The appraisal of the collection has been completed.

But the collaboration has only just begun.

Although it was already past one o'clock in the morning, everyone was in good spirits.

Ji Sheng, Lu Zhengqing and others talked from the target appraisal workshop to a small conference room.

It's a bit like a meeting room, with a sofa and coffee machine in addition to a small conference table.

Except for Master Cheng, no one else followed up, because at this time, what we had to talk about was the content of the cooperation, and the person in charge of the company could make a decision.

Ji Sheng is the boss of ancient and modern art, but he is the shopkeeper, and the specific cooperation content has to be handed over to the general manager, Master Cheng, to negotiate.

He drank coffee to refresh himself, after all, he didn't have unlimited physical strength in modern society, and it was so late that people were really sleepy.

On the contrary, it was Lu Zhengqing, Zou Qingqiu and other people who were crying out for sleepiness before, and they were all in good spirits at the moment, and they couldn't see any signs of sleepiness at all.

As the saying goes, people are in good spirits when they are happy, Ji Sheng brought them such a big surprise, everyone is still excited, how can they be sleepy?

"In fact, there is nothing to talk about in terms of specific cooperation content, and many businesses are outsourced to other companies, such as publicity, touring exhibitions, etc., and there are professional companies to serve us." Lu Zhengqing smiled and said: "We have cooperated with those professional companies several times in the joint auction before, and now we can just talk about the cost." ”

Master Cheng said, "How much does it cost?" You say. ”

Ji Sheng listened carefully.

Lu Zheng cleared his throat and said: "First of all, the venue rent, this time we want to bring customers a unique form of auction, so the venue is rented in the conference hall of the Atlantis Hotel, of course, there must be more than one conference hall rented, these we have talked to the person in charge of the hotel, the three-day auction, counting the rent in other aspects, the total cost is 10.5 million." ”

Ji Sheng bowed slightly, and it could be seen from the venue rental fee that the scale of this joint auction would not be small, even if it was not as good as Sotheby's, Guardian and other giants, it was not far behind.

"Then there's the catalogue." Lu Zhengqing introduced in detail, "Before the auction, we have to prepare the catalogue of the collection to be auctioned, a small catalogue will invite many famous artists to make, originally we were going to spend three or five hundred yuan for a volume, but after looking at the collection brought by Mr. Ji and ancient and modern art, we decided to keep up with Sotheby's, Christie's and other giants, the production price of a catalogue is about 1,000 yuan, everyone has no opinion on my decision, right?"

"Nope."

"Indeed, there are too many high-quality products this time."

"Just these targets brought by Mr. Ji should be well-made."

Wu Hongyi, Zou Qingqiu, Tian Liangping and others responded.

Ji Sheng suddenly spoke: "The catalogue is to be made exquisitely, I invited a lot of heavyweight VIPs to come over this time, if the catalogue is simple, I really can't get it." ”

"Huh? Mr. Ji, you invited a lot of heavyweight VIPs? Niu Yuanzhong looked over in surprise.

Others also looked at it in surprise, they had heard Lu Zhengqing say that Ji Sheng did not have core customer resources, so they were not very happy to become the main company of this joint auction, but now Ji Sheng said that he would invite many heavyweight guests?

This surprised and intrigued them.

Lu Zhengqing asked curiously, "Mr. Ji, who have you invited over?" ”

Many people in the world's treasures Ji Sheng still don't know their true identities, and this can only be counted after the location and date of the joint auction are determined, so he simply told the people who knew their identities, "For example, Yun Tianming and Chen Fengqi are ......."

"Ouch."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Zhengqing lost his voice and said: "You have invited Yun Tianming and Chen Fengqi, two masters of the entertainment industry?" ”

Wu Hongyi was also slightly surprised: "Brother Chen Qifeng is a top master in the calligraphy and painting collection industry, he has a lot of works by Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian and other masters, and he is a well-known figure in the calligraphy and painting industry. ”

Zou Qingqiu followed: "Yun Lao plays with jade a lot, legend has it that he has a private small museum-level collection, which is full of strange stones from all over the world, and calligraphy, painting, and porcelain are involved, if he can come, he will definitely be able to drive a lot of people." ”

Ji Sheng had long known that Yun Lao and Chen Lao were very famous in the literary circle, but he didn't expect to be so famous.

What does it mean to be a top collector?

I thought it had a lot of wealth.

Naturally, top collectors are welcomed by every auction house, and it is normal to be known by those in the auction industry.

Tian Liangping said with interest: "In addition to these two, who else did you invite over?" ”

Master Cheng also looked at Ji Sheng, his eyes were full of curiosity, he wanted to know how well his boss had a wide network in society in addition to his powerful ability to collect collections.

Ji Sheng said unhurriedly, "Oh, Ning Yulan, Zhang Changyong......"

