Chapter 188: Auction
readx;??? Doubao is over, but Wu Di's busyness has just begun, because tomorrow is the special auction of Blue Dream Jewelry, and the two little girls Wen Wei and Meng Yao are also going to the examination room, and the CPA exam has begun!
Wu Di cleaned up the kitchen, and in Meng Yao's disdainful eyes, he hid in Wen Li's room, holding his tender little hand, looking at the red fluttering and somewhat shy face, this guy began to struggle, do you say I secretly took a bite...... Or is it better to pounce on it and nibble on it?
The phone rang at an inopportune time, and he pretended not to hear the sharp high voice of "Live for You", and was cheeky and ready to take action, Wen Wei smiled and pushed him away,
"Answer the phone! Busy man! ā
"Am I blind? God, I'd rather be blind than see that name! ā
It was Zhong Qi who called, Wu Di didn't have to think about it to know that it was an auction, yes, the ambiguous atmosphere that he had finally cultivated was shocked by him, Zhong Laosi! I...... Can I reason with him, this auction is from beginning to end!
Wu Di picked up the phone a little weakly, and before he could say a word, Zhong Qi's loud voice came out,
"I said Young Master Wu? Uncle Wu? Dare to love that this auction will be all about me? You kid didn't fucking ask a word from start to finish! ā
"Oh, this ...... Fourth brother, isn't this busy? ā
Wu Di was scolded and had to accompany the smiling face. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although Wen Wei couldn't hear clearly, he couldn't help but be a little angry when he saw Wu Di's expression and knew that he was being trained again. How does this family feel inferior to outsiders? If you don't help Adi, why do you keep bullying him? Adi is really, so soft...... Suddenly remembered the story of Wu Di bravely fighting the wolf and rescuing her from the tiger's mouth described to her by Meng Yao, my heart was sweet, and my eyes when I looked at Wu Di couldn't help but warm a lot, brave as a tiger to the enemy, gentle as a soft as a family member, a good man! It would be even better if there was a stable job...... He likes gambling stones so much, can he ask Meng Yao to arrange him to Blue Dream Jewelry?
In the conference room of Donghuan International's Blue Dream Company, Zhong Qi, Hu Zili, Shao Yanan and a middle-aged man were in a meeting, and Wu Di hurriedly broke in.
"Excuse me! Excuse me! Traffic! ā
Zhong Qi rolled his eyes, and even Shao Yanan couldn't help laughing and said:
"Boss, it's half past eight in the evening, okay?"
"Hey, get used to it, get used to it, don't all the people in this capital like to use this as an excuse? Brother Wang, you're here too. ā
Wu Di hurriedly changed the topic and greeted the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man with a square face, thick eyebrows, and a well-dressed person was named Wang Wanfang, and he was the general manager of Zhongqi Auction Company.
"Hehe, five young is good. I took a look at the lot you offered, and I was amazed! Don't say I don't dare to show it to my wife, even I can't wait to become a woman, grab two pieces from his mother to wear them! ā
"Go, if you become a woman, you can't get married! Now that the sycophant time is over, which of you will give us Uncle Wu a brief introduction to the preparations for the auction? ā
Zhong Qi was still a little angry, but he didn't continue to trouble Wu Di again.
Wang Wanfang scratched his head, glanced at a few people, and said with a smile:
"Let's keep coming with me, a sycophant!"
He turned on his computer, looked at the projection in the conference room and began to introduce:
"As of the end of registration on the 26th, a total of 2,324 applications for registration for the auction have been received......"
Wu Di gasped,
"Wait, how many people are in an auction? Can so many people control the scene? ā
Zhong Qi couldn't help but scold:
"You kid only now know that there are a lot of people! Lao Tzu's hair has turned gray for the past two days because of this, you see! A white hair, you're ready to pay me a piece of jewelry......"
Wu Di looked at the short black hair on his head, and laughed dryly. Immediately, his eyes lit up, shouldn't this kid dye his hair for his jewelry?
"That's the biggest problem we're facing right now. Later, after negotiation, the company urgently issued a notice to raise the threshold for participating in the auction, except for senior VIP customers, all others must pay 10 million US dollars, or 80 million yuan of the deposit to get the admission ticket, which offended many people! ā
"Lao Tzu has been pointed at his nose and scolded every day for the past two days, and he says that I, Zhong Laosi, is crazy about money!"
Zhong Qi interjected indignantly.
"That's it, there are still 435 customers, but it's barely manageable. In the past few days, the complaint letters received by the customer service department are like snowflakes, which can bury people alive! I didn't expect this international reputation to start, but the domestic reputation ......"
"Lao Wang, every time the company has an auction of antiques and jewelry in the future, you will go to this kid and ask him to provide the finale lot, he has a lot of good things!"
