Chapter 288: The hotel talks about business

But since the TV news broadcast that Yao Hong is a fake painter and he can't paint at all, the sales of 'Tiannan Pictorial' can be imagined. It can be said that day by day is not as good as day by day.

And Xu Hong is a real art master, and a random painting can be auctioned at a sky-high price of 10 million at the competition site. With such a talent, his paintings naturally become the object of everyone's competition.

Due to the further enhancement of Xu Hong's fame, even the sales of 'New Star Art Garden' have also increased by leaps and bounds.

"It's better to surrender!" 'Tiannan Pictorial' is going to be finished, my Jin Dabao is also finished, and my dream of being a cultural person is all over. ”

Jin Dabao slammed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and strode out of the office.

"Hey, is it Master Xu!"

Jin Dabao sat in his car and made a phone call to Xu Hong first.

"I'm Xu Hong, you're Boss Jin!"

Xu Hong had been waiting for Jin Dabao's call for a long time.

"This, it's a little trivial, can we meet!" Jin Dabao said hesitantly. "Of course, you can meet somewhere. Xu Hong was also very polite.

"The old place, it's still in the Star Hotel!" Although Jin Dabao is finished, it is not the same, and it is still in a five-star hotel to talk about business.

"Okay, I'll go right over. Xu Hong shook the phone.

When talking to Jin Dabao on the phone, Zhao Ming was next to Xu Hong.

"It's Kim Dabao's phone. Zhao Ming naturally heard the sound of Xu Hong and Jin Dabao talking.

"Yes, the business guy has come to the door, let's go, we should talk to Boss Jin." After Xu Hong finished speaking, he pulled Zhao Ming out of the office.

Zhao Ming also understood what was going on, so he didn't ask anything more.

The two went downstairs and drove and soon arrived at the Star Hotel.

In the private room where he had eaten with Jin Dabao before, Xu Hongxian was waiting for Jin Dabao inside. Because 'Tiannan Pictorial' is farther away from the Star Hotel. And the 'New Star Art Garden' is relatively close, so Xu Hong and Zhao Ming first went to the private room of the Star Hotel, and then drank tea together and waited for Jin Dabao.

"Brother Xu, Jin Dabao is going to surrender to us. Zhao Ming looked at Xu Hong while drinking tea and said.

Xu Hong also took a sip of Tieguanyin, and then said with a smile: "It's not surrender but plea, he is already desperate, so he has to come to beg us to help him." ”

"I really didn't expect that Jin Dabao also has today, thinking about how arrogant he was at the beginning, I feel that it won't take long to annex our 'New Star Art Garden', who knows that in less than a year, our 'New Star Art Garden' is going to annex 'Tiannan Pictorial'. Life is really like a drama and changeable. ”

Zhao Ming thought about the battle between them and Jin Dabao over the past year, as well as the final result, and he was also very emotional.

"It's called self-inflicted, who told him to go against us in the first place, to feel like he was the boss and not to take others seriously. ”

Xu Hong took a sip of tea and gently tapped the table with his hand, looking leisurely.

"That's right, whoever told him to dare to go against Brother Xu will naturally end no good. Zhao Ming also complimented Xu Hong again.

"Forget it, Zhao Ming, don't praise me, it's not all the result of our joint efforts. Xu Hong said modestly.

"Bang bang bang!-"

The two were chatting when there was a knock on the door.

"It's the guy surnamed Kim who came. Xu Hong got up and went over to open the door.

Zhao Ming naturally stood up as well.

Jin Dabao saw that there were not only Xu Hong and Zhao Ming, so he said embarrassedly: "Both of them are here! This is good, without Boss Zhao, it is impossible to talk about business!"

"Boss Jin, please!" Xu Hong looked at Jin Dabao and pretended to be very polite.

"Master Xu, please!" Jin Dabao was naturally very polite.

The three of them sat down again.

Xu Hong glanced at Jin Dabao, and then poured him a cup of Tieguanyin first.

"Boss Jin, taste this tea first, authentic Tieguanyin, drinking it can make people feel calm, if there is anything to worry about, it will also make you forget jΓ¬. ”

Xu Hong looked at Jin Dabao and did not say anything about business, but about the tea.

