Chapter 21 Root Carved Pen Holder
This is still the result of Shi Shuqing helping to find acquaintances, otherwise it is estimated that another 200,000 may not be enough. So Lu Feiming lamented that spending money is like running water, and opening a store by himself is far from being as simple as he imagined.
Fortunately, there are professionals here who are responsible for the renovation and decoration, and Bai Yan will also take the time to help supervise, but there is no need for Lu Feiming to be too annoying, his biggest problem now is the purchase.
The façade is there, and the store is almost set up, but you can't run out of goods, right? Antique shopAntique shop, you don't sell antiques and it's still called an antique shop?
But where to find antiques and what kind of antiques to find has become a series of problems. Shi Shuqing gave some guidance, but most of the things still need to be handled by Lu Feiming himself.
In fact, Shi Shuqing can help, but he wants to watch Lu Feiming grow step by step, and he also wants to test the true ability of this young man.
I pondered it for several days, in fact, Lu Feiming had some plans before, but I didn't expect to rent such a large courtyard as a store now, so some things and plans had to be modified.
First of all, the four wings on the left and right sides of the door, the two rooms on the east, Lu Feiming is ready to make a store for the monopoly of cultural toys, in recent years, because of the reason of rich life, bracelets and pendants and other cultural toys are more popular.
And the profit is not low, the purchase price and input cost are relatively not too much. Besides, I have enough space now. It can be used to do this kind of business, at least to make money for eating.
The first wing room on the west side sells some jade jewelry and other things, and the other room serves as a lounge, which can also be used as a general meeting room to entertain customers who come to shop.
Shi Shuqing, the purchase channel for jade jewelry, can provide it, after all, he is definitely a big man in this circle. In addition, including things like cultural toys, Shi Shuqing also helped Lu Feiming contact suppliers.
In the end, what really matters is what the three houses in the main hall are bought and sold, and that should be the most profitable and important.
According to Lu Feiming's plan and plan, the central main hall has the largest area, which is used to entertain customers, and even can be used to hold some small dating parties in the future.
On the left is the tea room, which is dedicated to the reception of more valuable guests and acquaintances. The seating showroom on the right is where antiques and artifacts for sale are placed.
In this way, it is just different from the previous wings, so that it can be divided from the low-end to the middle and high-end. As for the backyard, that is where Lu Feiming used to live and receive some more private customers.
In general, each area and use is well planned, and all the premises and area functions are fully utilized.
The most important thing next is to stock up, and Shi Shuqing helped to contact the jade cultural play, but the exhibition hall in the main hall can't be empty.
This is also the time when Lu Feiming is finally tested.
For the purchase of antiques, Shi Shuqing rarely didn't help this time, in fact, he really wanted to test Lu Feiming's ability. Otherwise, it's not a joke if you open a store.
Even though he is a master, he can't help you in everything all the time. It doesn't matter if you do small things, but when it comes to big things, Lu Feiming needs to make his own decisions.
At most, Shi Shuqing only provided some suggestions from the side, and the specific needs to be completed by Lu Feiming himself.
While the store was still in full swing for decoration, Lu Feiming visited several major places in Zhouhai City where antiques were bought and sold, especially in terms of stalls, which were the most likely places to be missed.
In the end, Lu Feiming also went to several big cities around him, thanks to the development of high-speed rail in China, almost hundreds of kilometers in range, one or two hours to arrive, every day Lu Feiming can visit a city's antique market.
Not to mention, because of his relatively solid professional knowledge and the blessing of superpowers, he really found a lot of good things during this time, although it is not particularly valuable, but it can be used to temporarily fill the façade in the past.
In this regard, Shi Shuqing is also very satisfied, after all, Lu Feiming's small shop has been implemented in less than a month since the beginning of the plan, and it is very good to be able to do this, and the rest depends on the future development.
On this morning, after Lu Feiming looked at the decoration of the store, he went to the old temple antique market. It happened to be a day off, and it was simply crowded.
There are many shops and stalls. Lu Feiming spent most of his energy on the stalls, after all, the prices here are cheap, although it is not so easy to pick up the leaks, but in case he can meet something good.
It's not that the store doesn't have good things, but after all, the price is there, and the profit margin is not so big.
After strolling around for a while, Lu Feiming stopped in front of a stall, squatted down, picked up a bamboo carved pen holder from the stall, looked at it carefully for a while, and asked the stall owner:
"Boss, how do you sell this?"
"Guest, if you like to give five dollars. This is an old thing, used by officials in the Ming Dynasty. ”
The stall owner was a middle-aged man in his fourteens, with dark skin and an honest appearance, but Yang En did not have a word of truth in his mouth.
"Hey, boss, you're the first day of the industry? This broken thing is still from the Ming Dynasty, it would be good if it was from the Republic of China, and it was clearly made of shoe polish.
If you don't believe it, it smells of shoe polish. But I look very good-looking, take it home and give it to my nephew to practice calligraphy, give you five cents, is there more. Lu Feiming looked disdainful, in fact, he was extremely optimistic about this bamboo carved pen holder.
In the jargon of the antique shop, one dollar is one hundred yuan of ordinary currency, and a dime is ten yuan.
This is also the black words in the industry, which were taught to Lu Feiming by Shi Shuqing. At least if you say that, it's not easy for others to treat you as a layman.
"Wumao, friend, this price is too little. So I'll give a step, and you give three dollars to take it. The boss began to bargain with Lu Feiming.
In fact, Lu Feiming doesn't care about these hundreds of yuan, the so-called bargaining is just a habit, and he can deal with the other party a lot, and inquire about some news in the market by the way.
Second, you can also exercise your ability to bargain, after all, you will open a store in the future, and you can't avoid negotiating with people.
After arguing for a while, the two sides finally reached an agreement and agreed to sell the deal at a price of five yuan, which is one hundred and fifty yuan, but at this moment, a young man came next to him, glanced at the bamboo carved pen holder in Lu Feiming's hand and said softly.
"Boss, I want this pen holder, give you a thousand yuan."
When Lu Feiming heard this, he immediately frowned.
