All gods, the lord who started with the bright sword

Chapter 138, enough to subvert an industry

"Another [-] antiques were put into storage in half a month, and the speed is too fast."

In the auction house's office, Zhou Hexuan looked at the antique albums that had just been counted into the warehouse, and said in surprise.

Antiques are not Chinese cabbage, nor are they industrial products on the assembly line. They are all unique works of art that have accumulated over time.

There is a saying in the antique industry: if you don’t open for three years, you can eat for three years after opening.

It means that the antique business is a business with few transactions but high profits.

In general antique shops, one or two orders a month is very good.

For example, auction houses that do consignment sales for people hold more than a dozen large and small auctions a year, that is, they sell hundreds of antiques.

But their auction house is good, more than 400 antiques have been sold in half a month, and if they want to sell them at auction, it will take at least a quarter.

Boom, boom, Chen Hao knocked on the door and walked in: "Old Zhou, you are looking for me!"

Seeing Zhou Hexuan's frown after raising his head, he couldn't help asking: "Why do you look frowning, did you encounter any difficulties?"

Seeing Chen Hao who had disappeared for half a month, Zhou Hexuan was very happy anyway, and pointed to the album in his hand: "You have brought too many antiques, and now they have become a trouble to happiness."

"Happiness troubles, how can this become troubles?" Chen Hao lit a cigarette and sat on the sofa, waiting for the other party's next words.

Zhou Hexuan winked at Bai Guoping, the deputy manager who reported to work, and explained the situation in detail after he left.

In short, the antique business is relatively small, and the market is so big.

For example, Jingzhou City digests [-] antiques a year, and if [-] pieces appear on the market, it will be unsalable, and the price will drop, making it impossible to sell at a good price.

The sluggish antique price industry will further dampen people's enthusiasm for buying.

Because antiques are not a necessity at all, it is a scarce investment product, and people will buy up or down.

Chen Hao nodded slightly to express his approval. He didn't have much business experience and was not as systematic as what Zhou Hexuan said, but he was also keenly aware of the fact that too many antiques would cause prices to drop.

Therefore, consciously adjust, and change the trading items of the next arms trade to other high-value items such as gold and jade.

But should we give up antiques in the future?

Chen Hao asked for advice: "Old Zhou, you have rich experience in business, do you have a good solution? This is my way to make a fortune, and I must not stop it."

Zhou Hexuan was actually waiting for Chen Hao's advice.

After the last big auction, he saw that he could get such a generous commission, which was much easier than the original factory struggling to make money, so he had already started thinking about the development plan of the auction house.

If he didn't take the initiative to bring it up, he wanted to keep the development leadership of the auction house in his hands.

The old fox who has been struggling in the mall for many years is much stronger than the little fox Chen Hao who got rich overnight.

He tentatively asked: "Since we are doing business together, I have to know first. How many antiques do you provide in a year?"

Chen Hao took a puff of cigarette, thought for a while and said, "If it's [-] pieces, how would you digest them?"

As soon as Zhou Hexuan heard it, he knew that this "if" was false, so he calculated more than 400 pieces a month, and [-] pieces a year.

"There are more than 3000 antiques, and it will be difficult to digest in Jingzhou City. Our country is very big, and there are many big cities.

The last auction has already established a reputation, and it is possible to open some branches in major cities. It is not a problem to rely on the large national market to easily digest. "

Chen Hao nodded slightly to express his approval. There are too many products to expand the sales market, even a layman can figure it out.

As for expansion, which would cost a lot and dilute the profits of the auction house in a short period of time, it didn't matter to him.

As long as the antiques are sold, they have already made a lot of money.

Chen Hao asked again: "But what if there are 30,000 antiques a month, and more than [-] a year?"

Zhou Hexuan, who took a sip of tea, almost choked.He took out two pieces of paper and wiped the water that spilled from the corner of his mouth to hide his shock.

And cast a questioning look, probably asking Chen Hao if he was joking, or for real?
Chen Hao realized that there must be a question he didn't know: "Why, is [-] pieces a year a lot?"

Zhou Hexuan nodded seriously: "Many, [-] pieces of antiques a year is really too much.

Do you know how many antiques were sold nationwide last year?Probably more than 50,000 pieces, with a total turnover of 30 billion.

Supply determines the terminal price. If the supply of a commodity doubles, the terminal price will drop.

Many antiques are in private hands, they are for investment.If the prices of antiques are lowered, these people may not be able to sit still and will follow suit and sell them.

