For a whole morning, Hu Yang's good mood was ruined by the little white wolf.

When he arrived at the ranch and brushed some of the horses with Adelaide, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning.

At this moment, a black Mercedes-Benz car came quickly from a distance.

After a short time, the Mercedes Benz stopped at the edge of the ranch, and three people came out one after the other.

Hu Yang only knew one of these three people, and that was Alice.

"This is my boss, the consignor of this auction, Mr. Hu Yang!" Under the guidance of Alice, the three of them came to Hu Yang's approach and introduced.

These two foreigners are not very old, about thirty-five or sixteen years old, wearing a black suit and a briefcase, looking very gentlemanly.

Just as Alice was about to introduce the other party to Hu Yang, one of the foreigners took the lead and stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Hu, I am the representative of Bonhams Auction House, Gale. This is my colleague, Joyce! ”

Hu Yang shook hands with the two of them separately, and then let them into the wooden house.

As soon as he sat down, Gail opened the briefcase, took out a thick pile of materials, and said: "Mr. Hu, this is information about our auction house, you can take a look at it first, if you don't understand something, you can ask me at any time." My colleagues and I would be happy to answer your questions! ”

Hu Yang politely said 'thank you', picked up the file, and looked at it carefully.

Regarding the introduction of Bonhams Auction House, Hu Yang had already read it yesterday, but it was not as detailed as the current information.

After a few minutes, Hu Yang put down the information, nodded and said: "I have no doubts about your company's strength and integrity, now we can get down to business!" ”

"Very good, I heard that Mr. Hu is very refreshing, as soon as we meet today, it is indeed the case!" Gail said appreciatively as he put the information away.

At this moment, the colleague next to Gail, a foreigner named Joyce, spoke: "Mr. Hu, before we get into the main topic, I want to confirm one thing! ”

"Oh? Just ask! Hu Yang was stunned for a moment, but immediately nodded in agreement.

"As for the ancient sword you want to auction, where did it come from? Is there any proof of this? Joyce said with a serious expression.

"This ...... I'm sorry, I can't answer this question, because the pickup is my uncle's relic, and as for the proof and provenance, I can't answer! Hu Yang had been prepared for this for a long time, and when the other party just asked, Hu Yang threw the question directly to the mysterious uncle without blushing or beating his heart.

Obedient Hu Yang's prevaricated answer did not surprise Joyce and Gail. Because before that, when they came into contact with Alice, they already knew that it was the answer.

The two of them glanced at each other, and Joyce continued: "Mr. Hu, how much do you know about this ancient sword?" ”

"I don't know, I only know that it is a product of the period of Edward the Great, as for the other ......" Hu Yang shrugged, his expression was not clear.

Joyce nodded, and said without sadness or joy: "Actually, to be precise, this ancient sword is a cultural relic from the period of Edward I of Saxon Law more than a thousand years ago. Its first owner was the most famous military strategist of the time, Edward the Great. Later, in the war with Denmark, Edward the Great gave his slave a sword with his manship......"

Joyce, this guy, is definitely a typical history buff, and when talking about the origin of this ancient sword, he even told almost all the history of Britain at the beginning.

This made Hu Yang and Alice a little drowsy when they listened, and at the same time, they had to helplessly show seriousness.

This 'speech' lasted for more than an hour before it was completely over.

"Mr. Hu, this ancient sword not only has very great commemorative significance, but also the only and most well-preserved cultural relics of all the Saxon Dynasty unearthed!" In the end, Joyce did not forget to make a summary.

Hu Yang smiled, he didn't expect this inconspicuous broken sword to have such a big background. But at this time, what he was most concerned about was how much the sword could sell for.

"Mr. Gail, I wonder how much this sword will sell for?" Hu Yang groaned for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

"Mr. Hu, I like you directly, but we can't judge the exact price of this sword. But in my experience, if you make a bold estimate, the final auction price is likely to be no less than $30 million! Gail smiled indifferently and said softly.

However, when Hu Yang heard the words '30 million US dollars', his face instantly turned pale. He never dreamed that such a rusty sword would be worth such a high price.

If he had known that, he would have followed Quake to the forest to take a risk. In the end, not only did he almost lose his life, but even the so-called underground treasure became a few useless crocodile eggs.

