Chapter 674: All scared away!
"Chinese people should be self-reliant!"
I don't know who said it, but the media people present nodded their heads in agreement, in this regard, the Chinese people really need to be tough, so as not to be so passive in the international auction market, and to have the qualifications and possibility to enter the international auction market, and become a participant, or even a leader, rather than a spectator, a crowd of onlookers.

"In the final analysis, you still have to speak with strength, as long as you have strength and resources, you will naturally attract the attention of those foreigners. A senior media person said.
"Yes, just like the royal gold coins that Boss Li, you Huaigu exhibited today, I think it has attracted a lot of foreigners to watch today. "I listened to them for a while, and they spoke very highly of the gold coins and said that if they could be auctioned on the European market, they would definitely fetch a good price." ”
"I also feel that there are obviously more foreigners in today's preview than usual, and I wonder when they are so interested in our antiques, it turns out that there are other plans, and those gold coins are really not very eye-catching in the preview, if it weren't for those foreigners, I really didn't pay much attention. ”
"Most of the people who came to the preview today are going to those custom-made antiques, who cares about a few foreign gold coins? Not to mention that there are not many people who collect foreign gold coins in China, and compared with those antiques on display, those foreign gold coins are really nothing, and only those foreigners will pay attention. ”
"Boss Li, it's still your cow, just put out a few gold coins, and quietly attracted the attention of so many foreigners, I thought that on the day of the auction, these foreigners will definitely come to compete for those royal gold coins, such a scene is rare in domestic auctions, and in our country, the auction of foreign antiques, this is to give our circle a long face. ”
In the antique industry, everyone is ashamed that their own antiques have been auctioned by foreign countries, and now it is the other way around, although it is not a priceless treasure, but it is also a breath of relief for everyone.
"Boss Li, as far as I know, these royal gold coins are very rare, and they are very valuable, if they are put into European auctions, especially the auctions of the countries where these royal gold coins belong, the value will definitely go to a higher level, so, Boss Li, forgive me for taking the liberty, can you tell me who entrusted these royal gold coins to your nostalgic art auction company? Presumably this person must have a good relationship with Boss Li," A senior reporter who often reports on the news of foreign auction markets looked at Li Dacheng, his eyes kept shining, as if he wanted to see something from the expression on Li Dacheng's face.
Hearing this person's words, the private room immediately fell silent, and the people present were all insiders, so they knew very well what this reporter meant, what the other party wanted to express was that the person who entrusted the royal gold coins to Huaigu for auction must not be for money, otherwise they should be taken abroad.
Could it be that he was fooled by Boss Li? It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be an ordinary person to be able to come up with such a rare foreign royal gold coin.
Li Dacheng, who had not spoken, put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and said lightly, "To be honest, these royal gold coins are my own private collection." ”
"What?"
Everyone's eyes widened, their faces were confused, and time seemed to stop at this moment, no one thought that those foreign royal gold coins turned out to be Boss Li himself, and the nostalgic boss took out his private collection for auction?
"Haha!" Just when everyone was surprised, Yu Kaidong smiled, "You only know that Boss Li is the owner of the nostalgic art auction company, but you don't know that he is also a collector, right? Let me tell you, the antiques collected by Boss Li are not only the best of the best, but also include antiques from all countries around the world." ”
"And that kind of thing?"
"Boss Li, you are hiding deep enough. ”
"Yes, when will you take out your private collection and show it to us, so that we can have long eyes. Everyone said, no wonder there are so many priceless antiques in the nostalgic auction, it turns out that Boss Li is a collector himself.
"Don't listen to the old nonsense, my collection is all gadgets, not enough to worry about, not enough to worry about. Li Dacheng modestly waved his hand again and again.
"Boss Li, since the gold coins are yours, can you tell me why you want to auction them? Don't tell us you're short of money. ”
"Boss Li, you don't deliberately take it out and want to do something, right?"
Li Dacheng smiled slightly at this time, looked at everyone and said, "You guessed right, I really want to be a little higher." ”
"What's the matter?" asked the man on the side.
