Chapter 244
I found that sometimes, when I get unlucky, I can get my teeth stuck when I drink cold water.
The door was not far from us, only seven or eight meters away. There were two waiters outside the door who were welcoming guests. I saw a tall man with a horse face, a big back, a suit and a ties-wearing walk inside.
It was a big fool, but I didn't expect him to appear here. But then I thought that he was talking with a very strong Hong Kong accent, and he should be from Kaorang. This time he should have gone home, but he happened to meet him.
Sure enough, when Dasha saw me, she was stunned for a moment, and then she shouted at me from afar: "Oh, this is not a second brother, the wind blows you, I'm so happy to see you..."
As he said that, Dasha wanted to come up and hug me. I took a few steps back and said coldly: "Brother Sha, we are not a member of the same place, so it's better to get closer to me less."
Dasha's expression froze, she pushed me directly, and said viciously: "What? Isn't it? Now this is the Grandpa's place, how dare you refute me to face?"
Dasha said, the few people he accompanied came around with a bad expression. I was so angry. Why could Dasha bring so many people in? If Li Long and Lin Bin were here, I wouldn't be afraid of him...
"Dasha, Boss Ma has a banquet today, don't make trouble here."
Li Kuan walked up at this time and said coldly: "Last year, you did such a big deal, many people know your dark history, be careful not to let someone reveal his old background."
"Hey, Mr. Kuan, why are you here..." Dasha smiled fearfully and said that since Mr. Kuan said that since Mr. Kuan said something, he must give this face. Brothers, let's go somewhere else...
Dasha followed him and took the people away, but before leaving, he stared at me, as if we were walking and watching. Boss Zhao frowned and said to Li Kuan: "What's the origin of this Dasha? Is it a big deal recently in our Jiangzhou City. Is he from Xianggang?"
"This big fool, I have always been the local snake here before..." Li Kuan explained to us in a low voice: "Last year, this guy made a big news, forced the daughter of a rich businessman, and imprisoned for several months. He made the adult's stomach and forced the rice to cook it thoroughly. He wanted to be the son-in-law of the richest man... But which father could swallow this kind of bird's anger? It just so happened that the rich businessman had a good relationship with the richest man Li, so Dasha was arrested by Asir. He heard that he had spent all his property and was released on bail. There was no place for him in Xianggang, so he had to go to the mainland to develop."
"So that's the case..." Boss Zhao said unhappily: "This guy is a thorny guy. Even Uncle De doesn't care about us. He left Xianggang and ended up going to make trouble in our Jiangzhou City."
Li Kuan was a little surprised and said that you Uncle De was so famous that he was his entire Nanshawan at the time, and he couldn't even deal with Dasha? It's unreasonable...
I was a little helpless and explained: "Uncle De doesn't want to fight and kill, so he follows rules whenever he sees people. If he really wants to fight, big fools are definitely nothing, but unfortunately, Uncle De is old and doesn't seem to have the spirit of fighting..."
Li Kuan nodded and stopped obsessing about this topic. He said to us: "Dasha can no longer survive in Xianggang. Don't be afraid. There are many guards on this ship, so he dare not do anything random."
I nodded, and Li Kuan took us to the side, passed through two doors and a corridor, and it became lively in front of me soon. There were people everywhere, and it seemed that they were all designers, looking around the table and looking at the design drawings. The discussion was loud, just like going to the market.
The three of us walked to a corner, and suddenly, Boss Zhao pointed to a design drawing on the table and said to me: "Brother Chen Ge, is this set of clothes of good quality?"
I looked at the picture and nodded. This is a very common suit. The narration next to it is marked with fabrics suitable for making, which are all relatively cheap materials. This means that this suit will be very affordable and suitable for the public. It is endorsed by a traffic male star in the mainland. The designer is of extremely high level, the details and appearance are top-notch, and the style is diverse. There are both tuxedoes from Lao Ying and the slim and smooth lines from the Asia-Pacific region, and it also caters to Europe and the United States. It is hard to not be popular if several versions are combined together.
However, when I look at the price, it’s 20 million US dollars, which is too scary. Although such clothes have been released long ago and have even surpassed the greatest popularity, they can be bound into design drawings and re-sale. The clothes circulating on the market must be out of print because the manufacturer has the right to make the design. If you buy the design drawings back, produce them yourself, and then after a new round of advertising promotion, a new wave of preheating will definitely be generated. If you want to make a small profit, there will definitely be no problem.
I was really depressed. This kind of picture is just for free to make money, but unfortunately, the lowest price is 170 million. The little money on my card is not enough. Even if I bid, it is just a waste of time. It's a pity.
