Chapter 96: The Auction House's Partisan Struggle
Add a more chapter for silent book friends! Thank you for your continued support!
Zhou Wenyan pondered: "The biggest possibility is to wait and see, the capital is a place where soldiers must fight, not only the big auctions with names and surnames, but also dozens of small auctions." Some rely on relationships, some rely on connections, in short, there is no fuel-efficient lamp! β
"This time, our leaders asked me to focus on Zhongzheng, after all, we have a good relationship, and it is also the first special report on my regularization. So we are comrades-in-arms, hello, I am better. β
Zhou Wenyan kept flattering Wu Tianyuan and Sun Yuyao, and the atmosphere became relaxed again.
"Zhongzheng's main opponent now is Xilin, everyone in the circle knows that this time you are entering the capital at the same time, and Zhou Jianyun will definitely suppress you! One is revenge, the other is to kill chickens and monkeys, Liwei! β
"Hmph, who's the chicken? It's not certain who the monkey is! With my brother here, none of us are afraid! β
Liu Meizi shouted while eating barbecue, she is a die-hard fan of Wu Tianyuan, and she supports everything.
"You're a little Japanese, your hair hasn't grown yet, what do you know?"
Liu Meizi looked at Zhou Wenyan's disdainful look and fought back: "You big-breasted girl, are you tired all day?" Still talk about me? β
The two guys stared at each other and chattered, neither of them convinced the other.
"Forget it, the soldiers are coming, no one is afraid if we have goods, Liu Meizi is right, is it a chicken or a monkey? Only then will we know! β
The company's affairs are handed over to Sun Yuyao and Lao Yu, Wu Tianyuan will start to run the relationship next, and the old man Ma Dingxiang will often contact him, who is a heavyweight and has a status in the circle.
There is also Zhang Xincheng, who is also a master, and is very influential. Bai Hua is still in the field, and he will come to visit when he comes back. Wang Dagang met, Zhai Jianmin was temporarily in Hong Kong, and he would gather together when he came back.
Niu Feng went abroad to do business, and he called and said that he would come back in a few days, and he was very happy to know that Wu Tianyuan finally came to the capital, and he could meet often in the future.
"You kid is right to come to the capital, this is the nest of antiques, a good thing!"
Ma Lao came to the Tianyuan Residence of Liulichang today, and said with a smile when he saw that the shelves were still empty: "Lao Tian, you have to work hard, so that your peers will laugh!" β
"It's easy for you to say, but it's not easy to even things between peers now! The good ones don't want to go out, and the bad ones don't get along, so why don't you find some? β
Lao Tian has been working hard recently, the store is poor and white, he knows that the boss has heavy weapons in his hands, but he opens the door to do business, not an exhibition, who can buy tens of millions of treasures?
"I asked someone to get back a batch of snuff bottles and jade from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China from Japan, sixty or seventy of them were topped first, this shop is also a faΓ§ade, Tian Lao doesn't need to worry, the time-honored brand on the street is not decades old, it is all boiled out!"
When Lao Tian heard this, he felt comfortable, smiled and went to make tea and chatted together.
"You kid is also a billionaire now, there is no shortage of money in your hands, and having a store is the right way. Speaking of which, there is also a guarantee, this circle pays attention to the old rules, learn more from Lao Tian if you have nothing to do, and don't be rude when you meet an expert. β
Wu Tianyuan humbly asked, although he has special abilities, but there are many rules in this industry, and there are etiquettes for peer exchanges, if you don't even understand this, others will definitely laugh.
"In the past, this was a place where the wind and clouds converged, and there were many dignitaries, royal relatives, and masters every day. Your shop is the former site of Zhao Ruzhen, who was the man of the year, and now the society is progressing, with auction houses and the Internet, the glaze factory is not as good as before, and has become a tourist attraction! β
Ma Lao sighed, he was a person who had experienced the last glory of the glaze factory, and he was embarrassed to know the scene at that time.
