Chapter 688 The Heart of Gossip in the Antique World
Standing at the door of the store, Fang Ming pointed to the crowd who were still surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside, and said, "Boss Lin, I think your strategy is right, take the low-end route, especially if you do things like this. Wholesale. This is because the demand in the high-end market is actually not much or not sustainable and stable, on the contrary, the demand in the low-end market is large and very stable.”

High-end antiques are certainly good things, but not everyone can afford them.

Not to mention the tens of millions, even if it is tens of millions, not everyone can buy it if they want to, and even if they have money, they don’t just sell it at will—as long as it’s a normal person spending money. Be cautious when paying 100 million.

However, those low-end antiques, such as tens of thousands or tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, are completely different.

Antiques worth more than one hundred thousand yuan are already considered good antiques, and such antiques are also very suitable to be given out as gifts, so they are the main force in the market, and it is not too much for rich people to spend such money on an antique. Great psychological pressure.

As for tens of thousands, that is the main demand of antique collectors.

The profit of such antiques may not be too high, but the advantage lies in the quantity, and the profit of a large quantity is very gratifying after adding up.

Lin Zhizhong's low-end antiques seemed to Fang Ming to be the right choice.

"Well, yes, we are indeed conscious of this. Compared with high-end antiques, we have no way to compare with Song Jialin's, let alone your Guxuanzhai. Therefore, we pay attention to Focus on low-end antiques. As you have analyzed, the number of low-end antiques is even greater, which is a better thing for wholesalers like us.”

Lin Zhizhong looked at the people in front of the store, and his face also showed joy. Some of these people came to wholesale antiques and are looking at samples now, and some were antique collectors here on Dongcheng Street.

The exhibition has only started for more than an hour now, but according to incomplete statistics, nearly 50 pieces of antiques have been sold. Although the unit price of each piece of antiques is not too high, which is about 200 yuan, it adds up to 500 pieces. Well, it is very good to be able to sell so much in an hour. You must know that this is all retail, and as time goes by, this number will continue to increase. Is there a turnover of [-] million in a day? There is a little problem, if it is good, it may reach [-] million.

If the business reaches 500 million, the profit is estimated to reach 200 million, which is a very high amount. Moreover, this is still retail. If we negotiate a few more "wholesale" businesses, it will be really very high. Not bad - and judging from the current situation, it is not difficult to do this at all.

Therefore, it seems that the strategy is not a problem at all.

"Well, yes, how about this, you should be busy first, I think you have a lot of things to do now. By the way, Lu Yao's auction company has batches of antique auctions, do you know?"

Fang Ming knew that Lin Zhizhong had a lot of things to do now, and he couldn't help it if he stayed here for too long.

I am really busy now, so Lin Zhizhong didn't try to keep Fang Ming, but nodded and said, "Okay, Teacher Fang, after I've been busy for a while, I'll treat you to dinner. I've already done the auction. Got it. Lu Yao has already come to explain to us before, I plan to participate and I am preparing."

"Okay. You have to pay attention. The antiques in this kind of auction don't have to be strictly appraised. The main key point is to let those bidders have room for imagination. Otherwise, it would be impossible to auction them. Good price."

Lin Zhizhong was a smart man, he understood Fang Ming's meaning as soon as he heard it, and said, "Okay, I understand."

Fang Ming waved his hand and left, while Lin Zhizhong returned to the store and continued to greet those who were still in the reception room.

"Oh, Boss Lin, it seems that you value Fang Ming very much."

As soon as Lin Zhizhong sat down, Peng Zhou smiled and spoke.

Lin Zhizhong picked up the teacup, poured tea for everyone, and said, "It's not wrong. To be honest, although Lin Zhizhong's appraisal skills are so-so, I have traveled all over the years, and I have seen this person a lot. Especially in our industry, we have never seen anyone like Fang Ming."

"It's not an exaggeration, is it?"

Wu Tian blew into the teacup, then drank it, with a disbelieving expression on his face.

"We are all people in the circle. I think you have heard about Fang Ming's previous events, so I don't need to say more."

Lin Zhizhong smiled, and continued: "This time, you are all here at the exhibition. If I guess correctly, there will be something good to watch soon."

