Everyone said a few words, and then I didn't talk about the business. I chatted for a while.
Dai Guanglan is a member of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. He finally met Meng Zitao, a master of calligraphy, so of course he had to ask for advice, and Meng Zitao did give him a surprise.
"Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading!" Dai Guanglan admired Meng Zitao's achievements in calligraphy.
Meng Zitao said some modest words as usual.
Next, everyone got down to business.
Dai Guanglan said: "To be honest, if someone wanted my Ding kiln wash, I would definitely refuse it right away, but you, I have no problem with it."
Meng Zitao and Cheng Qiheng quickly expressed their gratitude and said that if they had any requests, they could make them.
"It's not really a request, but I'm troubled by something right now."
Dai Guanglan said: "The main reason is this. I opened an antique shop in Suzhou, Jingcheng, Xijing and Shudu. I just opened the shop on a whim, and I also thought it would be a channel to collect calligraphy and painting works. Fortunately, the few shopkeepers I hired are very capable and have opened up some situations, so they are somewhat unknown in various places."
"It's just that I did this on the spur of the moment, and I actually don't have much experience in running an antique business. I only have a certain understanding through friends, but I am not fully prepared, and I can't always trouble my friends, so now There are some problems with the supply channels.¡±
"Because it is not well-known, some people will not choose my store even if they have something to sell, which has led to the situation of 'making ends meet'. Of course, what is lacking are those high-quality products and treasures, and there will be no shortage of low-end things. of."
"If this continues, I estimate that in a few months, there will not be many items available in my store. By then, how will high-end customers come to visit? In the long run, the antique store will give people the feeling of a small store. I feel like not many people will come here. So I would like to take the liberty of asking you two, do you have any good ideas in this regard?"
Cheng Qiheng looked at Meng Zitao. He had to listen to what Meng Zitao said about this matter, but he felt that something was wrong with the question Dai Guanglan raised. After all, Meng Zitao was in the antique business. Dai Guanglan asked Meng Zitao for advice. Isn't this an act of trying to gain leverage? ?
For Meng Zitao, this matter is really nothing. After all, it is impossible for him to tell his channels, and he really has no fixed channels. With his superpower, this aspect is really not a problem. However, he has also considered what he would do if his power suddenly disappears, and he has also studied the channel issue.
So, Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Actually, there are solutions, but we need to increase the investment in personnel."
Dai Guanglan was originally worried about this matter. He had a bit of a dead horse mentality and did not expect Meng Zitao to be willing or able to come up with any good plan. But now that he heard what Meng Zitao said, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"There is no problem with personnel investment, as long as I can solve the problem of supply of goods, otherwise I will have to close down. Please tell me."
Meng Zitao said: "It's not difficult to say this. There are three ways in total. The first way is to 'rob' and seize other people's purchasing channels! This kind of thing is a little unreasonable to say, but there are so many ways in the market. People who do it are now commonplace. As the old saying goes, as long as the hoe is used well, there is no corner that cannot be dug."
Dai Guanglan waved his hand: "Let's forget this method. I don't do this to make money, just because of my hobbies. Not to mention that it is unethical, and I don't want to make enemies with others because of this. Teacher Meng, please excuse me. Let¡¯s talk about the second method.¡±
"Your concerns are indeed justified. Although this method is effective, it will offend people and it will not sound good if it spreads. Moreover, the channels of large stores are now stable and will not change easily. As for the channels of small stores, Presumably, Boss Dai is not very interested, so this method can only be regarded as a last resort."
Meng Zitao chuckled. If Dai Guanglan had not rejected this method, he would not have said this now. As for the latter two methods, he would only briefly mention them.
"As for the second method, don't you know that Boss Dai often attends antique exchange meetings?"
"Generally, I will participate as long as I have time. Do you mean to say that you want me to obtain supplies at the antique exchange meeting?"
Dai Guanglan thought for a moment and felt that this was indeed a way. Generally speaking, at antique exchange meetings, communication is one aspect, and the other is trading. Moreover, in some exchange meetings, the guests participating in the exchange meetings have a relatively high status and receiveAll the exchanges or transactions he made were of high quality, just in line with his requirements.
Meng Zitao nodded and said: "Don't underestimate these exchange meetings. In fact, as long as you have channels to participate, there will be no problem even if you spend most of your time attending exchange meetings a year. And the above things are completely It can meet your needs."
"Ah, can there be so many exchange meetings across the country in a year?" Dai Guanglan was very surprised.
Meng Zitao smiled and said: "Of course, in our antique community, small things are not small, and I am only talking about some large-scale ones. As for small or private exchange meetings, I don't know how many there are. Maybe at this time , there are several like-minded collectors holding their own collections and communicating with each other. Of course, one person cannot participate in so many exchange meetings, so I asked you to invite someone."
Dai Guanglan smiled and nodded in agreement: "What about the third method?"
Meng Zitao said: "The third method is similar to the second method, which is to go shopping overseas."
"Overseas?" Dai Guanglan suddenly realized.
Our country¡¯s cultural relics have a huge number overseas. Needless to say, everyone knows that now because the domestic art market can no longer meet their collection or investment needs, more and more buyers are beginning to pay attention to overseas markets.
"Yes, all major foreign flea markets can be targeted."
Meng Zitao introduced: "For example, the antique market in Paris, known as the 'Panjiayuan of Paris', can be divided into several categories: high-end antique shops, antique salons held regularly every year, and antique streets in the second-hand market; In terms of secondhand goods, there are famous flea markets, old bookstalls on the banks of the Seine and family flea markets with European characteristics. High-end antique shops are mostly concentrated in a street called 'Saint-Honor¨¦' in Paris."
"In addition, Paris has the largest flea market in Europe, and the flea market also has the largest antique market in Europe. Many antique shops specialize in Chinese antiques, including ceramics, calligraphy and painting, ivory carvings, ancient furniture, etc., with all kinds of varieties. And so on, Europe and the United States There are many places in the region where you can find our country's cultural relics, and there are also many good places to 'shop for treasure'. Speaking of which, I actually want to go around, but I just don't have time." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
