Hong Kong, near Admiralty Plaza, Mong Kok,

Christie's auction house ---

As one of the most authoritative auction houses in Hong Kong, Christie's is well-known throughout Hong Kong.

It can be said that one-third of all art auctions in Hong Kong take place at Christie's and are sold.

At this moment, an auction is being carried out fiercely in Christie's auction house.

What was auctioned off was a Russian work of art, a collection of manuscript poems by the great Russian poet Pushkin --- "Fairy Tale Poems".

Who Pushkin is, it is estimated that anyone who loves literature knows that the great Russian writer is full of dramatic life.

Manuscript auctions in this era, as in later generations, were very intense. So from the beginning of the auction, the atmosphere became tense.

The rich and noble people who poured in from all over Hong Kong were all eyeing the poems of this rare Russian writer.

Therefore, the auction hall is not big or small, and it is actually full of people.

As far as the eye can see, in addition to some Hong Kong locals, there are also many blonde and blue-eyed ghosts, sitting densely on the auction seats, exchanging heads with each other.

In the face of this full house of almost three or four hundred bidders, Peter Chen, the person in charge of Christie's auction house, who was in charge of the auction, was also nervous.

……

As an Englishman who has worked at Christie's auction house for many years, Peter Chen's original name was not Peter Chen, but after working in Hong Kong, in order to be highly integrated into the work here, he gave such a name.

In any case, Peter Chan's work here has been very successful, especially with the rise of the art auction market in Hong Kong, where Christie's now sells more logs than Birmingham and Manchester in the UK, and second only to cities such as London.

Because of this, Christie's auction company's London headquarters decided to give Peter Chen a promotion and salary increase at the end of this year, if the auction results in Hong Kong can continue to rise steadily, so that he can become a role model for the auction house.

To put it bluntly, the auction house should set an "example" and a "model worker", and let the staff of all chain auction houses learn from Peter Chen together, so as to create good results for the company.

Peter Chen is also a caring person, since he learned about the "inside information" of the head office, he has been working hard to show himself, to improve his performance, and let everyone know how good he Peter Chen is in Hong Kong.

However, holding an auction is different from selling strong pills with a big knife on the street.

After all, if you're going to run an art auction, you have to have someone to provide you with art and get it up for auction.

That's what Peter Chen's headache is.

Although Hong Kong is an international metropolis, it is a very small place after all, so how can so many works of art be auctioned? In the past, he handled almost all the works of art collected from the mainland, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia, because he received less rebates for auctions, so he handed them over to his company for auction.

But now---

In order to rush for performance, just one or two works of art can't satisfy his appetite at all, and Peter Chen needs a lot, a large number of artworks that are enough to make him king in the auction world!

Just when Peter Chen was extremely distressed, a person appeared, to be precise, a savior appeared, he was --- Song Zhichao, the big boss of Wanda Trading Company.

Peter Chen never imagined in his life that he would be so grateful to someone at his age, and he was still a young man under the age of twenty.

Peter Chen can't forget the scene when he met Song Zhichao for the first time.

It was a rainy day, and Peter Chan drove from his home to the auction house near Mong Kok as usual.

Just when he got out of the car with an umbrella, locked the car door with his briefcase, and turned around and walked towards the door of the company, he saw two people waiting at the door of the company at a glance.

A tall, bald guy holding a black business umbrella, and under the umbrella is a young man in a white suit.

Peter Chen has never seen a young man who can wear a suit so handsome and chic.

How to say it, the suit is different from the double-breasted large suit that is now all over the street, but the kind of very chic and compact tight-fitting suit, so that the young man in front of him is more upright and handsome.

For the first time, Peter Chen thought that the other party was some kind of movie or TV star, so he walked over without paying much attention.

Unexpectedly, when the young man saw him coming, he took the initiative to greet him and called out his name, "Mr. Peter Chen".

Only then did Peter Chen know that the other party was waiting for himself when he was waiting here.

Next, the handsome young man invited Peter Chen to sit in a nearby café.

Peter Chen was not polite and followed.

In the café, two people are seated.

Peter Chen ordered a "cappuccino", and the young man ordered a cup of black coffee.

The two stirred coffee, and the handsome young man introduced himself and said that his name was Song Zhichao and he was the boss of Wanda Trading Company.

Peter Chen has always been busy with art auctions, busy with his own work, and is not very familiar with some rights and wrongs in Hong Kong, so after listening to Song Zhichao's self-introduction, he still looked confused.

It wasn't until Song Zhichao took the initiative to introduce that he had some unusual artworks in his hands and wanted Christie's auction house to help with the auction, that Peter Chen became a little interested in Song Zhichao.

However, this interest is only a little bit.

Because in Peter Chen's view, Song Zhichao is too young, and the so-called boss of Wanda Trading Company is likely to be some fooling people's rhetoric, and he has seen a lot of this kind of Hong Kong person.

Last time, there was a son who was said to be a rich son in Hong Kong, who ran a shop with a market value of hundreds of millions of dollars, and asked him to help auction a family heirloom in the family.

In the end, Peter Chen learned through inquiry that the other party was the son of a grocery store owner on Temple Street, and their grocery store, not to mention hundreds of millions, was not worth it.

As for their heirloom, it is a clay jar for pickling pickles dug up from the construction site, and after identification, the age is definitely beyond the Republic of China.

Because of this, the first time I met Peter Chen, I thought that Song Zhichao, like many Chinese, is a young man who likes to brag, what Wanda boss, is there such a young boss in Hong Kong?

However, out of politeness, Peter Chen still politely asked Song Zhichao what kind of help he needed, if there was really a good thing for him to help with the auction, he would give strong support and assistance, and said that the service tenet of their Christie's auction company is "two hearts", --- auction is comfortable and buy at ease!

Song Zhichao smiled and said, "I have mentioned that there are some artworks that I hope you can help with the auction." ”

"I don't know how much art you have?" After coming to Hong Kong for so long, Peter Chen can speak a few words of Cantonese, holding a coffee cup, tasting it, and asking casually.

Song Zhichao smiled slightly, "Not much, three hundred!"

With a snort, Peter Chen was so surprised that he almost squirted the coffee out of his mouth.

Three hundred?

For Peter Chen, having handled so many auctions in Hong Kong, let alone 300 pieces, even 30 pieces is a super grand auction, let alone 300 pieces?

From this moment on, Peter Chen had to be impressed by the young man named Song Zhichao in front of him.

Hurriedly sorted out his appearance, and corrected his attitude, turned the contempt just now into attention, and asked Song Zhichao in an almost verifiable tone: "Excuse me, is it true?"

Song Zhichao's answer was simple: "Yes!"

Just two words!
