With the increase of buyers who are keen to collect in China, the spring auction of XiangJS Bifu will attract the attention of many buyers every year. And this year's Subi Fu Spring Auction still attracted many powerful buyers to participate.

When it comes to the privacy protection of commissioned auctions and bidders, Subi Fu also has an auction hotline, and some people can auction their favorite antique relics or artworks through telephone auctions even if they are not on site.

Xu Haibao, who has been in Xiangjiang for a while, in addition to finding a professional manager for the company, also rented a small villa in Repulse Bay in Xiangjiang. The cost of staying in a hotel every day is still a bit of a waste of money!

Even if Xu Haibao now has a net worth of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, he really wants to buy a villa in Repulse Bay to buy a property, this money is really not enough. Not to mention that those luxury villas can't afford it, even the small villas he rents can't afford now.

Thinking of this, Xu Haibao couldn't help but sigh, 'I'm still a poor man!'

As the commissioner of this spring auction, Xu Haibao's five lots have attracted a lot of attention from buyers. Among them, the most popular and consulted by buyers is the Ming Chenghua Doucai teapot.

In addition, among the remaining four lots, two gold and silver ingots from the Ming Dynasty official treasury are also interested in small and medium-sized buyers. The number of official collections like this is scarce, and there is a lot of room for appreciation in the collection.

When Xu Haibao took Tang Xingyou and Wang Yuzhu, who had arrived in Xiangjiang, appeared at the scene of the spring auction. Tang Siming, who came out to welcome him, also said enthusiastically: "Mr. Xu, hello! These two are your friends?"

"Well, these two are my best friends, this is Mr. Tang and this is Mr. Wang, and they all came with me to see the excitement. Can you find me a small private room, I don't like to appear in public. ”

"Of course, Mr. Xu, please come here!"

As the executive manager of the auction house, Tang Siming's vision of people is naturally not bad. Judging from the steps and movements of Tang and Wang, Tang Siming finally realized why he felt a little awkward when he saw Xu Haibao last time.

The reason is very simple, compared with ordinary people, Xu Haibao's behavior is somewhat stereotypical. Now seeing the other two, Tang Siming finally knows the reason. That is, Xu Haibao is only afraid of the same identity as the other two, he is a soldier!

With this speculation, Tang Siming also became more cautious and cautious, as a native of Xiangjiang, Tang Siming asked himself that he was more in awe of domestic soldiers than politicians. Everyone knows that the domestic army is still very strong!

After inviting the three of them to sit down, Xu Haibao also took out two wooden boxes in time and said, "Manager Tang, you have worked hard for my business during this time." See you at the beginning of the new year, I will give you a meeting gift, I hope Manager Tang likes it.

Another box of things, please ask your appraiser to do the appraisal. If possible, I'm going to attend the next batch of things in the United States. ”

Seeing Xu Haibao give gifts as soon as they met, Tang Siming was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Xu, our auction house has rules and cannot accept gifts from customers, and I appreciate your kindness." Serving our customers is our job in itself. ”

"Okay, since you have rules in your business, then I don't want to break the rules. The old rule, the contents of these two boxes, please help me identify them. To be honest, I need a lot of money this year and I want to sell a batch of things for money!"

"That's fine!

Although the auction is about to start, for Tang Siming, he and Xu Haibao can't pay attention to the auction. How much the lot will sell for depends ultimately on how popular the buyer is, and they just have to sit back and wait for news.

Now as soon as they met, Xu Haibao commissioned a batch of things to be auctioned, which is the best news for Tang Siming. The commission ratio he won for Xu Haibao earlier made many senior executives of the company dissatisfied!

When I saw that the contents of Xu Haibao's box were not ancient coins unique to China. After many years of wandering around the auction house, Tang Siming recognized at a glance that this was the gold and silver currency produced in Britain in the early years.

This kind of gold and silver coins are not very enthusiastic about collecting in the domestic market. Overseas, however, it is a favorite of many collectors. It's just that, thinking of what Xu Haibao said before, Tang Siming's heart couldn't help but be a little excited.

With a slightly excited and cautious expression, he said: "Mr. Xu, can you take the liberty of asking, did you mean the same collection when you said that there was a batch of commissioned auctions? If so, can you tell us the specific number?"

