Chapter 23 Profiteering Industry
This woman, Tang Feng and Chen Yan, had seen it. She bought the Ming Dynasty memorial from Tang Feng. She had a very bad impression of Tang Feng. From a purely commercial perspective, it was understandable that Tang Feng relied on the fact that he could attract prices because of the fact that he could make money, but this would inevitably reduce his character.
The woman of course remembered Tang Feng, and she said, "It turned out to be you."
Tang Feng said, nodding and said, "Well, isn't it me?"
"Oh, it's such a coincidence. I didn't expect that I could meet in Beijing even if I had met in Tianjin." Chen Yan's words were just a suffix - fate.
The woman smiled slightly and said to Tang Feng sarcastically: "How foolish did you have this time?" It was the first offender who stole in one place. When you shoot another place, you are a habitual offender who is wandering around.
Are you afraid that you can't find the next one if you have good things? At worst, you can change the place. Tang Feng is now focused on money. He ignored the woman who disliked him and asked the young man directly: "Do you accept this business? If not, I'll change to another family." After that, he got up and was about to go out. Chen Yan saw that he was leaving, so he also stood up.
What is taste? It is three mouths. Only when you eat and drink enough can you have the strength to talk about "taste". Tang Feng is far from reaching the level of "taste".
The woman could not have thought that Tang Feng was so stingy and wanted to leave if he said something unpleasant. It seemed that this person was not only uncharacteristic, but also had no measure. Humph, there were not many such businesses, and she had no intention of keeping them. Will he close the door if he left them?
Seeing that the two sides were about to part with a bad mood, another person came in outside the door. Tang Feng met this man at the Jiadwang store last time. The middle-aged woman who took the "Guoshi Tongdian" to auction. She said, "There is no reason to not accept business when you open the door. Please sit down." Then she turned to the woman and said, "Xiaoyue, go and pour two cups of tea for these two gentlemen."
"Yes." The woman named Xiaoyue nodded obediently and agreed.
Tang Feng can see it. If you talk about these two, you can’t feel anything when you look at them separately. It’s not difficult to see that they have many similarities, even if they are not mother and daughter, their blood relationship will not be too far away.
When the middle-aged woman saw that they had not yet sat down, she hurriedly said politely: "Sit down first, let's talk about business matters slowly."
He reached out and didn't hit people with a smile. They treated each other with courtesy. Tang Feng was embarrassed to say something else. He sat down with Chen Yan. The middle-aged woman whispered a few words to the young man and walked to Tang Feng. She handed her business card with both hands and said, "I'm so sorry, because our employees are not sure, it's time for you two."
Tang Feng took the business card and looked at it. The middle-aged woman was the general manager of Beijing Zhuji Auction House, named Zhu Biwei. He smiled and said, "It's okay, no delay." The farmers are simple and polite. Tang Feng is also polite.
Zhu Biwei said, "Please take the things over and take a look."
Tang Feng handed her the tablet in her hand. She took it in her hand and looked carefully before asking Tang Feng: "What did you judge?" There are many tricks in the auction industry. They will not easily tell their judgment. If they say that the person does not entrust, wouldn't it be a free appraisal for others. Of course, they would rather not be able to identify the goods. This is best, but they can take it themselves and pick up the bargain.
Tang Feng said: "It should be the ivory props and tablets of the third anniversary of the Daoguang Year in the Qing Dynasty. Since it is from the third anniversary of the Daoguang Year, it must be related to Cheng Changgeng." After Tang Feng finished speaking, the woman who could not get along with Tang Feng presented tea. Chen Yan and Tang Feng would not really argue with her and thanked her in unison.
"Sir, I have good eyesight." Seeing that Tang Feng's judgment was accurate, Zhu Biwei nodded and said, "It is definitely not wrong to be the ivory props and tablets of Sanqingban, but this is not the direct evidence that Cheng Changgeng used. Therefore, the commission for this thing may be higher, because we have to look for evidence that this is a celebrity's relics."
Looking at Xiaoyue's smile-like expression, Tang Feng understood that it was his turn to be offended this time. He asked, "How many?"
Zhu Biwei said: "Fifteen percent."
"Ah?" Chen Yan said: "The commission of 10% commission is already outrageous. Do you actually want 15%?"
The layman doesn't know that the auction industry is absolutely profitable. Not only does the seller have to pay the principal commission of 10% of the final transaction price, but the buyer also has to pay the buyer commission of 12% of the transaction price. This is not counting. If the auction fails, the auction house will also charge the principal commission of 3% of the auction price. To put it bluntly, if the reserve price of an item is set at 500,000, the auction house will have at least 15,000 yuan. If the final transaction price is
For 1 million, the auction house will charge a commission of 100,000 for the seller and 120,000 for the buyer, which will add up to 220,000. This is still the domestic commission ratio. The commission ratio of large foreign auction houses can reach up to 20%. The transaction price of the Yuan blue and white can of Guigu Xiashan is equivalent to over 200 million yuan, and the commission is only 230 million yuan. In addition, the commission of the client, the auction house's business income alone can almost reach 50 million yuan.
