Chapter 2719: Trouble is coming again
A reliable country man?
Lin Ran instantly thought of Liu Jingfeng!
Liu Jingfeng went to the grave with him in the past two years and donated more than a hundred items. Even some antique shop owners might not be able to get the items from him.
This is really a method!Lin Ran almost forgot about Liu Jingfeng.
Jiang Hua didn't know what Lin Ran was thinking, so he continued, "Brother Lin doesn't know something. In fact, the market has changed rapidly in the past two years."
"In the past, you brought things to Liulicang, and after having someone identify them, we would just take them away."
"But now the level of fraud is getting higher and higher, so much so that even ordinary masters can't recognize it."
"In principle, we don't accept anything from strangers. At most, we accept antiques from acquaintances."
"After all, for antique shops, authenticity is very important."
Jiang Hua confided in Lin Ran and told Lin Ran that he wanted to engage in the antiques industry, which was different from the handicraft industry.
The handicraft industry can directly win the hearts of customers with its exquisiteness.
Antiques are different. People who buy things not only do it for the beauty, but also to ensure its value to a certain extent.
Authenticity is extremely important.
"Some things are better to be missing than to be overused. Even if you have a small number of antiques in your store, you should try to ensure that the authenticity rate is high so that it can still be widely mentioned in the industry."
Lin Ran nodded in agreement.
In the antique industry, Jiang Hua is really his own guide.
Advise yourself to make friends and accumulate connections.
Just like Qin Dong, although he himself has no education and only knows a little about antiques, he has enough connections to open an antique trading company and he doesn't have to worry about the supply of goods.
Although Lin Ran has killed many people in the antiques circle, he is basically a big boss in the collection circle.
Take Tang Lanxuan for example. The collection in his hands may be beyond the imagination of ordinary people, but he will never sell it.
This is also Lin Ran's weakness. Most of the strong ones are collectors. It's okay to collect them yourself, but it's too difficult for them to sell them.
They generally have collections that are not too numerous and of high value.
It is difficult to get them to auction houses, let alone sell them to antique shops.
Jiang Hua was very satisfied when he saw Lin Ran's quite decent appearance.
He nodded and said, "Brother Lin, it's normal to encounter these difficulties when you first open a store."
"Just like when I first took over Liulichang, my family wasn't very optimistic about it."
"I also encountered many difficulties when I first started my business, but at that time I met a noble person who guided me a lot."
"I'm just telling you what he taught me."
The two things Jiang Hua just said seemed simple enough.
In fact, it really tells Lin Ran that everything must be accumulated.
Success doesn't happen overnight.
Lin Ran cupped his fists and said, "Thank you Brother Jiang for your advice!"
Jiang Hua showed a somewhat embarrassed smile.
"Brother Lin, Jiang is actually very optimistic about your business acumen."
"It is impossible for us to tell you the source of the goods. Please understand this."
"But if you are willing to cooperate with us, I can help you negotiate the supply of goods and provide you with a year's supply."
"You just need to go through the Liulicang channel, and we will charge a certain handling fee."
"how do you feel?"
Lin Ran declined the proposal.
He wants to hold the channel in his own hands, but he doesn't want to be restricted by anyone.
Even if the Ke family is like this, Jianghua's Liulifang is a competitor in every sense.
The shopping mall is like a battlefield. Even if two people can talk well, in fact, when it comes to the actual distribution of interests, there will still be tensions.
"Okay." Jiang Hua sounded a little disappointed, but his face showed an expression of satisfaction, as if he had expected that Lin Ran would have this plan.
Lin Ran already understood what Jiang Hua meant. After checking the time and getting dark, he was about to stand up and leave.
At this moment, Jiang Hua said: "Actually, I have another suggestion."
Lin Ran, who was about to move, sat back down again, looking straight at Jiang Hua.
"I happen to have a friend who has some goods, and the price is relatively cheaper."
"This friend is a personal friend of mine, but he is more wary."
"I will say hello to him, but whether we can negotiate with him specifically, as well as the price, are all up to you. What do you think?"
Jiang Hua and Lin Ran looked at each other for a while.
From his eyes, Lin Ran saw one thing.
Jiang Hua's friend is definitely not an easy person to communicate with.
In the market, problems that can be solved with money will never be solved with favors.
Jiang Hua said this, which shows that he really regards Lin Ran as a brother.
"Okay, please give me a recommendation, Brother Jiang!" Lin Ran cupped his hands and said.
"Hahaha, you are indeed Brother Lin." Jiang Hua laughed.
In fact, what he just said was very obvious, it was to tell Lin Ran that there is nothing easy in this line of work.
The first plan was just to test Lin Ran. If he was really willing to accept this method, he could directly accept the channels of the Ke family. After all, he was still one of the bosses behind the scenes.
He will come to him, just to gain more initiative.
Regarding Lin Ran's choice, Jiang Hua nodded happily.
After getting the answer he wanted, Lin Ran was ready to leave.
Jiang Hua remembered something and said, "Brother Lin, I bought something recently, but I think it's a little strange, but I can't see what the problem is."
"I wonder if Brother Lin is interested in appreciating it together?"
Lin Ran had previously thought that Jiang Hua, as a collector, must have many rare treasures in his hands, and hoped to find an opportunity to see them.
Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to mention this matter.
Lin Ran was very interested in antiques.
"Of course I'm interested." Lin Ran had no idea of leaving now.
"Haha, as expected of Brother Lin." Jiang Hua laughed, but he stood up and said to Lin Ran: "You wait here, I will get the things."
For ordinary antiques, Jiang Hua only had to tell the store clerk to bring them over.
This time I had to pick it up in person, which shows that the value is indeed extraordinary.
He was thinking about what treasure Jiang Hua had found this time.
It wasn't long before the answer was revealed.
Jiang Hua actually brought a golden bowl!
The golden bowl in front of me has a rounded bottom. On the outer layer of the bowl, there is a protruding lotus petal pattern, and there is an equally protruding lotus petal pattern on the inner wall.
The bottom of the bowl uses a rare ring-foot structure. On the outside of the wrist feet, there is also a circle of beaded patterns for decoration.
The configuration of the entire bowl, thanks to the unique craftsmanship, looks solemn and plump!
Turning it over, you can see four big characters.
Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty!
