Chapter One Hundred and Eight: The Scalpers

Ou Yiran looked at Mr. Napping in surprise, and then at the Pink Girl, and suddenly woke up and said, "It turns out that you are in a gang?" ”

"Mr. Ou, so far, we don't have to hide it from you, the bidding at the auction site is actually a bureau we did specifically for you." Pink Girl said unabashedly.

"Why did you do that?" Although Ou Yiran had already expected it in his heart, he really didn't expect Mr. Napping to collude with the Pink Girl.

"Mr. Ou is a smart person, as the saying goes, there is no father and son in the business field, not to mention that we have never communicated!" The Pink Lady said as she put down her hand.

"Please sit down, let's sit down, Mr. Ou?" Mr. Nap gave way.

Ou Yiran and Yaliang exchanged glances, and the two sat opposite the pink girl.

Mr. Nap lifted the teapot, filled the cup in front of them, then sat down next to the pink girl, and said, "Let me introduce me and my partner first," he looked at Ou Yiran and Yaliang, "We are what industry insiders call scalpers, who specialize in making games to push up the price of collectibles and seek profits from them." ”

"Hmph, your acting skills are really admirable, I only guessed that this lady might be a scalper, but I never expected you to be too." Ou Yiran sneered.

The pink girl smiled, "To do this kind of thing, you have to be unguardable." But when we met Mr. Ou today, we can be regarded as meeting a nemesis! ”

"I can't talk about nemesis, and I can't say anything about your behavior, after all, you are also driven by interests, as long as you don't break the law, what is it if you touch the bottom line of morality!" Ou also scoffed.

"Mr. Ou, I don't want to ask how you saw through us, but we did touch the bottom line of morality. Nowadays, the whole world is looking at money, we don't steal, we don't rob, we don't cheat, we don't kidnap, it's just that the methods are a little unacceptable. I beg your pardon. ”

"But how did you know my details?" Ou Yiran finally asked.

"Mr. Ou is a celebrity, and we recognized you from the moment you stepped into the auction company." The Pink Lady laughed.

"How do you know I'm going to be in this auction?"

"Mr. Ou, it's not that we can pinch and calculate, we will appear in the previews of all well-known auction companies in Yanjing. While you are concentrating on the collection, we are carefully studying you, and after grasping your preferences and trends, we will tailor a game for you to attract you into the Gu. ”

Ou Yiran and Yaliang glanced at each other and asked curiously: "Why me, not others?" ”

"Because you are the only one who appears at the preview is the most well-known. We've always been only interested in celebrities. The Pink Lady said without hesitation.

"However, this Mr. Nap had a hard fight with us in the morning, which one of the performances was real, we really didn't expect Mr. Napping to be a scalper?"

"He sings about white faces, the purpose is to make you defenseless, and then we will appear on the stage, if a smart collector sees through us, it will be able to bring out the authenticity of Mr. Napping."

"So, the white Fuer coin in the morning, Mr. Napping didn't really want it?"

"That's not necessarily, in case we unfortunately receive the last stick, although we won't ask for the collection, we will have to compensate the auction company for a fee."

"So you're really in cahoots with the auction company?" Yaliang asked suddenly.

"Hahaha, to do this kind of thing, you must have a tacit understanding with the auction company, otherwise it won't work at all."

"However, by doing so, you are not only harming the interests of the collectors, but also the interests of the holders. Don't auction companies care about their own reputation, and let you turn your hands into clouds and your hands into rain? Ou also asked.

"Mr. Ou said that we, the auction company, and the holders of the collection are actually tacit. During the preview, the auction company and we will note each piece of the collection that well-known collectors have carefully looked at. After the auction starts, once you receive the last stick, you are unlucky, once we receive the last stick, we are unlucky, we will compensate the auction company for the handling fee, the auction company will take out a part to appease the collection holder, and promise the collection holder, the company will continue the auction for him free of charge, until it is sold. Of course, some auction companies will also refuse to compensate the collector on the grounds that the bidder refuses to pay the final payment. Pink Girl said.

"You guys really do everything, there are so many auction companies in Yanjing, it shouldn't be just you guys, right?" Ou Yiran asked.

"You're right, there are ten squads for this kind of livelihood. However, there are rules and regulations, and each team is responsible for two or three categories of collections, and must not cross the line. For example, our team focuses on the coin card market. There are also porcelain squads, calligraphy and painting squads, jewelry and jade squads, metalware squads, bamboo, wood, tooth stone and ancient books squads and so on. ”

"But, after you're gone, it seems that there is another scalper on that ten-dollar white coin?" Masaliang asked.

"That's a small team with us, a few more unfamiliar faces, the purpose is not to make people too suspicious." Pink Lady explained.

"What, since you have received the last baton and compensated the auction company, why do you want to transfer it to me, and keep it for the next auction, maybe you can meet a big wrongdoer?"

"Mr. Ou is right. If it's a popular collection, we certainly won't miss the opportunity to catch the big one. But this is the wrong coin, and the heat may not last long. In the domestic market, it is really rare to be able to auction more than one million wrong coins. We don't want to pass up this opportunity. ”

"Yes, it is our blessing to meet a big man like Mr. Ou." Mr. Nap said humbly.

"Hmph, if you hadn't stirred up the situation, how would we have used the wrong coin in the morning at a price of 1.3 million yuan. You cost us at least $300,000 more. Yaliang reproached.

"Mr. Yaliang, in all fairness, is that Fu'er folded white coin worth 1.3 million yuan?" Mr. Nap asked.

"Does this have anything to do with whether it is worth it or not, businessmen pursue profits?" Masashi retorted.

