Chapter 795: The Jade Mine is in Hand
After confirming that everything was normal on the museum's side, and it would only get better and better, Li Yi let go of a big matter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 To be honest, whether it is opening a jewelry company or buying a mine, there is no pressure, and he is under a certain amount of pressure just from this museum.
Of course, this pressure does not come from the collections, even if these collections are expensive and take up more funds, he will not say anything more because of this. Because even if he doesn't open a museum or exhibit it, he basically won't exchange them for banknotes, at most, it's just a little less for ordinary collections.
But how much money can that take up? Thousands of ordinary pieces may not be as large as one large piece!
However, if he is allowed to post money in addition to the collection, he will be a little unhappy.
He posted money to change his reputation, although there is nothing bad, he is not short of this money. However, with his collections, he has nothing to do to take out a few pieces, and he runs around to attend some gatherings within the industry, or a few times, this reputation and status must be there. Although it is certainly not as loud as opening a museum, after all, the investment is small and the safety factor is also high!
What now? Now he not only took out a mansion worth 1.5 billion, but also hired a large number of employees, and the investment in this renovation and security alone has thrown tens of millions, as well as the fixed expenses every year in the future, just to let others see the true face of these collections?
He's really not that noble!
Therefore, whether the museum can be self-reliant has become a very important indicator, he does not seek to make money, and the requirement of supporting himself is not outrageous, right? He even considered that once the museum really lost money, and it was quite bad, it would simply close after a few years!
It's just that, now it seems, it doesn't seem to have to worry about this anymore.
But then, he had some gains and losses, what if he couldn't become a traitor?
If you don't become a traitor, it may not have much impact on the museum. However, when he really appreciated the benefits of leaning against a big tree, he suddenly had a feeling of reluctance!
Islands, Yachts, Private Jets......
It's not that he can't afford these things, nor can he afford to enjoy them, but it feels different!
Especially, he used to be silently playing stand-alone alone, even if some people know that he has a lot of good things in his hands, but after all, it's not so eye-catching, isn't it?
What now? Now that everything about him is in front of everyone, in case, if someone takes a fancy to these properties of his, with his current connections and strength, can he keep it? Or even if he can keep it, but how much will he have to pay?
The jewelry company is simple, it's a big deal not to play, and selling it as raw materials is nothing more than a matter of making more money and making less money. But what about the collection? You know, there are so many things here, he doesn't want to sell them at all!
That's why he attaches so much importance to that holy plate and to the shelter provided by the church. That's why after he knew that the church's shelter had hidden dangers, he ventured to find Wang Haoqing and tried to see if he could get some stable promises from his motherland.
He was lucky enough to get the promise he wanted, but he was also compensated with a lot of money. However, all this is based on the premise that the next negotiations between the two sides can be reached.
He believes that the church is not stupid, they only need a little effort, or even effort to understand, to know what he and Wang Haoqing have done. This is just a matter of looking at Adrian. Arthur's attitude is known, so hurried over, but calmly waited for him for more than a day, this still doesn't explain the problem?
So, don't look at him showing that he doesn't pay much attention to negotiations, but that's just a performance. It's like lamenting that people are doing things in the sky, and people are not as good as the sky, it's just a kind of helpless passive acceptance, in fact, in his heart, he still wishes that he could become a traitor as soon as possible!
Wait, at this point, there's not much he can do. In fact, the initiative in the negotiation may not be in their hands from the beginning, because all their bargaining chips are just a bone china plate!
A bone china plate, said to be a holy object, is actually just a symbol. If you pay attention to it, it may be amazing, but if it is really beyond the capacity of the church, it is nothing more than a bone china plate!
Time passed slowly in this torment, and for a whole week, even Wang Haoqing did not know how far the negotiations had progressed.
"Director Li, it's May Day soon, you say, our museum, should we limit the number of visitors like the Forbidden City? If it goes on like this, I'm really worried that one day I won't be able to hold on......"
Li Yi has Li Yi's troubles, and Mo Jinxuan also has Mo Jinxuan's worries. It's just that she is worried, but not because the business is not good, but because the business is really good!
Since the opening of the museum, it has been almost ten days, but except for the first few days, the number of visitors every day has never been less than 10,000!
A simple calculation shows that the courtyard has a construction area of almost 4,000 square meters, an exhibition hall area of more than 2,000 square meters, and more than 10,000 visitors in one day.
However, this is not the case, the actual situation is that no matter what time it is, the museum is full of people, and no matter what kind of collection, if you want to see it, you have to wait at least a minute or two! Especially for popular exhibits such as "Mona Lisa" and "Acupuncture Bronze Man", you won't be able to get along without a ten-point wait!
At this point, just think about the Forbidden City, the Forbidden City covers an area of almost 720,000 square meters, but it is limited to receive up to 80,000 visitors per day.
Li Yi took the sales report and looked at it for a while, nodded with a wry smile, the sales are quite attractive, almost more than 300,000 per day, but if it goes on like this, it is indeed a bit of a desperate posture.
"If not, adjust the price, it is also divided into off-season tickets and peak season tickets, and the off-season will be said in the future, and the peak season will be doubled first. In addition, the original warehouse and those rooms reserved for the laboratory have also been vacated, which should increase the exhibition area of several hundred square meters......"
Hearing this, Wang Changcai and Zheng Shusen, who were sitting on the side, both smiled bitterly, these two guys came to Li Yi to report the results of the spring auction, but they didn't expect to hear the news, there are many people here, and they are going to open up the basement into an exhibition hall, but what about them?
