in, let's have a pot of tea first, and then I will talk to you again......"

"Bogu Zhai, what a name...... Fang Yi stood at the door of the store and looked up at the plaque hanging on it, nodded and said, "Tongjin Bogu, I didn't expect Brother Man to be a gentleman?"

"What Yashi...... Man Jun turned his head with a smile and said: "I couldn't come up with a name at the time, but then I spent twenty yuan to let the blind fortune teller who practiced the stall together give it to me, so I used it like this......"

After a few days of contact, the Manchu army knew that Fang Yi and the three of them had just come out of the countryside, and their hearts were as clean as a blank sheet of paper, so he also dared to say something from his heart.

"You're in luck......"

Hearing Manjun's explanation, Fang Yi was speechless, he was a member of the Daomen, so he naturally knew that this name was related to his own luck, if the name was good, then things would be smooth and accessible, on the contrary, if the name was not good, then everything would be hindered and business would be unsustainable.

"Luck is okay, after two years of practice, I opened a shop......

After Fang Yi and the others entered the store, Man Jun went to get the electric kettle, and said with a smile: "This store has just opened and made two orders, and I have also made some contacts......

Manjun is an open-minded person, and he lives a happy life, smiling when he sees everyone, so Yundao has always been very good.

A few years ago, when the antique market was stolen at night, there were seven or eight shops that were not rented out, and a total of twenty shops were opened, but the thieves patronized a total of eighteen shops, but the Manchu army and another person's shop were safe.

"This brother is really lucky......

After sitting down, Fang Yi was happy in his heart, he checked the feng shui around him before entering the store, and found that his shop was diagonally facing the gate of Chaotian Palace, avoiding the evil aura of Chaotian Palace, not to mention, but also contaminated with a trace of Chaotian Palace's luck.

"Come, brothers, try this year's Longjing new tea ......"

After the water boiled, Man Jun made a cup of tea for Fang Yi and the others, and said: "I didn't drink tea before, but I have nothing to do here all day long, except for drinking tea, it is chatting nonsense, and now in addition to drinking, I also like to drink tea......"

"Brother Man, how come you have nothing to do all day?"

Sanpao asked puzzled, as soon as he entered the store, he was shocked, the left and right rows of counters were full of all kinds of jade antiques, and there was a larger place in the back neatly placed two rows of cabinets, which were also full of all kinds of porcelain, just looking at the furnishings, it would make people feel that it was worth a lot.

"Three cannons, don't look at the number of things, except for a few pieces of jade in the cabinet, none of the others are real......"

Following the gaze of the three guns, Man Jun couldn't help laughing, he did have a few good things in his hands, but they were hidden at home, and it was not a home on the side of Chaotian Palace, but a residence in the city that no one in the industry knew about.

"It's all fake?" San Pao was stunned when he heard this, and asked in disbelief: "Brother Man, aren't you a liar in doing business?"

"Deceitful people? My Manchurian army sells things in this market, and I have always bought and sold them openly, and I have never deceived people. ā€

Man Jun shook his head and said: "These things can't be said to be fakes, they should be called high imitations, every object has a prototype, when the guest asks, I will explain that it is a high imitation, and I will not deceive their ......"

Jinling is also famous as the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, on its heritage than the capital and Xi'an are not much behind, literati and scholars are naturally a lot, plus some vassal elegant people, so antique calligraphy and painting and bronze porcelain such objects, in Jinling circulation a lot.

However, the antiques that are really rich and inherited, whether in the prosperous times or troubled times, are very expensive, and they are not what the current literati and scholars can afford, just like the porcelain on the cabinet of the Manchu army, if it is true, any one of them is the salary of a university professor for a lifetime.

This is a kind of play with money, and if you don't have money, you can have a game without money, and if you can't afford it, you really can't afford to buy a fake? Therefore, high imitation was once popular in Jinling, and the porcelain on the cabinet of the Manchu army, if you are lucky, you can sell two pieces a month.

