Arrogant!

Ji Sheng's quote of "ask the vast earth, who is the master of ups and downs" is really arrogant!

And as long as everyone who pays attention to the joint auction of ancient and modern art and the Sotheby's War knows who he is aiming for, yes, it is aimed at the senior vice president of Sotheby's!

The people are happy to see it!

The media even watched the excitement and rushed to report it.

Everyone wanted to see how Sotheby's would respond, and they wanted to see how those who wanted to see the jokes of Ji Sheng and the joint auction of ancient and modern art would be.

However, in the face of Sotheby's huge total turnover of 337 million yuan, Sotheby's did not respond to the outside world, and those who had previously questioned the joint auction of Ji Sheng and ancient and modern art were also silent.

Some people even secretly deleted the Weibo posts and comments that questioned Ji Sheng and the joint auction of ancient and modern art, as if nothing had happened.

In the end, ancient and modern art had the last laugh in this battle.

It's business as usual.

The Earth is still moving.

Ancient and modern art is a hit this autumn!

……

At night.

Accountants are accounting for their finances.

Some customers don't pay cash directly, but they have signed a contract and will arrive within a week.

Ji Sheng hadn't had time to see how much money he had made in this joint auction, and he didn't go to see it immediately, because there was something more important.

Atlantis.

Ji Sheng took Lu Zhengqinggang to accompany Fan Zeng, Fan Yang and Wang Jiaxun back to the room.

A few people sat down and chatted for a while.

Tomorrow these masters will go back, Ji Sheng wants to take advantage of this time to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with them, not just the kind of talk, but the kind of real knife and gun to sign the contract.

"Teacher Fan, with all due respect, can I make an excessive request to you?" Ji Sheng took the initiative to open his voice.

Fan Zeng drank tea and said with a smile: "What's the matter, you just say it." ”

Ji Sheng and Master Cheng glanced at each other, and then said: "That's right, you also know that our auction was a great success and won a lot of turnover, and the main direction of our company in the future will definitely be towards collectibles trading and auctions, but ancient and modern art companies are relatively weak in the collection of calligraphy and paintings, you see...... Can you please give us calligraphy and paintings? ”

This is not Ji Sheng's modesty.

In the 80s, many collections were easy to collect, like porcelain, even if they were exactly the same, it could be said that the same batch was fired in a kiln, and it would not arouse suspicion at all, not to mention jade, as long as there was no inscription on it, there was almost no possibility of a crash.

But the calligraphy and painting are different.

Every famous calligraphy and painting has traces to follow.

Unless Ji Sheng finds the lost calligraphy and paintings in the current time and space every time in the 80s, it is possible not to arouse any suspicion, but the question is, how easy is it to do this?

Therefore, he knows that the most direct way is to make an appointment with the top calligraphy and painting masters, and when the time comes, you can also draw commissions, and you can buy them and auction them yourself, anyway, it is a sure thing.

Fan Zeng was silent for a while, "You mean to let me give your company a special supply of calligraphy and painting works?" ”

Ji Sheng smiled and said: "I know it may be difficult for you to do this, but if you are willing, the conditions given by my side will definitely not be bad." ”

Fan Zeng thought about it, did not directly refuse, nor did he agree immediately, but said: "In this way, I put forward two conditions, you can do it, I can give your company my works exclusively in the future, and guarantee no less than ten calligraphy and paintings every year." ”

Fan Zeng's ten calligraphy and paintings!

You must know that the market price of his current works is estimated to be as high as 800,000 to 2 million square feet, even if each calligraphy and painting is calculated according to 10 square feet, Ji Sheng can be charged with between 80 million and 200 million yuan every year, and if the auction is good, Ji Sheng will earn more.

Ji Sheng and Master Cheng were both moved when they heard it.

"You say." Ji Sheng was very polite.

Fan Zeng glanced at Fan Yang next to him, "The first condition was said before, I want you to get me the teacher's "Book of Flowers and Birds". He paused, "As for the second request, I want you to make my nephew popular." ”

Fan Yang was silent beside him.

The three masters, Wang Jiaxun, Lu Yishun and Feng Yuan, were full of envy.

Of course, Ji Sheng understands what Fan Zeng means, generally speaking, the fastest way for a calligrapher to be popular is to get enough turnover and turnover at the auction, of course, a single piece at a high price is also one of the shortcuts to popularity, and it is not who praises your work to test whether a calligrapher is good, but real money.

Fan Yang is already very popular to a certain extent, but the limit of this popularity, not to mention the popularity of the global art world, just in China, many people are pressuring this master.

Therefore, although the price of Fan Yang's calligraphy and painting is not cheap, the price of one square foot is basically more than 100,000 yuan, and it cannot be compared with a real master like Fan Zeng between 800,000 and 2 million per square foot.

Ji Sheng pondered for a while, and felt that Fan Zeng's proposal was not too much, and even if he made Fan Yang popular, it would be very beneficial to his company, and more second- and third-tier artists would choose ancient and modern art when their works were sold, "Okay." ”

He agreed.

