Chapter 599
After watching the fun, it was still early to leave the meal, so the crowd gradually dispersed. Lin Zhizhong and Luo Songrong invited Fang Ming to their shop to have a look. The current situation on the street, so I agreed.

Entering Lin Zhizhong's store, Fang Ming looked it over and nodded secretly. Although there were many shelves in the store, they were neatly arranged, wiped and maintained very clean, which is very important in antique appraisal. The lighting is also very good and has enough brightness.

These are all details, but it is precisely because of this that it can be seen that Lin Zhizhong is a veteran in management.

There are some small means in the antique industry, such as lighting, such as deliberately leaving some dust on the antiques, in order to create false appearances as much as possible to deceive people. However, the store Fang Ming saw in Lin Zhizhong now This is not the case for the old antiques. We know that Lin Zhizhong should be a person who is good at management—in fact, for real business experts, these so-called small tricks are completely unnecessary, especially for those who hope to run a century-old store. It is even more unnecessary.

"Boss Lin, this store is pretty good."

Because of the matter of the lacquer bottle just now, Fang Ming was familiar with Lin Zhizhong and Luo Songrong, so he spoke more casually at this time.

Hearing what Fang Ming said, Lin Zhizhong's face showed color, but he said modestly: "Mr. Fang, this... Compared with your Guxuanzhai, my place is really nothing. "

"Ha! Let me tell you, Boss Lin, you're being a good boy for taking advantage of it. Teacher Fang is complimenting you, but you're really cocking your tail."

Luo Songrong didn't give Lin Zhizhong any face, and immediately became "sarcastic".

"hey-hey!"

Lin Zhizhong smiled and said, "I don't care about you. Teacher Fang said my shop is good, so I'm happy."

Seeing this, Luo Songrong shook his head, but he didn't say any more, they were all human beings, and he knew that if Bu himself continued talking, it would only make Lin Zhizhong more happy and proud.

Walking into the shop, Fang Ming, Luo Songrong and Lin Zhizhong sat down in front of the sofa and coffee table. Lin Zhizhong was the owner, so of course he came to make tea.

Ten minutes later, the aroma of tea rose.

"Teacher Fang, I don't have any good tea here. I picked it myself in a small tea garden in my hometown. I just wanted to make it fresh."

Fang Ming picked it up and smelled it first, then put it in his mouth.The brow furrowed at first, but then relaxed immediately.

"Not bad, quite good!"

Fang Ming nodded lightly, "It is slightly bitter when you drink it, but the hot tea tastes sweet immediately after you drink it, and the sweetness becomes even stronger after entering your throat!"

Lin Zhizhong was even more happy, and said: "Ha! Teacher Fang, I am a tester. My tea is an old tea tree that has been passed down for three generations. Although it is not a special famous variety, it is not bad. The annual tea I kept a few catties of tea leaves by myself!"

The same is true for this tea, so when Fang Ming was able to taste the taste of his own tea, Lin Zhizhong was naturally very happy.

"Boss Lin, I've been to your store many times, and bought a lot of antiques from you, but I've never seen you take out this tea."

Luo Songrong muttered again.

Shaking his head, Lin Zhizhong said, "How can this be the same? Let me tell you, if Teacher Fang hadn't come today, you wouldn't have been lucky."

This is true. Every year, Lin Zhizhong keeps the few catties of tea on the old tea tree at home as treasures. He will only take them out when he meets important guests. Fang Ming is here today. He is a Dana-level figure, so he took it out.

"Well, this... I have nothing to say."

Fang Ming put down the teacup, looked at Luo Songrong, and said, "Boss Luo, don't you open a shop here?"

Luo Songrong shook his head and said, "No, I opened a shop in Huadong City."

Fang Ming was surprised, and said, "Huh? Huadong City? That's quite a distance from us? Are you here to buy antiques?"

Fang Ming has never been to Huadong City, but he knows this place. If you take the train from Ningdong City, it will take a day, and the bus is about the same, and there are no planes in these two cities. There is no way to pay this money.

Luo Songrong nodded and said, "Yes, I'm here to buy antiques for the store."

"Didn't you come here before? Why did you suddenly change to here?"

