Chapter Ninety-Eight: Business [Third Update]
"Brother Feng, now there are fewer and fewer cultural people who play the four treasures of the study, our business is really not very good......
Xie Xuan is clever and has a lively brain, he has been in the antique street for more than three months, and he mingles with the people around him, but the longer he mixes in the antique street, the more Xie Xuan looks down on the current business.
It has been more than three months since the opening, that is, occasionally some retired old cadres come to buy some brushes and rice paper and other objects, and the biggest transaction since the opening is still an eight-year-old child who wants his son Jackie Chan's parents, and spent 600 yuan to buy a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
These things are originally very low profits, and they don't have business every day, so it's good to be able to open and do business in three or five days.
After three months, Xie Xuan settled the accounts, not to mention that he didn't earn a penny, and even with the rent, water and electricity, plus the management fees of labor and antique streets, they actually lost nearly 20,000 yuan.
This made Xie Xuan, who prides himself on having a talent for business, very unwilling, because he looks at those people who engage in crooked ways in other stores every day, and they can earn at least 10,000 yuan a month, and even more can earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a month.
Today, I brought my father to Qin Feng, Xie Xuan just wanted to put forward rectification suggestions and make a complete plan for the future development of "Wen Bao Zhai".
Of course, the little fat man who didn't graduate from junior high school couldn't think of these things, they were all taught to Xie Xuan by the old man around him.
After telling Qin Feng his thoughts, Xie Xuan spoke: "Brother Feng, although we still have some money, we can't sit back and eat empty, right?" In my opinion, if it goes on like this, "Wen Bao Zhai" must be closed......"
The first 250,000 yuan from the stone market, after deducting the expenses for buying and repairing the courtyard house and taking over the "Wen Bao Zhai", there are probably 50,000 or 60,000 left.
When Xie Xuan and Li Tianyuan left Jintian, Qin Feng asked them to take away 20,000 yuan, these two brothers are not people who can live, and they spent 20,000 yuan in half a year.
After Xie Xuan returned to Jintian, Qin Feng gave him the remaining more than 30,000 yuan, and almost spent another 20,000 yuan in the past few months. So Xie Xuan will start to get anxious.
"Qin Feng. Are you out of money? ”
If it weren't for hearing his son say, Xie Dazhi really didn't know that the antique shop was actually running like this, so he immediately said: "Why don't I take some money and put it in the store first, and you can use it for circulation?" ”
From the brink of bankruptcy to his resurrection, Xie Dazhi only took two years to develop a new real estate project, which brought him rich returns. Now there is absolutely no problem with taking out a 1.8 million one.
"Uncle Xie, there is no shortage of money for the time being, I have a way to ......" Qin Feng shook his head and rejected Xie Dazhi's kindness.
He "smoothed" two bundles of money from Yuan Bingqi's safe last year, hid them before returning to the pharmaceutical factory, and later retrieved them for inspection. There are 60,000 yuan, and Qin Feng doesn't have to worry about funds in a short time.
Qin Feng's slender and delicate fingers tapped on the back of the chair, raised his head and said, "Xuanzi, what do you think about this store?" ”
Qin Feng doesn't like to do everything himself, as the saying goes, "Give people fish, three meals are needed; Teach a man to fish for life". The reason why he let it go. just wants Xie Xuan and Li Tianyuan to mature.
And the kind of place in the antique street, dragons and snakes are mixed. Every day is a lot of deception, and I'm afraid that in addition to prison, it is the easiest place for people to grow.
Facts have also proved that Xie Xuan and Li Tianyuan are indeed much more mature than before.
Needless to say, Xie Xuan, Li Tianyuan actually learned to smile with others, and the biggest "business" of 600 yuan was made by him.
According to the words of the parent, if you don't study calligraphy well, you will stand at the counter and sell things like Li Tianyuan in the future, which made Li Tianyuan's face black at that time.
It's just that Li Tianyuan's heart is not dark enough, if he is replaced by Xie Xuan, at least he will sell him a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone worth more than two thousand, and now in addition to women's money, it is easy to earn children's money, what a rare opportunity.
"Brother Feng, I thought about it, let's sell jadeite!"
Hearing Qin Feng ask his own idea, the little fat man's eyes suddenly lit up, "I have investigated this street, there are many jade sellers, but there are really no jade sellers, with your craftsmanship, you will definitely be able to make it prosperous!" ”
After mixing in the antique street for so long, Xie Xuan also knows the value of jadeite, especially the kind of jadeite made by Qin Feng, the price is more expensive than gold, and it doesn't need much, as long as they can sell one piece a year, they can keep them food and clothing worry-free.
