Chapter 34: Yan's Auction
The next day, Yan Shengrong from the auction house called and said that he wanted Rong Yuan to sail to the company, negotiate a reserve price for those jades, and then formally sign a contract to entrust the auction.
At this time, Rong Yuanhang was shopping in the car 4S shop, wanting to sell a satisfactory car. But his jade artifacts involve hundreds of millions of dollars, and he doesn't want to be sloppy.
"Alright then, I'll rush over now. Trouble Brother Sheng Rong to wait for me. Rong Yuanhang said into the phone.
Yan Shengrong said with a smile: "You are a distinguished guest of our company, how can you be lazy, do you want me to send a car to pick you up?" ”
"You're laughing, it's too grand, I'll take it." Rong Yuanhang asked for the address of the auction company, and stopped a taxi to rush over.
……
Yan's Auction is a well-known auction company founded by Yan Wenli in Guangzhou, specializing in art appreciation, exhibition, trading and auction. In an office building called Golden Eagle International Building, it has an operating area of 4,600 square meters. The company is divided into several areas: office, exhibition hall, storage and café.
In the reception room, he finalized the contract with Yan Shengrong and others for those jade auction cooperation. Yan Shengrong also took Rong Yuanhang to visit the exhibition hall, where the collection of items is very miscellaneous and the types are very wide. There are calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, bronze, jade and so on.
"How? Many of these are modern handicrafts and are not of high value. You're my uncle's valued guest, and you're a neighbor, so you're one of your own. I'll take you to the storeroom to see the real boutique. Yan Shengrong was well-dressed, young and handsome, with a bit of sunshine in his smile.
Rong Yuanhang smiled: "Then thank you, Brother Sheng Rong, your auction house is quite big, it should be very powerful, right?" ”
"Strength...... We don't rely on blowing, but our company has more than 3,000 members alone. Yan Shengrong said as he led him to a quiet corridor, called a beautiful employee of the company, and opened one of the secondary warehouses with the key he carried.
An indescribable smell of obsolescence came to my face, and I saw that there were old objects such as porcelain, bronze ware, and mahogany furniture. What attracted Rong Yuanhang's attention was that there were a lot of old mahogany furniture here. This type of furniture and wood pieces, in the eyes of Rong Yuanhang, abound in the otherworldly Xianyang City, and there are more varieties and shapes there.
"You seem to be interested in these antique furniture, huh?"
Rong Yuanhang smiled modestly: "I don't understand this," he stroked a chair and said, "How much does this chair cost?" ”
Yan Shengrong replied with a smile: "This is a circle chair, it is imitation Ming-style furniture during the Republic of China, we are friends, I won't come to vain, my aunt and father personally went down to Dapu Village two years ago to collect it with 600,000 yuan." It is estimated that the lowest price of the current market value can be sold for more than 1.4 million yuan. ”
"Damn, can you still sell a broken chair for 1.4 million?" Rong Yuanhang asked in surprise. The structure of this chair is very simple, the handle is a curved piece of wood, and it is also the cushion of Teng Xi. Can this kind of thing be worth more than a million? He couldn't believe it.
Yan Shengrong said with a smile: "You don't know, this circle chair, judging from its craftsmanship, strictly follows the Ming style approach, you look at this interface...... Three-to-one, five-connected, very in place, riveting pliers craftsmanship is very exquisite. This kind of sickle sweep, its arc is very soft and natural, very smooth. Don't underestimate this cushion, this pepper-eyed mat drawer technique is now lost. Nowadays, there are generally many bamboo mats, and this is a real Teng mat. And, most importantly, the material used - real old pear blossom wood! Do you know how expensive pear blossom trees are now? What's even more rare is the old pear, if you don't believe it, it glows with amber light, and it feels very round to the touch, just like a baby's skin, very fleshy. ”
Rong Yuanhang listened to him and suddenly laughed stupidly.
"What are you laughing at?" Yan Shengrong asked puzzled.
"No, I just thought of something happy." Rong Yuanhang shook his head, because he suddenly realized that it was too easy for him to make money. Even if you don't have those jade artifacts worth more than 100 million yuan, you can move a chair back through the other world casually, and you can cash out a million or hundreds of thousands of flowers.
Like this so-called pear blossom wood, there are many furniture shops in Xianyang City! Not only is the shaping process better, but there are also a lot of really valuable wood. For example, sandalwood, mahogany, nanmu, wenge, ebony, birch, beech, boxwood, etc., those ordinary wood shops, the most expensive furniture is only a dozen taels of silver.
"You guy, it's really inexplicable."
Rong Yuanhang was in a good mood, and suddenly remembered the sale of the car, and said, "Brother Sheng Rong, the matter here is done." I'm going to buy a car, are you free? Help me with a reference? ”
Yan Shengrong readily agreed: "Okay, anyway, my task today is mainly you, a big customer, and there is nothing to do now, let's go shopping together." ”
……
Just do it, the two of them left the company and went downstairs. Yan Shengrong took his black BMW and ran with Rong Yuanhang to the city's largest car sales center.