At that time, the antique market may be smashed and collapsed, and it will not recover for a few years.

So [-] antiques are easy to sell, but if you really have [-] antiques, it may be difficult. "

The scale of the antique market is so large, which Chen Hao never thought of before.

He would never have thought that one day he would be able to influence an industry.

Doing business requires a steady flow of water, and too many shipments will collapse the market, which no one wants to see.

But is it possible to control the shipment volume and release it slowly?
The problem is that the antiques that Chen Hao can get in one year are enough to ship for ten years, which is too slow for him.

Inserting the cigarette butt into the ashtray, he asked, "Is there really nothing you can do?"

Zhou Hexuan's heart moved, and he felt that he had guessed right. It seemed that Chen Hao could really get so many antiques.

Surprised, he offered his own method: "It's not that there is no way, but there is a prerequisite, you can be the master of those antiques."

A trace of curiosity flashed in Chen Hao's eyes: "Continue."

Zhou Hexuan had done his homework a long time ago, and now he talked eloquently: "In fact, antiques can be used as collateral for loans from banks. Usually, the value of antiques is [-]% to [-]%.

Our order of magnitude can be negotiated with the bank, and interest can also be negotiated, with an annualized interest rate of 5.00% to [-]%.

We also have an auction house, which can use auctions to increase the value of antiques.It would be even better if you have acquaintances at the bank. Put on a few more vests, and you won't be able to catch up with us if you don't return them when the time comes. "

Chen Hao couldn't help but nodded, and thought to himself: "Damn it, or the heart of financial affairs is dirty, and there are too many fucking ways."

In short, according to Zhou Hexuan's planning method, after deducting the rebates and operating losses, he can still get [-]% of the value of the antiques.

Compared with the [-]% handling fee deducted from the auction, which can harvest [-]% of the value of the antique, there is an extra layer of loss.

There is no other way, Chen Hao can get too many antiques, and throw them all in the market for circulation, which can smash the antique market.

Chen Hao smoked another cigarette, thought for a long time before saying: "I think that the antiques in the golden and prosperous times in troubled times, with the prosperity of the country's development, there is still a lot of room for the appreciation of scarce antiques, there is no need to buy them all for some interest Throw it to the bank."

"Of course, so we can focus on the interest rate and make the interest rate lower."

Zhou Hexuan echoed his opinion, and made another suggestion: "Billions to tens of billions of funds have accumulated, and it is not a matter to spend interest on the account, or to invest them to earn more profits.

What do you think of the real estate business I told you about last time? "

For [-] antiques, for example, if the mortgage loan is [-] billion yuan, based on the annualized interest rate of [-]%, it will cost [-] million yuan in interest a year.

Ten billion!

It would not be enough for one person to sing and sing every night for ten lifetimes.

Even buying light weapons to arm 400,000 troops would cost less than [-] billion.

If you want to last, or the same sentence, you must let money make money.

The tens of billions of funds cannot be eaten by any industry, and it can bring high returns and profits.

The last time he mentioned the rate of return on real estate, Chen Hao asked people to collect information. Last year, the national real estate investment scale was 30.00 trillion, a year-on-year increase of [-]%. The entire industry is thriving.

[-] billion is invested, even if the leverage is leveraged several times, it can be fully digested.

The key lies in whether the trader is qualified, whether he can ensure the smooth operation of the entire project, and ultimately bring high returns.

If Li Gubei were to do it, Chen Hao would not doubt whether it would be possible.

But when it was mentioned last time, Li Gubei didn't make a clear statement, in fact, it was the most obvious statement. Without enough benefits, he would definitely not be able to impress him.

Zhou Hexuan has never been involved in real estate before, although it can be seen that he has been doing research recently and has a clear understanding of the industry.

But theory and practice are two different things after all. When it comes to practice, many unexpected difficulties will emerge.

While Chen Hao was thinking, Zhou Hexuan smoked one cigarette after another, anxiously waiting for him.

Speaking of Zhou Hexuan's net worth of one billion yuan, it is not short of money to sell the business he has been running for a long time.

It is not a problem to buy a piece of land and get a development loan from the bank to use leverage to run the real estate project.

But he is more than 40 years old. After all, he is not the boy he was back then, and he knows how risky it is to enter a strange industry.

Don't think that if others make money in real estate, you can make money yourself.

When the industry is booming, many people fall into the pit.

For example, the development of the land was stopped because it involved the fallen officials, or the bank suddenly cut off the loan.

