Chapter 191: Togetherness is mutually beneficial
"Thirty-five million!" Number Two Twenty-Five loosened his tie and unbuttoned the first button on the collar of his shirt, a sinister smile on his lips. --Fengwu Literature Network--
"Three thousand five million five thousand!"
"Forty million!"
"Four and fifty thousand!"
All the people in the audience were enthusiastic, whether it was a famous collector or an interview on the side, the price of 40 million yuan has broken the world record for the auction price of Chinese art collections. No one could have imagined that during the Great Depression, which was deeply affected by the Asian financial crisis, there would be a record auction price at the Shanghai Harvest Winter Auction that had not been produced during the previous years of economic prosperity.
"Fifty million!" The sweat from No. 225's forehead came down, and he unbuttoned another button.
"Five fifty thousand!" Ye Jianmin is still in good time.
The "52 million ......" No. 225 was obviously unable to withstand it, and the price increase was reduced from 5 million to 2 million each time.
Ye Jianmin smiled and held up the sign: "Fifty-five million!" Obviously, Ye Jianmin has figured out the strength of No. 225 and tried to defeat No. 225 in one fell swoop.
"Five thousand five hundred and fifty thousand!" Number Two Twenty-Five's head was scattered, and there was a white gas on his forehead, and he gritted his teeth and shouted fiercely. Through the telephoto lens, the note captured on the side keenly captured the blood marks on the lips of No. 225.
The venue was noisy again, obviously everyone didn't expect that No. 225 would adopt the same strategy as Ye Jianmin, in the way of others. and to others. Everybody's talking. Let's see how Ye Jianmin responds to this new challenge.
Ye Jianmin smiled coldly, as if he had seen through the No. 225 extraterrestrial powerhouse, he stood up and said lightly to No. 225 in very non-standard Mandarin: "After I make this offer, if you have a kind of price increase." Then I definitely won't ask for a price again. ”
Then he held up a sign and said to the auction host: "Sixty million!" ”
Two hundred and twenty-five froze and stayed there.
The auction host also ignored the other buyers in the auction hall, and his eyes were straight at No. 225 and shouted frantically: "60 million, 60 million yuan!" Buyer No. 328 offered $60 million. Are there buyers out of higher prices no? ”
Number 225 was covered in sweat, his lips trembled, and he just spoke.
"Sixty million once. Sixty million times. Sixty million once! The auction host also untied his tie and shouted frantically.
Ye Jianmin looked at No. 225 with a smile and said, "You only need to add another 50,000 yuan, just 50,000 yuan, and this Qing Qianlong imperial enamel plum blossom primrose bowl is yours." ”
No. 225 clutched the price card in his left hand, and the green tendons on the back of his hand burst out one by one, he wanted to hold up the fluttering bidding card very much, but at this moment, the bidding card that looked light and nothing was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and pressed his arm heavily......
"Sixty million twice. Sixty million twice. The buyer of No. 328 offered 60 million! The auction host's voice was hoarse like a broken gong, and he was almost shouting: "Buyer 225, are you willing to pay a higher price?" Are you willing to pay a higher price? ”
Everyone, including the auction host and the number 225, ignored the auction host's gaffe, where is the auction host naming people to ask for the price? This is absolutely against the rules!
But at this time, no one felt that the auction host was doing this as a gaffe. --Phoenix-Dance-Literature-Learning-Net--Because today's auction seems to be a special auction for No. 328 Ye Jianmin and No. 225 mobs of unknown origin. The price of their last auction item was ten times higher than the total auction price of the previous more than 300 auction items, including the previous Shangjiao cup above the imperial white jade carving of the Qing Dynasty, which set a record for the auction price of a Chinese white jade cup.
Player 225 jerked off the tie that hung loosely around his neck and slammed it to the ground. said to Ye Jianmin: "You won!" We'll see next time! Then he turned and hurried away from the auction room.
On the 225th, I got out of the Portman Hotel, got into a BMW car with a Shanxi license plate, and drove into the rolling traffic.
"Grandma, it's hot to death!" Contestant No. 225 took off his suit, unbuttoned his shirt, and peeled off a white object similar to a plaster from his body, "The hot treasure produced in Little Japan just works, and I can't help but want to sweat when I stick it on my body." If it weren't for these things, even though the auction hall was air-conditioned, it would be very difficult to sweat profusely in winter! ”
The driver of the BMW smiled and did not speak.
"No, I have suffered such a big crime this time, I must be able to add money to me!" No. 225 muttered, "20,000 is too little, I'm sorry for my superb acting skills, you said to Mr. Hong, at least add 20,000 to me." ”
"No problem!" The driver's voice of the BMW car became cold, "I'm afraid that you will have your life to take the extra 20,000 yuan, but you will not have your life to spend!" ”
Number Two Hundred and Twenty-Five immediately shut up
The BMW driver smiled secretly, it seems that Mr. Hong's teaching method really works, sometimes, pretending to be the underworld is much better than spending money!
