22 Garbo Auctions
Newly opened the martial arts plane, and sacrificed two martial arts cheats, although he has just started to cultivate, and he can't see any effect for the time being, but he can get the opportunity to practice ancient martial arts, Lan Tianyu is already extremely satisfied.
Originally, he had been in a good mood, but after going to work, he heard two bad news one after another.
First of all, the solicitation of lots has not been fruitful. More than a dozen big collectors who have a friendly relationship with Gu Yun, even if Gu Yun gave the most favorable conditions without charging any commission, only two of them were impressed, and each took out a lot, and the market price was about one million, which was far from Gu Yun's expectations. In the face of the public solicitation of lots, the harvest is not large, so far, only seven have met the auction conditions, of which there is only one treasure of more than one million.
The most important lot collection did not achieve the expected results, and the subsequent series of plans were difficult to implement.
To add insult to injury, Garbo Auction, the most powerful auction house in the province, actually wanted to advance the second phase of the Four Seasons Auction, which was originally scheduled for July, to June.
The strength of Garbo Auction is more than ten times that of Gu Yun, and Gu Yun definitely has no strength and confidence to compete with the other party, so he can only take the initiative to retreat. Now that Garbo wants to advance the all-important Four Seasons auction, Gu Yun has no choice but to wait for the other party to finish the auction before choosing another date. Otherwise, even if Gu Yun collects enough lots, he will not invite heavyweight buyers to participate in the auction.
Although Gu Yun has been in business for many years under the leadership of Lan Minghui and has risen to the peak of medium-sized auction houses, it can still only survive in the cracks of the three major auction houses.
Medium-sized auction houses such as Gu Yun generally hold weekend auctions from time to time according to the solicitation of lots. If the collection of lots is good, a larger monthly auction will be held. The monthly auction of Gu Yun is not fixed every month, but depends on the actual situation.
Because Lan Tianyu has a plane altar in hand, he believes that he will be able to sacrifice a few treasures during this time, so he has the confidence to successfully hold a monthly auction.
The collection of lots has been open since the end of the last weekend, but to date, only 11 lots have been collected. Lan Tianyu is extremely dissatisfied with the work of Mao Xiaoyu, the director of the marketing department.
He said in a deep voice: "I am very shocked that a large group of elites in your marketing department have only collected eleven lots!" In addition to these big collectors and open calls, antique shops, pawn shops, jewelry companies, and wealthy people who are short of funds, how many have you contacted? When my father was alive, he was very supportive and trusting of your work, but I was disappointed by your performance this time. ”
Mao Xiaoyu is about forty years old, elegant temperament, very affinity, very good at communication and communication, previously served as the marketing director of Guyun, the work has been very good, won the trust of Lan Minghui.
Even after Lan Tianyu took over as chairman, he has always maintained appropriate respect for Mao Xiaoyu's attitude, and such heavy words and unceremonious attitudes are the first time Mao Xiaoyu has seen them.
The strong pressure came to his face, and Mao Xiaoyu felt that this young chairman was even more majestic than when his father was alive, and the heavy atmosphere at this time made him feel pressure.
Despite the grievances in his heart, Mao Xiaoyu still said euphemistically: "The company's last auction was very successful, and the people in our marketing department are very excited. I thought that this time the work of soliciting lots would be easier than before, but this is not the case. We hit a wall with all the big collectors, and the two collectors who agreed to cooperate only for the sake of my face, it was really hard to shirk it, so I agreed. We have also contacted antique shops and pawn shops that we have cooperated with before, but they have all been refused. Those who take the initiative to contact it have no effect. Now there are two wealthy people who are short of funds, and they seem to have some intentions, as long as we promise not to disclose their information, and we can give more discounts on commissions, they may agree. ”
Seeing that Lan Tianyu's face had calmed down, he continued: "What these two rich men are most worried about is the leakage of information about their auction of antiques, so their first choice is not a big auction like Garbo, our Gu Yun has always done the best job in keeping the consignor confidential, as long as I contact it a few more times, I think there is a great hope of success." If you talk about it, it is estimated that these two people can come up with about ten lots, and all of them are worth a lot of money. In addition, several small collectors we have contacted have also had intentions and are still in contact for the time being. ”
Speaking of this, his face showed a solemn expression, he considered the wording, and said: "Almost all big collectors, antique shops, and pawn shops have directly refused our cooperation, which is very abnormal. I asked the two collector friends who agreed to cooperate, and it was indeed someone who was secretly targeting us, although they didn't say it explicitly, but the person behind it should be Garbo Auction House. ”
It is so difficult to solicit lots, and even giving up the commission of the client is unattractive, Lan Tianyu guessed that someone should be secretly obstructing, listening to Mao Xiaoyu's story, the facts are beyond doubt. It's just that he can't understand why Garbo's auction behavior should cost so much to thwart him? In this way, the resources and losses paid by the other party may be greater than his. With the current situation of ancient rhyme, it is not worth treating Garbo like this, and the reason for this is very intriguing.
Since he knew that the unfavorable solicitation of lots was the reason for being obstructed, Lan Tianyu instructed Mao Xiaoyu to change the solicitation target to an individual who was difficult to influence, and after shifting the public relations target, it should have some effect.
Lan Tianyu didn't worry about Qin Yin going to the Starlight Nightclub to sing alone, and she had to pick up and drop her off twice a week, and after sending her over today, she found that Lin Yuanhang was also there.
Having just been targeted by Lin Yuanhang's design, Lan Tianyu was extremely wary of this insidious rival, but the Lin Group was too powerful, and he had no ability to fight back for the time being, so he could only defend passively and not give the other party a chance.
Lin Yuanhang didn't seem to care about Lan Tianyu's ignorance, he took the initiative to take a prepared cocktail, came to Lan Tianyu's seat, and said with a bright smile: "The Martini here is really good, do you want a drink?" ”
"I PREFER TEGUILASUNRISE." Lan Tianyu raised his glass and took a sip.
"I wanted to surprise you, but I didn't expect your energy to be quite large. Not only was I investigated, but I was also warned not to use unfair means against you. Lin Yuanhang raised his eyebrows: "You say, is it necessary to use improper means to deal with you in my identity?" ”
"Legitimate means are too slow to work, or more drastic means are more effective, in today's society, everything is efficient, isn't it?" Lan Tianyu looked directly into Lin Yuanhang's eyes, and a cold light flashed.
"No wonder you became my rival, sure enough, you know me. Since the rules don't allow it, it's not bad to change the way, although the effect is slower, but the moment of success, it must be more fulfilling, I am looking forward to that day! The corners of Lin Yuanhang's mouth were extremely evil