"Yo, Master Xu is not only a master of painting, is he also a master of tea tasting, what, do you know Tieguanyin very well, can you tell me that I also like to drink this thing, I really don't know what benefits Tieguanyin tea has for the human body." ”

Although Jin Dabao also wanted to talk about business, he was embarrassed to say it, seeing that Xu Hong didn't mention it, he also wanted to put the business on hold first, which is also a science to talk about business. As the saying goes, business is not friendship, and business should focus on making friends. In this way, you can lay the foundation for future business.

"I also know a little bit about this, since Boss Jin wants to listen, then I'll be ugly. ”

After Xu Hong finished speaking, he picked up the white porcelain teacup and slowly tasted it and said: "Tieguanyin tea, which belongs to the category of green tea, is one of the top ten famous teas in my country. It is native to the southeast coastal area. "Tieguanyin" is not only the name of tea, but also the name of the tea tree variety, Tieguanyin tea is between green tea and black tea, belongs to the semi-fermented tea, Tieguanyin has a unique "Guanyin rhyme", fragrant and elegant rhyme, after brewing, there is a natural orchid fragrance, the taste is pure, the aroma is rich and lasting, and there is "the reputation of seven bubbles with residual fragrance". In addition to the health care functions of general tea, it also has the effects of anti-aging, anti-arteriosclerosis, prevention and treatment of diabetes, weight loss and bodybuilding, prevention of dental caries, clearing heat and reducing fire, and sobering up by enemy smoke. ”

"Oh! What Master Xu said is really good, I really didn't expect that Tieguanyin still has so many effects! In the future, I will drink more. ”

After Jin Dabao finished speaking, he immediately poured another cup from the purple clay pot, and drank it again.

"Boss Jin, you won't be here to drink tea, right! Something, you can talk about it!" Xu Hong saw that this pot of 'Tieguanyin' was almost drunk, so he reminded Jin Dabao to get down to business.

After Jin Dabao drank another cup of Tieguanyin greedily, he pretended to be pitiful and said: "Master Xu, Boss Zhao, I think you also know that my 'Tiannan Pictorial' is about to end." Since Yao Hong, an old bastard, became the editor-in-chief of our 'Tiannan Pictorial', our 'Tiannan Pictorial' has been getting worse day by day.

Now that Yao Hong is completely finished, our 'Tiannan Pictorial' is already struggling, and it has plummeted. But in any case, 'a skinny camel is bigger than a horse,' and our 'Tiannan Pictorial' still sells hundreds of copies a day! Yao Hong made me miserable and made me completely dead to the cultural cause. I don't want to be a cultural person anymore. Now that the real estate market is heating up day by day, I don't want to wade into the muddy waters of pure art anymore. ”

Jin Dabao saw that Xu Hong was about to get down to business, and he had to start discussing the matter of 'Tiannan Pictorial' with Xu Hong.

"Oh, Boss Jin means to sell 'Tiannan Pictorial'. Xu Hong pretended to be surprised.

"That's right, I can only go this way, otherwise, my life will be over, and it will all be ruined on this broken pictorial. ”

Jin Dabao said, took out a box of Chinese cigarettes, took out two and handed them to Zhao Ming, and handed one to Xu Hong.

Zhao Ming took the cigarette unceremoniously, but Xu Hong didn't take it, just waved his hand at Jin Dabao, indicating that he didn't like to smoke.

"Okay! It's time for our 'Nova Art Garden' to expand its power. Just swallow your 'Tiannan Pictorial'. Then our 'New Star Art Garden' can almost be regarded as dominating the entire pure art market in Tiannan City. ”

Xu Hong naturally understood what Jin Dabao meant, and after listening to Jin Dabao's words, he promised that he could buy 'Tiannan Pictorial'.

"Okay, great, let's negotiate the price!"

At this juncture, Jin Dabao had no choice but to start talking about the main point.

"Okay, you're a seller, you can bid first!" Xu Hong held the teacup and slowly took a small sip of Tieguanyin.

"Tiannan Pictorial can't talk about the same day as before, but it can be regarded as a big pictorial in Tiannan City! ”

Jin Dabao said, stretching out his hand.

Xu Hong glanced at Jin Dabao's five fingers. Then he smiled contemptuously: "Boss Jin, you are a lion with a big mouth! Five million! Do you think your 'Tiannan Pictorial' is still worth this amount now!"

"Master Xu, don't you say that! Although my 'Tiannan Pictorial' is not very good now, after all, it was a big pictorial before, and the foundation is still there! As long as you manage it well, the five million will be able to recover the cost in less than two years. Why, this number, are you still high!"

