Chapter 115: It's Open!
A few days later, Lin Hai rented the shop, registered his name, and as soon as the firecrackers went off, Hengtong Auction House was opened.
Although all the money spent was lottery prizes, Lin Hai was still nervous in his heart.
Others are all open in the market, but he has a lot of doors here, and occasionally a neighbor passing by will congratulate him, but he also has the mentality of watching jokes, let alone having business to come to the door.
Until the afternoon, Lin Hai was really a little breathless.
"I'll go out for a walk!" Lin Hai frowned, as if a big stone had been pressed on his chest.
He is a good-looking person, and he doesn't care if he loses money, but if he lets the neighbors see the joke, he won't have the face to go out in the future.
Coincidentally, as soon as Lin Hai walked outside the door, he bumped into a group of 'sworn enemies'.
Among them is Yi Zhuyi's father, Yi Zhongjun!
Lin Hai turned his head and walked in the other direction.
Yi Zhongjun raised his voice and shouted: "Lao Lin, don't go, on the first day of the opening of your auction house, my brothers came to congratulate you, I wish you fortune and treasure, prosperous business, rising and prosperous, and everything prosperous!"
Lao Lin Chongyi pouted and said, "The weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, and he didn't have a good heart!"
"Lao Lin, this is your fault, let's congratulate you, why are you still scolding people as weasels!" Yi Zhongjun glanced at the auction house, and suddenly said: "I understand, Lao Lin, you are a little depressed and irritable because of the cold business, right?"
Lin Hai snorted coldly, he knew that Yi Zhongjun, the old boy, was here to see the joke, he was too lazy to deal with Yi Zhongjun, so he turned his face and left.
But Yi Zhongjun caught up and continued: "Lao Lin, I didn't say you, how old are you, you still want to achieve it overnight, you have to calm down, everything is difficult at the beginning!"
"It's a big deal, just like when you were young, lose all your money and start all over again, haha!"
Lin Hai blew his nose and glared.
Yes, when he was young, he worked in the same state-owned steel mill as Yi Zhongjun, and in that era, he could be regarded as having an iron rice bowl.
But later, there was a boom in going to the sea to do business, especially when a few relatives made a lot of money, so he was also moved and resolutely resigned from his job in the steel mill to go south.
I don't blame Lin Hai for not having business acumen, I only blame him for being a real person.
All ten people who are engaged in business and nine frauds, he is a real person can imagine, and in the end, he lost all his money. Not only did he lose money, but he also lost his iron rice bowl.
"Yi Zhongjun, are you itchy again, are you beaten up?!" Lin Hai glared.
For so many years, Yi Zhongjun, an old boy, is angry with him about this, sometimes he really wants to sew Yi Zhongjun's mouth up, so that he can save himself from being idle all day, just like a girl.
"I'm kind enough to congratulate you, why are you still so angry that you want to beat someone? Come, you can try it!" As soon as Yi Zhongjun put his face on it, his ears were twisted, and he grinned in pain, shouting: "Oh! You really twisted my ears, why are they like my family's mouth, this hurts!"
"Yi Zhongjun, you're full, aren't you?!"
When Yi Zhongjun heard that the voice was wrong, he opened his eyes and saw that it was his family who twisted his ears?
"Get out of here for me!" Zhu Fenfang pulled her husband's ears and dragged them home.
"Wife, so many people are watching, can you save me some face?" Yi Zhongjun complained bitterly.
"People do business, you come to a sentence of blood and no return, your mouth is so damaged?!" Zhu Fenfang just doesn't let go.
"Hmph, don't think I don't know, you fell in love with Lin Hai when you were young, and you are still protecting him now, do you still want to live this day?!" Yi Zhongjun shouted sourly.
"Yo! Yi Zhongjun, are you standing up? It just so happens that I have had enough of these days, and I will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to divorce tomorrow!" Zhu Fenfang spat on her husband's face.
"Don't, wife, I'm joking with you, let's go home and say anything, when you get home, you can beat or scold, you can't really divorce!" Yi Zhongjun slapped his mouth, and even he felt that his mouth was stinky.
Zhu Fenfang is notoriously spicy, and Yi Zhongjun is notoriously afraid of his wife, so everyone has long been surprised.
Lin Hai laughed and his stomach hurt, but Zhu Fenfang breathed a bad breath for him.
However, after Lin Hai finished laughing, he immediately returned to the auction house, he saw that Ye Wu was like a person who had nothing to do, and he was not in a hurry if he had no business, so he finally pulled down his face and said: "Child, I always feel that the auction house is unreliable, so I haven't invested more money yet, or forget it, and save more and more money." ”
"You see, if we remove the sign and then transfer the store, it is equivalent to not losing money, at most we have been working blindly for a few days. ”
How did I think that Ye Wu said lazily: "It will be closed on the first day of opening, I don't know about others, anyway, I know that Lao Yi will definitely be happy!"
