Chapter 809 Arriving at the West Market Antique Market for the First Time
After a few cups of tea, the topic of Fang Ming and Sun Xi also gradually changed from small talk to serious business. After all, Fang Ming didn't come here to play, but came here with a purpose.

"Boss Fang, you just said that you want to come here to take a look? I don't know which aspect of our market you want to know? Come and listen to me, I will make arrangements for you, and I will definitely let you see the situation here in our market. real situation."

Sun Xi said softly while pouring tea for Fang Ming. Fang Ming had called him before, so he was naturally clear about Fang Ming's purpose for coming here.

Fang Ming is very welcome to come here to take a look. As the saying goes, he is the buyer of the goods. If Fang Ming is not willing to cooperate with him, then he just needs to deal with himself casually, and he will not come at all. Take a look here yourself, and since you are here, it means that Fang Ming, Dongcheng Street and even Fanyuan represented by him are here with great sincerity.

At the same time, he didn't make any preparations, he was planning to let Fang Ming see the real situation in the West Market Antique Market. He has been in business for many years, and he understands that there is no need to hide such things. , not only let Fang Ming see the real situation, but the more real the better, so that Fang Ming can have a correct judgment on the real situation of the entire market, so that there will be no disputes in the future, and it is also beneficial to each other. Collaboration—The more you know about the real situation in the market when making a plan for collaboration, the better.

On the contrary, if Fang Ming deliberately conceals the real situation just to be able to achieve cooperation, it is considered cooperation. When Fang Ming finds out the real situation in the future, even if he doesn't say anything, he must have something in his heart. In the process, they will definitely come up with other ways, which is definitely not conducive to mutual cooperation.

"Well, I also believe that I will definitely see the true side of Fanyuan. I'm not worried about this issue at all. Otherwise, I wouldn't have called you, Boss Sun, in advance."

Fang Ming naturally understood what Sun Xi really meant by saying this, and he really believed that Sun Xi would never hide himself in such a matter, and Sun Xi must have figured out the stakes here.In fact, the more experienced Jianghu is, the less he will hide such things. Cooperation is a long-term thing, and concealment is meaningless—just like Fang Ming's own plan, if Sun Xi or Xishi's If a person wants to see the real situation of Dongcheng Street and Fanyuan, he will "bring out" the most real side. The reason is the same.

Sun Xi nodded lightly, "What shall we go see later?"

"I don't have any special purpose this time, just to take a look around. However, if we want to cooperate, there will be a formal inspection, but that is not my business. At that time, Song Miao will lead this They will conduct formal market research and research. The purpose of doing this is twofold. One is to confirm whether DX City can cooperate. At the same time, the results of this market survey are also for the next step Provide information on cooperation plans.”

Sun Xi thought for a while, and immediately understood the meaning of Fang Ming's words.

First of all, this time Fang Ming came here just to have a look, without any specific purpose, which means that Fang Ming looked at random things, he might want to see anything, or he could see whatever he encountered.Second, Fang Ming's coming this time does not mean that the cooperation between the two parties will definitely be achieved. What really plays a decisive role is the results of investigation and research by Song Miao and her team.

However, this does not mean that Fang Ming's visit this time is not important, on the contrary, Fang Ming's arrival is very important, because everything he saw this time, or the impression left on him by the antique market in West Market How did it decide whether Song Miao would come or not.

"Okay, no problem, let's go take a look now?"

Fang Ming nodded, stood up, and said, "Okay."

Fang Ming and Sun Xi walked out together, and when they left the door, the two walked casually.

Fang Ming quickly nodded secretly in his heart. Before coming here, he had already learned about Xishi, especially Sun Xi through some channels. Judging from the information he learned, Sun Xi has two characteristics. One is that he has a very high status in the West Market and even in the whole country's antique circle. The second and most important point is that this person is very cautious, and his work can be described as leak-tight. That is to say, Sun Xi's way of doing things is that he would rather miss opportunities than take risks.