Zhu Biwei smiled and said, "Don't worry, two of you, we will not make any random offers. If you think this is good, we can add another exemption clause to the entrustment contract. If you two can find direct evidence, we will calculate it according to 10%.
Of course, Tang Feng didn't want the auction house to make money, but he had no choice. The auction house had a mature operation method. They would put forward various gimmicks and hype them up to attract target customers to the door. So, although Tang Feng reluctantly nodded and agreed, he said: "No problem."
After the two parties agreed, Zhu Biwei began to fit the contract, check the contract, check the identity, check the physical objects, etc. After a lot of busy work, both parties signed the letters separately and all the procedures were completed. Zhu Biwei reached out to Tang Feng and said, "Mr. Tang, happy cooperation."
"Happy cooperation!" Tang Feng stretched out his hand to hold her.
After signing the contract for the commissioned auction, the things were left at Zhuji Auction House. Tang Feng and Chen Yan returned to his Alto car. After getting on the car, Chen Yan started the car and said to Tang Feng: "Hey, buddy, the sharp fruit plate just now was really beautiful."
"Oh." Tang Feng patted Chen Yan's shoulder sympathetically and said, "It has nothing to do with you whether she is beautiful or not. Go home and take your wife to coax the child." Chen Yan's wife Tang Feng has seen a typical northern woman, who is healthy and has normal development. She is not a half-old woman, but also makes me average.
The car started, and the two went all the way to Tongzhou. In the car, Chen Yan said, "Her name is Liu Yue. The morning breeze and waning moon on the willow shore are poetic enough, right?" It seems that this mouse is revolver and has caught the cat's heart.
Tang Feng smiled and said, "Oh, are you looking at me now? You even asked about your name."
"Hey, just her noble appearance, I won't make myself bored." Chen Yan said, "I just asked the front desk lady."
Tang Feng said: "Before the troops and horses move, you have to use the right method, but you have to be careful of a fire in the backyard." The two of them spent time talking and saying it. More than half an hour later, Aoto arrived at the entrance of Chen Yan's alley.
When she arrived at the Chen family, Chen Yan's wife greeted Tang Feng enthusiastically and said, "Oh, Tang Feng, please sit down." Then she moved the chair and served tea again and was very busy. The more polite she was, the more she felt more and more jealous Tang Feng felt. He hurriedly became polite. Tang Feng had met Chen Yan's wife several times, but she had never paid attention to him. When he met today, he suddenly became so enthusiastic that he was very uncomfortable.
While Chen Yan went to the inner room to get the rubbing, his wife said, "Brother Tang Feng, I have to thank you very much. Thank you for the official seal you helped our second son pick up last time. Experts have read it, it is true."
"Haha, that's right." Tang Feng kept saying polite words, but he was sighing in his heart, this person is so tiring to live.
"Tang Feng, this is the folded version, please show it." Chen Yan excitedly took out a sixteen-fold book from the inner room, and handed it to Tang Feng with an ancient blue cover. Tang Feng took the folded version with both hands. The folded version looked like a book, but each page of it was connected.
Tang Feng was looking at it, and Chen Yan introduced: "This paper must be ancient paper. I have used it to test it. It is difficult to judge the specific age. The seller said it was from the Ming and Qing dynasties."
Tang Feng expanded the first page of the book, and the first two rows clearly read: The inscription of the Duobao Pagoda induction of Qianfu Temple in Xijing, Datang. This copy is the opening inscription of Yan Zhenqing's "Duobao Pagoda Inscription" instead of the full text.
Tang Feng looked at it for a while and nodded and said, "Brother Chen, you are lucky. Although you can't determine the specific time, this thing must be real. Keep it well, it will definitely have collection value."
When Chen Yan's wife heard this, she said happily: "Tang Feng, you sit first, I'll go out to buy groceries first."
Tang Feng nodded and said, "Hey, sister-in-law, you are busy."
Chen Yan's wife broke back as soon as she went out. She said to Chen Yan: "Second son, you must keep Brother Tang Feng, and you have to eat before leaving."
Chen Yan picked up a big leak and felt a little proud. He was full of confidence in his words. He said impatiently: "You need to say this, I understand, hurry up."
As soon as his wife left, Chen Yan began to show off his tricks. He said to Tang Feng shamelessly: "If this unlucky daughter-in-law dares to be disobedient, I will give up her immediately!"
"I said, don't!" Tang Feng immediately drew a clear line with him. He didn't want to be chased by his wife - he was holding a kitchen knife.
"You really believe it. I'm just talking casually. I can change my wife, but my child cannot change my dear mother." Chen Yan finally said a few words, but before his complacent, he soon began to boast about himself. He said, "I have no other advantages, but my mentality is good. Don't look at me just following you, I've been learning. When I glanced at it, it was from the Ming and Qing dynasties."
"Return to the Ming and Qing dynasties?" Since he said that he had a good mentality, Tang Feng was blunt, and he said, "This is from the Qingming dynasty!"