When Lin Hai heard this, it was like swallowing a big steamed bun in one gulp, and he choked in a panic.
Lin Hai thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, in order not to let Lao Yi see the joke, I will insist on it for a month, but I declare in advance that it will be a month at most, and there will still be no business at the door, and it will have to be closed no matter what!"
Ye Wu couldn't help laughing, this Lao Lin really wanted to save face, and he just knew Lao Lin's point, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to catch Lao Lin's weakness, maybe Lao Lin would close the auction house today.
By ten o'clock in the evening, the snack bar next door was ready to close.
Lin Hai felt that it was impossible for any more business to come to his door, so he called his part-time secretary, accountant, and miscellaneous chores, which was actually his wife Xu Yazhi, who was also about to close.
Suddenly, a car stopped outside the store, and first two young men got out of the car, and then moved down three wooden boxes.
Immediately afterwards, another middle-aged man with extraordinary aura and exquisite clothes came down.
In the end, the group of three went straight to Hengtong Auction House.
As soon as Lin Hai saw someone coming, he immediately came to the spirit, regardless of whether he was a guest or not, whether the business could be a CD or not, and he had to be warmly entertained.
"How many are they?" Lin Hai asked.
The middle-aged man took off his black felt hat, also smiled, and said, "May I ask who is the person in charge of Hengtong Auction House?"
"I am!" Lin Haine nodded, and hurriedly handed the business card that had just been printed yesterday to the party.
After the middle-aged man saw the business card, he put the business card into the inner pocket of the windbreaker and said, "It turns out that this is Boss Lin, disrespectful, disrespectful!"
"No disrespect, no disrespect at all, how many are you?"
"My surname is Bai, my name is Yiheng!" Bai Yiheng stretched out his hand.
"Hello, Mr. Bai, please take a seat!" Lin Hai also hurriedly stretched out his hand.
Bai Yiheng motioned to the two young men behind him to open the wooden box.
The moment the wooden box was opened, Lin Hai was directly dumbfounded.
Although Lin Hai is an amateur antique enthusiast, he can see at a glance that the three items contained in the wooden box brought by the other party are extraordinary!
"My boss wants to auction off these three antiques, and there's Boss Laurin!" Bai Yiheng said.
Lin Hai couldn't believe his eyes and ears, happiness came so suddenly, he had been disheartened all day, and when it was time to close at night, he would come to business!
Regardless of the price these three can sell for the time being, at least it is a good start.
"Ahem!" Lin Hai cleared his throat, immediately calmed himself down, and said, "Mr. Bai, I need to identify first, and after making sure that the three pieces you brought are genuine, we can cooperate!"
As soon as Lin Hai finished speaking, Bai Yiheng asked the young man behind him to take out three appraisal certificates.
When Lin Hai took it in his hand and looked at it, he was suddenly dumbfounded, and even his hands began to tremble.
"Wang Chongzhi, I know him, he's a top treasure connoisseur!"
Lin Hai felt that he still needed to be calm, and he must not believe the other party just by name, what if the appraisal was forged?
What Lin Hai never expected was that Bai Yiheng actually got up to leave.
"Boss Lin, of course you have to find someone to identify it yourself, what about the things, just put them here first, and when Boss Lin finishes appraising, let's sign the contract!"
Lin Hai hurriedly caught up and said, "Mr. Bai, are you a little too anxious, you haven't signed the contract yet, you just put things here for me, aren't you worried that I will fill my pockets?"
"If I have concerns about this, I won't look for a newly opened and small auction house, I believe in Boss Lin's character, and say goodbye!" Bai Yiheng bowed halfway, then got in the car and left.
Lin Hai was not at ease, he would not fill his pockets.
But what if these three items are genuine, and the auction house doesn't even have a security guard, or even a safe, and someone steals them?
So, Lin Hai asked his wife to go home alone, and he didn't close his eyes all night and kept watch all night.
It wasn't until dawn that Lin Hai breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Hai was sleepy and yawning, tired and exhausted, and was about to call Ye Wu and ask Ye Wu to take over.
Suddenly, Lin Hai heard that there was a lot of excitement outside for some reason.
Lin Hai opened the door and suddenly turned into a sculpture.
What's going on?
Why are there so many people outside who are bustling like rushing to a big set, and they all focus on him alone?!
There are also a lot of people carrying cameras, and the cameras are all pointed at him alone?!
"Are you a staff member of Hengtong Auction House?"
"I heard that this weekend, Hengtong Bank is going to auction a treasure, by the way, it is a silver flower double gun twelve-ring tin staff, is this true?"
"It is said that Wang Chongzhi, the country's top treasure connoisseur, has personally been firm, is this also true?"
"I'm a reporter from Dongzhou City News Channel......"
"I'm a reporter for the provincial TV station......"
"I'm a reporter from Huajiang Daily......"
