Chapter 052 The Elf-like Girl
Qin Guan now also knows that Tian Huangshi is now highly sought after and of extremely high value, so Qin Guan is not too surprised when Master Wu says so.
"Master Wu, you'd better tell me the price of these two Tianhuang stones." Qin Guandao.
Master Wu quickly said: "Okay, now the price of Tianhuang stone is relatively transparent. I estimate your slightly smaller Tianhuang frozen stone to be worth 24 million Hong Kong dollars."
"As for this large silver-coated gold piece, although the unit price per gram is slightly lower, due to its large size, I estimate it at 35 million."
Hearing this price, Qin Guan's heart was pounding.
This is just the base price, the auction price will definitely be higher.
He really didn't expect that the most inconspicuous Tianhuang stones, which he took from Zhou Taixiang on a whim and without spending a penny, turned out to be the most valuable among the jewelry and jade he brought back.
Qin Guan immediately made up his mind that when he returned to the ancient plane, he must send people to Shoushan to search there first and get all the Tianhuang stones that could be purchased.
Manager Zhang took out a contract with a smile and said to Qin Guan: "Mr. Qin, this is the contract text for our auction. If you have no objection, we can set the base price according to the appraiser's price, and then we can prepare for the rest.
The auction matters.”
"These auction items of yours are all high-quality products. They will be included in the jade auction next month. We will definitely increase our publicity efforts by then. I believe your items will definitely fetch a high price."
Qin Guan looked at the contract. It was a fixed auction contract of the auction company. There were no other problems. However, Qin Guan pointed to one item and said: "I am not very satisfied with the commission ratio drawn by your company. I hope to reduce the commission ratio.
"
The commission ratio written in the contract is 10%. Even if it is calculated based on the base price of Qin Guan's items, more than 8 million will be deducted. The auction price will definitely be more than this. Qin Guan will have to spend no less than 1,000 yuan on commission alone.
Ten thousand.
Manager Zhang began to patiently explain to Qin Guan, "Mr. Qin, the 10% commission is the auction house's customary price. It is the same price for all major auction companies and cannot be changed."
"Look, when you leave your treasure in our hands, we have a lot of work to do. We have to take care of it, insure it, send it to a professional institution for appraisal and evaluation, issue a certificate, and organize publicity, including going to TV stations, the Internet, and magazines.
Our auction company also invested a lot in advertising online.”
"Through our publicity and operation, your auction items will sell for a higher price. In fact, it is you who ultimately benefits, right?"
Manager Zhang was eloquent, but Qin Guan was unmoved. It was all money.
Qin Guan spread his hands: "If you don't lower the commission, then I will have no choice but to find another auction company. I believe that with these treasures of mine, I will not worry about finding an auction company willing to take over, such as Sotheby's and Poly."
Manager Zhang looked at Qin Guan and said helplessly, "Okay, I'll ask my supervisor for instructions."
Not long after, a senior executive came over. After understanding the situation, he continued to persuade Qin Guan, starting from the scale of Christie's to the brand, and then talked about the performance of previous years. In short, he said that Christie's was the best, and Qin Guan gave up the 10%.
Definitely worth the money.
However, Qin Guan insisted that if he did not reduce the commission, he would switch to another company. These items of his were too attractive. The supervisor had no choice but to lose this excellent customer. In the end, he had to reduce the commission to 6%.
This is already their bottom line.
The contract is signed and the treasure is sent to the treasure house.
Qin Guan left Christie's with a contract in hand. Manager Zhang walked to the door in person, handed over his business card respectfully, and said to Qin Guan: "Our jade auction is scheduled to be held on the 18th next month, and there are still 33 days left.
Oh my god, by then Mr. Qin can use the contract in your hand to receive a ticket to visit and watch people vying for your treasure. It will be very exciting to watch the price rising."
Qin Guandao: "If I have time then, I will come."
Qin Guan checked into the Victoria Hotel. After dinner, when the lights were on, he walked alone on the seaside road of Victoria Bay, looking at the night view of the bay. Ferries passed by from time to time. The Bank of China Building and the International Financial Center Building opposite were brightly lit, reflected in the sea water.
Inside, the gentle waves turned into a fine patch of light.
The scene here is so familiar. He came here to experience it more than a year ago, but at that time, there were two people.
He held the elf-like girl in his arms, and the two of them leaned on the railing, talking and laughing, pointing at the building opposite and calling out their names one by one.
Qin Guan fell into deep memories, sadness emerged from the bottom of his heart,
In the tiny ripples, a girl's figure seemed to rise, looking at Qin Guan with a bright smile.
He murmured, "Yuzhu."
The sea breeze blew by, making Qin Guan feel extremely cold.
It turns out that in Hong Kong in November, the sea breeze is also so bone-chilling, especially for a lonely person.
Qin Guan only spent one night in Hong Kong and returned to Hangzhou the next day. 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 Lin Tiesheng of Inspur Technology, telling him that the batch of books Qin Guan had taken a few days ago had all been converted into text versions and entered into the app software database.
Qin Guan can take those books back at any time.
Driving to Inspur Technology again, Qin Guan took back the box of ancient books, paid another 200,000 deposit, and waited to see their results in two months.
After returning home, Qin Guan boredly opened the book box and took out a book at random. He didn't care what book it was, he just flipped through it. The pages of the book clattered, stopped at one page, and suddenly a line of words came into his eyes.
eye.
"The jianjia is green, and the white dew is like 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 struck a chord directly in his heart, making Qin Guan unable to take his eyes away anymore.
Is my lover also waiting for me on the other side of the water?
Qin Guan looked seriously,
"The jianjia is green, and the white dew is like frost. The so-called Yiren is on the side of the water. If you follow it back, the road is long and blocked. If you follow it back, you will be in the middle of the water.
The flowers are blooming, the dew is still blooming..."
'The reeds grow thickly along the water's edge, and the white dew in late autumn turns to frost. The person I miss is on the other side of the river. I went upstream to pursue him, but the road was rugged and long. Going down the river in pursuit, I seemed to be in the middle of the water.'
After reading this poem, Qin Guan actually felt as if his soul was peaceful and peaceful, which made his heart, which had been depressed because of missing Yuzhu these days, feel much comforted.
At this moment, Qin Guan suddenly became very interested in the classics in his hands. Although he was average in knowledge, he also knew that it was a poem "Jian Jia" in the Book of Songs.
