Chapter 512: Making Bad Friends by Mistake

After two days at home, Tang Dou came to Jinmen again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Lu Peng drove to Guizhuang Airport to pick up Tang Dou and directly pulled Tang Dou to the ancient and modern Tianjin Branch.

After nearly half a year of preparation, a branch has also been opened in Jinmen, the store scale is smaller than the Huangpu store, but there is also a store area of more than 2,000 square meters, and it is also the leading antique store in Jinmen.

Throughout the ages, the Jinmen branch is located at the east entrance of Jinmen Ancient Culture Street, close to the famous mother river of Jinmen, Haihe River, which is much more secluded than the bustling West Street of Ancient Culture Street.

However, doing antique business is originally a quiet business, too lively will make some collectors stay away, quiet in the middle of the noisy is the best choice, like the store on the antique street of Jinling Confucius Temple is not the best choice, although the reputation of the location, but most of the people who attract are some tourists who travel to Jinling, and the Tibetan friends who go there to Taobao are basically some low-end Tibetan friends, and tens of thousands of yuan of objects are good objects in their eyes.

Throughout the ages, we are now taking the boutique route, and the reserve price of antiques displayed in the store is basically not less than 10,000 yuan, and the antiques of more than 100,000 yuan are just some ordinary goods.

It's not that Tang Dou is hypocritical, he really doesn't have any interest in going to ancient times to move those objects that can be exchanged for a cart of silver casually, that kind of thing is basically mass-produced, although it can be regarded as an antique that has been handed down now, but the real value of the collection is not great, and it is not worth bothering about that kind of goods.

Lu Peng is now appointed by Tang Dou as the manager of the Jinmen branch and the manager of the Jinmen branch, with the help of the assistant sent by the company, and Su Xiao's day and night to help Lu Peng recharge, Lu Peng can finally stumble and provoke the beam.

Laughing all the way, Lu Peng parked the car in the parking lot outside the store, and after getting out of the car, Lu Peng pointed to the parking lot and said to Tang Dou with a smile: "Boss, after our store opened here, those people in Jinmen who made a ghost market in front of our store, and they started to serve customers at twelve o'clock every night, which was quite lively, do you want to come and see it at night?" ā€

Since Lu Peng was promoted, the title of Tang Dou has also been changed to boss, which seems to be much closer.

Tang Dou looked at the surrounding environment and said with a smile: "These people are really good at finding a place, this location is close to the Haihe River, it is a good location in the middle of the noise, hehe, they put the ghost market in this is a good thing for us, and it can help us do some publicity." ā€

Lu Peng smiled: "It's not, now you only need to talk about the ghost market when you take a taxi, and the taxi driver will definitely pull you here." ā€

Tang Dou smiled: "Cheng, if there is nothing to do at night, come over and take a walk." ā€

The two of them walked into the store while talking, the layout of the store on three floors, the first and second floors of the store, there is not much to introduce, and the idea of the Huangpu flagship store is completely decorated, the third floor is the company's office area, and a chairman's office is also reserved for Tang Dou, but it is not as luxurious as the Huangpu flagship store, but Tang Dou is already very satisfied.

The two of them walked around the storefront and climbed to the third floor to enter Tang Dou's office.

Lu Peng looked at Tang Dou and asked, "Boss, do you think you want to convene a meeting between the company and the management of the store?" ā€

Tang Dou smiled and waved his hand: "Forget it, you should report to Mengzi after he comes." By the way, where is Fusubi's auction held? ā€

Lu Peng said with a smile: "It's still at the Overseas Chinese Hotel Conference Center, and the hammer will officially open at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and the entire auction is expected to be completed in two days." ā€

Tang Dou snorted, looked at Lu Peng and asked, "Are there any good objects that can be seen in this auction?" ā€

Lu Peng took out a brochure of the Fu Subi auction and handed it to Tang Dou, and said with a smile: "There are a few eye-catching objects, but I noticed during the preview that those few objects seem to be attracting the attention of many big collectors, and I am afraid that it will cost a lot of money if you want to get your hands on them." ā€

Lu Peng knew that Tang Dou was mainly coming for the auction of Fu Subi, and now the company's most important project, the Five Thousand Years Museum, has entered the final stage of interior decoration, and it is getting closer and closer to the official opening date, almost everyone knows that Tang Dou has frequently appeared in the venues of major auctions during this period of time, and the money he spent on buying the collection is already an astronomical amount.