Jin Dabao saw that Xu Hong couldn't accept his offer, and he was a little anxious.

"Boss Jin, you don't need to say that, what has become of your 'Tiannan Pictorial' now, I think, you know better than us. You will ask us to sell Tiannan Pictorial, and I expected it, and I have already done a survey on the current market situation of your 'Tiannan Pictorial'.

Yesterday, when we surveyed the number of people, the sales volume of your 'Tiannan Pictorial' was only thirty-six. And the sales volume of our 'Nova Art Garden' is 638 copies. The current sales volume of your 'Tiannan Pictorial' is a fraction of our 'New Star Art Garden', and you still said that you want to sell 'Tiannan Pictorial' for 5 million, are you a fool of us, do you want to cheat us. ”

Xu Hong had long known that Jin Dabao would sell 'Tiannan Pictorial' again. Therefore, we have already investigated the market situation of 'Tiannan Pictorial', so that when acquiring 'Tiannan Pictorial', we can have a reasonable price.

"This-how is this possible, I--our 'Tiannan Pictorial', how can there be such a small sales, you-are not mistaken. ”

As soon as Jin Dabao heard Xu Hong's words, he immediately blushed. Because, he has done his own investigation, and the number of jΓΉ investigated by Xu Hong is about the same. Since Yao Hong's fake painter identity was exposed, the sales of 'Tiannan Pictorial' have plummeted.

"Hmph, can we make a mistake, are you all amateurs when we are! We've been running a pictorial business for more than a year, how can we get these important numbers wrong!"

Xu Hong glared at Jin Dabao, with a very angry look in his eyes.

"This is just because Yao Hong's fake painter identity was exposed, which will naturally affect the sales of 'Tiannan Pictorial'. I guess, though, it's only temporary. As long as Yao Hong's matter is slowly forgotten, the sales of 'Tiannan Pictorial' will slowly rise. ”

Jin Dabao didn't dare to say that Xu Hong's investigation numbers were fake, so he said that their 'Tiannan Pictorial' still has potential, and sales may rebound.

"Boss Jin, there is naturally some truth in what you said, but who can guarantee these things, is this like speculating in stocks! 'Tiannan Pictorial' is like a stock, whether its current price has reached the bottom, this is not easy to say! Whether it can rebound or not, it is even more difficult to say. We're going to invest in a 'junk stock' like your 'Tiannan Pictorial' now, you say, how much risk we have to take. ”

Xu Hong can be described as a knowledgeable and talented person, and his image metaphor is that Jin Dabao is talking with his mouth open, and he doesn't know how to refute it.

"Boss Jin, Brother Xu also said just now, your 'Tiannan Pictorial' is now a 'junk stock', we want to buy it, it is a big risk, your five million, is it too high, how can this be like the price of 'junk stock'. ”

Zhao Ming didn't speak for a long time, and now seeing that Jin Dabao made Xu Hong speechless, he also took the opportunity to ridicule Jin Dabao again.

When Jin Dabao heard this, he still lowered his head, not knowing how to refute.

"Boss Jin, if you give five million, we won't accept it. You can do it yourself, and if you stick to your price, then we can both take our leave. ”

As Xu Hong spoke, he pretended to leave and immediately stood up from his chair.

When Jin Dabao saw it, he immediately got up and stopped Xu Hong: "Master Xu, don't be like this, we can discuss it again." ”

"What else is there to discuss, if you don't want to reduce the price, then we can only break up. Xu Hong did not sit down.

"In this way, I will drop a million! Four million, how about it. Jin Dabao stopped Xu Hong with one hand, and stretched out four fingers with the other.

Xu Hong listened, glanced at each other with Zhao Ming, and then shook his head with a smile: "No, it's still too high, we can't accept it." ”

"This-this-that's three million! It can't be any lower. Jin Dabao gritted his teeth again and dropped a million.

When Xu Hong heard this, he still shook his head 'ruthlessly': "It's still too high." ”

"Master Xu, you-are you killing me! Okay! Two million, two million, you should be satisfied!"

Jin Dabao was already looking at Xu Hong with pleading eyes.

Xu Hong finally sat down in the chair again.

Jin Dabao thought, this time Xu Hong will definitely agree to this price, although he feels a little painful in his heart, but he feels that two million is also the current value of 'Tiannan Pictorial'. Because this 'mess' is really not worth a few dollars. (To be continued.) )
