Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Chance Encounter
However, the matter of learning to drive is not in a hurry, you can take your time, the most important thing in front of you now is to expand the operation, and the expansion of the operation should also be divided into two sides at the same time, one is to recruit people, and the other is to start the collection business.
In the past, Niu Xiangdong operated ordinary pawns, and the vast majority of pawned items have nothing to do with the collection of antiques, that is, most of the electronic and electrical products, although this kind of business is enough to ensure the profits of the store, but it is not enough to eat and starve, and cannot make a lot of money.
In Tongcheng, there are many pawn shops like Niu Xiangdong, and many of them are operated together with small finance, the so-called "small finance" is underground finance, which is a small loan finance company to put it mildly, and it is "usury" to say that it is ugly, Zhou Tianqi's pawn shop is basically based on electronic item pawns, and there are few antique jades, after all, he has no technology and does not dare to get involved.
Niu Xiangdong's business is better than Zhou Tianqi's, Zhou Tianqi's annual profit income is about more than 200,000, while Niu Xiangdong has 780,000 yuan.
This is obvious, doing ordinary pawns makes a small amount of money, and although the collection business is far less "lively" than ordinary pawns, there may only be three or two single businesses a month, but a casual single business may be worth the profits of ordinary pawn business for a few months or half a year, and sometimes with good luck, the profits of a single business are even millions, such as the last time he gambled on stones, he almost didn't spend any money, but the profit he made was "10 million"!
This kind of profitable business, making one order is enough to eat for a lifetime!
It is precisely because of his confidence in his own ability that Xu Dong is not worried about the lack of business in the store.
There are several ways to recruit, one is to publish in the newspaper, the other is to TV, and the third is to post a recruitment advertisement at the door.
However, Xu Dong didn't bother to publish newspapers and TV commercials, so he wrote a recruitment advertisement with a thick oil pen and posted it on the wall outside the store, and then posted a recruitment post on the Internet in the post bar.
The recruitment post stated that Niu Ge Pawnshop was interested in recruiting two people, a financial officer and an apprentice with an interest in collecting antiques.
Originally, if you normally receive it, you still have to have a "palm eye master", after all, Xu Dong himself is still very lacking in "professional" things, and it can only be said that he has the ability to see the treasure to ensure that he will not be fooled and suffer, and he is sure to make money, but in terms of professional identification and identification, he is far behind, so it is still necessary to ask a professional appraisal master.
But it doesn't make sense to ask such people to advertise from the post bar, so Xu Dong didn't write this content.
After the job advertisement was ready, I ordered a rather rich breakfast to eat, and almost every day the restaurant would send business cards, so much so that I could order a meal from a different store every day.
After the advertisement was posted, four people came to inquire in the morning, and the people who came in to ask saw that Xu Dong was too young and could "call the shots", but they didn't believe it, and the store looked too "deserted", and the store with bad business also had to consider the stability of the income, don't do it and go bankrupt, so after talking, I didn't take it very seriously, and left the contact number and left.
Xu Dong was naturally not in a hurry, and went to look at the computer after making a cup of tea.
As soon as I opened the post bar, I saw that there were more than a dozen messages.
More than a dozen pieces of information are basically asking about the conditions and wages of recruitment, in fact, Xu Dong has explained in the recruitment information that financial personnel are between 22 and 40 years old, financial majors are preferred, and the monthly salary is between 3,000 and 5,000, and there is a corresponding salary increase mechanism.
Xu Dong looked at the information, most of them were asking what to do and how much money he could get in a month, and he didn't explain these, and answered the same reply one by one: "If you are interested in inviting you to the store for an interview, such as preferential employment treatment"!
It seems that recruiting people from the post bar is not very reliable.
At noon, a young man of twenty-three or fourteen years of age came to his door, dressed in bright clothes, with oily hair and flour, and looked like a rich man.
But in fact, no, this person is here to "be" a mobile phone, when it is an Apple 6, it has only been more than a month since I bought it, 64G memory, the original price cost 7,000 yuan, there is **, but Xu Dong can see that from this person's dodging eyes and answers, he can guess that this person bought a mobile phone originally with installment payment, and he only used it as a mobile phone for a month, obviously he was nervous at hand, and he had no money to eat and drink!
This kind of lazy thug is the kind of person who "talks" face, doesn't care about tomorrow today, and gets by.
Xu Dong checked his mobile phone, and then groaned: "This mobile phone...... How are you going to be? If you want to renew, the maximum is 3,000, the term is three months, the handling fee and interest are calculated at 30%, and the handling fee and interest for three months are a total of 900, that is to say, when the three months expire, you can redeem it for 3,009, and if it is a death that is not redeemed, you can give up to 3,005! β
The man pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Of course I am dead, what redemption should I redeem when I do, but ...... But it can't be a little higher? I'm a ninety-percent new machine......"
