The two of them walked in the warehouse area where the goods were piled up, looking at the various things that were full of pits, and Mr. Fox was both happy and a little headache.
These things can't be stacked together, they are not uniform specifications, and if they are to be stacked together, they must first be bracketed, that is, to make a frame for each thing, to ensure that it will not be crushed during the load-bearing process.
It takes a lot of money, and then there are all kinds of labor costs, mechanical costs, and after piling them all together, it will be a huge project to come up with one of them.
Eventually, they will have to be laid out in a warehouse with a huge space as they are now, and at most some small things will be placed on top of what can be pressed.
From tables and chairs to artworks and paintings, the stuff here covers almost everything an ordinary person needs in his life, and even Lynch saw a set of silver cutlery.
With a white and delicate ivory handle and a sterling silver skeleton, a total of six sets of knives, forks, plates and bowls are placed in a large box, giving people a very pleasing feeling.
Perhaps noticing Lynch's gaze, Mr. Fox smiled and said, "It was sent by an old woman, saying that it was a gift from her son when she retired, but this year her son's business has encountered some trouble and needs money urgently, so ......"
Lynch nodded, not that he could understand, but he knew that everyone who appeared here was very short of money right now, and no matter what reason they had, they came here for the same purpose.
"I gave her 1,700 yuan for this set of cutlery, if you like it, you can take it back ......", he could see that Lynch seemed to like this set of cutlery, anyway, he didn't care much about one or two thousand yuan, so he was rare and generous.
Lynch shook his head, "The price you gave is a little higher, ivory is worthless, silver is not worth much, and two worthless things together will not become valuable." β
The land area of this world is much larger, and there are many uninhabited areas that have not been damaged by humans and technology, and where nature remains in its most primitive form.
Ivory, which is strictly forbidden to be transported and sold in another world, may be a common material in the middle and high end here, and it is not a scarce thing.
Mr. Fox didn't understand a little, he had seen similar ivory sterling silver tableware in some stores, the price of two or three thousand, three or five thousand was staggering, like this ivory sterling silver cutlery with as many as six sets, he felt that he was a little unconscionable to give more than a thousand yuan, but he didn't expect Lynch to think that he gave too much.
"The old woman you said must have gone to the antique shop before coming to your ......," Lynch raised his foot and walked on, and as he went, he said, "Mr. Fox, I don't know if you have any other opinions about your work, but I think work is work, and personal sensibilities are personal matters that cannot be mixed up. β
"It's your right to sympathize and pity others, but we can't convert this sympathy and pity into our business as economic value in a valuable way, which will make many people bear some trouble because of it!"
Many superiors are not mature enough when they first become superiors, and their behavior is also a little naΓ―ve, and they will not be able to distinguish between what can be expressed and what cannot be expressed.
To Mr. Fox, he may have just taken pity on an old woman and overvalued the collateral she had sent, but it is possible that the mortgage agreement would not be approved by the bank, thus blocking a loan of about a thousand dollars, which in turn would affect Lynch's income of about one hundred and fifty to two hundred dollars.
If you roll this money up, you will lose even more, and Mr. Fox himself will lose a lot of money, and what will happen is just a flood of compassion.
"Little Mr. Fox seems to have a different ......opinion," Lynch asked, noticing the disapproving look on Mr. Fox's son's face.
Mr. Fox looked at his son beside him, and Mr. Fox Jr. pursed his lips, "We sympathized with and helped an old woman, and I am not ashamed of it, but proud of it." β
Mr. Fawkes's eyes lit up slightly, and he bowed his head in satisfaction, in fact, many times people like him who wandered in the gray area always had a very strange heart.
They want their children to be stronger than they are, ruthless, ruthless, without any weaknesses or challenges, but at the same time they want their children to be kind, friendly, like angels.
Perhaps this is the complexity of human nature, and Mr. Fox looked back at Lynch with satisfaction in the face of his son's words.
There was no provocation, just curious how Lynch would answer, and he was guessing.
Lynch smiled, "I respect your approach to the world, but first we need to figure out if the world is really what we see." β
"First, if a family can come up with such tableware, if they encounter a problem, they will definitely not just mortgage a set of ivory sterling silver tableware to solve it, if it is only one or two thousand yuan to solve their troubles, they do not need to go through the way of a financial company to solve it. β
As soon as this sentence came out, Mr. Fox and his son were stunned for a moment, they ignored this little problem, a family that could afford a few thousand dollars of cutlery already needed to mortgage something to get by, and one or two thousand dollars was of no use to them at all.
It's like a collaboration between Mr. Fox and Lynch, and he wasn't optimistic about the cooperation with Lynch before, and the big reason was because Lynch couldn't come up with the money - they knew that Lynch had about 100,000 dollars in his hand, but the money meant nothing to Mr. Fox.
As soon as Lynch's words came out, the faces of the two people suddenly changed a little.
Lynch continued to hold out two fingers, "Second, it looks like you haven't found anyone to test its authenticity......", Mr. Fox and Little Fox were a little embarrassed and speechless, and finally Mr. Fox nodded.
They have been very busy lately, and they don't have time to deal with these problems, and for the father and son who have been swelling their assets, even if it is true or fake, they have not lost much, not even a loss.
At least they got a kind of spiritual satisfaction from helping the old woman, and their personality and soul were sublimated, even if the money was not returned, and the thing was fake, in fact, it didn't matter.
The problem is that this is broken by Lynch, and suddenly there is a feeling of helplessness like a child mistakenly thinks that he has done a good thing but leads to a bad result.
They're not kids, they're adults, so it's just embarrassing.
Lynch continued, "A poor old woman, a collateral that we still don't know the truth of, a story that sounds flawed......", a smile on his face that added a hint of ridicule, and his eyes also looked at Little Fox, "Do you still feel honored for the things you have done?"
There was a brief calm between the three of them, little Fox lowered his head, Mr. Fox was also thinking, Lynch gave them some time to think clearly, and then sighed, "These are from a business, work point of view, if we meet someone who needs help, if we have the ability, then we should also give them help." β
"Remember, we only help people who really need help, not scammers, and I'm sure there will be a lot of scammers trying to get worthless things here in the next few years, and you'd better find a few knowledgeable people as soon as possible, otherwise the bank loan is likely to not go anywhere." β
"For things that you can't tell if they're real or fake, treat them as if they're ......," he said, continuing to walk forward, "where did we talk about that?"
The Fox father and son hurriedly followed, "Speaking of dealing with these things in the warehouse......"
