Chapter 242: Warming Up Publicity
After arriving in Vancouver, Su Mei, the workaholic queen, immediately began to work, first going to the Saint Peak oil field in Newfoundland to start the opening work after the year, and at the same time began to check those more famous auction houses in England for calculation and screening. Pick out three to four strong auction house companies.
After Sun Feng stayed in Vancouver for a few days, he also went to Newfoundland, and this time, Wu Mengxin went to Liadburg to sit in the Marr iron ore field. He Minyi, Yang Xue, and Liang Ying's three daughters chose to stay in Vancouver to recuperate, after all, both daughters are pregnant, He Minyi wants to take care of the child again, and the three daughters just take care of each other.
Today, the office building of Edge Ocean Discovery is located in the heart of St. John's, Newfoundland.
The chairman's office of Fengrui Ocean Exploration Company.
"Boss, after a lot of understanding and analysis, I have selected three auction companies that are more powerful and have a good reputation, you can see how it is." Su Mei knocked on the door and came in, came to Sun Feng, and handed Sun Feng a printed document.
"Oh, it's efficient, I'll take a look." Sun Feng took it and looked at it seriously, there are three companies on this information, namely the Royal Auction House of England, the Excellence Auction House, and the other is called the Ancient Palace Auction House. Above, each auction house has a detailed description of their auction records over the years, external evaluations, and so on.
After taking a look, Sun Feng knew that these three auction houses were all top auction houses in the West, with branches in many countries around the world, and their strength and customer source were very strong, so they should have a deep background in the background.
"Yes. All three auction houses are good, and it looks like we're going to find some time to talk to them. Sun Feng said.
"Yes. These three auction houses not only have strong strength, but also cooperate with many well-known marine salvage companies. Companies in the cultural relics and antiques industry have cooperated, and word of mouth has also received praise from the industry. Almost every year, there are several grand auctions that attract the wealthy, collectors, and companies in the antique jewelry industry to participate in the auctions. Su Mei said.
"Okay, you immediately hold a press conference, and when the press conference is over, we'll go over." Sun Feng thought. It's also time to announce the upcoming auction of the gold fleet.
"That's okay, I started contacting some media and newspapers a few days ago, and I can hold a press conference as soon as tomorrow." Su Mei said confidently.
"In that case, let's hold it tomorrow." Without further ado, the sooner the better.
The next day, Fengrui Ocean Exploration Company held a press conference again, and many media came to cover and report, and some of them were broadcast live. In the past two months, these media have been paying close attention to the actions of Fengrui Ocean Exploration Company.
Sun Feng did not attend this press conference. Only Su Mei attended with a few assistants, the first of which was to announce that the golden fleet would be auctioned off, and was currently looking for a more powerful auction house to cooperate with it. The last bombshell is this: the treasure of the golden fleet is worth about $3.5 billion!
As soon as this news was released, it caused an uproar in the industry. Many auction houses, as well as wealthy people who like to collect antique gold, are paying attention to this matter.
In particular, as soon as the news of the value of the gold fleet of 3.5 billion US dollars came out, it was immediately reported by various media. I feel that the whole industry has been thundered by this number!
The Canadian Citizen: $3.5 billion worth of gold fleet gold treasures. If this auction goes well, it will be the biggest auction in the industry in the 21st century! Not one of them!
Globe: Soon after. We're going to see one of the biggest auctions in the world! I don't know if that auction house will be lucky enough to be favored by the Edge Ocean Exploration Company. And how many rich, collectors. Pre-auction by companies in the antique jewelry industry
The day after the press conference was released, more than 30 auction houses from all over the world called Fengrui Ocean Exploration Company to seek cooperation, and the customer service phone number almost burst up.
Sun Feng and Su Mei had expected this situation, it was a gold treasure auction worth 3.5 billion US dollars, if any auction house could take this big order, it would not only be as simple as getting a huge commission fee. And with this grandest auction in the 21st century, you can raise the popularity and status of your auction house in the industry! It's a great thing, just look at who the flowers are.
In the face of such temptation, can those international auction houses not go crazy? One by one, they called the customer service of Fengrui Ocean Exploration Company to promote themselves, and some of them even stalked and lowered the commission indefinitely.
Among them, there are auction houses that are not famous in the slightest, and some are internationally famous auction houses, and all of them have lowered their profiles to ask.
"Boss, these auction houses are crazy, it's like a shark smells blood." Su Mei looked at the non-stop phone and felt helpless. The customer service ladies who have just been on the job for a short time are busy.
"Hehe, can you not be crazy? At present, the commission charged internationally is generally about 10%, how much do you think they can earn? Sun Feng sneered. Ten percent, that's 350 million US dollars, and it's more than 2 billion when converted into RMB. Do you say you make money or not, do you say the other party is crazy or not? Even if it is a first-class auction company, this big business is estimated to be more than their turnover for half a year, maybe more.
"Alas, 10 percent is still a little bit more, there is no movement on the Spanish side at the moment, and if they want a piece of the pie, we only have 80 percent of the benefits left." Su Mei's tone was a bit like insatiable.
"Haha, even if 80% I am content, a few years ago, the most famous marine salvage company in the world salvaged a wreck in Spain, which was worth more than 500 million US dollars, and then because the location was not on the high seas, it was directly robbed back by those people in Spain. In the end, not only did he not get any benefits, but he wasted so many years looking for the wreck, and he also helped others salvage them in vain, and he lost a lot of money. We're in luck. Sun Feng said.
"Well, in that case, we're lucky that the gold fleet was found on the high seas, and it didn't take years to find it." After Su Mei heard this, she suddenly felt that she was indeed a little dissatisfied just now, quack.
