74. National treasure
In Ning's Auction House, because it is a new department, everyone hopes to be able to do something, so the momentum is still good.
After Ma Wanyun returned to the company with the ape-man skull, she immediately went to the general manager's office, intending to report this happy event.
As a result, as soon as I arrived at the door of the office, I saw the general manager sitting there with a not very good-looking face, and said to another person: "Mr. Huang, we said okay at the beginning, but you suddenly don't cooperate, so what about the posts and directories we sent?" "
"What to do is your business, what does it have to do with me?" Sitting across from the general manager was a pot-bellied man. He picked his nails, held a cigar in his mouth, and his face was full of nonchalance: "Say it again." If you agree to my terms, won't it be nothing? Don't say I didn't give it a chance, it's too late for you to say yes. "
Luo Yihai, the general manager, looked at the man, and his teeth of hatred were about to be crushed.
The man on the other side is a big man in the world of antique collecting. It's still a bit famous.
In order to ensure the smooth operation of the first auction and create a greater momentum, Luo Yihai tried all kinds of ways to acquire all kinds of antique cultural toys.
But I don't know if it's too bad luck, and I haven't been able to collect many good things. Otherwise, Ning Zhensheng would not have been overjoyed when he saw the two golden silk nan's gloomy wooden boxes.
So, Luo Yihai met this master of the collecting industry through the relationship of friends. After some conversations, the other party finally agreed to unite with friends in the collecting industry to jointly provide more than a dozen antique cultural relics for auction.
in this batch of antiques. Most of them are high-quality products, each worth more than one million, which can be regarded as a façade support.
Seeing that the auction was about to be held, this wrist suddenly came to the door and said that he did not plan to cooperate.
This can make Luo Yihai anxious enough. It's about to be auctioned, and you suddenly want to take something away, so what are we going to do?
The lot catalogue has been made into a post and sent to the target customer, if people come and find that there are no such things at all, don't you lie to people?
The first show deceived people, who will come to participate in the future?
It can be said that this is a trick to draw salary.
The wrist said again, "It's not impossible."
As long as Ning's Auction House buys this batch of things on the basis of the market appraisal price in advance, plus 30%, they are also willing to sell.
Luo Yihai understood as soon as he heard it, this is here to rip off the bamboo.
If there is only one piece, buy it.
But these dozen pieces, add up to tens of millions, and add up to 30% of the price?? You don't have to think about it to know that even if the report is handed to Ning Zhensheng, it will definitely not be approved. The biggest possibility is that he, the newly appointed general manager, will directly roll up and leave.
"Can you discuss it again? Thirty percent is too much?? You also know that our auction house has just been established, and it is not even profitable.
"I said it. That's all your business. The things are mine, if you buy them, you will pay for them, and if you don't buy them, I will leave. "
Luo Yi Hague was about to be crushed. I knew that such a thing would come, and I should have signed a contract in advance to stipulate that I would not be allowed to withdraw the lot temporarily, otherwise I would be punished with a large amount of liquidated damages.
Many formal auction houses have such contract content.
Ning's Auction House had just been established, and he was anxious to find someone else's help, and when this wrist man said that he wanted to revise the content of the contract, Luo Yihai didn't think much about it, so he agreed.
Who knows, these are all premeditated. Just waiting for the critical moment to pit them.
If you really want to withdraw this batch of auction items, Ning's Auction House can also close its doors directly.
It is absolutely unacceptable to add 30% to the appreciable price.
Because when I was appraising, the price itself was a bit inflated, and if I added 30%, it was higher than the official auction price.
People are clearly trying to trap you, and you don't have anything you can do.
"Mr. Huang, if you do this, I'm afraid your reputation in the circle will be damaged in the future." Luo Yihai said in a deep voice.
The wrist laughed and said, "Fame? It's not that I have money and nowhere to spend it, I only collect and don't buy and sell. If you don't exchange so many things in your hand for money, what's the use of being famous? Instead of worrying about me, worry about yourselves. I'm really curious to know what you can do without our lots. "
Hear this. Luo Yihai's lungs are about to explode.
At this moment, a voice came into his ears: "There is no need for Mr. Huang to worry about this, I believe that even without these lots of yours, our auction will definitely be held normally." No, to be exact, the momentum will be ten times greater than before! "
Luo Yihai turned his head and saw Ma Wanyun walking in with a plastic bag.
When the wrist saw her, he couldn't help laughing: "It's quite level, but unfortunately it doesn't make any sense." "
Luo Yihai frowned. Said: "Whoever let you in, get out!" "
Although this wrist named Huang Jingshan wants to trick people, it is not a last resort, and Luo Yihai does not want to really tear his face with the other party. As long as there is still the slightest possibility, he will do his best to save it.