"Sixty million three times, deal!" The auction hammer of the auction host struck down heavily, "Congratulations on No. 328, you have won the last auction item of this auction, the Qing Qianlong Imperial Enamel Plum Blossom Spring Map!" ”
There was a round of applause at the venue!
Ye Jianmin raised his hands high and thanked the surroundings: "Thank you seniors for your support, thank you brothers for your love, and the spotlight flashed non-stop for a while."
Dozens of families immediately flocked to Ye Jianmin's side, and the Meimei Ji, who was at the forefront, asked: "May I ask Mr. Ye Jianmin, after a fierce competition." You finally won this Qing Qianlong imperial enamel plum blossom spring picture bowl. How do you feel at this moment? ”
Ye Jianmin laughed and said in a thick Cantonese accent: "To be honest, I was very surprised, really, really surprised!" ”
"Originally, before I came to the auction. It is estimated that the price of this Qianlong imperial enamel plum blossom spring bowl is 80 million yuan. I really didn't expect that I only spent 60 million yuan to successfully photograph this bowl, and such a low price was really beyond my expectations. ”
There was an uproar around, and all the people, including Ji, did not expect that in Ye Jianmin's eyes, the value of this Qing Qianlong imperial enamel plum blossom primrose bowl was so high.
Another Ji asked: "May I ask Mr. Ye Jianmin, you took this plum blossom primrose bowl for yourself." Or as a surrogate. Shot for someone else? ”
Ye Jianmin shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm sorry, I have nothing to say!" ”
In the evening of the same day, CCTV's news broadcast broadcast in Chinese included this news: "According to the news that this station has just received, at the winter auction of Shanghai Castby Auction House, which ended at 6 p.m. today, a Qianlong imperial enamel plum blossom primrose bowl was auctioned for 60 million yuan, which also set a world record for the auction price of Chinese art collections. According to relevant experts, this Qing Qianlong imperial enamel plum blossom spring picture bowl ......"
The next day, almost all influential newspapers in the country published the news.
Of course, Castroby Shanghai did not pay much for the CCTV report. The next day's newspaper published the news, and Castrobe did not pay for the promotion. Because there is no need to pay any publicity fees at all, with the world-record auction price here, those who want to interview Carlsberg auction house still need to pay an interview fee!
With the widespread influence of CCTV, coupled with the influence of major newspapers across the country, everyone knows it. A broken bowl from the Qing Dynasty was sold for 60 million. For a time, all the big dealers of cultural relics, small dealers, and second-class dealers in all parts of the country went to the countryside en masse. Searching frantically everywhere to see if there is a broken bowl that has been fed to cats in the backwoods that is a relic of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. I don't expect to sell for 60 million, I can sell for more than 50 million, and I can at least go from the second milk bag to the thirteenth aunt in this life.
In a remote villa on the outskirts of Shanghai, Dihong, the president of Shanghai Castby's auction house, is haggling with a young man hiding in the shadows.
"According to the rules of the auction house, you have to charge 5 percent of the buyer's handling fee, and 5 percent of the seller's handling fee. Of the 60 million turnover, we should charge 6 million. Now I'll give you a 5% discount and charge you a total of 3 million yuan, are you still too high? ”
"Hehe, President Hong, can't the account be counted like this!" A familiar voice sounded, it was Zhao Changfeng's very charming voice, "President Hong, you must first think that with this world-record auction price, it is equivalent to giving you a free advertisement for Shanghai Castby Auction House." Think about it, the last time CCTV news broadcast program, how much advertising money is this equivalent to? In addition, major auction houses and art collectors around the world now know that there is a Castroby auction house in Shanghai, China, which has set a world record. In the future, a large number of sellers will send collectibles to your Castby auction house for auction, and collectors from all over the world will come to your Castby auction to buy priceless collectibles. In this way, the business volume of Castby Auction House will show explosive growth in the future, and you don't know how much commission you earn from it. ”
Zhao Changfeng said slowly: "This is one of them. Second, we have said in advance, we only pay 1.5 million for the operation of the auction house this time, and President Hong temporarily changed his mind, I'm afraid it's not okay? ”
President Hong's voice became gloomy: "Director Zhao, if that's the case, then there is any inside information leaked out of this auction, but it has nothing to do with our Castrobe auction house!" ”
"Hehe, there is something to say, why should President Hong be angry?" Zhao Changfeng was still not annoyed, and hid in the shadows and said calmly: "In this way, I will call Director Du of the Military Affairs Department of the Shanghai Garrison Command, and you can say a few words to him?" ”
President Hong fought a cold war with excitement. said that he just knew the people on the road, not the real underworld, even if he was a real underworld brother. How dare you provoke the notoriously ruthless Garrison Command? President Hong knew that Zhao Changfeng was not scaring him when he moved out of the garrison headquarters. Because Zhao Changfeng came to Castby Auction House to discuss business, it was all the military vehicle pick-up and drop-off of the Garrison Command, and President Hong had been in the auction house for so many years, so he naturally knew how powerful it was. He originally thought that although Zhao Changfeng knew the people of the garrison headquarters. But Zhao Changfeng himself is just an ordinary petty official in the provincial capital city of the mainland, and in the eyes of Shanghainese is equivalent to a hillbilly, he scares a few words, Zhao Changfeng will definitely panic, he will not think of using the garrison headquarters at all, and he did not expect that although Zhao Changfeng is young, he has seen the world. His words were hard and he pushed them back.
