Chapter 122: Secretly Trickster
"When it comes to on-site security, I have a good choice. Hearing Su Chen's question, Lin Xiongye said, "This time it is led by the government, and the protection of the police must be wanted, but it must not be fully protected, I know that a security company is more famous in Jiangnan Province and has a good reputation, so I can hand over some dark security work to them at the scene." ”
Hearing that Lin Xiongye had already thought about it, Su Chen nodded, and secretly said that Jiang was really still old and spicy.
There are some other problems, Su Chen doesn't know much about the auction industry, and he can only leave these to Lin Xiongye to deal with.
The two discussed this matter until midnight.
After Lin Xiongye left, Su Chen had time to wash and rest.
The next day, the news that Lin Xiongye obtained the right to organize the second large-scale auction in Jinnan City spread throughout the antique community in Jinnan City.
Ancient Sacred Fasting.
When He Wenchang heard the news, he was very stunned, and hurriedly asked his son He Tian to go out to investigate.
During this time, he had been paying attention to the matter of the burial pit brought back by Lu Ming, and the preparations of those masters of the "Master's Gate" were almost ready, which also led to him almost not paying much attention to the local news in Jinnan City.
"Tian'er, find out if you have not, why was Lin Xiongye alone to get the right to organize this auction?"
He Tian's face was a little ugly: "Dad, it's not clear, it is said that it was an order personally issued by the director of the Cultural Bureau, but the specifics, the time is too tight." ”
"Forget it, it's not long before the auction, and even if you really find out, it's useless. He Wenchang waved his hand a little irritably.
Although the main energy of the He family has been on the artifact, but Gu Shengzhai is also the top antique shop in Jinnan City, and he He Wenchang is also one of the best figures in the Jinnan antique circle.
"Dad, is that all. If this auction is successful, Lin Xiongye's status in the antique industry in Jinnan City will surpass you. When the time comes, my life will not be so good. He Tian said a little unwillingly.
Hearing He Tian's words with a hint of resentment, He Wenchang raised his head, glanced at him, and said, "Are you still thinking about how to take revenge on that Su Chen?"
"Dad, I ......" was said to be the central matter, and He Tian's face changed slightly.
"Hmph, I said, it's not appropriate to make extraneous branches at this time, that Su Chen is still of great use to me. He Wenchang said in a deep voice.
"I know, Dad. I haven't been provoking him lately. He Tian was a little depressed.
"Well, that's fine. He Wenchang nodded with satisfaction, pondered for a while, and then said, "But you are right, continuing to let Lin Xiongye develop will be very disadvantageous to my Gu Shengzhai after all." But I'm going to talk about that recently, so I'll leave the auction matter to you. ”
"Yes, Dad, I know. With He Wenchang's permission, He Tian's expression immediately perked up.
Because the day of the auction is not far away, Lin Xiongye and Su Chen have been busy with this matter in the past few days, and even Lin Wanqing is running around, and they can't stop.
The main thing is to contact the auction item.
For such a big auction, it is absolutely impossible to support it with the strength of Lin Xiongye and Su Chen alone. After all, this level, even antique collectors from other cities and even other provinces will come, and there will be standards for the quantity and quality of the collections, at least, the quantity shall not be less than 100 pieces, and the quality and price shall not be less than 300,000.
Of course, these standards were all proposed by Su Chen and Lin Xiongye last night, and what he meant was that either he didn't do it, and since he did it, he did it best.
After all, participating in an auction is mutually beneficial for both the auction organizer and the owner of the lot.
It is that the original few Jinnan antique circle bigwigs who have a considerable status with Lin Xiongye may be a little unhappy, after all, the organization of the previous two auctions was the cooperation of several antique shops, and now that Lin Xiongye is alone, there will always be some dissatisfaction.
However, even so, on the last day before the auction, the number of lots still did not meet the requirements.
"Su Chen, if it's not ninety-eight, it's ninety-eight, the quality of the antiques in this auction is quite high, and there are five antiques worth at least five million, including your Longshan black pottery, if this auction is held, it will definitely be a great success." ”
Seeing Su Chen, who was futile and irritable there, Lin Wanqing persuaded softly.
"No, Wanqing, when I first advertised, I said that there were more than 100 precious antiques, and if there were only ninety-eight by then, it would be a big blow to your family's industry and pawnshop. Su Chen said helplessly.
I knew I wouldn't have bragged at the beginning.
After all, if it is promoted by the heart, it will cause the image of the lack of strength of antique shops such as the Treasure Pavilion, and even if the auction is successful, the effect will be greatly reduced.
"Ah, why don't we go to another antique store to collect two antiques that match?" Lin Wanqing thought for a moment and made a feasible suggestion.
"That's all I can do, I hope it doesn't be known by those who have a heart. Su Chen pondered for a moment and nodded.
However, things have developed in a way that backfired.
In one morning, Su Chen and Lin Wanqing walked all over the slightly larger antique shops in Jinnan City, not to mention that there were no antiques that met the standards, but the price greatly surprised the two of them.
Originally, an antique worth more than 300,000 yuan, the shopkeeper actually bid 500,000, 600,000, or even higher.
