The Amazing son in law Chapter 6666

To avoid losing the last three months of the lease, the manager of Zhenbaoxuan quickly contacted the landlord and gathered several colleagues to assess the inventory.

Deciding to cut losses is always a tough call, but once the decision is made and the action taken, there’s nothing that can’t be let go.

The landlord was quite pleased. He had successfully secured a new tenant for the property. Had he not found someone willing to continue renting when the current lease expired, he would have faced the daunting task of finding a new tenant, along with the risk of losing rental income.

Upon arrival, he swiftly signed an agreement with the two parties to transfer the remaining three months of the lease and established a new contract with Zhou Liangyun. Zhou Liangyun wouldn’t need to make any immediate payments; instead, he would pay the rent when the three-month term ended. He simply had to ensure the rent was transferred to the landlord before the new lease commenced.

After the agreement was finalized, colleagues in similar businesses on Antique Street began to arrive at the location.

It’s common for merchants in this area to visit each other’s shops to check on inventory levels.

When a peer decides to cease operations or stop personally selling remaining stock, it typically indicates they are willing to sell at prices below cost.

This means that an item worth one hundred yuan could often be purchased for seventy or eighty yuan, making it a far better deal than sourcing the items elsewhere.

As the boss watched his colleagues clear out the inventory in under half an hour, he remarked to Zhou Liangyun, “It’s true what they say: sometimes you just have to cut losses! In the past, looking at this pile gave me a headache, but now that it’s all gone, I feel a weight lifted off my shoulders. Sure, I’ve lost a lot of money, but at least my mood has improved.”

Zhou Liangyun nodded in agreement, saying, “They say out of sight is out of mind, and that’s certainly accurate. When these items become a burden, despite their potential value, they only contribute to negative emotions until they’re sold. Each day of frustration equals an invisible loss.”

The boss acknowledged this, sharing, “You’re right! I remember the oil stock I bought years ago; from the very next day, it was clear that I should have cut my losses. Unfortunately, I buried my head in the sand, hoping my investment would recover. More than a decade later, accounting for inflation, I’ve lost at least 90%.”

Zhou Liangyun smiled slightly, noting that many people share this mentality. They hesitate and cling to unrealistic hopes, making them ill-suited for investment and unable to grasp the right moment to stop losses or take profits.

As the inventory was nearly cleared, the boss called some friends to help pack up the remaining personal items and arranged for a small truck to transport everything. He then mentioned to Zhou Liangyun, “These children’s tables, chairs, and benches are quite old and unsellable, but it seems wasteful to just give them away. I figure you might not want them, but they could be useful for you temporarily. It’ll take time to order new ones, and you can return them once the new furniture arrives.”

“Alright,” Zhou Liangyun replied.

The boss added, “Oh, and I won’t remove the store sign. If you want to change it later, you can have someone take it down then.”

Zhou Liangyun smiled, saying, “The term ‘Zhen’ is overused in the industry. There are plenty of them, but I can’t be bothered to think of a new name right now. I’ll change it later, swapping ‘Zhen Baoxuan’ for ‘Selected Zhen’…”

By noon, the handover of Zhou Liangyun’s new shop was complete.

He chose not to remove the Zhen Baoxuan sign but instead purchased a set of Four Treasures of the Study from the street and temporarily wrote the three bold characters “Zhen Baoxuan” on rice paper.

He decided to focus on collecting and appraising antiques, feeling the word “Zhen” captured this mission perfectly. While it shares a pronunciation with “Zhen” for “Zhenzhu,” they convey entirely different artistic meanings. The latter suggests a shop overflowing with treasures, while the former indicates that this place excels at selection and evaluation.
