Chapter 239: The Storefront (I)

"Brother Feng, don't say it, the boss did things very reliably that week?" Xie Xuan drove the broken van and pulled Qin Feng towards Panjiayuan with an excited face.

Unlike Li Tianyuan, who likes to dance with knives and guns, Xie Xuan's favorite is the business field of deception, and whenever he sells a fake goods by cheating, the little fat man always has a very special sense of satisfaction in his heart.

"Xuanzi, can he not be in a hurry? If we were going to take over the Four Treasures Shop of the Family Study, he wouldn't even cry......"

Qin Feng laughed when he heard this, when he left from Panjiayuan, he intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the name of his shop in Jintian Antique Street, I believe that Boss Zhou must have inquired clearly.

As the saying goes, peers are enemies, if Pan Jiayuan has one more shop that operates the four treasures of the study, then he will have more competition, especially Qin Feng's identity as a disciple of Qi Gong, which makes Boss Zhou even more jealous.

Therefore, after Qin Feng promised not to operate the business of the four treasures of the study, Boss Zhou drove up his horsepower and used all kinds of relationships, and it only took more than a day to find a new store for Qin Feng.

It's still a weekend stall today, but Qin Feng came a little late, and there are a lot fewer people in Panjiayuan, most of them are old players, looking for fun in various stalls.

Antiques are not just about picking up leaks, it is also a refreshing thing to be able to meet your favorite collections when you are shopping for a stall, and many retired elderly people are happy to do so.

"Xuanzi, taking advantage of the fact that the antique craze has just started, we can still occupy a place, otherwise in a few years, the investment of 100,000 yuan will not even be able to fight here......"

Looking at the crowd that had not yet dispersed, Qin Feng sighed with some emotion, as the saying goes, gold in troubled times and antiques in prosperous times. If Master Zaiyu could live in this era, he would surely become an admirable collector.

"Brother Feng, I'm almost ready for that batch of jade according to the method you taught, can I release a few pieces when the time comes?" After hearing Qin Feng's words, Xie Xuan's eyes were also full of longing.

Of course, this kid thinks more about how to get money from other people's wallets. Becoming his own, that's the joy of Xie Xuan's business.

"Well, take out a few pieces and fight for fame first." Qin Feng thought for a while, nodded and said, "But be careful, don't be tricked, just say that you received it from the countryside......"

When a new store opens, there is always something to attract the attention of others, and there is no treasure of the town store. Those veteran players won't come to the door at all.

Moreover, Qin Feng taught Xie Xuan a martial arts technique, and after a few months of hard work, he had already produced seven or eight pieces of ancient jade, whether it was Qin color or pulp, it was not much different from the heirloom ancient jade.

"Oops, Boss Qin has arrived, please, please ...... inside"

As soon as I walked into Boss Zhou's shop. Boss Zhou, who originally wore small glasses and sat behind the counter, was a bit like an ancient shopkeeper. immediately greeted him and said with a smile: "Boss Qin, you are really busy, I have been waiting for you for an afternoon." ”

Qin Feng arched his hand to Boss Zhou and said with a smile: "Boss Zhou, I'm ashamed." It's just too much, sorry, sorry! ”

From yesterday afternoon to now, Qin Feng didn't seem to have to be idle for a while, and first punished Yu Honghu and others. In the evening, an all-martial arts was staged, subduing He Jinlong and Miao Liuzhi in the Kanto region, and the process was ups and downs.

Early this morning, he discussed with Li Ran for a morning, and in the afternoon, he fought with Meng Lin for a battle of wits and courage, and it was indeed Qin Feng, who was busy.

If it weren't for Boss Zhou's constant saying on the phone that the house was in short supply, it is estimated that Qin Feng would have wanted to push it until Ming'er came again, and sometimes he couldn't be too eager to talk about business, otherwise he would stretch his neck and give someone a knife.

"Boss Zhou, forget about this tea, let's talk about business."

After sitting down in the inner room, Qin Feng didn't have too much politeness, and asked straight to the point: "Boss Zhou, I don't know what the situation of the store you are talking about?" ”

"Brother Qin, you are really lucky, you just thought about coming to Panjiayuan to open a store, and someone will move your position for you."

Boss Zhou pointed out with a smile and said, "There is a shop opposite me, which deals in jade antiques, with a total of two floors, and a small courtyard at the back......"

Speaking of this, Boss Zhou gave a thumbs up and said: "The entire store adds up to more than 200 square meters, whether it is area or location, it can be regarded as the king of shops in Panjiayuan." ”

"Old Zhou, I don't know how much the rent is?"

After hearing Boss Zhou's words, Xie Xuan's little eyes suddenly lit up, Boss Zhou's shop is in the center of Panjiayuan, and the jade shop is on the opposite side, this location is first-class.

However, this area is also beyond the budget of Qin Feng and others, they originally thought that leasing a store of thirty or forty square meters would be about the same, and the area of more than 200 square meters can certainly expand the operation, but the initial investment is to add a budget.

"The rent is at market rate and the location is excellent......"

Boss Zhou glanced at Qin Feng, and then said: "The rent of one square meter is eighty-five yuan, the rent of 200 square meters in one month is 17,000 yuan, and if the water and electricity bills are all included, it is 18,000 yuan, and the yard is given away for nothing, but there is one thing, that is, you must pay the rent for three years first......