Tang Dou casually flipped through the brochure of Fusubi's auction, and said with a smile: "Do your best." ā€

To be honest, there are only a few lots that Fu Subi can barely see in Tang Dou's eyes, and for Tang Dou's standards for the collection of the upper and lower 5,000-year-old museums, at most he can barely enter the ranks of the collection, and Tang Dou really doesn't have much interest.

However, in the current era of national collection, old gadgets are becoming more and more rare, and under the pursuit of collectors from all walks of life, even if these Tang Beans are not very eye-catching, the final transaction price is also rising.

Antiques have no pricing, the old gadgets will only become less and less, at this time people understand a truth, the price of antiques regardless of what fluctuations, on the whole is still a relatively strong upward trend, people with a little spare money in their hands are clear, the collection of antiques is definitely the best means of asset preservation, the risk is relatively stable compared to other investment means.

But the premise is that you have to have the eyesight to ensure that the antique you buy is not a fake, nor is it an object that has been coaxed up by others.

Not everyone has a foundation in antique appreciation, so most collectors for investment purposes make auctions their preferred investment in antiques.

At least auction houses have experienced appraisers, and every lot that goes up for auction is basically an item that has been authenticated by these appraisers.

That is, the probability of finding a fake at auction is much lower than buying it at an antique shop.

However, due to the participation of some investors for investment purposes, the prices of the lots sold at the auction are one or two percent higher than the prices of similar objects in the market, even so, for those who have only half a foot in the collecting circle, they would rather bid on the collection at the auction.

Tang Dou's trip was for the auction held by Sotheby's in Jinmen, but it was Xiang Zhuang's sword dance intended for Pei Gong.

He flipped through the brochure, closed it with a smile and put it aside, looked at Lu Peng and asked, "Dapeng, how are you and Sister Su Xiao?" ā€

Tang Dou had read this brochure countless times, and even now that he had such a copy in his bag, he was naturally not interested in studying this brochure again.

Hearing Tang Dou ask about this topic, Lu Peng couldn't help but have a happy smile on his face: "Boss, we are very good, we recently bought another house in this neighborhood." Su Xiao heard that you came over today, and she asked me to ask you when you would have time to go home for a meal. ā€

Su Xiao worked in Tang Dou's company for a while, and when this branch opened, Su Xiao finally resigned, but not because he was dissatisfied with his work.

Su Xiao is a very independent woman, she doesn't want to live under someone's wing, and Tang Dou also expressed her understanding for this.

Now Su Xiao has opened an antique theme restaurant by himself, and according to Lu Peng, it seems that business is not bad.

Tang Dou said with a smile: "I must have no time today, I asked Xu Lele to have dinner tonight, so let's go, I'm going to the auction tomorrow, if there is nothing to do tomorrow night, I'll go to your house, I haven't seen Niuniu for a long time, the little girl must have grown a lot taller, right?" ā€

This topic was light, and it also scratched Lu Peng's itch, and the two chatted with each other.

After chatting for a while, Tang Dou's phone rang, Tang Dou took it out and saw that it was Xu Lele calling, Tang Dou answered the phone with a slight smile: "Lele, it's me." ā€

As soon as the phone was connected, Xu Lele had already begun to ask the teacher: "Douzi, you can do it, you don't know how to call me when you get off the plane, don't you treat me as a friend?" ā€

Tang Dou smiled: "Lele, if you don't want to invite you for dinner, just say it." ā€

Xu Lele laughed: "Originally, I planned to abandon this meal, but now I can't say it if you say this, let's say, what do you want to eat at night, I'll book a table first." ā€

Tang Dou smiled: "Whatever, as long as you don't have to spend money on me." ā€

"Damn, I made a bad friend by mistake. Where are you, I'll pick you up. ā€

Tang Dou laughed happily: "Lele, I found that you are becoming more and more Chinese now, have you changed your mind?" ā€

"Less nonsense, give me an address."

Tang Dou smiled and said the address of the past and present, Xu Lele said wait, and hung up the phone with a snap. (To be continued.) )
