Chapter 244: Suffering
I found that sometimes, when bad luck came up, I really stuffed my teeth with cold water.
The door is not far from us, it is seven or eight meters away, there are two waiters outside the door are greeting, I saw a tall man at a glance, with a horse face, a big back, a suit and leather shoes, is swaggering inside.
It's Dasha, I didn't expect him to appear here, but after thinking about it, he spoke with a very strong Hong Kong accent, he should be a Xianggang himself, and he should have gone home this time, but he just happened to run into it.
Sure enough, Dasha was stunned for a moment when he saw me, and then shouted at me from afar: "Ah, isn't this the second brother, the wind bleated you, I'm really happy to see you......"
Saying that, Dasha wanted to come up and hug me, I took a few steps back and said coldly: "Silly brother, we are not all the way, it is better to be less close." ”
Dasha's expression froze, and he pushed me directly, and said viciously, "Huh? Isn't that more than noodles? Now this is Grandpa's land, do you dare to refute my face? ”
Dasha said, and a few people with him surrounded him with unkind faces, I really felt a fire in my heart, why can Dasha bring so many people in, if Li Long and Lin Bin are here, I won't be afraid of him, right......
"Dasha, Boss Ma has a banquet today, don't make trouble here."
Li Kuan walked up at this time and said coldly: "You made such a big deal last year, many people know your black history, be careful not to let people turn the old bottom out." ”
"Hey, why are you ...... here" Dasha smiled jealously, and said that since Kuan Shao let go, then this face must be given, brothers, let's go around somewhere else......
Dasha took people away after speaking, but before leaving, he glared at me, looking like we were walking and seeing, Boss Zhao frowned, and said to Li Kuan: "What is the origin of this Dasha?" Recently, there has been a lot of trouble in our Jiangzhou City, is he from Xianggang? ”
"This big fool, I have always been the head snake on our side before...... Li Kuan explained to us in a low voice: "Last year, this guy made a big news, forced the daughter of a rich businessman, and imprisoned him for a few months, messed with the stomach of an adult, forcibly cooked raw rice, and wanted to be the son-in-law of the richest man...... But which father can swallow this kind of bird breath? It just so happened that the rich businessman had a good relationship with the richest man Li, so Dasha was arrested by Ah Sir, and he was released on bail after he heard that he had spent all his property, and there was no place for him here in Xianggang, so he could only go to the mainland to develop. ”
"So that's ......" Boss Zhao said very unpleasantly: "This guy is a thorn, he didn't even see our Uncle De, he left Xianggang, and went to our Jiangzhou City to do things." ”
Li Kuan was a little surprised, and said that your Uncle De is so famous, and the entire Nansha Bay was his, and he couldn't even deal with Dasha? It doesn't make sense......
I was a little helpless and explained: "Uncle De doesn't want to fight and kill, he talks about the rules when he sees people, if he really wants to fight, Dasha is definitely nothing, but unfortunately, Uncle De is old, and he doesn't seem to have that kind of fighting spirit......"
Li Kuan snorted, didn't dwell on the topic anymore, he said to us: "Dasha can't get mixed up in Xianggang anymore, don't be afraid, there are a lot of guards on this ship, he doesn't dare to mess around." ”
I nodded, and Li Kuan led us to the side, through two doors and a corridor, and the front was soon lively, full of people, who seemed to be designers, looking around the table to read the designs, and the discussion was very loud, just like rushing to the market.
The three of us walked to a corner, and suddenly, Boss Zhao pointed to a design drawing on the table and said to me, "Brother Chen Ge, the quality of this suit is good, right?" ”
I looked at the picture and nodded, this is a very common suit, the narration next to it, marked with fabrics suitable for production, are relatively cheap materials, which shows that the price of this suit will be very close to the people, suitable for the public, but it is endorsed by a traffic actor in the mainland, the level of the designer is extremely high, the details and appearance are top-notch, and the style is also diversified, both the tuxedo of Lao Ying, and the slim smooth line of the Asia-Pacific region, and also caters to the sturdy bodies of men in Europe and the United States, several versions are combined together, It's hard not to think about it.
However, when I look at the price, yes, 20 million US dollars, this is too scary, although such clothes have long been released, and even have passed the maximum popularity, but can be bound into design drawings and re-sold, the clothes circulating on the market must be out of print, because the manufacturer has also made the right, at this time, if you buy the design back, produce it yourself, and then after a new round of advertising promotion, there will definitely be a new wave of warm-up, and there will be no problem if you want to make a small profit.
I'm really depressed in my heart, this kind of picture is put out, it is to pick up money for nothing, but it's a pity, the lowest starting price is 170 million, the little money on my card, not even a fraction is enough, even if the bidding is just a waste of time, it's a pity.
