A few young people are already familiar with each other, and they are also very interesting, so they chat very well.
Everyone drank a lot that night, and Harvey and Mike also gave him a lot of good advice on the future development of Jin Muchen's antique store.
Especially Harvey, who was originally a business lawyer and is now a full-time business lawyer. Although he is still an intern business lawyer, he has his own unique insights into business because he comes from a legal family.
After getting the troubles Jin Muchen had encountered before, and after he had just become friends with Zuo Fenberg recently, he gave Jin Muchen a lot of suggestions on future development.
"Mu Chen, to be honest, I really didn't expect that you can make money so quickly when playing with antiques? But now that you have become a rich man, I think you should not focus on antiques. You should also make some commercial investments, which can reduce your business risks, and on the other hand it can also open up wealth and increase your social influence."
Jin Muchen listened to Harvey's suggestion very seriously. In fact, he also felt that it was a waste of his millions lying in banks in small European countries.
And he will definitely sell more antiques and make more money in the future. So what should he do if this money is done?
︽t
Could it be that it was just put in the bank and asked the vampires in the bank to take out loans? That was a pity. It was a total waste. He agreed with Harvey's point of view.
"But, Harvey. I'm not an expert in finance. You said you should invest money. I agree with this, but if you invest in the stock market, I think it's a bit unsafe. The market is now in a state of price but no market, and I don't think it's a good time."
Jin Muchen humbly asked Harvey for advice, and said that the hot stock market in the world is not only the Tianchao stock market, but also the United States is also popular.
Since Russia fought in Ukraine last year, European hot money has poured into the US financial market in order to avoid risks, resulting in a prosperous US financial market.
However, the US financial market has reached a stage, and the situation is similar to that of China's stock market, and it has reached the final stage of passing the flowers. Everyone knows that the bubble is very big, but before there are no other suitable investment channels, no one dares to easily exit from here.
Moreover, the stock prices of many listed companies in the United States have reached a deformed state, and the stock prices are shouting very high. However, there are no ones who are willing to take over now.
So the current US stock market and Chinese stock market are completely different from ninety-step and fifty-step.
Jin Muchen didn't dare to go in easily. Harvey nodded after hearing his words: "Well, indeed, I don't encourage you to enter the stock market, but I think you can choose a few good projects to invest. In this regard, I have a few cases. After I go back, I will sort out a few good ones for you to see. If you think it's appropriate, you might as well invest in it."
"Well, that's OK."
Jin Muchen accepted Harvey's suggestion. Harvey was very happy to see that he had hope of making a deal, so he proposed several very good tax avoidance plans for Jin Muchen, which also benefited a lot.
Everyone drank a lot that night, and finally Harvey and Mike lived in Jin Muchen's store.
In the next few days, Jin Muchen lived a dull life. He woke up every morning to open a shop with Fang Bo. When he had no business, he would study various antique knowledge later, and it was soon the weekend.
Jingji was very moved and stayed in the antique shop for a long time, as if he was out for a walk. So early that morning, after breakfast with Candice, he came out of his house early and headed straight to 25th Street, planning to go to a small antique market there to check out.
There are several medium-sized antique markets in Manhattan, such as the Hell Kitchen Antique Market that Jin Muchen visited before, and the antique garage located in the middle of West 25th Street across 7th and 8th Avenues.
These two are quite famous and have many antique markets, and the scale is pretty good, but Jin Muchen is a little tired of shopping.
Today he plans to go to a not-so-famous West 25th Street Market, which is also on West 25th Street, but is a place between Broadway Street and 6th Avenue.
Compared with the first two markets, the scale of this market can only be said to be a flea market. There are only a hundred or ten stalls and are not well-known, but it also has its own benefits.
Because it is not well-known, the things here are generally very cheap. After all, compared with those well-known markets, the stall fees here are relatively cheap.
When Jin Muchen and Candice arrived, the market had just begun. Although there were only a hundred stalls, there were many people visiting here.
I believe that the cheapness here is well known, and the things bought here are also very distinctive, usually targeting poor collectors.
Of course, not only those who set up stalls here buy antiques, but also many buy second-hand clothing and shoes, as well as second-hand furniture. Those who visit these stalls are mainly low-income blacks and Latino people. They don’t come here for antiques.
Jin Muchen took Candice to walk around the market, and felt a little disappointed. The main reason was that there were too few real antique stalls here, and this place should actually be considered a second-hand goods market, not an antique market.
It took only a few hundred meters to walk through in just over ten minutes. Just when he was disappointed and planning to take Candice away, he suddenly saw an acquaintance at the end of the market.
Actually, I’m not very familiar with it, because this black man was the one Evan who ran to his house to buy silverware a few days ago.
"Hey! Evan, are you doing business here? What a coincidence, by the way, has your grandson's tuition settled?"
Jin Muchen took Candice and smiled and greeted the old black stall. Evan was stunned when he saw him. He quickly remembered who he was, and then smiled and showed his white teeth.
"It's you, Mr. Jin, are you here too? It's a coincidence. Thank you. My grandson's tuition fee has been collected."
Evan said to Jin Muchen with a laugh. After that, he insisted on inviting Jin Muchen to have a cup of coffee, and then bought three cups of coffee from a Cuban food stall next to his stall.
"Haha, although Cartero runs a snack cart, the Cuban coffee he made is actually very good."
Evan strongly recommended to Jin Muchen. Jin Muchen took a sip of the coffee in his hand. Well, it tasted really good.
Then he focused on what Evan bought, and saw dozens of various gramophone and recorders of all kinds were placed on the guy's stall.
These machines have a very long span, including the oldest horn-shaped vinyl phonograph of the last century, and also have a more modern alkman, so the things on this stall have a post-industrial metallic look. Jin Muchen didn't expect that this old man was specializing in this business.
"Haha, how about it? My collection is pretty good, right? Do you have any favorites? If there are any, you might as well buy them back and have fun. Don't worry, these things are all good. You can use them after powering on. I can guarantee this."
When Evan saw that Jin Muchen had already put his eyes on his exhibits, he certainly didn't want to miss this good opportunity to promote. Jin Muchen is a very refreshing and rich man. He likes to do business with people like him.
"Wow! Evan, I really didn't expect that your collection was so complete. These phonographs are very difficult to find now. Where did you find them?"
Jin Muchen looked at Evan's phonographs and tape recorders with a smile and asked casually.
Evan is quite straight: "I got these things from Miami. You also know that many rich Americans like to go to Miami to retire after retirement, so they brought a lot of good things. I basically go there once a month now and come back from them to pick up some things. This phonograph and recorder are just one of my collections. I also have golf club series, tennis racket series, and sneaker series."
When the old man talked about this, he couldn't help but look a little proud on his face. Jin Muchen also felt a little moved when he heard this. It seemed that if he had the chance, he should go to Miami to take a look.
You should know that there is also a famous good place for people who play with antiques, and the reason is just like the old man said.
Many wealthy Americans like to go to Miami, which has a warm climate to retire after retirement, and they will definitely bring a lot of good things when they go to Miami.
After a while, I went to Miami for a walk. Jin Muchen made up his mind and then refocused himself on Evan's collections.
The old man’s collections are a bit uneven, some of which are very good, but some of them are just a subtitle.
Jin Muchen glanced around and thought about it, and then came to the front of the stall.
The way Evan's stall is placed is a bit similar to the way seats in the stadium, with the front and the back being arranged staggered. At the end of his stall, that is, at the top, there are several phonographs that interest Jin Muchen.
Jin Muchen was too lazy to see the alkman and other things in front of him, but these phonographs gave him a very good feeling.
Chapter completed!
