Chapter 100 Opening a Shop
This birthday party was generally quite harmonious.
It would be better if there was no one-hour live broadcast by Lin Wan.
The last step is for everyone to sing the birthday song together, Lin Wan, the birthday girl, makes a wish, blows out the birthday candles, and shares the cake.
This cake was bought by Chen Feng at a high price. The cream is very authentic and the taste is of course very good.
Although several women said they were afraid of getting fat, they still ate with smiles on their faces, especially the fat Li Li who ate three large pieces, just like Chen Feng.
Chen Feng now weighs more than 170 pounds, but he has never thought about losing weight.
Who would think about losing weight now that they are terminally ill?
However, many people naturally lose weight after getting cancer, but Chen Feng has not changed in this regard, which is quite miraculous.
Therefore, Chen Feng often comforted himself by believing that miracles would happen.
After all, with his luck so bad now, there is no reason that he would die of illness in the end.
Chen Feng can only think so optimistically. Otherwise, he would be really unwilling.
He was only thirty years old after the New Year, and he still had money, so how could he be willing to die like this?
The birthday party was over, Chen Feng went to settle the bill, and then went back to his home.
This time, Chen Feng still stayed at the East Lake Villa for the night.
Xiao Ya sent a WeChat message around nine o'clock to ask if he would go home tonight?
Chen Feng simply replied with two words "no reply".
After that, Xiao Ya didn’t send any more messages.
When he woke up the next morning, Chen Feng did not stay in bed. Instead, he immediately went to see the "Lanting Preface". This time, he only entered meditation for ten minutes. This also meant that this painting The possible energy stored in the words was "absorbed" by Chen Feng.
Although he still had two paintings in his hand, Chen Feng felt that he should prepare more.
Because this may cure his terminal illness and save his life. Even though it seems slim, it is currently the only hope of survival.
Or the last straw.
After all, he has been sentenced to death by real medicine and has only a few months to live at most.
But since his divorce, he has no symptoms of terminal illness. He used to have nausea and vomiting, but they disappeared later.
When Chen Feng recently entered trance through several paintings and calligraphy, perhaps after absorbing invisible energy, his body suddenly became stronger.
This was undoubtedly like a shot in the arm. It undoubtedly gave him a glimmer of hope in his originally hopeless life.
Even though the expert doctor at the dog hospital sentenced him to death again, Chen Feng still did not give up completely.
Whether it is a desperate struggle or a deception of oneself and others.
Now his body has indeed become stronger and healthier because of the calligraphy and paintings he discovered. This is not only a personal intuitive feeling, but also based on the test report of the dog hospital as a scientific basis.
So, even though this hope still seemed slim, he kept going.
In the next few days, Chen Feng visited several artists in Xiuzhou city. It's a pity that there are no more gains.
As for the two paintings he bought from Xi Jun, after his daily absorption in the past few days, the energy contained in them has been sucked dry.
This made Chen Feng feel helpless and insecure.
And through the continuous "energy absorption" in the past few days, his body has indeed become stronger.
The most intuitive feeling is that when he played games with Xiao Ya several times, he persisted for longer and longer, which made her both happy and scared.
Fortunately, Chen Feng didn't go back to Hongshu Bay every night, otherwise Chen Feng would have suspected that she might end their employment relationship early.
Of course, it is also a very important factor that she needs Chen Feng to invest money for her to open a milk tea shop.
On this day, Chen Feng traveled a little further and went to a county below Xiuzhou City. He visited three artists in the county. One of them was an old calligrapher who was somewhat famous in the local area. It paid off, and Chen Feng found a painting that inspired him.
And the price is relatively cheap. Chen Feng only spent 300,000 yuan to buy it.
Chen Feng couldn't wait to watch in the car and fell into trance. When he woke up, he saw that the time was almost forty minutes. This was really an unexpected surprise.
According to Chen Feng's evaluation standards, this old calligrapher's calligraphy must be higher in artistic value than Song Yi and Xi Jun's.
For Chen Feng, this is like missing something.
But in reality, this old calligrapher is only relatively famous in his local county, and only slightly famous in Xiuzhou City, not to mention the whole country, even within the province. Not very famous either.
