After Cao Yuande brought the three people in, he looked at his watch and said, "I'll go and get busy first, and I'll come to you soon. You guys find a place to sit down first."

Yang Bo nodded, "Okay, you're busy."

Yang Bo looked up and saw the theme of the event, "China's First Collectors Exchange Forum" displayed on the screen at the front desk.

Luo Yaohua laughed, "After all, we can be considered collectors?"

"You don't count." Yang Bo said.

"Why?"

"Because you don't have a few collections now, how can you be considered a collector?" Yang Bo said.

Luo Yaohua smiled and said: "Just wait and see, when my auction house opens, I will be a big collector!"

"Yes, you are a predator!"

Liu Liangyu stood aside and laughed.

There were more than twenty round tables distributed on the scene, and each round table was filled with drinks and side dishes. The three of them found a table and sat down. They came earlier and there were not many people at the table.

Soon, people arrived one after another. Yang Bo and his tablemates introduced each other and started chatting enthusiastically.

There were auction house executives, cultural relic appraisal experts, and some founders of online trading platforms present. However, the amount of online transactions is now too small, and it is difficult to believe that online trading will develop too fast.

After Luo Yaohua heard the introduction, he invited the auction house executive to ask for advice. The executive heard that Luo Yaohua was going to open an auction house, and he was very enthusiastic. After all, the auction house is not in the same city, the competition is small, and he has a good boss.

It can also leave a way out for yourself.

Yang Bo chatted with Jing Shaohua, the founder of the online trading platform.

Jing Shaohua is a very talkative person. He introduced the Taohua.com he built, "I started Taohua.com in March last year. Throughout last year, the transaction volume of our Taohua.com has reached

Eight hundred thousand, this is because the works sold on Taohua.com are all contemporary calligraphy and painting works, many of which are works by art school students, so the value is not high, and most of them cost hundreds to thousands."

"In other words, in nearly a year, you sold hundreds of paintings?" Yang Bo asked.

Jing Shaohua nodded, "This is just the beginning. After all, opening up the market is the most difficult thing. With the company's operation and promotion, the subsequent transaction volume will inevitably reach a new level. We have set three goals for this year.

Ten million!"

Looking at Jing Shaohua's three fingers, Yang Bo smiled softly. Jing Shaohua is a master's student who graduated from Dijing Art Institute. After two years of work after graduation, he chose to start a business. To be honest, Yang Bo is very optimistic about his start-up, because

The other party did not choose art trading from the beginning, but chose a niche market based on what he had learned. Although he is now engaged in contemporary art trading, he has a bright future.

Yang Bo was not willing to believe the 30 million trading target, but he did not say much, "What is your initial investment amount?"

Jing Shaohua was a little stunned. Seeing that Yang Bo was young, he thought he was a student who had followed some senior to gain knowledge, so he inevitably boasted a little. When he asked about the initial investment amount, he couldn't help but be stunned, "One

million!"

"It's not much. It's enough for the initial construction of the website, but I'm afraid there won't be much money left for subsequent publicity and promotion, right?" Yang Bo asked.

Jing Shaohua ignored the embarrassment and explained: "There are still some. After all, every transaction is profitable. Art transactions are different from others. We mainly buy the paintings of customers online, through art schools and

Cooperate with students and help them sell their paintings, and then commission based on the proportion.”

"Website construction and maintenance, labor costs, and operating costs all exist. Can I ask, what is your commission ratio for each order?" Yang Bo asked.

"Ten points."

"That's a 10% ratio, which is quite high." Yang Bo said, "As the transaction volume expands, the charging ratio will inevitably need to be reduced."

Jing Shaohua was a little funny when he saw Yang Bo's enthusiastic communication, but he was still willing to communicate with Yang Bo, "Yes, more art trading websites will definitely open in the future, and the charge ratio will definitely be reduced, but I think

, as long as our Taohua.com has established a good reputation, this lower charging standard will definitely require a slow process!"

"Are you cooperating with galleries or schools now?" Yang Bo asked.

Jing Shaohua looked at Yang Bo, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Little brother, are you also thinking about starting a business and opening a Chinese painting trading Internet cafe?"

Yang Bo glanced at Jing Shaohua, and when he saw the vigilance on his face, he laughed, "I am very optimistic about the prospects of buying a painting website. One year has passed, and your one million affirmation

You’ve almost spent it, don’t you want to look for venture capital when you come here today?”

Jing Shaohua glanced at Yang Bo, surprised, "Do you want to invest in a painting website?"

Yang Bo smiled and said, "Can't you?"

Jing Shaohua was stunned, with a look of embarrassment on his face. He had thought of many situations just now, but he had not thought of this. However, he still showed enthusiasm and hesitation about being able to obtain financing, "You

How much money can I invest?”

"How much money do you want to raise?" Yang Bo asked.

Regarding Yang Bo's big words, Jing Shaohua did not laugh, but thought seriously, "Two million!"

"You should have a self-assessment of Huahua.com. What is your valuation?" Yang Bo asked again.

"Four million!" Jing Shaohua said, looking at Yang Bo with some worry, "Will your parents give you so much money? After all, this is not a small amount."

Yang Bo couldn't help laughing, "You don't have to worry about money. We only need to talk about Taohua.com now. As long as you have an excellent team, you can let me see growth in the next promotion."

of possibility and hope, investing money is just a small matter.”

Hearing this, Jing Shaohua immediately became excited, "Okay, what else do you want to ask?"

"How many galleries and art schools do you cooperate with now?" Yang Bo asked.

"Eight galleries and two art schools." Jing Shaohua said.

Yang Bo nodded and frowned: "This quantity is a little small, but it is enough in the early stage. Next, we need more partners and we need to sign exclusive online sales and auction agreements with more painters."

"This is our next goal. We have contacted new galleries, about ten of them, and have contacted dozens of potential painters. Next, our work will definitely accelerate!" Jing Shaohua said
