Chapter 1852 Seeing Is Believing
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
With a bottle of Coke in his hand, Yan Guohua walked around the antique street in the antique market. At the beginning, he just walked slowly on the street. On the surface, he looked nothing like the people who came here to visit the antique shops in the antique street. There is no difference, but in fact, his two eyes have been staring at the doorways of the antique shops he passed by, and sometimes he would even stop to carefully observe the doorway of a certain antique shop.
"The antique trade here is really very prosperous."
Yan Guohua came to such a conclusion two hours later. During these two hours, he even spent half an hour staring at the door of an antique shop that was not particularly eye-catching. In an hour, five people went in, and two people came out 20 minutes later. These two people were two of the five people who went in. When they went in, they were empty-handed, and when they came out, they were carrying antique boxes. Needless to say, they must have been made It became a business, and it sold two antiques. An antique shop that was not particularly eye-catching sold two antiques in just half an hour. This is definitely a jaw-dropping figure. You must know that no matter what kind of antique it is, it is impossible to be too cheap, ranging from a few thousand yuan to tens of millions, even if the antiques held by the two people who just came out of it are only ten thousand yuan. , at least three to five thousand yuan, if you consider that this is just what happened in half an hour, it is simply unbelievable, not to mention that the antiques sold are very likely to be valuable It is relatively high. If this is the case, you will earn more money. No one can tell how many antiques you can sell in a day. I am considering that this is just a transaction in a humble antique shop. , Those big antique stores, such as those relatively large and famous antique stores, do not know how many antiques they sell every day.
Yan Guohua remembered that Situ Kongming had just said that twenty pieces of antiques had been sold in the past half month. When he heard this, he felt a little unbelievable, and even wondered if the figure was exaggerated. Kong Ming is very likely to put this number in a small way, it must be more than twenty, and it may even be far more than twenty.
"Could it be said that there are a large number of buyers from all over the country and even the world who come to the antique market here?"
Yan Guohua is very clear about the trading situation in the antique market under normal circumstances. Not to mention selling one antique a day, it is good to be able to sell one a month. To be able to sell an antique, the business of these antique shops in front of us is very good, more than one antique shop has such an astonishing transaction volume, the only possibility is that many buyers come here, only if most of them are concentrated It is the vast majority of buyers that make it possible for so many people to buy antiques. There are people entering the antique collection circle every day, but there will also be people leaving the pit. The overall number of buyers will not suddenly have a very large number. Huge changes, the transaction volume of the antique market here in Sun Mengyan has become very huge, which means that the transaction volume of the antique market in other places will definitely drop significantly.
"It seems that no matter how much you pay, or how high the rent is, you have to take down an antique shop."
Yan Guohua whispered, if his guess is correct, if many buyers from other antique markets crowded into Sun Mengyan's antique market, it means that the business of antique markets in other places will be seriously affected. It must be the same in the antique market where the antique shop is now opened. The antique business that was already bad will become even worse. This is a very terrible thing. The only way is to compete for an antique market in the antique market here shop.
After Yan Guohua drank all the Coke in his hand, he took out a tissue and wiped his hands, walked into one of the slightly larger antique shops, looked up and found that the interior of the antique shop, especially the sofa, was usually used to greet people. There were five or six people sitting in the guest's place, and three or four people were standing in front of the antique shelf. These people were holding antiques in their hands, and they were looking at them very seriously. Two or three of them were still followed by people, and they knew at a glance that they were invited. Experts who are in charge of appraising antiques, these people's demeanor can be seen at a glance, they must be rich bosses, even two or three people who know what to do at a glance, are constantly greeting these people, and they don't even come in. Time to pay attention.
"Isn't it a little exaggerated that the business is good?"
Yan Guohua shook his head and sighed. There are so many people in an antique shop, and I really don’t know how to describe the feeling in my heart. Antique trading is different from other businesses. Generally speaking, the prices are relatively high. It will be very special. Generally speaking, customers go to the antique shop to sit for three or five days, and everyone can drink tea and chat together to finalize a deal. It may even take a month, and they come and go non-stop. It takes repeated repetitions to make a business. The antique shop I came in now, those people were looking at antiques, and there were several packed boxes on the table next to it. It gave people the feeling that they were not buying antiques at all, but Like buying supplements.
Yan Guohua didn't stay in this antique shop, turned around and walked out, and walked into the next antique shop. The situation was not as good, but the distance was not so far away. After walking into five or six antique shops in a row, he found that the difference was not too much. .
Yan Guohua didn't go into the antique shop at all. He found a teahouse and sat down. This teahouse is located on the Antique Street. It's not a table where I sit alone, I have to partner with others, he doesn't care at all, the purpose of coming here is not only to drink tea to quench my thirst, but also to listen to the chats of these people around me, from this It is possible to judge the situation of the entire antique market. Hot tea was brought up, and there were two or three small snacks. Some of the buyers who come to the antique market here are antique collectors, while others are antique collectors. The content of their chats is different.
"The ghost market in the early morning is really well-deserved of its reputation. There are too many people. I turned my head in it and patronized people. I didn't even have time to look at the antiques on the stalls."
"Who says it's not? It's the first time I've come to such a lively ghost market. I have no experience. There are so many people that I was forced to walk forward, pushing forward. I wanted to stop in front of some stalls to look at the above. The antiques on display, but many times they couldn’t stop at all. Before they could turn around, they were pushed forward by others, so they missed one after another antique stalls. I thought I would go home today, but I had to go back tomorrow morning Let’s go shopping again and talk about it.”
...
"There are so many antique stalls here in the ghost market. Although they are messy and disorderly, they give people a very good feeling. People can't help but believe that only in such a place can we find leaks. I don't know. Why, I always believe that I will be able to pick up antiques."
"I also have the same feeling, and it's very strong. I thought I'd just visit the ghost market for an hour, but in the end, I didn't want to leave when the ghost market closed. Such a ghost market is really poisonous!"
...
"The scale of devils here is very large! There are thousands of small stalls selling antiques, and there are hundreds of antiques on each stall. The sum is definitely an astonishing number. I really don’t know how long it will take to look at all these antiques, I plan to stay here for the rest of the time, and go to the ghost market every morning in the early morning, and come here to browse antique shops during the day.”
...
Yan Guohua did not speak, drinking tea, with his ears pricked up, listening to the chatting of these people around him. The people in front of him, whether they are buyers or antique lovers, are actually buyers related to this place. Antique store business.
