- Chapter 130 Great Determination
Zhou Xia was also very touched after listening to her words.
Indeed, the auction business looks quite glamorous, but only those who are truly engaged in this business will understand the pain behind it. The collection of auction items alone is enough to make the weak-willed give up.
"If Zhou Xia hadn't been engaged in this industry as soon as she graduated, she would have had deep feelings for it. If you choose to enter this industry only after obtaining the archaeological identification system, I'm afraid you won't be able to sustain it for long.
Zhou Xia also said, "Indeed, I think the current auction market, although there are quite a lot of dissatisfaction, but on the whole, auction is more friendly and intuitive to new collectors. At least, it is better than trade." It is much better to just go to the market and buy things. No matter what, they have been carefully selected by appraisers. It is a place worthy of our careful investment, and I am willing to do my part in this."
Liu Yuqing¡¯s eyes fell on him. Although Zhou Xia didn¡¯t say much, it fully demonstrated that he did have deep feelings for this industry, and he was also a very emotional person. If this were not the case, with Zhou Xia's current ability, he could have jumped out alone, and there would be no need to partner with Xu Yaohui.
Before she could sigh more, the lively Xu Liuxin came over to cause trouble, and asked Liu Yuqing if she was planning to put this Chenghua blue and white porcelain up for auction again.
Liu Yuqing chuckled and said, "It seems that in your eyes, Xin'er, I have become a kind of role that prompts people to kill others, specializing in poaching other people's good things."
Xu Liuxin chuckled, "That's right! Sister Yuqing is in the auction business, and she is so dedicated and dedicated. It would be strange if she didn't want to put good things on the auction. By the way, at every auction We can indeed see a lot of good things, thanks to your efforts."
"It's good if Xin'er can understand us. Of course, we are not saints, so we still have to pay the fees." Liu Yuqing said with a smile.
"I can understand this, otherwise it would be a loss-making operation, who would be willing to do it!" Although Xu Liuxin is not old, she also knows the inside story quite well.
"It would be best if Uncle Xu could think this way." Liu Yuqing said expectantly. Liu Yuqing also knew the financial situation of Xu Yaohui's family, so she said such a thing.
It is still difficult to get Xu Yaohui to put this thing up for auction.
Because, Xu Yaohui needs to cash out this thing as soon as possible in order to maintain normal business activities. Although it is said that buying such a thing is quite accidental, it can also be said that it is not expected by everyone. But when you really have such a thing in your hands, it still makes people feel extremely excited when they think about the huge profits it can bring.
Xu Liuxin smiled and said to Zhou Xia, "I guess, Zhou Xia, you are more inclined to send this Chenghua blue and white porcelain to the auction!"
Zhou Xia replied, "Well! I actually don't care, it just depends on what Uncle Xu wants."
Xu Liuxin said that he was duplicitous and despised him.
Zhou Xia said he didn¡¯t mind, and that was his true thought. No matter what, if you send it to the auction, you might be able to get more money, it can also accumulate fame and reputation for Tiandi Auction Company, and it can win the favor of Liu Yuqing. Naturally, he is willing to do such a thing. If you don't go to the auction and trade directly in private, the advantage is that it can be cashed out quickly, you can get more cash, and if you have the opportunity, you can buy more treasures.
This truth is not only understood by Zhou Xia, but also by Liu Yuqing and even Xu Liuxin.
After talking to the two of them, Liu Yuqing thought for a while and whispered a few words to Zhou Xia. What she meant was to ask Zhou Xia if she wanted to ask Zhao Xiangbo to come over and take a look.
Zhou Xia has no special opinion on this point.
Liu Yuqing meant that Zhao Xiangbo would not blame him for not notifying him of the good things he received.
Zhou Xia thinks it¡¯s okay. Zhao Xiangbo will know about it sooner or later. If he is notified earlier, he can gain some favor. Otherwise, he will definitely be nagged to death.
Then, Zhou Xia called Zhao Xiangbo.