This may be related to the fact that the old calligrapher does not care much about fame and fortune, and also because he does not understand hype and business operations. Of course, it can be seen that this old gentleman is relatively indifferent to fame and fortune.
So, the artistic value of a work of art does not necessarily depend on the artist’s fame. Sometimes the works of unknown artists are no worse than those of famous ones, and may even be better.
This undoubtedly broadened Chen Feng's thinking.
He felt that he could cast a wide net, instead of visiting each door in person, but spread the news that he was buying art works at high prices, especially calligraphy and painting works, and wait for interested people to come to his door with works.
In this way, the efficiency will definitely be improved a lot, and it will not be so tiring. At the same time, you can also find something to do for yourself.
Chen Feng did what he thought of. He immediately found a store near the East Lake Villa and bought it in full.
It happened to be the community where Wu Mengting and Lin Wan lived, a shop on the street.
It was Chen Feng's good luck. Normally, a store with a good location would not be resold. After all, everyone knew that store prices were stronger and higher than house prices.
Judging from the situation in the past ten years, house prices may have declined slightly, but shop prices are basically rising.
No one with a store would be willing to resell it unless absolutely necessary.
The original owner of this store encountered a last resort. Their only son got into trouble in Citigroup and was sued. They needed a large sum of money to hire a lawyer to litigate. The family only had Raise as much money as possible.
The legal fees at home and abroad are not low, and the legal fees in Citigroup are even ridiculously high, so they can only sell this store.
And because he was in urgent need of money, the price was very reasonable, so Chen Feng did not deliberately lower the price.
In the end, the two parties only haggled a little, and Chen Feng paid the full amount at one time. He was very powerful and sincere, and the final transaction price was 5 million, which was a total sum.
The store covers an area of 60 square meters, which works out to almost 70,000 per square meter. It is not very cheap in this location, but it is not expensive either. Lower-middle price.
In fact, if you want to continue to lower the price, you can. After all, the other party requires a one-time payment for the full purchase, and they are anxious to raise money to send their son abroad to file a lawsuit. There is a high probability that they will agree in the end.
But Chen Feng was in a hurry, and he really didn’t need the money now. More importantly, he was a good person, and not someone who took advantage of others, so he didn’t engage in these tricks.
Originally, the store was rented out. It was a fishing gear store. The business was not very good, and there were advertisements for sublease at the door. Therefore, as soon as Chen Feng's deal was concluded, the original landlord returned the remaining rent to the owner of the fishing gear shop as agreed, and Chen Feng also generously gave the other party five thousand yuan as transfer fee.
The decoration of this fishing gear shop is very simple, and it does not require much transfer fee. In addition, the rent for more than half a year was refunded, so the other party did not bother.
It only took one day to quickly pack up and move out.
However, Chen Feng did not renovate. The layout of the fishing gear store can be used as an art store. He just customized a store plaque and billboard.
The plaque above the store reads: "Recycle calligraphy and painting works of art at high prices."
The billboard placed at the door reads: "Buying calligraphy and painting works at high prices, mainly collecting works of modern calligraphers and painters. Once appraised, the price will be favorable."< br>
The number of a new mobile phone card purchased by Chen Feng was left below both.
The fonts on plaques and advertisements are made large and eye-catching.
In addition, of course Chen Feng also went to the relevant departments to complete the procedures. With the help of Qin Zhen, who happened to be in his jurisdiction, after saying hello, the procedures were completed in a reasonable and legal manner. It is quite convenient to do it.
When Chen Feng started business here, the procedures and business license were also completed.
On the opening day, Chen Feng did not notify anyone, including Qin Zhen, and there was no opening ceremony or any firecrackers.
But when Qin Zhen found out, he wore his uniform and drove a police car to deliver a flower basket when he got off work. He stood at the door and chatted with him for more than ten minutes. Many people around him, including the owners of other shops, Saw it.
Of course, Chen Feng could only accept his kindness.
On the first day that Chen Feng opened his store, not a single customer came to the door.
Although Chen Feng was mentally prepared for this, he was still a little disappointed.
