He Ren opened his mouth but did not refute. To be honest, Xu Qingjie's conditions were already very generous, and anyone would agree to it.
It's nothing more than a right of first refusal, and it won't hinder He Ren from making money. He won't suffer at all.
In fact, Xu Qingjie was not at a disadvantage. There were not many young appraisers with good eyesight like He Ren who could pick up mistakes. Zhou Wei was a once-in-a-century genius boy in the antique circle. Wasn't He Ren pressing him to the ground and rubbing him?
Not only did he lose all his treasured bracelets in "Dabaojian", but when he went to the auction before, He Ren's five paintings could accurately tell the history and problems. What about Zhou Wei? It’s just soy sauce.
The two basically finalized their cooperation intentions at the door, and Xu Qingjie took He Ren upstairs to visit.
Once inside, He Rencai felt that the store that looked big enough from the outside was actually even bigger inside.
The prototype of the hall on the first floor has been taken shape, and there is a circle of golden nanmu shelves around it, where some porcelain and ornaments can be placed.
Although they are all modern, they cost hundreds of thousands in total. Xu Qingjie is indeed a generous spender.
When he looked at the middle, He Ren realized what a big deal meant. It was actually a rosewood incense burner with a large painted table, and it looked like a whole board.
He Ren hurried forward and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing it clearly. It was Burmese rosewood, and it had not yet arrived. It could be bought for tens of thousands of yuan. But there is also a piece of Duanshi Tea Sea placed on it. This tea sea is more expensive than the painting table below, at least ten thousand yuan.
Surrounded by four rosewood armchairs, they were from the mid-Qing Dynasty and cost hundreds of thousands.
He Ren was dumbfounded, but Xu Qingjie showed off, "How is it? Not bad, right? If the family hadn't been so tight, I could have moved my dad's Hainan Huanghuali table over."
"Better say goodbye..."
He Ren has never seen such a deceitful person, "It's just an ordinary shop, so it's better not to use too expensive furniture."
"Well, it's not easy to maintain. Let's go upstairs and have a look."
There is an area of more than 200 square meters on the second floor, which is divided into five or six rooms. Xu Qingjie gestured there, "Two rooms will be used as reception rooms, two rooms will be reserved for us to use as offices, and the remaining rooms will be used as tea rooms for employees." Or the lounge…”
He Ren asked doubtfully, "Where is the warehouse?"
"upstairs."
Xu Qingjie pointed to the stairs and took He Ren upstairs. He Ren saw that the good guys started again. There was not only a large warehouse on the third floor, but also three small rooms.
When you open the door, you can see that two of them are lounges, which are fully equipped with sofas, beds, and electrical appliances...
Seeing that He Ren was a little confused, Xu Qingjie smiled and said, "When you are tired, just go upstairs and sleep. We don't want to make money with this thing. It's best to take it easy."
He Ren curled his lips, he still wanted to make money...
"What's the last room for?"
"Oh, it's also a warehouse."
Xu Qingjie casually pushed open the door of the last room. There were three large safes neatly placed inside. He Ren was numb. Do they need to put so many things in the safe?
"This is what the initial decoration looks like. If you have any needs, you can ask me and I can help people make changes as soon as possible."
"Okay, it's pretty good. I usually stay in the lobby, watching the store and doing live broadcasts."
Xu Qingjie hesitated to speak. He felt that He Ren didn't have to be so tired at all. With He Ren's eyesight, it was enough to just pick things up and make a living. How could he live broadcast every day?
He Ren saw Xu Qingjie's doubts and grinned, "I love live broadcasts."
Xu Qingjie shrugged. He could understand He Ren's thoughts. He Ren liked live streaming, which was probably similar to his wanting to open an antique store.
Who doesn’t have a hobby anymore?
…
After finalizing the store, He Ren called Zhou Zhou and Wei Ruixiang respectively and told them that he was going to open a store.
He Ren wanted to get some goods from them.
Even if He Ren and Xu Qingjie decided to only make high-end products, the lobby on the first floor still needs something to decorate the facade.
He Ren plans to get a batch of mid-range jade and jade from Catfish, and the rest will be bought from the antique market.
Zhou Zhou would not refuse, of course. He was a middleman, but he felt it was a pity that customers like He Ren were very difficult to find. In the future, when people opened their own stores, they wouldn't be able to give him things to operate.
Wei Ruixiang also agreed immediately, and also gave He Ren a hint, saying that a colleague of his was planning to go abroad, and the entire store was selling out. If He Ren was interested, he could go shopping for goods.
This situation is also very common. In the past, when He Ren was able to pick up missing items on the street stalls, most of the time it was because someone quit and passed the goods on to others, and passed them on several times, so that the boss himself didn't even know he had treasures.
He Ren waited for more than half a month before Wei Ruixiang called and asked him to go to Panjiayuan to see the goods in the evening.
When they arrived at the place, He Ren realized that it turned out that the boss wanted to sell the shop together with the shop before, but the person who wanted to buy the shop planned to specialize in making jade and was not interested in the boss's things, and the boss was unwilling to take it apart and sell it, which was why it had been delayed for so long. .
Now the boss couldn't stand it anymore, and his family urged him again and again. Only then did he relax and said that he could let Wei Ruixiang and He Ren come over to pick the goods.
The boss's store is about 100 square meters, and it is very messy inside. All kinds of antique calligraphy and paintings are piled on the floor. It seems that it needs to be renovated and no attention is paid to maintenance.
Wei Ruixiang explained in a low voice, "Brother He, the boss's surname is Jiang. I'm not familiar with him. He's in a hurry."
He Ren nodded to indicate that he understood. What Wei Ruixiang meant was that he could not guarantee the authenticity of the items, but He Ren could lower the price severely.
This is not a problem for He Ren. Xu Qingjie's 20 million has already arrived. As for the authenticity of the things, he has no doubts. What does he have to fear?
Boss Jiang is a burly man. When he saw Wei Ruixiang and He Ren walking in, he immediately stepped forward to greet them, "Boss Wei, Boss He, I'm sorry, I'm too busy, so I missed the welcome."
Wei Ruixiang chuckled and said, "Old Jiang, I won't say any polite words. We know you are in a hurry, so just look at the goods."
Boss Jiang nodded, pointed at the antique calligraphy and paintings that had been divided into several piles, and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry. I really don't have the time and energy to accompany you all to pick them one by one. Let's just sell them in piles."
He Ren glanced at the things on the ground and was a little disappointed. Half of them were modern handicrafts. Occasionally there were a few items that seemed to be from the past, but most of them were from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and were of little value.
It seems that Boss Jiang has no sincerity. Either he usually does deceptive things, or he puts away the good things in advance.
He Ren thought it was the latter. He heard from Wei Ruixiang that Boss Jiang had opened a store in Panjiayuan for more than ten years. If he had been selling modern handicrafts to deceive customers, the store would have been destroyed long ago.
Wei Ruixiang had a displeased look on his face, "I'm telling you, Old Jiang, if people don't tell secrets, these things of yours are not as good as those set up at stalls outside. Bring out some real things, and the price will satisfy you."
Boss Jiang had a troubled look on his face and slapped his thigh, "Since Boss Wei said so, please come upstairs with me."
"Wait a minute." He Ren suddenly called out to Boss Jiang, who thought he was a good actor, "Boss Jiang, I'm opening a new store and I also need general items. Let's talk about the prices of the following items first."
Boss Jiang looked happy...
