Xi Qing nodded and said, "Yes, these international speculators just took advantage of the patriotic psychology of everyone here to hype up the antiques that were not so valuable at sky-high prices. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

For your original intention, I personally admire, but for this kind of behavior, I do not agree, this will lead to the price of Chinese antiques in the international market is inflated, for the long-term development of the collection industry, is not beneficial, so we can not raise the price, and this itself is not good for us......"

After Xi Qing finished saying this, the conference room became quiet, the truth of Xi Qing's words was very superficial, everyone understood it, but few people thought about it.

Although it is not very accurate to measure a person's success by the amount of money, people who can make the enterprise a big thing must have their own ideas for the analysis and judgment of a thing.

But after all, when it comes to doing it, many people can't help but pursue their favorite objects, and for them, price is not the first factor to consider, so they often fall into other people's traps and buy items that are not worth their money.

Just like China's Tang Sancai, once in the late eighties and early nineties of the last century, it was all the rage, and was hyped by some foreign people with ulterior motives, and there were some patriots and speculators who bought it at that time, but now, the value of those Tang Sancai has been greatly reduced, and it has shrunk a lot.

Therefore, as soon as Xi Qing's words came out, whether it was someone who really wanted to return the national treasure in his heart, or someone who wanted to invest and make money, they all began to think seriously about whether his behavior of helping international speculators to fuel the flames was correct?

"Xiao Xi, you also know that the current antique industry is a seller's market, and the people who have the goods in their hands have the right to speak, we either don't buy it, or we can only act according to their rules, if we can't break this shackle, the situation will not be improved......"

Mr. Liu, who is in the non-ferrous metals business, said his thoughts to Xi Qing after pondering for a while, which is also the idea of most people in the audience.

These precious Chinese antiques are in the hands of a few people abroad, and it is up to others to decide when they will be sold and at what price.

"Mr. Liu, this is ...... Actually, it's not like there's no way to solve it......"

"How to fix it?"

Xi Qing pondered for a moment and said: "Antiques are certainly a seller's market due to their particularity, but in the same way, antiques from China have a very limited audience, and I believe that in addition to everyone here, there are only some people in Japan and the United Kingdom who are collecting Chinese art......

After hearing Xi Qing's words, many people in the audience couldn't help but light up their eyes.

"So as long as we unite and use actions to resist the speculation of the state speculators, they will not take any advantage, the key is to unite ......"

"Yes, Xiao Xi, you also said it, but this unity ...... It's easier said than done......"

Mr. Liu sighed, this is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, no one has an account in their hearts, and the way and behavior of looking at things are also different.

These people are extremely successful people in their respective fields, no one obeys anyone, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are disputes.

Among these people in the venue, they are also divided into many small circles, some have good relationships, some have poor relationships, and those with poor relationships can sometimes even raise prices at the auction site in order to gamble, so that outsiders can see jokes.

Therefore, the word "union" mentioned by Xi Qing is basically impossible. If they can do it without maliciously raising prices with each other, that is Amitabha.

Xi Qing nodded and said, "It's not easy, but whether it's an investment or a collection, let me ask everyone here, do you want to buy your favorite collection at the lowest price?" ”

"Nonsense, whose money is blown by the wind, of course the cheaper the better......"

"Yes, but the auctioneer will lose a lot, they will find an excuse to raise the price, sometimes even if we know, we have to follow the price increase......"

"That's right, the last time I took a Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain, I could have won more than 500,000 euros, but in the end I spent more than 1.5 million, and I don't know if it's worth it......

As soon as Xi Qing's words fell, there was a discussion in the crowd, they didn't know that the auction house was playing with those cats, but when it came to the end, sometimes they were chasing ducks to the shelves, and they were hard-headed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, have you ever thought about what would happen if we didn't bid maliciously and ignored the auction house's price increase?"

Everyone was stunned when Xi Qing's words were spoken, because the situation that Xi Qing said was basically unlikely to happen, so they didn't think about this problem.

"If you can do this, I can guarantee that not only will many people be able to auction their favorite objects, but even auction houses will not dare to maliciously raise the price...... As we all know, auction houses raise prices, but also to bear the risk, if no one follows the price, they have to pay for the auctioned items, one or two they may be able to afford.

But if the number and quantity are too large, I'm afraid these auction houses will not dare to do this again, so that we can buy what we like fairly and fairly......"

What Xi Qing said is not only referring to the international auction market, but also the method often used by domestic antique shops, in the jargon, this is "hard work", which exceeds the affordability of the auction house, and can also be said to be "supporting", so that they can't eat and walk around!

"In fact, no one has a grudge against money, everyone can "together" and "catch a lot" in advance, anyway, even if this auction does not sell, next time you can let the bid that is not your turn, so that everyone can buy the best object with the lowest auction price, it is better than fighting for a red face and a thick neck every time, and then give money to foreigners in vain, right? ”

Xi Qing's "together" refers to the fact that some groups negotiate the bidding money first, and "draw a lot" means that the order of the lots can be arranged, and the way of drawing lots can be used to decide who will bid for the auction.

"However, the people who came to participate in the auction this time are basically working independently, and there is no communication in advance, so it is obviously impossible to use the method of drawing lots...... But we can change the way, that is, whoever bids first, the object will be auctioned by him, and the rest of the people are not allowed to rush to the auction, and we must say it first, if the auction house raises the price, the first person to bid must also give up decisively, we can't get used to their problem......"