Zhao Xiangbo was a little surprised when he received the call, "I wonder how you dare to take the initiative to call me. Is it about repairing the Ding kiln porcelain in the morning? I haven't sent it over yet!"
Zhou Xia knew that this old man had rich associations, but he was used to it, so he said calmly, "It's not that matter. The repair of the porcelain is left to Mr. Zhao. I feel relieved. I'm calling this time. Mainly, do you want Mr. Zhao to do us another favor?"
"Tell me, what's the matter? I can help you.Will definitely help. "Zhao Xiangbo is very proud, but in fact he seems too boring.
"It's like this. We just bought a piece of Chenghua blue and white porcelain. It's a relatively large halberd. We would like to ask Mr. Zhao to come over and help us do an appraisal to see if it is genuine." Zhou Xia was very polite. say.
Zhao Xiangbo laughed loudly and said, "That's right! I've decided to help you with this. Wherever you are, I'll be there right away."
Zhou Xia said he was in Xu Yaohui¡¯s store and just asked him to come directly.
Zhao Xiangbo smiled and said yes, and said that he was destined to work as a coolie for Zhou Xia.
"This, the conscience of heaven and earth, no matter how courageous Zhou Xia is, would not dare to use him as a coolie."
In fact, Zhao Xiangbo took the initiative to do many things, but he liked to say this, so Zhou Xia had no choice but to smile bitterly.
Xu Liuxin was a little surprised and asked Zhou Xia, "When did your relationship with Grandpa Zhao become so good?"
Zhou Xia could only laugh, "The world is changing very quickly!"
Xu Liuxin also laughed. She also knew that it would be better to inform Zhao Xiangbo as soon as possible about such a thing, otherwise, everyone's ears would be damaged again. Although after his arrival, everyone's ears could not escape the fate of being ravaged, but it would be better to have less trouble.
Zhao Xiangbo¡¯s speed was quite fast. Liu Yuanshan and Liu Zeqing looked at the blue and white porcelain carefully and came to a conclusion. Not long after, when they were discussing with Xu Zhendong, Xu Yaohui and the others, Zhao Xiangbo arrived.
"Hey, Lao Liu is here too! Damn it, I'm still too late! Zhou Xia, you kid is so unkind! Fortunately, I worked so hard to call and help you find someone to repair your Ding kiln porcelain." Zhao Xiangbo He always has a loud voice and loves to be first. Seeing Liu Yuanshan and the others rushing to the front, he couldn't help but shout out.
Zhou Xia could only smile bitterly. This was also what Zhao Xiangbo didn't like.
Liu Yuqing asked him in surprise, "Zhou Xia, when did you receive the porcelain from Ding kiln again?"
Zhou Xia replied with a wry smile, "When I went to the ghost market this morning, it was a broken weapon. It was badly scratched and needed to be repaired. Therefore, I asked Mr. Zhao to find someone to help."
"After the restoration, it will open our eyes. Although Ding kiln porcelain is not uncommon, I guess that since it is worthy of restoration, the quality should be quite good." Liu Yuqing guessed, she was also from a logical point of view After reasoning, and after experiencing so many things and authentic products, she became more and more confident in Zhou Xia's vision. At the very least, the things he bought were all genuine, and he also had quite a few precious collections.
Zhou Xia nodded and said yes.
Xu Liuxin also said, "There are five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty! They are not enough to make you stinky."
Liu Yuqing smiled. She also knew that the current market situation for Ding kiln porcelain was not very good. She would talk about other things after seeing the true appearance of the restored porcelain. She was not in a hurry now.
After Zhao Xiangbo greeted a few people, he immediately went to see the Chenghua blue and white piece they had just received.
This is the same as Xu Zhendong, Liu Yuanshan and the others. This is also the usual behavior of experts like them from the older generation when they see such precious blue and white porcelain.
"Everyone is accustomed to Zhao Xiangbo's behavior. No matter how outrageous he says, it won't stir up much trouble at all.
However, Xu Zhendong, Liu Yuanshan and Liu Zeqing, after hearing what he said about Zhou Xia¡¯s purchase of Ding kiln porcelain, couldn¡¯t help but turn their attention to this young man who had been picking up porcelain frequently recently, and stayed for a while.