"Mr. Hu, in fact, 30 million is not necessarily accurate, I just made an estimate based on experience, maybe there will be a surprise in the final transaction price!" When Gail saw Hu Yang's expression, he didn't know what this Chinese man was thinking. even thought that his valuation was too low, which made Hu Yang a little unacceptable.

After a long time, Hu Yang calmed down his excitement, changed his face to that indifferent smile again, and said softly: "Mr. Gail, don't get me wrong, I am very satisfied with this estimate." ”

Hearing this, Gail and Joyce couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Hu, if you don't have any objections, I want to finalize the issue of the auction of the ancient sword today. I am sure that if you hand over this Edwardian sword to our Bonhams auction house, you will definitely get a satisfactory result! Gail said while the iron was hot.

In fact, with the prestige and reputation of Bonhams Auction House, there is no need to be so condescending to any consignor. If you have any artifacts you want to auction, go directly to the local auction house and pass the artifact appraisal, and you're good to go.

But Hu Yang's ancient sword is different, as mentioned above, few of the unearthed cultural relics of the Saxon Dynasty are intact, not to mention that this is still an ancient royal sword.

If the ancient sword were to be auctioned by Bonhams Auction House, they would have made more than just money. With the successful sale of this Edwardian sword, Bonhams will not only break the all-time record, but also increase its reputation and prestige.

Therefore, Bonhams sent Gale and Joyce, and asked them to sign an agreement with the owner of the ancient sword, that is, Hu Yang, no matter what method they used, so that Bonhams would be fully responsible for the auction of the ancient sword.

Hu Yang expected this, and before that, Alice also said something about it. Especially when he heard that the origin of this ancient sword was really not small, Hu Yang's heart was even more confident.

"I beg your pardon, Mr. Gale. As the owner of this ancient sword, I have the right to fight for greater benefits for myself, and I also hope that your company can come up with an attitude that satisfies me. I believe that no matter what auction house this sword ends up with, the sincerity they give it should not be worse than your company! Hu Yang waved his hand and said with a smile.

Suddenly, Gail and Joyce frowned slightly, glanced at each other, and Gail was the first to say: "I don't know what kind of attitude Mr. Hu wants us to give?" ”

"It depends on the sincerity of your company, if you really want to get the auction rights of this ancient sword, I don't think you will do anything that disappoints me!" Hu Yang said noncommittally.

For Hu Yang's sudden appearance, Gail and Joyce were a little surprised.

They didn't expect that this Chinese person, who seemed to be quite honest and had always spoken kindly, would be so difficult.

For a while, they ran out of ideas.

"Mr. Hu, if you don't mind, I need to call the company and report your request to my superiors!" The two discussed it, and Gail said helplessly.

"No problem, but better hurry, because my ranch is busy!" Hu Yang shrugged his shoulders and did not refuse.

"I won't delay you for too long!" With that, Gale got up and pulled out his phone and walked with his colleague towards the outside of the cabin.

When the figures of the two people disappeared from the door, Hu Yang smiled slightly, turned his head and said to Alice beside him: "How is it, you did a good job just now, right?" But I always absolutely, this kind of sitting on the ground and starting the price, the lion's mouth is really a bit immoral! ”

"Boss, I hope you can understand that we are businessmen and we have the right to fight for the greater good for ourselves. What's more, we didn't sit on the ground and raise the price, we just wanted them to give a sincerity! Hearing this, Alice said expressionlessly.

In fact, those words just now were all asked by Alice to be done by Hu Yang. As she herself said, in this matter, Hu Yang has the right to fight for greater benefits for herself, otherwise she will only cheapen those people in the auction house for nothing.

Hu Yang nodded suddenly, although he felt a little unhappy in his heart, but who didn't want to make more money, especially when the ranch needed more funds.

It didn't take long for Gail and Joyce to return, and their faces were all smiling with ease. Obviously, they got a satisfactory answer through communication with the company.

"Mr. Hu, the company has no objection to your request. If you give us this Edward's ancient sword to auction, not only can we reduce the commission to 8%, but we will also give more attention to the promotion of the ancient sword, ensuring that more people will see it! ”

"Publicity is your auction house's business, and it is also your obligation, and I have no statement on this. As for reducing the commission to 8%, is that all your company's sincerity is? Hu Yang frowned slightly, and questioned with some dissatisfaction.
