Chapter 4: Underground Trading

That's often the way things are, what you're afraid of, and the more you worry about something, the more things happen.

Before the old prostitute went to the auction in Guizhou, I was worried that this guy would bid indiscriminately, but I didn't expect it to happen.

As soon as the auction in Guizhou ended, the vice president who participated in the auction with the old prostitute called me to complain, saying that the old prostitute spent 60,000 yuan to auction a thing that was not even worth 10,000 yuan. The vice president explained to me that he couldn't persuade the old prostitute at all, and it was clear that the premium had already exceeded the value of the commodity, but the old prostitute still bid again and again, and the last time the price was even more outrageous, jumping directly by 20,000 yuan.

The vice president felt that although the old prostitute was a master of inversion, he was not a knowledgeable operator, but more like a hobby collector, who desperately bid for his favorite things, which violated the company's business principles. He also said that because the old prostitute's behavior caused damage to the company's image, he would be laughed at by his peers, so he wanted me to get the old prostitute back to Chengde.

Listening to what the vice president said so much, I also understood what he meant, he just wanted me to transfer the old prostitute away from him. I promised him that I would transfer the prostitute back to Chengde as soon as possible, but for the sake of the company's image, I transferred 60,000 yuan to the vice president alone, and asked him to pay the auction in the name of the prostitute himself, so as not to leave a record of the premium auction to the company.

In our business, we are afraid of leaving a transaction record of premium lots, once this record appears, it will be ridiculed by our peers for not being professional enough, and it will also bring trouble to the future business. In the future, if the company wants to auction antiquities, peers are likely to push the company's bidding to the edge of a premium every time, which will greatly reduce the company's earnings.

After all, Fa Qiu Men is now an operating company, not a personal collector, so there is a corresponding valuation for any antiquities, beyond the estimate, usually our companies will not bid again, because it is not profitable, and most of the people who bid after that are individual collectors. For personal collections, they don't care how much the premium is as long as they like it, so some things can even be a hundred times more expensive.

The antiquities of 60,000 yuan are not worth mentioning to the company at all, but the company's image is important, so it is impossible to go to the company's account, so I can only pay for the old prostitute out of my own pocket.

I don't feel sorry for the 60,000 yuan, just as a gift for the old prostitute, but I am very curious about what the old prostitute likes?

As soon as I asked the vice president on the phone what the old prostitute was shooting, another call came in the phone. As soon as I looked at the caller ID, it was the old prostitute, so I asked the vice president to hang up the phone first, and then answer the call of the old prostitute.

The old prostitute talks too much on the phone, so she won't describe it in detail. The purpose of his call was to tell me what he was filming.

When I heard him talk about this thing, I was shocked for a moment, because I had seen this thing not long ago.

The old prostitute auctioned a turquoise at the auction in Guizhou, and according to the old prostitute's description, this turquoise is the same as the one we have seen in the desert coffin.

In order to judge more accurately, I asked the old prostitute to take a few photos and send them over.

While waiting for the photos to come in, I couldn't even believe it was real. To know what the appearance of this turquoise means? Either it was brought out by someone in the form of a tomb robbery, or it was brought out by someone who came out of a colored coffin. If it is the former, it means that the secret in the desert has long been no secret. Although I wanted the latter, I was afraid that it would be so. If the latter is true, it means that there is a group of people who have been resurrected from the coffin in this world. And are these people never going to die? Or is it a resurrection that can be repeated? If so, it's really incredible.

The photos taken by the old prostitute came to me, but after I looked at them a few times, I felt that I had made an unforgivable mistake. I kind of regret that I didn't look closely at the details of this turquoise when I was in the desert, so now when I look at the photos, I just feel very similar, at least the size and pattern are similar. As for the details that the two have in common, I don't see anything in common.

I called the old prostitute again and asked him if the turquoise was exactly the same as the one in the desert. He answered me in the affirmative.

I believe in the judgment of the old prostitute, after all, he has carefully looked at the turquoise in the colored coffin, so he said the same, it should not be bad.

The old prostitute also told me what he was thinking, and he wanted to find the seller who sold the turquoise, and he thought that this person might know some secrets that we don't know. Of course, this secret is not important to the two of us, and the purpose of the old prostitute is just to help the little wolf untie the knot that has been entangled in him for many years as soon as possible. And the old prostitute thinks that this may be of some help to Meng Xinrui.

I agree with the old prostitute and think that he is worth it to spend 60,000 yuan to auction this turquoise. Maybe this turquoise doesn't seem important to others, but we know what this turquoise represents, so even if it costs 600,000 yuan, I will also think it's worth it.

After the old prostitute told me about his thoughts, he also wanted me to go to Guizhou in person, because the organizer of the Guizhou auction did not give him face at all and did not tell him who the seller of turquoise was.

In fact, this is a trade rule, a trade rule for the protection of sellers, and any underground auction house will keep the sellers confidential. Moreover, the underground auction house itself does not investigate who the seller is, let alone how the goods he auctions come from, for the underground auction houses, they only care about the commission of the auctioned goods, and they do not care whether the lot is stolen or robbed. Therefore, there are many shady objects that will choose to be traded in underground auction houses.

Of course, the commission of the underground auction house is also quite generous, as far as I know, the underground auction house in Guizhou is the one that draws the most transaction commissions in the country, and they will even take 50% of the commission for some items, that is, they will share the transaction amount equally with the seller. The reason why this underground auction house takes so much commission is entirely due to their strong sales network, and it is said that there has not been a single unsold item in this auction house so far.

I don't know if I can use it well, after all, I haven't dealt with this Guizhou auction house, but I still decided to go to Guizhou tomorrow.

After hanging up the phone with the old prostitute, I called the company's accountant again and asked him to count how many transactions the company had with Guizhou Auction House over the years.

When I went to the company to take a look at the accounting and statistics table, I immediately felt that it was funny, because there was a stack of A4 paper in front of me. It turned out that when the senior brother was there, especially three years ago, there were too many transactions between Faqiumen and this underground auction house in Guizhou to count. However, there have been few transactions in the last three years, and there has not even been a single transaction in one year.

Looking at the dismal transaction records of the past three years, I felt a little strange in my heart, thinking that I had cooperated so well before, why did I suddenly not continue to cooperate? Could it be that there is something else going on here?