Seeing that my expression was ugly, Boss Zhao patted my shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Chen Ge, don't worry, these pictures are medium-sized pictures, and it is normal to be more expensive. Anyway, it's still early, so we can go and see the cheap pictures. Anyway, you have a unique skill, so we will take action after we are optimistic."
I think I'm a little out of control. Indeed, looking at these good design drawings, you can make a profit by buying them, but the feeling of buying them is like a caterpillar crawling on your body, it's itchy and uncomfortable.
I didn't say much, and walked silently to a few small round tables beside me. Outside the window was the corridor of the main road. There was a golden door at the end of the corridor, and more than a dozen bodyguards were guarding the door. I knew that the Ma Fushang should be inside, but I didn't know when I could go in. I guess it would be difficult for this life, one hundred billion? I could only think about it.
I withdrew my gaze and stabilized my emotions. At this time, a picture on my right caught my attention. I subconsciously wanted to pick it up and look it, but the waiter standing aside immediately stopped me and said to me: "Sir, look at pictures in a civilized way. We have regulations here that guests are prohibited from turning over the design drawings. If you have any needs, we will serve you."
I was a little embarrassed when I heard this. I got used to the picture in Jiangzhou City. I always picked it up and looked at it. I didn't expect it to be allowed here. I didn't say anything. I bent down and looked at the design drawing. I found that this was a down jacket that was over the knee, which looked like a military coat. However, the shape was relatively trendy, with five distinct colors: blue, white, yellow, red, and black. Each color had different shapes. This means that there are five versions of this set of clothes. The character avatars in the anime are printed behind it. It is very avant-garde. It seems that it was produced jointly with an anime company. It seems to be called
What is the boy of Light? It's bloody and suitable for adults to watch. Boss Zhao and Li Kuan walked up to him, and the two of them also looked around the design drawings. They were a little surprised and excited. Li Kuan said to me: "Brother Chen Ge, you have a good vision. This dress is only one million US dollars, which is probably the lowest price design drawing. Boy of Light? This anime is very popular in Asia. My son has just entered the third year of high school and likes to watch it. The house is full of characters. Otherwise... let's bid for this picture? This is a free money."
Boss Zhao and Li Kuan have the same opinion. He also likes this picture very much. The design itself is not very bad. The overall design is of the upper-middle level, but I have the opposite opinion. I am not optimistic about this picture because I often read online news and visit forums and Weibo. I know that the reputation of this anime is very bad. Due to bloody reasons, it has been banned from broadcasting in the mainland. The most fatal thing is that the animation elements are questioned for plagiarism and have even filed a lawsuit. Therefore, the reason why this picture is cheap is because of these external factors. Even if it is taken, it will definitely not be sold at a high price, and it may even lose money.
"Two bosses, I don't like this picture very much, so I won't participate..." I rubbed my hands and said.
Li Kuan frowned, looking a little unhappy, and said, Brother Chen Ge, I know well, brother, are you questioning my vision?
I waved my hand and expressed my psychological concerns. After hearing this, Li Kuan laughed and said, "Young Master of Light is so popular. Even if it is controversial, it is just to increase his popularity. I decided to buy this picture, and it is stable and profitable business...Boss Zhao, what do you mean?
"Haha, Kuan Shao, we heroes have similar views. I also like this picture. Since the Chen Ge brothers do not participate, we will be a joint venture, each one spends half of the money and divides the profits equally. How about it?" Boss Zhao said very politely.
"Okay, that's all, one million US dollars, and each person will be divided into three million. I'll pay first, and you can make up for the difference when you go back..."
Of course, Boss Zhao had no objection, so Li Kuan took the sign to bid, with the bid of 1.1 million yuan.
To be honest, I feel a little unhappy. I have already mentioned the risks, but they don’t listen to me. The most feared thing about the people is that they are too talkative and incomplete. If you think about each other, they will not know who they listen to in the end, so I have to get the initiative.
After a while, Li Kuan came back, and a line of words appeared on the big screen behind him: 18 table D products, and Mr. Li Kuan offered 1.1 million US dollars.
We were waiting next to us. There were many designers watching and talking, some of whom said it was OK, and some of whom were not OK. After five minutes, no second person bid, so the design drawing was successfully bought.
"Boss Zhao, congratulations, do you have the backstage of the design conference? Send the picture to see if there are any customers buying it..." Li Kuan said happily.
"Wait a minute, I'll take a photo and upload it..." Boss Zhao took out a notebook from his briefcase, took a photo of the design drawing, then copied it into the computer, and uploaded it directly to the backstage of the design conference. Almost the moment of release, a tasting group downloaded the photos. Boss Zhao sighed: "The efficiency of the design conference is high. I heard that the appraisers of their tasting group have a monthly salary of hundreds of thousands and are very strong. They are almost the world's top-notch. The pictures they reviewed will definitely not make any mistakes."
