In mid-November, the weather in Yanjing was already very cold, and several people had just returned from the south, and they were still a little uncomfortable. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, the abundance of this harvest made Zheng Shusen full of confidence in the new company. In fact, all walks of life are the same, whether it is marketing, sales, or service, a new brand may rise if it is done well, but in the final analysis, it will definitely fall on product quality.

For jewelry companies, design is also very important, but the most fundamental thing is actually the quality of the gemstone itself, which is beyond doubt, and what is the jewelry company with Li Yi afraid of?

"Old Five, is it okay for me to call you Fifth Brother? You can't just leave it alone! You look at the materials you have prepared, glass species, mutton fat white jade, all kinds of hair crystals, and the best pearls...... It's good, but it can't be all of that! ”

After gambling on pearls, Li Yi gave himself a small vacation, preparing to rest at home for two days. Unexpectedly, just after a day off, he was blocked by Zheng Shusen at home.

Moreover, this time it was not one person to block him, this time it was Zheng Shusen, Tan Moxuan, and even Wang Changcai, who was newly recruited to be in charge of jewelry sales, all came together.

"What do you mean? Aren't these materials enough? What more could you want? ”

Zheng Shusen glanced at Tan Moxuan with a bitter face and motioned for him to say.

Tan Moxuan coughed and said:

"That's right, Xiao Zheng means that although the best things are very good, but now that we are opening a company, of course, we can't all be some excellent things, otherwise the customer base is too narrow. In fact, now our museum has also encountered this situation, there is no shortage of top-level things, but there is a lack of a large number of ordinary cultural relics that can support the museum......"

"I see, what do you say to do?"

"It's easy to do a jewelry company, just go to the market and buy it, but the museum is ...... I think so, after we register, can we first use your oil paintings to exchange for a batch of ordinary cultural relics? This time, we don't ask for good, we only ask for more! However, I thought again, those oil paintings of yours are too precious, and it is a waste to exchange them for these things. What do you think you should do about this? ”

Li Yi frowned, indeed, the number of first-class and second-class and national treasure-level cultural relics he now has, let alone an ordinary museum, and even some smaller provincial museums can't compare, but in terms of the total number of cultural relics, he is really far behind.

If he followed his previous thinking, of course, he didn't need to think about it, but now that his thinking has undergone a fundamental change, he can't help but think about it.

"In this case, you first contact Rogov and ask him to help collect a batch of relatively ordinary cultural relics, and we will buy them with money if there are no things to exchange! By the way, I have some oil paintings here, although the author is also relatively well-known, but the price is not high, you can discuss with him to see if you want to trade with museums or with those antique dealers......"

"On the third side, this is also the way of thinking, some mid-range jewelry will be purchased directly in the market, in fact, in addition to the initial investment, even if I bet on good things in the future, I will not invest in the company in the form of capital injection......"

Zheng Shusen nodded,

"Okay, since you say so, I'll do it as such. By the way, this is a list made by me, Mr. Wang and Master Yang Yun, which indicates some of the required raw materials and the current market price, you can take a look at it first. ”

Li Yi took the list, and frowned just by looking at it, how could these things be so expensive? The price of a very ordinary ice species dares to reach 500,000 kilograms, and the price of a piece of so-so green and white jade is tens of millions! This......

Seeing Li Yi frowning, Zheng Shusen proudly gave Tan Moxuan a color.

Li Yi, this guy, whether it is jade, Hetian jade, or crystal, or even wood, is gambling all the way back, although he also has a certain understanding of the market price of various low-end materials, but understanding is one thing, and it is another thing to really let him pay for it.

He definitely can't stand the price, it's definitely going to be too expensive! Especially now that the company is not officially running, and all of it is invested, he must not be able to accept this price!

So, what does he do when he feels it's too expensive? You don't even have to think about this, just look at his performance in Zhuji!

I have to say that Zheng Shusen still knows Li Yi well, after reading this price list a few times, Li Yi smiled bitterly and said helplessly:

"You mean, these mid-range jewels also need me to gamble on a batch first?"

"That's right! Lao Wu, in fact, there is still a misunderstanding of the concept here, that is, what is mid-range and what is high-end. Because we have you, an all-round master, even the glass species and mutton fat white jade are counted in kilograms, but in other companies, these are counted in grams! So you think that the jewelry made of these materials is only high-end, and the jewelry made of ice and white jade is mid-range, but other companies are not like this, and they even call some good ice products the best! ”

"It's good to have more good things, but sometimes it's a trouble to be too good, after all, the price of the best is not affordable for everyone, even for those big customers, so ......"

Li Yi waved his hand, this matter is indeed something he owes to consider, in fact, as long as he thinks about the reaction of those people every time he bets on the glass seed, he should know that he is definitely an exception, an absolutely right exception.

Moreover, from the perspective of company management, it is not a good thing to take out too many good things at one time, and scarcity is expensive, which is the truth.

