On this day, the Cangben Auction attracted the attention of most people in Yanjing City. Looking at the entire Panjiayuan antique market, almost everyone had a mobile phone, and they were always paying attention to the real-time event of the auction.

Everyone will feel sorry for the old man and feel sorry for the old man when he saw the scene where Chen Jiangnan was forcibly hacked.

When everyone sees that the child who was invited by the Japanese islanders spent 2.9 million to buy the cultivation elixir of the eighth-rank master, they will also smile knowingly. The doorway in the antique world is clear.

When everyone saw Shen Qiu standing up at the last moment, the familiar feeling of counterattack came again. The story Shen Qiu told was plain and ordinary, but for some reason, the bosses of Panjiayuan and the others were so familiar with it. Their blood boiled, even though they were in the shop in Panjiayuan Market, their hearts seemed to have flown in to fight with Shen Qiu.

……

Changyangxuan Antique Shop.

Changyangxuan, as the store of the Qin family of the four major families, can also be regarded as a time-honored shop in Yanjing Antique Street, but I don't know where to start. Changyangxuan's business is getting worse day by day. The reputation of the family is getting worse day by day, which directly affects the business of the store.

Just half a year ago, Changyangxuan’s daily turnover could exceed 100 million on average, but now it only sold a white porcelain jar from the Ming Dynasty in a week, worth [-]. Now there is not a single customer in the lobby.

Some people will say that the antique business has not opened for three years and opened for three years. You can tell that this is a layman who said it. Looking at whether there is an antique shop with the surname Panjiayuan, let alone three years, it will open in three days. , the shopkeeper has to be anxious like ants on a hot pot. If it is delayed and does not open for 30 days, then the store will not be far from closing down.

In fact, the business of Changyangxuan is not much better than if it does not open for a month. It is undeniable that except for the Mao family, the other three major families are all going backwards. Under Rong'er's leadership, money can be credited to the account every day, but the Qin family's situation is quite special.

This is completely a cliff-like falling parabola. During this period, the Qin family also thought of a lot of tricks to save business flow, such as inviting experts to appraise treasures for free, inviting treasure appraisers to give special lectures, and even held a special promotional activity for antiques. The effects of these methods were not satisfactory. In just two months, Changyangxuan's cumulative sales reached 18, and the loss of various expenses reached 1900 million. Compared with the results at this stage last year, there is simply a world of difference.

noon.

An old lady in her 90s walked into Changyangxuan slowly. The shop assistants of Changyangxuan stood in awe and looked respectful. Facing the old man, they cheered in unison: "Good morning, ancestor!"

The ancestor personally came to the store to inspect it. Looking up, there were more than ten shop assistants in the huge store, but the customer could not find one. The most ironic thing is that the Baijia antique store diagonally opposite is at this moment. Gathered a group of Yanjing veterans chatting about antiques, and the laughter of the men could be heard from far away. Changyangxuan never lacked customers. Can't hit a customer with a stick.

"Hey, why are you here, ancestor!"

Qin Gui, Qin Hao, father and son went out to greet them, and greeted them to make tea and snacks for the ancestors, with an unusually enthusiastic attitude.

"No need!" The ancestor came alone. He was wearing a black half-open gown and a pair of black-rimmed presbyopic glasses on his eye sockets. At first glance, he looked like an old lady walking in the park. It will link her with the ancestors of the Qin family.

"I've read the bills for the past few months. It can be said that this is the worst half-year sales since the Qin family founded Changyangxuan. As one of the four major families, the total sales of the Qin family in the past six months are not as good as Pan's. Homeland is an inconspicuous shop. I don’t know what you father and son think. Anyway, I’m walking on the street, and I don’t dare to raise my head to meet people because I’m so ashamed! It’s just that you father and son are here today. I think Listen to your thoughts, as well as some thoughts on the future of Changyangxuan."

Qin Gui, Qin Hao, father and son stood respectfully, and Qin Hao spoke first.

