Chapter 239 Storefront

"Brother Feng, let alone, the boss was very reliable in his work that week?" Xie Xuan drove Qin Feng to Panjiayuan with an excited face in that broken van.

Unlike Li Tianyuan who likes to wield knives and guns, what Xie Xuan likes most is the intriguing business field, and whenever a fake product is sold by cheating, the little fat man always has a very special sense of satisfaction in his heart .

"Xuanzi, can he not be in a hurry? If we want to take over the Four Treasures Store of the Study, he won't be able to cry..."

Qin Feng laughed when he heard the words. When he left Panjiayuan, he intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the name of his store in Jintian Antique Street. I believe Boss Zhou must have found out.

As the saying goes, peers are enemies, if Panjiayuan has another shop that operates the Four Treasures of the Study, then he will have more competition, especially Qin Feng's status as a disciple of Qigong, which makes Boss Zhou fearful.

So after Qin Feng promised not to run the business of the Four Treasures of the Study, Boss Zhou put all his horsepower and used all kinds of relationships. It took only more than a day to find a new store for Qin Feng.

Today is still the weekend stall market, but Qin Feng came a bit late, and there are many fewer people in Panjiayuan, most of them are old players, looking for fun at various stalls.

Antiques are not just about picking up leaks. It is also a refreshing thing to come across your favorite collections when you are shopping for street stalls. Many retired old people never get tired of it.

"Xuanzi, now that the antique craze is just starting, we can still occupy a place, otherwise, in a few years, the investment of one hundred thousand won't even make a dent here..."

Looking at the crowd that hadn't dispersed, Qin Feng felt a little emotional. As the saying goes, gold in troubled times and antiques in prosperous times, if master Zai can live in this era, he must become an admirable collector.

"Brother Feng, I have almost finished the batch of jade according to the method you taught. Can I release a few pieces by then?" After hearing Qin Feng's words, Xie Xuan's eyes were also full of longing.

Of course, what this kid thinks more about is how to turn the money in other people's wallets into his own. That's the joy of doing business for Xie Xuan.

"Well, take out a few yuan, first to make a reputation." Qin Feng thought for a while, nodded and said: "But be careful, don't be tricked by others, just say that you received it from the countryside... "

When a new store opens, there is always something to attract the attention of others. If there is no treasure of the store, those old players will not come to the store at all.

Moreover, Qin Feng taught Xie Xuan a martial arts technique. After a few months of hard work, seven or eight pieces of ancient jade have been produced. No matter whether it is colored or coated, they are not much different from the ancient jade handed down from generation to generation.

"Oh, Boss Qin is here, please, please..."

As soon as he walked into Boss Zhou's store, Boss Zhou, who was sitting behind the counter wearing small glasses and looked a bit like an ancient shopkeeper, immediately greeted him and said with a smile: "Boss Qin, you are really busy, I I have been waiting for you all afternoon."

Qin Feng bowed his hands to Boss Zhou, and said with a smile: "Boss Zhou, I'm ashamed, there are too many things, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

From yesterday afternoon to now, Qin Feng didn't seem to be idle for a while. First, he punished Yu Honghu and others. In the evening, he staged a full-scale martial arts exercise, subduing Kanto He Jinlong and Miao Liuzhi. The process was full of ups and downs.

In the early morning today, I had a whole morning discussion with Li Ran, and in the afternoon I was fighting wits and courage with Meng Lin. Qin Feng was really busy.

If Boss Zhou hadn't kept saying that the house was in short supply on the phone, Qin Feng probably wanted to postpone it until tomorrow. When it comes to business, sometimes you can't be too eager, otherwise you will just stick your neck out and stab someone.

"Boss Zhou, forget about the tea, let's talk about business."

After sitting down in the inner room, Qin Feng didn't show too much politeness, and asked straight to the point: "Boss Zhou, I don't know what's going on with the store you mentioned?"

"Brother Qin, you are so lucky. You were just about to open a shop in Panjiayuan, but someone moved your place."

Boss Zhou pointed out with a smile, and said, "There is a shop opposite me, which deals in jade and antiques. It has two floors, with a small yard behind it..."

Speaking of this, Boss Zhou gave a thumbs up and said, "The whole store has a total of more than 200 square meters. No matter in terms of area or location, it can be regarded as the king of shops in Panjiayuan."

"Mr. Zhou, do you know how much the rent is per flat?"

After hearing Boss Zhou's words, Xie Xuan's small eyes suddenly lit up. Boss Zhou's shop is located in the center of Panjiayuan, and the jade shop is opposite. The location is very good.

However, this area is beyond the budget of Qin Feng and others. They originally thought that it would be enough to rent a store of 200 to [-] square meters. Of course, the area of ​​more than [-] square meters can expand the business, but the initial investment will require additional budget. .

"The rent is based on the market price, and the location of this store is excellent..."

Boss Zhou glanced at Qin Feng, and then said: "The rent for one square meter is 85 yuan, and the monthly rent for 200 square meters is 7000 yuan. If all utilities are included, it is [-] yuan. The yard is free, but One thing is that you must pay three years' rent first..."

