Chapter 155, Master Appraisal
Hai Baichuan is not the kind of person who likes to value others casually, and to be valued by him, he also needs to have certain qualifications. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
For example, Lin Yi in front of him. It stands to reason that Lin Yi basically didn't do anything, but spent 100 Hong Kong dollars to buy a silver spoon, but what wrapped the silver spoon was an old newspaper, and this old newspaper was a 46-year-old red newspaper --- the inaugural issue of "People's Daily". That's not all, Lin Yi knows everything about this kind of newspaper's collection, and then ...... Dafa.
It turned out that this broken newspaper could be sold for 30,000 Hong Kong dollars.
According to Hai Baichuan's identity and status, of course, he would not take these 30,000 yuan in his eyes, but one hundred yuan earned 30,000 yuan, and the profit of 300 yuan was enough to make Hai Baichuan look down on Lin Yi with admiration.
The reason is very simple, to see the big from the small, to see the small, to be able to create such a huge profit space with such a little capital, this is definitely a talent.
Imagine, what if Lin Yi invested 10,000 or 1 million at the beginning?
Many things are not afraid to investigate the cause, but are afraid to imagine the effect.
Obviously, Lin Yi's ability to pick up leaks with a small amount of super leverage has opened the eyes of Boss Haibaichuanhai.
Therefore, after Lin Yi successfully completed this leakage mission, Hai Baichuan's impression of him was further "profound", and he was more confident in his future plans.
Although Lin Yi didn't know what the door was here, he knew very well that Boss Hai would not come to pick him up in person for no reason, let alone bring himself to this antique street to Taobao for no reason, and of course, he would not invite himself to visit his auction company for no reason......
He didn't know what was in this, and he didn't bother to know, because at the moment his stomach was hungry, and it was ugly to growl, so that after Hai Baichuan heard it, he couldn't help laughing and said: "It's like this to go around here, time flies, it's noon in the blink of an eye, don't say much, I'm the east, and let Lin Sheng have a good taste of our Hong Kong snacks." ”
Some eat, better than anything.
For food, Lin Yi has never been immune.
……
Life in the world, eat and drink.
What's more, Hong Kong has always been known as the "City of Gastronomy".
At noon, you can go to a tea restaurant to taste the authentic Hong Kong-style siu-mei rice, or you like Hong Kong-style wonton, or claypot rice, even Southeast Asian-style coconut milk curry is not difficult to find in Hong Kong. When you're done eating, you'll find dessert shops all over Hong Kong waiting for you in the afternoon, with desserts such as mango pancakes, sesame paste tofu flowers, and coconut milk bean cakes.
If you're not interested in traditional Hong Kong cuisine, you won't be disappointed in Hong Kong, a place where culture and cuisine meet, French cuisine, Japanese cuisine, Korean barbecue, and even Mediterranean, Nepalese, Vietnamese, Spanish, Argentinian, Portuguese, Russian, Australian, Indian, Cuban, American and other cuisines that are rarely found elsewhere.
I have to say that the boss of Hai Baichuan Hai is a very responsible host, at least Lin Yi, accompanied by him, took a ride all the way, and almost ate all the famous delicacies in Hong Kong, so that even Lin Yi doubted whether he had become the legendary "foodie".
Eating and drinking enough, with a round belly of rolling melons, Lin Yi has the taste of a rich idler. I can't help but sigh that Hong Kong didn't come in vain, just Chong's fragrant and delicious "peeing cow balls" is worth a second trip.
After eating that beef ball, people can't help but think of Xingye, Hong Kong movies, and Hong Kong's food culture.
Just when Lin Yi touched his stomach and sighed with emotion, he heard Boss Hai Baichuan Hai say: "It's not too early...... Well, just go straight to the auction house. How's that, Lin Sheng? ”
Although the last sentence was to ask Lin Yi, Boss Hai had already stepped on the accelerator, hit the steering wheel, and went all the way towards the "New Century Auction Company".
……
Hong Kong, due to its geographical location and international status, has always been a large dock for many auction companies.
It is reported that in Hong Kong, a small land, there are nearly 100 auction companies of various sizes.
So much so that Hong Kong people use this to describe the relationship between major auction companies--- "big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, and shrimp eat mud." ”
In other words, many small auction companies are actually the "rudders" of many large auction companies, and without these big backers, you don't even have to eat "mud". The fundamental reason why these large companies want to establish a "split rudder" is that they want to monopolize the auction market and take all the big and the small. However, too small an auction is easy to affect the company's image of only taking on "big work", and the "rudder" of a smaller one came into being.
In contrast, the "New Century" auction company under Haibaichuan is actually attached to a large auction company, that is, the famous "Christie's auction house".
When it comes to Christie's, everyone knows it, but few people know that the newly rising new century is actually a rudder of Christie's.
