Van Birsson saw that Gu Kun was so knowledgeable, but he also saved some tongues.

So he went straight to the final precautions and kindly suggested: "Since you are mentally prepared, I won't say anything else." I think it's best to appoint an auction lawyer before the auction to deal with any disputes that may arise.

Because if you collect evidence on an ad hoc basis, it may not be professional enough, and the collection will not be comprehensive. In the face of other people's challenges and arbitration applications, the effect may not be good enough. ”

Gu Kun smiled slightly: "When I salvage, I took photos and videos of many links throughout the whole process, and also marked the exact coordinates of the wreck, and left enough original remnants in the sea. But you have a point, I do need an auction lawyer - you don't have to worry about the two masters, you can introduce a reliable one, and the fee is calculated with the commission anyway. I would like to find a Dutch lawyer, or a French-German lawyer. ”

Although Gu Kun is sure, even if the Filipinos or Spaniards jump out to question it in the future, they won't be able to take anything away.

But as long as the other party muddies the waters and successfully applies to arbitration, it will also be a trouble.

If the other party delays him for several months or even a year and a half, the rhythm of the auction cycle will not be able to make up the line.

"Okay, then I'll find you one that meets your conditions. Gu, your distrust of the Bretanians is really written on your face. Van Birsson smiled and agreed, then hung up.

At noon that day, he hired a lawyer and approached Gu Kun, and the three of them had lunch together at an upscale café near Van Bilsson's office.

"This Miss Sofia Grimalty, who is French but definitely Dutch, has been working with her for several years. He is very careful, good at the pre-trial part, and the cost is relatively low. Van Birsson was in the center for the two sides.

It was a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old woman, who looked like a Frenchman, and used perfume very much.

Fortunately, Gu Kun's lung capacity is amazing, and he doesn't need to breathe when he talks to the other party for a short time, so he is immune to perfume.

Gu Kun questioned officially: "Lawyer Sophia, I hope you won't let me down, I heard that your full service fee is 1.5% of the auction target, which is not cheap." IMHO, your age and practice experience ......"

Gu Kun's English is not very good, so Van Bilsson also helped him translate some in the center.

After listening to Sophia, her response was very direct and capable: "I charge 1.5% for risk agency, if you think it's expensive, you can choose the non-risk mode, as long as 0.5% of the auction object." ”

Gu Kun nodded subconsciously: "Then how can your so-called risk be considered a successful agent?"

Sophia held out a finger: "You want the auction to start on May 1st, right? I can guarantee that you will not delay the auction for more than one month due to other international defenses."

In other words, if you can't complete the auction in May because of a legal dispute, I won't charge the lawyer's fee. Of course, if the extension is due to reasons other than legal disputes, it has nothing to do with me. ”

"That's very reasonable, if you delay it for an extra month, the interest will be a lot of money. Gu Kun nodded, indicating that he accepted this condition.

He calculated that if he sold it for $20 million, he would have to pay Sophia $300,000 in legal fees.

Sure enough, in this industry, a determined and pretentious lawyer, but a relatively young lawyer, can only choose this way to take orders. Otherwise, people won't believe you at all.

As if to show her strength, after the two sides chatted in-depth for a while, Sophia also took the initiative to put forward several suggestions for Gu Kun to prepare for the auction:

"Gu, I want to know whether my client is willing to be high-profile and make it their first priority to get a high price, or whether to sell things steadily and get the money in their hands as their first priority.

This will affect my preparation style - IMHO, your property rights are very clear this time, in fact, if you are a little bolder, it will be very good for you to hype. ”

Gu Kun: "What do you mean?"

Sophia: "I mean, you did a very good job of pre-obtaining evidence for this shipwreck, even if others come to question you, apply for arbitration and freeze, it will not be successful." So, in fact, you should be more worried that they will not dare to question you or apply for arbitration.

If you want, I can be a little weaker in the initial disclosure in March, and try to lure the other party into questioning and giving them some hope. In that case, the controversy will easily make it to newspapers, TV news programs, and the hype will make it easier for the final lot to fetch a high price.

However, you are also in this industry, you should know that many boat fishing people are afraid of becoming famous, they are afraid of being envied, so they will not enjoy the premium dividend of fishing hype.

If you use phishing, you will disgrace the Philippine authorities who have failed in the end. And if you catch the defenses of Spain, Peru, Bolivia, and other minimally relevant countries, and reject them one by one, they will also lose face.

In this way, you have to weigh whether you will not be welcomed by these countries in the future, and whether you will have trouble going to those countries in the future.

Personally, I certainly want you to hype up because you sell expensive. I also have a lot of percentage commissions, but I have to make it clear to you in the end. This trick is not new, when they sold the bronze beast head of the Old Summer Palace, they also deliberately provoked your Chinese media first, exaggerated the hype, brought up the rhythm of the national attention and emotion, and then let the rich Chinese businessmen spend a lot of money to buy it back by means of buying after the failure of the defense.