Eighteen thousand a month, the annual rent is more than 20, which is considered the leading big store in today's Panjiayuan, perhaps only a time-honored brand like "Rongbaozhai" can afford such a facade.

Like Boss Zhou’s store, although there is an interior room, it is only separated by wooden boards. The area inside and outside is 2000 to [-] square meters, and the monthly rent is [-] yuan. No comparison at all.

Coupled with the need to pay three years' rent first, it is equivalent to pressing 65 in cash. For antique shops that have already squeezed funds, many people are unwilling.

So Boss Zhou kept looking at Qin Feng while he was talking, but he was afraid that the young man would think it was too expensive. After all, the bigger the stall, the more money it would need.

"Brother Feng, what do you think?"

Xie Xuan is purely the kind of person who is not afraid of big things. The bigger the shop, the more fulfilling he will be as a shopkeeper. He looked at Qin Feng eagerly.

"Ten thousand and eight a month, pay three years' rent first?"

Qin Feng fell silent when he heard the words, and after about three or four minutes, he said, "Boss Zhou, if it's just the rent, I can afford it, but if the other party has any other additional conditions, this matter will be fine." It's easy."

When he was in Tianjin that year, Qin Feng had experience in taking over antique shops. He knew that unless the shops were leased directly from the market, they were basically transferred.

Since it is a transfer of a store in operation, there must be various reasons, such as poor management or coercion like Xin Nan. If it is a profitable business, naturally no one will push it out.

This brings about a problem. Those who transfer want to minimize their losses, and often propose to transfer the goods together. In that case, the money that Qin Feng can afford now will probably be exceeded.

"Brother Qin, you are under the tutelage of Mr. Qi, and I have many contacts with Mr. Qi's disciples. Speaking of which, we are not outsiders..."

Boss Zhou and Qin Feng got close to each other, and then said: "The boss of this store has a good relationship with me, but something happened recently, I called him yesterday, and he showed a little intention of selling. Didn't I immediately think of you, Brother Qin...

My old friend didn't go into details about the specifics. I think if you are interested, you should go to the store first. As for the details, you two should sit down and talk about it. It has nothing to do with my old Zhou... "

Doing business in the four treasures of the study in the capital must be inextricably linked to the cultural circle.

Boss Zhou is indeed on good terms with some of Qi Gong's disciples. The reason why he worked so hard to help Qin Feng find a shop is because he is afraid that he will be involved in the business of the Four Treasures of the Study, and secondly, he also wants to form a good relationship with Qin Feng.

"Boss Zhou, since you say that, we are really not outsiders."

Qin Feng naturally understood Boss Zhou's words, and smiled immediately: "You are old friends with that shop owner, do you know what happened to him?"

In a place like Panjiayuan, a store of 200 square meters is regarded as decoration and other expenses. I am afraid that the initial investment must be at least [-] million or more. People who have no strength will not be able to play at all. It can force that person to think of selling the store. This encounter must not be simple.

Boss Zhou sighed, and said, "Old Fang, he is good at everything, but he is too gambling..."

"A lot of gambling? Did you lose money in Macau?" Qin Feng was taken aback when he heard the words. As the saying goes, ten gambles and nine cheats, no matter how much money you have, as long as you get involved in gambling, you will be poor.

"It's not money, he's betting on rocks."

Boss Zhou shook his head. He thought that Qin Feng didn't know what betting on stones was, and explained: "Betting on stones is betting on jade. You can bet on Hetian jade, but the gambling is small. Lao Fang fell in love with betting on jade a few years ago. Last time But Yue fell into a big somersault..."

It turned out that the owner of that jade shop was Fang Yazhi, whose ancestors had been in the business of antiques since the Jiaqing Dynasty, and opened a time-honored store called "Yazhizhai".

Although "Yazhizhai" is not as good as "Duoyunxuan" in Shanghai and "Rongbaozhai" in Beijing, which are known as Nanduo Beirong, it is also a century-old shop and is well-known in the antique industry in Beijing.

Unlike "Rongbaozhai", which mainly focuses on calligraphy and painting and the Four Treasures of the Study, in the early years, "Yazhizhai" did more miscellaneous projects, covering almost all four categories of antiques, which gives people a feeling of miscellaneous but not refined.

But at the end of the 80s, Fang Yazhi, the current owner of "Yazhizhai", took over the family business, but set the main products on jade, came up with new ideas, and launched a batch of mid-to-high-end jade accessories.

The capital city has always been the cultural center of the country, and the origin of cultural people and jade has existed since ancient times.

After this batch of jade ornaments came out, the name of "Yazhi Zhai" was quickly established. Almost everyone who plays with jade knows "Yazhi Zhai".

In the early 80s and 90s, the domestic economic situation also began to improve, and many people had some spare cash on their hands. In addition, jade has always been said to support people, and the sales of jade jewelry began to increase during that time.

At that time, Fang Yazhi invested almost all of his wealth in the business, monopolizing the output of several jade mines in Xinjiang Province. In the [-]s and [-]s, he was a well-deserved jade predator.

Accurate vision and bold investment have also brought generous returns to Fang Yazhi. He has opened a total of nearly [-] chain jade sales stores all over the country, and he has always been in the limelight.
