Chapter 629: Art Broker

PS: Today's state is very bad, it should be a bottleneck, I don't know if there is a second chapter, sad.

"Amitabha, if it's just a simple merger, the poor monks won't care very much."

At this time, the monk of Mid-Levels said slowly: "After all, the temple is just a place to stay, and it doesn't matter who it belongs to, as long as it can accommodate poor monks and disciples." However, the poor monk is afraid, afraid that he will not be entrusted by the master......"

In an instant, Wang Guan and Pi Qiu suddenly realized that they also understood the concerns of the monk in the middle of the mountain.

If the temple is annexed, who should the precious relics in the temple belong to? And who can guarantee that those who annex monasteries will not be interested in precious cultural relics?

Thinking of this, you can know why the monk in the middle of the mountain said that it was difficult.

But knowing that there is really nothing to do about such a thing. Even if he does have some connections, but the relationship is inland, and his hand is not that long enough to reach into Singapore.

"Master."

Pi Qiushi frowned and said: "This kind of thing is not a listed company, as long as a certain percentage of shares are acquired, it can be forcibly annexed." Since it is cooperation, then we must also pay attention to your love and my willingness, if you don't agree, they should be fine. Could it be that they still have to use any shady tricks? ”

"Amitabha." The monk in the middle of the mountain smiled bitterly and sighed lightly: "Buddhism is originally a place of pure cultivation, and the monks should be empty, but they are infected with red dust and troubles, but whatever!" ”

Although he didn't say anything, the attitude itself was the answer, indicating that Pi Qiu had guessed correctly.

"And what is the master going to do?" Wang Guan thought for a moment and muttered, "I don't know anyone in Singapore, but I know rich people in Malaysia, maybe they can help." ”

Through Yu Feibai's greeting, the Chen family should be willing to help, and this matter can be easily solved.

"Won't this be too troublesome for the Wang donor?" The monk in the middle of the mountain moved. Naturally, there is some anticipation.

After all, the temple is not only his place of refuge, but also the inheritance passed down by the master, so he naturally has to find ways to keep it. A square temperament does not mean that the monk will not be flexible, and he can still distinguish the priorities of things.

"No trouble." Wang Guan smiled: "For them, this kind of thing should be just a gesture......

While speaking, he took out his mobile phone and rummaged through the address book, found Chen Shaofeng's phone number and dialed it.

After the phone was connected, Chen Shaofeng was still quite surprised by Wang Guan's call, and after some old greetings, he heard about Wang Guan's request. Immediately pat his chest and make sure to wrap it around him......

"Say hello to Bai Shao for me."

"Okay, thank you, we'll meet again when you have time......" After chatting for a while, the two of them ended the call, and then Wang Guan smiled and said, "Master, you shouldn't have to worry about it now." ”

"Amitabha." The monk in the middle of the mountain was naturally very grateful: "Thank you Wang Shizhu for your help." ”

"It's not in vain to help, Jin Si Nanmu still needs to ask the master to help." Wang Guan said with a smile: "And if you ask for compensation, I won't pay you any more." ”

"Not bad." Pi Qiushi also smiled and said: "I finally have the consciousness of being a boss, and I am moving towards a black-hearted capitalist......"

In a good mood. The monk in the middle of the mountain also joked: "It doesn't matter, if you have time to go to the temple to worship the Buddha in the future, just remember to add a generous amount of sesame oil money." ”

In the midst of laughter, the monks in the middle of the mountain have no worries. Naturally, he agreed to Wang Guan's request.

However, this task cannot be completed in three or two days, so the monk decided to bring the things back to Singapore and send them to them after the task is completed.

"At that time. We should not be in Hong Kong anymore. Pi Qiu reminded him, and then smiled: "Why don't I go over and get it." ”

"Not necessarily!" The monk waved his hand lightly and smiled: "It just so happens that I am also interested and want to go back to the mainland to have a look." When the time comes, please ask the two donors to take care of it. ”

"Then it's good to be in a hurry, just wait for the master to come." Pi Qiu was very happy, but he immediately reacted: "The master is in such a hurry, is he going to leave now?" Not staying in Hong Kong for two more days? ”

"The monk was originally a guest of Hongchen, and after finishing the Hongchen matter, he naturally had to go back to Qing Xiu."

The monk smiled and said, "Besides, the two donors obviously have important things to do, so the poor monk won't bother much." In another ten days or half a month, see you naturally! ”

Seeing that the monk in the middle of the mountain insisted on his attitude, Wang Guan and Pi Qiushi were not easy to persuade again, and sat down for a while before getting up and sending him away.

Soon after, the monk took the plane with his luggage, and the two drove back to the hotel. On the way, Pi Qiushi smiled and said, "Brother, do you regret it?" ”

"Regret what?" Wang Guan was a little puzzled.

