After the little episode that day, life soon returned to calm, and even Helen, who Jin Muchen had been worried about, didn't make a phone call. *xshuo

But Jesse seemed to be in a hurry, and called him every three days to ask if he had contacted Capote and the others.

Jin Muchen has also been working hard, but Capote's gang is like a group of men who disappeared in the wind. When he called him some time ago, he told himself that they would be silent for a while and prepare to dive back to This side of the east coast of the United States.

Maybe they were also preparing for some big action, so all the phone calls were shut down, and even a few emails to him were lost and no reply was received.

He could only tell Jesse the general situation and ask her to be patient. Although Jesse was in a hurry, he had no choice but to wait.

The business of Jin's Antique Store has also gradually been on the right track. Such a newly opened antique store, and it is still in such a good place, will certainly attract attention.

What's more, there are a lot of rich people living here in Soho, plus the presence of many big people that day, there is news the next day, and a few tabloid headlines, which can be regarded as a hit for their antique shop. Small, coupled with Uncle Fang's previous channel resources, the business of their store has gradually improved.

Unlike other businesses, antique shops have not opened for three years, and they have been open for three years. Therefore, many antique shops are not very pleasant on weekdays.

However, there have been quite a few customers in Jin's Antique Store recently. The average daily traffic volume can reach about 100 people. Compared with shopping malls and supermarkets, this traffic flow is completely worthless, and even a bit funny, but for antiques in terms of store. But pretty amazing data.

You must know that even in Manhattan, the most prosperous economy, the daily business of many antique shops is just the appearance of three or two kittens.

Compared to the foot traffic in their store, the foot traffic at Kim's Antique Store. It can definitely be described as the number of customers.

Uncle Fang is very happy with so many lovely people, because the more people come, the more likely the business volume will be enlarged, and the more money they will make.

But in fact, Jin Muchen doesn't really care about these things, because for him. In fact, he doesn't really care about the turnover of this antique shop, because he is not short of money, and now he has reached the stage of raising possessions.

If he was a pure antique dealer in the past, then now he has evolved into a real antique player. When he sees good things, as long as the price is right, he likes to collect them. Watch and play for yourself.

As for money, as far as he is concerned, as long as he has enough money, he has to know that he still has more than nine million dollars in his bank accounts in those small countries in Western Europe, and he does not need to worry about his parents' life at all, so He didn't have to worry about money at all.

There have been a lot of customers coming to the store recently, and the daily transaction volume is also not small, almost 50 transactions can be made every day, but these customers. When I came to their store, I mostly bought some of the handicrafts he brought back from China.

Not to mention these things, his average purchase price at the time was only a few dozen yuan per piece. But here, it can be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars, which shows the spending power of the wealthy class in Manhattan.

Even the transaction volume of the decorative oil paintings he brought back from China is also very good, especially the digital oil paintings, the average cost is less than 100 yuan, and they are sold here. But it can be sold at a high price of more than five hundred dollars, which can bring him a huge profit.

As for those handmade decorative paintings, although the price is higher, there are still some rich people who like arty style, and they buy two pieces from time to time to decorate the walls of their homes.

Even Jin Muchen didn't expect that the oil painting business would be so easy to do, but that's fine, anyway, they all came to give him money.

But what he really didn't expect was that when he and Fang Bo calculated the revenue of the store after half a month of opening, they actually made a total of 100,000 yuan in gross profit in just half a month.

Most of these profits are brought to them by handicrafts and oil paintings, which actually account for about 80% of their total revenue share.

I really didn't expect that it was those small handicrafts that propped up the store business in the end. As for those real antiques, only two pieces were sold in half a month, and they were all relatively low-end ones that had been restored by his space. porcelain.

They are all works from the late Qing Dynasty, that is, the price of 20,000 to 30,000 US dollars. As for those really high-end antiques, no one cares.

Think about it, after all, it is something that can easily cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Even if there are many rich rich people in Manhattan, it is impossible to spend a lot of money every day to buy these things.

Even if someone is willing to spend money to buy them every day, they may not be able to find their antique store directly. After all, there are not a thousand antique stores in Manhattan, but there are 500. There are so many competitors, not to mention that they are still a half-opened one. The new store for a month is still in the stage of making a name.

