Power and Wealth
Chapter 123 [Auction Company]
The next day.
Peking City.
Regarding the reason for the transfer of the work of Yunxuan Dong Xuebin, although he had a lot to ask, the first time he returned to Beijing, he did not return to the north entrance of Peace Street, but thought of auctioning off the pearl necklace in the password box first. Otherwise, he was really worried about taking it in his own hands, afraid that someone would steal it without paying attention. So after getting off the train and having lunch, Dong Xuebin took the bus to South Xinhua Street. Not far from the front door of Xinhua Bookstore, he talked to a newspaper selling woman, and Dong Xuebin walked into the realm of Dongliu factory.
Hanhai auction house.
The place is not very large. Three or two people gathered together and whispered something. One person held something similar to Yuan Qinghua, and one person held a bronze ding. It seems that experts are appraising them. Only after the appraisal can we determine whether something can be auctioned or not. The auction company on the second floor of Dongliu Glass Factory is not the actual auction location. The auction generally selects the hotel conference hall depending on its size. It is only responsible for accepting and evaluating the auction.
Dong Xuebin walked to the front desk and pointed at a female staff member at the back: “I have something I want to film. ”
The female staff looked at him and said, "Hello sir, what type of things do you have? ”
“Jewelry bar.” Dong Xuebin: “Pearl necklace. ”
“Okay, one moment please.” The female staff member picked up the phone and said a few words to the other side, then she dropped the phone and hung up her professional smile: “Teacher Sun will be right down, please sit down and wait. ”
“Okay.”
There is a water dispenser in the sitting area, Dong Xuebin is not welcome, poured a cup of hot water grunting and drank his stomach.
Soon, a man, not too old, in his thirties, walked down the stairs. When the female staff pointed at him, Dong Xuebin dropped the cup to greet the past. Teacher Sun looked at the password box in Dong Xuebin's hand and smiled: “Shall I see something first? ”
Dong Xuebin was afraid of people's eyes. “Can you change places? ”
Teacher Sun hesitated and nodded: “Okay, then follow me. ”
In an office on the second floor.
“Oh, nobody bothers here anymore.” Teacher Sun sat on the leather sofa with him, "is that a pearl necklace? Where'd you get it? Ever been identified before? ”
“Not authenticated, went to Zhuji and just received it. ”
“Oh?”
Dong Xuebin twisted the password and opened the box. “Why don't you show me? ”
In fact, Dong Xuebin asked too many questions. He saw the pearls coming out of the clams with his own eyes. Of course, there can be no fake ones.
Teacher Sun did not take it seriously. He is responsible for the identification of jewellery. Every day he sees jewellery he wants to be photographed countless times, but 95 percent of the items are not worth photographing, because a lot of things are bought from the mall, which is no longer necessary to photograph. After hearing him say it is a pearl necklace, Teacher Sun has a rough impression in his heart. I think it's probably a few centimeters of ordinary color. But when he sees the golden pearls and almost every pearl has a diameter of 1.5 centimeters, Teacher Sun stood still, “Golden pearl? Oh, this is the baby. ”
“Do you see any big auction plans in the near future? ”
“Wait till I see it again.” Teacher Sun looked at Dong Xuebin with great surprise. I didn't expect him to take out such a baby. He carefully removed the pearl necklace from the box. Teacher Sun looked at it carefully and repeatedly, and took some magnifying glass and other tools for a long time. Then he exclaimed: “Good stuff! Good stuff! The only slight pity is that this chain in pearls matches this string of pearls... it doesn't match very well, the chain is a little early, um, but it's also harmless and elegant. ”
Zhuji Shi Dong Xuebin is anxious to see the finished product, so the process may be a little stealing to reduce the material.
After making a call, Sun Teacher said: "Let's sign an agreement. Your necklace will be sent to us for the time being. If you agree, I would like to change the chain for you again. This will sell better. The transaction price may be higher. What do you think? ”
People are professional, Dong Xuebin is of course convinced, “Cheng, listen to you. ”
Teacher Sun added: "When do you want to shoot? Autumn auction has just ended, spring auction is months away, there has not been much auction on this side of Hanhai lately, I suggest you wait, there will be a big auction in about a month or two, otherwise it can wait until spring..."
Dong Xuebin interrupted: “I can't wait that long.” He also knows that Chun Zhao Qiu is the biggest auction in China. Most of the auctions that go up can have a good price. But Aunt Xuan's work has caused problems. Under the circumstances of sinful leadership, she must have had a hard time. She may resign at some point, so it is precisely when money is needed to start a business, Dong Xuebin must get the money as soon as possible. "Can you hurry up, or let's go to the latest auction? ”
Teacher Sun laughed bitterly: "I think you have the potential to make a high price for this item. If you insist on it as soon as possible, I will arrange it.” Teacher Sun nodded and thought he might be in a hurry to use the money. "The fastest one seems to be forecast tomorrow. It's a small auction. If the buyer pays quickly after the forecast, the money will be placed on your account on the fifth day of the fourth day. ”
Hey, fast enough, “Okay, that's it. ”
“… Are you sure? ”
Dong Xuebin shouted, “You can't even shoot a million yuan if you tap? ”
“Oh, that's not to say, things are so good, there's a million and a half. ”
One million two hundred thousand, excluding the commission and taxes of the auction and all other expenses, Dong Xuebin also has about one million yuan in his hand. His expected goal is this, um, even if the chain is put on a spring auction, it's not much more than this. There's no need to wait two months for the extra tens of thousands of yuan, he doesn't have the time, “Okay, so put on this little auction, um, you think the starting price...”
As soon as Teacher Sun shrugged, “Lower it, report 500,000, I think it would be appropriate, the price should be called up a little bit, the atmosphere should be driven a little bit, the transaction price may be higher in the end, of course, this is just my personal suggestion, if you...”
Dong Xuebin didn't want to either: “Listen to you, just 500,000. ”
After discussing the details, Dong Xuebin signed the agreement satisfactorily. The pearl necklace was left for processing on the Hanhai side. Dong Xuebin left the glass factory with an empty password box and went home by car.
Two or three days to go... whoops, just waiting to collect after the auction!!
