As a big city with a population of over tens of millions, Dahai City definitely has a lot of people who lack cash flow every day.
There are thresholds for financing and loans. If you have something of value in your hands, the best way is to sell it or pawn it.
If you are in urgent need of money, you will easily get ripped off when selling something, so pawn becomes your first choice.
Just like now, there are quite a lot of people coming here for short-term pawning, and they bring all kinds of things.
The most important ones are gold, jewelry, jade and other sundries.
Sundries occupy a large part. Here, sundries are famous cigarettes, famous wines, famous bags, and famous watches that can maintain their value.
These things are not easy to identify, so these counters seemed very busy.
No one came to pawn the porcelain, and Chen Wenzhe was happy and free.
The hall was bustling with people, so there was nothing much to do. Besides, there were two guys around him who were eyeing him. He felt a little malicious, so he naturally started to work seriously.
Turn on the computer and log in to the company's system skillfully.
The three-day training is still somewhat useful. At least he can use the company's system.
It's a pity that no one came to let him show off his skills.
He had nothing to do and couldn't be idle. He logged into the system backend directly and checked the company's internal price list.
A large part of the risk control department and price evaluation department execute the sales contract based on this price list.
As Chen Wenzhe read and took notes, he found that there was a huge gap between the purchase price and the market price.
This point is even more vividly demonstrated in this hall.
After working for more than half an hour, the business hall was almost full of people except for the three counters of calligraphy and painting, porcelain and antiques.
This is a small society, showing all kinds of life!
The people who come here are all in urgent need of money, so they have a lot of helplessness when it comes to pawning items.
In this world, there are few people who offer help when the time is right, and there are many people who take advantage of the situation and rob others.
A pawn shop is not a charity, and it will not do business at a loss.
For example, a little girl not far away brought a famous watch and wanted to pawn it.
There is an invoice, and the original price of the watch is 17,000 yuan. If it is pawned here, she will only be given 7,000 yuan.
The price was obviously high. The little girl was very satisfied and quickly agreed to the transaction.
Once the sales contract is signed, the watch belongs to the pawn shop.
Chen Wenzhe checked the internal price and found that this watch could be sold for at least 10,000 yuan. If the money was not needed urgently, he could make a profit of 5,000 yuan by selling it through internal channels.
This still leaves aside all channel expenses. With such a profit, you can buy a watch at half price.
After looking at it for a while, Chen Wenzhe also discovered that the things sold here were priced at half the price at most, and no lower price would be acceptable.
Even if the owner does not understand the market, those appraisers will not bid randomly. This may be the way for large companies to survive!
Earn the money you should earn and give customers as much money as possible, that is, you can build a good brand and still make money.
Only large companies can do this, otherwise, their appraisers will not be happy.
Because more money is given to customers, the company's profits decrease and the appraiser's commission is also lower.
However, there is no such problem in large companies because there are so many customers that it is even too many to handle.
For example, now, after just watching for a while, Chen Wenzhe discovered that the jewelry counter, the jade counter, and the three counters selling famous cigarettes, wine, bags and watches were already overcrowded.
Even the miscellaneous department was blocked by a lot of people.
There are so many things to do in this big city, so it's strange that so many people can gather at the pawn shop early in the morning.
"In the calligraphy and painting, gold, and porcelain departments, don't watch the excitement. Those who are confident can accept some customers."
As the number of customers increased, several popular counters were overwhelmed. Looking at the steady flow of customers, they had to find someone to share the pressure.
Soon, many customers were diverted from the calligraphy and painting department and the gold counter.
Now only Chen Wenzhe was left. At this time, Zhao Fei and Ye Chengfeng were all looking at Chen Wenzhe.
"What are you looking at? Since it's customary, let's pick up the guests!" Chen Wenzhe said with a smile.
"We're accepting guests." Ye Chengfeng shouted with a smile, and then a large number of people rushed over with a roar.
"Are you so enthusiastic?" Chen Wenzhe felt a little surprised. They were not a professional counter.
"Of course you are enthusiastic. If you specialize in porcelain, they will be happier." Zhao Fei said.
Chen Wenzhe understood immediately after thinking about it. The appraisal of other items that he did not understand would naturally be more beneficial to the customer.
"Young man, show me first." As he said this, a middle-aged man held a box of Maotai and placed it in front of Chen Wenzhe.
"Young man? At such a young age, you have been promoted to the first level of appraiser?"
It seems that this person is still knowledgeable, but his box of Moutai puts Chen Wenzhe in a bit of a dilemma!
To be honest, Chen Wenzhe doesn't know how to identify real wine or fake wine, but he understands people's hearts.
Just by looking at this middle-aged man, he knew that this was not someone he wanted to get along well with.
Bad eyebrows, thick flesh, thick muscles and bones, this one has them all.
Although it is not advisable to judge people by their appearance, if you smile even before you meet him, you will feel that he is not a good person no matter how you look at him.
Sure enough, when Chen Wenzhe opened the box, he discovered that the Maotai inside must have been tampered with.
He didn't need to look anywhere else, just look at the corners of the Moutai logo, open the logo from here, drill a small hole, and the wine inside would flow out.
This kind of deception is very common, and this middle-aged man is probably here to take advantage of it.
Just like now, I am too busy, maybe I am careless and cannot identify it?
Also, what if Chen Wenzhe is not professional enough and does not know about this kind of fraud?
“We won’t accept it if it’s drilled!”
"If the identification is correct, the achievement value will be increased by one!"
Chen Wenzhe was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal.
Such a simple appraisal also gives achievement value?
The middle-aged man behaved very normally, picking up the box and leaving as if nothing had happened.
In fact, when he saw Chen Wenzhe directly attacking the trademark, he knew he had no chance.
Therefore, after Chen Wenzhe's appraisal was completed, he said nothing.
Chen Wenzhe shook his head. Are they here specifically to collect wool from the pawn shop? Unfortunately, they don't have many opportunities.
"So easy?" Zhao Fei and Ye Chengfeng were completely stunned.
"I only know this method of identification. I won't look at other fake trademarks. This time it's a blind cat leading a dead mouse."
"Little brother, show me this bracelet."
The second guest took out a jade bracelet. He can be said to be professional in appraising bracelets.
As soon as he saw the green bracelet on the table, Chen Wenzhe knew that it was probably made from the bottom of a wine bottle, because it looked too green and too transparent.
If something like this were real, you wouldn't even have a chance to take a look without it.
However, without getting started and without identification, Chen Wenzhe dare not draw conclusions easily.
Sure enough, the slap in the face was very fast. As soon as he started using it, he felt that it was good.