Just when President Hong was embarrassed and didn't know what to do. Zhao Changfeng's words sounded again: "President Hong, if there is really inside information leaked out, although it is not good for us, it is even more unfavorable for your Shanghai Harvest Auction House." The sensational advertising effect achieved earlier is gone, and the sudden increase in the brand value of Castel Auction House has been reduced to zero, and I am afraid it has become a negative number. With such a scandal, not only will Castby's business not grow significantly, but I am afraid that no buyers and sellers will come to Castby Auction House to participate in any auctions, right? Is this a bit more than worth the loss for President Hong? ”
Zhao Changfeng continued: "President Hong. Therefore, Castroby Auction House and our Zhongyuan Tianwaitian Co., Ltd. are actually grasshoppers on the same rope, and no one can do without each other. You need to think about where to go! ”
There was a pause. Zhao Changfeng said again: "President Hong." In addition, the 60 million auction money of the buyer represented by Ye Jianmin will truthfully be credited to the account of our Zhongyuan Tianwaitian shares, so even if you leak the so-called inside information. It will not affect the shares of Zhongyuan Tianwaitian, but will only affect the image of your Shanghai Castby auction house. The so-called local evidence you have in hand is just because you hired a person to pretend to be a buyer to raise the price of the auction item, and if you rush this point, Ye Jianmin can sue you and sue you for bankruptcy. One or twenty million things were brought by you to the two hundred and twenty-fifth buyer to carry it to sixty million yuan, hehe, you know the consequences very well, right? ”
President Hong is worthy of being an old man rolling in the business field, with a very thick skin, and under the turn of his heart, he immediately smiled and said: "Haha, Director Zhao, I was just joking with you, why are you still serious?" You don't have a sense of humor as an old man like me! ”
"President Hong, I'm joking with you too!" Zhao Changfeng stood up with a smile, "Okay, since it's all negotiated, I won't bother President Hong." ”
President Hong immediately stretched out his hand attentively: "Director Zhao, happy cooperation." Zhao Changfeng's hand lightly touched President Hong's hand and slid away, "Happy cooperation!" ”
Zhongzhou, Tianwaitian Group, Chairman Xu's Office.
"Director Zhao, thanks to your strategizing!" Chairman Xu laughed: "With the profit of more than 50 million yuan from the auction of the imperial enamel of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, and after making up for the 30 million yuan deficit of Zhongyuan Tianwaitian shares, we can still make a profit of more than 20 million yuan in 1998." ”
Zhao Changfeng said: "I can only use this method to get through the difficulties, but what to do in 99 years, Chairman Xu has to take a good idea." ”
Chairman Xu nodded again and again, and said: "Director Jin has discussed this issue with me, if it was before, I am not sure, but we invested 300 million yuan to buy the shares of Zhongyuan Tianwaitian shares, and the stock will definitely rise sharply after the annual report comes out." When the time comes, we will sell it out, and we can make at least six or seven billion, and this money can be invested in a part of Zhongyuan Tianwaitian Co., Ltd., and the pressure of Zhongyuan Tianwaitian Co., Ltd. will be linked. ”
Zhao Changfeng said: "Not a part, but all!" He looked at Chairman Xu a little reluctant, and continued: "Chairman Xu, you have to do this, and you must also announce to the outside world that all the funds obtained from the sale of Zhongyuan Tianwaitian shares will be lent to Zhongyuan Tianwaitian shares for long-term use free of charge, so as to help Zhongyuan Tianwaitian shares successfully achieve the integration goal." Only in this way will the outside world continue to maintain its trust in Zhongyuan Tianwaitian shares
Chairman Xu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf, this money is also earned from the stock market anyway." ”
