Chapter 500: Recruit a big shopkeeper
PS: Five hundred chapters, another milestone, ask for monthly ticket support.
"Tut-tut......"
At this time, looking at the room for the proprietor to rest, Yu Feibai smiled and said: "It's so comfortable, decorate it a little, and you can use it directly as a new house." ”
Hearing this, Bai Ye knew that he was making fun of his Wang Guan, his face was a little shy, and then he said with a smile: "Okay, we have finished decorating, and we will give it to you and Xu Qing." By the way, did you propose? ”
"Uh, that ......"
Sensing Xu Qing's glance at him, Yu Feibai had the feeling of lifting a stone to hit his own feet, and then hurriedly changed the topic: "Let's go to the treasury and have a look, maybe Chen Lao left something good for Wang Guan." ”
Wang Guan shook his head, took out the key and chuckled: "There may not be good things, but I heard that Chen Lao said that the account books of income and expenditure are placed there, and they should really take a look." ”
After a while, before several people came to the warehouse, they found that the warehouse was very tightly guarded, and there were three layers of protective steel doors. Even if you cut it with a tool like a chainsaw, you won't be able to break it for a while. Of course, in such a bustling and lively street, it is estimated that no thief is stupid enough to break down the door and rob it.
"Click!"
It took three different keys to open the three-tiered reinforced security door. Then Yu Feibai couldn't wait to get in, fortunately, there were ventilation holes inside to keep the air circulating, otherwise he would have choked to death.
"Well, it really is."
At this time, before Wang Guan and the others entered, they heard Yu Feibai sigh: "The things have really been emptied." ”
"Everyone said it in advance, why don't you believe it?" Wang Guan smiled casually and walked in. After a little look, I saw that the room was quite spacious and there were rows of shelves. It's just that at this time, the shelves are already empty.
Of course, there is also a small box that is not locked and placed in a conspicuous position, which is probably the account book that Chen Lao said. Wang Guan walked over and opened the lid of the box, and sure enough, he found a large number of ledgers in the box.
Meanwhile. Yu Feibai also walked over to see the excitement, and picked up an account book to look through.
To be honest, these ledgers are also important. Because through the records of the ledger, we can understand the market trend of antiques in recent years, so as not to be out of touch with the industry.
After all, there is a difference between the buyer's price and the seller's price, and the difference is the profit. What objects should be offered at what price, and how much profit can be earned, can be reflected in the ledger. At least Wang Guan can learn a lot of things, which can be regarded as a rare experience. Chen Lao put down a bunch of account books, which was obviously a big favor.
Wang Guan was a little grateful in his heart. I pondered when to visit Mr. Chen and expressed my gratitude. Thinking about this, he also looked at the amount of income in the ledger and counted it with his fingers......
"One hundred and twenty-three thousand nine hundred and seventy-six dollars!"
At this moment, Bayeux smiled beside him and reported a number.
"Ugh!"
Wang Guan was stunned, and then found the year-end statement of that year, and then checked the turnover of the month, and found that the figure was not bad at all. At this moment, he couldn't help but sigh: "Baye." You're amazing. ”
"Mental arithmetic, I remember that you were also good back then, and you were among the best in the exam." The corners of Baye's mouth hooked up a smile: "Why can't you do it in just two or three years?" ”
"That's why you are amazing, and it hasn't come in handy for so many years. It's long forgotten. ”
Wang Guan was a little helpless, and then smiled: "But it doesn't matter, you just understand." I have now officially hired you as the financial director of the antique shop, which is considered to be a rehearsal for the future management of the family's finances. ”
"Nonsense again." A touch of shame flashed over Baye's pretty face: "You slowly turn over the account book." Xu Qing and I went downstairs to rest. ”
While speaking, she pulled Xu Qing away.
Seeing this, Wang Guan smiled and put the ledger in its place. Then he beckoned: "Feibai, let's go." Put things away first, and then study them slowly. ”
"Well, I won't be able to see anything for a while."
Yu Feibai touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "But I looked at the income and expenditure situation for several months, and found that the antique business is really flexible. Sometimes you can earn hundreds of thousands, but sometimes you don't make any money, plus business taxes, water and electricity bills, etc., but there is a deficit. ”
"It's normal, people often say that antique shops don't open for three years, and they open for three years, which should be the reason." Wang Guan said with a smile: "As long as you can maintain profits for a whole year." ”
"That's right." Yu Feibai said with a smile: "Qian Lao once said that in fact, the store is just a hub to keep in touch with customers. There are actually a lot of accounts that don't go through the books......"
When Wang Guan heard this, he immediately understood, how to say that he had also been in Jiguzhai for a while, and he also somewhat understood the unspoken rules in this industry. This kind of "small business" of less than 100,000 yuan can naturally be recorded in the account to facilitate tax payment. However, the "big business" of more than hundreds of thousands of dollars is generally traded privately, and the accounts are not taken.