18,000 a month, the rent of a year is more than 200,000, which is second to none in today's Panjiayuan, and perhaps only a time-honored brand like "Rong Bao Zhai" can afford such a faΓ§ade.

Like Boss Zhou's shop, although there is an inner room, it is just separated by a wooden board, and the area is inside and outside, which adds up to thirty or fifty square meters, and the rent is one or two thousand yuan a month, which is completely incomparable with that store.

In addition, you need to pay three years of rent first, which is equivalent to pressing 650,000 yuan in cash, which is unwilling for many people for antique shops that are already squeezing funds.

Therefore, Boss Zhou kept looking at Qin Feng when he was talking, but he was afraid that this young man would be too expensive, after all, the bigger the stall, the more funds would be needed.

"Brother Feng, what do you think?"

Xie Xuan is purely the kind of person who is not afraid of big things, the bigger the store, the more accomplished he will be as the shopkeeper, and he looked at Qin Feng with a blank look at him at the moment.

"18,000 months, pay three years of rent first?"

Qin Feng fell silent when he heard this, and after about three or four minutes. opened his mouth and said: "Boss Zhou, if it is only the rent, I can afford it, but if the other party has any other additional conditions, this matter will not be easy to handle." ”

When he was in Jintian, Qin Feng had the experience of taking over an antique shop. He knew that unless it was a store that was leased directly from the market, it was basically transferred.

Since it is a business transfer, there must be various reasons, such as poor management or coercion like Xinnan, if it is a profitable business, naturally no one will push it out.

This raises the problem that those who transfer want to minimize their losses. It is often proposed to transfer the goods together, in that case, I am afraid that it will exceed the money that Qin Feng can come up with.

"Brother Qin, you studied under Mr. Qi, and I have a lot of contacts with Mr. Qi's disciples, so we are not outsiders......

Boss Zhou and Qin Feng said a close sentence, and then said: "The owner of this shop has a good relationship with me, but something has happened recently. I called him yesterday and asked him, and he showed a little bit of a desire to sell. Didn't I think of you right away, Brother Qin......

My old friend didn't go into details, but I think if you're interested, go to the store first, and as for the details, you two will sit down and talk. Whether it can be done or not has nothing to do with my old Zhou......"

Doing business in the capital in terms of the four treasures of the study must be inextricably linked to the cultural circle.

Boss Zhou is indeed good friends with several disciples of Qi Gong, and the reason why he works so hard to help Qin Feng find a shop is because he is afraid that he will be involved in the business of the four treasures of the study. Second, I also want to have a good relationship with Qin Feng.

"Boss Zhou, since you say so, we are really not outsiders."

Qin Feng naturally understood Boss Zhou's words, and said with a smile: "You are old friends with the owner of that shop, do you know what happened to him?" ”

In a place like Panjiayuan, a 200-square-meter shop is considered to be decoration and other expenses, I am afraid that the initial investment will be at least more than 10 million, and people who have no strength will not be able to play at all, and they can force that person to have the idea of transferring the store, which must not be simple.

Boss Zhou sighed and said, "Lao Fang, this person, everything is good, but the gambling is too big......"

"Big gamble? Lost money in Macau? Qin Feng was stunned when he heard this, as the saying goes, ten gambles and nine cheats, no matter how much money you have, as long as you are contaminated with gambling, you can lose a poor egg.

"It's not gambling money, he's gambling stones."

Boss Zhou shook his head, he thought that Qin Feng didn't know what gambling stones were, and explained: "Gambling stones is gambling jade, Hetian jade can gamble, but gambling is small, the old party was obsessed with gambling jade a few years ago, but last month he planted a big heel ......"

It turned out that the owner of the jade shop was called Fang Yazhi, and his ancestors had been engaged in antique trading since the Jiaqing Dynasty and opened a time-honored store called "Yazhi Zhai".

Although "Yazhi Zhai" is not as good as Shanghai's "Duo Yun Xuan" and Beijing's "Rong Bao Zhai", which is known as the south and north of Rong, it is also a century-old store and is famous in the antique shop in Beijing.

Different from the main calligraphy and painting of "Rong Bao Zhai" and the four treasures of the study, the early years of "Ya Zhi Zhai" made more miscellaneous projects, and almost all of the four categories of antiques were involved, thus giving people a sense of miscellaneous but not refined.

But by the end of the 80s, Fang Yazhi, the current owner of "Yazhi Zhai", took over the family business, but set the main product on jade, came up with new ideas, and launched a batch of high-end jade jewelry.

Beijing has always been the cultural center of the country, and the relationship between cultural people and jade has existed since ancient times.

After this batch of jade jewelry came out, it quickly became known as "Yazhi Zhai", and almost everyone who played jade did not know "Yazhi Zhai".

In the 80s and early 90s, the domestic economic situation also began to improve, many people had some spare money in their hands, and jade has always been said to support people, and the sales of jade jewelry began to rise during that time.

At that time, Fang Yazhi invested almost all his net worth in business, monopolizing the output of several jade mines in Xinjiang Province, and in the eighties and nineties in China, he can be described as a well-deserved jade predator.

Precise vision and bold investment have also brought rich returns to Fang Yazhi, who has opened nearly 50 chain jade sales stores across the country, and he has been in the limelight for a while. (To be continued......)