I was a little helpless. Since they were going to be stubborn, I had nothing to say, so I accompanied them to wait.
Suddenly, the screen on the computer changed. Boss Zhao immediately clicked into the background and found that the review results of the design drawings had been released, with only a very short paragraph: This drawing has been professionally identified. Because the linked animations are cross-reviewed in most areas, there is a huge risk. The platform will not accept them. It is recommended to transfer them for US$500,000...
"Cao, let us resell it for $500,000?" Li Kuan said angrily: "We bought it for $1 million, but it ended up selling it for half a price. Isn't this a loss?"
Boss Zhao was also a little annoyed. No one's money was blown by the strong wind. He lost 3 million RMB after turning around. Everyone was worried. Li Kuan looked a little embarrassed and said, Boss Zhao, I missed this time. Brother Chen Ge is right. We should really listen to him...
Boss Zhao waved his hand and said, "There is no way, this is the case when you reverse the picture. There is no absolute loss, it is normal..."
After he sighed, he said to me: "Chen Ge, is this picture still helpful? Can you change it?"
I shook my head very directly and said, "Changing pictures is not that simple. This set of clothes has its own style, especially those who cooperate with animation companies. The style has been bound to the boy of Light. It has very limited and there is no need to change it."
The two of them smiled bitterly and shook their heads. Boss Zhao said to me: "Brother Chen Ge, don't sarcastically. It seems that this inverted picture really cannot be just about personal preferences, but it still needs to be analyzed and studied carefully."
I nodded and Li Kuan said, "Brother Chen Ge, we are not good at getting off the job. It depends on you next. Don't let your brother down..."
I smiled and said to them, "Two bosses, if you really want me to take action, I hope you can give me the decision."
Boss Zhao smiled and said, "Of course, isn't the lesson of buying five million yuan enough?"
Li Kuan also nodded. I looked at the attitudes of the two of them and felt very satisfied.
I was not pretentious either. I walked forward silently and looked at the design drawings around me. The prices of these drawings were relatively low, with a starting price ranging from 500,000 to 2 million. The reverse drawing not only requires experience and strength, but also depends on IQ. If you are stubborn, you will lose money sooner or later.
I saw that although there were not many people in the banquet hall, there were dozens of them. Most of them were gathered together to look at pictures. There must be competition in places with many people, so I had to go to places with few people. However, designers who can attend such banquets were all powerful and had no picture viewing. Either they had little potential or they couldn't afford it. If they wanted to get a bargain between the two, luck and courage were indispensable.
I walked to an area where no one watched or competed. Suddenly, an inconspicuous set of clothes caught my attention. This was a girl's daily school uniform, made of three parts: T-shirt, short skirt and long stockings. At first glance, it seemed very old-fashioned and probably eliminated by a school in a certain city. When Boss Zhao saw me staring at me, he also observed for a while, but soon he shook his head and said, Brother Chen Ge, this school uniform style is too old, and this style is only suitable for Sakura Country. Even if it is modified, it can only be sold to Sakura merchants over there. If the audience is small, maybe there is no profit yet...
I smiled and said, Boss Zhao, don’t worry, I’m actually quite optimistic about this picture. If you believe me, take it down.
Boss Zhao and Li Kuan looked at each other. I could tell from their expressions that they actually didn't want to buy it, but they didn't refuse. Boss Zhao pinched his chin and was a little worried and said, "Brother Chen Ge, as the saying goes, horses are stumbled. Your vision is indeed good, but to be honest, this kind of picture really has no potential, why don't you think about it again?"
Li Kuan also nodded and said, "The design drawings are too old-fashioned and the audience is small, so it's not cost-effective."
I shook my head when I heard this, and I said, "I have planned the creative idea of revising pictures in my mind. Don't worry, I can't lose it. Please believe me once..."
The two of them pinched their chins. Judging from the price, it was not very expensive. It was only 2 million yuan, which was just twice as expensive than the previous design drawings. However, this is the lowest price, and it still depends on the final transaction price.
Boss Zhao looked at Li Kuan, Li Kuan shook his head, I was a little anxious, I said, "Boss Zhao, you said you want to listen to me, but now I have a crush on the design drawings, and you don't participate..."
"I'm involved, just waiting for Li Kuan to make a decision. Is it? We are a team..." said Boss Zhao.
Li Kuan smiled and said, "Brother Chen Ge, I'm sorry, I really don't look at this picture, so I'm still not a joint venture."
I was a little discouraged after hearing this. Unexpectedly, after the lessons learned just now, he didn't believe me, but I didn't force it. After all, the risk of changing the picture is high, and there is no 100% profit. If I force him to join and lose money in the end, the responsibility will be on me.
I looked at Boss Zhao, he was silent for a while and said, "Chen Ge, I'll buy it with you..."
