Nine-tiered fairy lotus

Chapter 290

The news of the credit in the bank card "ding dong", is a series of large numbers.When the phone rang, Hu Tu picked up the phone and took a look. The sculptures in his hand were ruined one by one, and he didn't feel any distress.

"Ding dong", Hu Tu took out his mobile phone within a second, "Sold another one." Looking at the number of credits, 37, "Oh, it's still a big sum." When he was happy, he called Mr. Chen, when he asked, it turned out that the bamboo incense tube was sold.He was very happy, "I didn't expect this incense tube to be really valuable. I thought it would be the best if it could sell for 30 yuan. And more than 30 yuan was sold in just a few days."

After an hour or so, "Ding dong", Hu Tu took out his mobile phone again, "Hey, I sold something again!" Looking at the number received, [-], "Not bad." Call Mr. Chen again, It is said to be a plate from the Qing Dynasty.The pellets are in the warehouse, not bad.

Mr. Chen said: "Mr. Hu, the business here is very good. The stock in the store is getting less and less every day. Can you get some more?"

Of course, this is an exaggeration. No matter how good the business is, it is a valuable antique after all. It takes time to ship it, and it is impossible to sell it just like selling vegetables.

But Mr. Chen has expressed his attitude.In his eyes, Hu Tu is not doing his job properly.

Because this antique shop is so hot now, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is making money every day, but Hu Tu still thinks about carving and farming.It's a pity that he doesn't have the ability to go wild, if he can pick up leaks wherever he goes, hey, it's no wonder he doesn't wander around Panjiayuan every day.

Take some more out?It's not that they can't get it out, Hutu still has a lot in stock, but he has some concerns, after all, he has a guilty conscience.If others find out, what will they say, discover his secret, or say that he helps the underworld to sell stolen goods?Needless to say, his actions are no different from selling stolen goods!
Not only that, but Hu Tu was often blocked when he was shopping in Panjiayuan.Why do you say that?There is no impenetrable wall in this world. He delivered things to the store every day. Naturally, someone asked the source of the things, and when they learned that Pan Jiayuan got them, he thought he was a capable person.

Although Hu Tu has always been low-key and never shows up at all, but the old saying goes well, Fu has distant relatives in the mountains, and those who are capable will naturally be asked.It's not like he's hiding in a mouse hole, so if he wants to inquire about it, he will naturally find out.What's more, there are many videos of him on the Internet!

On this day of the ghost market, Hu Tu went to wait at the corner of Panjiayuan as usual, but he came not early, only 10 minutes early.Someone came up and asked, "Hey, isn't this Mr. Hu from Qinghe Antique Shop? Hello, hello." Qinghe Antique Shop is the new small shop opened by Hu Tu, and the name follows the name of the cold storage.

Hu Tu took a look under the weak light, and saw that the man's eyes were wrinkled. He was wrapped in a black coat and a black wool cap, but he was an unfamiliar face.Listening to this man's words, he was very polite, and took the initiative to take off his leather gloves and stretched out his hand. Hu Tu shook hands with him and said, "Hello, we don't seem to have seen each other before."

"This is the first time I've seen you." The man introduced himself, "My surname is Zhou, and my name is Changmin. I bought a piece of ancient jade in your store yesterday, and I heard your story. Thinking about today's ghost market, you must I won’t miss it, I came here specifically to look for you. Hey, I really met you. I didn’t expect Mr. Hu to be so young. If I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I would never believe it.”

"Where is it?" Hu Tu scratched his head, "I'm just lucky, I don't have any skills."

Zhou Changmin said: "You are so humble. What is good luck? As long as you can pick up leaks, that is real skill." He lowered his voice, "Besides, there are so many goods in your store, it can't be all luck."

Hu Tu hesitated and hawed guiltily, chatted with this person in the corner for a while, and finally asked when he was about to open the door: "Mr. Zhou, come out to do business, keep a low profile, and please keep it secret for me."

Zhou Changmin naturally would not refuse to agree, but it was useless for him to agree, at most he could only guarantee that he would not say much, and he could not guarantee that others would not know from other channels, then there was no way.

With such a person around, Hu Tu would naturally be more low-key.Be more careful not only when buying things, but also when mixing things in.Now that his reputation is not obvious, it will be passable for a while, but he knows that this is not a long-term solution after all.

So, he complained to Wang Pinqiu and discussed countermeasures.She advised him to sell modern art, and only boutiques.She said: "It's a small store. You can't put many things, just some high-quality goods. You can choose the form of consignment sales. You don't want to make a lot of money. You can use these high-quality goods to impress customers-this is It’s a boutique. That way, there’s a win-win partnership, and rich customers don’t leave empty-handed.”

When opening a store, the most important thing is cash flow and supply flow. There must be something to sell in the store.Hu Tu thinks this suggestion is very good, so he will do so.And he is not familiar with the place here, and he is not sure what to sell, so he entrusts this job to Wang Pinqiu.

Wang Pinqiu has her own career to be busy, so she doesn't want to do this. She entrusted this matter to her "dear school girl"——Xu Qiuyu, and got it done in her spare time.

She occupies half of the two walls in the shop.A theme is formulated one by one every month, such as porcelain special, purple sand special, jade special, etc., and the best works are selected for each theme.Not to mention that, she also dispatched a gold medal salesperson from the store to sit in the store and be responsible for promoting and introducing those works.

Of course, as a friend, Xu Qiuyu came here to help. Naturally, Hu Tu couldn't charge a lot of commissions. He only charged 5% including taxes, which was basically a cost price.If she hadn't brought her own salesperson, Hu Tu would still have to lose money.

But Hu Tu readily agreed.Because this not only solves a small part of his problems, but also repays her friendship for purchasing his works in the first place.

As for another problem - how to ensure the supply flow of antiques?Mr. Chen came up with many ideas.

For example, go to the countryside to shovel land and get some low-end small items; he can also go to his acquaintances, some people have a backlog of good things because they don’t have good shipping channels, and they can collect them; Various antique exchange groups, antique websites, forums and other places have a group of fixed receiving bosses.Low value direct express inspection, cash on delivery.If the value is high, simply drive to the door to pick up the goods.

Of course, Hu Tu needs to be in charge of purchasing this part in person, which is also the point that Mr. Chen especially emphasized.

In the past two years, Mr. Chen has been running around all day, responsible for selling things for Hu Tu. He has gained considerable confidence and experience in this, but he still has a psychological shadow about shopping.He doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, even if Hu Tu trusts him, he is determined not to be the master and accept the goods.

Hu Tu was absent-minded about this, his goal was to sell as many items as he could, and it didn't matter if the store couldn't keep going, as long as the items that should be sold could be sold, that was enough.

However, he is very happy to have another store under his name that is making money every day, but not everything is perfect. For example, he encountered many problems in the process of shopping for goods in Panjiayuan.
