"Uncle Chen, what do you think of the front room opposite?"
In the teahouse, Xia Shao and Chen Manguan were sitting in front of each other, ordering a pot of Biluochun. The girl lowered her eyes and looked at the clear and bright soup, took a sip, relaxed her eyebrows, and smiled. shu mark 玷癞癹
The antique street of Dongshi is in the back street. This street was invested and built by Dongshi three years ago. It has been neglected in the past few years. Since the end of this year's auction, the antique boom has come. This street It has also become an antique street, with teahouses and other leisure places, and it is no less lively than the street behind it.
Xia Shao chose this place mainly because there were no good locations for shops on the street behind, but there was a nice empty shop in the middle of this street.
Chen Manguan had no objection, "This street is not bad. In our industry, we pay attention to the supply of goods and connections. It is very close to the street behind, so it won't hinder anything. The main reason is that investment is now being introduced. Driven by it, this street has grown rapidly. It will prosper, and now is a good time to buy a shop.”
Xia Shao nodded, "Uncle Chen, let's see how much start-up capital is appropriate?"
Chen Manguan pondered, "There must be a few good items in the store. I know the ropes in this area. It would cost at least five million to open a decent store."
Xia Shao smiled and said, "Okay. I still have about a hundred items there. Come back and follow me to take a look and take them to the store."
Chen Manguan was stunned and didn't say anything for a long time, just staring at Xia Shao.
"Keep it with my master. You can come with me to see it another day."
"You, you still have it?" Chen Manguan was shocked, feeling like he was about to have a heart attack, "Picked it up, picked it up by mistake?"
Xia Shao smiled and said nothing, lowered her eyes and drank tea, which was regarded as acquiescence. Looking up, she saw Chen Manguan covering his heart, and she smiled again, "Not everything is popular, some are unpopular."
Unpopular encounters with collectors are also valuable. In the antique business, it depends on whether you can meet someone you like. If you meet someone who likes it, even the less popular ones are willing to pay high prices.
"I understand. Buy the store first, and then I'll go look at the items with you."
"Well, I usually have to ask Uncle Chen to help me run the store, so I count your 20% share. Also, I'm not old enough to register a company, but I can invest in it as a shareholder. The company will be in your name first. We sign the contract, and you can transfer it to me next year."
Twenty percent of the shares is already very high. For today's Chen Manguan, he will not refuse even if it is 1%. He might have looked down upon 20% of a store's shares in the past, but now, he has a hunch that the girl in front of him will never achieve success in this store. You know, she will not be able to achieve this this year. Only fifteen years old.
Thinking about it, Chen Manguan asked his question, "Why is Miss Xia willing to believe me? In my name, the company is not afraid that I will not return it to you next year and take it for myself?"
Xia Shao glanced at him, drank tea with a smile, then looked outside and asked something unexpected: "Uncle Chen, look at the street below. It has the potential to gather traffic. From the perspective of Feng Shui, this place is bound to be prosperous, so I chose the store it's here."
Chen Manguan nodded blankly.
Xia Shao smiled and turned to look at him, "Feng shui is not static. In my eyes, there are too many ways to turn this street into a money-dispersing situation. However, the masters have rules and don't act recklessly." Bullying ordinary people. But it doesn’t mean that if someone bullies me, I have to endure it. In this world, I don’t think anyone wants to be an enemy of a Feng Shui master, don’t you think?”
Chen Manguan showed a surprised but horrified expression.
Xia Shao suppressed her smile and said sternly: "However, there is a way to do business, and each line has its own rules. I try not to use these. After all, it is unfair to others. We are partners, and I hope we can trust each other."
Chen Manguan looked at Xia Shao blankly, then smiled bitterly. Yes, there is mutual trust. Just now she told herself that there are still about a hundred pieces in the collection, isn't it a kind of trust
Thinking of this, Chen Manguan also became serious, "Miss Xia, don't worry, I, Old Chen, have gone through all the ups and downs, and I have seen through many things. After all, I am still a person who repays kindness. Just leave it to me!" "
Xia Shao smiled and nodded, and the matter was settled.
That afternoon, Chen Manguan bought the store opposite and spread the word about his comeback.
The auction in the East Market had just ended, and the TV and newspapers were full of reports about the grand auction, which immediately set off a craze for antique collecting. Taking advantage of this craze, Chen Manguan announced that he was about to make a comeback, which really caused quite a stir in the antique world of Dongshi.
Many people didn't believe it and came to see it secretly. They saw that Chen Manguan had actually bought a large store and was busy decorating it. On the day of the auction, the news that he was sitting with Li Boyuan, the chairman of Hong Kong Jiahui Group, was leaked by someone unknown. For a while, the news that Chen Manguan was really going to make a comeback shocked many people.
Those business friends from the past all came forward one after another, congratulating each other and asking whether they had a relationship with Li Boyuan in Hong Kong. You know, Hong Kong has just returned to China these days, and the popularity of collecting in Hong Kong and Macao is even higher than in the mainland. The rich people over there also have a lot of money.
Chen Manguan is considered a veteran in the shopping mall. He did not show disgust at the appearance of these friends. Instead, he welcomed them warmly. It was like there was no such thing as when he was down and out, and everyone avoided him. However, he was very cautious about his relationship with Hong Kong. Tai Chi was fooled and did not get any benefit from these people.
During the busy break, Chen Manguan and Xia Shao went back to the mountains of Shili Village and looked at the objects in the house in Tang Zongbo's backyard. They immediately shocked him. The sight of authentic products made him almost worship Xia Shao's eyesight, and he has been convinced by her ever since!
A month later, Fu Ruixiang Antique Shop opened.
On that day, Li Boyuan came to cut the ribbon in person, and Liu Jingquan, the deputy mayor of Dongshi, was also present. Friends from Chen Manguan's heyday were also present, and some leading figures and old collectors from the Dongshi Antiques Chamber of Commerce were also invited. When everyone saw Li Boyuan coming in person, they no longer had any doubts about Chen Manguan's comeback, but instead had thoughts of making friends.
When Li Boyuan was cutting the ribbon, he sold another favor to Xia Shao. In front of everyone, Chen Manguan smiled and said: "Brother Chen, you have to keep that large Yuan blue and white plate in your store. I will definitely hold it at the auction next year." Can’t be photographed!”
One sentence stirred up a thousand waves, and the news that Fu Ruixiang had Yuan Qinghua immediately aroused a shock in the antique world of Dongshi. Many old men immediately rushed into the store to open their eyes.
Those who are interested may recall that Zhao Mingjun was suspected of having lost a Yuan Qinghua in the antique market. Chen Manguan took Li Boyuan to discover it at that time, but he did not want to sell it to a student by mistake. Thinking about it now, this blue and white market is in Chen Manguan's hands again. He must have used some method to find the student and deceive him from it. Only then did he gain a relationship with Mr. Li and get the chance to make a comeback. .
Some are jealous, some are emotional, some are regretful, and some are sour, but no matter what, Chen Manguan has returned to the Dongshi antique world.
On the opening day, because of Li Boyuan's arrival and his words, Fu Ruixiang Antiques Store became an instant success. Later, with Chen Manguan's many years of experience and connections in this industry, the store's operations quickly took off. On track.
On the opening day, Fu Ruixiang's real boss, Miss Xia Shao, did not arrive.
Because she started school.
