Chapter 204
"Every time the auction is full of excitement, it can solve many problems, such as money laundering or transferring funds. After the auction tonight, you can issue trust funds or bank financing tomorrow. Once a billion is successfully legally flowed into the market, it will take less than three months to raise at least three billion, or even five billion!"
"So Liu Yiqian is a businessman, he has no eyesight, and he depends on the expert team to take a picture. After taking pictures of many things, he will throw them away in the warehouse for a few years. He will not open the packaging until he takes pictures next time."
After hearing this, Wen Yiming subverted his views on Liu Yiqian, but he didn't expect that he would play capital operations like this? Is it so easy to make money?
Ling Tiancheng sighed, looked at the Twelve Mountain Shui Strip Screen, and said helplessly: "This is why I say it is a treasure that can only be played by large funds. It is not easy to hype art. Not only do you need to have a large amount of funds, but you also need to know how to avoid policy risks and know why Baoli will be estimated at 1.5 billion today?"
"That's because this kind of top-notch that can raise more than one billion at a time is rare in a century!"
"Today, all top members are welcome to participate in the Jiade auction. This event is Qi Baishi's most important special event, the twelve mountains and water screens that meet once in a century..."
After the dinner, the host officially started and announced the start of the auction tonight.
Everyone sat in the back row, not preparing to raise their signs, just to watch the excitement. Listening to the people around, ninety-nine percent were actually watching the excitement, and very few could really end up.
"Did you hear it? No one can play with them at all!"
Ling Tiancheng said disdainfully: "All of them are discerning people. The reason why we were invited is to be audiences! If Qi Baishi's Twelve Screens were indeed the best, who would carry the sedan chair for them?"
"Qi Baishi's Twelve Mountain Water Screens, starting at 300 million yuan, each bid of 50 million yuan!"
The auctioneer officially kicked off, and the whole audience was quiet, waiting for a moment to fight.
"Four hundred million!"
A middle-aged man in the front row announced loudly that he would directly raise it to 400 million!
Ling Tiancheng whispered: "The head of Taikang Fund, I heard that the major shareholder behind it is Chen Dongsheng and Chairman of Jiade."
"Fourty-five million!"
Before the auctioneer could make a bid, another sound came from the midfield, attracting the audience's attention.
"The people from Hunan Radio and Television have also stocked up a lot of modern calligraphy and paintings in the past two years, and are also big investors."
"Five hundred million!"
The willful brother Liu Yiqian finally took action and directly increased to 500 million, and the whole audience was in a commotion.
"Five hundred and fifty million!"
"Sixteen hundred million!"
"Sixty-five million!"
"Seventy million!"
In less than ten minutes, three people called out to 700 million in Twelve Screens! If you don’t know the inside story, Wen Yiming might still be excited, but since he knew it was acting, it was like chewing wax.
"Ninety-five million, Mr. Liu Yiqian bid for 900 million!"
Xiang Radio and Television gave up first, and their bottom line is estimated to be 800 million. This is also considered the market price. There is still room for appreciation after collection for a few years. Once it exceeds it, the commission is almost 1 billion, which makes no sense.
"Xiang Radio and Television is the first to stop playing, it is already beyond the budget, and there is a commission for the transaction. It is wise to give up this."
Ling Tiancheng was not worried about the fun: "Now it's Chen Dongsheng's trading business, competing with Liu Yiqian! They are all big funds preparing to raise funds, see who is more cruel?"
The whole audience is looking forward to the final result, to see who is the winner and who can get a once-in-a-century financing opportunity?
"I'll pay a billion!"
Taikang raised his sign again and loudly announced that he would add one billion yuan. The audience was in an uproar, setting a new record for Chinese calligraphy and painting, and they applauded and celebrated.
"Congratulations, a billion deal!"
This farce finally ended with a sky-high price of 100 million yuan in Taikang Fund. Before leaving, Manager Wu sighed. It was originally the pinnacle of the old man Bai Shi's life, but now he has become a money-making tool for profitable merchants. It's sad and lamentable!
It was still early to send the two old men back, and Ling Tiancheng suddenly remembered something, asked the driver to turn around and take Wen Yiming to another place.
"The pawn shop exchange meeting?"
Looking at Wen Yiming's confused expression, Ling Tiancheng explained: "Strictly speaking, it's not an auction, but to put it bluntly, it's just a matter of dealing with it. If you have good luck, you can really get a bargain."
"Many pawn shops are famous watches and jewelry. I have a friend who just eats this way. He has good eyesight and gets a bargain from death. He can make a profit exponentially."
The two got out of the car and came to the building, went up to the eighteenth floor, and went out to see the golden signboard, the headquarters of the Beijing Pawnshop Association.
"Old Cao, I haven't seen each other for a year, I've gained weight again!"
Ling Tiancheng enthusiastically hugged the fat man in his forties. It seemed that the relationship was very good. After a brief introduction, he went to the office to chat.
"You guy, you only come to me every year when you pick up bargains? It's really unauthentic."
The fat man smiled and joked, and Ling Tiancheng retorted: "Nonsense, you went to Zhongyuan for half a month last year. You ate and took it, and you became fatter and fatter!"
"Don't talk nonsense, today I'll bring Mr. Wen to the door and help him get a top-level VIP, one million."
"No problem, you can ask, I will do it, fill in the information first."
Seeing Fatty Cao leave, Ling Tiancheng explained: "In the future, I will run a VIP and go to 120 regular pawn shops in the capital. Any one can choose to be a stalemate first. You can come to find a bargain if you have nothing to do."
Wen Yiming completed all the procedures and entered his personal information into the information database. In the future, he took multiple ways to find Taobao.
"The association will have an exchange meeting in the evening, which is also the largest industry exchange this year, and you can participate."
Fatty Cao brought two people to the VIP room of Fuhua Hotel to hold an annual pawnshop event. Because it was an internal exchange, it was mainly attended by peers and VIPs.
"Let's go ahead, although it's very low-key, there are many good things. Fortunately, Lao Cao took us to attend. Especially the famous watch, this exchange meeting is actually held for the sake of peers. Look at the ten-year limited edition of Vacheron Constantin, which is at least 2 million outside, and 500,000 or 600,000 here can be handled."
The venue was full of well-dressed successful people, and they understood that the real purpose of the so-called auction was to use some good-looking deaths to clear the relationship.
Wen Yiming also wanted a few famous watches. The quality here is very new, and many of them are limited editions. If you don’t take advantage of it, you will be a bastard.
Let’s take a look at a pair of Earls, two pieces of Vacheron Constantin, all of which are less than two million, and the original price is more than six million.
"Huh? There are antiques here?"
Wen Yiming walked to the corner display cabinet by himself and found some miscellaneous items here, snuff bottles, jade artifacts, and several bronze Buddha statues?
Wen Yiming's nose moved slightly and asked the staff calmly: "Is these necessary bidding?"
"Hello, because it is a small item, there is a price tag below, so the customer has the right to complete the transaction on site."
Wen Yiming nodded, picked up a white jade snuff bottle, and saw that the patina should be in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. Then he looked at a few Buddha statues. The price was not high, so he paid for two of them.
After leaving the hotel and returning home, I quickly took out the tools and slowly opened the lotus base of a bronze Buddha statue. There were bursts of fragrance inside, and there must be a world inside.
Chapter completed!