"Sell two pieces a month?

The fat man asked puzzled, he found that there was a room behind the cabinet, there were always fifty or sixty square meters, such a large store, the monthly rent is estimated to be five or six thousand, and two high-imitation items are sold every month, I'm afraid I can't even earn back the rent, right?

"The antique shop does business, not by selling things in the shop, I have been open for several years, and I have not sold a single object in it for tens of thousands......

Man Jun took a sip of tea comfortably, and said with a smile: "There is a saying in the antique shop, it is called not open for three years, open for three years, although it is a bit exaggerated to say that three years, but as long as I make one transaction in a year, it will be almost enough for a year's expenses, and if I make two or three businesses, isn't that what I earned......

The Manchu army had the intention to take Fang Yi and his brothers on the road, and he said these things in the antique shop very carefully, just like the fan he sold to Sun Lianda yesterday, the Manchu army collected 20,000 yuan, and sold it for 65,000 as soon as it changed hands, not to mention anything else, at least a year's rent, water and electricity money has almost been earned.

"Brother Man, what should we do, what should we do?"

Manjun's words made the fat man's blood boil, just a few days ago he was still poor, and now the third brother not only has a place to live in the city, but also has a start-up capital of 20,000 yuan, and the fat man is already eager to throw off his arms and do a big job.

"You have limited funds, and you don't understand this business, I think it's better to do some cultural and entertainment business like Sun Lao said......

Man Jun thought for a moment and said: "Literary play does not pay attention to the old, but pays attention to and plays with words, things will not be too expensive, although the income is not much, but the profit is also very good, you start with cultural play, and slowly transition to antiques, this will be better......

"Brother Man, is the literary play the kind of beads on Fang Yi's hand, where is this thing stocked?"

When the fat man and others were chatting in the store, the outside had gradually begun to get on people, driving those bustling tourists, the fat man couldn't sit still, saying that practice is the best way to learn, sitting here and listening to the Manjun said, it is better to set up a stall to practice.

"Fang Yi is carrying ebony beads, right?"

The Manchu army is not very good at playing with beads, and he was not there when Sun Lianda's father and son wanted to collect this string of beads, because he regarded this old agarwood bead as ebony, and the price of the two was far away.

"Wooden beads are just a kind of cultural play, and the seeds of some other plants are also very sought after, such as the stars and moons in the four Bodhi, King Kong, phoenix eyes and lotus flowers, which also belong to the category of cultural play, and other kinds of walnuts, gourds, olive pits, beeswax, turquoise, etc., these are also cultural toys ......"

The Manchu army knew that this brother had seven tricks and six tricks for literary toys and antiques...... I don't know anything, I just told everything I knew, and after staying in the antique market for so many years, even if the Manchu army didn't do that kind of business, he still understood it after all.

"Brother Man, where is this purchase purchased? Is it in Jinling?"

Listening to Manjun popularize the knowledge of cultural play, Fang Yi, who has always only watched and not talked, finally opened his mouth, and asked the idea in one sentence, if you want to do the business of cultural play, you must first have a purchase channel.

"There is a wholesale market for cultural toys in Jinling, which is ...... in the Ming Imperial Palace."

Man Jun thought for a while, and said: "But the price of the goods over there is a little higher, many people go to the capital Panjiayuan or Shili River to wholesale, you have just come into contact with this industry, I build yƬ you better get the goods in Jinling first......"

"Well, the cost of going to the capital to buy goods is a bit too high...... the fat man nodded and said, "Brother Man, if you are free, how many of our brothers will go to the Ming Palace for a walk?"

Although I heard Manjun say so much, the fat man still felt a little bottomless in his heart, and he was very afraid that he would be deceived by someone for the first time in his life to do business, no, according to the jargon that Manjun just said, if he was deceived into buying fake things, it should be called taking medicine.

ps: I've had a low-grade fever for three days, and my brain is dizzy and I can't write, so I rely on the manuscript to support it, and everyone supports the fat man!
