After all the outsiders left, Hua Mingming couldn't help but ask, because more than a week had passed and he found that Fang Ming had no plans to open a business.
"Isn't this considered opening for business?" Fang Ming replied.
"That's different. When opening a store, you are not allowed to ask people to set off some firecrackers at the door to cheer. Especially in our antique street, every store opens in accordance with ancient rules. The timing, etiquette, etc. are all different.
few."
All antiques are sold on the antique street. To put it bluntly, it is an ancient cultural industry. Since it is a cultural industry, it is natural to follow ancient procedures. There are all kinds of celebration activities such as lion dance for the opening.
"I know a good lion dance team. I can introduce it to you when the time comes and guarantee the price is fair." Hua Mingming said, patting his chest.
"I have no plans to do the opening ceremony you mentioned."
Fang Ming shook his head and rejected Hua Mingming's suggestion. He had no plans to hold the opening ceremony. The reason was very simple. The business he was doing did not need to be publicized. In this era, some things still cannot be openly stated.
"I think the opening ceremony still needs to be done."
At this moment, Hua Borong's voice came from the door. After sending Liu Zhenguo to the street entrance to get on the bus, he returned and happened to hear Fang Ming's words.
"Uncle Hua?" Fang Ming looked at Hua Borong with some doubts. He didn't believe that Uncle Hua didn't know what kind of business he was opening. Such a business couldn't be overly public.
"Fang Ming, listen to me first." Hua Borong organized his speech and said: "Our antique street is different from other places. For those who do business in the antique street, to be honest, nine out of ten people believe in that aspect.
of."
Hua Borong was telling the truth, especially in the antiques business, so many of the things he came into contact with were different from ordinary people. The antiques circle itself had some mundane rules, so people in the antiques circle believed in ghosts and gods to some extent.
"So, if we hold an opening ceremony, we can let the antique shop owners know what Fang Ming's shop does. Even if these shop owners have not encountered this kind of thing themselves, they will still know the people in the circles they are in contact with.
If you have some friends, they can help you attract customers."
"After all, your business cannot be promoted through formal channels. It can only rely on word of mouth and word of mouth, so I think this opening ceremony is very necessary."
Fang Ming fell into deep thought. He had to admit that what Uncle Hua said was an issue that he had not considered before. Yes, he needed customers to open this shop, and this customer source could not be advertised by himself, so he just
It can be passed down by word of mouth from people who know it.
"I will think about it, but this way there will be a lot more things to prepare." Fang Ming replied.
"Actually, there is no need for any preparation. I am familiar with opening a business, and I also know a company that specializes in this. When the time comes, I will just let the professionals handle it."
In today's society, there are not only shops but also companies. Hundreds of companies close and hundreds of companies open every day in the entire Magic City. This kind of company specializing in planning opening activities has also emerged. As long as you give money, you can do anything.
It can be done.
"Okay, let's hold an opening ceremony then. As for the date, let's set it in seven days."
Fang Ming pondered for a moment. If he wanted to hold an opening ceremony, he would have to show some real skills, at least to make the people who came in believe him and be willing to give him word-of-mouth publicity.
"Seven days later, it will be considered an auspicious day."
Hua Borong nodded. He believed that Fang Ming was more professional than him on this point, and the day he chose would naturally be a good one.
"But there is another question right now. What do you plan to name this store?" Hua Borong asked. Since the store owner has been changed and the opening ceremony has been reorganized, it is natural that the store name must be changed.
"Name?" Fang Ming looked at Dazhu, "Dazhu, do you have any good suggestions?"
"I don't have any suggestions. I haven't read many books. It's up to you to choose the name of the store." Dazhu waved his hands quickly. He didn't even graduate from junior high school. Ask him to name it. Besides knowing how to name a store that benefits people,
I can't think of anything other than a name like Ping An Store that can be seen everywhere.
Fang Ming pondered for a moment, then looked at Hua Borong, his son, and Dazhu and said, "Then let's call it Wu Daoguan."
Witchcraft is his inheritance; Tao is the nurturing grace of the master.
"Witch gym?"
The three of them, Hua Borong and Hua Borong, were all reciting the name, but they didn't understand why Fang Ming chose such an incomprehensible store name?
However, since the name of this store was chosen by Fang Ming, Hua Borong and Dazhu naturally would not have any objections. As for Hua Mingming, even if he did have objections, he knew that what he said was of no use, so it was better not to speak.
The name of the store was just decided, and the next step was to find someone to customize a plaque with the name of the store. However, Hua Borong took it all in hand and said that the plaque would be handed over to him. This can be regarded as his uncle Fang Ming.
A support for opening.
When things were almost settled, Hua Borong and Hua Mingming left. After all, Huabao Building, as the largest store in Antique Street, had a lot of customers, and some old customers needed them to receive them in person, so they didn't stay long.
"Dazhu, have you found a place to live?"
