Chapter 25: The Auction of Golden Pearls
Feng Youjiang and the others heard a loud sound on the north side of the island, and they also ran out to see this great spectacle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"So many fish, and dolphins. It can't be a precursor to a typhoon or tsunami! A skilled worker said worriedly.
Animals are sensitive to the abnormalities of nature, and in the event of a natural disaster, they will flee in groups from the gathering place. In recent years, natural disasters have occurred frequently in China, and everyone has learned a lot of disaster prevention and mitigation knowledge.
Feng Youjiang saw the panicked expressions of the six technicians, and said in an affirmative tone: "This is not a precursor to natural disasters, but a common phenomenon in the ocean. Dolphins are social animals and feed on fish. It's not uncommon to see schools of dolphins chasing migrating fish, and you don't notice anything unusual in the sea in any other direction. ”
A few people looked at the sea in other directions, and there was indeed no abnormal change, and the technician who had just spoken smiled awkwardly at everyone.
As for why the dolphins drove the fish to the island, Feng Youjiang, an old fisherman, also did not explain clearly. But soon everyone forgot this 'why' to a hundred thousand miles away, and rowed a small boat to carry out a rare bucket scooping activity in a century.
If Zhao Kang was here, he would definitely know what attracted the dolphins. The jade beads that I had secretly poured into the core area of the fishing ground for several days finally had an effect.
Zhao Kang is now busy with another gold pearl trade. Among these dozens of pearls, there is a golden pearl with a diameter of at least 30mm. If you go through normal sales channels, the price may not be ideal.
There are so many local tyrants in the world, so there are so many auction houses. Every year, there are also spring auctions, autumn auctions and other grand occasions.
"Mr. Zhao, according to the appraisal of the Bank's senior appraiser. The reserve price of this 32.56mm gold pearl was 200,000 yuan, and the final price is estimated to be between 300,000 and 350,000 yuan. SY Baoxuan account manager Sun Pengfei said with the quality and price appraisal table of gold pearls.
Selling this gold pearl to a jewelry company, Zhao Kang estimated that the price would be around 200,000. If the final price of the auction house is 300,000 yuan, and the auction house takes 10% of the transaction price, Zhao Kang will also get 270,000 yuan.
Normally, there is also a 5% income tax. Zhao Kang is an auction item entrusted in the name of the enterprise, and according to the preferential policy of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship in the university, Ocean Country Tourism Development Co., Ltd. enjoys a one-year exemption from corporate income tax.
Sometimes the policies of the Chinese government are still very beneficial to the people, but the implementation ability is getting worse and worse. The layers of buckles from the higher to the lower levels are left when they reach the hands of the people at the bottom.
Through this policy, Zhao Kang has saved 60,000 or 70,000 yuan in taxes today. Zhao Kang considered whether to send a pennant to the SS Industrial and Commercial Bureau as a token of gratitude.
"No problem, will you be able to make it to Sunday night?" Zhao Kang asked. The reason for looking for small and medium-sized auction houses is that they hold auctions more often, once every half a month or once a month. Large auction houses hold auctions at intervals of at least one quarter. Zhao Kang couldn't wait that long.
"It's no problem to catch up with Sunday's auction, and if Mr. Zhao can wait a little longer, we can advertise that the price may be higher. Gold pearls with such a large diameter and such a translucent color have rarely appeared in recent years. Account manager Sun Pengfei suggested.
Every item in the auction is heavily publicized before the auction begins. On the one hand, it attracts more customers for the auction, and on the other hand, it gathers more buyers for some auction items to increase the transaction price and get more commissions.
"No, I don't. The company is in a hurry to use the money, otherwise I will keep it myself. This thing is a rare treasure now and in the future. Zhao Kang said.
After Zhao Kang signed the entrustment contract, Sun Pengfei handed Zhao Kang another invitation letter. On Sunday evenings, you can lead two people to the auction.
The funds in his hands reached seven figures, and Zhao Kang took the company's financial Qi Shuhong to start a two-day purchase. Including solar power plants for houses under construction, as well as water well pipes, water towers.
"Director Wei, hello!" Zhao Kang, who was about to go to the vegetable seed market to buy soilless cultivation nutrient solution and vegetable seedlings, received a call from Wei Haosheng, director of the service hall of the Ocean Administration.
A happy voice came from the receiver of the mobile phone, "Xiao Zhao, where are you now?" I wasn't in Jinquanyu, I had the attitude of trying it out, but I didn't expect it to get through. ”
Zhao Kang said with a smile: "I am now buying some construction materials in SY City, is there anything Director Wei looking for me?" Am I going to the Ocean Hall? ”
"There is no need to rush here from such a long distance, just to inform you: the comrades of the Provincial Environmental Protection Department and the Environmental Protection Department of the Oceanic Department have a joint team that will go to Jinquanyu to conduct environmental inspections. You don't have to worry, it's just a normal environmental inspection. Not only Jinquanyu, but also the inhabited islands and reefs used in the South China Sea are within the scope of inspection. The local administration and civil protection units have been notified. Wei Haosheng said on the phone.
