Marvel: I traveled through time a little early

Chapter 47 A batch of antiques

Just as the Chinese people were sighing, the door was opened again, and Fu Chuanxue led a dozen people to move a bunch of things over.There were calligraphy and paintings, porcelain plates, earthen pots, and George even saw several important items.

George couldn't help but look at the businessman surnamed Wang on the side. He was reselling so many ancestors' things.But as a guest who came halfway, it is difficult to speak.

Then I saw three old gentlemen put on their glasses and began to observe each item carefully.At this time, Fu Heng also introduced to George that Mr. Wang's ancestors were once high officials. Now that his family moved here, they brought all the things from their ancestors that they could.This is not just an economic crisis, a handicraft workshop he opened has also closed down, his children and grandchildren are unfilial, and he owes gambling money, so he has no choice but to sell these things.

Today they were entrusted by someone to buy a few pieces if they liked them, and more importantly, they helped promote them to some friends.

Only then did George understand the specific situation.Finally, after nearly half an hour of rough inspection by three old gentlemen, a total of 128 antiques of various types were found, which the old gentlemen valued at US$5.

Don't think that what George is talking about is a business worth millions or tens of millions of dollars. You must know that the salary of a normal worker is only 3 US dollars per day, and the salary of a higher-income wage earner is only 5 US dollars per day.For example, Harry's previous salary as the president of Wells Fargo was just over 4000 per year.The price of 5 US dollars is not low, and this is a foreign country, and not many people understand the cultural significance of this place.As for people who understand, no one is willing to spend money to buy these things in this foreign country.

Then came the current situation in the restaurant.After the three masters finished quoting their prices, the room became quiet.

Looking around without saying anything, Fu Hengcai said: "Mr. Wang, the things are all good. But you also know that we can only buy one or two pieces at most. If we want to sell so many good things quickly, maybe It’s more time-consuming. Those who can afford it will definitely have these in their homes. Those who don’t have them at home can’t afford them. I hope you are prepared in your mind.”

"Yes, I specially invited Hall Master Fu here this time just to see if anyone in our Chinese circle is interested through Hall Master Fu's relationship. Everyone can buy a few pieces. If Brother Wang hadn't encountered difficulties, , and will not sell off things handed down from our ancestors.”

Then there was another silence.

George was a little tempted at this time and took a sip of tea.Said: "Well, seniors, Mr. Wang, I wonder if I can participate."

"Oh, George, is there anything you like? Tell me if you like it, and consider it as a thank you gift from me. Haha"

"Thank you, Hall Master Fu, for your kindness. I still want to know if I am qualified to buy this?" George looked at Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang thought about it and said, "If Mr. George likes it, of course he can buy it. After all, I want to sell it."

At this time, the old gentleman named Qian wanted to say something, but was stopped by Hall Master Li next to him.

"Haha, okay. Then I'll buy them all." George said.

"Bought them all?" Mr. Wang said in a high-spirited tone.

"Well, is it too much to buy so much at one time? It costs a lot of money." Fu Heng next to him advised.This is a bit of a slap in the face. I was planning to top up the money and give one as a gift, but I didn’t know that they would just wrap it up.

Hall Master Li and others also looked at George in surprise.

"Haha, yes. I don't know if Mr. Wang agrees."

"This, if it is cash, of course I agree." Mr. Wang said.

It’s because I’m afraid I won’t have money to pay the bills. It’s simple.George asked Fu Chuanxue to help call Paul and Harry who were waiting for him downstairs.

Then he said to Mr. Wang: "Mr. Wang, I don't know if I want cash or a check?"

“Of course it would be best if it’s in cash.”

George didn't know anything about Mr. Wang's little thoughts.Then he said to Harry: "Harry, go make a call and ask someone to send you $[-]. By the way, ask a lawyer to bring you a purchase contract."

Then he said to Mr. Wang: "No problem, I will arrange for someone to send the money right away. However, I will trouble you to help me send everything back later."

Mr. Wang and the others were able to get more than 100 items, so they already had a car, which saved George from having to arrange manpower to carry them.Foreigners don’t understand these things, and George will be heartbroken if they encounter them again.None of the items here will be worth less than one million US dollars in future generations.There were many priceless treasures inside, and George was prepared to snatch them away at night if the man named Wang didn't sell them to him.It's better to be in his hands than to be lost somewhere else.

Then everyone was eating and waiting for money to be delivered.In fact, there are millions of cash in George's space, but there are too many people, so it is really inconvenient to take it out directly.

While waiting, everyone realized how rich the young man in front of them was.Of course, this time Paul and Harry were around to introduce George.

This moment made several people present feel embarrassed.Sitting with a billionaire, well, billionaire.Fu Chuanxue directly started to lift his fingers.

"Haha, it's not that exaggerated. Many of my assets are real estate, companies, etc. I don't have that much cash." George wanted to explain.

These people definitely don’t know what Versailles is. If they knew this word, they would definitely say George Sr. Versailles.Fortunately, the embarrassment didn't last long, as the employees and lawyers who sent the money arrived.After signing the purchase contract brought by the lawyer, Harry sent $100 in cash.Mr. George Ranwang counted them in person, and then took out three envelopes from his coat pocket, each containing [-] US dollars, and handed them to the three masters.

