Chapter 1169: Wu Qingniu joins
Lin Ran smiled slightly and said: "Master Wu is really good at predicting things. In fact, I have other plans."
He didn't say it directly, but kept it secret.
"In my team, there are ceramic practitioners, traditional Chinese painting masters, and jewelers. What do you think I want to do?"
Wu Qingniu looked confused.
"I heard that Mr. Lin is the owner of a handicraft store. Could it be that Mr. Lin wants to make the largest handicraft in the world? Turn it into a luxury brand?"
His business acumen is not bad. If he wants to do business in Hong Kong City, he will eventually consider the direction of branding.
Because in their country, only elite industries can make money, and other industries can barely make enough to survive.
The so-called elite naturally refers to lawyers, doctors, and financial practitioners.
These are the promotion paths for ordinary people.
Most industries have been monopolized by the three major families.
They can only work for big families.
When you earn more, share more money.
When the income is small, the big family will not care about the life and death of common people.
This is the current business ecological environment of Hong Kong City.
In an ordinary store operation, including various taxes, it is pretty good to be able to support a family of three.
If you want to make a lot of money, you still have to turn your store into a brand.
Once you have a brand, financial giants will cooperate with you and package it into a century-old store.
When the time comes, the goods sold can continue to be sold at a premium and even go abroad.
Wu Qingniu expressed his thoughts and thought that his guess was accurate.
Lin Ran just kept smiling beside him.
His ideas are very simple and he considers them from the perspective of making money.
Lin Ran also considered developing in this area. Unexpectedly, Wu Qingniu also had some business acumen and could be recruited into the team in the future. It was like having a treasure in a family, just like an old man.
In this age of underdeveloped information, the experience of the elderly is enough for others to learn from it for ten or eight years.
"Your idea is very good, but as a cultural relic restorer, what value do you think you can bring to the team?" Lin Ran asked.
If you just do calligraphy and painting, with Li Yuanhao here, you can make top-quality handicrafts.
Restoring calligraphy and paintings must at least be antiques, which is on a different level from handicrafts.
I have never heard of anyone taking out handicrafts, calligraphy and paintings to restore them.
Wu Qingniu fell into deep thought after listening.
He asked his grandson to go to the kitchen to heat up the remaining food. He had a hunch that Lin Ran's ambition was not that good.
It's better not to let others hear it.
After his grandson left the living room, Wu Qingniu quickly asked: "Mr. Lin, I am stupid, can you please speak clearly?"
"Our handicraft store has two branches overseas, one in the capital and the second largest city in France."
"France is a country where art is popular. They have many personal collectors and there are museums everywhere."
"They participated in the invasion of China and took a large number of cultural relics from China."
"These cultural relics are now in their hands. If they have feelings, they should be crying, right?"
Lin Ran used a more emotional adjective at the end.
This is not his style.
After learning the secrets of treasure appraisal, he actually realized something.
When Zhu Xu wrote the secrets of treasure appraisal, he actually didn't just treat them as cultural relics, but felt like he was treating them as children.
The five secret techniques for appreciating treasures each have their own merits and check and balance each other.
Unknowingly, he was also infected by this emotion.
There was no need to continue talking, Wu Qingniu already understood what Lin Ran meant.
He is also a man who loves his family and country. Until now, his hometown is still under the rule of foreigners.
His heart is naturally full of unwillingness, but unfortunately, in the face of the torrent of the times, personal power is too small.
Unconsciously, he had chosen to compromise.
And after picking up his grandson, he just wanted to spend his life quietly.
Facing Lin Ran at this moment, that passion was ignited again.
"Mr. Lin, do you really mean what you said?"
Wu Qingniu looked straight at Lin Ran with a serious expression.
Determination was seen in his eyes.
Lin Ran nodded sharply, he knew his own path very well.
"Hahaha." Wu Qingniu laughed, "Since Mr. Lin has such ambition, it is my honor to follow him!"
He filled the bowl with wine and toasted to Lin Ran.
This situation reminded Lin Ran of the time he visited Zhuge's thatched cottage three times during the Three Kingdoms period.
A good man has ambitions in all directions, money is only one aspect.
It is more important to be able to leave one's name in history.
It is roughly estimated that there are as many as one hundred thousand cultural relics from China scattered around the world.
If you think about it with your toes, it will definitely be very difficult to recover them all.
Therefore, Lin Ran decided to turn surfaces into lines first, starting from the French museum.
Next to them is the British Museum with the most looted cultural relics.
That was Lin Ran's first key goal.
These old guys not only invaded China, but also took away cultural relics and claimed to be their collections, without even the most basic moral principles.
The more they chatted, the more excited they became. If Lin Ran hadn't mentioned that it was late, Wu Qingniu would have become brothers with him.
He left Wu Qingniu's residence and asked him to go to the Palace Museum to repair cultural relics during this period.
As for his grandson, he will also be placed in the nearest school to complete the next high school studies and make plans later.
This person has just arrived in the mainland for less than a week, and his work and study arrangements are already settled.
Wu Qingniu felt that although Lin Ran had little power on the surface, his influence was definitely not as simple as that of an ordinary handicraft shop owner.
After convincing Wu Qingniu, Lin Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that Wu Qingniu had made a lot of money by smuggling and restoring cultural relics in the past, and he was worried that he would not be able to work peacefully in the museum.
The museum can give him a serious identity. After all, interaction between the Hong Kong city and the mainland requires a pass.
Working in a museum saves you a lot of trouble.
When I got home, I found two letters on my desk.
One letter was written by Yang Jianlong.
Yang Jianlong is now fully on the road and has managed the store in an orderly manner.
This month, Lin Ran did not interfere in any management work at all.
The store's net profit reached 34 yuan, and the size of its branches has also spread to nearby provinces.
Yang Jianlong also knew that he didn't have time to go to the store. He basically had to leave after sitting for a while.
So I mentioned in the letter that I would trust him with the store and he would have the confidence to run the store well.
This guy, who used to be just an arty guy who was not doing his job properly, has now become a Confucian businessman, and he even included poems in the letter.
Another letter was written by Lu Yingjie.
I don't know where he got his address. The letter said that he and his granddaughter were living a good life now and expressed his gratitude to Lin Ran.
