"You know you still ask?" Xia Xizhou gave Sheng Fuhua a roll of his eyes.
Sheng Sheng was so flashy that he wanted to overstep his bounds, but he still held back, "An Ran and I were schoolmates."
Xia Xizhou was even more surprised. She turned to look at An Ran, "Why did you go to No. [-] Middle School?"
"I passed the test." An Ran smiled.
"The No. 1 person who passed the Jincheng High School Entrance Examination this year." Sheng Fuhua added with some pride.
Xia Xizhou said in amazement, "I have to go tell my sister that you can finally make friends."
Her words made everyone laugh.
After several people introduced each other with laughter, Xia Xizhou said, "Let's go next door to eat. There are not enough chairs in the store."
Of course everyone has no objections.
Before leaving, Xia Xizhou took out a cup of milk tea from the flashy bag and gave it to Xiao Lin, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll bring your share over later."
"Thank you, boss." Salesperson Xiao Lin was very happy, "Thank you, Mr. Sheng."
……
With Sheng Fuhua and several middle school students, Xia Xizhou lost the steady temperament he had in the store before, and looked lively, cheerful, and talkative.
Except when it comes to his own career, he doesn’t think like a student. “…Depending on the brand, style, quality and other factors of the bag, the price of second-hand bags is at least half cheaper than new products at the counter, and can be as low as 2-3 With discounts, you can buy basic models from first-tier brands for basically RMB 6000 to [-]. Maybe for many people, luxury second-hand stores are just stores that sell old goods. In fact, this is not the case. In the luxury second-hand market, you can find brand new, Limited editions, runway models, even out-of-print, etc. People who are more knowledgeable will not only not be cheated, but will also regard second-hand luxury goods as an investment business. "
"Like you?" An Ran asked Xia Xizhou with a smile.
"Hahaha... How can you do business if you don't know the business?"
After buying second-hand bags for several years and carefully studying fashion trends, she found that she could often buy second-hand luxury goods with collectible value, so she decided to start a second-hand luxury goods business.
Xia Xizhou is very confident in his professional abilities.
"My aunt and my mother have collected a lot of second-hand bags." She added with a sip of ice coke, "My father often complains that my mother likes to buy junk things."
"That's because your dad has no vision, okay?" After hearing Sheng Fuhua's words, Xia Xizhou's face was full of disdain for his dad, "Don't worry, I guarantee you that those bags collected by your mother will be sold in the future. When she goes out, she can make a sure profit without losing anything. I have carefully selected second-hand luxury goods with great potential for her. In the future, the value-added space may be as low as a few thousand, or as high as tens of thousands or 10,000+."
"My dad doesn't know." Sheng Fuhua actually didn't believe Xia Xizhou.
How can I still make money by buying a broken bag?
But he doesn't like to hear his father say that about his mother either.
The two powers harm each other, which is the lesser. He doesn't trust his aunt's investment vision and hates his father's attitude, but he chooses to believe in his aunt's investment vision, so he supports his mother.
"What does he know? He knows?" Xia Xizhou rolled his eyes and almost rolled his eyes.
An Ran could tell that Xia Xizhou was really disgusted with Sheng Fuhua's father, his brother-in-law.
That being the case, why did Sheng Fuhua die of terminal illness early in his previous life because of his mistress's anger? Why did Sheng Fuhua himself seem so unprepared when he was invited out of the council?
According to Xia Xizhou's career ability in her previous life, if she hates her brother-in-law so much, could it be that she knew something about her brother-in-law in advance? If she knew her brother-in-law's character in advance, it would be impossible not to remind Mrs. Sheng to make arrangements early.
An Ran felt that if there was a chance, it was still necessary to explore whether Xia Xizhou knew that Sheng Fuhua's father had an illegitimate child.
There is no proof or evidence now, she has just met her, and it is not time to explore this yet.
"Xizhou, how did you get into this industry?"
Faced with An Ran's question, Xia Xizhou felt both emotional and proud, "I also entered this industry accidentally. When I was in high school, I liked dressing up. I liked the bags, clothes, shoes, etc. bought by my mother and sister. I want to , I couldn’t afford it myself, and I was extremely envious. Once, I traveled to Japan with my sister and my mother. I visited several second-hand shops there and found that I could buy the luxury goods I wanted with less money. I fell into the trap and have been on it to this day."
——"The pit in Baobao is so deep and big that I feel it is difficult for me to crawl out of it."