"There are not many silver coins, just over a hundred, but they are all of the same style. There are more than a thousand gold coins, and the one in the box is a sample. As for the other small quantities of gold coins, I don't plan to sell them for the time being. ”

On the foreign shipwreck found on Waiding Island a few days ago, Xu Haibao planned to sell the box of gold and silver coins in advance. In fact, the real value of the ship's contents was not this batch of gold coins, but a small box of porcelain.

As for those large boxes of sea-selling porcelain, Xu Haibao also plans to send them to auction at the appropriate time. Just considering that this year is going to order a salvage ship, the funds that can be obtained from this auction alone are somewhat insufficient.

In addition to Fulin Island, Xu Haibao also plans to develop Washan Island. In this case, the funds invested around the village alone may not be able to survive even tens of millions.

In addition, it is necessary to buy a yacht and purchase amusement facilities, and at least tens of millions of funds must be prepared. Even if the things sent to auction last time were estimated to be more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars. But no one knows how much it will be able to shoot in the end.

In this way, if he wants to order a high-end salvage ship, Xu Haibao needs to prepare at least twenty or thirty million funds. This also means that it is difficult to ensure that he will not have financial problems with the five things that were sent to the auction in the previous time.

If there is money earned from the auction of these gold and silver coins, Xu Haibao believes that it is almost enough. Although these coins are sold in bulk, their value will be lower than the average price of a single coin. But this batch of gold coins is believed to be of interest to many foreign collectors.

After all, the first gold and silver coins minted during the reign of George III of England were still very collectible. Of course, the most important thing is that Xu Haibao feels that he is not much interested in these foreign gold and silver coins.

Sold for money, which is more in line with his current needs!

Sure enough, knowing that Xu Haibao still had thousands of such early British gold and silver coins in his hands, Tang Siming knew very well that the appearance of these gold and silver coins at the summer auction held in the United States would also attract the attention of many European and American collectors.

"Thank you Mr. Xu for your trust in our bank, and please wait a while, I will ask the appraiser to come over!"

Not long after, not only the appraiser of the auction house came to Xu Haibao's box, but even the foreign general manager of Subifu also came in person. As an Englishman, the general manager was well aware of the value of the coins.

After Tang Siming's introduction, the general manager still smiled and asked: "Mr. Xu, can you tell me where your collection of gold coins came from? As far as I know, there are not many cases where this kind of gold coins have been found in Asia!"

"Mr. Hebrew, if I am not mistaken, you must not have such a rule, do you? Do you need to inquire about the origin of each lot? Mr. Hebrew should know that during the time of George III, your country was already trading with China, right?"

In the face of Xu Haibao's refusal to explain where these gold coins came from, he pointed out that during the reign of George III, Britain and the Qing Dynasty had already traded. Even though the Qing Dynasty later closed itself off, Britain also began to colonize Asia.

In that case, it is also very likely that someone will bring a large number of gold and silver coins from China to Asia!

Seeing that Xu Haibao asked rhetorically in proficient English in a calm tone, Benson Hebrew was really a little surprised. I already knew from Tang Siming earlier that Xu Haibao's true identity was very likely to be the soldier opposite.

As an Englishman, Hebrew was still somewhat dissatisfied with the repossession of Xiangjiang by China. It's just that as a businessman, Hebrew still knows that China's development speed is very fast, and its international status is constantly improving.

In view of Xu Haibao's very cold attitude, Hebrew, who is a merchant, still smiled and said: "I took the liberty of it! I asked Mr. Xu about the origin of this batch of gold coins, and I also hoped that it would increase its topicality during the auction!"

"Oh! Then I can tell you the origin of this batch of gold coins, which I found in a cave on an unnamed island. As far as I know, there were pirates on that island in its early years.

I also had the attitude of trying, and went to visit that nameless island, and finally found this batch of buried treasures. In addition to gold and silver coins, I also found a number of export porcelain and silver products from your country.

It's just that the rest, I don't want to sell it for the time being, and I plan to collect it for a while. I plan to commission this batch of gold and silver coins to thank you and Manager Tang for their preferential treatment to me. After all, the sincerity you gave me is still very strong!"

The sincerity that Xu Haibao said is naturally very low in the commission ratio enjoyed by Subifu. Such a verbal confrontation made Tang Xingyou, who accompanied them, stunned. In their opinion, Xu Haibao's changes are really great!