However, he has already hired a group of trolls online to help advertise on several local forums in Xiuzhou. Chen Feng directly pays a monthly fee, which is relatively cheap in terms of price.
In addition, Chen Feng also told Director Huang of the Provincial Art Museum about opening a store and asked him to help promote it. In addition, he also obtained from him the contact information of calligraphy associations and art associations in various counties and districts in the province. .
Chen Feng sat in the store and sent emails and phone calls to these associations, telling them that he would purchase the works of their association members at high prices. As long as they passed the appraisal, the prices would be favorable.
In addition, he also promised that if the association recommended him, as long as the final deal was completed, Chen Feng would donate an additional 10,000 yuan to their association.
For every successful transaction, their association will receive a donation of 10,000 yuan.
This price is not low, not to mention that it is not too much trouble to just ask them to help notify the members of their association, and then ask those who are interested in selling works to report the name of their association.
One transaction is a reward of 10,000, which is not a low reward.
So, someone finally came over the next day, and he came all the way from hundreds of kilometers away. He was over sixty years old and a member of a calligraphy association in a certain county.
It’s a pity that Chen Feng didn’t like the three works this man brought, but after all, he was the first one to come to the door, and Chen Feng also wanted to spend thousands of gold to buy horse bones.
Therefore, Chen Feng finally spent 100,000 to buy this man's calligraphy work.
In addition, Chen Feng also immediately contacted the calligraphy association of the county and said that he would donate 10,000 yuan to their association and ask them to send someone to contact them.
After all, it is 10,000 yuan, which is not a small amount of money for a county association, not to mention it is free.
Soon, three people from the county calligraphy association drove over, and together with the person who sold a calligraphy painting to Chen Feng for 100,000 yuan.
Chen Feng simply called 10,000 yuan according to the bank account number they provided, and then took photos with them. After they received the 10,000 yuan donation, they were of course very happy and said they would vigorously promote Chen Feng. .
This is the result Chen Feng wants.
This is also a good start.
Sure enough, in the next few days, more and more people came to the door with works. After the fifth day of opening, Chen Feng finally found the work he wanted. Ordinary pictures of wealthy peonies, traditional Chinese paintings.
This painter is only in his thirties and has no academic background. He only paints as a hobby. During this period, he only studied with a local old Chinese painter for a few years. He also joined their county association. It has only been a few years, and now he is not well-known locally, let alone elsewhere.
But the peony picture he painted contains the invisible energy that attracted Chen Feng.
Moreover, Chen Feng only spent 50,000 yuan to buy it, which was extremely cheap.
As for the amateur painter, he was quite satisfied with the price and felt like he had won a prize.
After all, when he first started learning painting, painting was just a hobby. He had a legitimate job and never thought that the paintings he painted could be sold for money.
This time I came to Xiuzhou to sell paintings because of my work. I happened to hear from people in the association that someone in Xiuzhou was buying paintings and calligraphy at a high price, so I brought two of my own works with me. As luck would have it, a single painting sold for 50,000 yuan, which was really a big surprise for him.
After all, his job only costs a few thousand yuan per month.
For Chen Feng, this was even more of an unexpected surprise. He bought one at such a cheap price and delivered it to his door.
So, Chen Feng said that he was also very interested in the rest of his paintings. He could bring other works here for him to look at next time. As long as he liked the ones he liked, he would definitely continue to buy them.
The amateur painter immediately said that he would go home immediately and bring all his works in the past few years to Chen Feng to see.
This man did what he said. He didn’t even care about his job. He immediately took the high-speed train and returned home as quickly as possible. Then he packed all the works at home and stuffed them into his Wuling Hongguang car, and drove more than a hundred kilometers to start a new journey. Back to Chen Feng.
At this time, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening. Chen Feng has returned to Hongshu Bay.
But as soon as he heard that this man was coming with his work, Chen Feng rushed over immediately.
The other party brought quite a lot of works, more than a hundred of them, most of which have not yet been framed.
But Chen Feng certainly doesn’t mind this at all. He is still full of expectations for this man's work.
Looking carefully at each piece, Chen Feng discovered another one.
