Chapter 98 Business [Third Update]

"Brother Feng, there are fewer and fewer cultural people playing with the Four Treasures of the Study. Our business is really not very good..."

Xie Xuan is a clever person with a lively mind. He has been in the Antique Street for more than three months, and he is well connected with the people around him. However, the longer he spends in the Antique Street, the more Xie Xuan looks down on the current business.

It has been more than three months since the opening, that is, occasionally some retired veteran cadres come to buy some objects such as brushes and rice paper. The biggest transaction since the opening is still a parent of an eight-year-old child who hopes to have a son. He spent 600 yuan to buy it. A set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

The profits of these things are extremely low, and they don't have business every day. It would be good if they can open for business in three to five days.

After three months, Xie Xuan settled the accounts, not to mention that he didn't earn a single penny, including the rent, water and electricity, labor and the management fee of the antique street, they actually lost a net loss of nearly 2 yuan.

This makes Xie Xuan, who claims to be talented in business, very unwilling, because he sees those crooked people in other shops every day, at least a month can earn eight thousand, and even a month If you can earn 10,000+, that is the real three years without opening, and three years after opening.

Today I brought my dad to Qin Feng, Xie Xuan just wanted to put forward suggestions for rectification and make a complete plan for the future development of "Wenbaozhai".

Of course, the little fat man who didn't graduate from junior high school couldn't think of these things, they were all taught to Xie Xuan by the old man around him.

After explaining his thoughts to Qin Feng, Xie Xuan said: "Brother Feng, although we still have some money, we can't sit and eat, right? In my opinion, if this continues, "Wenbaozhai" must be closed... "

The original 25 yuan from Shishi, after deducting the expenses of buying and repairing the courtyard house and taking over "Wenbaozhai", there are about [-] to [-] yuan left.

When Xie Xuan and Li Tianyuan left Tianjin, Qin Feng asked them to take away 2 yuan. The two brothers are not good at living, and they spent all [-] yuan in half a year.

After Xie Xuan returned to Tianjin, Qin Feng gave him the remaining 3 yuan, and spent almost 2 yuan in the past few months, so Xie Xuan will start to worry.

"Qin Feng, do you have no money?"

If he hadn't heard from his son, Xie Dazhi really didn't know that the antique shop was running like this, so he immediately said, "How about I put some money in the shop first, so you can use it?"

It only took Xie Dazhi two years to go from the brink of bankruptcy to his recovery from the dead. The newly developed real estate project has brought him rich returns. Now it is absolutely no problem to take out a 80 million RMB.

"Uncle Xie, the money is not short for now, I have a way..." Qin Feng shook his head and rejected Xie Dazhi's kindness.

Last year, he "shunted" two bundles of money from Yuan Bingqi's safe, and hid them before returning to the pharmaceutical factory. Later, when he retrieved them, he found a total of 6 yuan. Qin Feng didn't have to worry about the money in a short time.

Qin Feng tapped the back of the chair with his slender and delicate fingers, raised his head and said, "Xuanzi, what do you think about this store?"

Qin Feng doesn't like to do everything by himself. As the saying goes, "Give a man a fish, and he will have three meals; teach a man to fish, and he will use it for a lifetime." The reason why he let go is to let Xie Xuan and Li Tianyuan mature.

And a place like Antique Street, where dragons and snakes are mixed, and intrigues are staged every day, is probably the easiest place for people to grow up except for prisons.

Facts have also proved that Xie Xuan and Li Tianyuan are indeed much more mature than before.

Needless to say, Xie Xuan, Li Tianyuan also learned to smile with others, the biggest "business" of 600 yuan was made by him.

According to the parent's teaching method, if you don't study calligraphy well, you will stand at the counter and sell things like Li Tianyuan in the future, which made Li Tianyuan's face black at that time.

It's just that Li Tianyuan's heart is not dark enough. If it were Xie Xuan, he would at least sell a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones worth more than [-]. Now, besides women's money, children's money is easy to earn. What a rare opportunity! .

"Brother Feng, I thought about it, let's sell jadeite!"

Hearing Qin Feng asking his idea, the little fat man's eyes lit up immediately, "I've searched this street, there are quite a few sellers of jade, but there really aren't any sellers of jadeite, with your skills, I'm sure you can do it." Let's get hot!"

