Chapter 135: Intrigue in the workplace
The curtain of the backstage was lifted, and it was the head of the Treasure Pavilion who came in.
The auctioneer suddenly felt a little bad - at this important moment, the director did not pay attention to how the auction was going, but came to me...... Could it be that he saw my gaffe?
No matter what he thinks in his heart, it has become his instinct to be calm on the surface - especially in front of people.
The auctioneer smiled and greeted the principal: "Principal, don't you go to the front and look at it?" Now it's up to the owner to introduce him, what if he is not familiar with the program and something goes wrong? ”
The principal looked at the auctioneer and said disapprerovingly: "What can be the problem, just auction it after calling for the introduction of the items, as the owner, he naturally understands his own things very well, and the money obtained from the auction is also him 9 us 1, he will naturally be attentive." The most important thing is...... Even if he has a problem, what can I do? Find someone to replace him? ”
Speaking of the latter, the irony in the principal's tone became more and more intense, and the eyes of the auctioneer were also dissatisfied.
Did he really see that I had just made a mistake? The auctioneer became more and more nervous, and he followed the other party's words and asked, "Why can't you replace him?" ”
"Who's going to replace? Let you go for a replacement? He's going to replace you! What were you just doing? The guest clearly expressed doubts about the auction item, and you actually ignored it! Are you trying to mess up the auction? The instructions on the side have already mentioned that the auction items need to be displayed this time, but you didn't follow the instructions above! ”
Hearing the auctioneer ask this question, the principal became furious like a keg of dynamite that had been ignited, not only did he point his fingers at the auctioneer, but the saliva in his mouth sprayed everywhere, making the auctioneer who was slightly cleanliness disgusted, if it wasn't for the fact that he poked the basket this time and took care of it, he would have quarreled with the other party a long time ago...... But now there is only patience.
No matter how excited the emotions were, there were times when they cooled down, and after a while, the principal calmly asked, "Let's be honest, didn't you read the manual at all?" ”
The auctioneer just wanted to open his mouth to refute, but he closed his mouth in a dejected manner.
I can't argue! My previous mistake was too obvious, if I hadn't read the manual, could it be that I made a mistake that an apprentice wouldn't have been able to follow? And is it also a situation where the principal reminds in the audience that customers are also starting to make trouble?
It doesn't make sense anyway......
Although the auctioneer did not admit it, as soon as he saw the other party's demeanor, the principal knew the other party's answer, and he said helplessly: "You, you, I have long heard that you are becoming more and more proud, and you know all the treasures in the world. Nine points, every time someone sends an auction item, you have to identify it yourself, and then look at the description of the person, sometimes the customer's description is not as accurate as your identification, and you are proud of it. ”
Speaking of this, the principal became a little angry: "But this time the time is so tight, it's just enough for you to read the instructions, and you actually chose not to read the manual, but to identify the ...... yourself."
The auctioneer whispered: "I thought that the appraisal was the same as reading the manual!" ”
The principal looked at the auctioneer speechlessly for a long time, and then sneered: "What about the result? ”
This time it was the auctioneer's turn to be speechless, he didn't expect that there would be such a thing that he didn't understand and hadn't seen before, even if he read some manuals just now, he still didn't understand, just how that watch realized the functions of timekeeping, Wanli sound transmission and so on.
"So, the world is so big, we must keep a humble attitude, you never know what magical things suddenly come out of the world, your mentality of thinking that you know all the treasures is ......" The chief chattered and educated the auctioneer, and finally issued a punishment for him: "Forget it this time, punish you for 3 months, remember not to be too arrogant in the future!" ”
The auctioneer has nothing to say, he is willing to be punished, anyway, as the chief auctioneer, he earns 1,000 taels per month, and the family has countless remaining wealth, not to mention that he also has a part-time appraiser, and the fine for 3 months is not worth mentioning.
"So that's it? If it's okay, I'd like to go to the venue and see the items in this auction. After accepting the punishment, the auctioneer said to the principal.
In fact, his curiosity about the auction is of course a reason, but more because he now has a sense of fear or uneasiness in the face of the subject, just like facing a person who has mastered his own weaknesses, even if others have no malice, but he will feel uncomfortable.
"Let's go!" The principal waved his hand and replied nonchalantly.
After the auctioneer's figure disappeared, a smile of successful conspiracy suddenly appeared on the face of the principal.
In fact, this auctioneer's ability to identify rare treasures and the atmosphere in the auction room is top-notch, and he may even be the best in the world.
Most people who stand at the top of a field have pride, and this one is no exception.
As the head of the Treasure Pavilion, he was obviously the superior of the other party, but he had never seen respect in the eyes of the other party, which naturally caused him dissatisfaction, but he couldn't help it.
The ability of the other party is irreplaceable at present, and even if he is in charge, he has no right to dismiss such an expert for no reason...... In other words, there is really a conflict between the two of them, and it is difficult to say who the owner supports. After all, although his kind of stewardship is important, there is still a long way to go from being irreplaceable, and the other party's ability is truly irreplaceable!
So he has been secretly trying to find a way to reasonably suppress the other party's arrogance, and the items that Li Yuanbin asked for auction are the best opportunity.
In fact, although the watch sent by the Li family is undoubtedly a rare treasure, but the so-called rare is expensive, they auction 1000 watches at a time, which will naturally greatly reduce the value of the watch, and the whole auction is to auction this watch, which is also a bit boring. In other words, the auction that the Li family applied for this time is actually in the kind where it is reasonable to open and reasonable to not open.
But he did not hesitate to approve the auction, because he saw it as a very natural opportunity to lure the auctioneer into a trap.
Due to the single auction item, if the customer is informed in advance that there are many auction items, this will naturally reduce the intensity of the customer's struggle, so confidentiality has become a matter of course. That's why he had an excuse to keep it secret and only show the auction items to the auctioneer at the last moment.
And the auctioneer's habit of proudly appraising himself first and then reading the manual is naturally not a secret, but before the accident, even if he accuses the other party of this habit, it is useless, no one will take it seriously! Maybe others will admire his confidence and knowledge.
And finally, the most important joint is...... Confirm the origin and function of the lot will not be recognized by the auctioneer.
This was confirmed the moment he saw Li Yuanbin demonstrate the functions of the watch.
And the fact is just as he planned, even if there is not enough time, the other party still chose to identify it himself, and as he expected, the other party did not recognize the origin of the watch, and as he expected, the other party made a big ugly appearance at the auction.
And Li Yuanbin went up to replace him was also in his plan, and at the beginning he told Li Yuanbin that if there was an accident, he might need to replace the auctioneer.
And finally it was harvest time, after he taught the auctioneer a lesson in the background, he obviously found that the other party's sense of awe of him had increased a lot. Does it matter?
Anyway, in the future, he will no longer be proud in front of himself!
