Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters money is hard to buy a good heart
Xue Chen sent Han Shiying and Sister Tao into a car, a black BMW X5. Compared to Han Shiying's current worth, it was still very low-key.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Sister Tao waited for the car to start and said, "It seems that Xue Chen's circle of friends in Beijing is much wider than we thought."
She had just seen the words Rong Yi on the flower basket, which really surprised her. What was the identity of the other party? He was a general who had participated in the counterattack against Vietnam. He was a high-ranking figure. Although he was not present in person, it was already very important to send a flower basket.
It's amazing.
She had also met Rong Tianfeng from a distance. Through some side information, she knew that this man was a very powerful, capable and skillful, but also arrogant person. He was not very old, but he was already at the level of Deputy Director of Real Power, and he could still be better in the future.
Yes? But he actually brought the flower basket in person, which is very unusual.
Han Shiying did not answer. Unlike Sister Tao, she had seen Xue Chen being extraordinary, but he had super powers that ordinary people could not imagine. It was precisely because of this that no matter how incredible it happened to him,
She can also accept it.
Looking at Sister Tao who was amazed, she smiled and said, "He is different from ordinary people."
"What do you mean?" Sister Tao asked.
But Han Shiying didn't say anything else. She promised Xue Chen that she would never want anyone to say anything. Although she wanted to share with Sister Tao what she was pretending to be in her heart, she still held back. She didn't want to break her promise to others, especially
Xue Chen.
After watching Han Shiying and Sister Tao get into the car and drive away, Xue Chen also turned around and walked back to the store and arrived at the second floor. As soon as he went upstairs, many eyes stared at him with scrutinizing eyes.
, get to know this new neighbor.
The vice-president of the Capital Antiques Association also arrived. He was sitting by the window. He had a slightly similar expression on his face. He thought about it and said, "Xue Chen, just now I saw two men coming to deliver flower baskets.
One of them looks familiar to me, is he from the Rong family?"
"President Yu has really good eyesight. Well, he is from the Rong family." Xue Chen simply replied.
With Xue Chen's confirmation, Yu Deshui was sure that the person just now was Rong Tianfeng. He was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that Xue Chen and the Rong family were still related. He couldn't help but ask: "You and the Rong family
?”
More people here looked at Xue Chen, the Rong family? Which Rong family? There are not many famous Rong families in the capital.
"It doesn't have much to do with it. I just had some dealings." Xue Chen didn't say much, and he didn't want to say much, although he knew very well that if he could get involved with the Rong family, it would definitely be easier to live happily in the capital.
, maybe there will be fewer twists and turns in whatever you do.
But he doesn't have the habit of putting gold on his face. The relationship is whatever it is. He and the Rong family are indeed not very familiar. There is no need to use the tiger's skin as a banner. It's boring and he doesn't need it.
"Haha, you can't say that. I'm not familiar with it. Can you send Rong Tianfeng to deliver the flower basket?" Yu Deshui smiled and pointed out the Rong family he was talking about.
Sure enough, the eyes of many people here changed when they looked at Xue Chen.
Xue Chen didn't want to dwell on this matter. Seeing that the tea had been drunk, a lot of dried fruits had been eaten, and it was getting late, he invited the guests to go to the Jianguo Hotel, where a large box had already been booked.
In the afternoon, Xue Chen and Li Lingchun, as hosts, saw off all the guests.
"Xue Chen, we're leaving too. If you need anything, just let me know. I'll come back to play with you another day. I guess you'll be quite busy these days since the opening." After saying that, Gao Dewei and Jing Yunxing also left together.
When only Xue Chen, Li Lingchun and the two waiters were left in the store, things finally calmed down.
Even Xue Chen felt a little tired. It was really not an easy task to welcome and send guests off. They had to say a few healing words and take care of the guests. Otherwise, it would be a loss of etiquette, and the cheeks were a little sore.
As the shopkeeper, Li Lingchun was even more busy, and because of his age, he looked very tired. He sat on the sofa and closed his eyes slightly to catch his breath.
"Uncle Li, you are really tired today. I think we should close the door early today. It's getting late anyway." Xue Chen said.
"It doesn't matter, just take a break. You can't close the door early. There is no reason to close the door early on the first day of business. If a customer comes and sees that the store is closed, he or she may not know what to think. It's also unlucky.
If you have anything to do, go ahead, I'll be watching over here, no problem." Li Lingchun opened his eyes and said.
Xue Chen nodded: "I believe in Uncle Li's ability, so I'll go back first. If you need anything, call me. Anyway, the distance is not far, I can be there in ten minutes."
He went downstairs and spoke to the two waiters before he walked out of the store. Because Liulichang Ancient Culture Street was a pedestrian street, he walked for a while before arriving at the parking lot. He couldn't help but murmur in his heart, "Jingjia Liu"
It's not far from here in the first place, a ten-minute drive, but it takes ten minutes to park back and forth every day. It's better to just walk, which only takes thirty minutes at most. A quick two-step walk might be about the same time as driving.