Zhong Qi came up with a bad idea on the side.
"There are 17 lots in the auction, we don't have any promotional materials, and each customer has only a few pictures of the green light outfit so far, and there is no preview of the lots. It can be said that this auction has been innovative in many aspects, and of course it has also taken huge risks. However, judging from the feedback received so far, the effect is still good. The auctioneer is specially hired Mr. William Smith, a famous auctioneer with the title of the King of White Glove, who has set a record of 16 consecutive "white glove" auctions in cross-field auctions including foreign wine, antiques, and real estate. ā
Seeing that Wu Di was a little confused, Hu Zili interjected:
"Being awarded a white glove is the highest honor an auctioneer can receive, and it means that a special auction has a 100% sell-through rate, which represents the highest recognition of the auctioneer."
Wu Di nodded, and said another sentence to find a scolding:
"You guys arranged it very well, I'll just wait and count the money then!"
"You little bunny! Lao Tzu is tired and tired, dare to love you just wait to count the money? Mr. Wang, you can communicate with Mr. Hu in detail about the handling fee later, I decided not to be free......"
Mr. Wang laughed twice, and then introduced:
"The order of the lot is as follows......
"Don't be busy, let's put these aside for a while, and show this kid a few things to focus on."
"Oh, okay. There are three A-level key targets, Edvina, a wealthy man from Germany, who shouted $50 million at the Milan jewelry show, and the other two are her nemesis, Emily Jones of the United States, known as a billionaire. The last one is Nina Ivanova, the wife of the Russian oil tycoon Ivanov, whose own family is also a mining tycoon. The three men once raised a Gucci antique bag to a sky-high multi-million dollar price at an auction in Milan! Since then, there have been several auctions, and the items have invariably sold for more than five times their original value! In addition, it is possible that the ...... from the Arab countries will emerge"
"That's what we're worried about. The reputation of these three people at the auction is too stinky, and the timing of this time is just before the exhibition of Lu Zigang's gods, so they are all some well-known and wealthy people. But according to the records, not many of these rich people are interested in jewelry, and the reason why they signed up is that I am afraid that they just want to have fun and see the ugliness of the three girls! Of course, there is also the possibility that the relatives who accompanied them wanted to see ......"
Hu Zili spoke.
Wu Di pondered for a moment and said:
"I don't think it's a big problem, first, with so many audiences, will the three girls fight harder? Second, even if only 1 in 10 people are willing to buy, the prices of these lots will not be too different from the normal market price, and we should not expect too much extra profit, after all, this auction also has the purpose of making a reputation......"
"That's how I think about the order of the venue......
Several people discussed until late at night, and then left full of exhaustion and excitement, and the contradictory feeling made them, the veteran of the battle, feel tired and exhausted.
It's already a little cold in the capital in November, but fortunately it hasn't rained, so the temperature is pretty good. The auction was held in a rented auditorium, and the main thing was that there were too many people for the auction hall of Zhongqi Company to fit at all. There are more than 400 tickets in total, but each ticket can put three people in, because most of everyone will bring consultants and bodyguards, you can't let these billionaires go into battle shirtless in person, shouting and fighting, right?
Wu Di hurriedly nibbled on two bites of breakfast, sent the two girls to the examination room, and then drove straight to the auction venue.
The auction hall is large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, so the seating row is relatively sparse. The auction started at nine o'clock, and it was just half past eight, and the people were basically already there. However, most of them were not in the seats, so the hall behind the seats was crowded and lively, as if thousands of ducks had just been driven back to the cage, and the noise made by the language of the Eight-Nation Alliance was not slightly worse than the opening of the Ruili Public Plate!
Wu Di knew that the international people who participated in the auction this time accounted for a little more than 80 percent, and at this moment, it was indeed full of foreigners. It seems that there is no way to use this auction in dollars, and it is estimated that the business of Zhongqi Auction Company will really be affected a lot afterwards.
He also noticed a detail, most of the people present were young people, that is, their worries yesterday became a fact, those rich people were really not so boring, so although they signed up, they were all small characters, and it is very likely that more than half of the people here came to see the play! After all, the green light set has the potential to fetch sky-high prices, and it is impossible for the three famous crazy women to be absent 99.9 percent! Before visiting the masterpiece, watch a human farce, and everyone must not have much resistance.
At nine o'clock sharp, the auction started on time.
William Smith, dressed in a standard auctioneer's attire, with a handsome face and a charming smile, won a full house with his first opening sentence:
"Dear ladies and gentlemen, you may not be used to participating in auctions without private rooms, right? However, I'm sure that the auction will make you forget about it soon! (To be continued.) )
