Chapter 23 The Profiteering Industry

This woman Tang Feng and Chen Yan have both seen it, it was she who bought the Ming Dynasty memorabilia from Tang Feng, and her impression of Tang Feng was quite poor. From a purely commercial point of view, it is understandable for Tang Feng to raise prices by relying on strange goods, but this will inevitably reduce his character value.

Of course, the woman remembered Tang Feng, and she said, "It turned out to be you." ”

Tang Feng nodded and said, "Well, isn't that me?"

"Yo, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet in Tianjin and meet in Beijing. Chen Yan's words are just a suffix - fate.

The woman smiled slightly, and said to Tang Feng sarcastically: "How much did you fall for this time?" Stealing once in one place is a first offense, and taking a shot to change places is a habitual offender.

Are you afraid that you won't be able to find your next home if you have good things? It's a big deal to change places, Tang Feng is now ******** in the eyes of money, he didn't pay attention to this woman who didn't like him, and asked the young man directly: "Can you take this business?" No, I'll change to another family. After speaking, he got up and was about to go out, and Chen Yan saw that he was leaving, so he also got up.

What is the meaning of "quality"? Those are three mouths, and only when you have eaten and drunk enough can you have the strength to talk about "quality," and Tang Feng is still far from reaching the height of talking about "quality."

The woman couldn't imagine that Tang Feng was so stingy, and he was about to leave if he said something that he didn't like, it seems that this person not only has no character, but also has not yet been measured. Hmph, there are more than one such business, no more and one less, and she has no intention of keeping them, will she close the door without them?

Seeing that the two sides were about to break up unhappily, another person came in outside the door, this person Tang Feng met in Jia Dewang's store last time, it was the middle-aged woman who took the "General Dictionary of National History" to auction, she said: "How can there be a reason not to accept business when you open the door to welcome customers, please sit down." Then she turned to the woman and said, "Satsuki, go and pour two cups of tea for these two gentlemen." ”

"Hmm. The woman called Satsuki nodded obediently and agreed.

Tang Feng can see it, you can say these two, you can't feel anything when you look at them separately, it is not difficult to see that they have many similarities when they get together, even if they are not mother and daughter, the blood relationship will not be too far.

Seeing that they hadn't sat down yet, the middle-aged woman hurriedly said politely: "Let's sit down first, and talk about business matters slowly." ”

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, people treated each other politely, Tang Feng was embarrassed to say something about changing to another family, he sat down with Chen Yan. The middle-aged woman whispered a few words to the young man and then walked to Tang Feng's side, she handed her business card with both hands, and said, "I'm really sorry, because our employees can't get it accurately, we have delayed your time." ”

Tang Feng took the business card and looked at it, this middle-aged woman is the general manager of Beijing Zhu Ji Auction House, named Zhu Biwei, he said with a smile: "It's okay, don't delay." "The peasants are simple in the end, the people are polite, and the Tang style is also polite.

Zhu Biwei said: "Trouble, take the things over and take a look." ”

Tang Feng handed her the wat board in his hand, she took the wat board in her hand and looked at it carefully and asked Tang Feng: "What judgment do you have?" There are many ways in the auction industry, they will not easily say their judgment, if they say that people do not entrust, wouldn't it be free to give people an appraisal. Of course, they prefer that the client does not know the goods, so it is best that they can take it down themselves and pick it up directly.

Tang Feng said: "It should be the ivory prop wat board of the Qing Dynasty Daoguangnian Sanqing class, since it is the Daoguangnian Sanqing class, it must be related to Cheng Changgeng." After Tang Feng finished speaking, the woman who couldn't get along with Tang Feng offered tea, and Chen Yan and Tang Feng didn't really care about her, and thanked her in unison.

"Sir, good eyesight. Seeing that Tang Feng's judgment was accurate, Zhu Biwei nodded and said: "There is definitely nothing wrong with the ivory prop wat board of the Sanqing class, but this is not direct evidence that Cheng Changgeng has used it, so the commission commission for this thing may be a little higher, because we still have to look for evidence that can prove that this is a celebrity relic." ”

Looking at Xiao Yue's smiling expression, Tang Feng understood that this time it was his turn to be ripped off, and he asked, "How much?"

Zhu Biwei said: "Fifteen percent. ”

"Huh?" Chen Yan said: "Ten percent commission is already outrageous, you actually want fifteen percent?"

Unknowingly unbeknownst to the layman, the auction industry is absolutely profitable, with not only the seller having to pay a commission of 10% of the final transaction price, but also the buyer having to pay a buyer's commission of 12% of the transaction price. This is not counting, if the auction fails, the auction house will also charge the consignor a commission of 3% of the reserve price of the auction. To put it bluntly, if the reserve price of a lot is set at 500,000 yuan, then the auction house will have at least 15,000 yuan. If the final transaction price is 1 million, the auction house will charge the seller 100,000 yuan commission and the buyer's 120,000 commission, adding up to 220,000 yuan. This is still the domestic commission ratio, the commission ratio of large foreign auction houses can reach up to 20 percent, the transaction price of the Guigu Xiashan Yuan blue and white jar is equivalent to more than 200 million yuan, plus the commission is 230 million, plus the commissioner's commission, the auction house alone This business income can almost reach 50 million yuan.