"This was originally a secret of my company, and only a few people knew about it, but Lao Yu said, everyone is not an outsider, so I will tell you today. Li Dacheng sat upright, looked around, and then said with a serious face, "We are nostalgic to enter the international auction market, and these royal gold coins are deliberately arranged in the preview to attract the attention of foreign collectors." Originally, Li Dacheng was not in a hurry, but the Solomon incident made him decide to plan ahead and give the other party a strong response.
"Entering the international market?"
Everyone was amazed!
Although the domestic auction market is prosperous, but the international auction companies that can really get their hands on it can't even find a single one, and they are all relying on their own one-third of an acre of land to survive, not that everyone is not ambitious, in fact, who doesn't want to be the first person to go abroad and enter the world? Just to enter the international market, how easy is it to say, because of the particularity of the auction industry, so the international market has been controlled by so many auction houses, which has also led to many domestic auction houses in the shock, are all ended in failure.
To put it bluntly, it is impossible to get the treasure that can attract collectors from all over the world, when in China, there is no problem with relying on these antiques, but in the world, you must come up with a work of art that everyone recognizes, and the trick of eating the old book is not effective, and the price of many lots is not even as high as the price of the domestic auction, and after a long time, the company can not maintain, and gradually disappears in the international market.
It's been a long time since an auction house has announced its entry into the international market.
And today, right here, the owner of the nostalgic art auction company personally announced that he would enter the international market, which is definitely a blockbuster news in the circle, enough to shock the entire antique circle.
The headlines of the preview haven't had time to be published in the newspapers, and an even more explosive headline has exploded?
It's too exciting, isn't it?
"Li, Boss Li, you're not joking with us, are you?" asked someone after a long time.
If he remembers correctly, this Boss Li has only been in charge of the auction house for a year, and although Huaigu has made extraordinary achievements in this year, is it still a little early to enter the international market? Is it just a few royal gold coins? At least a few decent international works of art must be produced.
"Am I joking now?" asked Li Dacheng, "I didn't drink." ”
After the "......" was confirmed, everyone looked at each other, and finally they all fell silent.
Similar scenes, similar people, they have seen too much, at the beginning they were all arrogant, imagining the future incomparably beautiful, but the result, all of them were despondent, and no one was spared.
What's more, dominating the country does not mean being popular in the international market, and even more so, Huaigu is not the boss of the auction house, and has already begun to plan to enter the international market, is it too early? To put it mildly, is it a little self-righteous and carried away by the current prosperity? You must know that the international auction market is not a domestic auction market, and it is complicated.
"Why don't you speak, and I'm going to ask you for my advice. Li Dacheng said with a light smile, "Don't you think that we don't have this strength? Or are you not optimistic about our nostalgia? I told you such important inside information, you won't still treat me as an outsider, right?"
"Li, Boss Li, when are you going to officially enter the international market?" Yu Kaidong took a deep breath and calmed his heart, although he had long known the other party's goal, but he never thought it would be so fast, in his opinion, it should be a few years later, this step is not ordinary, not only easy to tear the crotch of his pants, but also easy to pull the egg.
"This year!" Li Dacheng said in an affirmative tone.
"Today, this year?" Yu Kaidong asked again in disbelief, along with his partner and ally, not to mention the other people here, who never closed their mouths from beginning to end.
"It's this year. Li Dacheng said, "In the future, we will increase the number of auctions every year, and at the same time refine the market, both for the domestic market and for the international market, and I will also go out and open the auction abroad." ”
Going to auction abroad?
"Boss Li, that, isn't it a little faster?" Yu Kaidong asked, winking at Li Dacheng, he knew that the other party was holding such a big thing in his heart, and he would not invite the other party to participate in tonight's tea party, and he didn't expect that the other party would say such an important thing in front of so many people, and really treat these people as a family?
"Quick? I think it's okay. Li Dacheng said with a smile, "If it weren't for the delay in building the Huaigu Building, maybe Huaigu would have held an auction abroad." ”
“……”
Everyone was speechless in their hearts, and what they said made people speechless, and they couldn't find an entry point for persuasion.
