Chapter 452 Letting out foreign blood(2/2)
People who don't know may even mistake the store he opened as a state-owned tourist goods store in the Temple of Heaven Park.
No matter how you think about it, it is absolutely safe and has no leaks.
As for the business premises, they are completely ready-made.
Don’t forget, the eunuch’s guard room in Zhai Palace is divided into north and south ends.
The five rooms in the north room were used by Ning Weimin as offices and staff lounges, while the five rooms in the south room had been idle in the past.
After Sun Wufu came, he stayed in one room.
According to actual needs, of the other four rooms, two are used as warehouses and two are used as shops.
In this way, even the art sculptures, silk figures and handicrafts that Zhai Palace originally operated can be put in and sold together.
It means that the business area of the original products has been expanded.
It couldn't be more appropriate.
The only thing that needs to be prepared is simple decoration and preparation of containers, shelves and so on.
Ning Weimin did what he said, and around April 23, he found someone to start the civil engineering work.
As a result, it only took a week, and it was completed on April 29.
On May Day, after a day or two of cleaning and layout, the new store just opened.
The reason why it is so neat is because the decoration project done by Ning Weimin is simple.
In fact, apart from laying a wooden floor and running a few wires, he just installed some chandeliers on the walls and ceiling, and didn't even paint the walls.
It's a coincidence, doesn't this coincide with the renovation of Maxim's Restaurant?
Many materials and supplies that are not available in China have to be imported from abroad, and some items were shipped only to be found to be inappropriately sized.
For example, two Tiffany colored chandeliers, and some stained glass windows.
This was all at an advantage to Ning Weimin, so he paid the cost, got it from Song Huagui, and put it all in his shop.
Not to mention, the effect is surprisingly good.
The Western classical interior decoration style, combined with our traditional architecture, looks like the literary and artistic style of the Republic of China.
It is a perfect combination of Chinese and Western styles, which makes both Chinese and foreigners friendly and fresh.
Especially the Maxim restaurant uses high-end goods, the decorations brought back by Ning Weimin, and the wooden floors installed in the house.
It directly improves the quality of the indoor environment, and even the products that were originally not very high-end look much more advanced.
Those objects were struck by the bright, colorful lights.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a work of art, and it's very attractive to people.
Facts have also proved that foreigners do do this.
On the opening day, the store didn’t even have a name.
But the business was a hit. In addition to all kinds of sculptures, silk figures, brocade boxes, and straw insects, a lot of them were sold.
Ning Weimin's junk items, which were originally difficult to dispose of, actually sold more than 30 items.
And the pieces are not cheap.
Benefiting from the information asymmetry, the environment and atmosphere, and the smiling sales pitch of those girls, I was able to sell at least ten or twenty yuan in foreign exchange coupons.
To be honest, even Ning Weimin himself would not believe it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.
Foreigners can be so stupid that they are willing to buy these second-hand daily necessities at prices far higher than the original price.
She's been tricked so hard and yet she's so beautiful.
For example, the hand-warming Tang Pozi that Sun Wufu took back the first day actually sold it for 70 yuan.
Although this product has been discontinued, you can still find it in stores if you look carefully.
The new one is only twenty-five or six yuan.
A Jingdezhen magpie teapot made in the early 1960s actually sold for 25 yuan.
This type of set, complete with six teacups, is sold in Dashilan, but it only costs 12 or 3 yuan.
There is also an old porcelain statue of a birthday boy that was produced about thirty years ago. Production in Beijing has been discontinued, so it can barely be considered an old item.
But if there is one for sale, it is definitely not worth twenty yuan. It actually sold for forty yuan.
Even two old New Year pictures, which are more than enough every year, were sold for six yuan, which is only twenty cents a piece.
Good guy, even though there are some things, you still have to carry a portion for the tour guide who brings the foreigner.
But I have to say that this is really a good deal of "letting foreign blood".