This time he didn't finish his words, Lu Zhengqing interrupted with a strange look: "You have such a good relationship with Xiaoxia, won't it be a problem to invite Lao Zhang over?" And why do the names of these people sound so familiar? It seems that they are all people in the world's curiosities? ”

"Lao Zhang and Xiaoxia are nothing, I saw her say hello to Lao Zhang last time." Ji Sheng replied casually, "Well, it's true that they are all people in the world's rare groups, and you are also there?" ”

"Huh? Is it really the people in the group? I'm not in that group, I'm not qualified to go in at all, and although I have a lot of wealth, that group doesn't look down on me at all. Lu Zhengqing's eyes widened and he explained, and said in disbelief: "Except for a few antique dealers in this group who can get really good things, the others are all bigwigs in the entertainment circle, and a few people are worth tens of billions, ...... How many people did you invite from this group? ”

Perhaps because he was so surprised, he was stunned as he spoke.

Niu Yuanzhong, Zou Qingqiu and others also seem to have some understanding of the world's rare groups, which are almost equivalent to the existence of a temple for many people who play collecting, because the people who can enter this group are either top collectors, or collectors with amazing wealth, or antique dealers who can get rare treasures.

Otherwise, do you really think that group of dignitaries and nobles are full of food and hold on to a group name called "Treasures of the World"?

Ji Sheng can even get a chicken bowl cup, and they are not surprised to be able to enter this group.

Surprisingly, Ji Sheng actually had such a good relationship with the group of bigwigs who played collecting in the world's treasures, and invited several of them to participate in the joint auction at once.

Of course, Lu Zhengqing and the others had to ask how many Ji Sheng had invited to come, and this level of bigwig collectors, they should treat each other with courtesy and serve them comfortably in all directions.

Ji Sheng didn't know the surprise in everyone's hearts, but said honestly: "About forty or fifty people from the group were invited over. ”

Lu Zhengqing: "......"

Zou Qingqiu: "......"

Niu Yuanzhong and others: "......"

Even Master Cheng's heart was shaking, he didn't expect Ji Sheng's connections to be so broad, it was already very good for a big man of this level to invite a few people to participate in the auction, Ji Sheng actually invited forty or fifty at once?

What kind of energy are you!

Of course, they didn't know that the group of bigwigs in the world's treasures were not looking at Ji Sheng's face, but coming for the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup.

But Lu Zhengqing: They don't know.

When this group of people heard that Ji Sheng was so awesome, their attitude towards him suddenly changed again, from the professional smirk at the beginning, to seeing the sincerity of the target brought by Ji Sheng to make friends, and now hearing that he has brought a large group of bigwig-level VIPs, inexplicably, Lu Zhengqing, Zou Qingqiu and Tian Liangping felt that they were half a head shorter in front of Ji Sheng.

The next details of the cooperation were originally supposed to be led by Lu Zhengqing, but the result turned out to be that they asked for Ji Sheng's opinion.

"Mr. Ji, what do you think about the construction?"

"If you think there is a suitable manpower company, you can also take the initiative to recommend it."

"Don't worry about such trivial things as monitoring, display boards, and picture frames, Mr. Ji, I'll take care of it."

"If it is publicized, Mr. Ji, do you think we should invite provincial TV stations, online media, or national propaganda to publicize?"

Ji Sheng was made to laugh and cry by the sudden change of attitude of this group of people, he organized an auction for the first time, where did he understand these aspects, and finally shirked all of them to Lu Zhengqing, Zou Qingqiu and others to handle.

The approximate budget for the cost is 29.5 million yuan, and their six companies share it equally, about 4.92 million yuan per company, and at the end of the total, they simply calculate it according to 30 million, and everyone takes 5 million each, and refunds more and makes up for less.

Ji Sheng has no opinions, there is investment to gain, the more customers come to participate in the auction, the more collections they collect to be auctioned, the more transactions they collect, naturally no one is reluctant to spend money.

After chatting about business, initialize the contract.

When Master Cheng stamped the contract on behalf of Gujin Art Company, the atmosphere in the conference room became relaxed from the beginning.

Although it was getting late, everyone did not go back to rest, but sat and chatted about other things.

At first, everyone was still chatting about some things in terms of cooperation, but chatting and chatting soon turned into talking about their respective industries.

For example, in addition to clearing Zhenli Auction Company, Lu Zheng is also engaged in the supply and processing of jewelry raw materials, and he has simple cooperation with local branches such as Chow Tai Fook and Lao Miao.

Wu Hongyi's industry is more interesting, in addition to being engaged in the auction industry, he is also one of the largest fruit suppliers in Sanya.

Ji Sheng found it quite interesting, auction and fruit were originally two different industries, and Wu Hongyi was actually involved in their own affairs.

Originally, he was going to go back to sleep after chatting a few words, but who would have thought that when Niu Yuanzhong suddenly talked about the company's industry, Ji Sheng became interested.

"In addition to auctions and collectibles, we also have well-established subsidiaries in medicine, construction, and finance." Niu Yuanzhong smiled and said: "Last year, our company obtained 34.5 million shares of the controlling shareholder of Asia-Pacific Pharmaceutical through judicial auction, and now holds a total of 10.75 shares. ”

Are pharmaceutical companies involved?