Environmental protection has always been a big problem in China, the sky is not blue, the ground is not green, and all kinds of sewage flow everywhere. Various environmental protection laws and regulations are handled every year, and tips are not stopped every year.
Zhao Kang thought he had offended someone! Zhao Kang has also been paying attention to environmental protection issues. Jinquanyu is mainly island tourism, so the blue sky and green water are indispensable, and they will not do stupid things like killing chickens and taking eggs.
But sometimes there are some problems that you don't have because you don't say no.
As far as the island's ecological environment laws and regulations are concerned, if they are strictly deducted, all the production and living activities engaged in by Zhao Kang on the island will have a damaging impact on the island's ecology, even if the impact is insignificant. Then he will face a suspension fine, so Zhao Kang will be so nervous when he hears the first half of the sentence.
But if it's normal environmental monitoring. Checked, Zhao Kang was not so worried. All environmental standards and construction plans for the island have been filed and approved by the SS Municipal Oceanic Bureau.
"When the time comes, I will cooperate well with the inspection team. Director Wei can rest assured that the construction of the island was built in accordance with the standards of the relevant laws of our country, and there were no violations. Zhao Kang said reassuringly.
"That's fine, okay. Goodbye, next time I go to the provincial capital, I will definitely visit you. Zhao Kang then hung up the phone.
"Boss, do you have a nutrient solution for soilless cultivation?" Zhao Kang walked into a vegetable seed shop and asked.
"Yes, but it's all solid, and you need to mix it yourself." The boss said when he saw a customer coming in.
Nowadays, soilless cultivation technology is widely used, and there is no single nutrient solution on the market, but the solid components of synthetic nutrient solution, such as calcium nitrate, phosphate and other solid salts, are sold. These salts are diluted and dissolved in water in the required proportion, and a series of chemical reactions occur to form a mixed reagent, which is the nutrient solution of soilless culture.
It contains nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and other macro- or trace elements that plants need. In fact, these minerals dissolved in the liquid are more easily absorbed by plants, and some vegetables and fruits grown without soil are much higher in quality and yield than those grown on the land.
Zhao Kang had also learned in detail about the relevant formulas of soilless cultivation nutrient solution before, and said to the shop owner: "According to the common formula, prepare the dosage of one mu for three months, and the seedlings of tomatoes, cucumbers, bitter gourds, and various green vegetables should be planted at a density of 0.2 mu." ”
Transporting the raw materials and vegetable seedlings of the nutrient solution to the temporary rental warehouse at the wharf, Zhao Kang asked Qi Shuhong, who had been running with him for two days, to leave work early.
In two days, more than 400,000 yuan was spent, and according to the construction plan, the first steel structure house was completed, and Zhao Kang then started the second steel house of the same specification.
Previously, the company's account suddenly received one million, which startled Qi Shuhong. thought that there was a problem with the bank, so he immediately called Zhao Kang to put his heart down. This weekend, I followed Zhao Kang to experience the excitement again, I didn't feel it when I started small things, and later when I spent tens of thousands of dollars or more than 200,000 yuan in bulk materials, Qi Shuhong's hands were trembling every time I confirmed the transfer, and I checked the amount over and over again.
In the evening, I had a small gathering at the second uncle's restaurant, and Lala was homely. Zhao Kang took his parents to Baoxuan Auction House.
"362,000 twelfth, 32.56mm of the best South Sea gold pearl has a higher price. 362,000 for the third time, congratulations to the 12th guest for winning this 32.56mm gold pearl. Our staff will deliver the auction items to you later. Next, let's move on to the next lot, a landscape painting from the Republic of China......" The auctioneer began to explain in detail the life experience of this landscape painting on the auction table.
It's still quite exciting to see others holding up signs. It's a pity that there is no spare money for Zhao Kang to collect, and the auction items here are all ordinary antique calligraphy and paintings.
Zhao Kang brought his parents here to join in the fun, broaden his horizons, and relax his mood. 362,000, which is a little higher than Zhao Kang's estimate. After deducting the auction house's commission, Zhao Kang can also get about 320,000 yuan.
"These auction houses are too easy to make money. One tenths of the commission, a business costs 30,000 or 40,000 yuan. You can't make a million dollars in two hours tonight. It's too black-hearted! On the way home, Cai Anhui, who was sitting in the co-pilot, complained to Zhao Kang and his son.
Zhao Kang introduced with a smile in the back row: "This is what the auction items look like. If it is a rare treasure, or a very expensive lot, you can negotiate with the auction house for a percentage of the commission. All other normal auctions are 10% of the turnover, and this is also the case internationally. Some items are sold directly or sent to auction houses, depending on their popularity. If this gold pearl is sold to a jewelry company, it will be more than 200,000 yuan, which will get nearly half of the yuan. Of course, there are risks, if the transaction price is too low or the auction is unsuccessful, the loss will be relatively large. ”
I heard that Zhao Kang sold the gold pearl at half the price, and the extra 100,000 yuan was worth the net profit of Zhao Qimin's fishing for a year before. Cai Anhui praised Zhao Kang's clever decision and his wise and martial education method.