Xue Chen thought so and did so. On the second day after the opening, he put the Lamborghini in the garage and walked to the store. Du Tao shook his head and said he had a brain disease.
I don’t drive a million-dollar sports car, I just walk to work, and I say this is a new level of pretentiousness, I admire you.
He was too lazy to talk to Du Tao. He walked to the shops for three days in a row, which was quite easy.
It has been three days since its opening, and the store has done dozens of transactions. This makes him have to say that Liulichang is really a Feng Shui treasure place for opening an antique store. In other cities, it is impossible to have such a large transaction volume.
, only Liulichang has enough customers to support such a large transaction volume.
Among the dozens of transactions, most of them were tourists buying some imitations to take back as souvenirs, which was a small transaction worth two to three thousand yuan, which was considered a small deal.
However, there were also three big sales, all worth millions. They were the sale of three antiques he brought from Haicheng, a three-color double-eared deer head statue from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and a pastel blue and green statue from the Guangxu period.
There is also a piece of white jade cicada from the late Tang Dynasty, which can be held in the palm of your hand. It is a very delicate gadget.
All three pieces were sold at a very high price, and together they just exceeded the 10 million yuan mark.
Regarding the transaction of these three artifacts, Li Lingchun asked Xue Chen's opinion, but he did not interfere. Instead, he let Li Lingchun make his own decision. If the price is right, he would sell it. His idea was very simple, just take a look at Li Lingchun's price.
How are you handling it?
And Li Lingchun also understood what Xue Chen was thinking. This was just for the boss to see his real ability. Welcoming him and sending him off was nothing. Only a qualified shopkeeper could make money for the boss.
Finally, Li Lingchun gave Xue Chen a satisfactory answer.
The price of antiques can be said to have a certain standard. For example, if you take out a piece of blue and white porcelain from the Kangxi official kiln, any expert will probably know its estimated value and have a steelyard in mind.
But there is another saying that it is difficult to buy what you like with money. If someone is interested in something and insists on buying it, then the price of this thing cannot be based on the market price. It must be much higher.
Less.
What an antique store sells is "favourites". Since a buyer comes to buy this item, he must like it. Then as a shopkeeper, he must know the highest price the buyer can give and where the limit is. Naturally, the closer the price is, the closer the price is.
limit, the higher the profit.
And Li Lingchun is considered experienced, especially after experiencing a series of changes, his mentality has become more calm, and he has become more experienced in making transactions. The asking price is accurate and cruel, making the buyer feel painful.
Not enough to give up.
When Xue Chen saw these three transactions, he nodded secretly, feeling very good. Even if it were him, it wouldn't be much better than this.
If it's your turn to manipulate people's hearts, if you know the bottom line of a person's bid, can anyone surpass him? With the ability to read minds, this cheating device can make the buyer vomit three liters of blood.
He was present when Yu Chan was bought and sold. After hinting at it, he took the opportunity to peek at the buyer's bottom line, which was 3.5 million. The price Li Lingchun finally negotiated was 3.2 million, which was only 3 million yuan away from the limit.
One hundred thousand, it can be said to be really good.
He was completely relieved and extremely satisfied with Li Lingchun. He thought that he had found a treasure. He found such an impeccable shopkeeper for the new store without any effort.
And Li Lingchun also adapted to his new identity, especially after completing three big businesses and earning 10 million yuan. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This was absolutely impossible when he was the boss of Haoqizhai. The total turnover in a year
It's less than 20 million, and the profit is just enough to pay the rent.
But now, less than a week after opening, it has a turnover of more than 10 million. Moreover, it has deliberately tightened the price and will not let go until the price is determined. Otherwise, it will only go higher.
What do you mean? Let’s just say that the jade cicada is relatively rare, and its price is also difficult to determine. Two million is for it, and three million is for it. If the asking price is two million, it will naturally be easier to sell, and there is no need to compete with it.
The customer may be gullible, and the customer may even give up the idea of selling, but it doesn't matter, you can wait slowly, and sooner or later you will meet someone who is right and willing to pay a high price.
This is called opening for three years. As long as you make a big "sale", although the number of transactions will be small, the profit from one transaction may be the total profit from ten transactions.
This was also Xue Chen's request. This batch brought more than 30 antiques, which seemed like a lot, but they couldn't be sold casually. They had to sell for a maximum price, otherwise they would not sell them.
Although this batch of antiques has no cost, Xue Chen cannot allow them to be sold casually in order to create turnover. After all, one item is sold for one item, and antiques cannot be sold with small profits but quick turnover.
The buyers of these three transactions are all from the capital, and they are all well-known collectors. Naturally, the transaction is no secret. I learned that Zhuo Zhuo Antique Store has only opened for a few days, and it has already made three good transactions. Many
The old shops in Liulichang are more or less jealous. (To be continued)