"I really don't understand or I don't understand?" Pi Qiushi chuckled and said, "Master Banshan is in trouble, that is the best time to take advantage of the fire to rob, don't tell me, you are not interested in the objects in the temple room." ”

"I'm not that bad." Wang Guan shook his head and said: "The master is a real monk, and he deserves our respect, and he can't covet treasures." ”

"That's right." Pi Qiushi agreed: "I'm already satisfied with a picture of Tang Bo's Tiger Crow Formation, not to mention the Jiaowei Qin you got." For this rare treasure, it is also appropriate to help......"

While speaking, Wang Guan suddenly felt that the direction was wrong, and suddenly said a little strangely: "Brother Pi, where are you going?" ”

"It's still early, I'll take you to meet a few peers." Pi Qiushi said with a smile: "But these peers are a little special, they don't open their own stores, but they often go north to pick up goods, and they are often boutiques, which belong to the best in the industry." ”

"Oh!"

Wang Guan's eyes flashed, and he speculated: "Is it the most popular art dealer among auction companies?" ”

"That's right." Pi Qiushi smiled and said: "Don't look at them not running their own stores, but those who open stores may not make as much money as them." People with good reputation, wide connections and strong ability will receive more than ten times the annual commission of our store profits. ”

Wang Guan nodded lightly, and there was no doubt.

Art broker, this is a modern word, in fact, there has been a profession of broker in China for a long time, and it was called a tooth man in ancient times. To put it bluntly, it is an intermediary in the industry who helps pull fiber, according to the fee standard of three to two, as long as the business is completed, the buyer and seller have to pay him labor fees.

However, the art market has developed so far, and this kind of intermediary is only a petty category, and they are embarrassed to be called art dealers. By modern standards, a real art broker, or brokerage company, is a very capable group of people. The lowest strength of this group of people is also a very senior financial investment consultant; The most powerful is the ability to call the wind and rain in the art auction market, fuel the fire, and affect the price fluctuations of the entire market.

This is not an exaggeration, because some large art agencies often sign contracts to buy out all the rights of the painter's paintings within a year, buy the artist's works in bulk at one time, and then sell them in the market at a higher price to make the difference. Some of them also have long-term contracts with painters and act as agents for nationwide market sales.

Not to mention some unknown small painters, if you can get the agency rights of some famous masters' works, and then carry out a series of packaging, operation and promotion with large auction companies, to a certain extent, you can naturally manipulate the market price.

Of course, Pi Qiu is a few friends to introduce, but they have not yet reached that level.

"They are often asked by the bosses of major companies to buy art that has the potential to appreciate all over the world." Pi Qiushi said with a smile: "After all, Hong Kong's art market is easier to connect with international standards, and there are many people who are willing to spend money to buy art, so they are naturally willing to spend money to hire art investment consultants to help with it." ”

"This is just the opposite of China...... Pi Qiushi shook his head slightly, "There are many people in the domestic collection industry who are willing to spend money to buy things, but there are very few people who are willing to spend money to hire art investment consultants." It's usually on their own, so they often don't know it. ”

"That's right."

Wang Guan thought so, and then said with a smile: "But you can't blame the domestic boss for being stingy, people even buy hundreds of millions of things, and they don't care about giving more commissions." The problem is that there don't seem to be many professional art dealers in China, and even if there are, they are uneven, making it difficult to trust. Otherwise, Boss Li would not have invited Brother Pi from Jinmen to Jiangzhou to watch the Red Sky Ball Bottle. ”

"That's why." Pi Qiushi nodded and said: "Not only in the mainland, but even in Hong Kong, there are very few authoritative and reputable art investment consultants, at least veterans who have been in the industry for more than 15 years. ”

"Then you have to get to know each other." Wang Guan said with a smile, the past year of adventure has made him completely understand that multiple friends and multiple roads are definitely not empty words. To put it mildly, without the help of many friends, even if he is capable, I am afraid he will not be able to achieve his current results.

While talking, Pi Qiushi also drove to a clubhouse. This is supposed to be a private club, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter, but Pi Qiushi's friend obviously said hello, and the doorman let him go after reporting his name.

Pi Qiushi was already familiar with the way, and after entering, he led the way directly in front, and after a short detour, he came to a very spacious and elegant tea room.

At this time, there are a few people sitting in the tea room, and there is a girl in the middle who looks beautiful and wears a cheongsam is making tea.

Of course, hearing the movement outside the door, some people looked up and showed a smile on their faces: "Brother Pi is here, the matter is over?" ”

"That's it."

Pi Qiushi smiled and said, "By the way, bring a colleague from the capital over, please take care of me." ”

"Well, we like to make new friends the most." The man laughed, then stood up, and saw that he was in his forties, with hair in three or seven parts, and very neatly combed, and his body was full of refinement.

"Brother, let's get to know each other." Pi Qiushi said with a smile: "This is Brother Sha, the Sha of the Sha Monk, and the Sha Monk is also a well-known sand (killing) knife in the rivers and lakes." (To be continued.) )
