Zhao Zhengying said: "Antique blind boxes are also considered antiques. If the Antiques Association considers your store as an antique shop, then you do not have the qualifications to open it."

Hearing this question, Chen Jing said: "Uncle Zhao, I thought about this problem yesterday. The price of antique blind boxes is uniform, and I clearly told customers that they may open fake antiques. This should not be considered a scam. The association has requirements for the qualifications of antique shops to open antique shops to prevent fraud, so I should be able to open an antique blind box store."

Zhao Zheng nodded and said, "But what you sell is an antique after all. If the association does not recognize it, in the current antique industry, if you do not have the association to endorse you, why should customers believe that there must be genuine antiques in your blind box?"

"Xiao Chen, the sales people you think are mainly tourists. How many tourists can identify antiques? If you can't prove that there are genuine antiques in the blind boxes you sell, then there will definitely be very few people who buy them."

After a brief pause, Zhao Zheng added: "So Xiao Chen, if you really want to do this antique blind box store, you still have to find a way to get the Antique Association to endorse you. Even if you can't get the same certificate as the antique store, at least you need a similar certificate."

When Chen Jing heard this, he picked up the tea that Zhao Zhenggang poured for him and took a sip, and said, "Uncle Zhao, I was thinking, don't I help and cooperate with the promotion and hype of the Antiques Association at the beginning of the year? President Yuan Xing'an promised me the benefits, and then I will try to discuss it with them."

Zhao Zheng thought for a moment after hearing this: "That is possible that the association may help you endorse, but it may not work."

"Uncle Zhao, my idea itself is based on the premise that our antique street can really attract a large number of tourists. It is indeed not certain whether it can be opened, but I still want to try it out."

In fact, Chen Jing also knew that it was quite difficult to open an antique blind box store, but he still wanted to try it out.

No matter how difficult it is, there is always nothing wrong with trying it out.

"It's right." Zhao Zheng also took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Then you give it a try and go and put down the store first. If you can't open an antique blind box store, you have to do other businesses as well."

Chen Jing smiled: "I hope I can open an antique blind box store." He himself thought the idea of ​​an antique blind box store was good.

Unconventional, and does not require much experience.

In today's era, conventional business is really difficult to do, and most businesses that can make a name for themselves are just a way of "taking a different approach".

Zhao Zheng said again: "If you really do it, you have to find a few more authoritative people in antique appraisal and issue appraisal certificates to the authentic antiques in the blind box. In order to gain the trust of customers as much as possible and ensure that your antique blind box store has repeat customers."

"Well, I know Uncle Zhao, but it depends on whether the association can agree to this. If it agrees, I will find a way to solve this problem."

As long as the Antiques Association agrees to endorse the antique blind box store, it will be much easier to find someone to issue an appraisal certificate.

After all, the authentic antiques that Chen Jing put in the blind box will definitely not be fooled. Under this premise, it is indeed not difficult to spend money and favors to find someone to help issue an appraisal certificate.

Afterwards, Zhao Zheng discussed more details about opening an antique blind box store with Chen Jing. He was also very concerned about this matter. First, he wanted to help Chen Jing, and second, Nabaoju will cooperate with the antique blind box store at that time.

…………

After lunch, Chen Jing arrived at the shop in the former Gaogulou opposite.

No one has come to rent this store yet. The door is closed and a rental order is posted on it. Chen Jing glanced at the contact information on it, took out his mobile phone and called.

The contact information above is from the store landlord, but the other party did not place the store in the agency.

Doodu.

The ringtone rang for a while before it was connected.

"Hey, who?" A female voice came from her cell phone.

Chen Jing said: "Hello, is it Ms. Liu? I want to rent your shop on Antique Street."

"Touch!" The sound of playing mahjong came from the phone, and then said: "Who rents a store? I have written all the rent clearly on the order at the door. If you want to rent, you don't need to use ink marks. Just sign the contract directly."

The landlord's attitude was quite casual.

Chen Jing smiled when he heard this: "Ms. Liu, I just want to talk to you about rent. The rent you wrote was the previous price, but not the current price."

"bump!"

"What's the current price? I don't bargain with you. Do you like to rent it or not?" Ms. Liu said impatiently in her tone, as if she felt that Chen Jing disturbed her playing mahjong.

Her attitude made Chen Jing wonder. The other party really didn't care whether the store was rented. Could it be that it was not short of money?

After Chen Jing realized this, he said, "Let's do this, Ms. Liu, are you free today? Let's meet and have a chat." He definitely didn't want to rent a store at the previous price.

The main reason is that Chen Jing didn't only rent it for one or half a year. He wanted to rent it for a few more years. The monthly rent was 10%, which would not be a small amount.

Doing business is not about buying things, there is no reason not to save money that can save.

"I'm going to play mahjong today. I don't have time. Do you want to rent it? If you don't, I'll hang up the phone."

Chen Jing thought for a while and said, "This is how Ms. Liu, where are you playing mahjong now? I'll come to find you."

"I'm at home, not close to Antique Street, and even if you come here, I can't reduce the rent."

Chen Jing smiled and said, "Even if you don't surrender, don't we have to sign a contract?"

"Okay, if you don't care about the trouble, come over." The landlord Ms. Liu was still casual in his attitude. He told Chen Jing the address again, then hung up the phone and focused on playing mahjong.

Chen Jing shook his head and returned to Nabaoju to ask Zhao Zheng about taking advantage of the car.

"Xiao Chen, Liu Yun is hard to talk to. It's really difficult for you to ask her to reduce the rent for you." Zhao Zheng said.

When Chen Jing heard this, he couldn't help but ask strangely: "Uncle Zhao, isn't that Ms. Liu short of money?"

"It's really not short of money. I heard that she has several properties and shops in Changcheng, two of which are in very good locations. She collects rent every month far exceeds most people's income. It's very casual and normal for this shop on Antique Street."
