Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Jiang Hua was a little surprised when he heard Lin Ran's question.

Lin Ran continued: "Brother Jiang, I'm really presumptuous, but this matter is somewhat urgent."

"The store will officially open for business in a month. I have some skills in picking up leaks and appraising treasures, but I am still a newbie in terms of management."

"I really can't find anyone suitable to ask for advice. I would like to ask Brother Jiang to give me some advice."

Lin Ran seemed very sincere.

Jiang Hua just took a sip of tea.

As the saying goes, if you teach a disciple, you will starve the master.

Although Jiang Hua was willing to compete fairly with Lin Ran and even provide help to a certain extent.

But channels are really the lifeblood.

When Jiang Hua heard Lin Ran's request, he just frowned slightly and became thoughtful.

"Brother Lin, I understand your dilemma, but there are some things that I cannot share with others if I am willing to do so."

Jiang Hua's voice was low and firm.

Channels are of great importance, involving not only personal friendships, but also company interests.

Lin Ran looked at Jiang Hua, with a hint of understanding and respect in his eyes.

"Brother Jiang, I understand." Lin Ran smiled and said, "That's presumptuous."

Lin Ran didn't want Jiang Hua to be at the forefront, but at first he thought Jiang Hua might know something about disclosure, after all, he had experience in this area.

Now that he had said so, Lin Ran naturally couldn't press any further.

"I'll think of a way to get through the current difficulties." Lin Ran served Jiang Huaman tea.

Jiang Hua was silent for a while and sighed: "Brother Lin, isn't the Ke family specialized in wholesale antiques?"

"As far as I know, your antique shop should be invested by the Ke family. Why do you come to ask me about the source of goods?"

Jiang Hua looked at Lin Ran in confusion.

Although it could be seen that Lin Ran was sincerely asking for guidance.

But any antique dealer will remain tight-lipped about "channels". This is the responsibility of the industry. After all, it involves not only the interests of antique shops, but also the interests of channel merchants. This makes him dare not disclose it easily. information.

Lin Ran took a deep breath, looked at Jiang Hua steadily and said, "Brother Jiang, although I am helping the Ke family open a store."

"But this store is different. It will be my property in the future."

"I don't want to rely too much on the Ke family."

Lin Ran was already quite candid, and he would never let anyone other than Jiang Hua hear these words.

Because he knew that Jiang Hua also came out of the same situation.

It was the secret Jiang Li told him last time in the ancient house.

Sure enough, Jiang Hua was moved.

"Brother Lin, let me think of a way." Jiang Hua put down the tea cup and started thinking.

He also wanted to help Lin Ran as much as possible, but it was really difficult to disclose the channel information.

Perhaps, if asked at another time, Jiang Hua could tell Lin Ran the information about his partners, but now, there are many things entangled and it is inconvenient to disclose them.

Lin Ran nodded in understanding, his eyes full of gratitude.

Jiang Hua also helped him with many things, and the two of them had a mutually supportive relationship.

If you ask others about channels, it would be nice not to kick yourself out of the store.

Lin Ran waited patiently. If Jiang Hua was really in trouble, forget it.

After a long time, Jiang Hua asked: "Brother Lin, before we solve the problem, why don't we sort it out first?"

"When you were not engaged in the antiques industry before, how did you understand the supply problem in the antiques industry?"

Lin Ran knew that Jiang Hua's question meant that he had made a decision and planned to help Lin Ran get through the early supply shortage in the store.

And still guiding himself towards the business thinking of an antique merchant, Lin Ran calmed down and planned to have a good discussion with Jiang Hua.

Antiques in antique shops are different from antiques on street stalls.

For those who set up stalls to sell antiques in markets such as Panjiayuan, the purchase channels are relatively simple and rough. The first way is to go to the countryside to collect them. In this era, many rural areas have old objects.

It was by this method that Lin Ran made his first pot of gold from Fang Dahai, so he was certainly no stranger to it.

"When the antique store is not large in the early stage, we will also use similar methods."

"However, our method of collecting goods from household to household is different. It will be more direct."

"We set up a recycling point at the entrance of a rural village, and then go to the village with a loudspeaker to inform them that they can exchange old things for money."

"Some people may not have read books, but it doesn't mean they don't have common sense. Once they know what something is valuable, they will go home and find all the corresponding things."

This practice is called "shoveling the ground."

Shoveling land is really suitable for antique shops to quickly collect goods in the early stage, because the purchased objects are usually relatively small, and the price is naturally not expensive. Usually you can buy a good antique for more than ten yuan. If the quality is higher, you can add it to one Hundreds, the enthusiasm of the villagers became even higher.

But this method is difficult to guarantee.

Because the antique market is constantly exaggerating, there are many people who are interested in this aspect.

There are many people going to the village to collect things, and the villagers probably have a good idea of ​​how much each object is worth. They will wait for a price and sell them without anyone coming to collect them.

Now it has become a work that accumulates over time and requires special personnel to go to the village every month.

It is suitable for small-scale operations. If you can stick to it, you can have a very good income in just a few years.

Unfortunately, it was still too far away from Lin Ran's goal.

Lin Ran was slightly disappointed, but on the surface he still said politely: "Brother Jiang's method is good, I will consider it."

"Haha, I'm just giving you an idea. If you don't know what to do, you can often sort out the basics first." Jiang Hua said, "As the saying goes, nothing can change without its roots. As long as you understand this principle, the moves will Totally adaptable.”

"Just like the Dugu Nine Swords mentioned in Mr. Jin's novel, if there is no move, there is a move to win."

Lin Ran was thoughtful.

Jiang Hua is indeed a master antique dealer. If you think about it carefully, Liulicang was just a small antique shop in the beginning, similar to what you see on the street.

Having grown bigger and stronger thanks to Jiang Hua's ability, I must have experienced a lot of sadness.

"Next, is the second method I want to share with you."

“The most important step is to find regular customers and acquire them from them.”

"As long as they have cooperated once or twice, and they find something good, the first thing they do is to come to you. Doesn't it become your channel?"

Jiang Hua laughed.

This is the truth, but what Lin Ran lacks now is a stable shipping channel.

If you can find a suitable seller, preferably some familiar antique shop owners, then they will all make money and everyone will be happy.

"Nowadays, the antique market is full of good and bad people. Reliable connections are the best."

"Although most people don't like Tufuzi, I have to say that Tufuzi has real goods."