"Since Boss Li is confident, then we wish Boss Li smooth sailing and victory. An editor-in-chief said happily, "Come, let's meet Boss Li together." ”
When the people heard this, they did have to bless it, because they could not help anything else.
After drinking this cup, the party didn't last long before it ended, and they left the teahouse one by one, shaking their heads vigorously when they went out, and kept looking at a window upstairs and sighing.
Originally, they admired the owner of this nostalgic art auction company, and they felt that it was a miracle that they could develop Huaigu into the scale and popularity it is now in just one year. But what Boss Li said at the dinner table just now made their impression and evaluation of the other party drop sharply, and when they didn't understand, they thought they were a bold person, but now they understand it, and they think that the other party is simply high-eyed and self-righteous, because anyone who has a little brains will not casually say such a thing as entering the international market.
As media people engaged in this industry, they have seen many giants in the original industry, just because they want to enter the international market, not only failed to succeed in the end, but also lost the domestic market, resulting in a big loss of vitality.
In their opinion, Huaigu has become the next one, and directly sentenced Huaigu to death in their hearts.
"Dacheng, you're too impulsive. Everyone left, Yu Kaidong closed the door, turned back to Li Dacheng who was verifying, and said, "How can you say such a big thing as entering the international market?"
"Didn't you tell me that the dojo is all a family today?" Li Dacheng said while drinking tea, "Besides, they are all media people, tell them in advance, can they also help me build momentum?"
"If it's to promote the auction, they will definitely not be stingy with their own layout, and they will definitely leave the front page headlines to you, but there has never been a successful company in entering the international market before, do you think they will help you publicize? I dare to say that there are many more people waiting to see your good show than those who wish you well, especially your peers, you have been too high-profile this year. Yu Kaidong said that no one knows this industry better than him.
"Why, aren't you optimistic about me either?" Li Dacheng looked at Yu Kaidong and asked.
"It's not that I'm not optimistic, but Huaigu hasn't shown any strength to enter the international market. Yu Kaidong pulled a chair to the opposite side of Li Dacheng, and said with a serious face, "To enter the international market, first of all, there must be works of art that can be recognized by the international market, don't mention to me that the antiques you are nostalgic for today, they can be auctioned at a high price in China, which is not equal to being popular in the world, and I am talking about those who can make foreigners willing to pay for them to buy and collect, if they are patted and patted, and the ones who buy are our own people, it is equivalent to failure." ”
Li Dacheng smiled, "Old Yu, old Yu, do you think I don't understand what you said? With your understanding of me, if it weren't ten percent, do you think I would do it?"
Yu Kaidong was stunned for a moment, thinking about what the other party had done before, he really had never missed. "Do you still have any hole cards that haven't been revealed?" Yu Kaidong asked.
Li Dacheng took a leisurely sip of tea, smiled and said, "What do you think I did when I disappeared for half a year last year?"
"Didn't you travel to Europe?"
"Traveling is only one aspect, the main thing is to investigate the art and antique market there, and after half a year, it can be regarded as a fruitful harvest......"
"If you go abroad to pick up leaks, you can't rely on leaks to maintain the auction, how can there be so many leaks in the world?" Yu Kaidong said.
"It's more complicated than you think, anyway, you just see. Li Dacheng said confidently.
Seeing Li Dacheng's iron heart, Yu Kaidong couldn't help but sigh in his heart, since he got on the other party's thief ship, he had to spend the wind and rain together, and he couldn't abandon the ship and run away, so he looked at Li Dacheng bitterly and asked, "What can I do for you?"
"Publicity, a big report on the three royal gold coins that appeared at the fair, I have prepared all the materials. After finishing speaking, Li Dacheng's eyes turned cold, and then said, "In addition, help me let out the wind, just say that Solomon Auction House is too deceitful and lacks sincerity in cooperation, I am very angry, and the consequences are very serious." ”