"By my craft?"
Qin Feng smiled bitterly when he heard this, lightly slapped Xie Xuan's head with his hand, and scolded with a smile: "If it is really a jade made by craftsmanship, you just wait to be smashed in the shop, that thing will fade after wearing it for a few months, and it will also cause harm to the body, this business is too immoral to do." ”
After the subtle transformation during the period of learning art with Zaiyu, Qin Feng is not very resistant to the abduction and deception of the pit, this is also a job, but he has his own bottom line as a man, that is, to seek wealth without killing people.
If the fake jadeite is done carefully, it can indeed ensure that it will not fade within two or three years, but the radioactive substances contained in it will cause great harm to the human body.
"Brother Feng, what can we do? We have no way to sell calligraphy and paintings, let alone anything else, who knows where those things come from? ”
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Xie Xuan suddenly made a bitter face, it stands to reason that the shop that runs the Four Treasures of the Scholar's Room is full of literati and scholars, and they are interested in calligraphy and painting, like Xinnan's grandfather, the store was full of celebrity calligraphy and paintings.
It's just that Xinnan's grandfather is a celebrity in the calligraphy world, and it is easy for him to ask for paintings or pay for celebrity calligraphy and paintings.
But Qin Feng's little boys are not famous and have no connections, not to mention those well-known calligraphers and painters, even students who have just graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts, I am afraid that they are not willing to put their works in their stores.
As for those bronze miscellaneous toys and other things, each store is very jealous of their own purchase channels, and no matter how Xie Xuan tries to talk, they refuse to say it, and they also break Xie Xuan's thoughts.
"Where did it come from?" Qin Feng glanced at Xie Xuan and said, "Xuanzi, do you want to sell that thing?" ”
"Of course, Brother Feng, you don't know, the fifth Ma Lao a few days ago is the guy with a pockmarked face. I don't know where to get a bronze candlestick. said it was from the Warring States, but that broken thing was sold for 80,000! ”
Xie Xuan showed an indignant expression on his face, and then said: "That thing is full of rust, not even a word, in my opinion, Ma Lao Wu will spend fifty yuan at most, but this shot is 80,000 yuan, and there is no counteroffer." ”
This kind of thing is not once or twice in the antique street. However, the things he does are different, and Xie Xuan can only watch others make a lot of money, and it is definitely fake to say that he is not angry.
Qin Feng shook his head and said, "It takes eyesight to go to the countryside to get things, don't think that the things in the countryside are real, you don't have any eyesight." There is a ...... that no amount of money is enough to lose"
In the 80s, going to the countryside to collect antiques was a shortcut to make a fortune, and people didn't care about these broken bowls and iron, and they were willing to sell any piece of money.
But in recent years, people have more spare money in their hands, and there are more people who play antiques, and the price of antiques is naturally rising. It's almost impossible.
And those old men and old ladies who used to sell things cheaply have suffered several losses. One by one, they have all learned shrewdly.
They don't know where to buy some high-quality antique fakes and hide them at home, and wait until the people who come to collect the antiques come. Pretending to reveal the object by chance, attracting people who want to go fishing, they are pulled into the water by the fish, and the fish is not eaten, and they are still fishy.
Over time, in addition to some retired people who have nothing to do and really like to collect, they will go to the countryside to pick up leaks, and the grandsons and old men and old ladies in the antique street have been fooled several times in a row, but no one wants to run to the countryside, so they simply sell fakes themselves.
Antique counterfeiting, which is already a well-known thing in the industry, the Qing Dynasty Kangxi, Yongzheng Qianlong three emperors are the ancestors of counterfeiting, they imitated many Song and Ming calligraphy and painting porcelain.
Of course, in modern times, those fakes of that time have also become extremely precious cultural relics and antiques, but those made in modern times do not have this kind of collection value.
Xie Xuan also wanted to do this, but he had no way, and the profiteers who usually drank and ate meat on the antique street and talked about everything became dumb when they mentioned it.
Hearing that Qin Feng vetoed all his suggestions, Xie Xuan said with some anger: "Brother Feng, this is not good, that is not good, we might as well close the store and save such a loss." ”
"Xuanzi, don't worry, I have to review the exam during this time, and when the college entrance examination is over, let's go out and do some work!"