Xi Qing's thinking is very transparent now, standing in front of the conference room, he analyzed the pros and cons one by one, and everyone in the audience nodded one after another.

"Xiao Xi, what if someone grabs it quickly and is robbed by him every time? My old man's reaction is not as good as that of you young people......"

Mr. Liu's words caused everyone to laugh, but what he said was also true, if according to what Xi Qing said, after the first person bids, the rest of the people can't grab the auction, some people will suffer.

"Hehe, Mr. Liu, this is easy to do, I heard that this special auction will be held for a total of five days, there are hundreds of antiques from China, we can also say good, everyone is only allowed to shoot once, in this way, everyone can shoot an object, it is better than a fight to make people laugh, right? I think everyone has something to gain in this way, in short, you can't let foreigners lead the way. ”

"That's ......" Mr. Liu nodded and stopped talking.

"That makes sense."

After the people in the audience first heard Xi Qing's words, they first felt a little unbelievable, but if you think about it carefully, this method is really good, many people may have taken a fancy to an object, then it depends on who bids fast, and the person who bids first can't make another move later, which is equivalent to another chance for others.

After pondering for a while, Ms. Wang stood up and said, "Why don't you ...... Let's try it according to what Xiao Xi said today? Let's vote, if everyone agrees, let's try it according to this method, we can't always let the auction house lead us by the nose, right? ”

"Ms. Wang is right, I agree with ......"

"I also agree, don't give all the money to foreigners, as long as we are united, no one is afraid of ......"

"By a show of hands, I agree ......"

After the audience discussed for a while, many people raised their hands one after another, and some people who were originally watching reluctantly raised their hands when they saw the anger of the crowd.

Of course, among these people, there must be people who disagree, but they are all people with great status in various fields, and since they have agreed today, they will definitely act according to the rules in the future, and in this circle, the consequence of not following the rules is to be kicked out of the circle.

After reaching this simple agreement, everyone suddenly felt that everyone was much closer, and people who didn't know much about each other when they met were able to sit down and chat together.

It was only about 10 minutes before and after this incident, and just as the atmosphere in the conference room was very harmonious, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Dennis and Daniel walked in, followed by Kate, the lawyer who was clamoring to sue the auction house.

"Mr. Xi, the matter has been clearly understood, it is our auction house lawyer Kate who misunderstood what Mr. Xi said, so in order to protect the interests of the auction house, he made an inappropriate move towards Mr. Xi, Kate also recognized his mistake, and now he has come to apologize to Mr. Xi......"

As soon as Dennis's words fell, Kate walked to Xi Qing's side, bowed deeply, and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xi, I don't know much about Chinese, I misunderstood the meaning of your words, I retract what I said before, and I apologize most sincerely for the harm caused to you!" ”

"Damn, this kid is a scapegoat......"

Xi Qing looked at Kate speechlessly, thinking of revealing this matter lightly, and it also depends on whether she agrees or not.

Xi Qing did not accept Kate's apology, but looked at Dennis and said, "Mr. Dennis, can I ask you a question?" ”

Dennis nodded, "Of course you can ......"

"I wonder if what Mr. Kate, as a lawyer for your firm, says can be representative of your firm's intentions. If that's the case, I hope that the person who apologizes to me should be you, not Kate......"

Xi Qing's words Dennis's face changed greatly, although the development of this matter was a little uncontrollable, but he never thought of bowing his head and apologizing.

Dennis's auction house is headquartered in England, where he is also an Englishman, and where he is now located is only a branch in France.

As far as Dennis, whose ancestors were British nobles, was concerned, he also looked down on the Chinese from the bottom of his heart, and if it weren't for China's strong national strength in recent years and the bulging Chinese pockets, he would not have made a mediation posture today.

What Xi Qing said now can be regarded as hitting Dennis's key point, asking him to apologize to a Chinese young man who is lower than him in terms of age and status, which Dennis cannot accept no matter what.

"Mr. Xi, I have made the gesture I deserve, and Kate, as the main person responsible for this matter, has also apologized to you, I hope you can accept his apology, this matter is over!"

The smile on Dennis's face was long gone, replaced by a gloomy face, his endurance for Xi Qing had reached the extreme, if Daniel hadn't kept glancing at him, I'm afraid Dennis would have been unable to control his emotions and burst out.

"Is this what you call an apology? That's your attitude? ”

Xi Qing sneered and said word by word: "I'm sorry, I don't accept it!" I don't think my compatriots behind me will accept it, the negotiations between us broke down, and my decision is to withdraw from this auction! ”

Xi Qing's words were like pouring a bucket of ice water on Dennis's head, which made him sober up instantly, and he realized at this time that the young man in front of him could be regarded as a nobleman in China, and it was not something he could rub at will, the attitude he just spoke, or he really made a mistake.

"Yes, without serious apologies, we will all withdraw from this auction......"

"They are clearly insincere, gone, gone, wasted time and ran away......"

"Let's go, there will be an auction in Xiangjiang next month, let's go there, why don't you have to be here, you have to have this disrespectful attitude......

The sounds around him made Dennis's face even more ugly, he didn't expect that Xi Qing would have such an influence, and his decision would affect these rich Chinese who came to participate in the auction.

You know, before this auction, China's ZF also protested against this, but these Chinese billionaires still came to participate, if they withdrew from the auction because of Xi Qing, wouldn't it mean that the influence of this young man is greater than ZF? Oh my god, this guy is tough. (To be continued.) )
