Chapter 052: The elf-like girl
Qin Guan now also knows that Tian Huangshi is now popular and has a very high value, so Qin Guan was not too surprised when Master Wu said this.
"Master Wu, you'd better tell me the price of these two pieces of Tianhuangshi." Qin Guan said.
Master Wu quickly said, "Okay, the price of Tianhuang stone is relatively transparent now. I estimate that your slightly smaller Tianhuang frozen stone is 240,000 Hong Kong dollars."
"Although the unit price per gram of this large silver-wrapped gold is slightly lower, I estimate it to be 350,000 due to its large size."
When Qin Guan heard this price, his heart was pounding.
This is just the bottom price, the auction price will definitely be higher.
He really didn't expect that the most inconspicuous pieces of Tianhuangshi were taken from Zhou Taixiang for a moment, and without spending a penny, he actually brought back the most valuable pieces of jewelry and jade.
Qin Guan immediately made up his mind that when he returned to the ancient plane, he must send someone to Shoushan, search the place first, and get all the Tianhuangshi that could be acquired.
Manager Zhang smiled and took out a contract and said to Qin Guan: "Mr. Qin, this is the contract text of our auction. If you have no different opinions, we can set the lowest price according to the appraiser's price, and then we can prepare for the subsequent auction."
"These items you have are all high-quality products, and they happen to participate in the jade auction next month. We will definitely increase the publicity efforts at that time. I believe your lot will be sold at a high price."
Qin Guan looked at the contract. It was a fixed auction contract for the auction company, and there was no problem with the others. However, Qin Guan pointed to one of them and said: "I am not very satisfied with the commission ratio taken by your company. I hope it can reduce the commission ratio."
The commission ratio written in the contract is 10%. Even if the reserve price of Qin Guan and other items is calculated, it will be deducted more than 80,000 yuan. At that time, the auction price will definitely be greater than that. Qin Guan will have to pay no less than ten million in commission alone.
Manager Zhang began to explain patiently to Qin Guan, "Mr. Qin, the commission of 10% is the usual price of auction houses. All major auction companies have this price, and it is difficult to change."
"You see, you handed the baby in our hands. We have a lot of work to do. We have to be responsible for custody, insurance, and send it to professional institutions for appraisal and evaluation, issuance of certificates, and organize publicity and advertise on TV stations, the Internet, and magazines. Our auction company has also invested a lot."
"Through our publicity operations, your lot will be sold at a higher price, but in fact, you will benefit in the end, right?"
Manager Zhang is clever, but Qin Guan is unmoved. It's all money.
Qin Guan spread his hands: "If you don't lower the commission, I can only change one. I believe that with these treasures, I will not worry about not being able to find an auction company that I am willing to take over, such as Sotheby's and Poly."
Manager Zhang saw that he couldn't speak Qin Guan, so he could only say helplessly: "Okay, I'll ask my supervisor."
Soon, a senior supervisor came over and after learning about the situation, he continued to convince Qin Guan to relate to the brand from the scale of Christie's, and then talked about the performance of previous years. In short, they were the best in Christie's, and Qin Guan took out this 10% and was definitely worth the money.
But Qin Guan insisted that if he didn't reduce the commission, he would change to another company. These things from him were too attractive. The supervisor had no choice but to lose this excellent customer, so he had to reduce the commission to 6%, which was their bottom line.
When the contract is signed, the baby is sent to the treasure house.
Qin Guan left Christie's with a contract. Manager Zhang personally delivered it to the door, respectfully handed over the business card, and said to Qin Guan: "Our special jade auction is scheduled to be held on the 18th of next month, and there are still 33 days left. At that time, Mr. Qin can use the contract in your hand to receive a ticket to visit and witness people competing for your baby. The feeling of watching the price rise is also very exciting."
Qin Guan said: "If I have time, I will come."
Qin Guan checked into the Victoria Hotel. After dinner, the lights were on. He walked alone on the beach in Victoria Bay, watching the night view of the bay. From time to time, ferries passed by. The Bank of China Building opposite and the International Financial Center Building were brightly lit, reflected in the sea water, turning into a fine spot of light with the gentle waves.
The scene here is so familiar that he had come to experience it more than a year ago, but at that time, there were two people.
He held the elf-like girl, and the two leaned against the railings and laughed, pointed to the building opposite, and called out their names one by one.
Qin Guan was trapped in deep memories, and sadness rose from the bottom of his heart.
In the tiny ripples, a girl seemed to have risen, showing a bright smile, looking at Qin Guan.
He murmured, "Yuzhu."
The sea breeze blew, making Qin Guan feel extremely cold.
It turns out that in Hong Kong in November, the sea breeze is so cold, especially for a lonely person.
Qin Guan only spent one night in Hong Kong and returned to Hangzhou the next day. It can be said that he came and went in a hurry.
He will come over on the day of the auction.
As soon as he returned to Hangzhou, Qin Guan received a call from Inspur Technology Lin Tiesheng, telling him that the batch of books Qin Guan took a few days ago had been made into text versions and entered into the app software database.
Qin Guan can take back the booklets at any time.
After driving to Inspur Technology again, Qin Guan took back the box of ancient books and paid another 20,000 yuan deposit. He waited for two months to see their results.
When he got home, Qin Guan was bored and opened the book box and took out a book casually. He didn't care what kind of book it was. He just flipped it around casually, and the pages of the book roared. When he stopped on a page, a line of words suddenly came into his eyes.
"The reeds are green and the white dew turns into frost. The so-called beauty is on the side of the water."
The so-called beauty is on the side of the water.
This sentence hits the heart and makes Qin Guan unable to move his eyes any longer.
Is my beauty waiting for me?
Qin Guan looks serious,
"The reeds are green and the white dew turns into frost. The so-called beauty is on the side of the water, and follows it with a long way to go. Follow it with it with a long way. Follow it with it with a long way, as if it is in the middle of the water.
The reeds are lush, and the white dew has not dried......"
‘The reeds are densely packed with water, and the white dew is frost in late autumn. The person I misses is on the side of the river. I go upstream and pursue it, and the road is rugged and long. I go downstream and pursue it, as if it is in the middle of the water.’
After reading this poem, Qin Guan actually felt a sense of quietness and drifting out of the world, which made his heart, which was soothed a lot because of missing Yuzhu these days.
At this moment, Qin Guan suddenly became very interested in the classics in his hands. Although he was knowledgeable, he also knew that this was a poem "Jian Jia" in the Book of Songs.
