Chapter 16: The World of Faces
Qian Yang's dream life was inadvertently opened.
The days in Qingling Pavilion were the most comfortable period of his two lives.
If you are greedy, you will go to the tavern on the street to eat delicious food, and the ingredients suitable for the monks of the foundation building period will not put any price pressure on a local tyrant.
When you are full of food and drink, you will come back to cultivate, and the high-quality pills in your pocket will not be used up, and it will be good to sit and wait for the cultivation to rise every day, and you will not be afraid of bottlenecks, and he has prepared suitable antiques for a long time.
When you are bored with cultivation, you can hide in your room and read a book, or simply play with the monkeys. The two little monkeys have a very good temper, and even if they are teased, they are just stupid. That trust and dependence, which is not mixed with any impurities, is even enough to make people cry sadly.
On this day, Qian Yang put Dashan Mountain in the spirit beast bag and was secretly playing with Xiao Shuishui, but the knock on the door rang unexpectedly.
Qian Yang frowned, coaxed Xiao Shuishui back to sleep, pushed open the door with a righteous expression, and let the disturbing and happy old Ding Tou into the door.
It is said that Qian Yang has been in Qingling Pavilion for more than half a year, but the intersection between him and Lao Dingtou is only limited to the greetings of childhood before and after meals.
Lao Dingtou has a good eye, since he knows that Qian Yang's mind is not in business, he will never cause trouble to this hands-off shopkeeper. He is responsible for the daily affairs of the store, although the work must be more, but there is less trouble in communication, for the old Ding Tou who has experienced the fingers of the two hundred and five shopkeepers, it is really not a problem to do some work.
However, there are always some things that he can't handle as an appraiser, so today, he has to come to the money shopkeeper with the reluctance in his heart to get an idea.
"Uncle Ding, sit down, sit down!" Qian Yang pressed the old Ding's head to the chair: "How can you have the leisure to find the juniors today?"
Lao Ding's expression was calm: "Isn't this a little trivial matter in the store, and I have to ask the shopkeeper to get an idea." ”
"Uncle Ding, it's good that you call the shots if there's anything! I don't know anything. Qian Yang is polite, he actually knows very well that since people are here, he can't run away.
Lao Ding shook his head: "This matter is not an urgent matter, and I also know that the money shopkeeper has no intention of mundane affairs, so I have been dragging it out, and I want to wait for the old shopkeeper to come back." But who knows that the old shopkeeper has been gone for more than half a year, but there is no news, I am afraid that if it drags on any longer, it will affect the business, so I have to trouble the money shopkeeper. ”
Lao Dingtou said this very clearly, that is, I know that you don't like to take care of things, so I don't want to make trouble for you, but this matter really can't be delayed, so I have to come to you. Don't blame me if you're annoyed, the old shopkeeper won't go home when he's playing outside, and someone has to call the shots in the store.
Qian Yang had to nod: "Then Uncle Ding will talk about it, I'll see if I can help come up with ideas?"
Lao Ding Tou sighed: "Actually, there are a lot of things to deal with when the old shopkeeper is here, but most of them are trivial matters, and when he leaves, he will deal with everything that can be handled, and I can solve all the messy things that I can solve, but there is a problem that is now when it is not solved." ”
"Uncle Ding said bluntly that it doesn't matter. Qian Yangxin said why is this old man so abrasive.
Lao Ding cleared his throat: "The shopkeeper couldn't be clearer, the main source of goods in our store is the large number of antiques that several bosses got last time, and after that, we also bought some piecemeal, but antiques are hard to find, and it is even more rare to come from the right way, and the little things collected are definitely a drop in the bucket compared to sales." ”
"Uncle Ding means that the supply in the store is insufficient?" Qian Yang was shocked, and said in his heart, if the store is gone, wouldn't it be closed?
Lao Ding Tou shook his head: "There are still some stocks in the store, and the main problem now is that because the inventory is getting smaller and smaller, there is less and less room for customers to choose from things of the same level." As a result, sales have been somewhat affected, and if it continues in the long run, I am afraid that it will not hurt the foundation of the store. ”
"What do you mean by the customer's choice?" Qian Yang really has no idea about the business in the store.
Lao Dingtou is not too troublesome, he has been prepared to grind his tongue before he comes, and it is definitely not a simple matter to explain things to a layman.
"For example, if a customer comes to the store and wants to buy an antique that can be used to break through the seventh layer of Qi refining, we naturally have to take out a few antiques of the corresponding level for them to choose from. These antiques are of similar grades, and if nothing else, the aura content in them is also similar, and the price is not too much, but the types and appearance of these antiques are very different. ”
"That's nature. "Business Qian Yang doesn't understand, but it can be said that Qian Yang is really not a layman.
Lao Ding Tou still said slowly: "To put it simply, the same antique of a thousand spirit stones, it may be a fine bronze ware, or it may be a shoddy silverware, it may be a small cup as smooth as new, or it may be a large water tank that is missing half of it. ”
Qian Yang nodded in understanding.