If you can anger the authorities in the Philippines or Spain and take advantage of their national sentiment to redeem the national treasure at a high price, then you can certainly earn a much higher premium at a normal auction. ”

These Dutch lawyers are really despicable about how to be a childcare.

But Gu Kun likes it.

Anyway, Spain and the Philippines are countries that are not afraid of offending, and as for Peru and Bolivia, which have little chance of jumping out, Gu Kun will never intersect in his life.

"I'm sure you're worth 1.5% of the turnover's legal fees. Miss Sophia, you know, I just like the joy of you Dutch people selling their country for glory, come, toast. ”

The three parties toasted with laughter, and after Sophia smiled and drank the wine, she responded politely: "First of all, thank you for your compliment, but this time I really didn't 'betray the country for glory' - don't get me wrong, I'm not afraid to do it, just to clarify a fact."

You Chinese people always like to think of all Westerners as 'foreigners'. But 'foreign' is not a country, I am French, Dutch. Whether or not the Spaniards and Filipinos will lose face and pay more for this is completely out of my mind, and I'm definitely prioritizing my commission. Of course, if one day the customer really needs it, I can sell the Netherlands. ”

Let Jinyiwei kill his beloved relatives and friends, siblings, of course, it is not impossible.

Gotta add money.

......

With Van Biersson and Sophia, the two old yin and little yin bi worrying about the auction and speculation, Gu Kun doesn't have to worry about the business in Europe for the time being.

He and Ko stayed in the Netherlands for only one night, and they were ready to return home, passing through Hekland on the way and lingering for two more days.

He took advantage of the business relationship he had opened up by buying a ship before, and introduced a few friends to buy some light equipment. In the future, it will be delivered back to Lanfang through regular shipping channels as the equipment required to open a security company.

Until the mid-90s, it was too easy to get insensitive conventional weapons from Black Crane, so there was nothing to dwell on in the process.

It didn't cost much in total, hundreds of thousands of dollars, to buy two BTR-80 wheeled armored personnel carriers for urban warfare,

Plus enough to arm a platoon of various light weapons, CPC ceramic-lined body armor, K6 titanium alloy helmet.

However, the original Soviet-style K6 helmet does not have a personal walkie-talkie, and the modified version has to be equipped with additional German goods.

People who are not military fans may not be familiar with CPC lined body armor and K6 titanium alloy helmets. However, as long as you know that these two things are the prototypes of the third-level armor and third-level head in the chicken, it is easy to understand.

Gu Kun has been living that hard life at sea since he went to sea during the winter vacation, and since he is now passing by Kherson and Nikolaev, of course he has to stay at the Mankaski Hotel, and then summon Midlova to Lin Xing for a few days to relieve his heart of depression.

Needless to say, these are the things.

During the two days of his vacation in Heckland, he did not forget to hang up the phone to his close friends and partners in China.

lest there be something important that he needs to deal with urgently, and he will go too far and make a mistake.

Playing with foreign girls on vacation can only be used as relaxation, and you can't miss the right thing because of this. He still has a lot of urgency in his heart.

After a round of international calls, he really heard about two things that were quite important.

The source of the news is Tang Jia, because she is from the Liaison Department of the Jiaotong Student Union, and she is also responsible for contacting international students. So if someone comes to the school to find Gu Kun, she knows it:

"Gu Kun, let's go back to China as soon as you're done, Coach Chen of the school swimming team has been looking for you for several days, and the school leaders in charge of special enrollment have also asked. This year's World Universiade will be held in Fukuoka in August.

The domestic qualifiers are about to end, and you haven't trained with the school team once, even if you are a freshman, everyone has no expectations for your results, but if you don't even go to the selection competition, it's a bit unreasonable, and it belongs to not fulfilling the special enrollment obligation. ”

In the World University Games, the qualification for swimming events does not require the results of other international or national official competitions as a prerequisite.

Instead, it directly sets an absolute speed score line for A and B, and if you can swim to this speed, you will be eligible to participate in international competitions. This is much more convenient than those adversarial projects, and it is also conducive to the emergence of newcomers.

This is also where the athletics and swimming classes are refreshing.

If you encounter various ball games, or diving gymnastics and the like that need to be subjectively scored, then you have to participate in lower-level events round by round to accumulate international ranking points, then Gu Kun, who has never participated in pre-competitions, will definitely be completely disqualified.

Gu Kun: "Okay, I understand, I'll go back to China as soon as possible." When is the domestic tryout?"

Tang Jia: "It's the end of this month." ”

Gu Kun counted the days, but he didn't delay his auction to return to the capital, and it happened that this month was interspersed with this matter.

"Thanks, I see, is anyone looking for me?"

"A few days ago, there was a friend who said that he was your friend in the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Affairs, and he came to you twice, but it didn't seem to be a big deal, and I said that you hadn't returned to China yet, and he gave up. ”

"Got it, I'll go back to China to visit as soon as possible. Then I went back to school. ”
