Lin Ran's plan was so advanced and magnificent that everyone was dumbfounded and would naturally not raise any objections.
The first board meeting was concluded successfully.
After the meeting, he called Yang Jianlong over and asked: "Jianlong, although our store is in the center of Beijing, it is difficult for people from nearby Yanjiao to come here, so I want to open a branch there. Please pay attention to it." The right store.”
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." He heard other things in confusion, but Yang Jianlong was still confident that he could complete the task of finding the store.
Before opening a branch, you need to research the market.
Early the next morning, I took Yang Jianlong's car to Yanjiao. It took three hours to drive there. The road now was too difficult.
"Daddy, where are you going?" Yang Jianlong drove into Yanjiao City and asked Lin Ran where he was going.
He was going to visit friends and find a suitable location to open a store. He and Lin Ran were here to research the market, so they had to part ways for the time being.
"Just continue driving for five kilometers, turn left and drop me off."
"Have you been to Yanjiao?" Yang Jianlong rarely comes here, and he still owns a car.
"I came here during archeology." Lin Ran said carelessly. In his previous life, he often came to Sanhe Street to pick up leaks. As a city near the capital, many princes and nobles fled here during the late Qing Dynasty. It was not convenient to take away their things, so they sold them at low prices. Local people exchanged it for food.
If you want to pick up cultural relics from the Qing Dynasty, Sanhe Street is an excellent place to go.
Yang Jianlong naturally had no doubts about Lin Ran's words. He sent Lin Ran to the gate of Sanhe Street and said, "Godfather, I'm going to visit my old friend. I will wait for you here at three o'clock in the afternoon. If there are special circumstances, Call my pager.”
Sanhe Street in the 80s seemed extremely lively.
After the national collection craze began, the people here remembered that in the late Qing Dynasty, many Eight Banners disciples sold their accompanying items to locals at extremely low prices. Just a bowl of rice could be exchanged for a ceramic bowl. It seemed that they were desperate.
There are even people who exchange rice for gold and silver jewelry. Many people have done business with them and have many collections at home, so there has been a wave of interest.
When we came to Sanhe Street, the stall chairman was sitting on the ground, with various products scattered in front of him, which was in line with their character, being carefree and informal.
People who really know the goods don’t care how messy their booth is.
The goods displayed by stall owners are also of various shapes, including ceramics, jade, calligraphy and paintings.
Lin Ran took a few casual glances. His main purpose today was not to pick up missing items, but to assess the local collecting atmosphere.
Sanhe Street is slightly smaller than Panjiayuan, but the number of tourists is about the same, which shows that the atmosphere is good.
Opening a local arts and crafts store is a business worth looking forward to.
Lin Ran continued walking forward and decided to see if there was anything worth buying.
Since there are mostly genuine goods and the prices in the local cultural and art market remain high, there are fewer people picking up missing items than there are real collectors.
While Lin Ran was squatting in front of a stall looking at the goods, there were rapid footsteps behind him.
A group of people ran towards the distance.
Lin Ran felt curious and asked the stall owner: "Boss, what are they doing?"
"They're just a bunch of guys joining in the fun." The stall owner said coldly, "Little brother, do you still want this?"
He was holding a snuff bottle in his hand. After Lin Ran's appraisal, it was indeed a genuine item, but it was just a snuff bottle for an ordinary nobleman. It was of no use now and its collection value was not high.
So he shook his head, put the snuff bottle back where it was, and followed the crowd.
He wanted to see what was going on. After all, if he wanted to open a store in Yanjiao, it was important to know the local news.
Humans all like to watch the excitement, and Lin Ran is no exception.
He believed that it must be a novel thing to attract so many people to watch.
Following the crowd, we arrived outside a teahouse in the center of Sanhe Street.
Originally, stalls were not allowed to be set up in front of teahouses for fear of affecting business.
However, at this moment, there was an old man sitting at the door of the teahouse. The tables in front of him were all moved out from the teahouse.
Lin Ran's interest was instantly aroused.
So he asked the people around him: "Who is this person? The owner of the teahouse?"
The passerby looked at Lin Ran for a while and thought he was a young boy. He said in a disdainful tone: "He is much better than the teahouse owner. This is a treasure appraisal expert in the capital. He helps us identify cultural relics for free."
"Yes, the level of experts is very high. Little brother, if you have an item you like, you can bring it to Mr. Lei for appraisal. This will save you trouble."
"So powerful?" Lin Ran said pretending to be surprised.
The old man yawned and said, "Anyone who wants to identify it can come forward."
Many passers-by took cultural relics and wanted to come forward to ask for appraisal, but they were stopped by the waiter in the shop.
"Dear guests, please wait in line and don't disrupt the order." The waiter said.
Not only did the staff at the tea house dare not go to the stall owner, but they also took the initiative to help him maintain order?
But soon, Lin Ran understood.
The identification process was so long that the people waiting behind were thirsty and naturally ordered a cup of tea or a drink.
Other onlookers who want to see the cultural relics being appraised will also join in the fun.
A flag hung in front of the old man's stall said: "Only seven cultural relics are appraised every day."
Good guy.
Lin Ran couldn't help but secretly admire the teahouse owner.
I'm afraid it's the appraisal experts he hired. Apart from Mr. Lei, the Tiantong Tea House in the background is well known.
Appraisal of seven cultural relics every day for free is also a marketing gimmick.
The other party is well versed in business, and today I met an expert.
He even wanted to see what magic this lightning expert had that could make Sanhe Street customers flock to him.
The old man known as Mr. Lei has a square face and an upright look. He is wearing a kung fu suit and looks a bit like a hero.
However, there was no such person in Lin Ran's memory.
Is he really the master of appraisal in Beijing?
As a senior researcher at the National Museum, Lin Ran is well-known in the industry and has friends with many masters, but he has never heard of the name Lei Expert.
Lin Ran quickly followed the crowd and squeezed to the entrance of the market, where he saw Master Yang in person.
But then I thought about it, the world is so big, and the masters are among the common people, it is normal for him not to know them.
We still have to look at his appraisal results to know how good he is.
If he is really tall, it is not too late to get acquainted with him again.
After all, being able to help people identify themselves for free, although it is a marketing gimmick, is also a good thing.
The man first in line carefully took out a piece of red cloth, placed the cultural relics on the table, and then opened it.
A piece of jade cabbage appeared in front of everyone, causing this exclamation.
The customers sitting in front of the teahouse could see it clearly and couldn't help but exclaim: "Tsk, tsk, this texture, this carving, this color... it's top-grade jade cabbage!"
Others also echoed and marveled.
Mr. Lei picked up the jade carving and looked at it for a while, then said: "The workmanship of the jade carving is really good, the green color is light and elegant, and it is completely natural."
The man in front felt happy and asked hurriedly: "Mr. Lei, how much do you think this jade carving is worth?"
Mr. Lei then smiled and said: "But this is not an authentic product from the Qing Dynasty, but an imitation of modern craftsmanship."
"how is this possible?"
The man's face was full of disbelief, and he obviously couldn't accept the identification results!
