Yang Chen sat in the co-pilot of Li Yu's BMW, and Li Yu personally drove towards the old city.

"Mr. Li, who is this Mrs. Qiao?"

"Her husband, Mr. Qiao, is an old customer of our bank, and he has been shopping for some antiques in our bank before. However, the company seems to have encountered difficulties recently, and it is necessary to monetize the antiques in its hands......"

Yang Chen thought to himself, if he could help Li Yu win over this old customer, it could be regarded as proving his ability, and his status was stable, he would be able to make more money in the treasure shop, and this Qiao family might also be able to make friends, and he should have more opportunities to enter the high-class auctions......

At this time, Li Yu's face changed drastically, and he screamed.

"Oops!"

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know if Zhang Chi sold the fake to Mrs. Qiao before, in case there is a ......"

"You're afraid that if I identify a fake, and then we sell it, you'll be embarrassed, right?"

"That's right!"

"You don't have to worry about this, as long as it is the last three years that have been shipped by our line, I remember it all. Later, if we find out that it is a fake, as long as we give it to Mrs. Qiao, we will recover it at the original price. ”

Li Yu asked with some doubts: "Do you remember the antiques that our company has produced in the past three years?" ”

"Of course."

"Your intellect...... Sorry, I didn't mean that, I meant ......"

"It's okay."

Yang Chen said with a faint smile: "I was injured three years ago, and my reaction was a little sluggish, and I have no problem with my memory." ”

Yang Chen deliberately said this to imperceptibly let Li Yu slowly treat himself as a normal person.

After all, he can't keep pretending to be a fool.

"I see, then I'm relieved."

……

Half an hour later, Li Yu drove to an old house in the old city, and after ringing the doorbell, a lady in her forties came out to open the door.

"Hello, Mrs. Joe."

"You're here."

Mrs. Qiao looked at Yang Chen suspiciously.

Yang Chen also took the opportunity to secretly look at Mrs. Qiao, and saw that she was very well maintained, looking like a young woman in her early thirties, but her face was slightly pale, especially a pair of dark circles that were slightly haggard.

Li Yu hurriedly introduced: "This one is the new shopkeeper of our bank-Yang Chen. ”

"Oh, that's fine...... Come in. ”

The two followed Mrs. Qiao into the hall, only to see that the middle had been emptied, and more than a dozen antiques were placed on the carpet, porcelain, bronze, jade carving, ivory reliefs...... The whole nine yards.

"Mrs. Joe, these things ......"

"These are going to be auctioned, how much are you going to assess how much they're worth?"

Yang Chen and Li Yu looked at each other, they originally thought that Mrs. Qiao was only selling one or two antiques this time, but they didn't expect that there were so many of them.

"Yang Chen, assess."

Li Yu looked at Yang Chen and deliberately said loudly: "Mrs. Qiao is also our old customer, this time you can sell so many things to make a special show, and you don't have to deliberately lower the price to set the price according to the market situation." ”

"Yes!"

Yang Chen responded, and said to Mrs. Qiao: "Madam, can you borrow pen and ink, I can list the price of everything." ”

"Okay."

The next person quickly sent paper and pen.

Yang Chen first picked up a palm-sized golden Buddha statue, carefully identified it for a while before putting it down, picked up the pen and said loudly while writing: "Mrs. Qiao, this is a golden body of Maitreya Buddha in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, with a net weight of sixteen catties and a height of one foot and three inches......

As we all know, the Buddha statue is over the ruler, it is the heirloom treasure, the material of this Buddha is pure gold casting, rare in the world.

I'll price you three million to start the auction, you have no objection, right? ”

These things were originally her family's things, and Madame Qiao was not proficient in antiques, but she knew a little about them.

Listening to Yang Chen's description of the characteristics of this Buddha statue is not bad at all, it will not be wrong to think about it, nodded and said: "There is no objection, just according to the price you said." ”

Yang Chen took notes, and picked up a well-preserved folding fan, reinforced iron bones, silk satin, and a crude vermilion ink painting on it.

"This iron bone fan is a thing from the late Qing Dynasty, and its condition is well preserved, but the painting is too ingenious...... The price is 10,000 yuan, what do you think? ”

"As you say."

"This is a piece of Hetian jade from the Warring States period with a hollow dragon pattern...... Price 300,000 ......"

"This is a snuff bottle in the late Qing Dynasty......"

“……”

Yang Chen recorded the price of the fifteen antiques one by one in one go, and finally said: "Mrs. Qiao, these fifteen things are all genuine, and they are estimated to be worth 30 million according to the starting price. ”

Mrs. Qiao frowned, shook her head and said, "It's only 30 million, so little!" ”

Li Yu said with a smile: "Mrs. Qiao, this is just the starting price, as long as our company operates it properly, there should be 20% room for improvement." ”

She said this very vaguely, and the so-called "proper operation" is nothing more than arranging for people to raise prices to stimulate buyers to pay higher prices, which is also the usual method of auction houses.

"That's only 40 million at most, which is far from enough, not to mention giving you a 10% commission from the auction house, which is even more insufficient!"

"This ......"

Li Yu was embarrassed and said: "Mrs. Qiao, you are an old customer of our bank, and our 10% commission pricing for you is already the lowest ...... in the industry."

"I'm not saying your commissions are high."

Mrs. Joe interrupted with a wave of her hand:

"Mr. Li, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'll tell you directly."

"My husband likes to collect, he usually sees these things as more precious than me, if the company hadn't encountered a financial crisis this time, how could he not have auctioned them."

"Look at it, is there a way to sell it for a good price?"

Li Yu was even more embarrassed, and turned his head to look at Yang Chen.

"Mr. Li, I'm pricing according to what you said, these things themselves are not high-quality products, and there are not too many publicity points, even if we increase the publicity costs, I am afraid that it will not help......"

Yang Chen said as he casually glanced at a blue and white porcelain vase on the Bogu shelf in the corner, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he asked, "Mrs. Qiao, let me ask a digression, I don't know how much capital turnover Mr. Qiao needs?" ”

"100 million."

Mrs. Qiao cried and laughed and said: "I understand, these things are originally worth 30 million, and I want to force you to sell them for 100 million, which is really difficult for a strong man...... Just try to sell it for me at a good price. ”

"No...... No. ”

Yang Chen pointed to the blue and white porcelain on the Bogu shelf, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Qiao, you are also willing to take this vase, I am sure to help you raise 100 million!" ”
