Chen Dongsheng in front of him looks like a businessman when he speaks, but he still has the bookish air of a scholar. There is still a big gap with the big guy that Li Xian knew later.

Although Li Xian has never seen this, he has heard of this name.

It's just that he remembers that this person is an insurance company, and how can he start an auction house now?

But no matter what he does now, such an industry tycoon Li Xian has to pay attention to it. After politely taking the business card, he introduced the person into the house.

Chen Dongsheng and his entourage sat down in the hall of the mansion, and subconsciously looked at the hall. Li Xian noticed that when he saw the old furniture in that room, his eyes were shining.

At this time, Su Ya brought in with tea. After thanking Su Ya, Chen Dongsheng took the tea bowl, didn't drink it, and put it aside.

Li Xian smiled, "Where is Mr. Chen?"

"Oh, Hubei Tianmen. Chen Dongsheng was very polite.

Li Xian nodded and praised: "Chu Jinglingyi, on the bank of Jinmen, a good place." ”

politely praised people's hometowns, and he smiled: "Mr. Chen, the rules here in the Northeast are small, and when we invite people to drink tea, we really invite people to drink tea." So let's talk about it first, it's too hot, and if I take a sip of tea in a while, I don't mean to send it off. Don't let me bow my head after drinking tea, you guys will be gone. ”

Although Chen Dongsheng and his entourage were wearing suits and leather shoes, they looked much more energetic than Li Xian's big pants and white vests, but now the weather outside was twenty-five or six degrees, and they were all so far away in such a poor country as Bangye, and after a few tosses, the collar of their shirts was soaked with sweat, and they had already swallowed saliva when they looked at the tea brought by Su Ya. It was only out of etiquette that I didn't dare to move. Now that he heard Li Xian's honest words, he was not polite, and he picked up the tea bowl with a smile and poured it down.

After drinking the tea, Chen Dongsheng looked at the hall with a smile, and Li Xian noticed that this guy's eyes never left his old furniture.

He picked up the tea bowl, "Mr. Chen is interested in old furniture?"

"Oh!" Chen Dongsheng immediately retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "No, no, it's just that the auction is done now, and I habitually take a few more looks at old objects." Mr. Li, you furniture...... I'm afraid it's all mahogany, right?"

Burst!

Li Xian didn't swallow a sip of tea, spraying like a whale.

Your furniture is mahogany! Your whole house is mahogany!

Lao Tzu, this is rosewood and huanghuali!

Do you want to be an auction house with your eyes?

No wonder you switch to insurance in the future!

As soon as he saw this state, Chen Dongsheng knew that he had said the wrong thing, "Mr. Li, are you okay?"

Li Xian coughed and waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, then raised his head again, and looked at Chen Dongsheng a little uncontrollably: "Mr. Chen doesn't understand antiques?"

As soon as he said this, Chen Dongsheng blushed. He sighed and said, "I'm ashamed to say Mr. Li...... Don't look at me as an auctioneer, but I really don't know much about this antique. ”

Hearing this, Li Xian became interested. didn't ask the other party what his intentions were, nor did he ask when people would leave, and directly inquired about how Chen Dongsheng thought of becoming an auction house.

I had something in my heart, and learned that although Li Xian was not the president of the Black Pottery Association, the association was funded by him, and he could speak, so Chen Dongsheng took the initiative to talk;"I was the deputy editor-in-chief of the "Management World" magazine under the Development Research Center of the State Council, and at that time, the magazine wanted to hold a large-scale evaluation of enterprises and select the 500 best enterprises in China. Because I am in charge of this matter, I can have the most intuitive access to the information of these companies, so I will make a comparison between our Fortune 500 in China and the Fortune 500 in the world, which is ......."

Chen Dongsheng smiled a little shyly.

Li Xian leaned over and asked the following with his eyes.

