Sanya.

Oya Auction Company.

Wu Hongyi was sitting in the office and sighing and chatting with Lu Zhengqing, who had just come back.

Since yesterday's auction announcement, there has been a lot of ridicule and arrogance that they are too arrogant to challenge a giant like Sotheby's.

Even on the first day of today's tour, they didn't dare to inquire.

Not only did they not inquire, but even the two nervously blocked all possible news related to the information of the tour.

Their strength itself is not very strong, although each of their companies in the auction industry can be regarded as the second and third lines, in other industries the second and third lines can live very nourishing, but in the auction industry, the second and third lines are equal to struggling to survive, and this auction has placed high hopes on everyone, and even they took out the treasure at the bottom of the box to auction, if the tour is not smooth, basically announced that they failed this joint auction, but the outside world is not good, and the two of them are worried about the brows are squeezed together.

The employees of Aoya Auction Company were similar, and when this group of people saw the gloating schadenfreude from the outside world, they were all worried at once.

"This ......"

"It's over, the wind review is so bad, something is going to happen in the autumn auction!"

"Alas, if the autumn auction doesn't go well, I don't know if the company will lay off employees."

"The auction industry is not easy to mix, what if you want to lay off employees? Eh, Xiao Qi, why aren't you worried at all? ”

"What am I worried about? My dad has a bit to do with the personnel manager of Xiling Seal Society, if I am laid off here, it's a big deal for my dad to go to work in Xiling Seal Society. ”

"I heard that the collision between this autumn auction and Sotheby's was made by Mr. Ji personally? Isn't that nonsense? ”

"This Mr. Ji is young and too idealistic, he doesn't know the cruelty of the auction industry, how can we have the strength to compete with Sotheby's? This time, it is estimated that a lot of customers will be snatched away. ”

"Alas, I only hope that Mr. Wu will not lay off employees now, and I really don't want to look for a job again."

"Me too, but if the autumn auction doesn't go well, layoffs are likely to happen, so prepare early."

However, just when everyone was worried, the staff member of the Ministry of Commerce, known as Xiao Qi, received a phone call, and he didn't pay attention at that time, just picked it up and said formulaically: "Hey, hello, this is 'Ancient and Modern Treasures' Joint Autumn Auction Customer Service Center Aoya Auction Co., Ltd., how can I help you?" ”

Opposite was a middle-aged man's voice, "I want to participate in your auction, but I can't go through the registration procedures and pay the deposit for the time being, what do I need to do if I ask someone to handle the formalities on my behalf?"

Yes?

Are you going to our auction?

Xiao Qi is stupid, you must know that today's auction called "Ancient and Modern Treasures" has just started the tour, and the first day of the tour has not ended.

He thought it was a coincidence, but he dutifully explained the procedure.

Hanging up the phone, Xiao Qi looked at a few colleagues and said with a smile: "You must not have imagined that there are really people who want to participate in our ......."

Before the words were finished, a few colleagues who were waiting for Xiao Qi to finish speaking, suddenly heard a rapid phone ringing in their ears, or several!

Jingle bells!

Jingle bells!

Almost all the customer service calls of the Ministry of Commerce rang!

"Ouch!"

"What's going on?"

"Why are there so many calls?"

A group of people didn't know what was going on, and one of the female customer service staff thought it was a prank, so she casually answered the phone, "Hello, this is the customer service center of the 'Ancient and Modern Treasures' auction...... Yes? What did you say? There are six people from your side who are going to participate in our autumn auction? You...... Are you sure? Is it really six people...... Ah, I didn't mean that...... Okay, okay, I'll register you first, and then I'll officially go through the formalities and pay the deposit when you come over! ”

The same goes for a couple of other agents over there, "What? Eight of you coming? Let me book a hotel first? ”

Hanging up the phone, the young man who spoke earlier turned his head to look to the side in shock, "I...... Did I hear me right? There were actually seven or eight people who came to participate in the auction? ”

Their manager also received the call, and hung up the phone in shock: "Mr. Liu Xiong, a famous rich man in Xiangjiang, said that he is also coming to participate in our autumn auction!" This is a billionaire! Still a top collector! ”

Another female customer service also exclaimed, "Am I dreaming? The first day of the tour has not yet ended, so many people consult the procedures for participating in the auction? Speaking of this, she thought of something, "Xiao Qi, what did you just say?" ”

Xiao Qi's whole person is stupid, one is a coincidence, is it still a coincidence?

……

Boss's office.

The manager of the Ministry of Commerce rushed in without even knocking on the door, "Boss! He walked in and saw that Lu Zhengqing was also there, and hurriedly became a little polite, "Mr. Lu." ”

Lu Zhengqing knew him and said with a smile: "Lao Huang, what's the surprise?" I'm here, you Mr. Wu won't blame anything for losing face, and maybe he'll clean you up when I'm gone. ”

"Am I like that kind of person, one before and one after another?" Wu Hongyi couldn't cry or laugh, and at the same time looked at Lao Huang, "Manager Huang, is there another reporter who came to interview us to challenge Sotheby's mentality?" Just stop people, I know we don't have a good reputation, but what kind of mess are these reporters making. ”

Lao Huang pointed outside in disbelief, "Old ...... Boss, a lot...... A lot of people are going to participate in our autumn auction! ”

Wu Hongyi hasn't spoken yet.

