Chapter 126 Picture of playing with fish in water, I want it
Chen Dashan sighed heavily, "Yes, I really can't wait for the auction. To be honest, brother, the reason why I am so short of money is because I spent three million to invest in a high-end hotel with food and accommodation in another province.
Homestay.
"The design fees from well-known designers in the industry alone cost 200,000.
"Then I used the decoration budget of a four-star hotel and used all environmentally friendly materials. In the end, the material cost and labor cost me more than 1.8 million.
"However, the occupancy rate of the B&B has not been very satisfactory in the past two years since it opened. At first, I thought it was a problem with the chef and waiters. After changing two groups of people, the taste and service attitude have been very good, but the business has still not improved. p>
"I didn't know until last year that the guests just thought the rooms were expensive. I lowered the price of a single room from 280 to 220, and then from 220 to 180. And the breakfast was free, and the occupancy rate was so high.
It has finally come up. Although this price is not enough to make a loss, the profit is pitifully small.
"The rent is paid every three years, and in three days I have to pay another 700,000 yuan in rent. Now I am so worried that I can't sleep at all, so I can only sell the calligraphy and paintings passed down by my ancestors to make an emergency."
"Pa!"
As soon as Chen Dashan finished speaking, Shen Yu opened the password box just in time, "This is 600,000, which is all the cash we brought. Brother Chen, do you think this price is okay?"
Chen Dashan swallowed his saliva first, and then showed a look of embarrassment, "Brother, no, you are the most conscientious antique dealer I have ever seen. If you don't have to pay the rent, I will definitely pay this price.
Sold to you.
"But you also know my current situation, I am very short of money.
"I have paid off the debts for the antiques I sold before. If I don't pay them back, my family will have to have them dismantle them.
"According to the contract, I have priority to renew, but if I can't come up with 700,000 yuan in the next three days, the decoration of my B&B will be in vain.
"There are still many people waiting to pick up the slack, so I need to have at least 700,000 now.
"In this way, if you give me another 100,000 yuan, I will sell it to you for 700,000 yuan."
Now that Chen Dashan had said so, Shen Yu turned to look at Pei Yuqin, with a questioning look in his eyes, meaning how about 700,000, can he buy it?
Pei Yuqin thought for a while and said to Shen Yu: "I'll go out and call the shopkeeper."
"Well, just fight outside the door. Don't go out of the yard. There are too many people on the street at this time." Shen Yu warned.
Since Pei Yuqin said that she, the general manager of Xingting Antiques Chuzhou Store, has a store owner, if the purchase price exceeds her control, she must ask for instructions.
To put it bluntly, the general manager Pei Yuqin is just a part-time store manager.
Pei Yuqin smiled warmly at Shen Yu, and then slowly walked out of the room.
"I haven't asked my brother what your name is?" Chen Dashan poured Shen Yu a cup of tea and asked cheerfully.
Shen Yu responded with a smile: "No need to give your surname Shen, just use the word Yu in your name, and you will be cured."
"Shen Yu, what a good name! You and I hit it off right away, so why not leave each other's contact information!" Chen Dashan thought for a while and suggested.
Shen Yu also had a good impression of Chen Dashan, so they left their phone numbers and added each other on WeChat.
"Brother Shen, I'm very short of money right now. Except for the furniture, you can sell all the other calligraphy, painting, and porcelain that you like!" Chen Dashan pointed to the various porcelain vases and porcelain bottles on the rosewood shelves. Several scrolls on the wall said.
Shen Yu smiled, "Brother Chen, since calligraphy, painting and porcelain can be sold, why can't you sell furniture? You must know that the furniture you have is all mahogany furniture from the Qing Dynasty, which is very valuable!
"For example, the style of these six huanghuali carved partition fans should be from the mid-Qing Dynasty. The price of each one on the market now is not less than 500,000 yuan. Six of them is 3 million yuan.
"The rosewood Eight Immortals table where we drink tea and place paintings has a natural patina and the same pattern and color. Although we can't tell which period it is from the Qing Dynasty, it can be sold for at least 700,000 yuan based on its appearance and weight. Once you have the money, Brother Chen, your urgent need can be easily solved!"