On their side, it must be a bit exaggerated to describe it as a doorman, but what is really consumed in the store is estimated to be multiplied by a large coefficient to reach the level of doorman!
"Hehe, how can this be compared? You don't open for three years, you don't open for three years, and I can't sell a piece of jewelry for a month! Mo Jinxuan seemed to be modest, but her tone was full of pride.
"Although I said that, I have never tried this feeling, Sister Mo, guarding such a big stall and no one every day......
"Yo, that's just right, why don't we change it in the next week? You come here to help me keep an eye on it, I will go to you to enjoy the blessings, and if I continue to be so busy, I estimate that ten years less will be less! ”
"Ahem, forget about this, we don't understand anything, and we only have the ...... to make a mess when we come" Seeing that they were going to pass the real fire, the two guys immediately stopped complaining, what kind of jokes, they didn't do the work that they were idle and had money for, and they came here to suffer this crime, they weren't stupid enough to this extent.
"Let's just say it for the time being, go back to the real estate agent and ask, if the two houses next door are for sale, if you can buy one and re-layout it, I estimate that there should be no problem with a 50% expansion of the exhibition hall area."
Although this courtyard house has also been renovated, neither Li Yi nor Mo Jinxuan nor they expected that the business would be so prosperous, so the renovation is mainly focused on safety transformation, but the pattern has not changed much.
And this courtyard house, originally according to the layout of the home, of course, how comfortable how to come, in terms of area, it is inevitable that there is some waste, reflected in the exhibition hall, the area that can be used for exhibition is a little small.
However, now it is impossible to renovate, and we can only find ways to expand outward. Although the area of the two courtyard houses next door is not very large, and the big one is only more than 600 square meters, but there is preparation, a good layout, the area on the ground is used, at least more than 1,000 square meters of exhibition area can be made.
If you are more ruthless, there will be no emptiness at all, and a two-story building will be built as an exhibition hall, and it will be no problem to add 2,000 square meters!
"That's the only way, I'll arrange for someone to ask when I go back."
Li Yi nodded, turned to Wang Changcai and Zheng Shusen and said, "Here in the jewelry company, you don't have to worry, this is not a matter of urgency." However, judging from the effect of this auction, it seems that the auction is also a very good way. Next, you can try to go out more, Shanghai, Yangcheng, Pengcheng, and even Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and other places can also try to contact them, maybe you can really find a new way? ”
Hearing this, Wang Changcai's eyes couldn't help but light up, yes, if you can control the resources of dozens of auction companies in your hands, even if you only send one auction a year, it will be hundreds of millions of revenues, why haven't you thought about it before?
"This path can indeed be tried, and I think the success rate will be high, because so far, in terms of raw materials, I haven't seen a company that can compare with us!"
"Look at your little bit of life! Raw materials! You sell finished jewelry, not raw materials, so if the raw materials are good, they will definitely be able to sell at a high price? You have to be good at making jewelry from relatively ordinary materials that can fetch sky-high prices! ”
In this spring auction, Yicheng Jewelry was indeed a great success, and several auction houses created more than 300 million yuan in income for them. However, 100% of the jewelry they sent to auction this time were the top jewelry, and these materials were also extremely rare in Li Yi's reserves, that is to say, such a miracle could not be replicated many times.
"Understand, we'll call them to a meeting when we go back and study it well."
After waiting for another day, there was still no news from the negotiation side, but there was news from Zhou Hang's side that the loan was finally done.
The loan is done, which proves that the contract can be executed, and the Hetian jade mine, which is worth more than 30 billion yuan, is also an existence that Li Yi cannot be taken lightly, so he immediately contacted Wang Haoqing and Brother Hong, and half a day later, several new and old shareholders got together.
"Brother, I hope your luck is better than mine."
Holding the signed contract, Brother Hong's expression was a little complicated, don't look at the fact that he and Li Yi are barely friends now, but sooner or later, Li Yi will understand that he was actually fooled this time, and when the time comes, it will be good if he doesn't turn his face into an enemy, and his friend naturally has nothing to do.
However, even husband and wife will go their separate ways when disaster strikes, let alone their relationship? The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and you can't blame others if you have a problem with your own vision.
After signing the contract, it took another half a day to hand over the mine, and all the formalities were completed.
"Alright, now you can always talk, right? What exactly did you find here? Seeing Brother Hong leave with his people, Zhou Hang finally couldn't help but ask.
Li Yi smiled indifferently and stretched, "Except for the big ore vein, what else is worth letting me take?" ”
"Oh? Big veins? Isn't it the one they found? Zhou Hang's eyes lit up suddenly.
"No, I didn't even think of that." Li Yi smiled bitterly, it was that small vein that made them spend at least a billion more, but their luck was not bad, if that vein was bigger, I was afraid that this business would be blown up.
He casually circled seven or eight places on the map of the mining area in front of him, "Next, let them focus on exploring these places, and in addition, this place can directly arrange someone to evaluate it to see if it is worth mining." ”
"Oh?" Zhou Hang and Wang Haoqing both came over, and saw that the place Li Yi pointed to was not the small vein that had been explored before, so they couldn't help but glance at each other, and finally Zhou Hang couldn't hold his breath and asked: "This piece, there is also jade?" ”
"No, this is an open-pit kyanite mine, but I don't know the scale and reserves, so I have to ask professionals to go over and have a look."
"In the open air, it shouldn't be worth mining, right? Otherwise, how could Lao Hong let them go? Zhou Hang looked at the map for a long time, straightened up and glanced at the time, "Forget it, take Lao Han and them, let's go over and see, the open-pit mine, I haven't seen what the open-pit gem mine looks like!"
