Standing at the hotel window, looking down at the night view of Victoria Harbor not far away, Xu Haibao, who had just arrived from China, seemed to have a lot of feelings. Once upon a time, he enjoyed such a night view many times in this hotel.

This time to revisit the old place, Xu Haibao still feels quite magical. It's just a secret about being born again, and I don't think anyone will ever know about it. For this city that he has stopped many times in his previous life, Xu Haibao also feels very kind.

As for the early delivery of the lots, it is also to catch the first spring auction of the year. Although he had never auctioned anything in his previous life, Xu Haibao followed the boss of the salvage company and also understood some procedures and rules of the Xiangjiang Auction House.

It's just that for Xu Haibao, he used to come over to see the excitement, but this time he came to send things to the auction. For a few pieces of Chenghua Doucai porcelain preserved in the nameless beads, Xu Haibao has a little bit of a bottom on their transaction prices.

But Xu Haibao knew how much that two years later, at an auction in Xiangjiang, a small Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup was auctioned for a sky-high price of nearly 300 million. So this time to send the auction, Xu Haibao hopes to have reservations.

After all, in terms of the current market situation, the collection price of Ming Chenghua Doucai has not yet reached its peak. If you shoot all of them now, I'm afraid that you will suffer a little. Therefore, Xu Haibao finally chose to auction two pieces of porcelain first.

One of them is a large straight jar, according to the information found on the Internet, Xu Haibao feels that the transaction price of this porcelain should be about 10 million Hong Kong dollars. As for the porcelain in the second auction, it was a teapot.

Among the teacups that match the teapot, there are four teacups that Xu Haifu believes are the most valuable, and they are engraved with the words and patterns of 'Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter'. If it is taken out for auction, I believe that this set of Four Seasons teacups will be highly sought after.

In addition to these two pieces of Chenghua Doucai, Xu Haibao also plans to send a piece of Ming blue and white porcelain. Although the price of Ming blue and white is not as good as that of Yuan blue and white flowers, which are currently sought after by the market, the potential for collection is still very high.

At least in Xu Haibao's opinion, the three pieces of porcelain he sent for auction are very good in terms of quality and color. The transaction amount of these three pieces of porcelain is enough for him to do investment immigration in Xiangjiang next.

In addition, Xu Haibao also plans to auction two gold and silver ingots from the Ming Dynasty. As far as the current auction market is concerned, the gold and silver ingots of the Ming Dynasty that are of good quality and come from the official treasury are actually rare, and the collection potential is still very large.

Xu Haibao, who decided to send something to take a photo, took a shower and changed his clothes, quickly took a taxi and came to the well-known antique street in Xiangjiang. Xu Haibao came here, naturally not to buy antiques, but to buy a few boxes.

On this antique street, there are many merchants who specialize in making antique boxes. Of course, there are still shops selling antiques on this street. It's just that in terms of price, for many newcomers here, they don't dare to sell easily.

After all, if you don't have a little eyesight, no one dares to guarantee that the so-called genuine product is not artificially old. If you spend a lot of money to buy a fake, it will be a real loss of money and shame!

Walking along the antique street, you can see the so-called antiques displayed in many shops. Xu Haibao was not very interested, and went directly to a shop in the middle of the street that specialized in selling all kinds of boxes.

After spending more than 2,000 Hong Kong dollars, Xu Haibao purchased five boxes of different sizes in one go. Regarding the size and specifications of the five things sent for auction, Xu Haibao naturally knows it. After buying the box, Xu Haibao didn't stay here for long.

As for visiting the night market in Xiangjiang, Xu Haibao felt that it was not too late to finish the business first, and then go shopping after leisure. In addition, Xu Haibao has been to many places in Xiangjiang in his previous life, and if he revisits the land, there is not much freshness.

As a world-renowned Asian financial center, world-renowned auction companies have branches in Xiangjiang. This time, Xu Haibao went first to the London-based Subi Fu Auction Company.

In his previous life, Xu Haibao, who followed the person in charge of the salvage company, also participated in several auctions held by Subifu. It's just that at that time, Xu Haibao paid more attention to the lot sent by the company, and what price could be sold in the end.

After all, some salvage companies will also give corresponding bonuses to salvage personnel depending on the specific price of the salvaged items after selling the salvaged items. The higher the selling price, the more bonuses the salvage crew will share.

