The little fat man scratched his hair with his hands in distress. Today is not the planned economy more than ten years ago. In this era when the market is king, he has never thought that he is still worried about having nothing to sell.
Throwing the small book aside, Xie Xuan looked at Qin Feng and said, "Brother Feng, Hetian Jade is your purchase channel. Can you turn over a batch of goods first?"
"I didn't expect business to be so good?"
Qin Feng shook his head and said: "I am looking for a merchant from Jintian in the past. It is second-hand. Not to mention that we will suffer from the price difference. That merchant probably does not have such a large quantity..."
Qin Feng pondered for a moment and said: "If you want to purchase goods, it is best to contact Xinjiang Province directly. We can buy raw stone materials for processing, which can also ensure the quality of the jade..."
There are many people who make a living by buying and selling jade, but when broken down, there are only three types. One is those who deal in rough jade. They only sell mined and unprocessed stones, and they are not called rough stone merchants.
The second type is the carving process, which can also be called craftsmen. They deal with jade every day, but they are not involved in the sale of jade. They just make money from their crafts.
As for the third type of people, they are terminal sellers like Qin Feng who open stores. This link is directly facing customers and the profit is the largest among the three links.
But similarly, terminal sellers are also subject to the most restrictions. Whether it is changes in the price of rough stones or the scarcity of hand-carved craftsmen, it will have a great impact on sellers.
Between the second and third links, there is also a group of wholesalers. They buy raw stones and process them into jewelry, and then wholesale them directly to shops selling jade, earning some price difference from them.
Generally, jade merchants with some strength would not consider taking the wholesaler route. That is to say, Qin Feng's opening time was too tight, so he took a batch of goods from them.
Now Qin Feng just wants to get rid of this intermediate link and directly buy jade from Xinjiang Province, and then find a jade factory with exquisite craftsmanship to cooperate with him to provide supply for his "Zhen Jade Workshop" and fundamentally solve the problem.
"Brother Feng, we have nothing to do in Xinjiang Province. I heard that the jade veins there are very monopolized."
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Xie Xuan frowned, suddenly his eyes lit up, and said: "By the way, the boss Sun who came here today seems to have a lot of connections in Xinjiang Province, how about...
Do you want him to pull a string?"
In the 1990s, when doing business, it was still a matter of personal relationships. The price you would get from someone who introduced you to someone would definitely be different from the price you would get if you came to your door.
"The one named Sun? It would be nice if he didn't slander me behind his back.
Qin Feng curled his lips when he heard this. As the saying goes, peers are enemies. The sales of Qin Feng's "True Jade Shop" are so hot today, I'm afraid the bosses who deal in jade have long been jealous.
"Then what should we do? A living person can still be choked to death by peeing?"
The little fat man rolled his eyes, showed a fierce look, and cursed fiercely: "Damn it, how about asking Brother Yuanzi to bring a few people to scare them?"
"Stop thinking about it."
Qin Feng slapped Xie Xuan on the head and said: "There are rules in the industry. Doing business and trying to squeeze people is your skill. If you dare to use other methods, sooner or later you will be ostracized by your colleagues and excluded from this circle."
I just had a long talk with Qi Gong today. Qin Feng also decided to run "Zhen Yufang" as a serious business. Naturally, he would not allow Xie Xuan to make random guesses.
"Brother Feng, are you going to watch us sell out?"
Although Xie Xuan is smart, "Wenbaozhai" back then was just a small shop and didn't even have a waiter. It was incomparable with the current "Zhenyufang".
"Xuanzi, don't worry, there is always a way to solve things. Our goods can last for another month..."
Qin Feng rubbed his chin and thought for a while and said: "Increase the price of those goods by another 20% and see how the sales are in the past few days. In addition, I will find Lao Feng and Lao Zhu. Their families are engaged in antique trading.
Xinjiang Province might have something to do with it..."
Qin Feng had asked Feng Yongkang and Zhu Kai before. One of their families was engaged in calligraphy, painting, ceramics, and the other was engaged in bronzes and miscellaneous items. They had little to do with jade.
But the antique business is the same. If you don't do this business, it may not be a problem. In any case, Feng Yongkang and Zhu Kai are both shareholders of "Zhen Yufang". If they encounter difficulties now, they can't stay away, right?
If both of them had no connections, Qin Feng planned to find Wei Hua. With Wei Hua's connections in the business and political circles, he believed that he would definitely be able to find connections in Xinjiang Province.
Qin Feng thought for a while and then said: "Xuanzi, you should pay more attention these days and choose one of those salesmen to be the store manager. From now on, you, the shopkeeper, will have to run around and can't always stay in the store.
"
"Zhen Yufang" is different from other antique stores. It only sells but does not accept, so there is nothing that requires the attention of the boss Xie Xuan. His main focus of work during this period is to organize the supply of goods.
"Brother Feng, I understand..."
Xie Xuan nodded. In fact, he had already fallen in love with the most beautiful girl in the store, the former store manager of "Ya Zhi Zhai", but he never dared to mention it to Qin Feng.
