Hong Yanwu came to Taiyuan and signed a million-dollar deal in just three days.
This seems a bit hasty.
Besides, he didn't even say a word to the factory.
I made the decision myself and asked "The Fairy Tale King" to place advertisements for "Polar Bear" products.
This seems silly again.
But all this is just some people’s self-righteous opinions.
Because as Hong Yanwu himself, he doesn't care at all whether something is rash or not, whether something is silly or not.
Is he an ordinary person?
One million is a great number to others, but to him, it is nothing.
Once this money is spent, he will no longer be able to rest assured.
Anyway, since Pipilu and Lu Xixi fell into the pocket, he knew it was definitely worth the money, so that was fine.
As for how much economic benefit the things he buys will produce in the future.
He has no plans to put it into operation in the short term, and he is too lazy to think about it.
Same reason.
Hong Yanwu and "The Fairy Tale King" wanted advertising space, but he did not have any suitable related products available.
Since "Polar Bear" has this demand, and the product fits the style of the magazine, let's get on board first and then talk about it.
As for the cost issue, the manufacturer can pay as much as they are willing to pay, which is even more casual.
Hong Yanwu had already developed feelings for "Polar Bear" unknowingly, since it was a favor without any expense.
So the factory gave him a job, a professional title, dignity and a wife.
Even a purely voluntary contribution is no big deal.
What's more, Shui Qing is destined to be a member of the "Polar Bear" leadership team in the future.
Just to show off to your wife, you can’t care about such a big deal, right?
And the most important point is that what Hong Yanwu wants is a quick victory.
Because to be honest, his time in Taiyuan was limited and he would have to go back after less than a month.
Signing a contract with Zheng Yuanjie was just one of the purposes of his trip.
And it’s still not that important, it’s the kind of thing you do when you’re raking grass and hunting rabbits.
His real plan was to shovel the land for another big project.
The so-called "shoveling the ground" is a common saying in the antique shop.
It specifically refers to the behavior of hawkers going to the countryside and going from village to house to collect second-hand goods and "pick up leaks".
In contrast, dealers who walk around the city to collect second-hand goods should be called "drinking street" people.
These are the things that Hong Yanwu asked "Chopper" and "Sanbengzi" to lead people to do in the past.
Logically speaking, these two types of dealers each have their own territory, and they are in harmony with each other.
But the problem is that Hong Yanwu came here this time with the idea of eating everything he could from the city and the countryside.
Moreover, he also transferred "Chop Knife", "Three Bouncers" and half of the self-employed people who were "positioning" opposite the zoo.
It even directly brought two million in cash.
It is so fierce that we need to curb the posture of antique calligraphy and painting in a big way.
In other words, the word "shoveling the ground" is used to describe it, which is powerful and appropriate enough.
As for why he chose Taiyuan, the reason is very simple.
To collect something, of course you have to go to a place where there is a lot of it.
Places with many antiques are either near imperial mausoleums or ancient tombs, or in ancient capitals like Luoyang and Xi'an.
You know, because of its geographical location, second-hand dealers in Beijing mainly focus on Hebei and Henan.
This is a straight road going down, and you can connect two provinces in one run.
It will be very convenient to sell it to Beijing and Tianjin after returning home.
Naturally, the things in these two places have already been touched by others.
Also because the market in Beijing is good, the number of people doing this gradually increases, and the prices of things go up a lot.
Hong Yanwu understood this situation and felt that the people in these two provinces must have become smarter. Naturally, he was unwilling to go to such a place.
Later, when he saw "The King of Fairy Tales", the words "Taiyuan" completely enlightened him.
Because this is not only an ancient capital, but also a gathering place for Shanxi merchants, and its geographical location is relatively close to the capital.
In particular, "Teacher Ma" also said that he often went there to "pick up leaks" in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
It's only the mid-1980s, so it's probably still a virgin land that no one notices.
Is there anything more appropriate than this?
Go! Strike first to gain the upper hand! We must go!
If you can squeeze "Teacher Ma" to the point where he can only go south to receive the goods, that will be called an achievement in life!
Just like that, Hong Yanwu came with evil intentions and a lot of money.
In fact, he did choose the right place.
Shanxi merchants are really amazing!
They have been at the forefront of China's wealth for hundreds of years and have almost monopolized banks and banks. Even Empress Dowager Cixi had to borrow money from them.
Moreover, the vicinity of Taiyuan is the base camp of Shanxi merchants.
There is a local proverb, "Jin Taigu, Yinqi County, Yuci County where there is endless rice, and Pingyao County where small businesses are done."
Although this sentence is somewhat deliberately derogatory, it cannot help but make people in Yuci and Pingyao feel uncomfortable.
But thinking about it on the other hand, it is actually not easy for any realm to appear in this sentence.
And from this sentence, we can know that several counties containing large households are located around Taiyuan.
In particular, I have to mention one more thing, the saying "old men can make money" is really not for nothing.
Rich people in Shanxi especially like to buy real estate.
Not only do they like the house, they also like to collect all kinds of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and the furniture and utensils they use are also extremely luxurious.
There are so many household items left behind by our ancestors from generation to generation.
Even though the Shanxi merchants later declined, Taiyuan became a good place for antique dealers and collectors to pick up antiques.
And also experienced the destruction of the "movement".
In history, it has been literally "washed" several times.
But then again, that’s not the case all over the world.
The key point is that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and Taiyuan has a solid foundation.
No matter what, compared with other places, Taiyuan is still a rich treasure.
To use "Teacher Ma's" words to describe it, you can pick up the treasure just by bending your waist. A big forest is full of mushrooms.
And the most valuable thing is that there are no poisonous mushrooms.
You should know that the manufacturing of modern antique counterfeits began in the mid-1980s, when Shaanxi, Henan and other places began to forge Tang Sancai, pottery and other items.
Now is exactly the critical point of time.
Think about it, how happy Hong Yanwu was when he arrived here!
To be honest, he just arrived and took people off the train to have a meal, and just went shopping casually while looking for a place to stay.
I "snatched" six Daoguang bowls and a pair of Qianlong Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea colorful tea cans from a vendor in a free market.
The price is only eighty yuan.
In order to round up the price, the other party was unwilling to compromise the price and even gave eight "Jiaqing Tongbao" copper coins as a gift.
It’s really much lower than the capital city, almost 20% off.
It can be seen from this that it will undoubtedly be cheaper in the countryside. This is a complete fall into the happy nest.
And there are more unexpected surprises.
Don’t forget, Zheng Yuanjie and Zhao Yanping are locals.
After signing the contract, Hong Yanwu had a "geographical advantage".
As the magazine's future major advertising customer and partner, as a "good guy" who personally gave me a windfall.
Both Zheng Yuanjie and Zhao Yanping tried their best to help Hong Yanwu.
I helped him rent a warehouse, a house, and a car, and even accompanied him around Taiyuan for several days.
I personally took him to the cultural relics shops in Taiyuan and the Banpo Street flea market, the only antique dealer gathering place in Taiyuan at that time.
He even introduced him to friends from the Foreign Trade Bureau.