"Okay, so what do you say next? It's not realistic for me to gamble alone, and it's not the norm for a company to operate! ”

"Hey, you can't say that! Those companies that mainly deal in jadeite and Hetian jade, which company does not raise gambling stones? It's all about buying clear materials, and no one can stand it! ”

"So, I think so, in the future, of course, we will also walk on two legs: market procurement and gambling stones. But at the moment, because we don't know the future prospects, we can still save this money, and spend less if we can, so that everyone is less stressed...... Why don't you rest for two days first, and then let's go to Manchuria again? ”

Li Yi smiled bitterly, Manchuria is located at the junction of China, Mongolia and Russia. The State Council has determined the national key development and opening up pilot zone, and Sino-Russian trade is very prosperous.

Because of the contraction of the supply of Hetian jade in Xinjiang in recent years, Russian materials have gradually become popular, so Manchuria has slowly formed a relatively large Russian material trading market, and naturally, gambling jade has flourished in this place.

In addition, there are not only abundant agate mines around Manzhouli, but also open-air agate rough stones can be picked up on the Gobi Desert, Hulun Lake and Bear Lake nearby, so there are also many agate trading markets.

Zheng Shusen proposed to go to Manchuria to gamble on jade, which was not only to bet on Russian materials, but also to take a fancy to the agate resources over there.

However, since the jewelry company has been opened, jadeite, Hetian jade, crystal, and pearl have all been made, so it is understandable to add a natural agate. So Li Yi thought about it for a while, and nodded in agreement, anyway, for him, this thing is even more effortless than bending down to pick up money one by one, so why not do it?

Especially after the perspective distance increases, you don't even need to bend down to know the quality of the materials in the rough stone.

The two discussed it and set a time to go to Manchuria, Zheng Shusen got up and said goodbye to arrange the itinerary, and Li Yi and Tan Moxuan discussed the museum.

The first is the location, which should not be too controversial. Because since it has been opened with great fanfare, it is definitely necessary to consider the issue of efficiency, even if it cannot be profitable, at least it must be achieved to break even, and it cannot be posted every year.

Since you think about operations, you must also consider the flow of people. If you want to have foot traffic, you must be in a big city, so basically there is nothing to choose, you can only be in Yanjing.

However, in Yanjing, although the flow of people can be guaranteed, the location of the museum is a big problem. If it's too remote, people are too lazy to run, and in the city center, how can they get land? Even if you rent a house, because of the special nature of the museum, if you don't plan in advance, you won't be able to rent anything suitable at all.

"Alright, leave this question to me, wait until I find someone to ask first. As for you, not only do you have to pay attention to the problem of cultural relics, but also help me find an experienced curator as soon as possible...... Wait, I look like I've got someone to choose from! That's right...... You wait a minute. ”

As he spoke, Li Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, he took out his mobile phone, called up a number, and dialed it directly.

After a while, the phone went through.

"Sister Mo, what have you been busy with lately?"

There was a crisp laugh on the other end of the phone,

"Yo, it's Li Yi, you kid still remembers your Sister Mo, what's wrong? Something? ”

Mo Jinxuan on the other end of the phone smiled and teased Li Yi, the few ancient paintings that this guy got out of the top box are really amazing, and now even her colleagues are talking about it, and several of their curators have also moved the idea of mobilizing Li Yi to donate, and they are thinking about who will come forward these days!

Because of the relationship between their family and Zhong Haoqing's family, this task is likely to fall on her head in the end, so she was thinking about finding a time to probe Li Yi's tone in the past two days, but she didn't expect him to take the initiative to call her.

"I can't look for you if it's okay? Sister Mo, have you had time lately? I want to treat you to a meal. ”

"Hehe, you also know that the museum is a pension unit, what can you do in normal times? Say, when to please, where to eat? ”

Li Yi looked at the time and said:

"Then it's better to choose a day, let's go to Shoubo at noon today, and you can choose the restaurant."

"Okay, it just so happens that Sister Mo also wants to ask you about something, so I'll see you at noon?"

Hanging up the phone, Li Yi turned his head and explained to Tan Moxuan,

"Sister Mo is the daughter of Mo Lao in the company, she works in the Capital Museum, it seems that she is in charge of the porcelain hall inside, let's talk to her first and see if we can dig her up."

Tan Moxuan nodded, Li Yi wants to open a museum, technical personnel, research projects are very easy to do, there are many licensed appraisers in Tongrui Bao, and a few can be solved by just a few at that time, but the management personnel are a problem, and it is of course the best to poach people from a big museum like Shoubo.

At noon, in the small private room of the Pamir restaurant near Lianchi East Road, Li Yi saw Mo Jinxuan, who he hadn't seen for almost half a year. In addition to the pair of pastel bowls at the beginning, the two of them had several dealings because of the relationship between the Mo family and the Zhong family, and Li Yi admired the personalities of both their father and daughter.