"By the way, Xuanzi, there is one more thing."!
Qin Feng suddenly remembered something and said: "After I went to graduate school with Mr. Qi, I spent less time in school. From now on, I spend most of my time here in Sijiu City. You are looking for a courtyard house nearby. When the time comes,
You can also bring rhubarb here..."
Qin Feng didn't have any problems with the exams in the past few days. After the New Year, he will follow Qi Gong to start the restoration project of cultural relics in the Palace Museum. It will be a bit far to run to Beijing University every day.
In addition, Xie Xuan works in Panjiayuan, so staying in a hotel all day is not an option. It is better to settle down early and buy a house where Li Tianyuan can live there. It is also convenient for the brothers to live together.
"Brother Feng, this is easy to handle. What price do you want to buy it at?"
Xie Xuan nodded. He had wanted to buy a house for a long time. Although it was convenient to stay in a hotel, the place was too small and it felt a bit depressing to stay there every day.
"Pick a bigger one to buy..."
Qin Feng smiled and said: "Xuanzi, haven't you seen that now that the old city is being renovated, a lot of courtyard houses have been ripped off, and the value will definitely increase in the future. It's a good idea to buy it now."
"Okay, Brother Feng, I'll go do this tomorrow. It's cheaper to buy a house before the end of the year."
In the Chinese people's concept, having a house means you have a family. They have been renting a house since arriving in Beijing from Jintian. Xie Xuan and others all feel like they are wandering. Now that they heard that Qin Feng wanted to buy a house, he was more excited than "
Zhen Yufang》Business is booming today and I’m even more excited.
"Okay, let's go to bed early. Let's see how the store's business is tomorrow?" Qin Feng drank a lot today, and now he was so drunk that he couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep without even taking a shower.
go.
The situation was better than Qin Feng expected. Although the next day was Monday, there were no stalls in Panjiayuan, and the flow of people was much smaller, the sales of "Zhen Yufang" for the whole day were still as high as one million.
This is because yesterday's promotion of "True Jade Square", which paid ten for every fake one and could be repurchased, had an effect. Some jade collectors in the capital came to spend money and bought a lot of the fine products in the store.
However, on the third day, the store's business dropped a lot. The sales volume in one day was only more than 200,000. In the following days, this number was maintained.
But on Saturday, with the opening of the market stall, the business of "Zhen Jade Square" suddenly became booming again. On Saturday, it sold six million jade items in one day, and on Sunday, it sold seven million jade items.
Ten thousand.
Calculated in this way, in the eight days since the opening of "Zhen Yufang", the sales volume was as high as 20 million, of which the net profit, after excluding costs and various expenses, was 12 million.
After this number was calculated, Qin Feng and Xie Xuan almost stayed up all night. They never thought that the store that was regarded as useless in Fang Yazhi's eyes would actually become a cornucopia in their hands.
When the second Monday came, Qin Feng gathered Li Ran and others. Zhu Kai, who had already bought a train ticket and was about to go home for the New Year, was also stopped by Qin Feng, who was about to convene a shareholders' meeting.
The small living room on the second floor of "True Jade House" was full of people. Except for Wei Hanfei who went to Vienna to attend a concert, all the shareholders of "True Jade House" were present.
"Qin Feng, what's going on? I'm busy during the Chinese New Year."
Li Ran glared at Qin Feng with an unhappy expression. Although he was not highly valued in the family, he still had to travel among various aristocratic families to visit some less important relationships on behalf of his elders. He was too busy to spend time with his girlfriend.
All gone.
"That's right, Qin Feng, Spring Festival travel, the train ticket that my brother finally bought with great difficulty is just like this?"
Zhu Kai looked like he was in agony. Ever since he asked his family for more than 200,000 yuan to invest in "True Jade House", Zhu Kai's living standard had plummeted.
According to what his Shanxi Laocai father said, since his son has invested in the business, his family will no longer provide living expenses and pocket money. As a result, Zhu Kai waited in line all night to buy a train ticket home, and it was
Standing ticket.
"Boss Zhu, isn't it just a train ticket?" Xie Xuan disapproved of Zhu Kai's stinginess and said with a smile: "After today's meeting, you can take a flight back."
"What a piece of shit, boss..." Zhu Kai glared, and then sighed: "Brother, my pocket is cleaner than my face now, and I only have a few damn pieces of steel left."
"Lao Zhu, Xuanzi is right. I came to you today for two reasons."
Qin Feng took Zhu Kai's words and said: "The first thing is that we need your help to expand the supply of goods. This is a matter of life and death for our Zhenyufang."
Zhu Kai was thinking about how to get home at this moment. Before Qin Feng finished speaking, he quickly asked: "What about the second item? Is it related to my plane ticket?"
Qin Feng nodded and said: "Lao Zhu, that's the right answer. The second thing is to pay dividends!"
"Dividends? How long has it been open for?" As soon as Qin Feng finished speaking, the brothers suddenly looked at each other.