They all sighed that his luck seemed to be too good.
Of course, what corresponds to this is that Zhou Xia's eyesight has now reached a quite terrifying level.
Every time he makes a move, he almost always gets something. In comparison, Xu Yaohui, who has been in this industry for decades, is weak.
Xu Yaohui seemed to feel this, and said with a smile, "Don't look at me, there is no way I can be compared to that monster Zhou Xia."
have to! Zhou Xia has now upgraded to a monster. Fortunately, this monster is now haunted by Xu Liuxin, an eccentric little girl. Otherwise, it would have come to bite someone.
Xu Zhendong asked Xu Yaohui what happened to Zhou Xia's Ding kiln porcelain, and why he hadn't heard him mention it before.
Xu Yaohui gave an overview of what happened in the morning. As a result, they looked at Zhou Xia more like they were looking at a monster.
Although Zhou Xia was talking to Xu Liuxin and the others, he could still feel the gaze. What he could do about it was to regard it as praise and encouragement, and then work hard to do better.
Zhao Xiangbo appreciates porcelainOnly when you are calm can you calm down.
This also gives everyone a relatively quiet communication environment.
Liu Yuqing also went over to talk to Liu Yuanshan and Liu Zeqing and expressed her views on the half-owner of this porcelain, Zhou Xia.
Now, what they need to deal with is Xu Yaohui.
If you want them to send something to the auction, now is the best opportunity. Otherwise, if you miss it for a while, the thing may be sold by them.
Finally, it was Liu Yuanshan who said, "Yaohui, do you plan to keep this piece of Chenghua blue and white porcelain for yourself or what?"
As soon as Xu Yaohui heard what he said, he knew there would be such a show.
In fact, when Liu Yuqing appeared, he had already expected such a situation. He also made a case in his heart, just waiting for him to ask questions!
Xu Yaohui calmly replied, "Well, I have to ask Zhou Xia if he wants to collect it. I bought this piece of porcelain with him. If he wants to collect it, I have to consider his opinion first."
Everyone turned their attention to Zhou Xia, and Zhou Xia replied, "I don't have any objections, and I don't want to collect it now. Uncle Xu, just make up your mind.
Okay, Zhou Xia kicked the ball back again.
"You are very slippery! Although this piece of blue and white porcelain is a rare treasure, I have no intention of collecting it. The cost of collecting it is a bit high." Xu Yaohui said with a smile. At this point, he was also prepared. Yes, he just saw Liu Yuqing doing Zhou Xia's work over there. In addition, Zhou Xia, like his father Xu Zhendong, was an employee of the auction company. Out of a sense of responsibility and the like, it was easy to get the job done. of.
"You bought it for more than 100,000 yuan, but the cost is still high! Collecting and collecting does not mean collecting without hiding." Xu Zhendong was quite speechless.
Collect but not hide.
This goes against the spirit of collection.
However, in the current market, there are very few people who can actually collect.
Xu Yaohui's job is as an antique dealer, and it is normal to have antiques in and out of his hands.
Liu Yuanshan and his other auction companies also perform similar tasks. What they hope to encourage more people to do is to have more people exchange collections, instead of just keeping them in their hands and not taking them out.
Liu Yuanshan said, "Such a good thing is indeed a rare masterpiece in ten years. If you keep it in your hands and can play with it and appreciate it from time to time, it is indeed a pleasing thing. But since Yaohui you don't plan to collect it, why not just keep it? How about leaving it to our auction company to run the operation? There is no way to go to the autumn auction this time, but the spring auction next year is a good time. As everyone knows, it is particularly difficult to collect lots now, so just support our work. How about it? The competition among auction companies nowadays is extremely fierce. Without two things that can hold up the scene, it is really difficult to gain a foothold."
Yanag Zeqing also took up the topic and said, "If this Chenghua blue and white porcelain can be kept until next spring for auction, the market will definitely recover a bit. If you keep it in your hands for now, we can all appreciate it for a longer time. Old Xu, what do you think?"
