Chapter 237: And This Kind of Operation? (Thank you, envy, jealousy, hate, ten thousand rewards!)
Following.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
The temperature in Gwangju is much higher than in Jinghai.
Wang Chen, who was going to wear a down jacket in Jinghai, put on a thin coat here, and the inside was still short-sleeved.
Kingold Huiyue Terrace.
In the house, just finished breakfast.
Young Master Xu threw the toothpick into the trash can and sighed, "It's not bad to eat light." β
Wang Chenhan said: "It's shrimp dumplings again, fried rice noodles, rice rolls, and so on, and so on, is this still called light? β
Young Master Xu smiled and said, "You haven't heard of a kind of breakfast called Guangzhou people to show off their wealth." He paused, "Alright, let's get down to business, where's your passport?"
Wang Chen snorted, "What do you want a passport for?"
"Go to Thailand. Young Master Xu leaned back in his chair and stretched, "Our auction house is in Thailand, so we must send the collection over." β
Yes?
In Thailand?
Isn't it domestic?
Wang Chen was a little dizzy, blinked and said, "Why do you get it in Thailand, can't we do it in China?"
Young Master Xu pouted and said, "Do you think I don't want to be in China, there are always some people who think that the moon abroad is round." β
Well, it does.
For example, when Wang Chen was looking for a job in Gusu, there was a fruit shop at the entrance of the community where he lived, and once he used to buy apples to eat, and heard a woman in her thirties bragging, saying that she had lived in Vietnam for several years before, and the apples she ate were directly picked from the trees, and said that domestic apples were so spicy chicken.
There is no way, some Chinese people do have the idea of "foreign moon is round", and it is natural for Young Master Xu to choose to open an auction house in Thailand.
It's just that Wang Chen has never been abroad, "That...... I don't have a passport. β
This time it was Young Master Xu's turn to faint, and he looked at him with an unbelievable look, "Isn't it Xiao Wang, you are worth hundreds of billions, and you don't even have a passport, let alone never been abroad?"
Wang Chen said excitedly: "Abroad is not necessarily better than at home, why should I go abroad." "Well, buddy won't tell you that it was because I didn't have any money.
Young Master Xu had no choice but to say, "You bring your identity, I will entrust the relationship, and strive to help you get your passport in the morning." After that, he looked at Dai Wei, who was licking the plate cleanly, "Old Dai, do you have a passport?"
Dai Wei said cleanly: "Yes." β
"Well, give me my ID card too, and I'll help you book a ticket. β
Wang Chen and Dai Wei gave their ID cards to Young Master Xu.
Later, Young Master Xu went out to help Wang Chentuo get a passport in another place.
As for Wang Chen and Dai Wei, they didn't go out, and stayed in Young Master Xu's mansion to watch TV for a long time.
At about eleven o'clock, Young Master Xu called the two of them and asked them to go down, saying that they would go to Baiyun Airport.
Wang Chen and Dai Wei cleaned up a little and went down.
In the end, the group included three of Young Master Xu's bodyguards, and a group of six people boarded the plane to Thailand at 12 o'clock at Baiyun Airport.
After a three-hour flight, the destination was reached.
β¦β¦
Half past two p.m. Thai time.
Suvarnabhumi International Airport, also known as the New Bangkok International Airport, is located about 25 kilometers from Bangkok.
Because it was a landing visa, it was a little wasted of time.
Wang Chen remembered that Thailand is a country where guns are legal, and when he first arrived, his first reaction was not to appreciate the Thai style, but to get two guns to defend himself in ancient times, after all, life comes first.
He remembers reading the news that two men bought guns and bullets in Thailand, and then brought them into the country by plane and car, and finally were seized four guns, 19 gun parts, and more than 1,400 pistol bullets and sports gun rounds, and finally both were sentenced to heavy sentences, one life imprisonment and the other 10 years in prison.
Wang Chen felt that the IQ of these two people was very worrying, we are not allowed to hold guns in China, and they even bought guns and ammunition to get back to China?
It's different for yourself, buddy go back and get some guns and ammunition to go to the Song Dynasty, well, modern laws can't control ancient times.
After all, ancient times were so dangerous, and I don't feel at ease if I don't get some advanced weapons to defend myself.
After a forty-five minute drive to Bangkok.
The auction house purchased by Young Master Xu is not far from Siam Square.
The group came to their destination.
Auction houses.
Inside, the scale is quite large.
What is the general manager's office, the auction department, the jewelry department, etc., together a total of about 20 departments.
Wang Chen followed Young Master Xu around, although this is Thailand, but the vast majority of the staff inside are Chinese, only a few Thais, such as the forty-year-old deputy general manager Ba Song Chalunpong who followed them is an authentic Thai, and this person speaks Chinese very well, but also has a taste of Beijing films, it is estimated that he has lived in the capital.
Come to the auction department.
There was already a group of people waiting inside.
Among them, there are many experts that Wang Chen has seen in the treasure appreciation column of some TV stations.
There were probably seven or eight people, and the youngest were all thirty-five or sixteen years old.
Young Master Xu introduced Wang Chen one by one.
"Xiao Wang, this is Liu Yan, a well-known domestic expert in calligraphy, painting and bronze appraisal. ββA chubby man in his sixties with glasses, it is said that he once worked for the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and the Beijing Cultural Relics Appraisal Bureau, and he was also a frequent expert and consultant in a treasure appreciation column.
Wang Chen said hello, "Hello Liu." β
"Hello Xiao Wang. Liu Yan nodded.
