Chapter 148: Trouble will blow out
Invitations to the second boutique auction were sent out one after another, targeting some bigwigs and celebrities in Linhai Province and surrounding provinces.
The invitations promised by Zhou Ming at Old Man Lin's birthday banquet were also sent to those people one by one.
This boutique auction will be held in the Liangjie Building, no more than the original auction venue, can only accommodate 300 people, the auction venue of the new headquarters, in Zhou Ming's planning, will temporarily open 1,000 people, and in the future, with the expansion of the influence of the Liangjie auction house, it can accommodate more people.
A thousand people, it is not enough for those big people, celebrities and the people they bring, and not all of them will come.
The remaining places are selected from the members of the two auction houses.
Since the membership system was announced a few months ago, there have been hundreds of first-level members in the two auction houses, and as for the second-level members, due to time constraints, there are no members for the time being.
These Tier 1 members will receive an invitation letter.
Comparatively speaking, although the number of people who will participate in the second boutique auction is not much more than that of the first boutique auction, the financial resources and status of the participants are not at the same level at all, and there are many rich and powerful people, and their purchasing power is far beyond that of the first boutique auction.
The entire auction house of the two worlds is going all out and is fully engaged in the preparation of the second boutique auction, and Zhou Ming is not idle.
Before starting the second boutique auction, Zhou Ming had to determine the auctioneer of the boutique auction.
At the first boutique auction, the auctioneer at the auction house did not perform well. After auctioning the previous transitional items, they were replaced by Xie Yaxue.
Xie Yaxue is very good, has the demeanor of a general, but after all, she is not a professional auctioneer, and she is definitely not as professional as she is in controlling the rhythm and adjusting the atmosphere, and let the general managers of the two auction houses serve as auctioneers. It's too embarrassing.
After that, Zhou Ming moved the idea of replacing people, and the specific work was naturally handed over to Xie Yaxue.
It turned out that the auctioneer was not dismissed either. Instead, he was sent to an ordinary auction to work as an auctioneer, and if he performed well, he still had a chance to return to the boutique auction. Zhou Ming naturally would not block the other party's way to progress.
Liangjie Building, General Manager's Office.
Zhou Ming and Xie Yaxue sat behind their desks, sipping the fragrant tea in their hands.
"By the way, Yaxue, remember to send an invitation letter to Zhou Jingwen." Zhou Ming remembered something and said.
Zhou Jingwen himself is not eligible to receive an invitation letter, and he does not participate in the ordinary auctions of the two auction houses, so he does not have membership.
The reason why Zhou Ming thought of giving Zhou Jingwen an invitation letter was not only to repay him for his help last time, but also to compensate for returning to Qingshui. Although he was given 10 million, it was still a lot worse than the real value of Hui Qingshui, as for whether he took the invitation letter and came over by himself or sold it, Zhou Ming didn't care.
"Okay." Xie Yaxue wrote it down. Folded the information in his hand, knocked it twice on the table, and then handed it to Zhou Ming: "This is the information of the three auctioneers." ”
Looking for an auctioneer, Xie Yaxue started doing it a long time ago, and she had already had a goal and recruited it.
The auction houses of the two worlds have a lot of money. There is also Zhou Ming's advice not to be afraid of spending money, so Xie Yaxue has recruited nine first-class auctioneers, all of whom have rich experience in the industry, and the worst one has been in the industry for five years, and his performance is even better.
This time, Xie Yaxue put them in an ordinary auction to test their abilities by the way.
The ordinary auctions of the two auction houses were held twice, and these nine people clearly had one or two appearances, and after a series of evaluations, three were finally shortlisted.
The profession of auctioneer is still very important, so Xie Yaxue pulled Zhou Ming over and asked him to make up his mind.
"Manager, Mr. Zhou, they're here." At this time, a young woman dressed as OL pushed open the door and walked in.
Her name is Zhang Yun, she is twenty-one years old, and she is Xie Yaxue's secretary.
Xie Yaxue didn't speak, and glanced at Zhou Ming.
"Let them in." Zhou Ming said lightly.
Zhang Yun answered, walked out, and brought in the three auctioneers.
Three auctioneers, two men and one woman, walking in the front, is a middle-aged man in his forties, his name is Ren Zhongqi, suit and leather shoes, speaking loudly, very infectious, is a good hand at adjusting the atmosphere of the scene.
The man in the middle is in his thirties, named Chen Li, his figure is a little thin, but his back is straight, giving people a feeling of full energy.
The last woman is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, named Xie Fei, with a petite figure, but her aura is not small, and she is also a strong woman.
After the three of them came in, they called Zhou Ming and Xie Yaxue, and sat down, looking a little nervous.