Lu Zhengqing laughed and said: "You old Huang, do you still have the heart to joke at this time?" ”

"No kidding! I'm not kidding! Lao Huang was very excited, "There are really many people who call to inquire about the procedures for participating in the filming!" In just a short period of time, we have received forty or fifty inquiries from customers! Even Mr. Liu Xiong, a billionaire in Hong Kong, said that he wanted to participate! Now the phone from the Ministry of Commerce is still ringing! ”

Lu Zhengqing stood up suddenly when he heard this, and his eyes widened, "This ...... It's true? ”

Wu Hongyi also inhaled, "Are so many people really here to participate?" ”

Lao Huang's voice trembled when he spoke, "Really! It's true! Boss, what now? The people over there are too busy! ”

"Immediately transfer people from other departments to your side to help!" Lu Zhengqing issued an order on behalf of Yue Yu: "I will contact Mr. Zou and them now!" Let them send someone to help you, too! There must be enough manpower, otherwise it is not good for customers to come to handle the procedures for participating in the auction, and immediately disclose the news to the media, so that the outside world knows how much we are favored by collectors in this autumn auction! ”

……

At night.

It was getting dark.

Ji Sheng came back after watching the tour.

"Mr. Niu, have you finished eating with Mr. Gao?"

"Eat, but it's not just with Lao Gao, hehe."

"Huh? Who are these people? ”

"The people you asked me to invite, they are all famous white-glove auctioneers, eh, by the way, Mr. Ji, have you eaten?"

"Not yet."

"Okay, you can get to know everyone before you go to dinner."

Under Niu Yuanzhong's introduction, Ji Sheng met three other top auctioneers in addition to Gao Mingde, namely Zhang You, the former chief auctioneer of Guardian like Gao Mingde, Ms. Wang Jing, a top auctioneer borrowed from Rongbao by Niu Yuanzhong, Ye Ming, another white-glove auctioneer who had just left Poly, and Liu Yun, the last auctioneer who retired from Xiling Seal Society.

This group of white-glove auctioneers is still very good, especially Mr. Gao Mingde, this person has won five white gloves, and he is a general existence in the auctioneer industry, if it weren't for Niu Yuanzhong's good relationship with him, he wouldn't be able to invite him at all.

As for the rest of them, they were all invited by Niu Yuanzhong to spend a lot of money, and they were all ready to sacrifice their fame this time, there was no way, Niu Yuanzhong gave too much, and they couldn't refuse.

Ji Sheng greeted several white-glove auctioneers after getting to know each other.

Zhang You said quite embarrassedly: "Mr. Ji, your comments on this autumn auction are really ...... It's ......."

Of course, Ji Sheng knew what he wanted to say, and took the initiative to smile and said, "The wind review is not very good, right?" ”

"To tell the truth, if it weren't for Mr. Niu's strong invitation, I really wouldn't dare to preside over such a bad auction." Wang Jing half-jokingly said sincerely: "If the transaction rate is not good, a few of us can be regarded as Waterloo in the industry, and we may not be able to raise our heads in the future." ”

Ji Sheng laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't let your reputation be ruined." ”

These people obviously showed a look of disbelief, they are all capable, but if there are not many customers present, they are just clever women who have no rice, and the transaction rate will not be high.

As he was talking, Ji Sheng's stomach growled, he had not eaten since he had been staring at the tour exhibition in the morning, and he was already hungry.

Niu Yuanzhong heard it, but he wanted Ji Sheng to hurry up and go to dinner, but these white-glove auctioneers just said a few words to Ji Sheng, he couldn't let people go, otherwise they would be disrespectful to these auctioneers, and what should they do if they ran away angrily? Originally, their auction reviews were not very good, so he was counting on these auctioneers to improve the transaction rate.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Ding-dong, ding-dong, and I don't know who it is.

Niu Yuanzhong took the initiative to stand up and said, "I'll open the door, you guys talk first." As he walked out, he shouted, "Who?" ”

Before the door opened, Lu Zhengqing's excited voice came from outside, "Lao Niu, it's me and I'm me, open the door quickly!" Open the door! I have something to see Mr. Ji! ”

Niu Yuanzhong sighed in his heart, and hurriedly ran over to open the door, only to see that it was Lu Zhengqing who was standing outside the door, he already had a bad premonition, and hurriedly asked, "Aren't you going back to Sanya?" ”

"It's back to Sanya." Lu Zhengqing walked in the Qing Dynasty, he seemed to be trotting over, and he was a little out of breath when he spoke, "Isn't this a big incident, I specially flew to the capital to find you again." ”

Ji Sheng also stood up at this time and poked his head out and said, "Mr. Lu, are you here?" ”

As he spoke, he also introduced Lu Zhengqing to several top auctioneers.

Ouch!

As soon as the tour ended, Lu Zhengqing chased after him from Sanya, and I am afraid that something really happened.

Could it be that the touring exhibition is very unsatisfactory?