After spending so long in the antique street, Xie Xuan also knows the value of jadeite, especially the kind of jadeite made by Qin Feng, which is more expensive than gold, and it doesn’t need to be much, as long as one piece can be sold a year , so that they can live comfortably.

"With my skills?"

Qin Feng smiled wryly when he heard the words, and lightly patted Xie Xuan's head with his hand, and scolded with a smile: "If it's really handmade jade, you'll just wait to be smashed into the store, and you won't be able to wear it for a few months Fading, and causing physical harm, this business is too unethical to do."

Through He Zai's subtle influence during his studies, Qin Feng is not very resistant to cheating and abducting, which is also a technical job, but he has his own bottom line in life, that is, to make money without killing.

If that kind of fake jade is done carefully, it can indeed guarantee that it will not fade within two or three years, but the radioactive substances contained in it will cause great harm to the human body.

"Brother Feng, what can we do? We have no way to sell calligraphy and paintings, let alone do other things. Who knows where those things come from?"

After hearing Qin Feng's words, Xie Xuan suddenly turned bitter. It stands to reason that the shops that operate the Four Treasures of the Study are full of literati who are interested in calligraphy and painting. Like Xin Nan's grandfather, the shop was full of celebrity calligraphy and painting before. .

It's just that Xin Nan's grandfather was a celebrity in the calligraphy world, and it was easy for him to ask for a painting or pay for a celebrity's calligraphy and painting.

But Qin Feng and these brats are neither famous nor well-connected, not to mention those well-known calligraphers and painters, even the students who have just graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts, I am afraid that they are not willing to put their works in their shop.

As for those bronze wares and miscellaneous items, each store had no deep taboos about the channels for their own purchases. No matter what Xie Xuan said, they refused to say it, which also cut off Xie Xuan's thoughts.

"Where did it come from?" Qin Feng glanced at Xie Xuan and said, "Xuanzi, do you want to sell that thing?"

"Of course, Brother Feng, you don't know. A few days ago, that guy with a pockmarked face got a bronze candlestick from somewhere. He said it was from the Warring States period, but he actually sold that shit. Eighty thousand!"

Xie Xuan showed an indignant expression on his face, and continued: "That thing is full of rust, there is not even a word on it. According to my opinion, Ma Lao Wu spent at most 50 yuan to collect it, but this shot is eight. Wan, without a counter-offer."

This kind of thing is not done once or twice in Antique Street, but the business is different, Xie Xuan can only watch others make a lot of money, and it is definitely fake if he is not jealous.

Qin Feng shook his head and said: "Going to the countryside to find things requires good eyesight. Don't think that all the things in the country are real. If you don't have eyesight, no amount of money will pay you back..."

In the 80s, going to the countryside to collect antiques was a shortcut to making a fortune. At that time, people didn't care about these broken bowls and irons, and they were willing to sell them for any money.

But in recent years, people have more spare money, and more people are playing with antiques. Naturally, the price of antiques has risen, and it is almost impossible to go to the countryside to find treasures.

Moreover, those old men and women who sold things cheaply in the past have learned to be smart after suffering a few losses.

They don’t know where to buy some high-quality antiques and hide them at home. When the people who collect antiques come to the door, they pretend to reveal the objects accidentally, attracting people who want to go fishing, but they are pulled down by the fish After drinking the water, the fish was not eaten, and it was still fishy all over.

As time goes by, except for some retired people who have nothing to do and really like to collect, and go to the countryside to pick up leaks, the grandchildren in Antique Street are fighting wits with old men and old ladies. After being fooled several times in a row, who is it? I didn't want to go to the countryside, so I just sold fakes myself.

Counterfeiting of antiques is already a well-known thing in the industry. The three emperors of Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty were the ancestors of counterfeiting. They imitated many calligraphy and painting porcelains of Song and Ming Dynasties.

Of course, in modern times, those fakes at that time have also become extremely precious cultural relics and antiques, but those made in modern times do not have this kind of collection value.

Xie Xuan also wanted to do this, but because he had no way out, those profiteers who usually talked about drinking and eating meat in the Antique Street all became dumb when they mentioned this matter.

Hearing that Qin Feng rejected all his suggestions, Xie Xuan said angrily: "Brother Feng, this doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. We might as well close the shop to save money."