Ji Sheng suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "Then does your company's pharmaceutical company produce hepatitis B vaccine?" ”

"Yes, it's just that I have to pay other people's patent fees every year, not my own vaccine." Niu Yuanzhong explained casually and asked rhetorically: "Mr. Ji is interested in the pharmaceutical industry?" ”

Of course, Ji Sheng is not interested in the pharmaceutical industry, he is interested in the hepatitis B vaccine, before he promised to build an army in the 80s to help Huaxia and Merck get in touch with Merck to win the hepatitis B vaccine, Merck is Merck, but Merck in the beautiful country can call itself and be called Merck, but in other countries in the world, Merck should be called Merck.

Although Ji Sheng has no contact with Merck & Co., it stands to reason that he can't help much, but the founder of Futai Pharmaceutical, whom he invested in before, Joshua . Borg came out of Merck, so he knew that if he used Joshua. The Borg line still has the opportunity to meet with Merck's senior management to discuss the vaccine.

It's just that there may be some big costs to be paid for doing so.

Paying the price Ji Sheng is not afraid, for the health and safety of 1.1 billion compatriots in the eighties, he feels that it is worth paying some costs, not to mention, the price he paid will not be in vain, the high-level Chinese leaders in the eighties will definitely think of him, and there will be someone to support him when he opens a company and does everything.

But the problem is that the hepatitis B vaccine in the eighties was defective and would reduce human fertility.

This is not because some people on the Internet have conspiracy theories that Merck deliberately cheated on China, after all, the United States is also using such a hepatitis B vaccine, and it can only be said that the technology is incomplete.

Modern society is a foregone conclusion, Ji Sheng is powerless to change anything, but in the 80s, he could, and if he could go back with advanced hepatitis B vaccine technology, he could also create huge wealth in the 80s.

Naturally, when he heard Niu Yuanzhong say this, he couldn't help but ask a few questions.

"I don't dare to touch the pharmaceutical industry." Ji Sheng shook his head, and then said with a smile: "It's just that I'm personally more interested in various vaccine technologies, such as the production process of hepatitis B vaccine, core genetic engineering, etc., what is it like?" As he spoke, he also pretended to joke, "Of course, I know that these are the secrets of major pharmaceutical companies, and I am just interested." ”

"It's no secret." Niu Yuanzhong said casually: "Now is the information age, everyone earns patent fees, how can pharmaceutical companies that do not hand over the production process and core genetic engineering to produce vaccines, right?" Take the pharmaceutical company under my group as an example, in fact, the production process and core genetic engineering data of the hepatitis B vaccine are available, but even if I give it to a random person, will he dare to produce the hepatitis B vaccine? I definitely don't dare, not to mention that private pharmaceuticals are illegal, let's just say that in terms of patents, if you dare to produce, the company with the patent will dare to sue you for bankruptcy. ”

This is not Niu Yuanzhong's nonsense, take Ah San's side as an example, Ah San Pharmaceutical never gives patent fees, so where does their core technology come from? If the core technology of the pharmaceutical industry is really in the hands of various large pharmaceutical companies, Ah San will have no chance to obtain the core technology and then make it into a finished drug.

Generally speaking, if large pharmaceutical companies want to earn patent fees, they will basically give enough to the core technology of the company that has purchased the patent, not only to give the technology, but also to send people to train or something, so that the company that buys the patent has independent production capacity.

Even a lot of medical technology can be searched on the Internet.

Some people are even self-taught, such as Nanyun Kunming's father, who in order to save his son's life, made medicine himself, so that the child, who could only live for 19 months, successfully survived.

In the era of information technology, many of the technologies that were cherished by brooms in the past have become no longer mysterious.

For example, it is normal for a pharmaceutical company under Niu Yuanzhong Group to buy patents and have core technologies and production processes.

Ji Sheng understood all these truths, but he was shocked when he heard them, since technology is not a secret, can it be obtained?

Thinking of this, he blinked and said, "Then Niu Dong, can you give me some detailed production process and core genetic engineering information?" ”

Niu Yuanzhong didn't think much about it, "If you are really interested, I will ask someone to give you information when you go back, but I warn you in advance, don't make a private medicine, this piece is very strictly controlled by the state." ”

Ji Sheng hurriedly promised: "No, I'm not that stupid." ”

Well, he really wasn't that stupid, and he didn't think about making pharmaceuticals in modern society, but he wanted to bring the hepatitis B vaccine technology back to the 80s.

How much money does Merck make with the help of hepatitis B vaccine technology?

Don't dare to say anything else, just providing Huaxia hepatitis B vaccine technology cheaply has made Merck earn 60 billion dollars less!

If Ji Sheng can return to the 80s with the most advanced hepatitis B vaccine technology, and then support Futai Pharmaceutical, or directly set up a pharmaceutical company himself, he can earn billions of dollars every year!

Billions a year!

Ji Sheng couldn't help but get excited when he thought of it, once he gained a lot of wealth in the eighties, he could collect more resources and take them back to the modern society, thus transforming them into huge wealth.

Get rich!

As long as Niu Yuanzhong is willing to provide hepatitis B vaccine technology.

Ji Sheng knew that his fortune this time was likely to exceed his imagination, which was countless times greater than his harvest in this joint auction!