"Old Ancestor, I have also summed up a few points during this period. This is also the main reason for the decline of Changyangxuan during this period. The first is because Yanjing has a number of traffic stores, such as Shen Qiu's Xuanbaozhai, Teacher Chang's Changyang Qingshu Antique Store and these stores combine modern Internet thinking, coupled with the advertising and Internet celebrity effects of the Internet age, the traffic of these stores has increased exponentially, and the Yanjing Antique World itself is equivalent to a huge fish pond , there are only so many fish in total, if others eat too much, there is not much left in our mouths, Changyangxuan has not kept up with the pace of Internet dividends!"

"The second reason is our Changyangxuan itself. The current market situation of antiques is very different from the way of operation in the past. In the past, people bought and sold antiques and looked for a time-honored antique shop, but now ? Depends on three words, exposure!"

"I don't know if the ancestors have noticed that in the past two years, the stores with higher exposure and discussion will have higher business sales. The more typical ones are like the Mao family. Two hot incidents broke out that were linked to antiques and antiques. Last year alone, they appeared on the news page eight times. In addition, the Mao family casino has its own hot spots, so the popularity of the Mao family has always remained high. As the four major families Being at the top of the list, his family's sales performance crushed the other three families, and even the other three families combined could not match the Mao family!"

"There is also the obvious example of Shen Qiu. Since Shen Qiu came to Yanjing City, relying on his own unique experience, he abruptly hyped himself to the top of the popularity, and his exposure was almost on par with the Mao family. So we On the other hand, looking at Xuanbaozhai, although Xuanbaozhai’s business is not as good as that of Mao’s, relying on Shen Qiu’s high popularity, it has never been short of traffic. Even at the end of last year, Xuanbaozhai’s debt was more than 2000 million. In a month's time, Xuan Baozhai not only wiped out the debt, but also made tens of millions of profits, and the sales volume for this year is enough to rank among the top five antique shops in Yanjing!"

"The last point is also very important. I don't know if my ancestors have heard of it. Recently, there have been a lot of ghost artifacts dug out of the ground in Panjiayuan's market, and many shops have taken the initiative to sell ghost artifacts. The purchase price of the utensils is low, the appearance is well preserved, and the profit is several times. Didn’t you say it a long time ago? Changyangxuan does not accept and sell dark utensils, which is also one of the important reasons for the decline in Changyangxuan’s business !"

The old ancestor listened carefully to the statement of the father and son, and first shook his head and vetoed a sentence: "I want to correct you a little, you can clearly hear the jealousy of Shen Qiu in your tone, the reason why Shen Qiu and Xuan Baozhai can achieve today's achievements , This is closely related to his personal superb ability in appraising treasures. Although he is not from the Qin family, it is not an exaggeration for the old man to say that he is a once-in-a-century genius in the treasure appraising world. Unexpectedly, what a pity, what a pity! Back then, Shen Qiu almost became the son-in-law of our Qin family!"

"Let's talk about the ghost weapon. This rule is set by me, and no further compromises are allowed. The ghost weapon affects the business? This is just the reason for your father and son to argue. Shen Qiu's Xuanbaozhai sells the ghost. Is it a device? Does Mr. Chang’s Changqingshu sell ghost devices, and Shengshi Dian Collection, which is also a time-honored brand, sells ghost devices? Aren’t their shops extremely popular?”

The old ancestor sighed, and continued: "Tell me, what are your father and son's plans for the next Changyangxuan's predicament? I'm not afraid to tell you. I'll give you a month. , if the business situation of Changyangxuan does not improve, you father and son should consider retiring early. Recently, Qin Hu has performed well, and Qin Qinlei has been quite reliable. I plan to let them take over the management of Changyangxuan ..."

Qin Gui and Qin Hao, father and son, looked at each other.

"Old Ancestor, I can understand your feelings!"

Qin Guichao made a gesture of invitation to his ancestor: "Ancestor, please come with me! In less than a month, we have already planned it. In the next period of time, Changyang Xuan will become the most dazzling existence in Yanjing's antique world ! Grandfather, please look here!"
