Master descends to earth

Chapter 160 Complete a small goal first

Liu Sheng Huimei smiled and said: "They are like ants on a hot pot after recovering their senses. They tried their best to get acquainted with you, Master, and even begged in front of Father with the cheek, and kept saying that they should abandon their previous suspicions. It's really shameless!"

Su Yuan laughed out loud, and could think of Yagyuzaemon's incomparably cheerful expression. In fact, the little devil is quite simple. His innate admiration for the strong goes deep into his bone marrow. As for face, it is not a problem at all.

During World War II, as a defeated country, it was supervised by the United States. The U.S. Army Command in Japan was called the government’s Taishang government, and the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, MacArthur, was called the Taishang Emperor, and was even honored as the Emperor’s Emperor by the islanders.

Back then, he was the mastermind of the Tokyo Massacre, the executioner with blood in his hands. As a result, he was regarded as a god and became an idol in the hearts of the islanders at that time.

When he left, he originally wanted to sneak away, but when he went out, he found that people all over Tokyo spontaneously saw him off along the street, and even cried bitterly, reluctant to let him leave.

In the end, even MacArthur was moved and cried. He never dreamed that he would have such a shocking influence in the island country!

Therefore, the islanders are a dull nation, easily controlled by brainwashing, and worshiping the strong is a deep-rooted nature.

Thinking of this, Su Yuan nodded and said, "If that's the case, let's meet and see how sincere they are?"

Huimei Liusheng contacted the other party immediately, and made an appointment to meet at two o'clock in the afternoon, but it happened exactly at two o'clock, Su Yuan wondered if he had already been squatting at the door, knocking on the door?
"Master Su, I'm Rinko Inoue, the operation officer of Tokyo Auction, please take care of me!"

Su Yuan looked at the sexy and charming Inoue, a black silk OL, protruding forward and backward, especially the pair of peach blossom eyes, which were watery and made people imagine.

He waved his hands, asked the three of them to sit down, and asked, "I don't know why Miss Inoue came all the way to Longquan?"

Rinko Inoue hurriedly stood up again, directly bowed deeply, and said respectfully: "This time, I hope that the master will cooperate with Tokyo Auction and entrust us with your works for auction."

Su Yuan picked up the teacup and said in silence for a moment: "If I remember correctly, it seems that the Tokyo Auction is only in its sixth year this year?"

Rinko Inoue was shocked. It seemed that the other party knew the inside story, and said more cautiously: "It's a great honor to get the master's attention. Before the auction, antique dealers have long held the right to speak in the entire art market. The system is mature and deeply rooted. Almost It will not be affected by the market environment, and self-protection is the biggest feature.”

"Even the two world leaders have to give up after more than ten years of hard work. It is conceivable how difficult it is."

Linzi Inoue was very smart, and told Su Yuan the truth, sincerely said: "With the bursting of the economic bubble and the rise of China's economy, a large number of buyers are looking for artworks in island countries, and the domestic auction market has gradually opened."

"Although breaking the tradition and holding a public auction, it is still relatively closed, and it is still difficult for the outside world to know a lot of information. This is one of the main reasons why it is now a treasure hunting place."

"The price is lower and there are fewer fakes. Many collectors started collecting early, and the price they bought back then was low, so the reserve price is not high, the auction items are more authentic, and there are not many familiar goods..."

Su Yuan put down his teacup, interrupted the other party directly, and wrote lightly: "I don't think the so-called auction market is at its best stage. Judging from the collection situation, the existing auction houses have not collected the best items. Mainly low-end and high-quality products are still in the hands of collectors, waiting to be sold.”

"Because most of the goods are trade goods, the valuation is cheap, and most of them are middlemen and brokers. The circulation is high, and it is difficult to form regular customers. Most of the auctions will be sold within a reasonable price range. It is difficult to fetch a high price, isn't it?"

"What's more, many small auction companies appeared overnight, with uneven quality and mixed real and fake, which had a bad impact on the market. Auction costs were high, rents rose sharply during the peak auction season, and taxes were high, as high as 30% to 40% of profits. %."

""Different from collectors in mainland China, most collectors in island countries are reluctant to sell, and generally do not send multiple bids each time.Coupled with the strict tax inspection by the government, it is difficult for auction houses to truly enter the hearts of collectors. "

"In many cases, collectors don't send their collections to auction out of personal will, but your auction company wants to sell them. In desperation, you can only take out your collections because of human dignity. In this case, the bids are naturally good or bad. adulterated."

Linzi Inoue did not expect Su Yuan to be so proficient in auctions, took a deep breath, and quickly explained: "You are right, but our auction company has a different business philosophy. develop according to the capability requirements and the characteristics of the local market.”

After speaking, he took out a few brochures, held them to Su Yuan with both hands, and said with a smile: "The Tokyo market has its own characteristics. The porcelain and bronze wares made in old kilns contained in the folk, as well as ancient tea utensils, stationery items, and iron pots and flower wares. There is considerable accumulation, which is worthy of in-depth exploration.”

"For example, we organized several special sessions this year: Yun Yun Ling Xiang - special session on tea sets, aloes, and flower vessels, Buddha's fortune and gold - special session on Buddha-making and bronze mirrors, special session on Fusang Elegance - collection of essences from ancient times to the present, and Dongying Jifang—Porcelain Miscellaneous and Wenfang special sessions. They are all white glove special sessions, and the turnover rate is extremely high, which means that they have successfully tapped the value of potential artworks.”

"As for famous treasures, we also have a good performance. For example, we collected a bronze tripod from the Western Zhou Dynasty from the Shanzhong Trading Company. It was a Rong tripod. It was originally collected by Wu Dazheng and described many times. The sources are orderly and quite precious.”

"There is also a Gui furnace with six-direction gossip drum and nail pattern in the official kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty. It first appeared in the Taolihui. At that time, many antique masters including Goro Sakamoto wanted to keep it for themselves, and it was eventually acquired by the famous collector Oka. We also recruited what was hidden by the wild family.”

Linzi Inoue secretly observed Su Yuan's expression, and finally pleaded: "Your famous sword is the most sought-after treasure now, if you can cooperate with us, I believe the response will be absolutely overwhelming..."

"Master, you can rest assured that Tokyo Auction will do its best and will never disappoint your entrustment, so..."

Su Yuan looked at the three people kneeling in front of him, especially Rinko Inoue, who bowed to the ground with a reverent attitude, nodded and said: "Sincerity cannot be empty words, you must have studied my background before you came, even if there is no auction, can't Yuan's name be the same?" A deal at a sky-high price?"

Rinko Inoue was shocked all over, and she didn't dare to raise her head. Facing Su Yuan, she was under great pressure. Thinking about the other party's background and connections, all her rhetoric seemed extremely pale and powerless.

After a long time, Su Yuan finally heard Su Yuan continue: "Cooperation is not impossible, but there is a condition!"