"This is Yu Ming, a well-known jade expert in China. ββis also a chubby man in his sixties, who has served as a jade identification expert on CCTV treasure appreciation programs many times.
Wang Chen said hello again.
Yuming also took the initiative to reach out and shake it, looking very kind.
"This is ......"
Young Master Xu introduced eight people in a row, seven men and one woman, the female one was in her fifties, Wang Chen called her Aunt Xu, and she looked kind.
Except for two or three who are slightly less famous, the others are all well-known domestic experts, and they are all awesome anyway.
Wang Chen's impression of this group of experts is okay.
After the introduction, a group of people sat on the sofa and chatted.
Later, Young Master Xu took the equity transfer agreement to Wang Chen to sign, the content is very detailed, this auction company called "Tianyuxuan" with total assets of 12 million RMB, half of the shares are Wang Chen's.
After signing the agreement, Young Master Xu asked the deputy general manager, Ba Song Chalunpong, to handle the business related matters, and the few of them were to identify the things to be auctioned next.
Wang Chen sat and didn't talk much.
Young Master Xu leaned back on the sofa and said with a smile: "Xiao Wang, this time, you definitely can't think of it, this time, I got a Western Zhou bronz." β
Wang Chen was surprised and said: "Young Master Xu, every piece of Western Zhou Dynasty bronzes is a collection of heirlooms, and it is a national treasure, so you are willing to put it up for auction?"
"I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf. Young Master Xu snorted, and then explained: "Actually, this bronze is still borrowed by me, and it is impossible to really auction it, but it is just to take it out as a finale to attract people, and I will ask myself to auction it when I turn around, the purpose is to improve the reputation of our auction house." β
Oh.
I see.
Wang Chen didn't expect to be able to play like this, it seems that Young Master Xu is very attentive to the auction house, but this auction house also has half of his shares, Wang Chen thinks that he is not discussing with Young Master Xu, and also take out a good thing to auction, turn around and let the auction be auctioned, pay some taxes, at least make the auction house famous.
But what do you take out?
Eh, since Young Master Xu brought out a Western Zhou Dynasty bronze, why don't you have a bronze show, and I will take out the gluttonous cannibal as a disguise?
Wang Chen felt that he could give it a try, so he took the initiative to discuss it with Young Master Xu, "I also have a good thing here, but I'm not going to take it out for auction, Young Master Xu, hearing you say this, it seems that I can also take it out to save fame for our auction house, but I have to find a trust to buy it back, do you think it's okay?"
Young Master Xu's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, our main purpose is to make the auction house famous first, and tell me, what good things?"
Wang Chen smiled: "Like you, the bronze is just from the Shang Dynasty." β
"Xiao Wang, you are powerful enough, you can even get Shang Dynasty bronzes?" Young Master Xu praised, and then said: "But ah, this cultural relic is not the earlier the more valuable, like the Western Zhou Dynasty bronzes I borrowed this time, the value is similar to the Xijia plate auctioned in Hangzhou last year, and the general Shang Dynasty bronzes can't reach that price." β
The two were talking when someone interjected.
It was the famous expert Liu Yan, and he said with a moving face: "The Xijia plate was auctioned for 212.75 million, and the value of the cultural relics themselves far exceeds so much money, can the Western Zhou bronzes you brought this time be compared with them, is it the level of the white plate of Yu Jizi?"
Young Master Xu said a little proudly: "That's right. β
Liu Yan was itchy and said: "What the hell is it, take a look, show us." β
Several other experts, such as Yu Ming and others, all spoke up.
"Young Master Xu, don't sell Guanzi. β
"Yes, this kind of precious bronze is rare, take it out. β
"We listened to it. β
Seeing everyone's expectant eyes, Young Master Xu showed a satisfied expression, and he laughed and said, "Okay, don't worry, I'll call someone to send it over." Then he lifted the landline on the coffee table, and half-jokingly said to Wang Chen with a little bit of sincerity while dialing the number, "Xiao Wang, what kind of bronze do you bring, can you compare it with my lotus crane and green son?"
If he said anything else, Wang Chen estimated that it was really incomparable, but he was ready to take out the gluttonous cannibalism, and he simply smiled at Young Master Xu's question.
Joke.
How much is a Tiger Cannibal worth?
That's a peerless treasure that money can't buy!
Although the manufacturing time of the things brought back from the Song Dynasty will not change, and generally things will not become cultural relics, Wang Chen's gluttonous cannibal is a bronze ware from the late Shang Dynasty, which is more than 2,000 years old from the Song Dynasty, and how different is it from more than 3,000 years to this day?
Wang Chen still doesn't believe that someone can thoroughly identify how many years of history of his bronzes, the identification of bronzes is generally from the material, sound, ornamentation, inscription, shape and casting and other aspects, he has this gluttonous cannibal in his hand is sure to be genuine, of course, he is not afraid of identification.
As for why Young Master Xu is so serious.
Wang Chen probably knew what was going on, and he was just telling himself that although this auction house had half of Wang Chen's shares, the right to speak was still in the mouth of Young Master Xu.
Young Master Xu's meaning is obvious, he is telling Wang Chen that he is not unable to get good things, but he does not have the time and energy to get them, if he has the time and energy, he can get things that are better than Wang Chen, I don't know how many times.
It's a pity that Young Master Xu doesn't know how good the things Wang Chen can get.
Wang Chen smiled, I'm afraid, Young Master Xu is going to be shocked this time, no, it should be said that everyone present will be shocked, myself, what I brought this time is really shocking!
