Asakusa antique market in Tokyo, an island country

"Ye Sang, listen to your words, it is better to read for ten years, I didn't expect Ye Sang to be young, and his ancient ceramics attainments are so profound, I think Your Excellency is a person who is born to do antique business, I don't know if you are interested in coming to "Inoyashiki" as a manager? The monthly salary is 300,000, and you will be given a 10% sales commission as a bonus! ”

The kimono boss Inoue babbled and pulled Jiang Yelin's sleeve, why didn't he let him and Bai Suzhen go, first said that he was going to collect the stall and invite the two of them to the store to drink tea, and then simply shook an olive branch and wanted to hire Jiang Yelin to be his antique store manager.

Inoue's interest in antique porcelain when he was young was actually average, just because of such an antique shop handed down by the family, as a family inheritance, Inoue's other siblings divided the company and real estate, leaving a half-dead antique shop no one wanted, as the youngest son, Inoue had to inherit his father's business reluctantly, gave up his dream of becoming an architect in college, and bent over to work as an antique shop owner for 20 years.

The antique industry is very deep, and the straw can be sold as gold bars, and the straw can be collected as gold bars when you look away, and the antique store "Inoya no Yashiki" is usually taken care of by the Inoue couple plus three clerks, and there has been a lack of a powerful shopkeeper.

The younger generation of the island country, not much interest in antique porcelain and other cultural inheritance, Inoue's pair of children after graduating from college are unwilling to inherit their father's business, the son went to the bank, the daughter entered the accounting firm, these years Inoue has been trying to hire a capable shopkeeper.

Today, I coincidentally bumped into Jiang Yelin and Bai Suzhen, although the oily and powdery dandy-like Canadian Chinese in front of me looked a little out of tune, but when it came to antiques and Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain, in Inoue's view, at least it was the knowledge of ancient ceramics masters, so he had the heart of loving talents, and regardless of his net worth, he actually wanted to hire such a shopkeeper with a monthly salary of 300,000 yuan!

"Hey, boss, we haven't done a lot of business yet, you don't really plan to go to Boss Inoue's shop to have an antique store manager's addiction, right?"

Bai Suzhen is a little anxious, although he is a master of solving cases in the Criminal Investigation Bureau, but in the antique industry, the beautiful police inspector is really not too familiar, is this little devil boss lacking heart, people helped him sell a fake at a good price, this goods directly want to leave people behind? !

This Nima is teaching people to fish, why don't you teach people to fish? I knew I wouldn't help him! Let him smash the fake Longqing blue and white on the surface of his feet and tear it down.

"Boss Inoue, I see your temper and character, it is indeed not suitable for the antique shop shopkeeper, you must know that the antique industry, when it comes to buying and selling, it has always been a willingness to fight and a willingness to suffer, and you are too sincere to do antique business......

I'll teach you a way, label and sell things in the future, you simply don't mark what age kiln mouth, such as these blue and white porcelain, you mark blue and white porcelain, and let the buyer see it for himself! ”

Jiang Yelin did not say that he agreed or did not agree to do what Inoya Shiki's treasurer, but pointed out the blue and white porcelain still on the stall to give the boss Inoue another lesson, fortunately, Inoue learned a lot of Chinese when he was in college, and he didn't fall too far in twenty years, and he didn't even understand the meaning without Bai Suzhen translating it.

"Sodisney, Soga Soga, Yesan, what you said is not a good idea, but many of the antique shops are not professional collectors, and some are just wealthy tourists, if they buy fakes at a high price, won't it have a bad impact on the reputation of the store afterwards?"

Not to mention that Inoue is not a qualified antique dealer, there is too much leisure for buyers, and too little planning for himself, Bai Suzhen here is also a little unable to look down, and the interface is down.

"Boss Inoue, you open an antique store, not a stationery store and a handicraft store, antiques are cultural inheritance and heartbeat, otherwise how can there be so many buyers, collectors who are desperate to pay tuition fees and pick up big leaks?

When you buy an antique store, you have to take care of yourself, and when you sell antiques, you really feel that you don't know the bottom of your heart, you have to hide it! It's better not to say it than to say it! A qiē buyer to see for himself! ”

Hearing this, Inoue's face turned red, rubbing his hands and looking embarrassed, it seems that Jiang Yelin and Bai Suzhen, the two men and women, teach themselves a method that is a little out of the table, and then it should be too early to become a businessman, no treachery, no profit, this seems to be a bit different from Inoue's family motto, and the kimono boss doesn't know whether to agree or deny it for a while.

"That...... It seems that I am indeed not a qualified antique dealer, Ye Sang, if you can come to the small shop as a shopkeeper, I am willing to pay a monthly salary of 400,000 plus a 15% year-end sales commission! Please say yes! Inoue didn't know which tendon was twitching, so he leaned over and bowed to pull Jiang Yelin into the gang.

The monthly salary of 400,000 yen is considered a high salary for the white-collar class in the island country, Matsushima is the head of the financial department of the Bank of Mitsubishi, and the total income for a year is about 3.5 million yen, which is October 92, and the average monthly exchange rate of the yen against the US dollar is almost at a high level of 123:1, in other words, the Japanese yen has strong purchasing power and is very valuable at this time!

