After a good night's sleep, Fang Ming woke up to find that it was close to noon.

Washing his face and refreshing his teeth, Fang Ming went down the stairs to the first floor, and found that Zhou Yafang and Jiang Wen were busy working, Zhou Yafang was carefully appraising an antique, as for Jiang Wen, she had just made a business and sold an antique, and was returning after sending the guests out.

Seeing Fang Ming coming down, Jiang Wen shouted: "Brother Fang Ming, you are only up now, it is almost twelve o'clock now, and the sun has already reached the buttocks." ”

"Hey, I'm not the last one."

Fang Ming looked around and found that Zhao Zhuzi was still there, thinking that he should still be asleep, "Besides, I just came back from outside, and I slept late last night, so this is relatively normal." ”

Jiang Wen flattened her mouth and said, "Okay, anyway, you have an excuse." ”

Fang Ming laughed and said, "Wenwen, how is the business in the store recently?" ”

I just came back yesterday, and I didn't have time to ask about the situation in the store before I appraised the scroll of Tang Bohu that Zheng Bai brought.

"Not bad."

Jiang Wen has been in the store all this time, so she has a good understanding of the situation.

"Although we are selling fewer antiques now, we are making more money."

Fang Ming nodded lightly, when he left Ningdong City before, he and Zhou Ya \ Yi \ Ben \ Read \ Novel xstxt Fang set a rule, that is, Gu Xuan Zhai's future business direction is high-end antiques. In this way, the number of antiques sold will definitely decrease, after all, high-end antiques are not something that ordinary people can afford or are willing to buy. However, its benefits are easy to see, that is, the profits are relatively high.

Of course, this method is not something that ordinary antique shops can do, the most important point is that the antique store must have a considerable reputation, antique collectors, enthusiasts or rich people are in the eyes of authoritative figures, so that they will be willing to spend a lot of money to buy antiques in the store.

Gu Xuanzhai did not have such a status before, so it was impossible to operate in such a way, but as Fang Ming's fame grew, especially after he was in the limelight in the treasure appreciation conference, Gu Xuanzhai already had a certain reputation in Ningdong City and even in the antique collection industry in the country, and his authoritative position had been erected, so he could take such a high-end way.

"Hah! Good! We are opening stores to do business, so naturally the more we earn, the better! ”

Fang Minggao

laughed happily, although money is not much of a problem for me now, and it is no longer the main goal to pursue, but who doesn't love things like money? Who is too much? So when I heard Jiang Wen say that she is earning more now, she is naturally even happier.

"It's a pity that we have too few antiques in our store now, and our business is a little too good. Brother Fang Ming, now others think that our Gu Xuan Zhai shop, many rich people have come here, these people have said, don't be afraid to spend money, but it must be real antiques, many times our antiques are not counteroffered, and we let them take it after we make a price. ”

Fang Ming nodded, in fact, this is also the most important mentality of rich people when buying antiques. Actually, it's not surprising at all. You must know that to a certain extent, people's psychology is like this, and the most fearful thing about buying things is not spending money, but whether the money is worth it. People who can spend a million or millions to buy an antique, they don't care about a little more or a little less money, they pay more attention to whether the antique they buy is real or not.

There are two reasons for this, one is, of course, the antique thing, which is generally used for collection, in addition to doing business, it is basically put in your own hands to play, and it is normal to not shoot for a few years or not for more than ten years, or even for a lifetime. In such a long period of time, antiques will continue to appreciate, so as long as you buy the real thing, even if it is a little more expensive when you buy it, you will definitely lose money in the end as time passes.

Second, many people spend money to buy antiques, but they are not antique lovers or collectors, they just buy them and give them away. Imagine being willing to spend such a large sum of money to buy an antique as a gift, which is naturally for important people, so that if you buy a fake one, you will lose face and lose face, imagine who would want to see such a thing happen?

Therefore, the most important thing is to buy the real thing.

Hearing Fang Ming and Jiang Wen talking, Zhou Yafang also came over and said with a smile: "Yes, that's true, the biggest problem in our store now is that there are too few antiques, and there is even a feeling that the supply exceeds demand." ”

Fang Ming sighed softly, he naturally knew this, but knowing was knowing, and now he really had no way to solve it. Originally, I hoped that I could buy some back when I went out this time, but the final result was that the piece of Hetian jade was not bad, but after all, there was only one piece, which was really not helpful for running a store, after all, such Hetian jade was unlikely to be sold.