Fang Ming didn’t have any special feeling for this kind of personality traits when he read the information before, but now it’s completely different. He really felt Sun Xi’s personality traits deeply—even though Sun Xi was walking with him at this time, , seeming to be side by side, but in fact they are half a step behind.

At the beginning, Fang Ming didn't notice this. After all, even if two people walked together, it was impossible for them to maintain the same speed. But soon he found that no matter how fast or how fast he walked, Slow down, Sun Xi is always half a step behind him, if it is reasonable to say once and again, it will be strange to keep like this.

After being a bit surprised for a while, Fang Ming immediately wanted to understand why Sun Xi did this: Although he said before that he was taking him around to the end, and he also expressed his belief that Sun Xi would let him see the real side Yes, but in fact, Sun Xi is very cautious, always half a step behind him, in order to let him decide which direction to go and which store to visit, that is to say, he leaves the decision-making power to himself!
Be careful!

Really very careful!

It is not easy for Sun Xi to be able to do this in such a matter, and it can also be seen from this that Sun Xi's true character can be seen.

Regarding this point, although Fang Ming could see it, he wouldn't tell the truth, as long as he knew many things in his own mind, in fact, from this, it can be seen that Sun Xi is indeed a good partner for cooperation.

Doing business is very complicated to say, but it is also very simple to say. The reason why it is complicated is that too many things in the business field are changing rapidly. If there is no ability, there will definitely be problems.But if it is simple, it is also very simple, that is, we must be careful and walk on thin ice, so that no matter what kind of things arise, we can solve them immediately.

Therefore, since Sun Xi has such a personality, it is of course a good thing for the cooperation between them. Fang Ming felt that he should be lucky.

Especially considering that Sun Xi's status in the circle can still achieve such a level, it is even more rare.

Fang Ming walked casually, chatting with Sun Xi while walking, but his eyes were also looking at the surrounding situation.

He is not very familiar with such a situation, and he has never been here before, so there is no need to say where he must go to see it. On the contrary, he feels that he can see a lot of real faces by walking around like this.

After walking for a while, Fang Ming found that the situation here was quite good.

The place where he and Sun Xi are walking now is a small street in an antique market. It can be seen that this small street is not the best location in the market, so it is not the most lively place.But even so, everything Fang Ming saw was very good.

In terms of people, there were not too many people, and it could even be said to be a little deserted, but Fang Ming discovered two details.

One is that although there are few people at this time, all the shops have opened their doors, and the fronts are cleaned very cleanly. If you look in from the open shop doors, you can see that the furnishings inside are very neat.

This is a very important signal, that is, the business here must be very good.Whether a place makes money or not, in fact, the flow of people is not the number one priority, especially in the antique industry. You must know that the antique industry is a typical example of "not going to the market for ten years, and eating the market for ten years". However, the flow of people at a certain point in time is not a common situation.The easiest way to judge is to look at the hygiene and furnishings of the store, etc.: If the hygiene of the store is good and the furnishings are neat, then needless to say, the business must be very good.The reason is that only when the business is good can the shopkeeper have such a mind to take care of such things, otherwise the shopkeeper will become lazy and will not deal with these things.

Now Fang Ming sees that the situation in this aspect is very good, and considering that the location of the small street is not very good, this situation is even more illustrative.

In addition, there is another "sign" to consider, that is, not only the flow of people coming and going, but also whether those people are shopping or not.

The business in a place, even if there is a huge flow of people, but they are all watching, that is not very interesting. Ten people who walk around just talking and not practicing are not worth one person who buys things.

Fang Ming just looked at it for a while and found that although there was not a lot of people, many people who entered the store came out after a while with a box—this meant that the business was done!

That's the most important thing!
good!very good!
After walking casually for an hour, Fang Ming immediately came up with such a general impression.

Sun Xi walked beside Fang Ming. Apart from chatting with Fang Ming or briefly introducing the situation, he spent more time observing Fang Ming.

He knows every corner of the antique market in the West Market very well, and this one is no exception, but he is not worried about the "cold" situation at this time.