"Among the world's top 500 companies, the United States occupies the first place, with 140 companies, Japan has 110, and Britain, France, and Germany have 56, 57, and 58 respectively. That's more than 420 people. Not to mention how much China has, through these data, I think that the strength of a country's economy is directly proportional to the number of multinational companies in its country. We always say that we want to be the best nation in the world, and I think the best nation is also more or less positively related to multinational companies.

Hearing this, Li Xian slapped his face.

"That's right!"

He felt that the idea hit his point.

He pushed the tea bowl that was almost overturned by himself to the side, nodded and said: "In fact, throughout the 300-year history of modern and modern times in the West, it is the history of wealth creation. ”

"Mr. Li is so right!" Chen Dongsheng said with great interest: "According to your thinking, the history of wealth creation is actually the history of enterprise innovation, and the soul of enterprise innovation is entrepreneurs. ”

"But you see, in the past, China only knew that there were great politicians, writers, and military strategists, but we didn't know that there were great entrepreneurs. The current environment, only with the addition of great entrepreneurs, is the sign of a complete and mature society.

From that time on, I wanted to do something. Later, a few of my classmates and I studied what to do, and I thought that after our Chinese civilization of 5,000 years old, there is no auction house like Sotheby and Christie's, and there is a blank in China in terms of auctions, so ......

Haha, I'm ashamed, I really don't know anything about antiques, if I say something wrong just now, Mr. Li must not be surprised. ”

Understanding the cause and effect, Li Xian shook his head with a smile. Only then did he turn to ask Chen Dongsheng's intention.

When I asked, I learned that this Jiade auction house had been operating since the beginning of last year, but now the reform of the economic system has just begun, and it is very sensitive under the banner of auctioning cultural relics, and the Cultural Relics Bureau does not give approval procedures. It took nine months for Chen Dongsheng to open Jiade.

And now it's June, three months after its establishment, and Jiade hasn't even held an auction.

When Chen Dongsheng resigned and went to sea, he relied on his previous connections to find more than a dozen shareholders and raised more than 20 million. Although he is not short of money now, he is anxious that he has not completed a single business for such a long time.

I really can't help it, thinking that the cultural relics are not allowed to be photographed, so let's shoot some modern artworks first, in short, anyway, open it first.

It's also a coincidence.

Two days ago, when he was on a business trip in Bingcheng, he happened to see Bangye's side of the reproduction of the lost black pottery, and he thought about using this as a breakthrough point to come and take a look.

Hearing this, Li Xian nodded deeply.

The big guy is just starting out, so you have to support it!

After a little pondering, he immediately had a plan in his mind.

Immediately, he asked Su Ma to cook, and then took Chen Dongsheng and his party to the association.

In the past two days, Xu Maohe has helped Li Xian hire some high-level students from the Bingcheng Academy of Fine Arts, although these people can't make pottery, but they play a great role in appearance design.

According to Li Xian's idea, he wants to divide black pottery into two types, one is inheritance. The ancient and simple style and craftsmanship of black pottery have been passed down and used as a cultural label to support the field. The other is revitalization, that is, to give commercial value to the ancient black pottery, and use it as an important supporting piece of Bangye's high-grade liquor. to enhance the cultural heritage and grade image of the brand.

Grasp with both hands and be hard with both hands.

In the past two days, under the condition that the association has received certain attention from the society, some results have been achieved. The designers of the Academy of Fine Arts and veteran craftsmen such as Yang Shuzhen have made several batches of finished products, both traditional and modern designs.

The finished product is displayed on the shelves of the association's opinion bungalow, although the environment is not good, but the things are really beautiful.

Especially after the design of the designers of the Academy of Fine Arts, the modern shape of the finch feather black pottery made is even more beautiful and makes people can't take their eyes off it.

As soon as Chen Dongsheng met people, he fell in love.

After coming out of the association, Chen Dongsheng invited Li Xian to prepare some pottery to participate in the auction.

I didn't expect Li Xian to be more direct, "Then what are you preparing?" Mr. Chen, since we know each other, even if we have a fate." Well, since you're in a hurry to hold an auction now, why don't you hold a special auction for me?"
