After determining the goal, she was no longer apprehensive in her heart, the woman's natural surname regained the upper hand, she twisted her body in the mirror concisely, the brilliance of the gemstone necklace flashed on her face, and she muttered in a dreamy tone: "This chain, wearing it around my neck makes me dare not breathe, oh my God, I never thought of it in my life...... Hey, you haven't answered me yet, how much are you going to let me shout the price this time? There's always a floor price, right? ”

Wang Cheng pondered for a while, and felt that it was better to tell the truth, concise is a very serious and responsible white bone spirit, if he has something to say on the table, even if he has to bargain, it is better than being told the truth by her and making trouble with each other.

"The bid floor is $1.1 billion," Wang Cheng confessed, "but I think that just entering the main venue of TEFAF will allow us to sell it at this price." And the six artworks traded over-the-counter are about where our profit lies. However, usually over-the-counter things are not sold at a price, because the purpose of over-the-counter transactions is to launder the artwork, not to get a good price...... All in all, how much we make this time depends on our own efforts. ”

Jane asked with some excitement: "How to divide the overflow part?" ”

"Oh, employers have to pay for themselves first, but generally speaking, the price of art goes up year after year – except during the Great Depression. Thankfully, this is not the time of the Great Depression. Therefore, the spillover part of the income is divided into the following proportions: 40% of the income goes to the employer, the other 40% of the income is shared by the company with the galleries, museums, and individual collectors who are commissioned, and the remaining 20% is at our disposal. ”

Concise said with a little disappointment: "This doesn't make sense! According to you, in the whole process of the TEFAF art transaction, we are all bargaining with the buyers, those museums, galleries and collectors, those museums, galleries and collectors, just put things on display in their own places, and someone comes to inquire and inform us to negotiate the price, so that we can share 40%, and we can only get 20% of our hard work, this kind of profit distribution method is too unreasonable. ”

Jane had just said that she couldn't breathe, but she was immediately energetic enough to start haggling - she still had the shiny necklace around her neck, fluttering with her breathing and emotions...... Wang Cheng looked concise with satisfaction, as a man, the greatest happiness is: there is a woman who fights for life and death, and she is desperate to make money for you.

"You forget, I said that Maastricht is the most censored, and that these museums, galleries, and individual collectors are not at all able to bring our stuff into the room and pass the harshest scrutiny of the conference organizers. They did what they should do, and the rest depends on our efforts, selling more and selling less, it all depends on your ability to fool. ”

After thinking about it briefly, he asked energetically: "Then how should the remaining two percent be distributed, you and I are one and a half, what do you think?" ”

Wang looked at the simplicity like an idiot: "Do you think this is possible?" ”

Jian Jian immediately said: "Then three one thirty-one, you three and I one." ”

Wang Cheng hesitated for a long time in a struggling gesture, and said slowly: "At this meeting, as an art merchant, I am also your boyfriend, art bodyguard, and your translator, and the whole bargaining process depends on you alone, but the cost ......of participating in the meeting will be funded by me."

"Your identity is complicated, but in general, what you do is not work and just get paid, standing and watching the scenery...... Oh, of course, you're still one of the investors", succinctly sneered, and said firmly: "Whoever takes the money speaks - I did it, 3131, I take care of all the transactions." ”

Wang Cheng gritted his teeth, looked reluctant, and reluctantly said, "I agree!" ”

Concise let out a long sigh of relief, and immediately shifted her target, looking at the jewelry box with an intoxicated expression, anticipation, reverie, hope, and dreamy expressions intertwined a wonderful picture on her face: "Ah, what else is in the box...... Oh my God, we're going to move the whole box of jewelry to the venue?! It's all mine, it's all mine...... Wear?! Pinch me, I'm not dreaming, am I? I, I don't even know where to put my hands! ”

Wang Cheng pointed to the box: "As for it?" Isn't it just some little shiny rock? …… Check it out: the box contains a set of gorgeous jewelry for an evening dress, and this necklace around your neck is one of them, as well as two sets of suit jewelry for professional wear. On the day of the opening ceremony, you will be dressed in an evening dress and bring the most luxurious jewelry. With a few days left to trade, you can wear two pro outfits to talk to people about business.

The main venue in Maastricht will be open for seven days, and the over-the-counter trading will continue for another week, but I don't think you need to change a set of jewelry every day, plus your own original jewelry, back and forth, and mix and match for the other six days. ”

The words were not heard succinctly, and she rummaged through the jewelry box merrily like a foraging bird, completely oblivious to what day it was.

Wang Cheng coughed vigorously, seeing that this kind of reminder was useless to Jianjian, he stepped forward and lifted Jianjian directly, and Jianjian still held a pair of earrings in his hand and shouted: "You wait, let me compare this pair of earrings......"

