Chapter 89: The Cow Man on CCTV!
"Master, go to East Lake Flower and Bird Street." After Wu Shixiang and Er Shuai were full of wine and food, they rested until three o'clock and went out to take a taxi to their destination.
"Are you going to the cultural entertainment market? Where did it come from? "My brother is very talkative and chats while driving.
"Kyoto people, come here and see the local characteristics." Wu Shixiang replied, and asked by the way: "I went to the park morning market in the morning, there was no suitable goods, the things were average, and the price was expensive." Isn't East Lake better? ”
The brother smiled: "Where there are many tourists in the morning market, the natural price is high, and it is the most uneconomical place." Generally, regular customers go to East Lake Flowers and Birds, which used to be a flower, bird, fish and insect market, and then the cultural toys became hot and slowly became the cultural toys market. The merchants in it are all the people who did it earlier, and they are more interesting than the morning market. ”
Haikou is not big, and it will take a while to drive, and the two got out of the car. The flower and bird market is a street, with many storefronts on both sides, divided into AB area. Wu Shixiang did not go directly to Xiao Zheng, but went around first, and found that the Huanghuali here is very complete, with pieces, ornaments, and handicrafts.
Of course, the most is the bracelet, which is hard currency, and the most general new material is sold here for five or six hundred, and the wholesale can be cheaper. The quality of old materials generally starts at 2,000, and the best ones are 30,000. Both the quality and the condition are much better than the morning market, and it seems that it is the right place.
"What is the origin of Xiao Zheng you are looking for?" The second marshal asked, he hadn't seen it, it should be a merchant contacted online.
"It's a play wood forum to know, I have traded a few times, locals, people are very real, mainly the goods are good. I've sold a few strings to others, and one of them had some problems, and he replaced it with a new one without saying a word, so I came to see it. ”
Wu Shixiang used to mainly make red sandalwood and Xingyue, and at that time he had no money in his hands and couldn't afford to work huanghuali, but if there were regular customers who wanted it, he could also find a bunch or two. is to enter Xiao Zheng's goods, and then make a small difference, of course, I have also found other local merchants in Hainan, and this person is reliable in comparison.
"People are even better now, I'm amazing on Kyoto TV, people just appeared on the Central Second Set a few months ago, that consumer proposition program. Specially introduced in several issues, Huanghuali special session is Xiao Zheng who came to Hainan to find. His name is Xiao Zheng on the Internet, and he is almost forty, let's call Brother Zheng. ”
Brother Zheng's shop is at No. 56 in Area B, Wu Shixiang turned around the market for an hour, had a bottom on the market situation, bought some fruit at the door, couldn't be empty-handed for the first time, and finally came to the store.
The face of the door is not big, that is, more than 20 square meters, and when I pushed the door open, I saw that Brother Zheng happened to be in the house. He has been on TV, he is very thin, and Wu Shixiang knows him.
"Brother Zheng, business is booming, I'm Xiao Wu of Kyoto Muyuanju, and I'm finally here to visit you."
Brother Zheng was stunned for a moment, and after listening to the words, he quickly stood up happily, walked up and greeted him: "I was about to call and ask when you will arrive?" A few days ago, you said you were coming, but you didn't say a specific day, hurry, please come in. ”
Although the two met for the first time, they chatted a lot on the Internet, so they were very familiar. Brother Zheng is a good person, in addition to selling goods, he usually has time to tell Wu Shixiang about Huang Huali's experience, he has been doing this for more than ten years, and he has local connections, can he go to the second set of the central government?
"Xiao Wu, you were really in the limelight last month, Walnut Treasure Club! All of a sudden, the town of Kyoto, right? Brother Zheng asked the two of them to sit down, poured good tea, and joked as soon as he opened his mouth.
"You're polite, just have fun, you can also receive Kyotodai here?"
"Now there's the Internet, you can see everything. I've always been a fan of cultural play financial management, and I said that there are very few cultural play shows, and it is the most professional, and I also watched the last episode of your bet on wood. You kid is a real person who doesn't show his face, his eyesight is really poisonous! ”
Brother Zheng is also very curious about Wu Shixiang, he has only dealt with him a few times before, and he has nothing to chat, he originally thought he was a small shopkeeper, but he didn't expect to become a popular figure in the past few months, and the last two TV episodes detonated the literary circle. Later, he also asked someone to inquire about Mu Yuanju, but the result was terrible, the business was booming, and he was making money every day. I heard that he was coming to Hainan, and he was ready to meet this strange person.
"My level is nothing?" Wu Shixiang waved his hand and asked with a smile: "It's hard to go to a local TV station?" Then you are on CCTV, isn't it better? ”
"Hahaha, that time was also luck, they happened to do a Huanghuali show, and an acquaintance introduced me to find me, just to introduce the variety, unlike you kid, once shocked the audience, you are more powerful."
Brother Zheng said that it was nothing, but it was difficult to hide the smug look on his face, too, if the person who sells bracelets can go to the central station once, it can be regarded as the glory of the ancestors, right?
A few words, everyone is closer, they are all business people, and they welcome the kind words that come casually. Wu Shixiang came all the way here to find long-term cooperative businesses, and Brother Zheng even figured out that Guò Mu Yuanju expanded its sales channels, and it was a good thing to hit it off.
"You're here to touch the bottom of Haihuang this time, right? It's good that I just came in with a batch of goods, come and see. ”
Brother Zheng is familiar with people as soon as he sees them, and he goes straight to the point and lets Wu Shixiang see the goods, mainly because the goods are good to have business, and everything else is false.
He took out a pocket of bracelets from the counter, it should have been just skewered and at least twenty or thirty strings, and put it on the table for Wu Shixiang to see for himself.