Lao Ding Tou continued: "No one dares to pack tickets for the quality of antiques, even if the things in our store are from reliable sources and have a good reputation, which can basically prevent the outflow of fakes, but the antiques sold in the store will inevitably have a certain proportion of semi-waste." ”
"Semi-waste?" Qian Yang opened his mouth to express surprise.
Lao Dingtou nodded: "The so-called semi-waste is that the aura contained in the antiques does not meet the standard expected in advance." Of course, customers buy antiques to break through the bottleneck, but when they buy them back and use them, they find that the antiques are real, but the aura in them is not enough for him to break through the bottleneck. ”
Qian Yang was thoughtful.
"It is needless to say that the reason for the production of semi-waste is that the appraiser's value judgment of antiques is skewed. Lao Ding Tou sighed heavily: "Antiques originally came from millions of years ago, and it is really difficult for people today to completely figure out the doorway inside." For example, I have an accuracy rate of about 80% in judging the value of antiques, and how good can other appraisers be?"
Qian Yang nodded, he knew that what Lao Ding Tou said was reasonable, even millions of years ago, those world-famous experts and scholars did not dare to say that they would not be able to make eyes, let alone now.
Lao Ding Tou continued: "If the appraiser overestimates the value of antiques, he will have semi-waste, if he underestimates the value of antiques, then he will lose money! Originally, people spent 1,000 spirit stones to break through to the seventh layer of qi refining, but as a result, the antiques were not far from building the foundation, wouldn't they take a big advantage?"
"Well, I understand. Qian Yang felt that he had increased his knowledge again.
"Whoever comes to buy antiques is picky and cautious, everyone wants to pick up the leaks, and no one wants to buy a semi-scrap product back. Lao Dingtou finally came back: "So, doing antique business is about an eye, if you look at a thing, it will make people comfortable, even if you increase the price, it can be easily sold." But if something doesn't look valuable, no matter how hard the guy sells it, people won't buy it. ”
"That is, what is left of the store now
Are they all ugly-looking antiques?" Qian Yang finally understood what Lao Dingtou was going to say for a long time.
"The beauty and ugliness in the eyes of the appraiser are very different from ordinary people, but I don't think it's ugly, and I don't have enough antiques that don't attract most people's like. Lao Dingtou still had that expressionless expression on his face.
Qian Yang snorted, and said in his heart that millions of years have passed, but the world is still the world where faces are seen, and even something as tall as an antique can't escape being judged by others.
"What does Uncle Ding think I can do now?" asked Qian Yang.
Lao Ding smiled: "The shopkeeper has a big ability, if you can find a way to buy another batch of goods, the problem of sales will naturally be solved." ”
Qian Yang smiled bitterly: "No matter how many antiques you get, won't those ugly ones still not be sold?"
Lao Ding Tou shook his head: "It's good to sell some now, and those who can't be sold will be kept and wait for the old shopkeeper to come back and find a way." ”
"Restocking...... This ......" Qian Yang had a headache, and after thinking for a long time, he shook his head: "I really can't get an antique now." ”
The old man was silent.
Qian Yang sighed, in fact, what he had been thinking about just now was whether it was possible for him to run the Infinite Valley again.
He knew that the Great Mountain Protection Array of the Infinite Valley had already been opened, and he would not let him enter or let out, but he also knew that the Great Array could not stop his Earth Escape Technique.
Qian Yang also knew that Qi Mu had sneaked to the edge of the ruins a few days ago and tried to get the antiques buried by Lu Shi, but Lu Shi had dropped the chain, and Qi Mu didn't dare to go deeper.
Qi Mu's kind of lord who wants money and doesn't want his life doesn't dare to enter the ruins, does he dare to enter Qianyang? Especially when the mountain gate is so noisy, no one can say what the situation is in the Infinite Valley now, isn't he afraid that his life is hard when he goes in and dries that troubled water now?
Qian Yang finally rejected Lao Dingtou's proposal, if you have money to make, you have to spend your life!
"What should we do with antiques like this that are not easy to sell?" Qian Yang, who was afraid of death, had to seek other ways to solve the problem.
"Price reduction!" Lao Ding Tou replied: "There are always some monks who don't have enough spirit stones at hand, and some people just like to pick up cheap ones, and they can deal with a lot after the price is reduced." ”
"How much does it usually drop?" asked Qian Yang.
"Haha! This is not something that the old man can say well!" The old Ding head snorted: "The values I can identify have been marked, as for how much I want to drop outside of this, when to drop it, and what reason to drop it, it is all knowledgeable, and the old man is really powerless about it." ”
Qian Yang suddenly realized: Is it a discount promotion? I have seen this.
Needless to say, everyone knows that money managers are familiar with all kinds of promotional methods. But he is also very clear that those price reductions and discounts that seem to have little technical content actually need to go through detailed data analysis and precise calculations to maximize benefits.
Specific to Qingling Pavilion, the problem seems to be more complicated, because he knows that the antiques here are all capitalless, so how much is the right price reduction?
In the end, he actually helped others look after the store temporarily, but he tried to be happy and threw off all other people's things at a lower price?
Qian Yang couldn't make up his mind, and finally said: "Uncle Ding, I'd better see what the rest of the antiques look like first!"