"Xuanzi, don't worry, I have to review for the exam during this time, and when the college entrance examination is over, let's go out and do some work!"

Qin Feng laughed when he heard the words, since he followed Zaishi to learn art, he has never worried about money, either he is bragging, or Qin Feng now goes to the train station to set up a stall, earning thousands of dollars a day. like playing.

"What kind of work? Or emerald?"

Xie Xuan's eyes lit up. That time Qin Feng's empty-handed white wolf touched him too deeply. A few hundred yuan was a whole broken stone, and he made more than 20 yuan in a blink of an eye.

Qin Feng thought for a while and said: "The situation in Myanmar has been unstable in the past few years, and the price of jadeite has risen sharply. You can consider doing that in the future, but if you want to do it, you must do it formally, and you can't smash the signboard."

Hearing Qin Feng's words, Xie Dazhi interjected: "Qin Feng, the cost of doing jadeite business is not small. If you buy some goods and stock up, it will be tens of millions. You don't have that much capital now..."

Not only Shishi, but high-end jadeite has a market in major cities in China in recent years, especially those who are the first to get rich. Anyone who doesn’t wear a cat’s eye-sized jadeite ring on their finger will be ashamed to go out to meet people .

Xie Dazhi looked at Qin Feng and said, "If you really want to do this, or... I will pay this money, which is regarded as a share for Xie Xuan. What do you think, Qin Feng?"

Although Xie Dazhi admired Qin Feng, if it was before today, he would never open his mouth and make an investment of tens of millions of yuan, which is not in line with Xie Dazhi's cautious temperament.

But after seeing the close relationship between Qin Feng and Director Hu, let alone 1000 million, just let him Xie someone take out all his current net worth. Xie Dazhi is not in a daze. With Hu Baoguo as a great god, it would be difficult for Qin Feng to lose money even if he wanted to.

"It's not necessary, Uncle Xie, let's think about starting the jadeite business after we have our own capital."

Qin Feng shook his head, rejected Xie Dazhi's kindness again, and smiled at Xie Xuan: "Xuanzi, you said that we can spend the money we earn by ourselves, so that we can have a sense of accomplishment, right?"

"Yes, Brother Feng, you're right, what's the point of spending my money?"

Xie Xuan straightened his chest, looked at his father and said, "Dad, just look at it, my son will definitely be richer than you in the future..."

"Damn it, you used to spend my money, how little did you spend?" Seeing his son's appearance, Xie Dazhi was angry and funny, but seeing his son's ambition, he felt relieved.

"Brother Feng, the jadeite business can't be done now, what should we do?"

Xie Xuan, who had just finished being a hero, turned into a bear again when he turned around. Now he is taking care of the family accounts. If he doesn't make money and doesn't need his father to help him, he will soon be living on the northwest wind.

"Don't worry, didn't I say, we'll make money after taking the college entrance examination."

Qin Feng glanced at Xie Dazhi, but he still didn't tell the way to make money, not because he didn't want to say it, but because he couldn't.

Qin Feng's so-called way to make money is actually to be a cameo in the "Inverted Fight" of the Five Elements and Three Schools, that is, tomb robbery. Since there is no way to buy counterfeit products, it is better to sell the real ones.

Qin Feng and Master Zai have the same point of view, that is, the property of the world belongs to the people of the world, so why should those princes and generals sell all the good things and bury them in the tomb?These condensed treasures are the treasures of the essence of craftsmen at that time, and they should be made public to the world.

After the news of Sun Dianying's theft of Dongling, the elders and children of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, as if they were in mourning, condemned Sun Dianying's behavior one after another.

After Zai heard the news, he was silent for a while, and then spit out two words: "It's what you deserve!"

As the saying goes, like a teacher, there must be a disciple. Zai didn't care about the theft of his ancestor's tomb, and Qin Feng didn't take it seriously. Right now, there is a shortage of items in the antique shop.

The reason why the academic world hates tomb robbery is that firstly, those people do it for their own selfish desires, and secondly, their work is too trendy, often stealing ten things, and destroying dozens of them, the damage rate is too high high.

Of course, Qin Feng's idea can't be told to Xie Dazhi, otherwise, even if Xie Dazhi appreciates Qin Feng again, after learning that he is going to take his son to pick up the ancestral grave, he will probably fight Qin Feng with a kitchen knife, right?