Wu Shixiang picked it up and looked at the goods in a string, he used to look at the pictures, so he was naturally not comfortable to use. This batch of goods are all avocados, and the worst is also water waves, there are no new materials and currency, and Brother Zheng is also taking the high-quality route, and he has good things in his hands.
"This batch is all just collected from the countryside, there are Bawangling, and there are eight, all of them are avocados, submerged, oily and good, better than the one you took last time."
"Well, it seems that it's different on CCTV! Business is better now, right? Wu Shixiang nodded, these materials are obviously much better than before, it seems that Brother Zheng's business is more prosperous, and he has the confidence to take the materials.
Brother Zheng nodded and agreed: "You are also often on TV, and the publicity effect is indeed good." At least the customers are more likely to recognize our genuine products, which is very important. Especially in online sales, there are too many fakes, I used to talk about ten to make a business, but now many people take the initiative to ask me to get the goods, and the business is much better. ”
He didn't hide it, since he wanted to cooperate with Mu Yuanju for a long time, it was better to be open and honest. Speaking of which, Wu Shixiang should have more initiative, after all, people are famous in Kyoto, and players are recognized, and it must be beneficial for him to be able to catch this line.
And Mu Yuanju does not necessarily find himself, Hainan does a lot of huanghuali, and there are several companies in this market with equal strength, if it weren't for the previous contact, this good thing is really not necessarily their own.
"You usually go down to collect the material and then come back to process it yourself, right?"
"Yes, after all, I did it early, I have a network of contacts, the mountain people know me, and many people will contact me if they have information, and I will go down to collect it. I come back and process it at the factory by myself. Hey, saying that the factory is too big, that is, the workshop of a few people, you also know that I mainly make bracelets, which is not a big deal. ”
Wu Shixiang carefully looked at the bracelets, water waves, tiger skins, lines, and grimaces, and the oiliness density was good, especially a few strings of Bawangling tiger skins, with golden foundations, clear patterns, and very domineering.
"This is a few strings of treasures in my collection, which can't be compared with your hundred-year-old walnuts, but they are also rare, you can take a look." Brother Zheng took out five or six strings of top-grade sea yellow from the safe to prove his strength.
Wu Shixiang looked at it, his eyes lit up, this is the best Haihuang bracelet, he has three criteria for evaluation: first, the background color should be clean and pure, the aesthetics of Haihuang are the same as the ancient landscape, first of all, the paper should be good, and then the painting on it can have a meaningful meaning, and the ink color can fully exert the effect.
Rosewood plays with oily density, calm atmosphere; Agarwood is fragrance; Huanghuali is naturally a pattern. Its patterns are flowing and flowing, full of artistic conception and full of imagination. Whether it is the sparkling water waves, or the majestic tiger skin, the grimace is vivid, and the mystery of the tumor scar is rare.
The clean background color means that the wood has grown for enough time, is fully developed, has good oily density, and is beautiful to play with slurry for a long time in the future. The oil line on it will be clear and natural, and the fluorescence will be strong.
The second is that the pattern is clear, the distribution is regular, and the sense of layout is strong. Each condition is superb, the difference is very blurry, the oil line is not strong, and the sense of contrast is not good. The best color contrast is large and the visual impact is strong.
The three extremes must have a pattern at 360 °, and the general boutique sea yellow is only good-looking, and the merchants are looking for the best face to meet people, and the back pattern is average, or even not, which is a hard injury. The so-called best means that no matter which angle, it is the most beautiful and refreshing.
"This is the level of CCTV! The strings are superb, especially this string of tumor scars, which are absolutely full of tumor scars, but unfortunately they are almost full. ”
Wu Shixiang studied every string, these can represent all the qualities of Haihuang, each string is rare to see, this time it is really not in vain.
"These are the bottom goods of the pressure box left over for two or three years, and CCTV also took these photos last time, but the price is very high, and there are acquaintances who want to take it, I have not been willing to give it up, and I have not seen a string of this this year, and there are fewer and fewer good materials."
Brother Zheng is also a person who loves wood, and when he sees a treasure, he can't help but sigh. It is not easy to collect the material by yourself, and it takes at least two or three hundred miles to drive, and hundreds of miles at the farthest. I went up the mountain to find the mountain people to collect it, and many times I returned empty-handed, or I could only collect some small branches and come back, and I drove some prayer beads to earn back the oil money.
"How often do you usually go down?"
"It's hard to say, I just went down once last week, and it is generally ten days and half a month to go around, if someone calls to collect it, this kind of thing is lucky, maybe the mountain people will have good material when they will come out."
Wu Shixiang nodded, looked at it again, picked out ten strings and asked, "What are these prices?" I calculate the cost. ”
"These are all high-quality products, not the best, there are six or seven thousand on the market, if you want five thousand and one string."
"Cheaper!" Wu Shixiang shook his head, Brother Zheng's price was also discounted, but he had to buy at least fifty or sixty strings each time, and this price would definitely not work.
"How much do you want? You also know that Haihuang is not like red sandalwood, sometimes I am out of stock here, and there is a rough number that makes me feel the bottom of my heart. "Brother Zheng is also very cautious, he didn't agree, Muyuanju's business is very good, what if someone asks for a hundred strings at once, he will give it to him, what if this store is out of stock?
"At least 50 strings in the first month, try the water first, I take the boutique route, quality first."
Wu Shixiang calculated, he didn't plan to buy the best, first, it was too expensive, at least twenty or thirty thousand yuan in a string, and the profit was low. The second is that there is a pattern project transformation, and the boutique can become the best, or even the best, and the cost control is within 3,000.
Think about the purchase cost of red sandalwood is less than five hundred, the old sandalwood is only eight hundred, and the cost of a bunch of sea yellow is three or four thousand, which is worthy of being the king of mahogany.
