Chapter 649: Bet!
"Hey, did you hear that? The MassMutual auction house was stolen. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"What, theft? Really? What's lost? Did you find it? ”
"Of course it's true, can I lie to you about this kind of thing? I heard that it was a gold ingot from the Southern Song Dynasty, by the way, it seems to be the one found at the bottom of the box a few days ago, Wantong Auction House didn't know what it promised to people, got the auction right of the gold ingot, and the agreement has been signed, but the thing was lost in the vault of Wantong, you say bad luck is not unlucky, shame is not ashamed? ”
"Unlucky, it's unlucky enough, but to have the opportunity to enter the vault of Vantone, and only stole one, so targeted, obviously it was done by insiders, did someone catch it?"
"Hey, it would be nice if you caught it, the problem is that the person didn't catch it, and the baby didn't find it, you said that such a big auction house, how could this happen? This is also too careless, it seems that you will have to be careful when entrusting antiques to Vantone in the future. ”
"Be careful of what? Don't you just look for Wantong? ”
The news of the theft of antiques from Vantone Auction House was like a cold wind outside, which quickly blew through the entire antique circle and auction circle, and became a hot topic after dinner.
The reason why it has received so much attention, in addition to the matter itself, is that there have been many similar thefts recently, and they are all in major auction houses, although many auction houses do not admit it, but don't forget the sentence: good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles. Bad things tend to attract more attention than good things.
In addition, they have one thing in common, that is, the antiques were lost in the same situation, they were all lost without being seen by the security guards, not photographed by the surveillance, and even the police found a little clue.
Some people think that it is a gang that commits the crime, but what kind of gang can reach out to the major auction houses? Some people say it's a coincidence, but it's impossible that all thefts go unnoticed, right? Some people say that the auction house guards the theft, and when someone is willing to pay a high price to buy, the auction house will sell the treasure, and finally take out a part of the money obtained and give it to the consignor as compensation, so as to earn the difference. In short, there is everything to say.
In this process, the credibility of the auction house is inevitably greatly challenged, even if the compensation is made according to the figures specified in the agreement, there are still people who doubt what role the auction company plays in this matter, because the loss of antiques in the auction house not only damages the interests of the consignor, but also affects the principle of fair competition in this industry, which is unfair to both the buyer and the buyer.
The most important thing in the auction industry is credibility, when the credibility of an auction house is questioned, it is the end of the auction house, and if the credibility of all auction houses is questioned, then someone must stand up, otherwise it is the end of the industry.
Heroes are born in troubled times, but no one knows when the hero will be born, but everyone hopes that this person will appear as soon as possible, even if it is a competitor, it doesn't matter, compared to the crisis faced now, the previous grievances with each other are nothing.
Qi Mengyao sat in the office, rubbing her temples with her hands, she was too optimistic about the auction, and this optimism also caused her to feel caught off guard and have a splitting headache when the crisis suddenly came.
The plan has not changed quickly, and the current auction circle can be said to be full of rumors, grass and trees, and saliva will drown the entire auction industry in the tide of credibility, even nostalgia is not immune.
It turns out that every day someone will take the initiative to entrust the antiques to Huaigu for auction, but now, there is no shortage of people who consult, but there are very few people who are really willing to entrust the antiques to them, and they don't see one a day, even the six elites she brought from Yuncui are not working, the old relationship is prevaricated for various reasons, and the new relationship is difficult to establish in a short period of time, although Li Dacheng did not set a target for her, but she always felt that if she continued like this, she would make her face ugly.
What to do?
You can't just sit back and wait here, can you?
Qi Mengyao came to the window, looked outside, the sky was getting dark, and a total of more than 30 people in various antique departments had already dispersed, I don't know if there would be a harvest today, but she didn't have much hope, and there was no way to even bring the people she brought, not to mention the people who had been recruited recently, it was estimated that they would get back a big duck egg.
"Dangdangdang......"