Of course, tax avoidance is one thing, mainly due to the principle of secrecy. Neither buyers nor sellers are reluctant to disclose it to the public, lest it attract the covetousness of some people. Anyway, you can't figure out how deep the water in the antique industry is purely from the books, and you need to wade through it yourself to understand the depths.
At this time, the two put the account book and walked out of the warehouse, Yu Feibai asked, "By the way, suddenly there is an extra store, what are you going to do?" Opening a store is not a simple matter, there are a lot of tedious tasks, you had better ask Qian Lao for advice. ”
"Of course, you must ask for advice." Wang Guan nodded slightly, and then sighed: "My brain is very messy now, and I have a feeling that I have a lot of ideas, but I have nowhere to start. ”
"That's because this incident is so unexpected, you don't have any mental preparation for this, you must have no idea." Yu Feibai smiled: "If it were me, the first thing would be to rename the store." ”
"What is the name of the store?" Wang Guan was a little stunned.
"That's right." Yu Feibai said with great interest: "Your own store, do you still want to use other people's signboards?" I must have thought of another one. ”
"It seems to be." Wang Guan agreed, and then frowned: "However, what should I choose?" ”
"Flying White Pavilion!" Yu Feibai enthusiastically suggested.
"Get out!"
Wang Guan didn't bother to pay attention to this guy, and walked down the stairs quickly, just in time to see Bai Ye and Xu Qing pointing around, as if they were discussing some kind of research.
"What are you talking about?" Wang Guan was a little curious, so he simply asked directly.
"We think the shop is a bit old, and if you take over, it will definitely need to be renovated." Xu Qing smiled: "Anyway, it's boring, Bai Ye and I are discussing how to design and decorate." ”
"Is there a plan?" Wang Guan asked casually.
"Yes, I think it's okay to ...... like this" Xu Qing was not polite, and said her opinion in a snapping voice, quite a bit of scolding Fang Xuan's bearing.
"Ahem......" Wang Guan listened for a moment, feeling that the situation described by Xu Qing was quite familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, wasn't that the layout of the boutique jewelry store they visited yesterday?
Thinking of this, Wang Guan smiled helplessly, and it was not easy to interrupt rashly, so he had to nod perfunctorily, and only promised.
"Okay, that's great."
Next to him, Yu Feibai was undisciplined and admired: "It should be arranged like this." ”
"Well, that's good."
Under Yu Feibai's hint, Wang Guan echoed his conscience, and then quickly changed the topic: "It's noon, let's go back to dinner." It is estimated that Qian Lao is also waiting for us......"
"Gone, gone." Yu Feibai also greeted: "By the way, by the way, help Wang Guan think of a store name." ”
"What is the name of the store?"
"Yes, in fact, Feibai Pavilion is also very good, but it's a pity that someone doesn't know the goods......"
"Cheeky."
Amid the laughter, several people returned to the gate of the mansion. As soon as he entered the door, Yu Feibai couldn't help but complain: "Old Qian, you are too good at hiding from people, you know what is going on, but you just don't tell us." ”
"Isn't it your forte to learn from you, to hang people's appetites?" Qian Lao smiled lightly: "This is to give you an unexpected surprise, why are you not happy." ”
For a moment, Yu Feibai was speechless. After making a little joke, Qian Lao looked at Wang Guan: "How is the store, are you still satisfied?" ”
"Very satisfied." Wang Guancan said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I would like to thank Mr. Qian for threading the needle and helping to make peace." ”
"It's just a coincidence." Qian Lao waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's also Brother Chen's intention, otherwise it will be useless no matter how hard I try." I hope you will live up to his expectations and continue to operate well. ”
"I will." Wang Guan nodded hurriedly.
At this moment, Yu Feibai said with a smile: "Old Qian, things are a little sudden, Wang Guan doesn't know how to run an antique shop at all, and he is still worried about the name of the signboard store, what do you have to propose?" ”
"The name of the store is the next ......"
At this time, Qian Lao muttered: "I think the top priority should be to hire a big shopkeeper. ”
"The big shopkeeper?"
Wang Guan was somewhat surprised, and then thought about it.
"That's right, it's the big shopkeeper, the experienced big shopkeeper."
Qian Lao pointed out: "Although it is often said that ambition is not old, but your face is too young, and your experience is a little shallow." When it comes to the doorway in the antique shop, you're just in the stage where you know it but don't know why. ”
"In this case, having an experienced shopkeeper to help manage the store will definitely be a big help for you. When dealing with peers or customers, you can reduce a lot of unnecessary suspicions. ”
Qian Lao smiled slightly: "Besides, you are still young, and you prefer to wander, and your home is not in the capital, so you will definitely not stay in one place for a long time." Then when you leave the capital, you still have someone to help you take care of your business, wouldn't you feel much more at ease. ”
"That's right, there is a big shopkeeper to help you sit in the hall, you just need to check the account book every once in a while, and you can be the proprietor behind the scenes leisurely." Yu Feibai thought so, and said with great agreement: "It's still Qian Lao who thinks carefully, and he deserves to be a big proprietor ...... who has experience in exploitation" (to be continued.) )