Just one of them, and the whole project can be thrown into the mud, never to turn over again.

Zhou Hexuan tried every means to hug Li Gubei's thigh, because he took a fancy to his political and business relations, and his relationship with the bank.

When something goes wrong, asking someone to help him at a critical moment is the change between life and death.

Another one is the truth that Zhou Hexuan realized after 20 years of doing business - it is best to use other people's money to do business.

If you earn it, you have your share.

If you lose, it's someone else's.

If it is dark enough, no matter whether you make money or lose money, you will not suffer.

Of course, it is unrealistic to want to use all other people's money to do business.

With such a large amount of funds, if you don't invest in yourself, who can trust him?

He has a net worth of one billion yuan, invested two or three billion yuan to do this business, and set a stop loss line in his heart.

If he loses, he should stop the loss in time, and it still does not prevent him from continuing to be a rich man.

It would be great to have a partner to fight risks together.

Chen Hao was selected because of his large capital scale. For the real estate industry, sufficient funds are the most important.

The second is his mysterious background, which may be useful at critical moments.

Zhou Hexuan saw that Chen Hao hadn't expressed his opinion for a long time, and he was so impatient that he smoked even harder. If it's going to work, at least give me a correct answer!

Chen Hao refilled another cigarette, and threw the empty cigarette case into the trash can.

"Old Zhou, let's start a project to test the water first. The key is to figure out the inside ways. It doesn't matter if you lose money. I can still afford to lose a few hundred million.

As long as the entire project works without problems, it can bring high returns.Then the follow-up injection of funds to expand the scale, everything is easy to say. "

Zhou Hexuan was stunned for a moment, he probably didn't expect him to agree so quickly, he quickly reacted, and said overjoyed: "That's great, I feel so relieved to have you participate."

The two agreed to start a joint stock business. Although it was settled, the brothers still had to settle accounts.

In the future, we must let professional people draw up the contract and figure out the whole process.

A business worth hundreds of millions must have matching constraints.Otherwise, there will be more disputes in the end, which will hurt feelings.

Zhou Hexuan was afraid of being killed.

So put everything on the bright side and talk about credibility.

After talking about the two most important things, Chen Hao talked to Zhou Hexuan about buying a car for the woman, and gave up the corresponding compensation.

After all, the auction house also has people's shares. If the company's profit is used to buy a car for its own use, it is indeed the major shareholder encroaching on the interests of the small shareholder.

Compared with a big business worth hundreds of millions, the cost of buying a car of 8 million is a trivial matter, so Zhou Hexuan naturally doesn't care about it.

Chen Hao said: "By the way, I just registered a security company and recruited twenty retired non-commissioned officers to form a security team.

One is to provide bodyguard services for my girlfriend, and the other is to provide security services for our auction house.

All other problems have been solved, but there is still a lack of a training venue. You know a lot of people, so ask me to see if there is any suitable one. "

Domestic security is not difficult. The main condition of the training venue is that it is empty, which can be improved later.

After listening to the conditions, Zhou Hexuan agreed to ask for him, and it shouldn't be difficult to solve.

Zhou Hexuan was very interested in the bodyguard service provided.The country is relatively safe most of the time, but it can't stand accidents.

Especially the richer one is, the more afraid of death, Zhou Hexuan thinks it is worthwhile to spend hundreds of thousands to hire two experienced bodyguards to protect the safety.

"Oh, I didn't expect there to be a surprise. The new company has a business before it even opens." Chen Hao joked with a smile. He didn't expect the security company to make money, and it would be nice if he could be responsible for his own profits and losses.

As for Zhou Hexuan's need for two bodyguards, he directly stated that the business can only be signed with the auction company, which can be regarded as a benefit for shareholders.

Zhou Hexuan humbly agreed, and said that Li Gubei was unlucky, and he would arrange bodyguards as soon as he came back.

Just because of Chen Hao's name, the newly opened security company must be top-notch, it's a pity that Dong Li has no blessing to enjoy it.

Having said that, Chen Hao felt that Li Gubei might not dare to use people from his security company, the bigger the boss, the more he valued his own safety.

If people can afford a security team, why add another security company and ask the security team to be managed by an extra mother-in-law?
A bodyguard is a confidant, who may see some private affairs of the employer, and even block bullets for the employer when necessary.

One more layer of management means one more layer of risk.

Chen Hao quickly put such thoughts behind him. He cared more about the venue, personnel, and the company. Does it count as completing the tenth mission?