Zhu Biwei said with a smile: "Please rest assured, we will not make a random offer, you see if this is good, we can add another exemption clause in the entrustment contract, if you two can find direct evidence, we will calculate it according to ten percent." ”

Of course, Tang Feng doesn't want the auction house to make all the money, but he can't help it, the auction house has a set of mature operating methods, and they will put on all kinds of gimmicks to hype up in order to attract target customers to the door. So, although Tang Feng was reluctant, he nodded in agreement, and he said, "No problem." ”

After the two sides negotiated, Zhu Biwei began to draw up the contract, checked the contract, checked the identity, checked the physical object, etc., and after a busy time, the two parties signed respectively, and all the procedures were completed, Zhu Biwei stretched out her hand to Tang Feng and said: "Mr. Tang, happy cooperation." ”

"Happy cooperation!" Tang Feng stretched out his hand to shake her.

After signing the contract for consignment auction, the things were left in Zhu Ji Auction House, Tang Feng and Chen Yan returned to his Alto car, and after getting into the car, Chen Yan said to Tang Feng while starting the car: "Hey, buddy, that sharp fruit plate just now is really beautiful." ”

"Alas. Tang Feng patted Chen Yan's shoulder sympathetically and said, "It has nothing to do with you whether she is beautiful or not, go home and hug your wife and coax the child." "Chen Yan and his wife Tang Feng have seen it, a typical northern woman, healthy, normal, not a half-aged, and a mid-to-upper average.

The car started, and the two went all the way to Tongzhou, and in the car, Chen Yan said: "Her name is Liu Yue, the dawn wind and waning moon on the willow bank, poetic enough, right?" It seems that this is a rat who skimms the revolver and catches the cat's heart.

Tang Feng smiled and said, "Yo, you're aiming for it?" and even asked for your name. ”

"Hey, with her high look, I won't be bored. Chen Yan said: "I inquired with the front desk lady just now. ”

Tang Feng said: "The soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, you have to use the right method, but you also have to be careful of the fire in the backyard." The two of you and I spent time every word, and after more than half an hour, Alto arrived at the mouth of the alley of Chen Yan's house.

When they arrived at Chen's house, Chen Yan and his wife greeted Tang Feng warmly and said, "Yo, Tang Feng, please take a seat." Then she moved the chair and served tea, and was very busy, the more polite she was, the more hairy Tang Feng's heart became, and he hurriedly said politely. Tang Feng had met Chen Yan and his wife a few times, but she had never taken care of herself, and he was very unaccustomed to suddenly becoming so enthusiastic when they met today.

While Chen Yan went to the back room to get the rubbing, his wife said: "Brother Tang Feng, I have to thank you very much, thank you for the official seal that you helped our second son get back last time, the expert has seen it, it's true." ”

"Hehe, it should be ......" Tang Feng kept saying kind words in his mouth, but he was secretly sighing in his heart, this person is really tired of living.

"Tang Feng, it's this folded book, you can take a look. Chen Yan happily took out a sixteen-page folded book with an old blue cover from the back room and handed it to Tang Feng, Tang Feng took the folded book with both hands, the folded book looked like a book on the outside, but each page of it was connected.

Tang Feng was looking at it here, and Chen Yan introduced on the side: "This paper must be ancient paper, I took it and tested it, but the specific age is difficult to judge, and the seller said that it was from the Ming and Qing dynasties." ”

Tang Feng unfolded the first page of the folded book, and the first two rows read: The induction inscription of the Duobao Pagoda of the Qianfu Temple in Xijing of the Tang Dynasty, this folded book is the opening title of Yan Zhenqing's "Duobao Pagoda Induction Tablet" rather than the full text.

Tang Feng nodded after looking at it for a long time and said, "Brother Chen, it's lucky, although I can't be sure of the specific time, but this thing must be true, keep it well, it is definitely collectible." ”

When Chen Yan and his wife heard this, they said happily: "Tang Feng, you sit first, I'll go out to buy vegetables first." ”

Tang Feng nodded and said, "Hey, sister-in-law, you're busy." ”

Chen Yan and his wife turned back as soon as they went out, and she said to Chen Yan: "Second son, you must leave the Tang Feng brothers, you have to eat before leaving." ”

Chen Yan picked up a big leak, he was inevitably a little proud in his heart, and he spoke with confidence, he said impatiently: "It's up to you to say, I know, you hurry up." ”

As soon as his wife left, Chen Yan began to put on a score, and he said to Tang Feng unashamedly: "This unlucky daughter-in-law, if she dares to be disobedient, I will divorce her immediately!"

"I said, don't!" Tang Feng immediately drew a line with him, he didn't want to be chased by his wife - and he was holding a kitchen knife.

"You really believe it, I'm just casually saying that I can change my wife, but my children can't change my mother. Chen Yan finally said two words, but his pride was not over, and he soon began to boast again, he said: "I have no other advantages, just a good mentality, don't look at me just following you, I've been learning, I look at it at it, it's the Ming and Qing dynasties." ”

"Still in the Ming and Qing dynasties?" Since he said that he had a good mentality, Tang Feng was also blunt, he said: "This is the Qingming period!"