They know very well that the significance of today's meeting will determine whether they can work at this auction house and hold the position of top auctioneer.
And the decision of all this is held on the young man who looks at them calmly.
Being able to work in the auction houses of the two realms, especially the boutique auctions, is the dream of all auctioneers in Linhai Province and several surrounding provinces, as long as they have heard of and learned about the auctioneers of the auction houses of the two realms, which will not see the benefits of working here.
Not to mention that it is the highest salary in the same industry, just being able to work in a boutique auction can be said to be standing at the peak of the industry.
Everyone wants to get this position, it is impossible to say that they are not nervous, Zhou Ming's gaze swept over, and the bodies of the three of them were slightly stiff.
"You're all the best in the auctioneer's profession." Zhou Ming opened his mouth and said: "Regarding professional knowledge, there is no need to test you again, I only have one question." ”
The three of them all nodded secretly, to the point where they didn't have a solid foundation, and then they became nervous, this question is very likely to decide whether they go or stay.
"At the auction site, if someone makes trouble, how will you deal with it?" Zhou Ming asked his own question: "This person is a high-powered person, such as the mayor of a city and the head of a province." Okay, let's start with Ren Zhongqi to answer. ”
The head of a city, the head of a province?
The three of them all gasped, such a big man, they usually don't even have the opportunity to meet, even if they are lucky to see it, they must grovel and try their best to please each other, it is basically impossible for ordinary auction houses to appear These big shots, but they also know that Zhou Ming's words are definitely not nonsense.
The boutique auctions of the two auction houses, among the people who come to participate, there will definitely be no shortage of such big names.
"If I preside over the auction, I will interrupt the auction, and then invite that big man over to negotiate a settlement, and try not to cause trouble to the auction house." Ren Zhongqi was the first to answer by Zhou Ming, and couldn't help but be a little nervous, and after thinking about it for a while, he said his answer.
After speaking, Ren Zhongqi peeked at Zhou Ming, but he didn't see any expression on his face, and he was suddenly a little disappointed.
Zhou Ming nodded noncommittally, did not make an evaluation, and pointed at Xie Fei: "You come on." ”
"If it were me, I would have interrupted the auction and then figured out what had happened, and if the fault was on that big man, I would never budge." Xie Fei thought about it and gave his own answer, although she is a woman, she is tougher than Ren Zhongqi.
Zhou Ming still didn't speak, and looked at the last person.
The last answer to the question has advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is that there is enough time to think, and the answers of the first two can also be given to him for reference, as for the disadvantage, the good answer will be answered by the person in front of him.
Chen Li thought about it for a while and quickly replied: "If it were me, I wouldn't interrupt the auction, insist on finishing the auction, and then deal with the big man's affairs." ”
He looked at the answers of the previous two, but Zhou Ming did not say anything, suspecting that the problem was the interruption of the auction, so the answers he said were different from the first two.
"What do you think?" After all three of them finished answering, Xie Yaxue suddenly looked at Zhou Ming, and the other three were also short of breath.
"I'm not satisfied with your answers." Under the attention of the four people, Zhou Ming slowly shook his head.
As soon as these words came out, the hearts of the three suddenly fell to the bottom.
"You all have your own position on the solution, if you are in other auction houses, it is a very good solution, but in the two auction houses, it is not possible." Zhou Ming said lightly.
"Ren Zhongqi and Chen Li, one interrupted the auction, and the other did not interrupt the auction, but they both had scruples about the big man and did not dare to offend easily."
"As for you, Xie Fei, although you will not give in after the matter is investigated, the interruption of the auction is in itself a sign of weakness, and you have not done enough."
"As an auctioneer of the boutique auction of the two auction houses, you must keep in mind the style of the auction house, and when you encounter such a thing, no matter what the identity of the other party is, what kind of big person you are, there is only one way to solve it." Zhou Ming said coldly: "That is, blast out." ”
Ren Zhongqi and the three of them were shocked, they never expected that Zhou Ming's answer would be such a one.
If it was an ordinary rich person, they would indeed dare to blow it out, but the other party was a big man, but he didn't expect Zhou Ming's attitude to be so resolute.
"No matter what their identities are outside, but in the auction house of the two worlds, in the boutique auction, you have to abide by our rules, whether he is justified or not, he will be blasted out." Speaking of this, Zhou Ming paused.
"The three of you are the best auctioneers, and you should keep that in mind in the future." After speaking, Zhou Ming didn't stay, and left the office directly.
The three of them were completely speechless, and they couldn't figure out the meaning of Zhou Ming's words for a while, but Xie Yaxue understood what Zhou Ming meant.
"Congratulations, you have officially joined the auction house, and you will be the auctioneer of the boutique auction in the future." Xie Yaxue stood up and said with a smile.