After all, the result of this matter. It is directly related to the future of Ning's Auction House.
As for Ma Wanyun, Luo Yihai knew that she was one of the victims of the fire, and she was also the focus of the company's humanistic care some time ago. But even if Ning Chujun looked at her differently, what did it matter?
His status in the company is not lower than that of Ning Chujun. Even if this eldest lady may be in charge of the company in the future. That was decades later.
Could it be that just because her surname is Ning, even the people around her have to stammer?
What others do, Luo Yihai doesn't care, he can't do it anyway.
And Ma Wanyun did not leave because of his scolding, but walked straight in. opened the plastic bag and said, "Mr. Luo, I think you have seen this, and you will definitely not worry about the auction anymore." "
Luo Yihai frowned and looked at it, Huang Jingshan also sneered and looked into the plastic bag, and said, "What can compare to more than a dozen of our antique cultural relics?" Do you really know??"
Speaking of this, Huang Jingshan's voice stopped. Including Luo Yihai, he was also stunned.
Both of them saw the contents of the plastic bag, and the appearance of the thing made them wonder if they were mistaken.
Ma Wanyun had already expected this, she simply took out the things directly, held them with both hands, and said, "Mr. Luo, how many antiques do you think this thing can be compared?" "
Luo Yihai didn't speak, his mind was a little confused now.
This thing?? Why does it look so much like an ape-man skull?
The ape-man skull, which had been lost for decades, now has only historical data and a restored model. The real thing, now almost no one has ever seen.
When Luo Yihai visited the museum before, he had seen the restored model, which was almost exactly the same as the one in Ma Wanyun's hand.
If this is just a restoration model, even if it is imitated, the value is limited. At the very least, it is not as good as the dozen or so cultural relics of Huangjingshan.
Huang Jingshan also thinks so. He pouted directly: "What did I think, a replica model, what's the big deal." "
Ma Wanyun glanced at him, and then said, "Whether it's a model or a real one, the carbon fourteen test can easily be identified." But even without experimentation, I can vouch for it with personality, it's the real thing! It is a national treasure that the country has been looking for for decades and the whole world is paying attention to! "
"Hahahaha, it's outrageous, if it's true. I'm going to eat all of yours! Huang Jingshan laughed.
Luo Yihai frowned slightly, he actually felt that this was unlikely to be true. The world has been looking for decades and has not found it, how can Ma Wanyun find this treasure?
But. Ma Wanyun is also a highly educated person, and she should know equally well that this thing will be suspected if she takes it out. And as she said, the carbon-14 test is easy to determine whether it's true or not.
In this case, what is she doing with it, is it just to make Huang Jingshan laugh.
Luo Yihai felt that this possibility was very small, and he didn't think Ma Wanyun would do this. What's more, Huang Jingshan came to talk about this matter today, and she didn't even know about it, how could she so coincidentally bring a fake ape-man skull to work.
"Mr. Luo. This thing is not mine, but given to me by a mysterious collector. I can't reveal his identity information, but what is certain is that this ape-man skull must be real! I suggest that you immediately report to the relevant units and jointly conduct carbon 14 assays to confirm! Ma Wanyun said.
From Ma Wanyun's determined eyes, Luo Yihai seemed to see something. His heart began to slowly ripple.
If Ma Wanyun is not a person who can use lying to create momentum, then is there a 1 in 10,000 chance that this thing is true?
A 1 in 10,000 chance represents a very small chance. But it was this small chance that made Luo Yihai stand up directly.
"The company has carbon 14 test equipment, we can test it ourselves first, and then report it after it is confirmed."
As he spoke, Luo Yihai beckoned Ma Wanyun to walk towards the laboratory, as for Huang Jingshan, he had no time to take care of it.
If the ape-man skull is real, let alone a dozen cultural relics, even if the cultural relics of the world are added together, they are not as important as it!
After all, this is one of the most important pieces of evidence about the origins of mankind, a truly unique and significant national treasure!
Looking at the backs of the two of them leaving in a hurry, Huang Jingshan snorted coldly.
He wouldn't have believed that the skull of an ape-man, who had been missing for decades, could have appeared here by such a coincidence.
Perhaps, this is just a persecution method that Ning's auction house deliberately made out of knowing that it wanted to extort them a sum of money.
It's a pity that this method is so clumsy that it can't fool people at all.
Now that Huang Jingshan is gone, there is naturally no need to talk about follow-up matters.
Huang Jingshan snorted and walked out of the office with his bag in his hand.
Since you have been given the opportunity not to do it, then wait for the auction to start and be criticized by countless people!
At that time, it will not be a price increase!