The knock on the door came from outside, interrupting Qi Mengyao's worries, she sorted out her emotions, covered up her inner irritability with calmness, and shouted outside to come in, in front of her subordinates, she never showed the worries in her heart.
I thought it was my subordinates who had been out all day and came back to report to her, but when she saw the person who opened the door and came in, her mood suddenly sank, it was Li Dacheng, the person she didn't want to see now.
No one wants to see their rivals when they are frustrated, and she is no exception, let alone a kidnapper who 'kidnapped' her to be the lady of the village?
"The chairman is here, I don't know what instructions there are?" Qi Mengyao asked lightly, her eyes continued to look out the window, although she was born in the capital and grew up in the capital, she had never felt that the capital was so beautiful as it is now, and she was reluctant to look away.
"Is that your attitude towards me as a boss?" Li Dacheng asked like this, but he didn't care in his heart, which can be seen from the smile on his face, this woman has been with a straight face since she came to Huaigu, and she has never smiled.
"Do you still need me to organize people to line up to welcome me? Do you need to play music, roll out the red carpet, and offer red flowers? Qi Mengyao asked.
"Don't bother, such a big formation, I have to reimburse the cost myself." Li Dacheng sat down, looked at Qi Mengyao and said, "The company's recent situation is very poor, and the business volume is constantly declining. ”
Qi Mengyao's face stiffened, and she knew that the other party came to her for nothing good, "Affected by the theft of antiques from many auction houses, people have been very cautious about auction houses in recent times, which is also the main reason for the decline in business volume. ”
"According to you, don't all the auction houses have to drink the northwest wind?" Li Dacheng said with a frown.
"This incident has really had a very bad impact, and it has made the already difficult auction industry even worse, and it may take a long time to go back to the past, so that people can forget about it, and I heard that there are already auction houses that give their employees long vacations, three or four months of long vacations, to reduce unnecessary expenses." Qi Mengyao told her what the employee told her.
In the middle of May, the nostalgic record auction made everyone think that the spring of the auction industry was coming, but who would have thought that it was only half a year, and the entire industry experienced a roller coaster trough, many old drivers overturned at this time, closed the door, changed careers, spring just began, and some people didn't even have time to experience it, and it went straight to the cold winter.
Qi Mengyao couldn't help but look at Li Dacheng in the image reflected by the glass, and suddenly had a feeling in her heart that she was both successful and defeated, the prosperity was brought by this man, and the appearance of decline was also responsible for this man.
"What do you mean to shut down my company just a few days ago?" Li Dacheng asked, it was closed for just a month after opening, and it is estimated that it will create a record for the fastest closure in the auction industry. He won't have to mix in this circle in the future?
"I didn't say that, I'm just objectively describing the current auction industry to let you know that the decline in the company's performance is not caused by me." Qi Mengyao said, thought about it and added, "It's useless for anyone to come." ”
"This reason for shirking responsibility is good, I will give you ninety-nine points, and one less point is afraid that you will be proud." Li Dacheng said with a smile. Difficulties as a reason? For him, difficulties were never a reason.
Qi Mengyao knew that Li Dacheng was squeezing herself, but she had already fallen into the pit, but she didn't want to jump into another pit, she knew that now was not the time to be reckless, and her current situation was not the price to pay for recklessness? However, Li Dacheng's cheap appearance really made her a little unbearable, as if she had a problem with her personal ability.
"Don't look at me like that, you can do it." Qi Mengyao couldn't help but say, it's really not a big deal to see the excitement.
"I'm coming? Don't use it, right? Li Dacheng looked at Qi Mengyao with a smile and said, "If I make a move, won't it seem that you are too incompetent?" ”
Qi Mengyao's apricot eyes immediately widened, and he said with a sneer, "If the wind is strong, I'm not afraid of flashing my tongue, who wouldn't just sit here and brag?" Do you have the ability to do it really? ”
Impotent? To say that she is incompetent? In this circle, no one has ever said that she is incompetent, and she can often hear things like women not letting her eyebrows go.
