Chapter 204: The Auction House

After the appraiser finished speaking, Jiang Zhenzhen watched the door close again, and asked He Yingrui in confusion: "What's wrong?" "Could it be that there is something wrong with the necklace?

He Yingrui said: "I should go to someone else to evaluate it together." ”

But Jiang Zhenzhen still didn't let go.

After about ten minutes, the young appraiser returned, and the appraiser said with an apologetic expression, "I'm sorry for the delay." ”

He sat back in his position and continued, "Miss Jiang, this pearl necklace of yours is indeed a natural pearl necklace, and there is no problem with this. ”

Jiang Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart was finally steady.

The appraiser continued: "This necklace of yours, we are going to bid for a reserve price of five million, do you think it is okay?" ”

Bidding a lot at a low price is a science, not too low, if it is really auctioned off at the reserve price, at least to ensure that the lot will not lose too much. Of course, you can't bid too high, so you lose the room to increase the price, and there is no way to make the bidders have a competitive mentality. There is even a possibility that the auction will not be auctioned.

Jiang Zhenzhen's necklace, if there is only a simple necklace, may only be able to set a reserve price of two million. However, the pear-shaped pearl on the necklace is really beautiful! The appraiser was very sure that this pearl must be one of the most symmetrical and largest pear-shaped pearls in the world, and that the rarer it is, the more valuable it is.

In addition, this pearl necklace was designed by the famous designer He Yingrui, so the appraiser discussed it with a few colleagues and felt that it was appropriate to price this pearl necklace at five million.

Jiang Zhenzhen's heart trembled suddenly, this is five million, let alone this life, she has never seen so much money in her previous life.

The appraiser was still waiting for Jiang Zhenzhen's answer, Jiang Zhenzhen suppressed her excitement as quickly as possible, first glanced at He Yingrui, got He Yingrui's slight chin, and then said in a calm tone: "Yes." ”

The appraiser immediately showed a bright smile, he was very happy that Jiang Zhenzhen was so refreshing.

Subsequently, the appraiser said: "The fee standard of our auction house is based on the actual price of the lot, and the proportion of the fee is different depending on the price. For a pearl necklace like yours, if it doesn't go unauctioned, we'll charge a 12% commission. ”

The auction house Jiang Zhenzhen is looking for is a very well-known auction house in the world, and the fee is naturally a little more than that of ordinary auction houses, but Jiang Zhenzhen feels that reliability is the most important. And Xingang was so chaotic during this period, if it was put in some small local auction houses, there would be no reason why her necklace was lost.

Therefore, Jiang Zhenzhen very happily agreed to the 12% commission and asked, "Do we want to sign a contract?" ”

Appraiser: "Yes, yes, you have to sign a contract." Then he took out a stack of printed contracts, gave Jiang Zhenzhen a copy, and said, "The contract is in duplicate, you can take a look at it first and see if there is anything you are not satisfied with." ”

Jiang Zhenzhen took the contract and glanced at it, and immediately felt dizzy. Originally, it was very difficult for her to read the contract as a person with a junior high school education, but the contract was still written in traditional Chinese, which was really embarrassing.

After noticing Jiang Zhenzhen's frowning, the appraiser hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, do you think it's inappropriate?" ”

Jiang Zhenzhen showed a slightly embarrassed smile: "No, no, I'll take a look first." ”

Then she took a deep breath and struggled to read the words on the contract. Fortunately, there is a correlation between simplified Chinese characters and traditional Chinese characters, and if you recognize them carefully, you can also recognize some words, and combined with the context, you can roughly understand 80%.

Of course, the most important part of the money and the part that is proportional to the commission, Jiang Zhenzhen must have understood, after all, Xingang also uses Arabic numerals, and Jiang Zhenzhen has learned the traditional Chinese characters of numbers, after all, some traditional numbers are needed when saving money.

Because there are many projects on the contract, Jiang Zhenzhen looks at it carefully, so a contract is about ten minutes to read. After reading it, she felt that there was no problem, but she was not at ease, so she handed it to He Yingrui again and asked him to read it again.

He Yingrui knows that the auction house gives the same contract to all customers, so there is basically no problem, after all, it is impossible to make a contract for every customer you talk about, and they are all printed and used together. Even, he had seen an exact contract before.

But Jiang Zhenzhen was introduced to him by Uncle Sansheng, so He Yingrui didn't mean to perfunctory Jiang Zhenzhen at all, and confirmed the contract again.

After reading it, he handed the contract back to Jiang Zhenzhen, shook his head and said, "There is nothing wrong with the contract." ”

Jiang Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief again and smiled: "I don't see any problems either." ”

The appraiser couldn't wait to say, "Since there is no problem, let's sign the contract!" ”

Jiang Zhenzhen picked up the pen, she knew that this word was worth five million, so she was very solemn when she signed the contract.

However, when she put pen to paper, she suddenly remembered that she should sign simplified Chinese. Oh my God, how to write the three words "Jiang Zhenzhen" in traditional Chinese?

Jiang Zhenzhen was really panicked, and her hands trembled a little in a panic. She thought, is it okay to sign in simplified Chinese? Will you see that she is from the mainland?

If you see that she is from the mainland......

Jiang Zhenzhen was suddenly stunned, as if, it doesn't seem to matter, right? Isn't there a lot of mainlanders smuggled here in Xingang now! What about the mainlanders, this auction house can't help but do business with the mainlanders, right?

And she is a mainlander who can take out a pearl necklace, doesn't that show that she has strong financial resources, and it is difficult to deceive if she has vision? !

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhenzhen suddenly put her mind at ease. Then solemnly on the contract, the words "Jiang Zhenzhen" were dropped.

However, what Jiang Zhenzhen didn't know was that there was not much difference between the simplified and traditional characters of the three characters "Jiang Zhenzhen", especially the handwriting, and there was no difference at all. When she first applied for a Xingang ID card, if she looked at the name on it twice, I am afraid that she would not have experienced this inner twist and turn.

It can be said that it is worried in vain.

There are two contracts, one for the auction house and one for Jiang Zhenzhen. Jiang Zhenzhen carefully put the contract into her bag, and then transferred it directly to the space without delaying for a second, for fear that the contract would be lost.

The appraiser was not so careful, he casually put the contract in his hand, and said, "Miss Jiang, we will arrange the auction of the pearl necklace in a month." After the auction is over, we transfer the money directly to your account, minus commissions and taxes. ”

Jiang Zhenzhen asked: "Why a month later?" Also, can't I participate in the auction? "If you don't participate, how do you know how much the necklace ended up selling? What if eight million are auctioned and the auction house says only five million? Then her money won't be stolen.
