Chapter 300: The Birth of the Jade King (Part II)
"Xiaoyu, is that you?"
When he received Li Minyu's call, Yi Yang was a little excited.
After all, the other party is the kind of girl he likes, but it's a pity that Li Minyu has already told them very clearly before, saying that she already has someone she likes.
When he heard the news at that time, Yi Yang couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart, since Li Minyu had a crush, what else did he have that kind of idea, but of course, this did not affect the normal interaction between the two, and they could at least be good friends with each other.
"It's me, Brother Yi Yang." Li Minyu said on the phone, and her tone sounded very kind.
"What's the matter?" Yi Yang asked, the other party suddenly looked for him, there should be something.
I only heard Li Minyu reply: "Well, there is one thing I want to ask you." β
"What's the matter, you can tell me." Yi Yang responded.
Sure enough, the other party had something to look for him, but he didn't know what it was.
Li Minyu said: "Brother Yi Yang, that's the case, the news that you bet on that piece of jade has spread, not only in Pingzhou, but also on our side, and many people know about it." Just now, many acquaintances contacted us, and they had to ask us to ask them if you would sell that stone, and if so, the price would be negotiable, and you would never suffer a loss. Brother Yi Yang, do you consider taking the exam? If you don't think about it at all, then we'll quit it, lest they find you and embarrass you. β
"Do a lot of people ask?" Yi Yang did not answer the rhetorical question.
"Well, it's only been so long for someone to ask." Li Minyu replied.
Yi Yang asked, "Who are they, are you familiar with them?" β
Li Minyu said: "They are all people from the jade world, although there is one who is not very familiar with it, but I know it, some of them are big businessmen, some are big collectors, and they are basically very reliable, otherwise I wouldn't tell you." β
"yes, I know." Yi Yang replied, "I still believe the buyer you say. β
"Are you willing to think about it?" Li Minyu asked hurriedly.
Yi Yang said: "Yes, you can think about it. Xiaoyu, I'll tell you when I've thought about it, and then you can relay the news to those bosses. β
"yes, okay." Li Minyu agreed very obediently.
After the two chatted casually for a while, Li Minyu said goodbye and hung up the phone.
"Brother Yi Yang, what are you thinking?" When he put away his hand, Yi Yang fell into deep thought, and at this time, Bai Wenchao came over when he saw this and casually asked about the situation.
Yi Yang said: "I'm thinking about what to do with this piece of jadeite in my hand, and now there are so many big bosses to ask, the price should not be low." β
At that moment, he told Bai Wenchao what Li Minyu called him just now and said.
After listening, Bai Wenchao nodded and said, "It looks really good, and it can be sold at a good price." β
"Xiaochao, then you mean, you can really think about it?" Yi Yang asked.
"Well, you should think about it, after all, jadeite is different from antiques, unless it is a real collection, just for appreciation, then the appreciation space will not be very large, at least in a short period of time, it is difficult to increase the price much, and it may even reduce the price." Bai Wenchao nodded solemnly.
"Well, that's what I thought." Yi Yang muttered, "Since you have this in mind, why don't you just make it bigger?" β
"Make it bigger?" Bai Wenchao was puzzled, "How do you say this?" β
Yi Yang smiled and said, "I don't negotiate directly with any buyer, but hold an auction and transfer it in the form of an auction." Do you think that's better? β
"Holding an auction?!" Bai Wenchao's eyes lit up and said, "What a good idea!" Why didn't I think of going up here?! Brother Yi Yang, you are too smart, this method is really good, but I am afraid that there is a bit of a problem with the specific implementation, unless you send it to the auction company. β
Yi Yang shook his head and said, "Of course it won't be sent to the auction company." If it is sent directly to the auction company, it will not only cost a large amount of employment money, but also require a long wait, which is not cost-effective. β
"Well, yes." Bai Wenchao nodded and said, "That's what I think, so it's better not to send it to the auction company." β
"Don't send auctions, organize auctions yourself." Yi Yang nodded vigorously.
Bai Wenchao said: "If you sell something without cooperating with the auction company, it will be a private auction, will it be found by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the Taxation Bureau or something?" β
Yi Yang shook his head lightly and said, "You think too much, you won't." In our industry, private photography is very common, and there is nothing wrong with it. β
"Well, that's good." Hearing what Yi Yang said, Bai Wenchao was relieved.
Then he asked again: "Brother Yi Yang, where are you going to hold this auction?" Where is the right place to hold it? β
Yi Yang replied, "Just put it in a hotel." Xiaochao, you immediately go and contact a hotel for you, rent a box, a larger hotel, the box should be the largest, and then carefully arrange, to do the same as a regular auction venue. β
"No problem!" Bai Wenchao nodded without hesitation and agreed.
Then he went to book a hotel, and as soon as he walked away, Yi Yang took out his hand and made a phone call, which was naturally to Li Minyu.
"Brother Yi Yang, is there anything you are calling me now?" When she received a call from Yi Yang, Li Minyu was shocked and said that Yi Yang had said that she would call her back and reply to the matter of buying and selling the jade jade, but she didn't expect the call to come so quickly, so she was very surprised, thinking that Yi Yang had other things.