No, you will soon be past the first payment.
An Ran took a bite of the black truffle Parma pizza in her hand and looked at Xia Xizhou's distressed expression with crooked eyebrows.
She remembered that when she met Xia Xizhou in her previous life, except for seeing her carrying luxury bags at some fashion dinners or brand private dinners, as well as in short videos and blogs, she always liked to carry canvas bags on her back. It's as simple as it is comfortable.
It can be seen that she does not stick to these famous brands indefinitely.
"Now that you receive a bag you like, will you keep it for yourself first?"
"Yes." Xia Xizhou replied An Ran, "But I found that many bags may not be carried once throughout the year. Some are not very practical, and some are really too retro and can be carried on few occasions."
So, will you only love canvas bags in the future?
An Ran's eyes flashed with confusion.
After listening to Xia Xizhou’s luxury bags, I was impressed.
Sheng Fuhua shook his head and sighed, "I really don't understand what use you girls have in asking for so many expensive bags."
"I really don't understand what's the point of you boys chasing this girl and that girl every day, always wanting to fall in love." Xia Xizhou couldn't help but yell at him, "Didn't you write to a girl recently?" Did you confess your love in a love letter? How was it? Was it successful? "
"She rejected me." Sheng Fuhua glanced at An Ran and Shi Jian, his eyes a little wandering, but he had to tell the truth frankly.
I know he feels a little embarrassed.
Xia Xizhou just wanted to make him unhappy and continued, "You know what to do, right?"
Sheng Fuhua said lazily, "I won't give up."
"Come on." Xia Xizhou clenched his fist towards him, with an expression of watching a good show hidden in his eyes.
At this moment, An Ran smiled at Sheng Fuhua and said, "I think you shouldn't bother her anymore. She has already rejected you."
Sheng Fuhua looked shocked, "Why do you say that? Maybe you are just pretending to be reserved?"
"Why can't it be that people really don't like you?" An Ran said with a faint smile, "Boys with masculine virtues must learn to respect other people's wishes."
Xia Xizhou and Shi Jian also went down.
The pizza shop suddenly became a lot quieter.
After finishing their food at the pizza shop, several people returned to the shop. As soon as they entered the door, they heard Xiaolin say, "The lengths of the three horizontal lines of the letter 'E' in genuine 'CHANEL' are different. The middle is the shortest, and the top The second shortest, the bottom horizontal line is the longest. Look at the E on your bag, the length is the same." "If you don't want it, just say it, but you have to speak responsibly. This bag of mine is obviously my boyfriend. How could someone who gave me human flesh from France be fake!"
The female guest standing in front of her became very excited. Xia Xizhou immediately walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Boss." Xiao Lin saw her coming and immediately explained the situation to her, "This customer took a fake bag and it must be real."
After Xia Xizhou gave the female guest a comforting smile, he stretched out his hand to Xiao Lin and said, "Show me."
Then, she lowered her head and carefully inspected the CHANEL bag in her hand.
After a few minutes.
She raised her head and gazed firmly on the female customer's face, "I'm sorry, madam, your bag is indeed fake. Otherwise, if you don't believe it, you can take it to the 'CHANEL' brand store nearest to your home for inspection. "
The lady was very unhappy when she heard what she said, "I have all the receipts. How could it be fake? You are talking nonsense."
I've explained everything to her, but this woman just can't make sense.
Xiao Lin also got angry, "Your bag is so obviously fake, don't you know it yourself?"
"Customers are God!" Xiao Lin had a bad attitude, and the female customer was not easy to mess with. "You are so rude, I think your store will be closed sooner or later."
"Sorry, our family only welcomes friends and does not serve God!" Xiao Lin replied.
Xia Xizhou originally thought about sending her out after explaining to her, but seeing that she was still so stubborn, he said in a serious tone, "Ours is a regular second-hand store with professional brand appraisers. Do you want me?" Contact her to help you identify it?”
The female customer cursed and grabbed the bag from her hand, put it in a dust bag, and walked out of the store angrily.
As soon as she walked out of the door, Xiao Lin breathed out heavily, "Who is she? I think she knows that her bag is fake, so she wants to take advantage of some idiot who doesn't know the goods."
"You don't care about her, just leave." Xia Xizhou looked unaffected.
Sheng Fuhua looked on and clicked his tongue, "Are there such people? Selling fakes as real ones?"
