Future Stamps and Coins Diary

Chapter 145: Investing in Collection
After a few busy days at Zhongbo Trading Center, the number of people coming to entrust their business has gradually decreased.

According to Huang Doudou's statistics, the total custodial market value of Jianguo banknotes this time has exceeded 1.2 million yuan, which is basically a bundle of goods.

Still a bit too limiting!

Before leaving for Shanghai, Lu Feng thought silently in his heart.

"Based on the circulation of Jianguo banknotes, even if the losses are removed, the market value should be 1 billion. We have been collecting for so long, but we have only collected less than %. We still need to work harder."

On the plane to Shanghai, Lu Feng said to Huang Doudou beside him.

It was the first time for both of them to fly, so they seemed a little nervous and tried to keep their voices as low as possible.

Despite this, there are still many strange looks around me.

Huang Doudou said seriously, "More than 100 million for a single variety is already pretty good. This is almost the limit of the entire Guangzhou market. Zhongnan also issued a solicitation notice after we issued the solicitation notice. I secretly asked someone and found that they only solicited 4 to 5 million worth of goods."

"So little?" Lu Feng was a little surprised.

"It's not that many to begin with. Their customer base is also limited, basically the merchants in the market. The bulk of the Jianguo banknotes have been almost bought out by us. Even if they want to support us, they have no source of goods." Huang Doudou said truthfully.

We chatted all the way and arrived at Pudong Airport a few hours later.

Just after picking up my luggage, I saw two eye-catching bags in the airport reception hall.

Ma Liang and Xian Ruijin were dressed in the same outfit and held a banner in their hands. "Welcome Mr. Lu and Mr. Dou to come and give us your guidance."

Amidst more strange looks, the four of them walked side by side, talking and laughing.

The collection office is located in an office building next to the Shanghai Lugong Stamp and Coin Trading Market.

It is less than 600 meters away from the Lugong Gymnasium at No. , Jumen Road, where the Lugong Trading Market is located.

Lu Feng and Huang Doudou had long yearned for Lugong. After all, this second largest distribution center in the country, which claims to control half of the stamp market, is only slightly lower in status than the BJ Madian Stamp, Coin and Card Market on Huangsi Street.

Therefore, Ma Liang and Xian Ruijin's itinerary was to take the two of them to the market for a walk first.

In the Lugong Gymnasium, Lu Feng and Huang Doudou walked around silently and were finally brought to Ma Liang’s stall, “Laoma Stamp and Coin Shop”.

This small stall with a counter length of only three meters is located in a small corner of the market.

Lu Feng took a quick look and found that the items on sale were quite miscellaneous.

According to the practice of the stamp and coin market, the more diverse the business, the weaker the strength. The real big players focus on one sector, such as gold and silver coins, commemorative coins, or conjoined banknotes, old stamps, etc.

The diversity shows that the company is unable to make a profit from a single sector and can only pick up some bones here and take a sip of the leftover soup from the big players there.

Most of the people who usually trade are individual customers, not to mention the market position.

"I'm sorry to bother you two." Ma Liang suddenly became a little shy.

The stall is usually managed by his wife, and Ma Liang focuses his main energy on collecting art online.

After showing Lu Feng around the market and sitting at his stall for less than two minutes, the four of them returned to the collection office.

Lu Feng clearly felt the restraint of Ma Liang and Xian Ruijin.

Obviously, whether it is Lao Ma Coin Shop or Jizang.com, their position in the market is just like that stall in Lugong.

It was only when he arrived at the collection office that Lu Feng truly felt their difficulties.

The office is less than 30 square meters. In addition to Ma Liang's independent office that can only accommodate a set of desks and chairs, there is only a small open space with four blue workstations, a table against the wall for storing sundries, and a water dispenser next to it. Even wires and sockets can be seen everywhere. Not to mention decoration, there is not even any extra embellishment.

Huang Doudou remained silent all the way, as if affected by the emotions of the two people.

"Mr. Ma also has an independent office, that's great!" Lu Feng walked into Ma Liang's office and deliberately teased him.

Sure enough, Xian Ruijin followed suit and blamed him, "I suggested that we just call the number, but this guy insisted on making one himself. Besides me, there are only two of his relatives here, and I don't know who he wants to show off to, maybe the cleaning lady."

"Ah? You even have a cleaning lady. This configuration is simply amazing." Huang Doudou also exclaimed, turned to look at Lu Feng and said, "Boss Lu, look at what they have. We don't even have a water dispenser."

Lu Feng touched his nose and said awkwardly: "Let's go to the second-hand market to buy one when we get back."

"Water dispensers are free when you buy bottled water. They're free, Mr. Lu," Xian Ruijin reminded.

"Really?" Lu Feng's eyes lit up. "It doesn't cost money, why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Buy another refrigerator to store Coke in." Huang Doudou took the opportunity to increase the price and sell the big refrigerator that he, Wu Xin and Liu Chang had been thinking about for a long time.

"Let's wait for the refrigerator. Summer is almost over anyway." Lu Feng thought seriously and replied.

Huang Doudou cursed: "Stingy!"

Amid everyone's laughter, the atmosphere finally became a little more harmonious.

Lv Feng then said, "Mr. Ma, Mr. Xian, I came to Shanghai this time for two purposes. One of them is to see if we can reach a deeper level of cooperation."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Liang and Xian Ruijin looked at each other.

We are all smart people, so many things don't need to be explained too clearly.

During this period, Lu Feng used so much money and methods to maintain the traffic and popularity of the collection. The two of them saw it with their own eyes and felt warm in their hearts.

"Mr. Lu, just tell us. As long as we can do it..." Ma Liang's heartbeat quickened.

"Then I won't be polite." Lu Feng took a deep breath and continued, "I want to inject capital into Ji Zang, transform Ji Zang, and increase the promotion of Ji Zang."

"Is there a plan?" Xian Ruijin interrupted.

Lu Feng shook his head: "Time is too tight, and I'm not good at making plans. I just have a preliminary idea."

"First of all, there is no doubt that I will stick to Mr. Ma's fan circle thinking, but I want to add something on this basis. Connect the celebrity collections with people. For each variety, introduce a manager similar to Yichen moderator. There is only one requirement for the manager, that is, he must look good."

Ma Liang and Xian Ruijin frowned deeply, as if thinking about the purpose of Lu Feng's action.

Lv Feng's voice continued: "The fan culture of stamps and coins, while being surrounded by collections, should also consider the issue of subsequent profitability of the website. Liu Jiajia's channel is a good start, but it is hard to say how long it will last. It is difficult to support the development of collections by relying on just one channel or one hot spot. So a new trend must be formed..."

Lu Feng currently expressed some of the network changes recorded in his diary that occurred after 2020 in another way.

Unfortunately, the Internet at that time certainly could not support live broadcasts or the like.

The thing called “Tik Tok” in the diary does sound interesting.

However, in Lu Feng's view, if the collection is to be expanded, it is also necessary to move towards the future trend, and now we can start trying to create several IPs in the industry.

“Only when there is competition can there be topics, and only when there are topics can there be traffic,” Lu Feng concluded.