Xu Dong shook his head with a smile and said: "This is basically the limit of the rules, I can be sure that I am giving the highest price in my peers, or you can go to other stores to take a look first!" β
"Forget it, three thousand five is three thousand five, it's done!" As soon as he heard Xu Dong's words that he was not in a hurry, the man quickly nodded and agreed, obviously he had probably asked in other stores, it must not be as high as the price given by his store, otherwise he would not agree immediately.
Xu Dong didn't hesitate, immediately opened a receipt, put away his mobile phone and **, and counted three thousand five dollars in cash to the man, and the business was completed.
The young man took the money and hurried away, looking at the way he was either going to eat and drink or to gamble, such a person is drunk today and drunk tomorrow, whether he lives or dies tomorrow!
As soon as the young man left, Xu Dong put the mobile phone into the glass cabinet again, and marked on the description list: "iphone6, second-hand phone, ninety percent new, 64G memory, 4800 yuan."
The profit of this business is 1,300 yuan, Xu Dong is not worried about the sales of this mobile phone, according to the profit margin, 3,500 yuan gets a profit of 1,300 yuan, and this profit margin can naturally be regarded as a "windfall profit".
It's just that for this kind of person, it's not a lack of it, there is no doubt that this person doesn't care about credit at all, whether it's an installment made by a bank or a small finance, it's not easy to recover this debt.
After noon, there were five or six people, all of whom came to apply, two of them were applying for finance, and three were applying for apprenticeships, but Xu Dong was not satisfied after the interview, and left after leaving the contact number to deal with a few words and "please" away.
What Xu Dong didn't expect was that not long after these people left, two girls came to visit the store, and they actually took a fancy to the Apple mobile phone they had just received, and bought it for 4,000 without saying a word.
Xu Dong thought that they were also here to apply, but the two girls didn't mention that at all, and one of them smiled and left: "Boss, this is my mobile phone number, if there is another mobile phone like this, you can call me, I want it!" β
Xu Dong smiled and agreed: "No problem, as long as someone is me, I will call you to inform!" β
The two girls left with a smile on their faces, Xu Dong thought to himself that this money was really fast, no wonder many pawnshops survived without difficulty, like Niu Xiangdong, although he did not have any identification technology and did not dare to involve collectible items, but he lived a relatively nourishing life with these pawn businesses.
The figure at the door flickered, and someone came in again, Xu Dong looked down at the computer, and didn't pay much attention.
The person who came in took a look, and then asked, "Hello, are you looking for financial personnel here?" β
Xu Dong raised his head and replied, "Yes, you are here to apply...... Hey, yes...... It's you? β
"Yes...... The clouds are light and the wind is light? β
In an instant, the person who came and Xu Dong looked at each other, and both of them were stunned!
The person who came to apply for the job was actually the "Little Sister of Tongcheng" Sang Qiuxia!
And when Sang Qiuxia suddenly recognized that this person was actually the benefactor who paid 500,000 yuan for her in the hospital, and it was very likely that it was the "light cloud" that she had talked about on the Internet, she couldn't help but be stunned!
I really didn't expect it!
Sang Qiuxia actually saw Xu Dong's recruitment post in the post bar, but Xu Dong only explained the recruitment conditions, salary and contact address and phone number, and did not disclose the slightest bit of his private information, so Sang Qiuxia didn't expect that the person recruited was her "benefactor"!
Although Xu Dong talked to Sang Qiuxia with the Q number of "Yun Dan Feng Qing", the screen name of Xu Dong's message in the post bar was not "Yun Dan Feng Qing", so Sang Qiuxia never thought or expected that the person who posted it was her benefactor.
After being stunned for a while, Sang Qiuxia immediately came to her senses, and looked at the store up and down with some "excitement", and then stared at Xu Dong happily and said, "You...... You can't run away now, can you? β
Xu Dong smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "Why should I run?" I'm not wanted! β
Sang Qiuxia suddenly saw the "benefactor" she was trying to find, and she was indeed carried away by "joy", these two days were hard thinking, posting, and entrusting people, no matter which method was used, giving her 500,000 benefactors was like "sinking into the sea" without any news, which made her feel that it was even more difficult to find her benefactor!
But she never expected that the owner of the recruitment shop pΓΉ she saw in the post bar was actually the "benefactor" she had been looking for so hard!
It is really intentional to insert willows and willows, but unintentionally inserted willows and willows have become shade!
The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was in the dim light!
There were a lot of words in her heart, why did she disappear after helping her with a huge sum of 500,000 yuan, whether it was a true and kind person or someone else's intentions, these were all problems that she couldn't even sleep, but after suddenly seeing him without the slightest preparation, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar face that always appeared in her dreams, she couldn't say a word!
