Chapter 6: Sotheby's
Time passed in a hurry, and Wu Feng of the auction house had already arrived at Huang Lao with people.
After a while, the doorbell rang, and Xu Ran and the others ended their conversation. Grandma Huang went to open the door, only to see five people coming.
Huang Lao said to the only Chinese: "You are really fast enough." ”
At this time, the Chinese hurriedly walked a few steps faster, and said to Huang Lao: "You are well, isn't this a thing?"
This Chinese asked Huang Lao to say.
Huang Lao looked at it and replied directly: "This is Xiao Xu, Xu Ran! ”
Huang Lao introduced to Xu Ran again: "This is Wu Feng, the Hong Kong general manager of Sotheby's Auction House. ”
At this time, Xu Ran also greeted Wu Feng politely: "Mr. Wu, please come in person." ”
Wu Feng jokingly replied to me: "Hehe, don't you also come to see the teacher and the teacher." It's been a long time since I've seen it. ”
At this time, Grandma Huang came over and said, "You Xiao Wu, although you usually have a lot of calls, you are always busy when I ask you to come over for dinner." ”
Wu Feng replied with a smile: "I have just been promoted recently, and I am relatively busy. ”
Grandma Huang replied with a smile, "You guys go to the study, I'll go and see how the kitchen is preparing their dinner." ”
At this time, Huang Lao spoke: "Let's go." ”
Wu Feng muttered to a few people who followed. followed Huang Lao to the study.
Entering the study, Huang Lao beckoned everyone to sit down. After a while, a nanny aunt held a few cups of tea in front of everyone. After the nanny left, Huang Lao went directly to open the safe and took out the golden knife.
He walked over and said, "Let's take a look." ”
At this time, the two white men who followed Wu Feng took over the way. Look closely at the golden knife. Then he said: "This is a symbol of the imperial power of the Ottoman Empire in the 13th century, and its appearance will drive the Arabs crazy." ”
At this time, Huang Lao did not express his opinion, because he already knew. This thing is too conspicuous.
Wu Feng took it and looked at it carefully, took out a box that he brought with him, fiddled with it for more than ten minutes, and said to everyone: "The test has a history of 800 years. This is the greatest collection of the century. ”
At this time, Huang Lao spoke: "This thing belongs to Xiao Xu, you can discuss it, Xiao Xu plans to sell it." ”
After Huang Lao finished speaking, he walked out of the study directly.
At this time, Wu Feng looked at Xu Ran and said, "Brother Xu, we can hold a special auction for this thing." Send it to the United States for auction, you see. ”
Xu Ran replied: "There is no problem, it is when Mr. Wu will hold the auction." There is also how to charge fees. ”
At this time, Wu Feng said: "The auction will be held in a month, and we will only charge you 5% of the transaction price as a handling fee. At the same time, we will help you pay your taxes. ”
Xu Ran said: "Then it's troublesome for Mr. Wu. I don't know how much this knife can sell for. ”
Wu Feng replied with a smile at this time: "This thing is priceless, the Arabs are very rich, and the jewel on it is heavier than the crown of the British Queen." ”
After a pause, a white appraiser said, "We value this knife at $5 billion, and the specific transaction price should be able to rise by 30 to 50 percent." ”
At this time, Wu Feng said to Xu Ran: "Brother Xu, let's sign the contract now, what do you think." ”
Xu Ran replied naturally: "Yes, can I advance some money first." ”
Wu Feng replied very politely to Xu Ran: "Yes, you can advance ten percent of the estimate." What do you think. ”
This time, Xu Ran said excitedly: "Okay, let's sign the contract." ”
At this time, Huang Lao walked up and entered the study. Xu Ran stood up and faced Huang Lao.
Huang Lao took the contract in Xu Ran's hand and looked at it, and nodded at Xu Ran.
Xu Ran sat down anew, and the two sides quickly signed a contract.
Then Wu Feng asked Xu Ran to take out the documents, and he needed to take a few photos.
After all this, Wu Feng said, "Okay, it's okay." After 2 hours, the HSBC card will be delivered here. ”
At this time, Xu Ran also regained his calm and said: Trouble Mr. Wu.
At this time, Wu Feng politely patted Xu Ran's shoulder and said, "Don't call it Mr. Wu, call it Brother Ang." You're going to be a billionaire in no time, so let's get your hands dirty. ”
Xu Ran knew Wu Feng's half-joking words, so he replied, "Then Brother Ang, I'm sorry for you." ”
At this time, Huang Lao spoke: "He is willing to trouble this kind of good thing every day." ”
At this time, Wu Feng touched his head embarrassedly and replied, "That's, hehe." ”
Huang Lao didn't look at him, and said to everyone: "Put things away, let's go down to eat now." ”
At this time, Wu Feng said, "I'm sorry for you." ”
Huang Lao still ignored him and walked directly outside.
Xu Ran, Wu Feng and the rest of the people followed downstairs.
After having a hearty dinner. Everyone went to the living room to drink tea.
Then the doorbell rang again, this time the nanny went to open the door. I saw only a Chinese and a white man.
came in and said, "I'm sorry to be late, Huang Lao is good!"
At this time, Wu Feng stood up and introduced.
The crowd sat down again.
The surname of the person is Li, see Li Zhenggang. is the Chief Financial Officer.
At this time, Li Zhenggang took out an envelope from his bag, handed it to Xu Ran, and said, "This is an HSBC bank card, and there are $500 million in it." The password is written on the back of the card. ”
At this time, Xu Ran took it, opened the envelope, looked at it, and handed it to Huang Lao.
Huang Lao looked at the data sheet.
Directly said: "Hmm." ”
Xu Ran replied at this time: "I'm sorry everyone." ”
Everyone was polite.
At this time, Wu Feng got up and said goodbye. After being polite for a while, he left with the man and the golden knife.
At this time, Huang Lao asked: "What is their valuation of this knife, I see that you have 500 million US dollars in that card." ”
Before Xu Ran could answer, Grandma Huang snorted and said, "Five hundred million dollars, what is so valuable!"
Huang Lao didn't have an old lady and said, "A 13th-century Ottoman knife." ”
The old lady said nothing more.
At this time, Xu Ran replied: "This $500 million is what I asked for, and it was paid to me according to 10% of the valuation." The valuation is $5 billion, and it can be said that it can rise by 30 to 50 percent. ”
At this time, Huang Laodu was shocked and said: "I know it's valuable, but I didn't expect it to be so valuable." ”
Xu Ran didn't say anything.
Huang Lao didn't ask anything, and chatted for a while. Xu Ran said goodbye and left Diting Villa.
At this time, Xu Ran walked on the road, which was really emotional. Although I knew a lot of things in the mountains and rivers before, even Jinshan had them. But I didn't expect a golden knife to be so valuable.
Xu Ran stopped a car and went home!
