Chapter 128: [Deliberately Making Difficulties] (Fourth Update!) Ask for a commuter pass)
"That's right. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Qiao Zhenzhen had a thoughtful expression on her face, just when Manager Zheng thought that she would get rid of the poor boy with no background next to her and hug Guo Qidong's thigh without hesitation, Qiao Zhenzhen's response was beyond everyone's expectations.
"I'm sorry, Guo Dashao's kindness is really appreciated, I still have to accompany my friends."
"Okay, Miss Qiao, I'll take you ...... now" Manager Zheng was halfway through his words, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, and couldn't help but widen his eyes with a face full of horror, this Qiao Zhenzhen actually refused Guo Qidong's invitation?
Doesn't she know what it means to reject Guo Qidong?
"Miss Qiao, don't be joking, Guo Dashao is not as easy to talk as I am, if you don't give him face, I'm afraid it will ......" Manager Zheng's meaning is obvious, if Qiao Zhen really refutes Guo Qidong's face to face, the Qiao family's business in Xiangjiang will not want to continue.
It's just that he doesn't know that Qiao Zhenzhen is a person who eats soft or hard. If it were someone else, I am afraid that I would have succumbed when Manager Zheng moved out and Guo Qidong threatened, but Qiao Zhenzhen didn't accept this set.
At this time, Qin Fan stepped forward and stood between Manager Zheng and Qiao Zhenzhen, and said with a sneer, "Don't you understand people's words, then I'll translate for you." Miss Qiao lets you go as far as you want, don't get the pestle in the eyes. ”
Hearing this, Qiao Zhenzhen burst out laughing and trembled, this big boy's mouth was really poisonous.
And this Manager Zheng, his face suddenly turned blue and purple, and he only felt that a volcano was about to erupt in his chest.
"Okay, you've got it!" Manager Zheng's face was gloomy and terrible, and he held back these words for a long time.
He wanted to take this opportunity to talk to Guo Qidong well, but he didn't know that he had a nose of dust here with Qin Fan. If Guo Qidong blames him, he is afraid that he will not have any good fruit to eat.
"Stinky boy, don't think I can't cure you, you don't have your arrogance in Lao Tzu's territory." Seeing that Qiao Zhenzhen didn't sell Guo Qidong's face because of Qin Fan's relationship, Manager Zheng started to use his crooked brain to drive this troublesome kid out.
At this time, Manager Zheng beckoned to a staff member at the auction venue and whispered a few words in his ear.
Then, the staff member walked up to Qin Fan and said in an unkind tone, "This gentleman, according to our son's regulations, participating in this auction requires a proof of assets of one million US dollars. ”
"Proof of assets for a million dollars?" Qiao Zhenzhen's face was a little unpleasant and asked, "How come I have never heard of what proof of assets is required to participate in the auction." ”
Qiao Zhenzhen has participated in many large and small auctions at home and abroad, and has never heard of any auction company that will provide customers with any proof of assets. This is clearly that Zheng Fat Man is deliberately making things difficult for Qin Fan.
"If there was no before, it doesn't mean that there is no now, Miss Qiao's auction this time is full of celebrities, if some idle people who fish in troubled waters are mixed in, it will cause great damage to the company's reputation. Thank you for your understanding. ”
Manager Zheng looks like a businessman, but his villain face makes Qiao Zhen really feel very disgusted.
"What if I don't have any proof of assets?"
Qin Fan was also a little moved in his heart, looked at Manager Zheng coldly, and said in a cold voice.
"Hehe, then according to the rules of the auction company, I can only ask this gentleman out." Manager Zheng waved his hand, and several black-clothed security guards hired by the auction company quickly surrounded him, staring at Qin Fan with fierce eyes.
"I want to complain to the head office, you are abusing your power for personal gain."
Qiao Zhenzhen's pretty face suddenly turned cold, and he gritted his silver teeth and said word by word.
Hearing that Qiao Zhenzhen was going to complain to the head office, a trace of panic flashed in Manager Zheng's eyes, but he quickly calmed down. If he can hug Guo Qidong's thigh, it is not impossible to become the president of the auction company in Asia, and it will be useless no matter how Qiao Zhenzhen complains.
"This is Miss Qiao's right, you can complain to the head office afterwards, but now we have to review the assets of this gentleman."
Manager Zheng saw that Qin Fan was dressed ordinarily, not like he had any background, and it was impossible to get a proof of assets of one million US dollars.
"Qin Fan, let's go. It is okay not to participate in such auctions. ”
At this time, Rao is Qiao Zhenzhen couldn't help but be a little angry, she would rather not come to this auction than see her friend being insulted in vain.
However, Qin Fan left without raising his feet, coldly glanced at Manager Zheng, who was a villain, and said slowly, "We are all here, how can we raise our legs and leave because some villains are difficult, isn't this a joke." ”
Hearing that this kid actually scolded him for being a villain in front of him, the green tendons on Manager Zheng's forehead jumped several times.
If it weren't for the fear that he was not Qin Fan's opponent, Manager Zheng would have rushed up to fight with this kid even if he gave up the 100 catties of fat on his body.