Xu Yaohui could only smile bitterly, "Actually, if we don't collect it, we can sell it in any way, including the spring auction. We also support the operation of the auction. But now, Zhou Xia and I have The funds are relatively tight. I discussed with him, and we originally planned to go shopping for some good things in this autumn auction."
Liu Yuanshan also knows clearly that Xu Yaohui is crying for poverty! After all, the last time Xuande blue and white porcelain was put up for autumn auction, the results were not seen yet. It will take some time for the auction to settle.
Xu Yaohui is in the antique business. Without working capital, this business will be impossible.
Although we are familiar with each other and have a good relationship with each other, it would be bad if it really affects other people's business. The last time someone was willing to hand over Xuande blue and white flowers to an auction company, it proved that their relationship was quite good and they were particularly willing to give face.
Liu Yuanshan then said, "Well! We can all think of ways to solve the funding problem, but it is not an exaggeration to say that one piece of Chenghua blue and white porcelain like this will be produced every ten years. If nothing else, as long as it is publicized, This influence alone is enough to make the auction brilliant. Moreover, if such blue and white porcelain is kept in the store, it can also bring great benefits to the business. "
Xu Yaohui replied, "If we can find the funds, there will be no problem. Maybe we can find more treasures."
"It's best not to rush and take action!" Liu Yuanshan said. He was determined to get a Chenghua blue and white porcelain like this for next year's spring auction. Xu Yaohui and ZhouThe problem that Xia and the two are facing now is just a lack of funds. As long as they solve this problem, based on their friendship with the two of them, it will be a matter of course for this blue and white porcelain to go to the spring auction.
Yanagisawa Kiyonori and Xu Yaohui discussed how to estimate the value of the blue and white porcelain first. Under the current market conditions, how much the blue and white porcelain could be sold for. In the past, Chenghua blue and white porcelain also had considerable reference prices.
Unlike Zhou Xia who still needs to go online to check information, Xu Yaohui and Liu Zeqing are not particularly sensitive to market conditions. According to the unanimous judgment of the two people, the market value of a Chenghua blue and white porcelain halberd of this type should be at least around 13 million.
This is not a small sum, so both parties are a little confused.
The key to the auction is that the realization is too slow. After someone buys it, payment is also a big problem. Especially now, buyers from the mainland and people in the industry all shake their heads with a wry smile when they mention it.
If Xu Yaohui had made the purchase through an insider or directly contacted the collector, he would have been able to clear up both the money and the goods. Of course, this price will naturally not be higher than the auction price.
Fortunately, the Liu family has relatively strong financial strength. They run this auction company. To a large extent, they are also engaged in the shouting business. They want to increase their influence through this. The auction companies that are really particularly profitable are those scammer companies. Their intention is to make a fortune. Among the well-known auction companies in the country, very few actually make big money, especially those who charge sky-high prices and fail to pay for several years, leaving the auction company's accounts in a mess.
After repeated and detailed discussions with Xu Yaohui, Liu Yuanshan and Liu Zeqing proposed that they first pool together 10 million funds and lend them interest-free to run the business. This can be regarded as the price the Liu family paid for this piece of Chenghua blue and white porcelain to be auctioned in the spring.
After all, it is impossible to let a horse run without letting it eat grass. No matter how good the relationship is, we cannot allow others to engage in loss-making business and affect normal operations.
With this funding, Xu Yaohui will be able to have more money, and the antique shop he runs will not be too embarrassed.
Zhou Xia can also feel free to buy some good things that he likes. The Liu family was not worried that they would not be able to repay the money. The items they sent for the autumn auction alone were enough to repay the money.
The problem of liquidity is a troublesome matter.
Zhao Xiangbo also came to join in the fun later. He admired the Liu family's courage to spend such a large sum of money to plan for the future. Of course, what Zhao Xiangbo thinks more about is that if this blue and white porcelain is kept in the store, he can come here often to appreciate it. (To be continued. - Didn't finish reading?