The pink girl smiled: "It's better to do this, anyway, it's because of us, if Mr. Yaliang thinks that 1.3 million is a bit too much, then we can suggest that the auction company charge you 300,000 less, but you want to take away this 99 version of Dafu Er 1.5 million, how about it?" ”

Yaliang and Ou Yiran glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Today is really an eye-opener, but this matter has to be nodded by Mr. Ou." ”

The pink girl turned to Ou Yiran and smiled: "Mr. Ou has become famous in one fell swoop since he hit last autumn auction, and now he is already famous in the industry, you are a great god, there are a lot of adults, so you won't let us drink the northwest wind, right?" ”

"Okay, if you enter this industry, you will have to deal with you in the future, the so-called one more friend and one more way, as long as you don't cause us trouble in the future, I will promise you."

"Mr. Ou is really fast-talking, I can guarantee that as long as you participate in the bidding in the future, we will avoid it."

"Okay, deal." Ou Yiran took the initiative to reach out his hand, and the pink girl shook it with him.

Mr. Napping took the opportunity to stretch out his hand and said, "As the saying goes, once born and twice matured, we will be friends from now on." ”

Ou Yiran shook hands with him and said with a smile: "If you are an actor, I am afraid it will be more suitable." ”

"Mr. She'ou compliments."

Yaliang also shook hands with them one by one.

"By the way, why don't you bid for the ninety-nine version of the five-set coin 100 yuan watermark?" Ou Yiran said curiously.

"If you don't bid, we don't know the bottom in our hearts, how dare we make a reckless bid!" The Pink Lady scoffed.

"Oh, why?"

"There are two reasons, one is to worry about which coin is not authentic, and the other is that the scalpers are bloodsuckers attached to the big collectors, if you don't open your mouth, we can't speak."

Ou Yiran smiled: "Your analogy is very vivid. However, I would like to know how auction companies usually deal with unsold items, whether they notify the owner directly to collect them, or wait for the next opportunity to be auctioned. ”

The pink girl smiled: "Mr. Ou, does he want that inverted watermark?" ”

Ou Yiran nodded: "Exactly." ”

"Well, I will get you the unsold collection at a starting price of 200,000 yuan, how about it?"

"Can you call the shots?" Ou Yiran asked in surprise.

"But you have to promise to divide me 100,000 yuan, and then I will take 50,000 yuan to the auction company to talk about this matter for you."

"Your business experience is amazing, well, I promise you."

"Okay, we'll make up our minds. When Mr. Ou got the 99-9 version of the 100-yuan watermark, we asked for both the money and the goods. ”

"I'm a man of my word, and I won't be reckless."

"Mr. Ou, which one else do you have a crush, you might as well tell me together, and I will get it for you at a lower than the starting price, but you have to promise to share half of my benefit fee."

"Well, we'll make up our minds."

Ya Liang listed the 10-yuan folded white and the 99-9 version of the 100-yuan watermark on the sticky note, and handed it to the pink girl.

The pink girl smiled: "Dealing with Mr. Ou is really like a spring breeze. In the future, as long as the major auction companies in Yanjing auction on the wrong coin, I will give you the first feedback, as long as you like it, do not waste time and effort to participate in the auction, I will give you a lower than the starting price to get it, you will be in accordance with the proportion agreed this time, return half of the benefit fee to me. ”

Ou Yiran and Yaliang glanced at each other, and couldn't help laughing: "Not only are you beautiful, but you are even more beautiful." Well, in the future, Yanjing will all depend on you. ”

"I'm really happy today, Mr. Ou, can you have dinner together?"

"It's okay, I'll ask for this meal."

"Mr. Ou, you are a guest from afar, how can you break the bank!"

"Well, when the matter is done, I can always ask back, right?"

"That's right, then I'll contact the manager of the auction company and introduce you to it."

"Thank you so much."

"Mr. Ou, we are friends, you're welcome."

The dinner that night lasted until more than nine o'clock, and then it ended. When Ou Yiran and Yaliang returned to the hotel, it was almost ten o'clock.

"This trip is so worthwhile, it really responds to that sentence, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, this pink girl's wrist is really amazing." As soon as Ou Yiran entered the door, he was full of praise.

"With her here watching, we've saved a lot of trouble. If there is such a person on the side of the Demon Capital, then our supply will be very sufficient in the future. ”

"Yes, if a few first-tier cities are in control, are you afraid that there will be no money to make? When this is done, I have to go there too. ”

"It's just that I haven't seen any company auction the wrong coin in the past few years?"

"In the past few years, the magic capital has taken too big a step, and the real and fake auction companies and exhibition companies have rushed up, and it is said that there can be twenty or thirty thousand at most, and more than half of the upfront fees are cheated under the guise of auctions, and the impact of fraud is really bad. It is said that the people who were deceived and complained about it broke through the door of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and after being exposed by the media, the entire auction industry in the magic capital became notorious overnight, and thousands of them were closed down. It seems that the vitality has not been relieved in the past two years! ”

"Yes, since then, the auction industry has plummeted, and the business performance of some well-known companies has not been as good as before."

"Therefore, if you have a collection in your hand and want to sell it, when you hear that it is a company in the magic capital, most of them are discouraged."

"It was once a snake bite, and I was afraid of the well rope for ten years. Nowadays, the auction industry in Modu is not as active as some second-tier cities! ”

"Once the impact is broken, it will be very difficult to recover it."

"Who's to say it isn't!" Yaliang Dao.

"In short, I really haven't seen any news of the wrong coin auction in the past two years." Ou Yiran said.
