2453 [Shotgun Change Cannon]
Lin Xilei is worthy of being known as the "rich killer". He is top-notch in terms of appearance, figure and temperament.
In my previous life, when I watched "The Gambler vs. Las Vegas", Xia Tian was deeply fascinated by her. The part she practiced with Liu Dehua was quite annoying, making people's adrenaline soar.
So after taking down this stunner this time, Xia Tian specially lingered in Hong Kong for two more days.
Of course, he didn't stay in the room all the time during these two days, which would be too unpromising.
He still did some other things, such as going to Lizhi's gold shop to take a look, helping Chung Chuhong plan a pottery exhibition, writing two new songs for Zhou Huimin, etc.
Last year, Lizhi stayed with him in the Shanghai Stock Exchange for a few days, and then sent her a gold shop in the summer. She promised her that if she managed it well, she would hand over Zhou Taifu Jewelry to her for care.
It has been more than half a year since time passed, and he wants to see how Li Zhi is doing.
When I came to the gold shop in Tsuen Wan, New Territories, I was shocked in summer.
Before, this place was originally a small door, only 30 to 40 square meters and only three counters. It sold some goods with relatively low unit prices such as gold jewelry, silver jewelry, gems, jade, etc.
But now, this gold shop is four times larger. It has huge signs, wide doors, bright halls, and gorgeously decorated windows...
Compared with the two, it really feels like a bird gun changing cannon. If the name of the sign has not changed, Xia Tian would have thought he had found the wrong place.
"Wow, why is the business so big?" he said with some confusion.
Logically speaking, even if Lizhi's gold shop business is successful, it will not be able to expand so quickly. In less than a year, the scale has quadrupled, which is even more profitable than financial speculation.
Xia Tian then found a cafe nearby and called Lizhi with his cell phone.
"Hey, Hani, why do you remember to call me? Do you miss me?" Lizhi said in surprise after receiving Xia Tian's call.
"Yes, I miss you." Xia Tian smiled, "I'm at the Jinshengyuan Cafe now, come here?"
"In this life?!" Li Zhi was stunned and exclaimed, "Just opposite my gold shop?"
"That's right." Xia Tian smiled.
"Well, then I'll go over to see you right away." Li Zhi smiled.
...
After a while, Richie rushed from the opposite Jinshou to the Jinshengyuan Cafe.
"Hani, why did you come here suddenly?" Lizhi asked curiously when she saw Xia Tian.
"I want to give you a surprise." Xia Tian smiled, "But you give me a surprise first. You have taken over this gold shop less than a year ago, and it has been so exciting that it really makes me admire you."
"Really?" Lizhi laughed when she heard this, "Well, Hani, do you like it?"
"Then you have to tell me first how you operated it, whether you violated the law or not, whether you evade taxes, or whether you have committed fraud... I can decide whether I like it or not." Xia Tian waved his hand and said.
In less than a year, the size of a small gold shop has increased by four times, which is really amazing. In Xia Tian’s opinion, if you can do this, you either follow the right path, engage in loans and financing, borrow chickens and lay eggs; or you can commit fraud and violate laws and regulations, so you can make such huge profits.
"Hani, don't think that people are so bad. In fact, this store has become so big, and they can invest money by themselves." Li Zhi said with a grievance when he heard this.
"You can invest money by yourself?" Xia Tian was stunned, not understanding what Li Zhi had to pay out of his own pocket.
You should know that just renting the gold shop will cost at least 200,000 to 300,000 Hong Kong dollars a month. If the business is not good, the money will be thrown into the water.
"Yes. Because I went to investigate, the bigger the gold shop, the more confident the customers are." Lizhi explained, "Before, when I was just a small shop, there were no major customers coming. Only some white-collar workers, who took a look at it when they got off work. At most, they had to buy silver jewelry, and they had to choose styles and prices, and compared the stores, and they couldn't do a few businesses a day.
After I rented out several shops around and expanded their business, many old men and women came to buy gold. They all bought gold for their daughters and financial management, so they were very generous. Doing their business was higher than the previous day's business.
So, look, our store is so popular now, I am willing to open another branch.”
"So that's it." Xia Tian nodded after hearing this.
He is actually not familiar with the jewelry industry, but he does agree with Lizhi's point of view. That is, the bigger the gold shop, the more confident the customers will be.
Just like those jewelry cities, the decoration is luxurious and grand, and the jewels and jade are decorated, which makes people feel very grand and powerful at a glance, and they naturally have confidence in what they sell.
In comparison, there are many small gold shops on the street, with signs of "recycling gold" and "creating gold jewelry". Unless there is no other choice, who would buy gold from them? Are you not afraid of buying fakes?!
"Hani, are you blamed me for taking my own actions?" Lizhi asked worriedly.
"That's not. I'm not going to be outside, and I don't accept the orders of the king. Besides, I'm leaving this gold shop to you to take care of, so why would you blame yourself for your own decision? I'm just worried that you will go a wrong way." Xia Tian waved his hand and said, "Since it's not, that's fine."
"Yeah." Lizhi nodded.
"As for the matter of opening a branch, I think it's OK." Xia Tian nodded again, "As long as you think it's appropriate, just do it, as long as you don't violate the law, I will support you!"
"I knew Hani, you are the best for me." Lizhi said happily when she heard this, "By the way, Hani, how do you think you are going to open a gold shop in the mainland?"
"Of course it's OK." Xia Tian nodded with a smile when he heard this.
Gold has always been a symbol of wealth for Chinese people.
Gold is even named "Lord Gold". Although there is no lack of teasing, it does show that gold is indeed quite popular for Chinese people. Even Apple caters to the tastes of mainland customers and launched the "Lord Gold Gold" version of the iPhone.
Especially after reform and opening up, everyone became rich, their demand for gold and jewelry has steadily increased.
The jadeite of Burmese is fryed by the Chinese. In the 1960s and 1970s, the so-called jadeite raw stone could only be used to pave the way in Burmese.
After the reform and opening up, as people pursue jewelry and gold, jadeite doubled its value. In fact, this kind of jadeite has no market abroad.
Xia Tian knew that the gold and jewelry market in the mainland was really prosperous in his previous life. Almost every department store had jewelry stores, and there were countless gold shops on the street.
In addition, jewelry stores like Zhou Taifu, Zhou Dasheng, Zhou Shengsheng, Jin Liufu, Lao Fengxiang and other jewelry stores have also opened one branch after another, which is obviously very profitable.
