Chapter 569 Liuyunbao City
Back in the village, Lin Ran no longer needed to worry about the store matters during this period, and he also decided to give himself a short vacation.
If you want to expand your handicraft business, in addition to constantly improving your craftsmanship, it is more important to tap into the needs of users.
And how to find user needs?
What Lin Ran chose was to pick up the leaks.
He was once a star figure in Panjiayuan and Liulifang, but he has not appeared for four months.
So, he decided to take a look at Panjiayuan to see what people in the market liked to buy.
Now I live in Xialin Village. In addition to going to the store, my current schedule also includes learning to drive.
The driving school is located in a village in the city, very close to Panjiayuan.
After learning how to drive, Lin Ran went to Panjiayuan to check out the situation.
Even though he has not appeared for more than four months and the stall owner of Panjiayuan has been replaced, his reputation still exists in Panjiayuan.
Even if he doesn't stand out, some people will always recognize him.
There are many rumors about him in the world, but there are very few customers who have actually seen him.
The stall owners are different. No matter it is the off-season or the peak season, they are always in Panjiayuan, as they have been for hundreds of years.ah? 2
At the end of the year, the peak season of the cultural entertainment market officially arrives.
Because I had debts abroad, I decided to pick up the slack;
People who are ready to give gifts to family members and bosses, but do not have sufficient financial resources.
Most of them will choose to come to Panjiayuan to pick up leaks, after all, it is cheap.
As long as you bring less than 50 yuan, you have the opportunity to buy high-quality antiques.
Although he had been away for half a year, the environment in Panjiayuan had not changed much. Lin Ran was often recognized by stall owners when he walked to the stalls, which made him feel very boring. He just looked around casually without making any move.
Mainly because the number of customers has increased and people's living standards have gradually improved, which is good for the cultural and entertainment market.
Lin Ran no longer needs to spend a lot of energy picking up leaks. His main purpose of coming to Panjiayuan is to see what kind of cultural relics are favored by ordinary collectors.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Lin Ran ate a bowl of noodles at the restaurant in front of Panjiayuan and prepared to leave.
While he was eating noodles, he heard the customers next to him discussing.
"Panjiayuan is nothing more than that. Compared with Liuyunbao City, it's not even worse than 01:30."
"You can't say that. Liuyunbao City is a new market after all, and Panjiayuan has more knowledge."
"There are indeed many stallholders here, but the quality varies and the prices are too high."
One of the diners said ruefully.
"How about we go to Shengshi Crafts? I heard that the crafts there are very good? The teacher should like them."
"Forget it, if the teacher knew that we bought him handicrafts, he would be so angry that he thinks we are ignorant and incompetent."
Their conversation aroused Lin Ran's interest, and he turned out to be a student majoring in treasure appraisal.
Looking up, it was two people who looked like college students having sex. Judging from their appearance, their intimate movements seemed a bit like lovers.
However, what concerned Lin Ran more was the Liuyunbao City they mentioned.
After seeing the huge potential of the antique market, Xicheng District planners decided to designate an area for antique lovers to trade.
So Liuyunbao City was planned.
Liuyunbao City is now the largest antique trading market in Xicheng District.
The entire market is divided into two parts: the independent trading area and the shopping area.
As the name suggests, the independent trading area is a place without a facade and only rents a stall to sell some things. It is similar to an ordinary market.
The shop area provides a facade for more powerful businessmen to make them appear formal.
Of course, they still have some barriers to entry.
The price of goods without an appraisal certificate must be lower than the average price of similar goods in the store area.
Because of this regulation, it is particularly friendly to novices in antiques and there is no need to worry about being ripped off.
However, as long as you have a discerning eye, you can buy good goods in both the independent trading area and the shop area.
After shopping around Panjiayuan, Lin Ran decided to go to the new market to see the excitement.
He only had 100 yuan with him today, so he could hardly make a splash in the Gu'an market.
"Let's go, I haven't picked anything up for a long time." Lin Ran suddenly found the long-lost fun.
There was actually a bus that went directly from Panjiayuan to Liuyunbao City, and Lin Ran decided to try it out.
After he got in the car, he realized that he had seen two young people sitting in the back seat.
The other party did not recognize him. One of them was leaning against the window with his eyes closed, seemingly sleeping.
Another girl was holding a book and reading.
The little girl in front of me is really good-looking, with supple and shiny skin. She should be about 20 years old.
As if aware of Lin Ran's eyes, the little girl raised her head and met Lin Ran's eyes for a moment. He felt a little rude, so he hurriedly looked away and sat in the front row.
"Oh, I have really developed a working habit." Lin Ran laughed at himself. Now he not only tastes handicrafts, but also evaluates people.
The little girl thought it was her illusion, so she ignored Lin Lan and continued reading.
The bus soon arrived at Liuyunbaoshi Station.
As soon as you get off the bus, you can see the big gold-lettered signboard of Liuyunbao City.
Compared with the simplicity of Panjiayuan, the signboard here looks extremely luxurious.
Lin Ran couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart, and he was full of enthusiasm: "Okay, today I will stop doing my old business and pick up the slack!"
Lin Ran was not very interested in the shopping area. Things were expensive and most of them had appraisal certificates, so they were only suitable for shopping for collectors.
So he strode towards the Liuyunbao City Free Trade Zone.
Mainly because he only brought 100 yuan with him to go to the shopping area. He was afraid that he would be short of money if he bought two things, which was not in line with the original intention of picking up missing items.
He decided to try his luck in the free trade zone.
It is completely different from Panjiayuan. Panjiayuan’s stall owners are usually aloof and will only wait in front of the stall for customers to come.
The stall owners in Liuyunbao City are completely different. They actually take the initiative to attract customers.
"Don't miss it if you're passing by. The newly unearthed Jade Guanyin is a cultural relic of the Qing Dynasty. Take a look. The quality of this jade only costs ten yuan!"
"Authentic blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty. If you like porcelain collection, don't miss it! The price guarantees your satisfaction!"
"The business is bankrupt. I want to sell the jade I collected before. Not for 100 yuan, not for 50 yuan, but only for 20 yuan. Xiao Bingzhong takes the jade home!"
It was just past noon, but Liuyunbao City seemed very lively, and it was no match for Panjiayuan.
Through cursory observation, Lin Ran could tell that there were many customers in Liuyunbao City, but most of them bought them as decorations, and there was a certain degree of overlap with their customers.
It's just that their store is in Dongcheng District, which is some distance from here.