Wu Tian was taken aback, put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "Ah? What do you mean? There will be a good show soon? What good show? Is this good show related to Fang Ming?"

The people in front of me all set up shop in other places, of course it is impossible for them to set up shop in a big place like the capital, in fact, they mainly set up shop in some small places, so Lin Zhizhong decided to express his opinion after hesitating: "Of course, If it's not related to Fang Ming, who is it related to?"

Pengzhou glared at Lin Zhizhong at this time, and said, "Boss Lin, don't say anything, just tell us what's going on."

Who doesn't have the heart of gossip?

To some extent, the antique collection world is also a place of gossip. All kinds of battles and "legends" about picking up leaks are everywhere, and the scope of spread through word of mouth is very wide.Now Lin Zhizhong's expression is clearly a big gossip, it's no wonder everyone's curiosity is not aroused.

"You are all members of the circle. To be honest, what do you think of Dongcheng Street?"

Lin Zhizhong did not directly answer Pengzhou's question, but asked a rhetorical question.

Wu Tian hesitated for a while, and finally nodded, and said: "Yes, to be honest, the development here in Dongcheng Street is really quite good, completely beyond my imagination. I have been to some shops to see, antiques The average quality is very good, and to some extent it is not inferior to some well-known places in Beijing."

"Well, yes, I feel that way too."

"Yeah, I think so too. Before I came here, I just heard that the development here is quite good, but after seeing it with my own eyes, I was even more surprised."

"After I came here yesterday, I bought an antique in a store. Oh, I've been looking for it for three years, but I never thought I could find it here."

……

Wu Tian's words aroused a burst of echoes. Naturally, these people have traveled all over the country and are well-informed. In the past, Ningdong City was a small antique street. Then Dongcheng Street appeared, and it seemed to be very promising.

"Okay, let me ask again, do you think Dongcheng Street can be compared to the capital if it continues to develop? Or even if it is not as good as the capital, it can still threaten the status and distribution of the capital to a certain extent." its market share?"

Pengzhou thought for a while, finally shook his head, and said: "It's impossible to compare with the capital, at least in the past few years, don't think about it. But if you just want to threaten the capital It is still possible to take away a certain market share or take a certain share of the market. No, judging from the current situation, it is certain. Heh, at least some of us have come here? You know We all went to the capital before."

"Snapped!"

Lin Zhizhong patted himself on the thigh and said, "Yes, we all thought so. Think about it, what would those veterans of big antique shops in the capital think?"

Pengzhou pondered for a moment, hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Well... you said they don't want Dongcheng Street to develop?"

At this moment, Wu Tian suddenly remembered something, and said, "This... I heard that Song Miao and Lin acted as them not long ago? How many times have you fought with Fang Ming?"

"Yes, Boss Lin, tell me, is there such a thing?"

"Heh, Boss Lin, you have the advantage of being close to the water, so tell us about it."

……

In fact, this matter has already spread in the circle, but Wu Tian and others only heard about it. Now they think that Lin Zhizhong has been in Dongcheng Street all the time, so they should know more about this matter.

Lin Zhizhong laughed, nodded, and said, "It's not wrong, of course there is such a thing. Moreover, in the end, Dongcheng Street is still fine, and Fang Ming is also fine."

"Isn't it? Is this true?"

"Song Miao is a master among the masters in our circle, and she can't deal with that Fang Ming just now?"

"This Fang Ming looks like a young guy, so powerful?"

"There is also the Lin family. That Lin Zuo is not an ordinary person. In our circle, they are all people who stomp their feet and shake their feet, but they are all devastated when they come to Dongcheng Street."

"It seems that people can't show their looks these days, and sea water can't be measured!"

"This is really a good show to watch."

"Fang Ming is quite courageous, he dares to fight the Song family and the Lin family."

……

As soon as Lin Zhizhong said that this matter was true, everyone exploded. In the circle of antiques, the Song family and the Lin family belonged to the tall one. At least they would not dare to compete with the Song family and the Lin family. of.

However, Fang Ming dared to block the opponent back, which is a rare thing in the circle.
