"Thank you for the compliment. Lin Feng smiled.

Although it sounds very comfortable, Lin Feng will not really think so stupidly, if nothing else, in Lin Feng's school, Jinling University, good English abounds.

After so many years of English education in China, there are many high schools that are bilingual schools, and English is not worth mentioning among China's famous universities.

"I'm sure you all know each other, so I won't introduce you to you, I'll take you up to see the painting first. Lin Feng looked at the two people in charge and said with a smile.

Celtic Charles brought four experts, because there were too many people, Lin Feng finally took down the painting, went downstairs to the living room, and put the painting on the table for the experts on both sides to carefully identify with tools.

Lin Feng and the two persons in charge sat on the sofa while waiting for the appraisal results, and after chatting casually, Lin Feng knew more about the art market in recent years from the mouths of the two of them, but first of all, he had to ignore the tone of the two of them.

In the middle, Lin Feng called the restaurant to bring food over, and he was originally going to eat together, but there were too many people, and both parties were reluctant to leave.

After about three hours, the results are not difficult to see from the amazed tones of the various experts.

"Both, I can only hand over this painting to one of you to operate, I can give you 1 hour to prepare, and then give the final conditions, I will choose. Lin Feng said to the two with a smile.

The two of them looked at Lin Feng's smile and secretly said in their hearts: This little fox.

But they all hurried to seize the time, and each found a place to call and start discussing with the head office.

Lin Feng was not idle, at this time he also called the law firm that cooperated with his company in the living room, asked the lawyer to come over, and helped him review it when he signed the contract for a while.

Lin Feng was not worried that they would use this time to collude to lower the price together, after all, this was a good opportunity to start their own auction house, and the two would not collude for this money.

One hour later, the three of them were sitting in the living room again, and Lin Feng said to the two with a smile: "Two gentlemen, which of you comes first?"

Neither of them spoke, and the first one to speak at this time was of course at a loss, because the other party could make temporary changes according to the conditions you reported.

However, Lin Feng had certainly expected such a scene, which was something he expected.

"In that case, I'll give each of you a piece of paper, and you can write your terms on it, just write the valuation, margin, and commission percentage, and then tell me how you're going to work. Lin Feng said with a smile.

Both of them are a little helpless, this young Chinese, is really shrewd and excessive.

I had no choice but to put away the idea of playing clever in my heart, and honestly wrote down the minimum conditions given to me by the headquarters on paper.

After the two of them finished writing, Lin Feng took the note and read it.

Sotheby's gave the following conditions: a valuation of $300 million, a margin of $200 million, and a commission of 5%.

Christie's gave the following conditions: a valuation of $300 million, a margin of $175 million, and a commission of 3%.

It can be seen that the experts of the two sides have communicated during the identification, after all, those cultural relics identification experts have to discuss when they are appraised. According to the current conditions, to be honest, Christie's conditions are more advantageous, after all, for Lin Feng, there is no difference between the current $75 million and not.

In fact, these conditions are only small interests, what the following two people said is what Lin Feng is most concerned about, how the two sides will operate, and the extra money that can be generated by the good or bad operation will not be offset by two percent of the commission.

"Then let's start with the two of you on the issue of operation separately, and since Mr. Carreda from Sotheby's came first in a few days, you can start first. Lin Feng said.

Hearing this, Celtic Charles glared back at his assistant, and Mickey's neck shrunk when he saw it.

"Okay, Mr. Lin. Everyone knows that Sotheby's is the most influential auction house in the world, we have offices in 40 countries around the world, we are the oldest and earliest auction house in the world, Sotheby's has the most experience, if Mr. Lin hands over this oil painting to us, we plan to hold an exhibition in our largest branch in the United States for three months, you will definitely get a satisfactory harvest. Kareda proudly introduced.

Lin Feng nodded when he heard this, but he didn't speak, but Celtic Charles, the head of Christie's on the side, was anxious.

However, he couldn't wait until Lin Feng opened his mouth to ask him to speak.

"Before I talk about our plans, I disagree with Carreda's in some ways, Sotheby's is the oldest auction house, but in the early days it was only used to auction books, and in terms of art auctions, we have the most knowledge and experience, and we are Christie's.

Christie's names represent the finest works of art in the world.

Regarding the operation, I don't think we need to have more action, we hold regular auctions at Christie's every year, and the most important auction of the year at the London headquarters is now in November, we are in preview between November 6th and November 10th, and the official auction is from November 12th to November 16th, and we at Christie's have a unique global online auction system, I believe that in our auction this auction will be much better than the auction alone, for this European oil painting, the Middle Easterners, Europeans and Russian oligarchs will be more generous than the miserly Americans, right? ？”

Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh when he heard what the person in charge of Christie's said, this old man didn't introduce first, but first refute others, and finally complained, I have to say that it is really sharp.

"OK, you convinced me, congratulations to Celtic Charles. Then he apologized to the person in charge of Sotheby's.

"It's okay, hopefully we'll have the opportunity to work together in the future. Although Carreda was disappointed, she still did not lose her grace, and it can only be said that Christie's was in time this time, and it happened to hit their annual auction, which is not a crime of war.

The Sotheby's men were sent out of the villa, and the contract was then appraised under the supervision of lawyers from both sides.

After Christie's experts confirmed the oil painting again, they carefully placed the painting in the safe before transferring it to Lin Feng, the payment method Lin Feng of course chose RMB, the RMB will continue to appreciate in the future, what is he doing with US dollars, for such a large amount, a little depreciation can make Lin Feng lose tens of millions.

After sending everyone away, Lin Feng excitedly looked at the account balance of 1237645400.00 yuan prompted by the bank text message on his mobile phone.

Lin Feng has never felt his wealth so directly, and this can be regarded as his official entry into the billion-yuan club.