Qin Feng laughed when he heard this, since he followed Zai Yu to learn art, he has never worried about money, either it was blown, or Qin Feng is now going to the train station to set up a stall, and he earns a thousand and eight hundred a day as if he was playing.
"What do you do? Or do you want to engage in jadeite? ”
Xie Xuan's eyes lit up, that time Qin Feng's empty gloves and white wolf felt too deeply for him, hundreds of whole broken stones, and in a blink of an eye, he actually earned more than 200,000 yuan.
Qin Feng thought for a moment and said: "The situation in Myanmar has been unstable in recent years, and the price of jadeite has risen very much, you can consider doing that in the future, but if you want to do it, you can do it formally, and you can't smash the signboard." ”
Hearing Qin Feng's words, Xie Dazhi interjected: "Qin Feng, the cost of doing jadeite business is not small, just buy some goods and then press some inventory, that is tens of millions, you don't have so much capital now......"
Not only the stone market, in recent years, high-end jadeite is very marketable in major cities in China, especially those who are the first to get rich, who are embarrassed to go out to see people if they don't wear a cat's eye size jade ring on their fingers.
Xie Dazhi looked at Qin Feng and said, "If you really seem to be doing this, why don't you ...... I'll give this money, which can be regarded as a share for Xie Xuan, Qin Feng, what do you think? ”
Although Xie Dazhi admires Qin Feng, if it was before today, he would never open his mouth to make an investment of 10 million yuan, which is not in line with Xie Dazhi's cautious temperament.
But after seeing the intimate relationship between Qin Feng and Director Hu, let alone 10 million, it is to ask him Xie to take out all his current net worth, Xie Dazhi is not stunned, in the realm of Jintian, there is the great god Hu Baoguo behind him, and it is difficult for Qin Feng to lose money even if he wants to.
"It's still not necessary, Uncle Xie, when we have our own capital, let's consider doing jadeite business."
Qin Feng shook his head, once again rejected Xie Dazhi's kindness, and smiled at Xie Xuan: "Xuanzi, you said that we can spend the money we earn ourselves, so that we can have a sense of accomplishment, right?" ”
"Yes, Brother Feng, what kind of ability is it to spend Lao Tzu's money?"
Xie Xuan straightened his chest, looked at his father and said, "Dad, just look at it, my son and I will be richer than you in the future......"
"Damn, you kid used to spend Lao Tzu's money, and you spent less?" Seeing his son's appearance, Xie Dazhi was angry and funny, but he was also relieved to see that his son was ambitious.
"Brother Feng, the jade business can't be done now, what should we do?"
Xie Xuan, who had just finished charging as a hero, turned his face and became a bear again, and now he keeps the family accounts, if he doesn't make money and doesn't want his father to help, he will soon be alive with the northwest wind.
"Don't worry, didn't I say, we'll make money after taking the college entrance examination."
Qin Feng glanced at Xie Dazhi, but he still didn't say the way to make money, not that he didn't want to say it, but he couldn't say it.
Qin Feng's so-called way to make money is actually to make a cameo appearance in the "inverted bucket" of the Five Elements and Three Elements, that is, to rob the tomb, since there is no channel to buy fakes, it is really good to simply sell them.
Qin Feng and Master Zaiyu have the same point of view, that is, the world's property is owned by the people of the world, why should those princes sell all the good things in the tomb to be buried? These condensations were the treasures of the essence of the craftsmen at that time, and they should be made public to the world.
After the news of Sun Dianying's theft of Tanglin came out, the widows and children of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were like mourners, and they all spoke out to accuse Sun Dianying of his behavior.
After hearing the news, Zai Yu was silent for a long time, and then spit out two words: "You deserve it!" ”
The so-called master must have his apprentice, Zai Yu doesn't care about the theft of the ancestral mausoleum, Qin Feng is even more inappropriate, there is a shortage of objects in the antique shop at the moment, and it doesn't hurt to make a cameo appearance to "move the mountain and turn the bucket".
The reason why the academic community now hates tomb robbing is that those people are doing it for their own selfish desires, and second, because their lives are too trendy, and they often steal out ten things, and dozens of them are destroyed alone, and the damage rate is too high.
Of course, Qin Feng's idea naturally can't be told to Xie Dazhi, otherwise, even if Xie Dazhi appreciates Qin Feng again, after learning that he is going to take his son to pick up people's ancestral graves, I'm afraid he will carry a kitchen knife and work hard with Qin Feng, right?
