Chapter 25-Antique Shop and New Business
In the following days, Lei Dongbao would bring the antiques he had collected in the past to Uncle Guan's house. Uncle Guan did not hide anything. He handed over the quality, age, raw materials, heat control, decorative patterns, and techniques.
Lei Dongbao was happy to learn, and the old man was happy to learn. As he learned, he opened the first antique shop in the front gate. The spacious shop front had a plaque with the words " Great Front Gate Antique Shop " written on it.
There was a billboard at the door that read: Buying old items at a high price! Furnitures, paintings, vases
Lei Dongbao's antique shop mostly bought antiques and rarely sold them. He knew that selling antiques at this time would not earn him much money.
Fortunately, the shop was not expensive. Lei Dongbao spent 30,000 yuan to buy it. Since they only accepted the antiques, the antique shop was destined to keep paying for them.
Fortunately, the business of the clothing store was getting better and better. Branches were opened in Tianjin, Langfang, and Shijiazhuang.
The shop was on Zhengyang Street, close to Master Guan's house. When he had nothing to do, he would help Lei Dongbao look after the shop for a while. With Master Guan's sharp eyes, it was very difficult for fake goods to flow in.
In addition, at this time, everyone was not very calculative. There were very few fake antiques. Lei Dongbao's shop offered high prices. Those Beijingers who had old items in their hands took them out and sold them to Dongbao's shop.
Lei Dongbao was extremely happy that there were more and more items in the antique shop. He knew that the price of old items that were bought for hundreds or thousands of dollars would soar in another ten years!
These days, Yang Xun and Xiao Feng were not idle either. They strolled all over Beijing. Yang Xun wanted to find a suitable shop to sell the wires from Dengfeng Electric Wires Factory.
The electrical appliances market in Chaoyang District was very big, and there were many people shopping there every day. Yang Xun went to inquire about the rent, and it was much more expensive than the shops in Jinzhou.
Most of Yang Xun's money had to be kept for stock. The money to rent the shop was indeed not enough. Under the instigation of Xiao Feng, Yang Xun had no choice but to shamelessly borrow money from Lei Dongbao.
In Lei Dongbao's antique shop, Yang Xun greeted him with a bitter smile,
"Brother Dongbao, can I discuss something with you?”
"Speak, your Big Brother Ley doesn't like to beat around the bush.”Lei Dongbao said.
"That's right. As for me, I've been shopping around Beijing with Xiao Feng these few days and found an electronics market in Chaoyang District. Xiao Feng and I think it's pretty good, but the rent is a little expensive.”Little Yang Xun stammered.
Lei Dongbao smiled. You want to borrow money from me?"
"Yes!" Yang Xun hurriedly nodded. If Brother Dongbao is free,"
Lei Dongbao shook his head and said,"I won't lend you money to rent a shop to sell wires."?”
The light in Yang Xun's eyes immediately dimmed.
Lei Dongbao paused and said,"If I lend you money to do some other business, that's fine."”
The light in Little Yang Xun's eyes lit up again. Then, he felt a little embarrassed and said,"But, Brother Dongbao, I've been selling wires before, so I'm more familiar with the electrical appliances market.”
"How much money can you earn from selling wires?" Lei Dongbao asked. Besides, this industry relied on orders from domestic companies. If you didn't have a strong backing, could you win over others?”
Little Yang Xun nodded. He had come to Beijing prepared to endure. Yang Xun said,"Indeed. If you want orders from large enterprises, you need to use a lot of connections. Now that I'm in Beijing, you're the only one I know.”
"I know that you are familiar with the electronics market, so I have a better idea to make money. Do you want to hear it?”Lei Dongbao said with a smile.
"What a good idea!" Yang Xun said excitedly. Brother Dong Bao, tell me quickly."
"Do you know what electrical appliances are selling the best in Beijing now?" Lei Dongbao asked.”
"The hottest items on the market right now are just the good sales of the radio and the black and white television.”
"My idea is to let you sell televisions.”Lei Dongbao said.
Yang Xun was puzzled." There are quite a few companies selling televisions in the Beijing electronics market. They all have channels. How can a newcomer like me compete with them?"”
Lei Dongbao patted Yang Xun's shoulder." I'm not asking you to compete with them. I'm asking you to sell something different."”
Yang Xun was still very familiar with the electrical appliances market. He thought that Lei Dongbao did not understand, so he patiently explained,
"There are only a few brands of black-and-white television. Beijing, Panda, and Feiyue are already agents for them. I can't squeeze in.”
Lei Dongbao said,"
"Let me tell you the truth. Our country is now vigorously supporting the television industry. Color television sets will be available on the market soon. If you go and get the rights to sell this factory's Beijing color television sets, we will make a fortune if you can get one.”
Lei Dongbao had long known that domestic color TV sets were about to be launched, so he wanted to seize this opportunity and let Yang Xun get one of the Beijing agency rights. This way, he could definitely make a big profit as soon as possible!
At this time, most of them were black-and-white televisions, each of which cost 4 to 500 yuan. New high-end appliances like color televisions could be sold for more than 1500 yuan, and the profit per unit could be at least 400 yuan!
"If it's true, then color TV sets will definitely sell better than black and white ones! But Brother Dongbao, this TV agency needs a lot of money to restock. I don't have that much money.”Yang Xun was excited at first, but then he thought of his lack of funds and said in distress.
Lei Dongbao said straightforwardly," I'll pay to replenish the stock and rent the shop. You'll be in charge of the color TV agency rights and sales channels. If we earn money, we'll split it 55 - 55. If we lose money, I'll take it!"”
Lei Dongbao had experienced the popularity of TV sets. If it weren't for the fact that the country didn't allow private factories to produce TV sets, Lei Dongbao would have opened his own factory to produce TV sets!
However, if they could get the TV brand agency rights, they would make a lot of money. After all, the living conditions of the people in China had just improved slightly. Families with some money wanted to buy a TV. If they could get a share of the profits at this time, they would definitely make a lot of money!
