Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 396 Going crazy abroad!

After finishing the matter with the branch manager, Lin Ran called Yang Jianlong to the office.

He wants to know about the store in Yanjiao.

Yang Jianlong was also fully prepared and handed over the information, including photos.

"The location of the store is pretty good, and the price is pretty good, too. It costs 100 yuan per square meter." Yang Jianlong said.

For Lin Ran, who knows the price of land 20 years from now, 100 yuan per square meter is almost the same as giving it away for free.

"The store covers an area of ​​400 square meters. The layout is the same as our TV. It is divided into upper and lower floors." After explaining the general situation of the store, Yang Jianlong paused and checked Lin Ran's expression. "If you want to rent, you only need to pay for it every month." 200 yuan.”

Lin Ran nodded and said: "Let's buy it. The price is not the issue, the key is the location."

The information includes photos of previous stores.

Yang Jianlong explained: Well, we are lucky. Originally, this store belonged to a jewelry store owner, but they were eager to go abroad, so they sold their store at a low price.It’s just that they have one requirement: pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. "

It seemed that the other party finally got the green card and couldn't wait to leave.

This made Lin Ran catch a mistake.

Compared with shops in the same location, it is equivalent to spending two-thirds of the money to buy a shop in an excellent location.

No matter how you think about it, you are making money.

But Yang Jianlong didn't understand: "Godfather, why don't we rent it first? My friends are interested in buying the store. If you want to buy a store, you may have to communicate with him."

"It doesn't matter. The location of the store is very good. It will be convenient to sell it in the future."

Lin Ran had already made his decision, and Yang Jianlong stopped trying to dissuade him and drove directly to do things.

Sitting in the office, just when I was about to sort out the rules and regulations, I received a call from abroad.

Nowadays, when making calls to foreign countries, there is often a rustling sound, and the signal is not very good.

However, you can hear the other party's excited voice from the phone.

The owner of the voice is none other than Ham.

"Mr. Lin, our handicrafts are selling like crazy." Originally, his Chinese was not very authentic, and it was even more intermittent over the phone. After hearing his words clearly, Lin Ran couldn't help but feel happy.

According to Ham's description, in today's small French cities, their handicrafts are sought after by locals as soon as they are put on the shelves.

Ham opened his store near the art museum and successively put on the shelves ceramics, calligraphy and paintings and other products.

These high-end-looking handicrafts were sought after by local literary and artistic youth as soon as they were put on display.

Especially ceramics like Buddha statues.

The French are particularly interested in Chinese Buddhist culture. They sold for a high price of two hundred euros and sold out within two days!

Therefore, he plans to double his order for Buddha statues.

At this time in Paris, France, in a Shengshi handicraft store.

Inspired by Lin Ran, Ham also designed the store to look like a miniature living museum.

And the counter is designed like a Chinese pawn shop, providing local tourists with a new sense of consumption.

Behind the shop, Chinese calligraphy and paintings are hung, depicting the lives of nobles in the Tang Dynasty.

The French are particularly interested in Chinese Buddhist culture. They sold for a high price of two hundred euros and were sold out within two days.

The store is also equipped with some traditional Chinese furniture, such as antique tables, chairs, benches, and several rectangular beds, so that the style of the time can be used.

This shop is particularly conspicuous on the streets of Paris.

His shop has therefore become a sight on the streets of Paris.

There was also a large group of tourists who came to buy handicrafts, and there was a long queue in front of the counter, which attracted other people to watch.

"Let me introduce to you, these are handicrafts made by Chinese masters. They are authentic historical heritage. Although they are not antiques, they are also genuine and exactly the same as those in the museum." Ham shamelessly introduced to the tourists.

In fact, not everyone likes antiques and items that have been owned by others.

The craftsmanship is as sophisticated as antiques and is brand new, so it is naturally more popular among the younger generation.

Ten euros, twenty euros...

At the end of the day, Ham's hands were weak when counting money!

This time he took [-] items from Lin Ran and sold almost all of them in less than seven days after opening.

There were even museum staff who came to the store to inspect, picked up the handicrafts and looked at them carefully. If the words "Shengshi Craftsmanship" were not too obvious, they would have thought they were genuine.

Ham has already earned [-] euros during this period.

At the current exchange rate of the euro against the Chinese currency...he has earned an astronomical amount!

"Mr. Lin, please be sure to prepare another batch of goods for me!" Ham said excitedly on the phone.

Do Chinese porcelain, calligraphy and paintings sell so well in France?

Lin Ran originally just wanted to test the waters, but he didn't expect to be so profitable.

It's a pity that it's a franchise store, so he can only charge the cost of raw materials. Otherwise, if he takes [-]%, he can earn at least [-] Huaxia coins.

But Lin Ran also knows that greed is not enough. His current goal is to open branches all over the world and build a brand at the same time.

You can make money slowly later.

"Okay, I will arrange for someone to do it immediately, and you can arrange for someone to come over as soon as possible." Lin Ran agreed.

Ham directly increased the delivery volume from [-] to [-] pieces.

Considering the popularity of his previous pottery bowls and pots, they still have a lot in stock that could come in handy.

However, if business continues to be booming, their workshop's insufficient production capacity may cause many problems.

The most taboo thing in the early stage is out of stock.

"Mr. Lin, I want to pay you a deposit. Do you have an international account?" Ham is also a down-to-earth person, so he will give you a deposit when placing an order.

Previously, transactions were conducted locally and could be done directly through bank transfer services.

Nowadays, it is a cross-border transaction, and banks in various countries are not connected to the Internet.

Lin Ran decided to open an international account so that he could accept foreign currency transactions.

Earning foreign currency is an exciting thing. The euro in the 80s will continue to rise. Controlling euro trading will bring no harm to him.

"Don't worry about the deposit in advance, wait until my international account is processed." Lin Ran said, "I will arrange the workshop for production."

Ham was very happy and wanted to express his gratitude on the phone, but Lin Ran hung up the phone directly.

There is also a charge for international long distance calls.

For this short 10-minute call, you will have to pay an extra 100 yuan in phone bills.

You can't waste money like this.

Lin Ran wrote down the matter of opening an international account in his notebook. He had to ask Yang Jianlong as a guarantor. Ordinary people really couldn't apply for it now.

The store’s external expansion is off to a good start!

Lin Ran left the shop and headed towards Wei Chengbin's workshop. Now the demand for goods is increasing, and it is impossible not to expand the scale of production. He also wants to go to the workshop to see the situation!