"There are so many." Xia Xizhou said, "I have been in this business for a long time, and I have encountered all kinds of monsters and monsters. They come to my store with fake CHANEL bags to sell. Since the opening of the business, I have encountered no less than five."
"That's right, it's so annoying." Xiao Lin complained to the three of them, "The fake 'CHANEL's sent are all kinds of, and they have all kinds of problems. Some leather bags are too thick; some fonts are too thick, or the proportions are too large, and The 'CHANEL' and R are almost touching the border. After doing a little research, I know that the brand will never design it like this!"
“It’s not just CHANEL. Currently, the brands on the market that are criticized the most, have the most counterfeit products, and are the hardest to identify are brands such as luggage, such as LV, GUCCI, and PRADA, and watches, such as Rolex, Cartier, and Patek Philippe. What sells the most? The more imitations there are. Needless to say, the imitations are very rough. For example, those that are hard to spot at a glance need to be identified based on some details.”
"Do you have a dedicated luxury brand appraiser in your store?" An Ran asked curiously.
"He is our boss." Xiao Lin pointed at Xia Xizhou.
"Our store not only has brand appraisers, but also dedicated maintenance engineers."
An Ran looked at Xia Xizhou in surprise, but he didn't expect that she was jumping off her feet. Her business was quite stable, and she had taken the exam for luxury brand appraiser certificates at such a young age.
No wonder her business is getting better and better and has been making steady progress.
"If you want to run a good store, you can't take the risk of confusing the real thing with the fake. If you want to avoid this problem, you have to take good care of the appraisal process."
"If you want to do things well, you can only keep studying hard." Xia Xizhou said, "In the workplace, you either need this skill or that skill. Once you learn it, it becomes your own."
An Ran wholeheartedly agrees.
Seeing her serious nodding, Xia Xizhou smiled, "You are still young, you will know later."
She turned around and said, "Come, let me introduce my store to you."
“The old objects we have here come from 19 countries around the world, and their categories include ceramics, wood carvings, crystals, paintings, clocks, silverware, and bronzeware, etc.”
Several people followed Xia Xizhou's introduction and looked over one by one. When she introduced the items that were very impressive to her, she would dance and tell everyone the story of buying them, all the twists and turns, various accidents and discoveries. The few people quickly became fascinated and unconsciously looked at the items in front of them carefully.
Several young girls chirped into the store at about the same time, slightly interrupting Xia Xizhou's emotional speech. They walked in and headed straight to the second area. After a while, exclamations came one after another from the store:
"Wow, there are so many goods here, so many bags, so beautiful!"
"Right, right, I came in accidentally last time and found it."
"Yeah, this is the bag I saw a model carrying in a magazine."
"Oh my god, this bag costs more than 5000, it's too expensive."
"Please keep your voice down, it's already very cheap, okay? Go to the counter and buy a new one. Don't even think about it if it doesn't cost [-] or [-] yuan." Just hearing the voice made the girl feel sincerely happy, "Look at this bag, it looks very good too." It’s new, so if you buy it back at this price, you’ll make a profit.”
"what?"
"This brand is already very expensive. If you don't read more fashion magazines, you will look like a country boy."
"Don't say it so harshly~"
"Hello, beauties, you can look at these bags. If you want to carry them, you can try some and not some." Xiao Lin saw the opportunity and walked over to remind.
"Huh? Why don't you give up?"
Some girls are unhappy.
Some girls were obviously more knowledgeable and asked Xiao Lin, "Is it a limited edition?"
"Yes." Xiao Lin nodded with a smile.
"Okay, okay, we got it."
Several girls gathered together to look at the bags again. Xia Xizhou glanced here and continued talking to An Ran, "She must have just entered the trap not long ago and is still paying for the first payment."
An Ran smiled and said, "Isn't that exactly your target customer group?"
"It seems you know a lot. Are you in the family business?"
Xia Xizhou spent most of her time chatting with An Ran today. She originally thought that many of her ideas and cognitions were relatively mature among her peers, but after chatting with the girl in front of her, she found that many of her ideas were more mature than hers. , especially some of the ideas and suggestions on business planning, she felt like she was hit by dimensionality reduction after listening to them.
"Yes." Before An Ran could answer, Sheng Fuhua rushed to speak, "Didn't I tell you? Antai Electronic Technology belongs to her family."
Xia Xizhou was very surprised after hearing this, "Your business is doing so well, why do you still want to sell clothes, shoes, and bags?" 1314 (End of Chapter)
