Julien Cohen: his rant after a discussion with his youngest

Julien Cohen has long been one of the flagship buyers of Sophie Davant’s show, Deal done. His famous blue glasses contributed to the success of this antique dealer, who did not hesitate to raise the stakes and tease his best enemy, Caroline Margeridon. He had announced his decision to leave the program which had revealed him, in December 2021. But since then, he has been far from running out of projects. He had teased, last August, the release of a magazine dedicated to flea markets. He also acquired the Hôtel-Dieu in Châteaudun, in Eure-et-Loir, to open his fourth second-hand goods village.

“She is 17 years old, she passes the baccalaureate in March”

The antique dealer does not hesitate to rant at subjects that annoy him. Last January, he did not hide his amazement when he discovered his astronomical electricity bill for his current construction site. “I received an invoice from EDF which put my ass on the ground. Here, we are just in the works”, he said. Before revealing the amount: “14,000 euros of electricity in one month for this project“.”It is clear that I will make an appeal because it is not possible. I don’t see how we could spend that“, he lamented. This Tuesday, January 14, the junk dealer appeared disillusioned on his Instagram account after a discussion with his youngest about his professional orientation. “She is 17 years old, she passes the baccalaureate in March. It is getting earlier and earlier for the baccalaureate. Soon, they will pass it in December. And she says to me: ‘Dad, here it is. Parcoursup and I have to make my choices’. ‘The choice of what, Chérie?’ She said to me: ‘My choice of studies'”began the second-hand dealer.

A final conclusion on youth

Julien Cohen was flabbergasted to learn that she had to make ten choices to determine her future. According to him, making ten amounts to making none in the end. His daughter thus aspires to get into the hotel business, to become an air hostess or a naturopath…”That’s 40 different jobs, Honey. What is this mess”, reacted the antique dealer to this disparate inventory. Her daughter does not know what she wants to do, like her classmates for that matter, and only aspires to continue her studies. “I think it’s a mess in the heads of our kids“concluded the former buyer of‘Deal done. “I believe that by dint of giving them 10,000 different choices, in total, they no longer do anything. And when they do, they have not made the right choice in the end and they realize two years later or at the end of one, that they did not want to do medicine but lawyer”, he continued. “And in the end, it’s frustrated”, he said sorry. He recalled in passing that social networks did not help them to flourish. “I try to explain myself to the youngest, but it’s complicated, very, very complicated against 5 hours on the phone a day”, he added. His conclusion was final. “I find that our kids are becoming more and more stupid and that’s not good for the future”, he observed.
