"Little brother, please listen to my advice, you can't open an antique shop here."
The uncle frowned, but he didn't want to transfer it.
"The environment here is good, the shops are also good, and it must have been an antique shop before."
I said and smiled, "If you think the rent above is not enough, we can talk about it again."
I've looked at the rent, and it's indeed a bit cheap.
"Well, well, you're just asking for it."
With that said, the uncle signed a transfer agreement with us. After a while, the owner of the store came over and signed a contract with me. This store is now mine.
"Shen Fan, I think something is weird here. Is Uncle Seven trying to trick us?"
Sitting on the stairs of the rented store, Chen Cheng asked with a puzzled look, "I saw that several antique stores in Dongxing Pedestrian Street closed down. Is there something wrong?"
"Whatever, let's do our best first."
There are some words that I have not spoken out. I know that it is bound to be difficult to open up a confession here.
But if handled properly, it should become the third permanent antique store on this street.
Opening the door, the biggest problem is solved, the only thing left is people and goods.
The shopkeepers and sources of goods.
As for the headmaster, I will come in person, and it shouldn’t be a problem for Chen Cheng to be my partner.
"The store still needs to be renovated..."
I muttered to myself, calculating the next steps required.
"Leave these to me."
After hearing what I said, Chen Cheng smiled slightly and said, "Although I don't know much about antiques, I still know how to open a store."
She had worked in some stores, knew some people who were engaged in decoration, and had experience in managing stores.
These were all things she did before she really couldn't afford the money to go to sea.
"I'll leave the decoration to you, and I have to find some guys to help."
Chen Cheng and I split up, she went to contact the decoration and design people, while I went to Fumin Flower and Bird to hang out, hoping to borrow some from Li Baiming.
As soon as I walked to the intersection of Fu Min Hua Niao, I saw a familiar young man.
Isn't this the four-eyed boy who sold ancient coins at a low price to save his grandfather?
"Finally waiting for you!"
There was some excitement on the four-eyed boy's face.
I looked at a loss. In theory, we no longer owed each other anything, and I got him a normal purchase price for his ancient coins.
"Are you coming to buy something again?"
I frowned slightly, very puzzled.
"No, grandpa scolded me and asked me to repay my kindness to you."
After this four-eyed boy’s narration, I roughly understood the situation.
After his grandfather had the operation, he woke up and learned that he had sold ancient coins, and he was scolded.
But after learning that I helped him sell things at the "going rate" of the antique store, he put away his anger a little.
The four-eyed boy was ordered by his grandfather to squat here and wait for me whenever he has time, so that he can help me do things.
It's just that during that time, I happened to be on the ship, and the incident of bombing the ship happened, and then I spent a few days in Huzhou, which happened to be wrong.
"what's your name?"
"Can you be a gangster?"
I thought to myself that there was a shortage of people, so as long as he could do something, that would be great.
"My name is Lu Yunshan. You also know that I don't know anything about antiques...but if my benefactor doesn't dislike me, I can learn from it!"
"Okay, come with me first."
I nodded and told Lu Yunshan my name, and then took him all the way to Li Baibai's Antique Walk.
"Did you get good stuff again today?"
Li Mingming smiled when he saw me, then went to close the door and "close the door to discuss business."
"The goods are gone. I'm going to open a court and ask you to borrow a few people."
When I saw Li Mingming closing the door, I slowly said, "I'm going to be your companion."
"congratulations!"
Li Mingming cupped his hands and smiled, "If you find something good, you can come and spend time with me."
"That's natural."
Nodding slightly, "The matter of borrowing people..."
"I may not have that many people here, so I'll lend you two at most."
It can be seen that Li Mingming is very confused.
With my relationship, I can indeed borrow someone.
But as a competitor, he was somewhat reluctant.
"Just a transition, I will recruit people later."
"Two are fine. The main thing is that there are people who understand. I can save some time and teach you."
It was very generous of him to lend me two, so naturally I couldn't ask for anything more.
"Xiao Chen, Xiao Luo, come here..."
Li Mingming thought about it and called two guys.
After some communication, Xiao Chen and Xiao Luo will temporarily work here, and I will pay their wages.
Of course, the time my antique store is being renovated is also included in their "working hours."
"Thank you very much, Boss Li. I will have some good products in the future. I will definitely come over and chat with you."
I smiled, took two guys and Lu Yunshan and took a car to Dongxing Pedestrian Street.
"Brother Shen, this place is not open to business!"
When Ronaldinho arrived at the door of the store, his brows were furrowed and he was even a little nervous.
"how?"
"What's the story?"
I smiled easily, knowing of course that the "competition" here was so fierce that only two companies were left alive.
"I heard from our boss that the antique shop on this street has been open for less than three months."
"Only those Ronghua antiques and Xuanji antiques can survive."
Ronaldinho waved his hand and shook his head in rejection.
From what he had "heard", Ronghua Antiques and Xuanji Antiques had always been losing money, but they had stayed open because they had made more money in other areas.
"It's okay. You won't be here when the time comes. Please help me first."
I smiled and patted Xiao Luo on the shoulder, "Xiao Luo, Xiao Chen, this is Lu Yunshan. In the past few days, you can teach him how to be a gangster."
"Of course it may not be decorated inside yet, please give me a try."
After that, I walked into the store, and Chen Cheng was leading people to look at the store and prepare for decoration and design.
"Chen Cheng, please help take a look at these three."
I greeted Chen Cheng and left temporarily.
Now, there's just one last thing left.
goods!
I had some communication with antique shops and vendors before, and there was an antique mall near Hezhou Port.
Most of the goods in Hezhou come from here, whether they are black goods or white goods.
All are the biggest features.
Whether it is true or false depends entirely on the judgment of those who purchase the goods and pick them out.
Check out the store and chat about the store when you purchase goods.
I thought it was too far here and it would be too troublesome for Li Mingming to go back and forth, so I didn't come here.
In fact, just by picking up leaks, I can probably make several million within a month.
When I came to the edge of Hezhou Port again, I felt like things were different and people were different.
I didn't stay long and rushed to the mall immediately.
When I entered the mall, I just thought it was a hodgepodge of wholesale markets, filled with different types of antiques!
There are even two floors!
Come to the right place.
Some of the people walking around inside looked like they were picking up things, and there were also people who were dressed like owners of antique shops.
At this time, I started thinking about what I wanted to buy.
You can pick up whatever you want, but when you open your own store, you can't be careless.