The three of them refused to ask for anything.

"Three masters, I'm sorry to trouble you all today. This is a courtesy and a little bit of my gratitude, but it can't be wasted." George said, handing over three envelopes.

Seeing the three old gentlemen, George was still embarrassed, so he continued: "Three old gentlemen, please ask your subordinates. If I have a chance in the future, I would also like to ask these three to help me. Or do you know who wants to sell antiques?" Yes, you can also introduce him to me. If I'm not here, you can go directly to Harry."

After speaking, he gave Harry's contact information to everyone.

Finally, under George's persuasion, the three of them handed over the gift.

Fu Chuanxue led people to move the cultural relics back to the car again.George raised his hands to everyone and said, "I'm sorry for disturbing everyone's party today. I have to go back to deal with these antiques and need to store them, so I'll leave first."

"Where is it?" Hall Master Li and others quickly returned the favor.

"I was supposed to invite you today and thank you properly. You really have something to do here, and you also know our contact information. I will definitely thank you properly next time I have the opportunity."

"Haha, Hall Master Fu is so polite. There will be opportunities in the future. I came out this time to deal with company affairs. I am still in school, so I really don't have time. Otherwise, I must take a good stroll in Chinatown. I will bother Fu next time I have a chance. The hall master."

"Haha, definitely, definitely."

After the two of them finished speaking, George waved goodbye to several other people, got into the car, and then left Chinatown.Thinking of so many antiques, it seems that I have to find a place to store them properly, but first I need to get to know New York.

Back at the bank, George gave him one hundred dollars and parked the truck in the parking garage underneath the bank.Ask them to pick up the car tomorrow.The delivery driver and porter didn't ask any questions. It was the uncle who gave the money, and they weren't worried that he would detain one of their cars.They all left after putting down the car.

George told Harry and the others that they would arrange for someone to drive the car away later, so they didn't need to worry about it, so they didn't ask any more questions.Why are you asking so many questions about your boss?So that night, George packed everything into the space.It's safest to put it in space.Wait until you have prepared a storage location before taking it out.

The next day, after George confessed, the matter was over.The next day, George and his party left San Francisco and this time went directly to Dearborn, Michigan, where Lincoln is now headquartered. It is worth mentioning that Ford Motor's headquarters is also here.This is also a steel city, with many steel plants set up here.

After George arrived here, accompanied by Lilan, he visited the company's R&D department, advertising department, finance department, newly renovated production workshop, etc.

And gave a brief speech: "Hello everyone, I am your new boss. Maybe everyone is unfamiliar with me, but it doesn't matter, as long as you know who pays you wages. Regarding company management, Mr. Lilan, I am reassured and hope you can continue to support Mr. Leland. Also, I will change the company’s salary system.”

At this time, the workers under the podium began to whisper, thinking that the new boss would lower wages again.The people at the bottom are the most affected by social changes, seeing so many closed factories and unemployed people.No one wants to be one of them.So, although they were disappointed, no one protested loudly.

Then George announced the decision he had negotiated with Leland: "The daily salary of all personnel will be increased by one yuan. In the case of overtime, the hourly wage will be 1.5 times the normal rate." The workers below were quiet for a brief moment, and then exploded. came out with great cheers.Yes, what is more satisfying than getting a salary.No. However, workers are getting better treatment than before, and then compare it with the unemployed people.Only then can existing workers value their current jobs more.

Looking at the cheering crowd in front of him, George also showed a happy smile.Because some time ago, Lincoln Company repeatedly broke out negative news.Workers' wages are also in arrears, causing many workers to be inactive at work.So after Leland made up his salary, George announced the salary increase to stabilize people's hearts.

After returning to the office, George discussed it with Lincoln again.There had been a lot of publicity in newspapers for some time in order to suppress General Motors' stock.It is now the end of November, and we are preparing to simultaneously display new models and new configurations in more than 11 major cities across the United States.The advertising bombardment begins three days before Christmas to let everyone know the news.

We also need to prepare a trial car in each city. During the three days of news, it will start and stop in crowded places in the city.You can also invite some people to experience the car and highlight the differences from other cars.

More importantly, each city advertises only thirty cars.If you still need it, you need to make an appointment to purchase it.

All people who buy a car must verify their identity information, and only the first 200 people in that city will be issued VIP cards.Only people with VIP cards can buy new cars.Therefore, cars must have serial numbers, and vehicle information must be recorded in detail to make car buyers feel the difference.

Each car can also have interior accessories, car seat colors, etc. changed according to the customer's preference.This does not exist in this era.Therefore, each city must be equipped with at least three mechanics.

Every time a customer needs to pick up a car, you can hold a brief ceremony, prepare a camera, cover it with a cloth, and then cut a ribbon.The experience is completely different.

George arranged all the hunger marketing techniques used in later generations of 4S stores, including raising prices to pick up the car and cutting the ribbon.

As for the idea of ​​4S stores, we still need to wait for the time being.But it can be paired with a simple one.

Then I talked with Leland about a lot of future car sales skills, including starting a car insurance business with his family’s bank, etc.Installment loans do not exist.You have to pay full price for their car to be able to afford such a high-end car.
