Qin Guan now also knows that Tian Huangshi is now sought after and extremely valuable, so when Master Wu said this, Qin Guan was not too surprised.

"Master Wu, you still tell me the price of these two pieces of Tianhuang stone." Qin Guan Dao.

Master Wu hurriedly said: "Okay, now the price of Tianhuang stone is also more transparent, your slightly smaller Tianhuang frozen stone, I estimate it at 24 million Hong Kong dollars." ”

"And this large piece of silver and gold, although the unit price per gram is slightly lower, but because of its large size, I estimate it at 35 million."

Hearing this price, Qin Guan's heart was also pounding.

And that's just the reserve price, and the auction price will definitely be higher.

He really didn't expect that the most inconspicuous pieces of Tianhuang Stone were taken from Zhou Taixiang at a moment's notice, and they didn't cost a penny, and they turned out to be the most valuable of the jewelry and jade he brought back.

Qin Guan immediately made up his mind that when he returned to the ancient plane, he must send someone to Shoushan, search there first, and get all the Tian Huangshi that he could buy.

Manager Zhang took out a contract with a smile and said to Qin Guan: "Mr. Qin, this is the text of the contract for our auction, if you have no disagreement, we can set the reserve price according to the appraiser's price, and then we can prepare for the auction later." ”

"These auction items of yours are all high-quality products, just to participate in next month's jade auction special session, when the time comes, we will definitely increase publicity, I believe that your lot will be able to fetch a high price."

Qin Guan looked at the contract, it was a fixed auction contract of the auction company, and there was nothing wrong with the others, but Qin Guan pointed to one of them and said: "I am not very satisfied with the commission ratio drawn by your company, and I hope to be able to reduce the commission ratio." ”

The commission ratio written in the contract is 10%, even if it is calculated according to the reserve price of Qin Guan's lots, more than 8 million will be deducted, and the auction transaction price will definitely be more than this, and Qin Guan will have to pay no less than 10 million yuan for the commission alone.

Manager Zhang began to explain patiently to Qin Guan, "Mr. Qin, the 10% commission is the usual price of the auction house, and the major auction companies are at this price, which is not easy to change. ”

"You see, you hand over the treasure to us, we have a lot of work to do, we have to be responsible for safekeeping, insurance, sending to professional institutions for appraisal and evaluation, issuing certificates, as well as organizing publicity, advertising on TV stations, networks, and magazines, and the investment of our auction company is also very large."

"Through our promotional operations, your lot will sell for a higher price, but in the end, it will be yours who will benefit, you say."

Manager Zhang's clever tongue was like a spring, but Qin Guan was unmoved, this is all money.

Qin Guan stalled his hands: "If you don't reduce the commission, then I can only change one, I believe that with these treasures of mine, I don't have to worry about finding an auction company willing to take over, such as Sotheby's and Poly." ”

Manager Zhang couldn't move Qin Guan, so he could only say helplessly: "Okay, I'll ask my supervisor." ”

After a while, a senior executive came over, and after understanding the situation, he continued to persuade Qin Guan to pull from the scale of Christie's to the brand, and then said that the performance of previous years, in short, that is, they Christie's is the best, and Qin Guan is definitely worth the money with this 10%.

However, Qin Guan insisted that if he didn't reduce the commission, he would change to another company, and his few things were too attractive, and the supervisor had no choice, and he didn't want to lose this excellent customer, so he had to reduce the commission to 6% in the end, which was already their bottom line.

The contract is signed, and the baby is sent to the treasure house.

Qin Guan left Christie's with a contract, Manager Zhang personally sent it to the door, respectfully handed over the business card, and said to Qin Guan: "Our jade auction is scheduled to be held on the 18th of next month, and there are still 33 days before now. ”

Qin Guan said: "If there is time then, I will come." ”

Qin Guan stayed at the Victoria Hotel, after dinner, the lights were on, he walked alone on the seaside road of Victoria Bay, looking at the night view of the bay, from time to time there were ferries passing by, the opposite Bank of China Building, the International Financial Center Building was brightly lit, reflected in the sea water, with the gentle waves into a fine spot of light.

The scene here is so familiar, he had come to see it more than a year ago, but at that time, it was two people.

He hugged the elf-like girl, and the two of them leaned against the railing, talking and laughing, pointing to the building opposite, and calling out their names one by one.

Qin Guan fell into deep memories, and sadness flooded from the bottom of his heart,

In that fine ripple, it seemed that the figure of a girl had risen, showing a bright smile, looking at Qin Guan.

He muttered, "Yuzhu." ”

The sea breeze blew, making Qin Guan feel extremely cold.

It turns out that in Hong Kong in November, the sea breeze is also so bone-chilling, especially for a lonely person.

Qin Guan only spent one night in Hong Kong, and returned to Hangzhou the next day, which can be said to be in a hurry.

On the day of the auction, he would come over.

As soon as he returned to Hangzhou, Qin Guan received a call from Lin Tiesheng of Inspur Technology, telling him that the batch of books that Qin Guan took a few days ago had all been made into text versions and entered into the APP software database.

Qin Guan could go and take those books back at any time.

Driving to Inspur Technology again, Qin Guan took back the box of ancient books, paid a deposit of 200,000 yuan, and waited for two months to see their results.

When he got home, Qin Guan was bored and opened the bookbox and took out a book from it at random, he didn't care what the book was at all, he just flipped through it casually, the pages rattled, and when he stopped on one page, suddenly a line of words came into his eyes.

"The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost. The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side. ”

The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side.

This sentence hit the heart directly, so that Qin Guan could no longer take his eyes off.

Are my people waiting for me on the other side of the water?

Qin Guan looked seriously,

"The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost. The so-called Yi people, on the water side, follow it, and the road is long and obstructive. Tracing from it, it is like being in the middle of the water.

The leaves are green, and the white dew is not dawning. .........”

'The reeds are dense and the water's edge grows, and the white dew in late autumn turns into frost. The man whose thoughts I have on the other side of the river is on the other side of the river. Going upstream, the road is rugged and long. Descending the river, it seems to be in the middle of the water. ’

After reading this poem, Qin Guan actually had a feeling that his soul was quiet and floating out of the dust, which made his heart, which was low because of missing Yuzhu in the past few days, feel that he has been appeased a lot.

At this moment, Qin Guan suddenly became very interested in the classics in his hand, although he was generally knowledgeable, he also knew that this was a poem in the Book of Songs.

Could it be that this is the power of the classics?