Xu Haibao, who took a taxi and carried a large lockbox, quickly appeared at the door of Subifu's company. The reception staff at the front desk, looking at Xu Haibao who entered the door, greeted him professionally.

"Hello sir, and welcome to Subifu Auction House. What can I do for you?"

"Hello, I have a few things that I plan to participate in your company's Spring Auction. Can you take me to your laboratory?"

"Yes, thank you very much for your trust in our auction house, in order to facilitate the appraisal of Mr.'s lots, what is the item that Mr. needs to auction? ”

"Porcelain! porcelain of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Okay, sir, please!"

Xu Haibao still knows some of the processes of sending shots. Although Xu Haibao knew many appraisers and managers of this company, it was the first time in this life, and Xu Haibao could only pretend to be there for the first time.

When the reception staff led Xu Haibao into the room dedicated to entertaining guests, the receptionist also politely brought Xu Haibao a cup of coffee. Not long after, Subifu's managers and appraisers appeared in the reception room.

Looking at the middle-aged man who walked into the room, Xu Haibao recognized it at a glance, this was Tang Siming, the executive manager of Subifu. After the other party introduced himself, Xu Haibao also said politely: "Manager Tang, hello!"

After introducing each other, Xu Haibao didn't say much, and opened the lockbox in front of everyone. He took out one of the large boxes and said, "This is the first lot I sent for auction, please take a look!"

As the box was opened, several appraisers quickly began to identify the large, straight can, wearing gloves. For the porcelain sent for auction, Subifu's appraisers will first conduct an appraisal.

The purpose of this is simple: to make sure that the items that are auctioned do not appear fake. After all, for a well-known auction company, if a fake is sold at auction, it will also have a significant impact on the company's reputation.

"Mr. Xu, after our appraisal team unanimously determined that the porcelain you sent for auction is undoubtedly genuine. This is a very typical Chenghua Doucai straight jar, the condition is well preserved, it is a very rare boutique. ”

"Thank you, please help me to appraise the next lot!"

He took out a small box and opened it in front of everyone. Seeing this teapot, many appraisers suddenly felt that their eyes lit up. After all, Chenghua Doucai porcelain like this is still very rare in the world.

The rarer something is, the more valuable it is. In addition, the condition is so well preserved, it is indeed a rare fine porcelain. These two pieces of porcelain alone are going to be auctioned in the spring, so naturally there is no problem.

Even seeing these two pieces of porcelain that have been confirmed as genuine one after another, Tang Siming, the executive manager in charge of reception, is also very happy. For him, if he can negotiate this business, he can also charge a lot of commissions for the company.

After all, the profit of an auction company depends largely on the collection of auction commissions. The higher the value of the item sent by the customer, the higher the commission charged by the auction company. Correspondingly, the more money the auction company makes.

When the third piece of Ming blue and white was also identified as genuine, looking at the three pieces of porcelain on the appraisal table, Tang Siming knew that the rest of the work was to discuss the rules and rules of the auction with Xu Haibao.

Just didn't wait for Tang Siming to speak, Xu Haibao was also very careful to put the three pieces of porcelain back into the box, and said with a calm expression: "Manager Tang, I plan to send these three lots to auction in the near future." Your company is the first company I sent to auction.

Regarding the value of my three lots, I believe that I don't need to say anything, Manager Tang should know better than me. I would now like to hear what percentage of your commission you will take on your estimate of my three lots. ”

Xu Haibao didn't say the rest of the words, but Tang Siming knew very well that if his answer was next, he couldn't satisfy Xu Haibao. Perhaps these three lots may be sent to other auction houses.

If you want to keep Xu Haibao's three auction items, you will inevitably need to make some concessions in commissions. How to satisfy Xu Haibao and not let the company suffer too much is what Tang Siming needs to discuss with Xu Haibao next.

But Tang Siming knows very well that no auction company will refuse these three lots sent by Xu Haibao. After all, as the executive manager of the auction house, Tang Siming knew very well that these three pieces of porcelain were rare fine porcelain in recent years.

Compared with the current collection market, the more common Qing imitation Chenghua Doucai, these three pieces of porcelain are real Ming Dynasty Chenghua Doucai porcelain. The condition and preservation are so good, it is also very attractive to buyers who love to collect porcelain!