On the way, Yan Shengrong asked, "What kind of car do you like?" ”
"Off-road vehicle," Rong Yuanhang thought for a while and said: "It's just Mercedes-Benz, low-key luxury has connotation." ”
"Damn, it's low-key!" Yan Shengrong turned his face to look at him, and said with a smile: "You kid is quite rich, I heard Xiaodan say that you used to buy crabs in the market?" I didn't expect this line of work to be quite profitable! ”
Yan Xiaodan knows herself like this? She didn't have the slightest impression of the meeting two years ago! Rong Yuanhang was resentful in his heart, and explained helplessly: "I only bought crabs for six or seven days. ”
"Hehe, what are you doing?" Yan Shengrong became curious and wanted to ask further.
"Well, I ...... I don't have a regular job, so I guess it's freelancing. ”
"Hey, I said that people asked you to act as an agent for those superb jades, you should be able to make a lot of money, right?"
"Brother Sheng Rong, I found you to be quite gossipy." Rong Yuanhang didn't want to always weave lies, so he had to stop him from asking. Yan Shengrong snorted, "Okay, don't ask, don't ask." ”
There was silence in the car for a while, Yan Shengrong turned on the stereo and played the melody of Youyang. Rong Yuanhang was a little afraid of being cold, and suddenly remembered something and asked, "Brother Sheng Rong, if I can get the kind of chair I just had, can you help me sell it?" ”
"No, do you think that kind of chair can be casually had?" Yan Shengrong persuaded: "Yuanhang, you can spend money to invest in these things, this line of work is deep, don't make a bloody return when the time comes!" ”
Rong Yuanhang's heart warmed, and he smiled slightly: "It's okay, didn't I say what if?" ”
Yan Shengrong thought for a while and said, "If you can really get it, you may not be able to sell it to protect your capital." However, it is certain that it can be sold, and we have a wood red exhibition and auction every schedule, so please note: it is an auction with no reserve price! Sometimes you may lose money, but you can rest assured, most of them can still protect their capital or make money. ”
"That's good. Brother Sheng Rong, I'll get a few chairs and you can help palm your eyes. ”
"That's no problem, but you must be cautious about investing, if you can't see it, you can call me."
"Hehe, thank you in advance. But I don't think so. Rong Yuanhang thought to himself, do I still want to take you to Xianyang City for a walk? The Plane Gate is his greatest secret, and it is impossible for anyone to tell him without need.
After a while, Rong Yuanhang asked cautiously, "Brother Sheng Rong." ”
"Huh?"
"This ...... Ahem, did you say Xiaodan has a boyfriend? Rong Yuanhang mustered up a lot of courage to ask this question.
Yan Wenli glanced at him in surprise: "Hehe, you kid, you don't want to chase our Xiaodan, right?" ”
"Hey, hey." Rong Yuanhang smiled embarrassedly, and did not deny it.
"You see that although she is shy and easy to be shy, she has a very high vision for choosing a mate! I don't know if she has a boyfriend, so I'll ask for you? Yan Wenli said as he grabbed his mobile phone to dial the phone number......
"Don't, don't, don't!" Rong Yuanhang was sweating greatly, and hurriedly held him down: "Brother Sheng Rong, aren't you hurting me, so can you call her now and ask her directly?" ”
Yan Shengrong raised his head and laughed, and only stopped for a while before he said with a smile: "Look at your kid who is nervous, tease you." Let me tell you, she doesn't have a boyfriend yet, but ...... You, hey, hey, enough to choke! But you're nice, I like it, and I've got your back! Come on! ”
"Thank you, Brother Sheng Rong." Rong Yuanhang grinned happily.
……
The two talked and laughed, and half an hour later, they drove to the car 4S shop.
Seeing that the customer showed his intention to buy, the sales guy showed enthusiasm, and he didn't stop with a mouth. Rong Yuanhang followed and tried the car twice, and finally took a fancy to a Mercedes-Benz M-class ML4004MATIC. This Mercedes SUV is last year's model, with a tough shape and sleek lines. The interior of the car is chrome, solid wood and light color interior, which looks mediocre and plain, which makes people feel very comfortable. It is powered by a V6 engine with direct fuel injection technology, with a maximum power of 245 kilowatts, and accelerates to 100 km/h in just seven seconds.
The price of a naked car is one million yuan. With the addition of purchase tax, compulsory traffic insurance, commercial insurance, etc., the total price is more than 1.1 million yuan. This price is not the slightest pressure on the current Rong Yuanhang. Not to mention that he still has 34 million deposits on his bank card and jade worth more than 200 million. Perhaps the value of carrying a Huanghuali chair from another city is more than that of this Mercedes-Benz.
So Rong Yuanhang paid the full amount very easily, and Yan Shengrong was puzzled.
The car needs to go through various procedures, and it takes three days to pick up the goods, although it is itching, but I have to wait.
"Brother Sheng Rong, let's go, I'll invite you to dinner!" Rong Yuanhang put his hand on his shoulder and said.
Yan Shengrong said: "Let's talk about eating slowly, work is important, just now a buddy said that there are goods in Yanshan, and he wants me to take a look and give an appraisal." If you are interested, let's go together, it is the countryside, and by the way, I will take you to appreciate the flavor of farm food. ”
Rong Yuanhang thought about it and nodded and said, "Okay, anyway, I don't have anything to do, just get to know Brother Sheng Rong for a long time." ”