Fang Ming became even more curious.People who play antiques actually have a fixed circle, and they will not change this circle easily, including buying goods. This is mainly because the risk of the antique industry is relatively high. It is better to deal with strangers for many years. It doesn't matter if you are unfamiliar, but it's different if you run a store.

Luo Songrong should also be a person who has opened a shop for many years. It stands to reason that he should have his own fixed evolution channel, and generally speaking, he will not change his choice.

"Yes, I used to go to the capital to buy goods, but now I come to Ningdong City."

Luo Songrong smiled at Fang Ming and said, "This actually has something to do with you."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

Fang Ming sat up straight, he was really curious about this matter now.

"It's like this. Although Ningdong City was famous for antiques before, it was for individuals. For shopkeepers like us, it is very important to ensure a good purchase channel. So, we Usually, I go to the capital, after all, there are more antiques there. However, recently, especially after the Treasure Appreciation Conference, the reputation of antiques in Ningdong City has suddenly increased. Especially in Dongcheng Street As soon as Huaxi Street was established, it quickly attracted a group of people including antique wholesalers, so those of us who opened stores came here.”

"After coming here, I found that the quality of the antiques here is quite good, and the price is [-]% cheaper than that in the capital. This price is already very good for those of us who open a shop, so we come here gone."

Fang Ming's heart moved, and he said, "Boss Luo, are there many people like you?"

The operation of Dongcheng Street here is an important plan of Fang Ming, Sikongzhe and others. So far, this plan is of course successful. There are already a lot of stores and the climate has formed, but he knows that these are only superficial. The situation, the real situation is only clear to some people, especially people like Luo Songrong and Lin Zhizhong have the most direct feeling.

So he immediately asked such a question.

"Many, many of my peers, at least many of the shopkeepers in our city have moved their positions here from the capital. At least this is an important choice. I think if the situation continues, , then slowly here will attract more antique dealers who regularly purchase goods.”

Luo Songrong nodded immediately, the situation was just as he said, and several of his good friends had already chosen to come here to buy goods.

"Oh, it seems that this is a good phenomenon."

Fang Ming nodded heavily, with a surprised expression on his face.

Luo Songrong pointed at Lin Zhizhong, and said with a smile: "Teacher Fang, actually, Boss Lin has the most direct experience of such things."

"Oh? What do you say?"

Fang Ming looked at Lin Zhizhong in confusion.

"Hehe, it's like this. I opened a shop in the capital before, and I just came here recently."

Fang Ming understood why Luo Songrong said that when he heard it.Lin Zhizhong opened a shop in the capital city before, but now that he has come to Ningdong City, there must be a selection process. For him, his mentality is more worth studying.

"Boss Lin, why did you make such a choice?"

This is not a secret. After thinking for a while, Lin Zhizhong said: "It's like this. I also opened a store in the capital before. It must be admitted that after years of development in the capital, the management of the entire market, including popularity, etc. It is better than here. However, because of this, the competition will be very fierce. At the same time, the water is too deep, which will lead to a sharp rise in various costs. I have opened a store there for three years. Basically no money was made."

Fang Ming understands this very well. If there is no market for ten years, and the market will suffer for ten years, this is of course a description of the antique industry who will make a lot of money by picking up leaks, but there is no market for ten years here. What to eat in it?Once the cost is evened out, maybe there will be no profit.

Therefore, this is also a huge burden for those who run the store. It is normal for Lin Zhizhong to encounter this difficulty.

"If there is no other choice, then I can only stay in the capital. After all, although that place has various disadvantages, it also has many advantages. For those who deal in antiques, it is indeed a paradise."

"However, the Appreciation Conference not long ago attracted the attention of many people in our industry, and I was naturally one of them. I didn't come at the beginning, but I came at the end, and it was almost I was the first batch to know about the investment and development plans of Dongcheng Street and Huaxi Street. At that time, I thought it was a good opportunity, so after a short thought, I felt that I came here-although it was painful to leave the capital, It is also full of uncertainties. To be honest, I was quite worried at the beginning, but after a period of time, I immediately felt that my choice was correct! Because the whole development here is too fast! So fast that it’s unbelievable for me to be in it myself.”