However, during this period of time, there were two other people who were the most diligent in the store, Christie's Andre and Sotheby's. These two people almost seemed to have grown up to their store and came here almost every day. report.

And the purpose of coming every day is the same, that is, to soften and harden the foam, and want Jin Muchen to take out a few things and give them to their company to shoot.

Unfortunately, their requests were all ruthlessly rejected by Jin Muchen.

Candace lives in Jin Muchen's house now. Although the two of them sleep in separate rooms in name, she will sneak into Jin Muchen's room almost every night, and Jin Muchen is not happy for her to do that.

Later, because the two people made too much noise, Fang Bo politely protested, and the two simply moved from the master bedroom on the fourth floor to the attic on the top floor. It is designed as a functional room, so it is not bad to use it as a bedroom.

During this period of time, the two of them lived a life of envy of mandarin ducks but not of immortals. They were tired of being together at night, and they did business together in the store during the day. After following Fang Bo and Jin Muchen for a while, Candice also learned by ear and eye. She has acquired a lot of knowledge about antiques and handicrafts, and she is smart and beautiful, and she has become a beautiful sight in the store. Even some white-collar or golden-collar workers who work in the Shang@cheng@ district will help her every day. Come to the store and buy a few gadgets, which can be regarded as a lot of profit for the store.

After five o'clock this afternoon, Jin Muchen turned over the sign hanging on the doorknob on time, and then put away some precious items with Fang Bo. Candace had already prepared some dinner upstairs, by the way I also ordered some takeaways from Chinatown. Everyone is ready to eat a good meal to celebrate the recent smooth business.

But when he and Uncle Fang had just collected their things and were not able to go upstairs, the door of the store was pushed open from the outside.

"Sorry man, we're closed today, you can come back tomorrow if you need anything."

Jin Muchen said without raising his head while wiping the counter.

"Hey? Is it? It's closed? This is not a good business idea. Now is the age when customers are God. Do you not want to do business when you treat customers like this?"

A somewhat ruffian voice sounded in their ears, and both Jin Muchen and Fang Bo raised their heads, especially when Fang Bo frowned when he saw the person coming.

At this time, two tall middle-aged men entered the store. They were both wearing loose old suits, but they were not wearing shirts. Chains, dark hair, dark skin, and large hairy hands with a series of huge gold rings.

One has a relatively clean-shaven face, and the other has a mustache on his lips. Looking at Jin Muchen and Fang Bo's eyes, he is also smiling.

"What? Are you entertaining guests like this? Don't you even have a cup of coffee?"

The guy with the moustache obviously took the lead. The guy behind should be a thug. Jin Muchen understood it, but he couldn't figure it out. He didn't seem to have offended anyone recently. What did they do?

Could it be that they are Capote's enemies? But no matter how you look at it, they don't think that the group of guys that Capote and the others are facing are a group of mercenaries who kill without blinking an eye, and the two in front of them are more like the gangsters in New York!

"Sorry, our store is closed. If you need anything, please come back tomorrow."

Fang Bo has been in the antique business for many years. In the early years, he often dealt with such guys, so he knew at a glance what these two guys were doing.

"Snapped!"

As soon as Fang Bo's voice fell~www.wuxiaspot.com~ suddenly the thug standing behind the mustache suddenly pulled out a hammer from his arms and smashed it **** the counter in front of him, but the glass did not break or shatter. The scene of the crumbs splashing made him stunned for a moment.

"Yo! Are you really willing to pay for your money? Bulletproof glass is actually used on the counter!"

The mustache looked at Fang Bo and Jin Muchen with a sneer and said, Jin Muchen's face was cold: "Listen, I don't care who you are, get out of my shop immediately!"

"Hey! Be polite, boy, do you know what this place is? This isn't a **** Chinatown, China man, be honest with me. Listen, if you want to keep your business safe here, from Starting tomorrow, the protection fee of 200 yuan per day will be collected once every two weeks!"

Moustache looked at Fang Bo and Jin Muchen with a sullen face and said, and the thug behind him had put his hand to his waist, as if he was about to draw a gun if he disagreed.

I rub it, I really did not expect that these two are actually the legendary protection fee! To be continued.