Even if Su Chen was rich, it was impossible to agree to such a bid that was obviously not in line with the market price, and even Lin Wanqing looked angry.
"Hmph, this is a robbery while the fire is burning. Lin Wanqing gritted her teeth, walked out of an antique shop again, and said angrily.
Su Chen took a deep breath and said expressionlessly, "It seems that we have really been targeted. ”
In this case, if Lin Wanqing can't detect it, it will really be stupid and sweet: "Then what should I do? Now almost all the antiques that meet the requirements of those antique shops have increased their prices." ”
Although he didn't know which guy was behind this incident, or which guys were bad, Su Chen knew that he himself was partly responsible for such a thing.
After all, in order to achieve the goal of blockbuster results, in the auction brochure, it is advertised that there is no antique with a market value of less than 300,000 yuan, otherwise, where is there such trouble, just take out two antiques from your own antique shop.
"Alas, sure enough, people still have to keep a low profile and not pretend to be too forced. Su Chen muttered in a low voice.
"Ah, what are you talking about?" Lin Wanqing kept thinking about things, and didn't hear Su Chen's words clearly for a while.
"Nothing. ”
"Oh, otherwise, Su Chen, let's buy two antiques at a high price, otherwise, it's too late. Lin Wanqing said a little unwillingly.
"No, buy it at a high price, they won't necessarily sell it. Su Chen shook his head and said.
Since those guys have made such a big move, they may not be able to successfully acquire it if they pay a high price.
"Let's go, let's go to the antique street first. Su Chen had an idea in his heart and said to Lin Wanqing.
"Do you want to go to Taobao?" Lin Wanqing instantly thought of Su Chen's idea.
Su Chen smiled faintly and was noncommittal.
Antique Street, that is, the largest antique trading market in Jinnan City, is mixed with fish and dragons, and there are all kinds of people from three religions and nine streams.
When the two stepped into the antique street, a figure appeared in the crowd, stared at them tightly, and then took out a phone.
"It's a little bit of a day, and I saw them enter the antique street...... Yes, I understand. ”
Hanging up the phone, this guy beckoned, and two more people appeared beside him, and then the three of them followed the pace of Su Chen and the others.
In Gu Shengzhai, He Tian put down his mobile phone, looked at Li Sen who was sitting on the side, and said with a smile: "Sen Shao, it's done, the surname Su really went to the antique street, hum, I want to pick up the leak." ”
Li Sen nodded calmly, with a smile on his face, and said, "This time I wasted so much effort, and the surname Su really took the bait." ”
"Of course, the name of the Xingchen Group, those antique shops, how can they not sell Sen Shao's face, think about it, it won't be long before that guy Su Chen will come to us with that piece of old rosewood. He Tian was overjoyed.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and a smug laugh came out of Gu Shengzhai.
On the antique street, looking at the endless flow of people, Lin Wanqing recalled the first time she met Su Chen, and a knowing smile appeared on her face: "Su Chen, do you remember the first time the two of us met?"
"Of course I do. Su Chen was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "If it weren't for you, I don't know where I would still be wandering now." ”
While chatting, Su Chen paid attention to the antiques on the stalls on both sides.
It's also strange to say that in the antique street, the most common thing is that there is a piece of cloth on the place, and then there are objects on it that look like that.
In this case, the first feeling is that there is a leak to pick up.
It is this slightly guiding first feeling that has led to the popularity of this kind of stall. But in fact, where are there so many leaks to pick up, the people here are all human spirits, and it is even more difficult to meet a novice.
Halfway through this, Su Chen also saw two real things.
These two are still the kind of objects with very low value and a lot of existence, which are not attractive to Su Chen.
When he was about to pass a stall again, Su Chen's steps paused, then took a step back slightly, and moved his gaze to a somewhat broken cup on the stall.
Seeing Su Chen stop, Lin Wanqing's heart moved, but she didn't show anything unusual.
"Boss, how much does this cup cost?" Su Chen squatted down, picked up the cup directly, and asked.
The stall owner took a look at it and saw that it was a broken cup, and stretched out two fingers.
"Two thousand...... Do you have the broken part of this cup?" asked Su Chen again.
Looking at the young man in front of him in some surprise, the stall owner pointed to the side without saying a word, and sure enough, there was a broken part.
"Okay, add a glass of ......" Su Chen was about to nod, when a person suddenly sprang out and picked up the fragment directly.
"Boss, three thousand yuan, cup and this fragment, I want it. This person's voice was like a cannon, and he rushed in front of Su Chen and said.
The boss was stunned for a moment, how could someone still grab it, but if he could sell it for an extra thousand yuan, he was naturally willing, and immediately nodded and smiled: "Okay, good, three thousand, deal." ”
"Hey, why are you like this? This is obviously the first thing we saw. Lin Wanqing couldn't stand it anymore, she knew that what Su Chen liked must be genuine, and now she was actually the first to take the lead, how could she bear it.
I saw that the one who snatched this cup was an ordinary-looking guy, but there was a shrewdness in your eyes, and after listening to Lin Wanqing's words, he smiled disdainfully: "The first thing you saw was yours, and I also saw the objects in the Palace Museum, which are also mine?"
