Chapter 37 Finding Goods
I didn't rush to contact the merchants, so I took a quick turn around the market.
As you go, think about which categories to buy.
If you want to keep it at home for collection, it is generally a bottle and bowl or a calligraphy and painting, and it should be good-looking.
Sculpture is also a good choice.
For ornaments, the "subject matter" is often more important than the object itself.
I found a shop that sells paintings and calligraphy, and I saw two nice landscape paintings in it.
"Boss, I want to see these two things."
Just from a distance, it should come from Tang Yin's hand.
Tang Yin's paintings have been found a lot, but most of the famous flowers are owner, and the paintings in circulation are very valuable.
"Little brother has vision! These two paintings are good things! It will cost tens of thousands to collect! ”
The boss smiled and gave me an introduction, and at the same time took it down for me.
He didn't mention Tang Yin, and I think maybe he didn't understand.
Wear gloves and confirm several times, except for the paper thin, it is confirmed that it is Tang Yin's authentic handwriting.
"Can I pre-order these two paintings? Get it in a few days. ”
I asked my boss thoughtfully.
"This ...... Which cousin is the little brother from? ”
"I haven't seen it."
The boss looked embarrassed, and when he saw that I was here to buy goods instead of buying and selling.
"I'm opening the hall myself, and I want to buy something."
I nodded slightly, looking at the boss as if he didn't want to sell.
"Let's put it this way, who does your hall rely on? I don't want anyone to come looking for trouble. ”
Under the stalemate, the boss put away the two paintings and slowly spoke.
"I didn't rely on anyone, but I asked Uncle Seven, and he has no opinion."
I thought, this will always keep him from worrying.
Although I didn't mess with Uncle Seven, I can save a lot of trouble by borrowing his name.
"I see, little brother, your surname? If you look good, we can cooperate for a long time, and I can also introduce some good goods. ”
Hearing the three words of the seventh uncle, the boss immediately breathed a sigh of relief and showed a smile, "I will charge 100,000 yuan for these two paintings, if you want to make a reservation...... Give me 20,000 first. ”
"Thank you, I'll only need these two paintings for the time being."
I said and handed him a deposit of 20,000 yuan.
The boss happily gave me a ticket and told me to come directly to him when I wanted to take it.
I made a note of the store and walked to the other stores.
One afternoon, I walked around three or four shops in the antique mall.
spent 200,000 to get a lot of good things.
Although I haven't decided on the name of Tangkou yet, the purpose of my opening has been determined - my shop only sells genuine products.
There are shops, people, and goods, and the next thing is the small things that are scattered and scattered.
I'll leave all of this to Chen Cheng to do.
I don't know why, Chen Cheng gives me a special sense of steadiness.
Back to the shop.
Xiao Chen and Xiao Luo were giving Lu Yunchuan a lesson, while Chen Cheng was calling to contact some relevant decorations and materials.
Sitting on the stairs, I was facing the door of the store and breathed a sigh of relief.
I didn't expect to be able to reopen the hall so quickly.
But I didn't realize at the time that happiness comes too quickly and is always accompanied by calamity.
"Where did you go?"
Chen Cheng was almost busy, sitting next to me, "I have already contacted the Furniture City, and everything will be shipped over in two days." ”
After talking about the wholesale market, I asked Chen Cheng to follow me in the future.
At this time, we also calculated what else we needed, and of course I gave Chen Cheng the money in advance.
Tables, chairs, shelves, second-hand vans, ledgers, computers, these Chen Cheng are all prepared for me.
As evening approached, we were going to "get off work" first, and through the glass of the door, I saw a few people talking in front of my hall.
"You are busy first, and tell me when you are short of money."
I said as I got up and walked to the door.
"Our hall will open in a few days."
I thought these were antiques that I wanted to see in the future, but I was wrong.
"Who told you to set up shop here?"
One of the young men saw me come out and put on the attitude of a vice-principal, "There are only two antique shops here!" ”
"Who said that? The store is here, whether to open or not is not someone else's decision. ”
In the face of their arrogance, I calmly fought back.
"See, the other ones are all miserable."
The young man put on a proud look as if they had done it, "I can warn you, close the shop quickly, or you will bear the consequences!" ”
With that, the young men swaggered away.
I walked out of the street and glanced at these people, who were from the Ronghua antique shop behind.
Sure enough, "fierce competition".
Looks like I have to be on guard.
"Someone might come and make trouble."
Back in the store, I thought about it, "The other ones that have closed down are probably the same thing." ”
"Brother Shen, I think you better change places, this street is too dangerous."
Xiao Luo taught Lu Yunchuan and responded casually.
"It's okay, the hall is open, I want to see what they are capable of!"
I thought, they look like bastards, and at most they will come and smash them.
In addition to adding roller shutter doors, I also took Chen Cheng to take a closer look at the entire store.
At this time, I realized that the caring former owner had installed surveillance for the entire store.
"After that, we connected these surveillances, and we all worked hard when we first opened the store."
Listening to my words, Chen Cheng nodded slightly, "I'll call someone to deal with it tomorrow." ”
I'm good at looking at antiques, but Chen Cheng has given me a lot of help in opening a shop.
It's time to get off work, lock the door and Chen Cheng and I take a taxi to leave.
"Shen Fan, I thought about it, the name of our hall has not yet been decided!"
On the way, Chen Cheng suddenly reacted to something.
"Uh......"
I was stunned, in fact, I didn't think about it, but in this car, I made a temporary decision!
"It's better to call it an extraordinary antique, my store is extraordinary!"
I feel pretty good about the name.
"I think it's interesting, so let's make a brand with this!"
Chen Cheng thought about it and said, "It may take a few days to customize the plaque, but it can be done." ”
"Little brother, where is the opening of the hall?"
When the driver who sent us heard us chatting, he immediately became interested, "I also like antiques, if I want to open it, I will call some friends to cheer us up?" ”
It turned out that the driver usually drove for the boss, and after work, he stopped by for a while to ride the driver of the online car-hailing service.
Influenced by the boss of his company, many of his friends are also antique-loving.
"Where is your store?"
"Right where you picked us up just now."
I replied with a slight smile, which was considered good luck.
Originally, when the hall opened, I wanted to ask Li Ming to call some friends to cheer me on.
First, the distance is long, and Li and I understand that we are not opponents on the same street.
Second, I deliberately avoided Li Mingming's main antiques such as bottles and bowls of ancient coins, so theoretically he would not have too many conflicts when introducing customers.
Of course, it is great to have a driver to help call a friend to cheer you on.