Chen Dashan glanced at the bedroom in the distance and whispered: "Xiao Shen, I know what you are talking about, brother. There is a bid of 2.3 million for the red rosewood Arhat bed from the Qianlong period.
"The Huanghuali six-panel screen you mentioned was offered for 2.8 million yuan.
"Someone took a fancy to the screen of Suihan Sanyou and even came with 1.5 million in cash.
"Even the pedals that the old man often rides on are given 250,000 yuan.
"But I can't sell these. The old man has been used to it all his life. To be unfilial, unless the old man comes a hundred years later, I would rather be taken over by the landlord than sell these furniture.
"If I really make the old man sick, I will have to live with guilt for the rest of my life. In fact, I just want to succeed once, why is it so difficult?"
Chen Dashan's eyes turned red as he spoke. It seemed that he didn't feel good about selling his ancestors' collection. Shen Yu poured him a cup of hot tea and comforted him: "I can sign an agreement later, and you will be painted in one or two years." There is also a certain repurchase right. When the business makes money, you can buy it back. It is nothing more than spending more money."
Chen Dashan waved his hand, "Not to mention making a lot of money, brother, I would be satisfied if I could recoup the cost. In fact, I don't blame my old man for being disappointed. The main reason is that I am too unsatisfactory.
"After I graduated from college, I was very ambitious and didn't want to work. I always wanted to learn how to do business and become a wealthy person. At first, I set up a street stall selling small commodities such as wallets, insoles, belts and socks, which are the same ones found in two-yuan stores. I earned 2,000 yuan in three months. Money made me angry immediately.
"Later I saw people selling clothes. I was so excited that a leather jacket could earn more than 100 yuan, so I went directly to Dongjiang to start a clothing wholesale business. As a result, the clothes I didn't have a good eye for were not of good style. After three years of working, not only did I Instead of making any money, I lost more than 70,000 yuan.
"If I had invested the 70,000 yuan seventeen or eighteen years ago in antiques, I would have made a fortune long ago.
"Even investing in real estate can now increase more than ten times.
"Later, I worked steadily for several years. At the beginning of the new millennium, ten years ago, I saw some people making money easily by opening an Internet cafe. They just bought dozens of computers and the rest was to collect money every day. Money.
"So after I resigned, I partnered with others to open the largest Internet cafe in Chuzhou, with a total of 120 machines.
"In the end, I was tricked. My partner only paid one-third of the money to buy the machine, and he ran away with the balance. In the end, I sold the Internet cafe and paid a compensation of 180,000 yuan."
"The subsequent several entrepreneurial ventures still ended in failure. To be honest, if my old man's restaurant hadn't been doing well and kept subsidizing me, I would have been ruined long ago."
Shen Yu wanted to laugh but couldn't. He thought that this old man and his father definitely had something in common when they got together. They couldn't do anything, but they still thought they could. If you don't pay, who will pay?
However, this kind of person has a real personality and is the best person to be friends with, because he doesn’t have the brains to trick you.
She looked at her watch and saw that it had been ten minutes since Pei Yuqin left. Why hasn't she come back yet? She wouldn't have made a phone call outside the hospital, would she?
Thinking of this, Shen Yu walked out quickly. As soon as he went out, he saw Pei Yuqin standing under a peach tree, sobbing slightly.
Shen Yu hurriedly approached, "Sister Qin, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
Pei Yuqin raised her head, her beautiful eyes were slightly red and swollen, and there were still tears in her eyes, "The store owner said that I was crazy to buy an unknown painting for 700,000 yuan. He obviously wanted to cheat her money by collaborating with others, and He said a lot of unpleasant things about me."
When Shen Yu heard this, he immediately got angry, "What nonsense does your shop owner think? Does she like to buy such a good painting? Well, she can't buy this painting now even if she wants to. Let me tell Brother Chen that his painting I want "Picture of Fish Playing in Water"!"