Yi Yang said with a smile: "Well, there is something about it, it is the thing we talked about before. β
"About someone wanting to buy your stone?" Li Minyu asked rhetorically.
"yes, that's it." Yi Yang replied.
Li Minyu said: "Have you already thought about it? Have you thought about that stone? Let it go out? β
Yi Yang said: "After thinking about it, I can let it out, but I don't sell it to any one of them." β
"Isn't it sold to any one of them?" Li Minyu was puzzled, "What do you mean?" Do you want to sell it to a lot of people? Is it afraid that anyone can't afford that price? β
Yi Yang said: "I don't mean that, I mean to say, I am not sure which buyer I want to sell to, because there are a lot of bosses to ask, so I don't plan to negotiate with any boss, otherwise it will be very unfair." β
"Did you choose the auction format?" Li Minyu asked.
"Yes, it's an auction." Yi Yang replied solemnly, "But the time and place have not yet been decided, so I will tell you when it is confirmed." β
"Well, okay, there's no need to rush." Li Minyu responded, "Since this is the case, if anyone asks, I will say that you are willing to consider it." β
"Yes." Yi Yang replied.
After the two chatted for a while, Yi Yang said goodbye and hung up the phone.
But it didn't take long for Li Minyu to call again and say, "Brother Yi Yang, just now a boss came over to ask, and I said that you agreed to let it out, and some of them said if you can take a look at the stone first." β
Yi Yang said: "Don't look at it now, when the auction venue is arranged, hold a one-day exhibition first, and auction it after the exhibition." β
"Got it, I'll get back to those bosses right away." Li Minyu responded well.
In the afternoon, Bai Wenchao brought good news, saying that the hotel was already optimistic and was one of the best hotels in the local area, and Yi Yang was very satisfied with this and quickly finalized the venue for the auction.
"Brother Yi Yang, what should I do next?" After deciding on the auction venue, Bai Wenchao asked, "When will you start to set up the venue, and how?" β
Yi Yang said: "Let's start the arrangement tomorrow, when the time comes, call Brother Jin and Xiaoyu over, ask them to help arrange together, and release the news when the layout is complete, first the exhibition will be held, and then the auction will be held." β
"Well, that's good." Bai Wenchao said, "Then I am also ready to prepare, and strive to decorate the venue well, so that the stone can be exhibited as much as possible." β
Yi Yang nodded and said, "The sooner the better, I'll call Xiaoyu and them right away, ask them to come over early tomorrow, and let's go to the hotel to set up the venue together." β
After finishing speaking, he made a phone call to Li Minyu to explain the relevant situation.
When they received Yi Yang's request, Li Minyu's brother and sister naturally didn't have any opinions, but readily agreed, it was undoubtedly an honor to be able to do something related to that huge jade for Yi Yang, how could they refuse.
In fact, the next day, Yi Yang and the others had just gotten up, and Li Minyu and Li Minjin rushed over to find them.
"Brother Yiyang, your stone is going to be auctioned, this is definitely exciting news for jade merchants and friends in the jade collecting world, and it can make people feel excited!" When he saw Yi Yang, Li Minjin said happily.
Yi Yang smiled: "I hope so." β
Li Minyu accosted: "Brother Yi Yang, as a seller, he hopes that there will be many buyers, and the competition is fierce, I think this time it will definitely attract a lot of big bosses, and the final transaction price of jadeite may be higher than we imagined." β
"Xiaoyu, thanks to your auspicious words, I hope there will be a good result." Yi Yang smiled happily and said, "Xiaoyu, Brother Jin, let's go to the hotel to see how to arrange this auction, and there will be a preview tomorrow." You are experts in the jade industry, you should think more than I thought, and I am sure that you will have a good opinion. β
Li Minyu said with a smile: "Let's do our best." β
After finishing speaking, they took action and drove together to the hotel that Bai Wenchao had already seen.
It didn't take long for them to come to the hotel, and Yi Yang was very satisfied with the box they had ordered, because the box was indeed large enough to hold an auction.
"Brother Yi Yang, this place is okay, right?" Bai Wenchao asked with a smile.
Yi Yang nodded and said, "Well, it's very good, it's okay." Xiaochao, you call the hotel first, and you have to discuss some things with him, after all, you need to add something, such as seats, and an auction table. β
"Well, I'm going to call it." Bai Wenchao nodded hurriedly and agreed, and after finishing speaking, he turned around and walked away, and went to call the manager of the hotel.
"Xiaoyu, Brother Jin, in your opinion, how should this venue be arranged?" Yi Yang suddenly asked Li Minyu and Li Minjin, who were standing aside.
Li Minyu replied: "Brother Yi Yang, this place is very good, it is best to use it for auctions, I have seen many auctions, and those regular companies are just like that." Hehe, it's just that your stone is so good, it will definitely attract a lot of viewers tomorrow, and the auction day will be even more crowded, I'm afraid that there are too many buyers, and it is not easy to accommodate. β
Yi Yang smiled bitterly: "Then there won't be so many buyers, I'm very happy to be able to fill the seats." β
"Brother Yiyang, I have a Jianyì, I don't know if you can adopt it?" At this moment, Li Minjin spoke.