"Inoue-kun, the porcelain on these stalls today is roughly estimated, what is the cost price, and how much price do you think is acceptable to sell?" Jiang Yelin put his eyes back on Inoue's stall, and could see that there were more than 20 pieces of blue and white porcelain that were exquisite, and it was estimated that Inoue had selected the best products from the store.

"Soga...... This, this, I'll do the math...... "Inoue has been the shopkeeper of the antique shop for 20 years, and the accounts are still clear, as Jiang Yelin expected, the porcelain he brought out of the stall today almost thought that he was a good thing that could be sold, and at this time, the antique shop girl who followed the stall in the two stores was already stunned on the side, and she didn't know what to help.

"Hey, why is one item missing, one, two, three, four, five, Keiko! Keiko! Didn't you bring out 25 pieces of porcelain, why are there only 24 pieces here, and there is one more?! Inoue's forehead was covered with sweat, and he turned around and shouted at his cute girl clerk.

"What, boss, wasn't that foreigner who spent 1 million yen to buy a piece of Longqing blue and white porcelain just now......" Keiko reminded cautiously.

"Ah, yes, that's right, why didn't you say it earlier, look at the sweat of the boss, let Ye Sang and Assistant Bai laugh, this time the market stalls, our store has prepared a total of 25 pieces of fine Ming blue and white porcelain, almost all the valuable treasures collected in the past few months...... The cost price, the cost price, is about 3,500,000 yen if you don't count taxes and fees......"

Inoue is also honest with each other, and he still has the idea of pulling Jiang Yelin in to hire him as the shopkeeper of the antique store, so he doesn't dare to hide anything, you must know that in the antique industry, the acquisition cost has always been a secret that is not spread to the public, and the meat rots in the pot when you buy a loss, and the two girls Keiko and Qinzi may not know the original purchase price of each item.

"So remove the imitation Longqing blue and white porcelain plate that was purchased for 500,000 yuan and sold for 1 million yuan just now, and there are 24 pieces of blue and white porcelain here, and the cost is 3 million yen? I just took a look, it's really all blue and white porcelain from the Ming and Qing dynasties, this, if it's packed together, how much price is the boss Inoue willing to sell? ”

Jiang Yelin turned around in front of the stall with his hands behind his back, and asked with a smile Inoue, who was still holding a calculator in his hand, Bai Suzhen on the side was in a hurry, coughed, pulled Jiang Yelin aside, and said in a low voice,

"Boss, you're crazy, that Inoue said that it's crazy enough to hire you as the shopkeeper, what's the matter, you still plan to help someone buy all these 24 things in his stall?! We didn't have that much money with us! ”

Bai Suzhen's last sentence is inaudible, otherwise the light and flower whistle she wears will let people know that it is a hollow radish with all her mouth, and the second generation of the Maple Leaf Country returnee will not be very real.

"Don't worry, boss, I have a ...... in my heart" Jiang Yelin waved his hand, smiled and comforted his assistant inspector, and turned to Inoue,

"I don't know much about the antique market in Tokyo, your porcelain, the quality is good, but to say that there is really no eye-catching, except for the one that asked people to buy it for 1 million, if you don't look at the style, I really think it's good, 3 million cost, I pay 4 million yen do you sell it?"

Jiang Yelin left a gross profit of 1 million to the other party, plus the Longqing blue and white that he sold before, this is only half a day's work, Inoue made 1.5 million yen from these 25 pieces of porcelain, and the gross profit is more than 40%, which is a pretty good result, after all, 24 pieces are sold one by one, I don't know when they will all be sold, maybe some can be sold at a high price of more than 1 time, some can only return to their roots, and some may sell at a loss.

"Huh? Ye Sang, how can this make you break the bank, if you like that piece, I will sell it to you at the cost price, you can't afford to buy all 24 pieces at once, blue and white porcelain, the age of the ware is different, don't you suffer a loss by buying it like this......"

Inoue was really surprised, and said politely, Jiang Yelin just now on the fake Longqing blue and white jade rabbit moon plate, for Inoue to recover 500,000 yen of loss plus an extra 500,000 yen of profit, these 24 pieces of blue and white porcelain, even if you don't earn a penny, 2 million will be transferred to Jiang Yelin at a discount, which is not an excessive request.

With this maple leaf nationality, the eye for appreciating blue and white porcelain is good, but this lavish style of spending money is a bit unpredictable, not so expensive, right? Knowing the cost of 3 million, he is willing to offer 4 million to take it, isn't this a fortune boy? !

"Don't suffer a loss, what I fancy is not a matter of how much money there is, how about the transaction of 4 million yen? I'm sincerely asking for something from you! Jiang Yelin was very patient, and Bai Suzhen on the side had already turned his head angrily and ignored him.

"3,600,000 yen, please agree to my request no matter what!" Inoue is not good either, and he is only willing to ask for 20% of the gross profit!

"Good! That's 3.6 million yen, Susu gets the money! "Jiang Yelin and Inoue shook hands, this is considered a deal! The two female clerks in the back watched this scene, and their eyes were full of little stars!
