Chapter 338 [Strange Red Oak Dresser]
Two people have done it, supervised each other, cooperated with each other, and kept accounts separately to make traces. If there is a slight discrepancy, both of them know where the mistake is, and they can explain it like Yang Nianzhong, the boss, and John, the little boss.
This is also the reason why Yang Nianzhong paid overtime pay and asked the assistant financial director to accompany him, and Jimmy, the little prince of thrift goods, set up a stall at the flea market. Supervising each other like this is good for everyone, so that there will really be any problems at that time, because 1,800 US dollars will make John unable to get off the stage, which is not what Yang Nianzhong wants.
Because Jimmy's booth was so big and sold all kinds of things, she was overwhelmed with customers, and just sold a $150 air conditioner, and another guy had his eye on an electronic keyboard and was going to buy it home as a toy for his daughter.
So Jimmy began to call for his business again, and when the father who bought the electronic keyboard left, Yang Nianzhong nodded and pressed the baseball cap down, and lifted his collar up. With a toad mirror stuck in his eyes, he shook his head and passed by the stall of a few meters, Jimmy, this kid was busy with business, and he didn't see Yang Nianzhong.
After passing by Jimmy's stall, Yang Nianzhong began to wander around the flea market, and after half an hour, Yang Nianzhong felt that he was tired of walking, found a Starbucks café, ordered a latte and drank a few sips with a frown, and ate a piece of chocolate cake, which was considered to replenish a little energy.
If there is a teahouse, Yang Nianzhong will definitely choose to drink tea instead of latte for the first time, although Yang Nianzhong grew up in the United States, he is not very interested in coffee, and he can't stand the sour taste of coffee, or the tea is delicious, not only refreshing but also laxative.
After replenishing his energy and smoking a cigar, Yang Nianzhong began to shop in a hundred times more energy, and jumped to the market, just turned a corner Yang Nianzhong was suddenly stunned, there was a stall selling furniture in front of him, and the furniture he sold was actually retro, which made Yang Nianzhong feel very strange.
Because it is rare to sell furniture in flea markets, most of them also sell second-hand electrical appliances, and there are always such strange household utensils, clothes, shoes and bags, why is this happening?
That's because the flea market has a time limit, basically the stalls will be closed in the morning and afternoon, if you don't sell the furniture, it will be a hassle to move back and forth to the stalls.
Even if you sell it, you'll have to contact a truck for the customer who bought the furniture, or you'll have someone carry back a tall wardrobe. Who has so much strength, so there are very few stalls selling furniture, and there are only a few sporadic pieces, but this stall is different, what he sells is fake, and it is a set.
There are more than a dozen pieces of furniture of various styles and sizes, and the surrounding customers only glance at them, and then leave, because the prices of the furniture sold by the other party are not low. Each piece reaches more than 100 dollars, why are there so few customers? That's because the United States is vast and sparsely populated, full of forests, and some of them are wood.
So in the United States, wood is a very cheap building material, and that's why when you see these documentaries or news about tornadoes, you can see those residential areas. The reason why all the houses were scraped to pieces was that they were made of wood, can they not be broken? The price difference between a wooden house and a brick house is several times greater.
So the furniture is not expensive, even if it is solid wood pine furniture is very cheap, but the stall owner of this stall actually asks for such a high price. Yang Nianzhong's interest was aroused, and Yang Nianzhong came to the front of this stall with half a cigar in his hand, because all the furniture in the stall had price tags on it.
If anyone is interested in these furniture, they can see the price on it at a glance, and they don't have to ask the stall owner every time, so the stall owner just glanced at Yang Nianzhong and did not rush to greet his guests. Yang Nianzhong carefully observed these furniture, and then nodded involuntarily Why? Because there's a reason why this stall owner puts the price of furniture so high.
Because these furniture are all old furniture, they are all very well-preserved old furniture, at least a few decades old, and some of the furniture is in European style, probably handed down from aristocratic families. There is some reason why the price is a little higher, but why is there no customer at this stall? That's because the stall owner chose the wrong place.
So much good furniture, so much good old furniture, you should put it in the furniture store, not in the high jump market to choose to sell, and those who come to the flea market to buy things are greedy. You're selling this thing so expensive, who's going to sell it? So it's understandable that this stall is so deserted, because the stall owner didn't put his position right.
This did not affect Yang Nianzhong's observation of these furniture, because Yang Nianzhong became interested in these furniture, and involuntarily opened his own special function, the wardrobe on the side was normal, the writing desk was normal, the drawer cabinet was normal, and Yang Nianzhong was stunned when he turned his gaze to a red oak dresser.
Rubbing his eyes carefully, Yang Nianzhong's spirit came, this dresser made of red oak looks very old for decades, every part of the dresser is made of solid wood, the most special, the most special, that is, this dresser made of red oak, there is a partition between the countertop and the first drawer.
And this partition is boxy, the length can be more than 50 centimeters, the width is basically the same, this partition has a mezzanine inside, and there is a thick layer of dense fog-like objects in the mezzanine. Isn't it strange that a woman's dresser has a mezzanine with a book in it.
Yang Nianzhong didn't expect to come out to let off the wind today, and there was an unexpected gain, and when he saw that the price of this dresser made of red oak was 180 US dollars, Yang Nianzhong became interested. He waved to the owner, who was a middle-aged white man with a raccoon skin hat on his head, a full beard, and glasses with gold legs because of the low temperature.
"Well, which piece of furniture does the gentleman like? If the price is right, you can take it, after all, you are my first customer today, and it is only natural to give you a discount, which one do you like. ”
Seeing the boss say this, Yang Nianzhong just smiled and pointed to the red oak dresser placed at the front of many pieces of furniture and said. "Boss, this dresser looks very quaint, and it's solid wood, if I'm not mistaken, it should be red oak. But the style seems to have something to do with the European aristocracy, is it furniture that has been handed down from European aristocratic families? ”
The boss smiled slightly, looked at Yang Nianzhong and said with a thumbs up. "Good eyesight is really good eyesight, let me tell you the truth, our family is immigrant, although I am Irish, but my grandmother is German. This dresser was handed down by my grandmother, who lived in France and got this red oak dresser, and it is possible that the $180 from an aristocratic family is not expensive at all, you see. ”