Boss Zhao saw that my expression was ugly, so he patted me on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen Ge, don't worry, these pictures are all medium to upper pictures, and it is normal for the price to be expensive, anyway, it's still early, we can go and take a look at the cheap pictures, anyway, you have a unique life, we will do it again when we are optimistic." ”
I think I'm a bit out of shape, indeed, looking at these good designs, you can earn when you buy them, but the feeling when you don't have the money to buy them is like a caterpillar crawling on your body, itchy and uncomfortable.
I didn't say anything, silently walked to a few small round tables on the side, outside the window is the corridor of the main road, there is a golden gate at the end of the corridor, more than a dozen bodyguards are guarding the door, I know that the horse rich merchant should be inside, but I don't know when I will be able to enter, it is estimated that it will be difficult in this life, 10 billion? I have to think about it.
I retracted my gaze and stabilized my emotions, at this time, a picture on the right hand side caught my attention, I subconsciously wanted to pick it up and look at it, but the waiter standing on the side immediately stopped and said to me: "Sir, civilized look at the picture, we have rules here, guests are forbidden to flip the design drawing, if you have any needs, we will serve you." ”
I listened to a little embarrassed, in Jiangzhou City inverted map habits, always pick up to see, I didn't expect it to be allowed here, I didn't speak, leaned down to look at the design, found that this is a set of knee-length down jacket, just like the appearance of a military coat, but the shape is more trendy, divided into blue, white, yellow, red, black five bright colors, each color of the shape is different, which means that there are five versions of this set of clothes, the back is printed is a character portrait in an anime, very avant-garde, it seems to be co-produced with an animation company, It seems to be called the boy of light, it is more bloody, suitable for adults to see, Boss Zhao and Li Kuan walked up, and the two of them also looked around the design drawing, they were a little surprised, very excited, Li Kuan said to me: "Brother Chen Ge, your vision is really good, the price of this dress is only one million US dollars, it is estimated that it is the cheapest design drawing, the boy of light?" This anime is very popular in Asia, my son has just entered his third year of high school, and he especially likes to watch it, and his home is full of portraits of the characters in it, or ...... Let's bid on this image, shall we? That's a lot of money. ”
Boss Zhao and Li Kuan have the same opinion, he also likes this picture very much, the idea of the design drawing itself is not too wrong, the overall design belongs to the middle and upper class level, but I have the opposite opinion, I am not optimistic about this picture, because I usually watch the news on the Internet, go to the forum Weibo, and know that the reputation of this anime is very poor, because of bloody reasons, it has been banned from the mainland on a large scale, especially fatal, is that the animation elements have been questioned for plagiarism, and even a lawsuit has been started, so this picture is cheap, It is because of these external factors, even if it is auctioned, it will definitely not be sold at a high price, and it may even lose money.
"Two bosses, I don't like this picture very much, so I won't participate in it......" I said, rubbing my hands.
Li Kuan frowned, looking a little unhappy, and said Brother Chen Ge, I also know how to do it, are you questioning my vision?
I waved my hand and said my psychological concerns, Li Kuan smiled after hearing it, and said You are just guessing, the boy of light is so popular, even if it is controversial, it is just to increase the heat for him, I decided to buy this picture, a stable and loss-making business...... Boss Zhao, what do you mean?
"Hehe, Kuan Shao, our heroes see the same thing, it just so happens that I also like this picture, since the Chen Ge brothers are not involved, then we will make a joint venture, one person will contribute half of the money, and the profits will be divided equally, how about it?" Boss Zhao said very politely.
"Okay, that's it, one million dollars, split it up is three million per person, I'll pay for it first, and you can make up the difference for me when I go back......
Of course, Boss Zhao had no opinion, so Li Kuan took the brand to bid, and the bid was 1.1 million.
To be honest, I'm a little unhappy in my heart, I've already said the risk, but they don't listen to me, the most afraid of the picture is that people are too talkative and incomplete, you think about him, and in the end I don't know who to listen to, so I have to take the initiative.
After a while, Li Kuan came back, and a line of words appeared on the big screen behind him: 18 tables of No. D products, Mr. Li Kuan bid 1.1 million US dollars.
We just waited, and there were a lot of designers around, some saying yes, some saying bad, and after five minutes, there was no second person bidding, so the design was successfully bought.
"Boss Zhao, congratulations, you have the backstage of the design conference, right? Send the picture up and see if there are any customers who buy ......it," Li Kuan said happily.
"Wait a minute, I'll take a picture and upload ......" Boss Zhao took out a notebook from his briefcase, took a picture of the design, and then copied it into the computer and uploaded it directly to the background of the design conference. ”
I was a little helpless, since they were going to drill the horns, I had nothing to say, so I accompanied them to wait.