Fang Ming looked at Dazhu. In the past few days, he had asked Dazhu to look for a new place to live. He would definitely not live in Chuansha because it was a bit far away from here, and the environment there was not suitable for him to practice at night.
"I found three houses. One has two bedrooms, one bathroom, and one bathroom, and the rent is 6,000 a month. The other has one bedroom, one bathroom, and one bathroom and only costs 2,000. In fact, Fang Ming, we can rent the one at the back. I will lay a mat in the lobby.
That’s fine, the weather isn’t cold either.”
Dazhu was thinking about saving money, but Fang Ming shook his head, "Don't forget there is Lao Huang. If the space is small and inconvenient, let's go take a look together when we are free in the afternoon."
"Okay, I'll contact the landlord right away."
Dazhu took out his mobile phone. Fang Ming felt helpless after hearing his words. Dazhu is a typical man who saves money. Normal people rent a house through an agency. Once the agency has many houses, he can quickly choose the right one.
secondly, if there is an intermediary, all aspects of the contract for the house will be guaranteed.
But there is also a disadvantage of using an intermediary, that is, the intermediary will charge an additional month's rent as a service fee. This month's rent is naturally borne by the tenant, and the landlord also has to pay a certain fee to the intermediary.
Therefore, in order to save money, some landlords will also post rental information online, and Dazhu is specifically looking for this kind of house and calling to inquire. Of course, Fang Ming taught him how to search for rental information online, otherwise
Considering that Dazhu's mobile phone is only used for making calls, he really doesn't know how to search for houses online. Even VX was taught to him by his sister.
Of course, Fang Ming lags behind Dazhu because he doesn't have VX.
When renting a house, Fang Ming's first requirement is to be as close to the antique street as possible, and secondly, it is best to have some park nearby because it is convenient for Lao Huang to go out for a walk. So after half an hour, Fang Ming and Dazhu came to a building next to the house.
In front of the community building facing the park.
At the gate of the community, a middle-aged woman was already waiting there. When she saw how Dazhu and Fang Ming were dressed, the smile on her face disappeared and she asked somewhat disappointedly: "Are you two going to rent my house?"
"Yes, you are Sister Zhang, can you take us over to see the house first?" Dazhu said with a smile.
"My house costs 6,000 yuan a month, and the water, electricity, internet and property fees are another 1,000 yuan. Are you sure you want to open a house?"
"Sister Zhang, why do you still have these expenses? You didn't mention it on the phone at the beginning." Dazhu was anxious, one thousand yuan. The iron shed house he rented there only cost more than three hundred yuan a month.
"This is how renting a house in a community is. Have you ever rented a house in a community?"
The middle-aged woman looked at Dazhu with disdain. Because she had been busy cleaning the dust in the store these days, Dazhu was still wearing her old work clothes, giving the impression that she was engaged in labor work.
"Just because you haven't rented a community before doesn't mean you can't rent it. It's better to take us to see the apartment first."
Fang Ming stopped Dazhu and continued speaking. Dazhu didn't notice it, but he already noticed that the elder sister Zhang in front of him felt that he couldn't afford such a house, so he spoke in a weird tone.
Zhang Sufang's eyes were hesitant. Just as Fang Ming said, she saw Dazhu's appearance and had no intention of renting a house. Firstly, she felt that Fang Ming and the others could not afford such an expensive rent. Secondly, she also doubted Fang Ming.
They rent the house for other purposes.
After all, Dazhu looks like the kind of person whose monthly salary is no more than three or four thousand. How can such a person be willing to spend six or seven thousand a month to rent a house? There must be something fishy in this, and maybe he is not doing well in renting her house.
things.
Some time ago, there were news reports about people renting houses to manufacture and sell drugs, and some even engaged in prostitution in rented houses.
"It's okay to look at the house, but I tell you not to touch the things inside. Besides, there are surveillance cameras everywhere in the community."
Fang Ming smiled, who did this elder sister think he and Dazhu were? Did she think that she and Dazhu were robbing and kidnapping under the pretext of renting a house?
Zhang Sufang was leading the way. Her house was on the ninth floor of the community. The entire unit building had a total height of sixteen floors, and her house was on the twelfth floor.
Entering the room, Fang Ming's eyes lit up. He had to say that the house costing 6,000 yuan a month was worth the money. It was fully equipped with household appliances and furniture. The most important thing was that the lighting effect of this house was very good, and the balcony area
Towards the park.
"This house is okay."
Fang Ming nodded in affirmation and was about to talk to Zhang Sufang about the specific renting matter, but at this time, another young man and woman walked out of the elevator and walked toward the room.
"Is this house for rent? Are you the landlord?"
The man was in his forties with a big belly, and the person holding his wrist was a young woman in her twenties with a good figure. The middle-aged man glanced at Fang Ming and Dazhu and then directly looked at Zhang Sufen who was aside.
asked.