"Such words, which come out of the mouths of you mortals, are bragging, but when they come out of my mouth, they are the truth." Li Dacheng said lightly.
"Then you're going to make a move? You are the boss of the company, the company is yours, you don't want to see your company decline day by day, right? ”
"I'm afraid of hurting your self-confidence, and I don't want your subordinates to see your incompetence."
"I think you, as the chairman, should let your subordinates, including me, see your awesome side, otherwise wouldn't it seem that you, the boss, are too ineffective?"
"The problem is that I have fully entrusted you with the business of antiques, and the antiques I am responsible for are doing well, and I have not received any influence from the outside world, and I also think that as the chairman of the company, if you do everything by yourself, if I do everything, then what are you going to eat?"
"You don't have to do it all, just do it this time, it can be regarded as a model for us employees, after all, the company has just been established, it should be regarded as establishing prestige, otherwise the employees have a lot of opinions on you, the chairman who can't see each other all day."
"What employees, I think it's you, right?" Li Dacheng said with a smile, it has not been a day or two that this woman has had an opinion on him, and now she has finally found a chance to take revenge.
"Then do you want me to be convinced of you?" Qi Mengyao was-for-tat, and she no longer had to worry about the other party smashing the field, which also made her dare to face this man head-on.
"Didn't you have been picked by me a long time ago and made me a prisoner?" Li Dacheng asked, "When you went to smash the field, you begged me many times. ”
"I was forced to be helpless, so I could only pretend to succumb to your obscenity." Qi Mengyao said seriously.
"I didn't expect you to be a two-faced person."
"Then do you want to convince me?"
"The question is, what good will it do me to convince you?"
"There are so many benefits, at least I can serve you wholeheartedly."
"What you say is equivalent to a mouth cannon, are you wholeheartedly, how do I know? Something substantial, understand? Able to see. ”
"And what do you want?" Qi Mengyao saw that there seemed to be a door, so she asked in turn, this time I have to let the other party also be planted in the pit.
"Well, how about you being my lover?" Li Dacheng opened his mouth and said that it seemed that he had been planning for a long time.
"Don't think about it, I don't sell my body!" Qi Mengyao blushed and refused, knowing that this despicable and shameless bastard was not at ease, and he had bad water in his stomach.
"But you're not artistic?"
"I ......" Qi Mengyao's face turned red again, but this time she was angry, after a while, she thought about it, gritted her teeth and said, "Then I will stay in Huaigu to work until it closes down." ”
"Bah, how much do you wish that nostalgia would close the door? Don't forget, you're now a member of the nostalgic too. Li Dacheng said this, but he was really a little moved, although the other party is here, his heart has always been in Yuncui, so it is also a good thing for him to let the other party's heart stay here and dispel the idea of returning to Yuncui.
"I don't want an annual salary, as long as the performance is rewarded, this will always work, right?" Qi Mengyao took another step back.
"Okay!" When Li Dacheng heard this, he immediately agreed, how much to do and how much money to get, this is simply a business without capital for him, and he will make sure that he will not lose money.
"But ......," Qi Mengyao said, "If it turns out that you are just bragging, then you have to let me go back to Yuncui!" That's what she's really for.
"No problem!" Li Dacheng said, go back, go back, it's a big deal to force the other party to come, Li Dacheng was afraid that Qi Mengyao would regret it, so he stood up and stretched out his hand, "The gentleman ...... a word"
Qi Mengyao didn't expect Li Dacheng to agree so happily, and even felt a little unrealistic, she looked at Li Dacheng's chief, walked over from the window, raised her hand and high-fived Li Dacheng, "It's hard to chase a horse!" She wants to see what the other party has the ability to bring the current situation back to life.
"Hey, hey!" Li Dacheng's face showed a wicked smile, and he said to Qi Mengyao, "Then I'll make a move, you are ready to stay here forever!" ”
"I'm ready to pack back to my company."
"I'm not going to give you this chance."
