In order not to lose the remaining three months of the lease, the boss of Zhenbaoxuan found the landlord as quickly as possible, and then called in several colleagues to evaluate the goods.
Cutting meat is always the hardest decision to make, but as long as you make the decision and wave the knife, there is nothing that cannot be cut.
The landlord was very happy. After all, he had found a place for his next home. Otherwise, if no one was willing to continue renting the property when the current tenant expired, he would have to struggle to find a tenant and lose a day’s rent.
So after he arrived, he immediately signed an agreement with the two people recognizing the transfer of the remaining three months of the lease, and signed a new contract with Zhou Liangyun. Zhou Liangyun did not need to pay money immediately, he only needed to pay when the three-month lease was up. Just transfer the rent to the landlord before the new lease term begins.
After signing the agreement, colleagues with the same positioning as Zhenbaoxuan on Antique Street flocked to the place.
Merchants here like to go to their peers’ stores to take inventory.
Once this peer decides not to operate the business anymore, or even plans to no longer personally retail the remaining goods, it means that he is willing to accept clearing goods to his peers at a price lower than the cost price.
If you buy something that costs one hundred yuan, you can often get it for seventy or eighty yuan, which is much more cost-effective than going to other places to purchase the goods yourself.
The boss saw his colleagues coming over and clearing away all the goods in less than half an hour. He couldn’t help but sigh to Zhou Liangyun: “It seems that this meat must be cut when it’s time to cut it! In the past, I only had to look at this pile I had a headache when I bought the goods, but now that the goods are all gone, I feel much better. Although I lost a lot of money, I finally feel happy and happy. ”
Zhou Liangyun nodded in agreement and said: “They say out of sight, out of mind. That’s the truth. When these things become a drag on you, although they still have value, they can only provide you with negative emotional value before they are cashed out. , every day I am upset is an invisible loss.”
The boss nodded and said: “You are right! Just like the oil stock I bought back then, from the second day I bought it, every day thereafter is the best time to cut meat. Unfortunately, I am like a Like an ostrich, I just dived into the sand and didn’t care about anything. I foolishly waited for my money back. More than ten years have passed, and after inflation, I have lost at least 90%.”
Zhou Liangyun smiled slightly. Most people actually have this mentality. They are hesitant and always hold unrealistic illusions. Such people are actually not suitable for investment and can never grasp the timing of stopping losses and taking profits.
Seeing that the goods were almost cleared, the boss called a few friends to help pack up all the remaining personal belongings. He also called a small truck to take them all away. Then he said to Zhou Liangyun: “This is what’s inside The children’s tables, chairs and benches are all old, and no one wants them for sale. It’s a pity to give them away. I guess you don’t like them, but you can keep them for transition. It will take time for you to order new ones. When the new ones come, these Just let them take it back.”
“Okay.” Zhou Liangyun nodded.
The boss said again: “By the way, I won’t take off the store’s sign. If you don’t like it, you can have it taken off when you change it later.”
Zhou Liangyun smiled and said: “The word “zhenbao” is used too much in the industry, but I am too lazy, so I won’t bother to come up with a new name. When the time comes, I will change the word and replace “zhenbao” with “zhen”.
…
It was noon, and the handover of Zhou Liangyun’s new shop had been completed.
He did not take off the plaque of Zhen Baoxuan, but bought a set of Four Treasures of the Study from the street, and used rice paper to temporarily write the three vigorous calligraphy characters “Zhen Baoxuan” on it.
He decided to start with collecting and appraising antiques. The word “Zhen” seems very appropriate. Although it has the same pronunciation as the word “Zhen” for “Zhenzhu”, they have completely different artistic conceptions. The latter is to show that the store is full of good things, while the former is It is to tell customers that this place is better at selection and identification.
