Chapter 106: Zhilu's loss-making business

I only heard Chen Yaoyang on the stage say again: "You all paid 1 million when you entered." I would like to make a special note here that these 1 million are stored on your stored-value cards, and each stored-value card has a number on it, which is your membership number. The money is still yours and can be retrieved at any time. However, once you retrieve it, you will no longer be a member of Zhilu and you will not be able to enter again. I'm going to send you the prepaid cards now. ”

There is a hostess who enters the venue with a plate, and the stored value card is on the plate.

Feng Wenwen and Shi Fei looked at each other and smiled, they had already guessed that this would be the case. This 1 million is equivalent to delineating the customer base of Zhilu. It is also a threshold that blocks those who only want to see the excitement and have no financial strength.

One of the people in the audience took the stored value card and asked, "I don't know what the benefits of becoming a member of Zhilu are?"

One said: "If only I could hear Miss Xiaoqian singing every time I come." ”

One person immediately objected: "It's better to listen to the piano." ”

Huang Yutian, the boss of Litai Group, said: "Listening to the piano in the future is a luxury, how can the old man run here to play the piano for you every day?"

One said: "Yes, the old man is hanging our appetite." ”

Feng Wenwen said: "This is an antique shop, I still want to hear what is special about Zhilu in the antique business, I just turned around, and I didn't find an antique." ”

Shi Fei also said: "Antique shops should still focus on antique business. I don't know if Zhilu mainly collects antiques or sells antiques? Looking at this, it seems that it mainly collects antiques. ”

There is not a single antique in it, so it is naturally mainly collected, and everyone has this idea.

Chen Yaoyang said: "Zhilu neither collects nor sells antiques. ”

This was a surprise.

Feng Wenwen frowned and said, "If you don't accept or sell, what kind of business is it? Is it a tea house for people to talk about? When I came, I heard that this is an antique shop." ”

Chen Yaoyang said: "I don't know if you noticed the couplet on the door when you came?"

Shi Fei nodded and said, "This couplet looks a little interesting." I just don't know if it's the pursuit of the ideal realm of antique appraisal, or is it really something?"

Chen Yaoyang said: "To be honest, what is written on this couplet is the business experience of Zhilu. We are in the business of authenticating antiques and have unique experience in identifying the authenticity of antiques. ”

Cao Zhiqi heard it and said, "Okay!"

He came to cheer, so he naturally had to applaud.

Other entrepreneurs also said: "Sure enough, Zhilu has a unique skill, and now I can compare the opposite Baowenzhai to the bottom." ”

None of them are in the antique business, or they were invited by Chen Jiashan to come over to make a scene, of course, they have to speak for Zhilu.

Feng Wenwen and Shi Fei just sneered: This Zhilu's tone is too big. They have been in the antique circle for decades, and they can only say that they have a little experience in antique identification, and can see more obvious fakes, and never dare to say that they can identify the authenticity of antiques. This Zhilu has just opened and released such words, what is there to rely on?

Feng Wenwen said: "Did you invite experts from the provincial capital to come to Zhilu to sit in charge?"

When Fei also said: "How many are you?"

They all know several experts in the provincial capital.

Chen Yaoyang said: "In the future, we will invite some experts to come, but it is not experts who identify the authenticity of antiques. Again, I have my own way of identifying the authenticity of antiques. ”

Cao Zhiqi interjected: "Could it be that it is identified by a machine?"

He's an entrepreneur and likes to think about mechanization in everything.

Feng Wenwen said: "How can there be such a machine. ”

Shi Fei said: "It is possible to identify the age of antiques with scientific instruments, but the pseudo-antiques made by modern people who reprocess ancient materials cannot be judged by instruments." ”

Feng Wenwen said: "Antique counterfeiting is impossible to prevent." ”

Cao Zhiqi said: "Yaoyang, how do you judge the authenticity of antiques? ”

He thought that since Chen Yaoyang had the courage to open this mouth, he naturally had something to rely on. The two people around him have been questioning, so it is better to let Chen Yaoyang explain in detail, so that they can be convinced.

Chen Yaoyang said: "This is a trade secret, and I can't tell you." ”

These words were ordered by Chen Yang. Although Chen Yang has a pair of magical left hands, he can't make them public, so he has to use trade secrets to prevaricate.

Fortunately, there is a foreshadowing of the sound of the piano in front, which adds a lot of mystery to Zhilu, and Feng Wenwen and when Fei no longer ask.

But Cao Zhiqi said: "I don't know how much to charge for this appraisal of antiques?"

Chen Yaoyang said: "We don't charge for appraising antiques. However, there is a limit to the number of antiques that can be appraised by each member in a year. The number of our members is also controlled, and the total number is not intended to exceed 30 people. There are 21 people here today, which means that we can only accept a maximum of 9 more members. ”

Everyone here didn't care much about their Zhilu membership, and some even planned to get 1 million back tomorrow. Hearing Chen Yaoyang say this, there was a subtle change in his psychology. If you really have the ability to identify the authenticity of antiques, this membership will be worth a lot of money. Chen Jiashan nominally called everyone to cheer, but in fact, it was a disguised benefit to his business friends.

Cao Zhiqi said: "I don't understand this, what do you make without charging for appraising antiques, is it just for fun?"

One said: "They earn interest. ”

Chen Yaoyang smiled and said: "30 members are 1 million each, a total of 30 million, do you think our Chen family is interested in earning this 30 million interest?"

The man blushed. Yes, the Chen family just took the initiative to pay more than 100 million in taxes a while ago, how can people care about the interest generated by the 30 million advance deposit?

"Then what does the old man mean by opening this house?" someone asked.

Chen Yaoyang said: "To be honest, I don't know what grandpa means, according to the current look, Zhilu must be a loss." It's fair to say that our business is a loss-making business. ”

Cao Zhiqi sat in the first row, and then turned his head and said to the entrepreneurs in the back row: "Lose money and make yelling, the old man earns yelling." ”

A person in the third row said: "I drank the tea, listened to the songs, and appreciated the piano, and then the family brother will take care of us to eat, and we will get so much cheap, the old man wants to shout, and we will shout for him." ”

Cao Zhiqi smiled and said to Chen Yaoyang on the stage: "Can you shout?"

Chen Yaoyang also smiled: "If you uncles and uncles volunteer to promote Zhilu, it is the best. At the same time, I would like to tell you that the membership of Zhilu is transferable, but the new member who receives the transfer must deposit twice the amount of the old member. ”

"That's 2 million. Someone shouted.

Chen Yaoyang said: "Yes. Another transfer is 4 million. If there is economic benefit in the transfer, it will be owned by the member. I don't ask. ”

Someone laughed: "All of you here are well-known entrepreneurs in Yanjin, although they can't be compared with your Chen family, they are also somewhat wealthy, can we still make this money?"

Chen Yaoyang said: "I just made the rules clear, and I didn't mean to despise them. Uncles and uncles forgive me. ”

After speaking, the group made a move.

Cao Zhiqi said: "If there is a benefit when the transfer is made, it is better to stay here as the cost of our party." ”

The crowd applauded.

Cao Zhiqi said: "Today, Yaoyang said it so clearly, I'm afraid that no one will be willing to transfer their membership in the future." I am afraid that this knowledge will become a group of heroes in the Yanjin business community. ”

Could this be the old man's intention -- the Chen family wants to be the leader of the Yanjin business community? Everyone thought so in their hearts, but no one said it.