A smile appeared on Fan Zeng's wrinkled face, "Since this is the case, I will promise to only provide calligraphy and painting works to your company in the future." ”

Master Cheng was overjoyed.

Ji Sheng was also happy, "Thank you." As he spoke, he looked at Wang Jiaxun, Feng Yuan and Lu Yishun again, "A few teachers, I want to make an appointment with you to auction some works, what do you think?" If you have the opportunity, after you finish praising Teacher Fan Yang, I will praising you. ”

When Wang Jiaxun, Feng Yuan and Lu Yishun heard this, they were all overjoyed.

"Okay."

"Mr. Ji's words."

"We'll sign a contract with you."

Which calligrapher doesn't want to be popular?

Wang Jiaxun, Feng Yuan and Lu Yishun naturally want to become real masters, of course they can't refuse, they are different from giants like Fan Zeng, as long as Fan Zeng is willing, any auction company will rush to put his works up for auction, because this is a sure thing, but Wang Jiaxun, Feng Yuan, Lu Yishun and Fan Yang are masters, and the works are really not necessarily auctioned.

Ji Sheng's Ancient and Modern Art Company is a new upstart in the auction industry, and this time the total turnover surpassed Sotheby's to temporarily top the world's autumn auctions.

Master Cheng hurriedly took out the blank contract that had been prepared a long time ago and signed the contract with several masters.

Ji Sheng is very satisfied with the cooperation of several masters, and knows that in the future, his company will conduct auctions and save a lot of unnecessary trouble in the collection of calligraphy and paintings.

But when it came time to sign the contract, he was more concerned about one more thing.

That's how much money did you make in this joint auction?

……

It's past ten o'clock in the night.

In the room, Ji Sheng had just finished taking a shower, and he was just about to have a meeting with Shen Xia when a phone call came in.

"Hello?"

"Mr. Ji, have you slept?"

It was Lu Zhengqing who called.

Ji Sheng turned on the speakerphone, and while sending a message to Shen Xia in another room, he said into the phone: "No, what?" ”

Lu Zhengqing said with a smile in his voice: "It's nothing, I just want to tell you that the financial side has basically done all the accounts." ”

"Oh......" Ji Sheng was originally sending a message with peace of mind, but he couldn't react immediately, but halfway through his absent-minded words, he suddenly came to his senses, "Are you saying that the six of us have calculated how much money we have made this time?" ”

"Yes." Lu Zhengqing said.

Ji Sheng couldn't care about sending messages to Shen Xia anymore, and hurriedly asked, "How much is on my side?" ”

Lu Zhengqing sold Guan Zi and said: "Guess." ”

Ji Sheng couldn't cry and laughed: "Don't be so vulgar, Mr. Lu, say it quickly." ”

Lu Zhengqing laughed and didn't continue to sell Guan Zi and said: "This time, our total turnover is 337 million, counting the commission is 3537.2 billion, of course, because we have to pay a certain amount of taxes, the money left in our hands in the end is about 3396 million, this is the turnover part, and the peripheral income of the catalogue or something is about 2 million, that is to say, the total income of this joint auction is about 3380000000 million." ”

Ji Sheng knew all about these doors, and knew that Lu Zhengqing's data was not bad, so he didn't speak, but waited quietly for the other side to finish speaking.

At the end, Lu Zhengqing said with a smile: "I won't tell you about the income of Mr. Niu and Mr. Zou, and I will send you all the table data when I go back, as for your ancient and modern art company, the income figure this time is one billion and thirty million, well, I will quote a whole number." ”

it!

One billion three million dollars?

Ji Sheng's breathing suddenly became rapid when he heard it, and he said in disbelief: "So much? ”

Lu Zhengqing smiled dumbly and said: "The chicken bowl cup alone is 321 million, and there are two more than 100 million pieces, which are 155 million and 500 million and 100 million, these three are 576.5 million, and there are 40 million glass imperial green, Zhang Zuolin's military outfit like the generalissimo medal of the Navy and Army and the Ming Yongle cover box are all 20 or 30 million, after all, you brought eleven objects with an estimated value of more than 10 million this time, in fact, not only these eleven pieces were all sold, In addition, there are three or five pieces of porcelain you brought that have accidentally broken 10 million, 1 billion and 30 million is not too much, right? ”

Ji Sheng thought about it carefully, it was really like that.

Just the sum of the three targets with a transaction price of more than 100 million yuan is more than half of his total income, and there is really no problem.

One auction earned 130 million!

Although it will take some time for the money to arrive in the company's account, the money will definitely be in hand.

At this moment, Ji Sheng almost fainted with happiness, one billion and thirty million, he has never seen so much money in his life, and now he has earned so much, how should he spend it?

He is used to being poor, and when he is faced with a huge income, he can't think of where to spend it for a while.

Hanging up the phone, Ji Sheng jumped and jumped on the bed excitedly, he was busy collecting collections for auction for so long in the eighties, and he had been tinkering for the auction for more than half a month in modern time and space, and finally had a huge harvest, this time the harvest was far greater than he imagined at the beginning!