"Now except for Rong Bao Zhai, which can be regarded as the number one, the others are all selling the four treasures of the study, and there has long been no antique tycoon who was the dominant in the past, so you don't have to rush, take your time."
"Ma Lao, do you know anything about the Xilin Seal Society?"
Ma Lao took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I also heard that you Zhongzheng is going to fight with Xilin next, Zhou Jianyun is not an ordinary person, he is very scheming, and he also has connections. In the past few years, Xilin has developed and grown in his hands, and this is not to come to the capital to get a piece of the pie. β
"Their specialties are calligraphy and seals, which are so profound that even Jiade Baoli is ashamed of himself. Rong Bao Zhai and Duo Yu Xuan, one south and one north, are all century-old brands, many famous masters, especially modern masters. Back then, they all painted in the store and sold them directly at a clear price. β
"As for the four major auctions in China, Kuang's and Jiade are close, Yan Huaming of Hanhai and I have some origins, and behind Baoli is a military background and has a national background. As for Jiade ......"
Wu Tianyuan looked at Ma Lao's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and asked curiously.
"I'm just going to say it, you're done listening!"
Ma Lao said in a low voice: "A friend told me a rumor, I don't know if it's true or not. Jiade's Chen Dongsheng is not simple, he has the support of a big consortium behind him, and it seems that he is still from abroad! β
Wu Tianyuan was shocked, Jiade's boss is always a legend, born from the grassroots, self-made, more than 20 years not only founded Jiade, but also established two other large companies, assets of tens of billions, very mysterious.
"I'm also hearsay, but there must be a reason for the groundless, you should be more careful, the auction circle is very deep, you must be cautious!"
Ma Lao Zhengse reminded Wu Tianyuan that he didn't want the juniors he was very optimistic about to be in any danger, and people's hearts were sinister.
Wu Tianyuan nodded, knowing the severity, it was too early to say this, let's win the first battle first. Xilin's side seems to be eyeing the tiger, ready to count the new and old hatreds together. The Central Committee must make preparations as early as possible, and the first shot will be fired.
"Mr. Zhou, this time our celebrity letter special session is really a collection of high-quality products, including Mr. Zhang Daqian's letters to old friends, and Hu Shi's letters to Wang Yunwu, Qian Siliang, and Dong Zuobin. There are also many letters from Jiang Zhongzheng to Chen Lifu, which are of rare historical research value. β
Zhou Jianyun nodded with satisfaction and said: "In order to enter the capital for the first time, our Xilin is also full of strength, here are all old collections, there is no shortage of letters and family letters from the masters who appeared for the first time." There are more than 60 pieces in total, and I believe that collectors will be eager to buy them. β
"With all this, what bullshit is in the middle? Last time, Zhou Jie had no ability and lost the face of our Xilin Printing Society, this time he must get it back with interest! β
Zhou Jianyun waved his hand and said: "In public and private, we all have to win beautifully this time!" Zhongzheng is just a third-rate auction house, relying on hype to make a bit of a limelight, this time I want them to know the essence of the real big auction and get their face back! β
"Mr. Zhou, I inquired about the previews that are going to be held over there on the weekend, do you see?"
Zhou Jianyun said with a smile: "The weekend is a good day, let's join in the fun!" β
"Oh no, I just got the confirmed news, the preview of the celebrity letter of the Xilin Seal Society is also scheduled to be held this weekend, the VIP hall of the palace."
Lao Yu came back at a trott all the way to report the news, and said angrily: "Zhou Jianyun deliberately previewed the exhibition at the same time as us, so that collectors have no choice." β
"It's not like there's no choice! It's about squeezing us to death! β
Sun Yuyao scolded: "Xilin must have taken advantage of the relationship to invite the old customers from the past to join the party, there are so many collectors who like calligraphy, all of them went to his side, we are empty here?" β
Wu Tianyuan shook his head and said calmly: "Since my peers are so enthusiastic, it seems that the two days of the weekend must be a good day, don't worry, who will be empty at that time!" β
