In the first interview in his life, Jiang Yiming said two sentences, and then there was no more, he could only look at the back of the reporter and scold "grass", and then returned to the villa in an unhappy mood.

However, after seeing the Tian Huangshi seal next to the pillow, Jiang Yiming's mood suddenly improved. For him, who has no hobby of collecting, how can a seal be useful for real money, and he wants to give it to the auction house.

However, of course, such good things cannot be sold at a high price in Baisha City, and Jiang Yiming plans to go to the capital to find Poly Auction House or Guardian Auction House, which are the most famous antique auction houses in China.

Actually, go to the incense. Hong Kong is better, and it can be sold at a higher price, but it is very difficult for this seal to pass the customs, so you can only choose to sell it in China.

With the 50 million that is about to arrive, you can buy whatever you want when the time comes, and take a trip that you can just go, these are not a thing.

Jiang Yiming booked a ticket last night and is now heading towards Baisha Airport.

Sitting in the fast-moving taxi, looking at the fast-moving scenery outside the window, he suddenly felt the need to buy a car, otherwise every time he went out, he would have to use his mobile phone to place an order to find a car, which was particularly troublesome. As for the driver's license, I have long been fooled by the school into applying for a famous driving school, and I got my driver's license through gifts and tests.

It only took two and a half hours to fly from Baisha City to the capital, and before noon, Jiang Yiming got off the plane in the capital. The part of the road out of the airport was fine, but after entering the Fifth Ring Road, he finally felt how the "blockade" came about.

The journey from the airport to Poly Auction House takes as long as the time from Baisha City to the capital.

Jiang Yiming walked into the gorgeously decorated hall of Poly Auction House, the security guard at the door looked at him and didn't make any movements, and the good-looking front desk lady also served with a complete smile, smiling very brightly, and there was no scene of dogs looking down on people in the novel.

Following the path pointed by the front desk, Jiang Yiming came to a small living room and waited for the arrival of the jade appraiser. In this room, there are not only cola, beer, tea and coffee, but also more than a dozen colorful new magazines next to the sofa, which is still a good time to pass the time.

Don't be too happy to enjoy these little things, Jiang Yiming spent money, generally speaking, Poly will not accept low-end antiques, but if you insist on appraisal, you can also pay the appraisal fee.

Jiang Yiming did not introduce anyone, and took the road of paying money for appraisal. However, he believed that after Poly identified the seal of Tianhuangshi, he would definitely take the initiative to ask him to auction it, and of course he would not have to pay this money.

However, if the transaction is completed, the 10% transaction fee is unavoidable. There is one more important thing, if the antique is unsold, the auction house will also charge 5% of the estimated unsold fee, isn't it overbearing? So I don't have to thank the auction house for the time being.

After waiting for a while, an old man with half-white hair and a young man in his thirties walked in. The young man introduced himself as a manager, and the old man beside him was a jade appraiser, who was responsible for the appraisal of antiques in general.

Jiang Yiming took out the seal from the watch box that didn't fit and put it on the coffee table. This watch box was still found in the villa, and it didn't match the Tian Huangshi seal very well.

"Tian Huangshi seal, is it still such a big piece?"

Just by seeing it, he recognized the material of the seal, and the old appraiser's eyes shrank, and he said with a little surprise.

"Wow, Mr. Jiang's ancestors left something good! Tian Huangshi has recently been very hot in the collection market, and the transaction rate is very high. ”

The manager's expression also changed from professional politeness to a bosom friend, and he first said a few pleasant words to Jiang Yiming.

Then he looked at the appraiser with fiery eyes, and was very surprised by this pie that fell from the sky. I didn't expect an inconspicuous customer to send high-value cultural relics, and the commission that could be obtained was not a small number.

Of course, all this is based on the fact that the cultural relics are real, and if it is a fake parallel import, the commission will naturally be lost. In the thriving antique market now, nine fakes and one real are rare, and more are imitations and fakes.

The appraiser, wearing white gloves, took a magnifying glass and looked at it carefully, and after scanning and taking pictures with many machines, he came to the conclusion that it was genuine. Seeing that a sum of money was about to go into his pocket, the manager's face bloomed.

Jiang Yiming was also very happy, but the appraiser said that this Huangtian stone seal still needs to be appraised in the next step in order to accurately estimate its price.

The three appraisers worked hard for a long time before giving an estimate of 55 million, which was higher than Jiang Yiming's own estimate, and I heard that the words on the seal belonged to a famous Ming Dynasty official, and there was a lot of historical value and so on.

"Congratulations, Mr. Jiang, your Huangtian stone seal has been identified as genuine, and we estimate it at 55 million, are you planning to sell it? Poly Auction House is the most professional auction house in China, with many customers. The manager said excitedly.

Jiang Yiming nodded and said, "That's right, I want to sell it, but I think the transaction fee of 10% of the transaction price is too high, and I can't accept it." ”

In the end, Jiang Yiming only reduced the transaction fee to 9% of the transaction price, which only reduced Poly by one point. No way, who let others find so many billionaires to buy collections.

Jiang Yiming didn't want to wait for a year and a half, he just wanted to get the money as soon as possible: "When will my Huangtianshi seal be able to participate in the auction?" I want to get my money as quickly as possible. ”

"Mr. Jiang, your auction item is very valuable, and it will take two or three months to publicize it, so that you can get the highest price."

The manager explained very carefully. The higher the transaction price, the more fees the auction house charges, so naturally they don't want to send the collection to auction easily, and then lose money.

Two months later, Jiang Yiming was no longer short of the 50 million, because just selling a hundred years of ginseng would cost tens of millions. Two hundred-year-old ginseng can be harvested in three days, and twenty ginseng can be harvested in sixty days, and it can be sold for forty or fifty million in any way.

Therefore, Jiang Yiming shook his head and said, "No, I don't want to wait that long, is there an auction recently?" I heard that the autumn auction is starting, isn't it just right to send this seal up? ”

"But the autumn auction has already begun, and if you add it halfway, it won't sell for money." The manager's face tangled.

But he didn't want to let Jiang Yiming leave, he seemed to remember something and said: "Then we have another way, which is to mortgage this seal to our auction house, give you 30 million in advance, and pay the rest until the auction is successful." ”

"That's a good idea."

Jiang Yiming nodded and agreed to sign a contract with Poly on this condition. And he estimated that after deducting transaction fees and taxes from 55 million, there were only more than 40 million, and he had already got the lion's share, so he was relieved.

He waited until he found a lawyer to read the contract and said that there were no hidden pitfalls before he signed it. Such a large transaction contract, a loss will be a big deal, and you must not be careful.

By the time Jiang Yiming returned to Baisha City, the sky was already full of stars, and the moon had also come to the sky, and the time was actually night. However, he finally rushed back, and did not delay the collection and cultivation of the ancient tree spirit liquid.
