Chapter 164: Hush Money
Here, in the quiet courtyard of the Zen Town Inn, Wang Yi received a call from a man who claimed to be Chairman Xiao of Fulong Auction House: "May I ask if it's Mr. Wang Yi?"
When asked Wang Yi to speak easily now and there were no outsiders around him, Xiao Dong was ashamed to tell him in his mobile phone that because a customer who auctioned the ruby could not provide enough liquidity to pay the auction price, and was preparing a few collections to mortgage, the auction house needed a period of time to appraise the price.
If the estimate of the collection provided by this person is not enough for the payment, considering that this amount is indeed large, Fulong Auction House hopes to give this person a longer time to continue to raise funds, so he asked Wang Yi if he is willing to wait.
Wang Yi secretly thought that I am not short of money now, but I can't let you be my fool: "I can wait, but how long will I have to wait? a year? Or a few years? This is hundreds of millions of dollars, to put it mildly, if I use this money to invest in the stock market and the housing market, I will soon be able to make huge profits, Xiao Dong, you are also a businessman, you should understand this, right?"
"You can rest assured of this. Director Xiao immediately said on his mobile phone: "The maximum payment period after the auction of our company is one week. This time, because he's using the collection to offset the price, we still need a week to raise funds. Therefore, after two weeks, if his collection does not raise enough money, the auction will be invalidated and we will no longer charge you the auction fee. ”
Wang Yi smiled faintly and said into the mobile phone: "Xiao Dong, is this just the case? You probably don't know, I studied accounting, I am particularly sensitive to numbers, and I also pay more attention to my own rights and interests." ”
"If it is contractual, I should have received the relevant payment within the payment deadline stipulated by your company. If the money is relatively small, a few thousand yuan, it will be enough, but now it is hundreds of millions. Hundreds of millions of funds, in a week, if you buy financial products, how much interest will be generated, I believe you know better than me. ”
The originally apologetic voice on the mobile phone suddenly changed: "Then Mr. Wang, don't forget, we paid you 50 million yuan in advance before, which is nearly 20 days in advance! If you want to calculate interest with us, then does our company also calculate this interest?"
Wang Yi raised his eyebrows, and immediately said unceremoniously: "Mr. Xiao, this is different. I took a precious ruby and put it in your company for auction, which is mortgaged. The money I took was prepaid in advance and should belong to me. Is it your company that did not arrange the gemstone auction in time and wanted to maximize the profits, and made a decision, which can be counted as interest?"
"As for now, first of all, whether the auctioneer has the ability to pay the bidding fee should fall within the scope of your auction house's hedging and confirmation. Therefore, the guests can't pay, of course, there are guests who are not, but there are also mistakes on the part of your employees. Now that the auction is over, but the money cannot be delivered, to put it mildly, the news has spread, how many customers will be willing to auction with you in the future? ”
"And because of the mistakes of your company's employees, I have to wait a few more days to receive my fair share, is this considered a capital occupation? ”
Moreover, this amount cannot be calculated according to the bank's current interest rate. Because I'm definitely not going to put it all in the bank and eat it all in the bank, but to invest it. Even if there is currently the least online baby, the seven-day annualized income is 3%, then I have more than 3,000 interest a day, which can be offset by the rent of a one-bedroom and one-living room under my name for two months. ”
Speaking of this in one breath, Wang Yi said proudly: "For Dong Lao's sake, the interest of 3,000 yuan a day will be calculated from the eighth day after the auction, when will the money be paid and when will not be interested." This should be my hush money!"
"Of course, you can also choose to reduce the fee to 3.5 percent. Choose one of the two!"
The amount of more than 200 million yuan auctioned, after deducting taxes and handling fees, is only more than 180 million, to say that Wang Yi is not painful, it is absolutely a lie.
Why is the auction house willing to give this auctioneer an extra week to mortgage the collection, I am afraid that it is reluctant to pay the four percent handling fee. That's at least more than 8 million yuan!
Since you are reluctant to pay this money, and you deliberately delay taking the initiative to send a text message notification, then it is normal for me to collect hush money at 3,000 yuan a day!
The more hush money I pay, the faster you will get things done!
"Mr. Wang, I'm afraid this won't work. Even if the customer's payment arrives, and you have such a large payment, our payment will have to go through the process, and you will need to give me at least a week. Xiao Dong in the mobile phone was a little dissatisfied.
Wang Yi smiled: "Xiao Dong, your payment process is nothing more than layers of signatures, and the last step is remittance." As long as the remittance is not remitted, this business cannot be put into the financial account and can be cancelled at any time. I'm sure your employees won't be so stupid as to have to stare at the bank and wait until the funds are available before applying for payment for various expenses, right?"
"The payment process can go first, when the bank has the money, when the cashier arranges the payment. ”
"Xiao Dong, if you have the sincerity to continue to do business with me, just choose one of the two conditions just now!"
Although Wang Yi is not from a wealthy family, he also knows that rich people generally care more about the use of large amounts of money, and will not rely on it to lie in the bank and become moldy.
Generally speaking, as long as the bidder pays quickly, the auction house does not dare to hold the payment in his hand for too long, and can transfer it to these consignees with identity and face in time.
Otherwise, people will change the auction house every minute next time, and they will express their dissatisfaction with the auction house in the corresponding circle of friends in the future.
After dozens of seconds of silence on the mobile phone, Xiao Dong's sighing voice came: "Okay, since Mr. Wang said so, then from today's auction ends, and in the next eight days, our Fulong Auction House will pay you a hush money of 3,000 yuan a day, and pay an extra 3,000 yuan for each additional day." I also hope that you will not make a noise about this matter for the time being, and if you have other precious collections in the future, you will also give priority to our Fulong. ”
"Xiao Dong is really happy!Okay, that's it, a word is a certainty!" Wang Yi smiled, hung up the phone, and then looked at Fan Yanqi on the side: "It was Xiao Dong from Fulong Auction House who called just now." You're a good assistant Fan, and you're doing things very quickly! Help me thank him!"
Fan Yanqi smiled slightly: "It shouldn't just be Assistant Fan's credit, right? Who is the one who called you to congratulate you just now?" He must have asked. ”
That's smart!
Wang Yi smiled: "Anyway, I am very grateful to both of you." But now, since the other party has agreed to my conditions, I can't say the specific inside story. ”
Of course, with Fan Yanqi's cleverness, she can definitely guess it, but she has always been tight-lipped, and he is not afraid.
Fan Yanqi nodded clearly, and then looked in the direction of the reception room: "I don't know if Shaolin Temple can accept your conditions." ”
Wang Yi was about to speak, but Song Raotai suddenly came over with an anxious face: "Xiao Yi, your phone always can't get through, I'll come to you." Your sister-in-law's brother is in trouble in the magic capital, I may not be able to accompany you to Wuzhen and the Big Buddha tomorrow, I have to rush to the magic capital first. ”