"Hmph, if you can't get proof of assets, you have to go." Manager Zheng held back his anger and said in a strange way.
"Who told you I couldn't get proof of assets?"
Qin Fan looked at Manager Zheng with a playful expression, took out a Citibank platinum card from his pocket and handed it to the staff of the auction company.
Seeing that Qin Fan actually took out a Citibank platinum card from his body, Manager Zheng suddenly chuckled in his heart, and a hint of a bad premonition floated.
As the manager of the auction company, Manager Zheng naturally knew the weight of this platinum card, but he never expected that this turtle from the mainland actually had a Citibank platinum card on him.
It's just that he didn't know that this platinum card was given to Qin Fan by Boss Shen, and it contained 20 million RMB from Qin Fan selling the jadeite.
"Hmph, maybe there's no money in this card, this kid is just bluffing."
Manager Zheng comforted himself so much in his heart, but he didn't even believe it when he said it. After all, Citibank's Platinum Card isn't something that anyone can get their hands on.
Not long after, after verifying the amount in the platinum card, the staff of the auction company ran over in a panic and respectfully returned the card to Qin Fan, and at this time, the contempt and disdain on his face had already been thrown out of the clouds.
"Is there really $1 million in this card?"
It wasn't until this time that Manager Zheng knew that he had lost his eyes, and the kid from the mainland next to Qiao Zhenzhen turned out to be a rich man who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger.
He originally wanted to hug Guo Qidong's thigh, but now it's good that Guo Qidong's thigh didn't hug it, but instead lifted a stone and hit his own foot. It is conceivable that afterwards, Qiao Zhenzhen will definitely complain to the head office that he is abusing his power for personal gain, and without Guo Qidong as a backer, he is likely to be removed from the position of manager.
Thinking of this, Manager Zheng regretted it in his heart, and he couldn't wait to slap himself.
"I'm really sorry, but this time it was all my job mistake. As a token of my apology, I can give you a 5% discount on the sale price. ”
At this time, Manager Zheng couldn't do it even if he didn't accept it, and kept nodding and apologizing to Qin Fan and Qiao Zhenzhen, asking them to raise their noble hands and not complain to the head office.
"Hehe, do you think we're going to lack your 5%?" Qiao Zhenzhen's anger did not subside, her beautiful eyes rolled, and she said angrily.
Manager Zheng was sweating profusely, for fear that Qiao Zhenzhen would complain to the head office, and his efforts for more than ten years would be in vain. "What does Miss Yiqiao mean?"
A hint of cunning flashed in Qiao Zhenzhen's eyes, like a shrewd fox and said, "At least 15% discount, otherwise don't talk about it." ”
"It can't be!" Manager Zheng couldn't help but exclaim, the art auction movement is in the millions, and a 15% discount is millions, and there is no way to win this discount with his authority.
"Then there's no way, Manager Zheng, just wait for the complaint letter from the head office."
Qiao Zhenzhen is worthy of being born in the Department of Business Management, and is very good at using his own advantages to obtain the greatest benefits, and he suddenly has an advantage in negotiations.
Manager Zheng hesitated for a while, and then begged for mercy with a cold sweat on his face, "Miss Qiao, I really don't have the authority to approve the 15% discount, and I can only give you a 10% discount at most." ”
"12 percent, I've made the biggest concession."
Manager Zheng shook his teeth and agreed with a painful face. As for the discount beyond his authority, he can only pay for it out of his own pocket.
"This waste, even this little thing can't be done."
Seeing this scene, Guo Qidong's face was also a little unpleasant, in the one-third of an acre of land in Xiangjiang, no one dared not sell his face.
It's just that now he can't have a seizure, so he can only wait for this auction to end before trying to find a way to save face.
And at this moment, the mysterious man sitting next to Guo Qidong also noticed Qin Fan's side, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, took out his mobile phone and made a call.
This little episode before the start of the auction did not affect the mood of the guests, and the special auction of Hailao porcelain started on time.
Under the leadership of the master of ceremonies, more than a dozen young girls wearing Chinese-style cheongsams appeared on the stage with exquisite porcelain.
Seeing this piece of exquisite porcelain, everyone's eyes lit up at this moment.
Qin Fan's eyes fell on more than a dozen exquisite Hailao porcelain, among the wide varieties of Hailao porcelain, blue and white porcelain accounted for 40%, among which the blue and white porcelain produced in Zhangzhou, Fu Province was the most sought after by Europeans at that time.
The famous Clark porcelain is actually the blue and white porcelain produced in Zhangzhou, "Clark" was originally the general name of the Portuguese ship, the sea overlord of the year The Netherlands hijacked the Portuguese "Catherina", and transported the porcelain on the ship to Amsterdam for auction, which attracted the attention and love of the European royal family, and called this porcelain Clark porcelain.
"Qin Fan, what do you think of this batch of porcelain, is it worth investing in collecting?"
Qiao Zhenzhen's eyes widened, and he looked at this batch of exquisite Hailao porcelain intently, and asked with anticipation.
