Chapter 073: It's too simple to think
As for the night pearl, it shocked him even more.
Although he had seen the Night Pearl, it was only the size of a marble. He had only heard of such a big Night Pearl, but he had never really seen the real thing.
At this moment, he admired Qin Guan in great detail.
Look at Mr. Qin, who has seen the world, takes out such a treasure and doesn't care at all. He doesn't even put a decent box on the table.
He knew that in modern time and space, exquisite boxes were much more expensive than these glass Ruyi and Night Pearl.
Besides, it takes up space so Qin Guan won’t make those flashy things.
"Boss Zhou, you set a price first."
Seeing Zhou Taixiang staring at Liuli Ruyi and Ye Mingzhu dumbly, Qin Guan urged.
"Oh, OK, OK."
"This colorful glass Ruyi is definitely a rare treasure. It is so big and the colors are so bright. This is the first time I have seen it. I think it may not be seen even in the palace. I guess it should be less than ten thousand yuan."
"As for this night pearl, Mr. Qin, because I have never seen such a treasure before, it is really difficult to price. If I have to set a price, I will estimate it to 20,000 guan."
The valuation is just an valuation, and Qin Guan didn't care much about it.
"How long can you sell them?" Qin Guan asked.
Zhou Taixiang was in trouble and said, "Young Master Qin, these two things are treasures, and the price is so high that it may be really difficult to sell for a while."
The more expensive the things are, the harder it is to sell. Qin Guan also knows this truth.
"Boss Zhou, have you ever thought about continuing this business for a long time and becoming bigger and stronger?" Qin Guan said suddenly.
Zhou Taixiang was stunned. Qin Guan obviously had something to say.
"I don't know what Mr. Qin said."
Qin Guan said: "If I get you two items like the previous Glazed Pearl, how long will it take for you to sell them?"
Zhou Taixiang thought about it and returned: "It will take about twenty or thirty days."
"Where are five items?" Qin Guan increased his bid.
Zhou Taixiang thought about it, "Oh, it will take at least two months, so you still have to put all your energy into doing this."
"What about those fifty pieces?" Qin Guan increased his bid again.
Zhou Taixiang was frightened, "Young Master Qin, do you have so many glass treasures in your hand? You can't release so many at once. If you put too many, it will inevitably cause a price plummeting."
"Look, if I take out two high-priced items, it will be difficult for you to sell them. If you give you more, you will be even less able to do anything."
"If you rely on you to take out, you will be exhausted and you will not be able to sell much." Qin Guan said.
Zhou Taixiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Qin Guan and said, "Mr. Qin, I will definitely work harder."
Zhou Taixiang thought it was Qin Guan who was not satisfied with his ability, so he quickly said.
Qin Guan shook his head, "I'm not blaming you. But I want to find a solution to the problem."
"You said." Zhou Taixiang asked carefully.
Qin Guan stretched out two fingers: "Two methods, first, expand other sales channels, including people and land, such as sales in other cities, after all, only sales in Hangzhou will be saturated quickly. Second, set up an auction house."
Today, Zhou Taixiang came here just to give money, and then took a treasure from Qin Guan and went back to sell it. He had no other ideas, but when he came up, Qin Guan threw out such a lot of things, which made his mind unable to keep up for a while.
"Mr. Qin, I know how to open up sales channels, but what is an auction house?" Zhou Taixiang asked.
Qin Guan pondered for a moment and explained the auction house in the simplest words. "Simply put, it is to gather a group of customers with purchasing ability to go together. We take out some goods they like, give the lowest price, and then let them bid. Those with the higher price will get it. This is the auction."
"Bidding!" Zhou Taixiang understood.
"Yes, it's bidding."
In fact, the Great Zhao Kingdom now has a similar sales model, mainly pawn shops, and some dead items are difficult to preserve after a long time, or if they want to cash out, they will be sold in the market through bidding. The higher the price will be.
The way Qin Guan said is actually the same as this kind of bidding.
Qin Guan continued: "It's just that we are more professional and more classy than bidding. We only sell real treasures, such as my fine glass products, jewelry and jade, literati calligraphy and paintings, antiques, and various high-end items. We only target high-end people."
“High-end people?”
"Well...it's the rich."
"Then how should this auction house operate?" Zhou Taixiang asked.
Qin Guan thought about it and briefly explained the auction process he understood. First, he prepared the goods, where he could collect commissioned auctions, or he could raise the goods by himself. Then there was publicity to let people know the situation of the goods and arouse people's interest. Finally, he organized the auction and auction process.
What other entrusted funds, auction commissions, etc.
Of course, the auction industry involves a lot of content, and Qin Guan is not very clear about many details. Some are not consistent with the situation of this space-time plane and need to be reconsidered. Qin Guan can only say whatever he thinks about.
Finally, Qin Guan said: "I can only say one thing, and as for the details, it needs to be carefully considered."
Zhou Taixiang became more and more surprised as he heard it. When Qin Guan finished speaking, he immediately said: "This kind of sales method is very novel, which is equivalent to us making money with other people's things. If there are too many auction items, the commissions will be very considerable. This is a very profitable transaction."
But then he calmed down and said, "But there are many problems that need to be solved here, such as safety. If the robbers are targeted by the target and the treasures we collected are taken away, then our losses will be great."
"It will be very troublesome to re-arrange the tax geometry of the government."
"Also, if someone uses power to suppress others and deliberately lowers the price, it will not have the effect of bidding."
"In addition, if we grow bigger, will anyone be jealous of our industry taking action to seize it? These need to be carefully considered."
Zhou Taixiang listed a lot of questions, and Qin Guan frowned when he heard it. At first, he didn't think so much.
But when Zhou Taixiang said that, he realized that this is not a modern society, but an ancient society that can only be entrusted with people. Unless he is strong enough to protect his own industry, someone will definitely be jealous once he becomes aware of it.
Wealth moves people's hearts.
Although his father is a minister, he may not be able to guarantee that there will be no problems.
Qin Guan was a little discouraged, but he still thought it was too simple.