Scratching his hair, Fang Ming said, "This is a problem, it seems that I have to go to some auctions next to see if it is."

There are good things to buy. ”

Fang Ming was originally just talking, but after finishing speaking, he found that this might be a good idea. Although it is said that the things at the auction will be more expensive, they are not without merit.

First, there are a large number of antiques concentrated there, so you don't have to look for them everywhere, which can save time, so even if the price is a little more expensive, but because the antiques are constantly appreciating, after buying them and putting them in the store, and then selling them after a year and a half or a few years, then they will definitely be able to sell at a good price. Second, although the antiques in the auction are all appraised by experts before the auction, no matter what kind of experts they are, there is a possibility that they will be distracted, so it is possible to pick up the omissions at the auction.

"Hahaha! I think it's a good idea, but it's a bit too hard to always think about going out and picking up leaks. ”

Fang Ming laughed.

Zhou Yafang quickly understood Fang Ming's thoughts, and after thinking for a while, she also nodded, and said, "Yes, this is indeed a good way, otherwise we will have nothing to sell in this store." ”

"Moreover, there was an auction in Ningdong City recently, and the time is only three days away, why don't we try our luck?"

"Huh? We also have an auction in Ningdong City? ”

Fang Ming was a little surprised, he didn't seem to have heard of an auction in Ningdong City before.

"Well, yes. It didn't seem to be there before, and even if there were, it wasn't formal, but this time, maybe because of the success and influence of our treasure appreciation conference, there was such an auction conference. ”

Zhou Yafang has been in Ningdong City for a long time, and since Fang Ming went out again some time ago, she knows more about these situations than Fang Ming, and as soon as the news of the auction came out, she naturally went to inquire immediately.

Rubbing his hands, Fang Ming laughed and said, "Ha! It seems that someone really sent a pillow as soon as I dozed off, yes, since that's the case, let's try our luck. ”

"Good. Well, we'll take a look at it later. In the evening, I asked Zheng Bai and Sikong Zhe to have dinner together. It's been a while since we've seen each other. ”

Thinking of what Zheng Bai said when he left last night that he was going to get together today, Fang Ming nodded, Sikong Zhe and the others were all his seniors and good friends, and when he came back after going out for such a long time, he naturally wanted to meet and chat with them. As for the fact that today was planned to find a master to choose a day to open, then I would go another day.

"We're going to that auction? That's great! ”

Jiang Wen exclaimed happily, "There are a lot of jade and porcelain in this auction, it would be great if I could win some of them." ”

Fang Ming was surprised when he heard this, and said, "Huh? Wenwen, you've been there, there's something good? ”

Jiang Wen's face turned red when she heard this, shook her head, and said, "No." ”

"No, how do you think there's a good thing there?"

Fang Ming was even more strange.

"Hey, I read it on the Internet, and some of the photos they posted look pretty good, so ......"

Fang Ming understood now, and said with a smile on his face: "The current shooting methods are so clever, even a piece of shit can be photographed as a flower, so ah, looking at the picture is not accurate, we have to go to the scene to take a look." ”

"yes, I know that!"

Jiang Wen stuck out her tongue and said, "I've put in a lot of effort during this time, I must pick up a leak at this auction for you to see." ”

Fang Ming and Zhou Yafang glanced at each other, and a smile appeared on their faces.

Thumbs up, Fang Ming said, "Okay! Be ambitious! ”

The people who organize the auction are not philanthropists, their purpose is to make as much money as possible, and in order to ensure this, they will go through an extremely strict appraisal of the antique they auction, and it is definitely not an easy thing to pick up a leak from their hands!

Therefore, Jiang Wen's sentence is quite ambitious.

"Wenwen has worked very hard during this time, and there are a lot of antiques in the store for her to get her hands on, so she has made rapid progress, and if she is a little more lucky this time, maybe it is possible."

Zhou Yafang didn't underestimate Jiang Wen, when Fang Ming brought Jiang Wen before, he just hoped that there would be one more person in the store who could rest assured, but as time passed, she found that Zhou Yafang had a good talent in the appraisal of antiques, and in time, she might really be able to become a master in appraisal.

"Good! We'll go check it out after eating something for a while.

Going to the auction to pick up the leaks was simply seeking the skin of the tiger, but Fang Ming was full of confidence!