Wang Cheng leaned into the other party's ear and said loudly: "Let's go buy clothes now, you'd better wear these jewelry and new clothes on your body these days, find a little familiarity, find a little confidence." I've heard that when expensive new clothes are first put on, people walk in a bit of a way that is a little unconfident, and as a result, the new clothes look like they're 'rented', and you'd better get yourself familiar with them as soon as possible. ”

The concise person was still hanging on Wang Cheng's hand, she pinched a pair of earrings in one hand, and her empty left hand clenched her small fist and waved: "Don't worry, when it comes to making money, there is no time when I am not confident." Negotiating the price with someone, I don't care even if I'm wearing a sack, not to mention wearing such extravagant clothes, my self-confidence is highly inflated, this time I don't slaughter a few sets of such jewelry, it's really cheap for them...... Heck, you just said that photography is not allowed at the Tefaf venue in Maastricht? So what are you waiting for, let's hurry up and buy clothes, I'm going to put on my evening dress, I'm going to take these jewelry, I'm going to take some beautiful photos in Cambridge, these pictures are my memories from now on, I'm going to tell myself that I've enjoyed the most extravagant things in the world...... I'm afraid this necklace is worth tens of millions of dollars - right? ”

Wang Cheng shook his head: "How can it be so exaggerated, there is an "Anti-Profiteering Law" abroad, even the jewelry industry is not so profitable - this necklace is worth a million US dollars, but it is ...... in China You directly estimate more than 100 million yuan. ”

Jane screamed: "Where are the bodyguards!" Oh my God, you're right, I can't breathe without anyone standing around with this thing. ”

Wang Cheng pointed to the jewelry box: "Don't worry, you first leave an impression of these jewelry in your mind - blue tanzanite blue jewelry, a full set, according to the different styles you want to embody, you can match different colors of evening dresses - if you want to show nobility and coldness, it is suitable to choose a purple suit; If you want low-key luxury, it is suitable to choose clothes of the same color; or black; If you want to look playful, then choose the white series, and if you want to show off the showy, then use the big flower series...... Think about the outfits you're going to buy, and we'll head out again. ”

Jane looked around, took a gray-blue alpache cashmere scarf from the hanger, and asked flatteringly: "It must be very cold in Northern Europe in March, can this alpaca cashmere scarf be considered an additional giveaway, don't count it in the clothing fee." ”

Wang Cheng smiled: "Manager Jian, your bargaining strength has come up...... Forget it, I'll give it to you, I can call the shots on this matter. Well, are you looking at all the jewelry? Look, I'm going to lock the box. ”

Concise let go of a few steps, put the camel cashmere scarf on his shoulders in front of the dressing mirror and admired, turned around and saw that Wang Cheng was still packing up the messy jewelry box, she suddenly said: "When it comes to buying clothes, I suddenly have a new idea: hehe, this is the United Kingdom, the goods can be returned for no reason, simply let's buy a few more sets, say hello to the return deadline, I will wear it once, and return the clothes before the return deadline, so that we can buy a lot of evening dresses without spending a penny."

You see, since my employer has prepared such expensive jewelry for me, you let me wear a set of evening dresses for several days in a row, from the opening ceremony to the closing ceremony, how faceless? Evening dresses, there are few opportunities to wear them in China, and if I buy this dress back, I may only be able to wear it once in my life, what a pity.

You see, it's not that I don't buy from merchants, I buy one, I want a few more sets of alternatives, and I guess there is nothing to say in the store. As for the jewelry that needs to be matched...... I guess the employer is a man, he doesn't know a woman's mind at all, for a woman, the more clothes, the better, jewelry, a few sets of jewelry mixed together, two sets of jewelry I can conjure up a dozen patterns, enough to match seven or eight sets of clothing. ”

Wang Cheng snorted: "You are very good! …… I don't have any experience with this kind of thing, so how do you decide how to do it, I just need to take care of my wallet. ”

After locking the jewelry box, Wang Cheng opened the door to the restaurant in the dressing room and beckoned Jian Jian to go out.

There was a black woman sitting in the restaurant, and when she saw Wang Cheng coming out, the black woman nodded at Wang Cheng, and Wang Cheng turned around and gave a concise introduction: "This is your bodyguard, born in a French colony, with French nationality, and his English is average." But I know you know French, and you can communicate with her in French - but let me remind you that she's not protecting you, it's the jewelry. ”

Jian Jian shook his head a little hurt his self-esteem, and asked the female bodyguard a few words in French, but her question was not answered, and the eyes of the black female bodyguard were only staring at Wang Cheng. Wang Cheng smiled, turned around and returned to the dressing room, dragged the jewelry box out, nodded at the latter, the female bodyguard immediately got up, nervously followed Wang Cheng to the master bedroom on the fourth floor, followed briefly and inexplicably, watched Wang Cheng come to the bedroom on the fourth floor, opened the vault connected to the bedroom with the password, and then locked the lockbox into the vault in a concise and shocked gaze.