However, just as many things have both positive and negative sides, New Century Auction Company is also deeply bound and elbowed by Christie's behind the support and help of Christie's.
As the "helmsman" of the new century, Hai Baichuan can be regarded as a love-hate relationship with Christie's, if it was said that he loved a little more at the beginning, then as the new century continued to grow, he was always suppressed by Christie's intentionally or unintentionally, and this hatred immediately became more.
Of course, these company secrets will not be easily told to others, let alone Lin Yi, a descendant.
Therefore, when Lin Yi followed Hai Baichuan to Pacific Place in Queensway, he got out of the car, raised his head and saw the majestic auction building, and couldn't help but praise Hai Baichuan: "I didn't expect Mr. Hai's auction company to be so magnificent and magnificent, which makes people marvel at a glance, and only a big boss like you can have such courage." ”
Hai Baichuan looked at him with a strange face, coughed and said: "This is not my company, this is Sotheby's auction house, mine is in front, because the road is not easy to walk, so I parked the car here......"
Lin Yi: "......"
For the first time in his life, he patted himself on the back, but he returned home.
Sotheby's?
Hong Kong's leading auction company, known as the "Tsar" of the auction industry, I didn't expect to be here at Pacific Place, look at the signboard, dizzy, it's really true.
Lin Yi couldn't help but take a look at this majestic high-rise building, and secretly said that it was a pity, because there was something, he couldn't go in to visit.
As if he saw Lin Yi's thoughts, Hai Baichuan said casually: "An auction house like Sotheby's needs an invitation letter if you want to enter......
The words are obviously not finished, and the back should be "The person who can be invited is at least a person with status and status, and no matter how bad the passbook number is, there must be eight zero......s behind it."
Seeing this, Lin Yi said very interestingly: "I think let's go to your company first, it's not early." ”
……
The New Century Auction House is also near Pacific Place, and if it weren't for his preconceived notions, Lin Yi would have been shocked by the sheer size of the auction house if he had seen Sotheby's first.
Now that it is really the new century, Lin Yi's shock is ...... It's basically gone, at least when Hai Baichuan quietly observed Lin Yi, he didn't find any reaction from him.
If you think about it, you will understand, first look at the Forbidden City, and then look at the Old Summer Palace, and that contrast will come out.
Of course, Lin Yi is not a fool, the scene still has to be said, otherwise I'm sorry for people to invite me to eat so much delicious food, so "your company is huge", "gorgeously decorated", "unforgettable at a glance"......
Hai Baichuan also let him, anyway, good words are better than ordinary words.
To be honest, Lin Yi's words were not exaggerated.
The entire New Century Company is divided into three floors, with a total area of about 3,000 square meters. In terms of business area alone, this is already a big deal in the Pacific Place business district, where every inch of land is valuable.
The lower floor is a unified auction hall, which is as spacious as a church, with an auction table above, chairs below, a lounge, and a corporate culture exhibition area...... Most of them are the company's brilliant results in previous auctions, as well as group photos of President Mr. Hai Baichuan and many celebrities.
The middle floor is the office area of the auction company, which is almost the same as the office area of a normal office building. Isolation rooms, computers, desks and chairs, photocopiers, pantry, and all kinds of dense file boxes---
Hai Baichuan took Lin Yi to take a casual look, then sorted out his face, and said, "Actually, I came to you this time to discuss something important with you, and I will introduce you to someone to ...... first" As he spoke, he walked towards an office with Lin Yi.
As soon as he arrived at the door, someone behind him stopped Hai Baichuan, it turned out that he was looking for something.
Helpless, Hai Baichuan said to Lin Yi: "Lin Sheng, why don't you go in first, just say that I introduced it, I have something to do here, I'll come to you when I'm done." With that, he left in a hurry.
Watching Hai Baichuan leave, Lin Yi was a little confused, since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't think about it, so he came to the front of the office, and then solemnly stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.
Suddenly, someone inside shouted: "e---in (please come in)!" ”
Lin Yi pushed open the door and walked in.
I saw a bald man in a suit and a bow tie around his neck busy at his desk, sorting out materials and answering the phone. When I saw him come in, I pointed to the sofa and asked him to sit down first.
Lin Yi was not polite, sat on the sand, and then began to look around.
There are bookshelves in the room, which are stuffed with books, such as "Antique Appraisal Dictionary", "Calligraphy and Painting Appraisal", "Porcelain Appraisal", and "Jade Appraisal", etc., most of which are highly professional appraisal books.
It can be seen that this person must be very capable in identification, not to mention that there is a sign on his desk, which happens to say "Senior Appraiser, Mike Lee," and below the Chinese is a series of English letters, which seems very advanced and very high-grade. (To be continued.) )