When they met, the first thing the two talked about was of course the pair of coral red ground pastel peony bowls in the Daoguang period, between which Mo Jinxuan first grinned, and then said:

"Li Yi, now the valuation of the pastel bowl has exceeded 11 million, how long has it been? What, regret no? ”

Li Yi snorted twice, not to mention the pastel in the Daoguang period, even if it was the pastel of the third generation of the Qing Dynasty, he was not lacking! And at that time, the money was used to buy a villa, and Yanyuan's villa was cheap, not to mention that it was also accompanied by an oil painting worth more than 30 million US dollars, how could he regret it?

Mo Jinxuan glanced at his expression, patted his head, and said with a smile:

"Also, you kid just got five or six famous paintings worth tens of millions this time, and you still care about that money? By the way, let me ask you something, what are you going to do with those paintings? ”

"Hehe, what else can I do? It's true that it won't be sold anyway. ”

"You kid thinks beautifully, it's either a first-class cultural relic or a second-class cultural relic, and you can't sell it if you want to! Do you want Sister Mo to help you come up with an idea? ”

"Haha, Sister Mo, you don't want me to donate it to your museum, do you? You're a little too dedicated, aren't you? Besides, aren't you in charge of the porcelain hall? When did you care about ancient paintings? ”

"Say what? Is this called enlightenment? Besides, your sister Mo is now the deputy director, how can you do it without thinking about the museum? Let's say okay first, if you don't want to donate, I can't help it, if you donate, I tell you, no one can give it but me! ”

"Yo, I've become the deputy curator, then it seems that I've really found the right person!"

"What, you're looking for me?"

"Well, I really have something to ask Sister Mo for your advice."

"Oh, come on, I really don't know what I can tell you."

Li Yi thought about it for a while, and decided to take a detour first and probe her tone before talking.

"Sister Mo, that's the case, I've been thinking about setting up a private museum recently, but as you know, I don't have any experience in this area, so I want to consult you, and by the way, I also want you to help me introduce a few managers."

"A private museum?"

Mo Jinxuan was stunned for a moment, she really didn't expect that Li Yi would actually want to set up a museum.

"A museum needs at least a few thousand artifacts to build a foundation, do you have that many? Don't tell me you, as a museum, are counting on those paintings to prop up the façade. ”

"Hehe, how is that possible? Sister Mo, I plan to open a few halls in this museum first, one is the ancient calligraphy and painting art, the other is the porcelain hall, the other is a jade hall and a comprehensive hall, and the approximate number of cultural relics should be more than 5,000 pieces. I want you to help me sum up, how big a venue is needed, and where is it more appropriate to build a venue. ”

"Five thousand? Are you partnering with someone else? ”

Mo Jinxuan remembered that Li Yi was still a layman who didn't know anything when he sold her the pair of pastel bowls, although he can often hear some news about his leaks these days, but even if he is picking up leaks every day, it is impossible to support a museum, so I guess he is cooperating with others.

"No, this museum is my own. Sister Mo, in fact, at the beginning, I didn't want to make such a big fuss......"

Li Yi told him about his general thoughts, and Mo Jinxuan said softly "oh" and said:

"And what artifacts do you probably have now? You know, a museum costs a lot, and without some pillars, it can't attract tourists, but it's bound to lose money! ”

"I don't have to worry too much about cultural relics, and it's almost enough to add some ordinary ones recently. By the way, Sister Mo, you take a look at my cultural relics first, and by the way, help me staff how to get the security, I'm just black-eyed now! ”

Li Yi said as he opened the tablet he carried, recently he sorted out his collection of cultural relics, and found that with these, it should be no problem to attract a certain amount of traffic, but in terms of the number of collections, it is indeed a lot worse.

Although he didn't record all his collected photos into the computer, just showing them to Mo Jinxuan scared Mo Jinxuan a lot, but the first thing she paid attention to also made Li Yi a little crying and laughing.

The first thing Mo Jinxuan opened was Li Yi's folder marked with jewelry and jade. And in this document house, Li Yi not only put in some finished jewelry, but also put in the more outstanding raw materials in his hand.

"Oh my God...... Nanyang white beads with a diameter of 25.1 mm, a jade glass whole material weighing 24 kilograms, a big red robe rough, and a white jade weighing more than 300 kilograms...... Oh my God, these are yours? Where did you get it from? ”

Mo Jinxuan saw that there was a pigeon's blood ruby rough stone weighing more than 30 carats that was almost perfect without cutting, a Louis Boya cut diamond weighing 20 carats, and those crystal rough stones of different colors, but all of them were precious and rare, and she almost fainted on the spot.

This guy, other people's jewelry showrooms, are all some molded jewelry, although they are also very precious, but, even if they are precious, after all, the size is limited, but these guys take out, although most of them are still rough stones, this head is too scary, right? How is this possible? (To be continued.) )
