Chapter 91 [Dawson Auction Company]
To be honest, the shape and materials of these fans are so exquisite, Yang Nianzhong is reluctant to sell them, and intends to stay at home as an ornament for a work of art. Or it is for my mother, and Anne is a very good thing as a gift, so Yang Nianzhong did not squeak.
Yang Nianzhong was raised by his mother Yang Lan, and it was clear what kind of character his son was, and when he saw that his son was silent, his mother Yang Lan said with a smile.
"What do you want to say nothing, I know what you think, you want to keep this set of fans at home and collect them as art ornaments, right?"
Seeing Yang Nianzhong nodded, his mother Yang Lan patted her son's head and said. "Silly boy, this thing is good, but it is an ornament of a work of art, except for those deep palace concubines who are dressed to reach out and eat to open their mouths, he is a handicraft that can only be seen but not touched."
"Everything has a lifespan, and those paintings that have been handed down for thousands of years have been restored by top artists of various dynasties and generations. It looks like new, but it's all dilapidated. ”
"These fans look particularly extravagant and have a royal style, but these fans are modern crafts. I think it's better to auction it in exchange for funds to develop your business, which is much more valuable than putting it at home to show off. ”
That's the thing, but Yang Nianzhong is reluctant, he wants to give his mother or girlfriend Anne any good things, and he also wants to stay at home to collect them, whether it is friends or business partners, they also come to the house, and see how face-saving these artworks they have collected.
But what my mother said is also right, Yang Nianzhong's current career has just started, and it is the time to invest a lot of time and money.
Now is not the time, besides, although the material of these fans is extravagant, the content is also extremely rich, anyone who sees it has to stretch out their thumbs and admire, the traditional craftsmanship of China is really amazing.
But after all, it is a modern handicraft, even if you put it in a box and don't see the light of day, after collecting it for decades or hundreds of years. It will also be naturally weathered and damaged, and then you will have nothing left except for the fan bones, the handle of the fan, and the gold wire on it.
After the persuasion of his mother, Yang Nianzhong also planned to give up his idea of collecting several sets of fans, and his mother had already explained to her baby son that the price of these fans alone could be auctioned for $5,000 to $10,000, and if it was a complete set, the price would be higher, and ordinary people could not afford such a luxury.
This made Yang Nianzhong embarrassed, sitting there as if he was constipated, smoking without squeaking. Seeing that her son was embarrassed, Yang Nianzhong's mother Yang Lan would of course stand up and solve the trouble for her son, patted her son's shoulder, and said triumphantly.
"Okay, okay, don't sit here like a stuffy gourd, I know that you, your kid has no other skills than fighting, don't worry, the auction will have my mother to help you contact."
The mother who gave birth to me, the mother who knows me, my mother is my God. Yang Nianzhong was happy now, as if he had won the lottery, and looked at his mother and said with bright eyes.
"Hey, hey, hey, mom is waiting for you, knowing that you are very connected and energetic, in order to expand your son's profits, do you contact Christie's, or Sotheby's."
When Mother Yang Lan heard Yang Jianrong say this, she didn't get angry, and grabbed Yang Nianzhong's ears and said viciously. "Are you kidding me? Do you still have a top auction house like Christie's or Sotheby's to give away these few things? In fact, did you send it to someone else? The little profit from the auction is not enough to pay taxes. ”
Yang Nianzhong grinned and said aggrievedly. "Ouch, mom hurts you, you can be light, and then pull your ears and come down, if it's not that kind of top-level auction, how can you maximize profits? It's all money. ”
Letting go of Yang Nianzhong's ears, his mother Yang Lan sat on the sofa, crossed her arms with her two hands, and said proudly. "What do you know as a child, these fans are handicrafts, and they can't be sent to that kind of top-level auction to be auctioned. But it can be sent to our famous Dawson auction in New York for auction, and it is not much worse than Sotheby's or Christie's. ”
"Don't tell me you kid doesn't know! An auction house like Sotheby's, who says that the items auctioned are exaggerated? There are still a lot of cats who are tired of telling you this, if the auction is held at our local Dawson auction in New York, it can save you a lot of taxes. ”
"All in all, the income is not much worse than the auction at Sotheby's, and it also saves time, effort and time, isn't that good?"
Does Yang Nianzhong dare to say that it is not good? smiled and agreed, and asked my mother to contact the Shen auction house. Mom's words are not lost for no reason, remember to tell his son Yang Nianzhong that the chief auctioneer of Dawson Auction House is his classmate, and he is also a female classmate, and the relationship between the two is very good, can he pit his son.
Even if you have such a strong relationship, you still have to follow the procedure set by Dawson Auction House, first contact the auction house, and then the auction house will send its own art appraiser. Evaluate what you have in your hands and all the information you need to value, and then advertise your artwork for maximum visibility.
Finally, the final auction will be held, and the whole process will be long or short, and with the help of my mother's classmates, it can be completed within a month. The auction will then charge a commission based on the proceeds of the auction, and if you don't have a full-time accountant, the auction will help you, the art seller, to pay taxes to the U.S. government.
Tax evasion in the United States is a felony, who would dare to do that? Yang Nianzhong didn't have the guts to evade taxes, so the taxes that should be paid must be paid in full to ensure his safety. Mother Yang Lan has already planned everything, so there is no need for Yang Nianzhong to worry about it, but Yang Nianzhong can't go home empty-handed when he enters Debao Mountain.
Although his mother Yang Lan's birthday was in winter, Yang Nianzhong still forcibly left the banana fan with a hundred birds and a phoenix. As a birthday gift for her son, let my mother collect it well, and my son Yang Nianzhong's heart, you can't refuse it as a mother, so Bainiao Chaofeng stayed.
And the top ten national flowers, the eight immortals across the sea, and the fans of the four gentlemen will appear in sets at the Dawson auction, and the mother and son have discussed it for a long time, and the matter is settled, and the mahogany box will be handed over to the mother Yang Nianzhong.
He ran downstairs to help, sweaty John disposed of the garbage, and then the two brothers went to the New York flea market tomorrow, and the goods to be sold were sorted out.
After dinner, John went home, and Yang Nianzhong returned to his room with two laptops, both of which were found in those suitcases. Although the battery is out, the contents of the computer will definitely be saved, Yang Nianzhong plans to take a look at what he is interested in, if he does not empty the computer, take it to the flea market to cash in dollars.