Suddenly, the screen on the computer changed, and Boss Zhao immediately clicked into the background and found that the review results of the design drawings had been released, with only a very brief paragraph: This picture has been professionally identified, and there is a great risk because the linkage animation has crossed reviews in most regions, and the platform will not accept it, and it is recommended to change hands at a price of 500,000 US dollars......
"Grass, let's resell it for half a million dollars?" Li Kuan said angrily: "We bought it for a million dollars, but we had to sell it at half price, isn't this a loss?" ”
Boss Zhao was also a little annoyed, no one's money was blown by the wind, and he lost three million RMB when he turned around, and everyone was blocked in his heart, Li Kuan looked a little embarrassed, and said Boss Zhao, this time I was blind, Brother Chen Ge was right, we should really listen to him......
Boss Zhao waved his hand and said: "No way, the inverted picture is like this, there is no absolute loss, it's normal......"
After he sighed, he said to me: "Chen Ge, can this picture still be saved, can you change it?" ”
I shook my head directly, and I said: "It's not so simple to change the picture, this set of clothes already has its own style direction, especially in cooperation with the animation company, the style has been bound to the boy of light, the limitations are very large, there is no need to change it." ”
The two of them smiled bitterly and shook their heads, and Boss Zhao said to me: "Brother Chen Ge, don't be sarcastic about us, it seems that this inverted picture really can't just look at personal preferences and feelings, but also needs to be carefully analyzed and studied." ”
I nodded, and Li Kuan said, "Brother Chen Ge, we are not in a good position, and it is up to you next, don't disappoint my brother......"
I laughed a little and said to them, "Two bosses, if you really want me to make a move, I hope you two will leave the decision to me." ”
Boss Zhao smiled and said, "Of course, isn't the lesson of five million purchases enough?" ”
Li Kuan also nodded, I looked at the attitude of the two people, and I was still very satisfied.
I didn't have hypocrisy, silently walked forward, carefully looked at the surrounding design drawings, the prices of these drawings are low, the starting price is 500,000 to 2 million, the reverse picture not only has to experience strength, but also has to rely on IQ, if it is a tendon, sooner or later it will be a loss.
I looked at the banquet hall, although there are not many people, but there are dozens, most of them are in groups of three or five to look at the picture, where there are many people, there must be competition, so I have to go to a place with few people, but the designers who can participate in this kind of banquet are all powerful, no one looks at the picture, either the potential is not great, or they can't afford it, want to pick up the leak between the two, luck and courage are indispensable.
I walked to an area where no one watched and competed, and suddenly, there was an inconspicuous set of clothes that caught my attention, this is a set of girls' Japanese/department school uniforms, made of T-shirts, short skirts, and stockings, which seem to be very old-fashioned at first glance, and should have been eliminated by a school in a certain city, Boss Zhao saw me staring, and he also observed for a while, but soon he shook his head and said Brother Chen Ge, this school uniform style is too old, and this style is only suitable for cherry blossom country, even if it is changed, It can only be sold to the merchants over there in the cherry blossoms, not to mention the small audience, and there is no profit if it is not good......
I smiled and said Boss Zhao, don't worry, I'm actually quite optimistic about this picture, if you believe me, take a picture of it.
Boss Zhao and Li Kuan glanced at each other, I could see from their expressions that they didn't really want to buy, but they didn't refuse, Boss Zhao pinched his chin, a little worried, and said: "Brother Chen Ge, as the so-called horse has a hoof, your vision is really good, but to be honest, this kind of picture really has no potential, why don't you think about it again?" ”
Li Kuan also nodded and said, "The design drawings are too old-fashioned, and the audience is small, so it is not cost-effective." ”
I shook my head when I heard this, and I said, "I have already planned the idea of changing the map in my head, don't worry, I can't lose my hand, you believe me once......"
The two of them pinched their chins and looked at the price, it was not very expensive, it was only two million prices, which was just twice as expensive as the previous design drawing, but this was the reserve price, and it depended on what the final transaction price was.
Boss Zhao looked at Li Kuan, Li Kuan shook his head, I was a little anxious, I said: "Boss Zhao, you said you want to listen to me, but now I have taken a fancy to the design drawing, and you don't participate in ......"
"I'm participating, I'm just waiting for Li Kuan to make a decision, isn't it, we're a team......" Boss Zhao said.
Li Kuan smiled and said, "Brother Chen Ge, I'm sorry, I'm really not optimistic about this picture, so I still won't join the joint venture." ”
I was a little frustrated when I heard it, I didn't expect that after the experience just now, he still didn't believe me, but I didn't force it, after all, the risk of changing the map is also big, there is no 100% profit, if I force him to join, and finally lose money, then the responsibility has to be on me.
I looked at Boss Zhao, he was silent for a while, and said, "Chen Ge, I'll buy ...... with you"
I laughed when I heard it, or Boss Zhao was more familiar with me, he went to take the bidding board and wrote the price, I said: "Give 2.1 million to try the water." ”
