Rebirth of the Almighty Internet Celebrity

Chapter 212
Xiong Qianzhao has obtained the "authorization" from the relevant departments in the town, and even the "base price" has been set.

In this case, he made an appointment with Wu Xia. In the next few days, Liang Teng's company will be responsible for drafting the text of the agreement.

After finishing the contract of the transfer agreement, Xiong Qianzhao took it back to the town's bosses for review and approval.

This is just a process.Since the "base price" for the sale has been set, there is no reason not to approve the transfer contract written based on the base price.

After that, Xiong Qianzhao could officially represent the relevant departments in the town and sign an agreement with the company represented by Wu Xia.

The more critical details in the contract are not the price of the transfer (anyway, a premium of 200 to [-] million over the "base price" is enough), but the agreed completion time of some "transfer procedures" and the method of payment for the "transaction money".

Xiong Qianzhao has no extra experience at all with these trivial things.It is extremely difficult to do, and it may not be possible to produce something that satisfies all parties.

There is no way, he is sitting in the position of director of the "Development Zone". In fact, he has never brought in a single investment.Of course, I have never touched such "noble" things as "contracts".

Xiong Qianzhao could only hand over the work of drawing up the details of the contract to Wu Xia.

Fortunately, Wu Xia has rich experience in this area and does not think it is a problem at all.

Xiong Qianzhao declined Liang Teng's suggestion to send him home.

He still lives in a "public rental housing" arranged by the town.Everyone had dinner at a hotel in the town, and Xiong Qianzhao walked home, which didn't take long.

As for Lao Zhou from the land department, he came here with his own car.

During the dinner, Lao Zhou deliberately did not drink. After the dinner, he drove back to the "Imperial Capital" easily.

Liang Teng and Wu Xia were still driven by Yan Qianyu, who drove them back to their residence in the "English Spring" in the "Imperial Capital".

In the car, Wu Xia chatted with Liang Teng, but they also had an affair.

In Wu Xia's view, taking over a thousand acres of land in a small town is actually of little use.

In the foreseeable short to medium term, there is not much room for value-added.Although it has the reputation of being close to the "Imperial Capital", this so-called "nearness" is actually more than 5 kilometers away from the 90th Ring Road of the "Imperial Capital".

I don't know in the long run, but in the short to medium term, the real estate development momentum of the "Emperor Capital" is far from enough to "radiate" to the surrounding towns hundreds of kilometers away.

Small town land, still in its own right, is slowly appreciating.

Wu Xia could actually use her connections in the "Imperial Capital" to scout for a piece of land worth ten or eight yuan, which was no problem at all.

The point is, what's the use of her hoarding so many plots of this kind?
The only development method she can think of is to use it to build real estate.

However, the profit margins for commercial housing built on land in such small towns are far less than imagined.If you don’t know, just refer to the return rate of some ordinary commercial housing investments.

Here also has the advantage of being "close to the imperial capital".Therefore, the commercial housing built on top of the town can also sell for the housing prices of ordinary third-tier cities (equivalent to the housing prices in the urban area of ​​Liang Teng's hometown).

But that's it.

The return on real estate investment in ordinary third-tier small cities is nothing more than that.

If it was really huge, why didn't Liang Teng invest heavily in real estate in his hometown, and instead went to the "Open City" to enclose land?

Of course, after all, investing in real estate in a small town close to the "Emperor Capital" is definitely not a bargain.

However, Wu Xia frequently saw Liang Teng's "return rate" on each investment, which was always more than ten times or tens of times.This gave rise to a blind confidence in Liang Teng.

As long as you can't see through his investment intentions, often when the results are announced, it is a "magic investment" that has made huge profits.

But this time, it seems that the contrast is a bit big.

Liang Teng plans to invest in real estate in a small suburban town of the "Imperial Capital". His intention is obvious and not difficult to guess.

But no matter how carefully Wu Xia repeatedly evaluated, the profit margin was really not that big.

Wu Xia thought about something in his heart.The conversation with Liang Teng seemed a little absent-minded.

At this moment, Wu Xia's cell phone rang a text message.

For general spam, Wu Xia has a "blocking" function.People saved in her "Contacts" list can send her unlimited messages.

This was apparently a message sent to her by a friend.

To be honest, this kind of information contact is quite rare.

After all, young friends are used to contacting her through "WeChat" or sending "videos".Older friends, if you need to find her, you can call her directly.

It's really rare to text her friends like this.

Wu Xia lowered her head and read the content of the "text message".

Looking up, he saw Liang Teng looking at her curiously.

Wu Xia smiled and introduced, "It was a text message from a friend of mine who works as the manager of the 'Auction House' in the Imperial Capital. She knew that I used to like 'Beihong', 'Daqian', and 'Bouldering' for example. It is a work of a late painter. Tomorrow, their 'auction house' will auction a masterpiece "Baren Carrying Water" by the master of "Beihong". Ask me if I am interested in taking a look. If the price is right, I will auction it It can be treasured, and it can increase in value. My friend knows that although I like the paintings of 'Master Beihong', I haven't collected an authentic painting by the master so far. She thinks this is a chance to get one."

Liang Teng was a little surprised: "Master Beihong's paintings are very expensive. Why does your friend think now is a good time to buy his original work?"

Wu Xia looked down at her phone again and confirmed the starting bid for "Ba People Carrying Water" that her friend sent her.

Wu Xia said: "The starting price is 80 yuan. Although I don't know how high the final transaction price will be? But according to previous experience, it is impossible to be 10 times or 8 times more expensive than the 'starting price', right? I estimate the final transaction price The price will be locked at around 500 million. Compared with the original work of Master Beihong, this price is not too expensive, right? As we all know, this "Picture of Ba People Carrying Water" is more than 3 meters long. If the painting is authentic, the bigger it will be , the price will naturally be more expensive.”

The "starting price" for Master Beihong's original work "Ba People Carrying Water" is only 80?

Liang Teng couldn't help but be stunned.

This news is too surprising.

Liang Teng still vaguely remembers that the "Picture of Ba People Carrying Water" is quite special, and it has been "auctioned" three times.

At the first auction, everyone expected that it should fetch a good price, at least in the millions (like Wu Xia's estimate just now).

Even when you meet a collector who loves the paintings of "Master Beihong", it is possible to sell them for more than [-] million yuan.

But just before the painting was auctioned for the first time, there was an unexpected storm.

It was a well-known newspaper with a large circulation, and it actually published an article, claiming that the "Picture of Ba People Carrying Water" that was going to be auctioned was not the authentic work of Master Beihong, but a fake.

A long report published in the newspaper cited very strong evidence, that is, the original "Ba people carrying water" has been collected by a national museum and has become one of the "treasures of the museum."The original work is still well preserved, and I have never heard of any rumors of it being "lost." How could the "auction house" acquire another "Ba Men Carrying Water" by "Master Beihong" for auction?Obviously it is most likely to be parallel imports.

But in fact, the current owner of "Ba People Carrying Water" knows very well about the origin of the painting. Since owning the famous painting, he has asked experts for appraisal N times.It's impossible to get it wrong.

There are twists and turns in this, and it is also a history that can be verified.It's just that the people who know it at this time are far less than those in later generations.

It turns out that in 38, Master Beihong actually painted two identical "Ba people carrying water" paintings.

After the previous painting was created, it was put on a traveling exhibition for the public to enjoy.

At that time, a foreign minister saw this painting and loved it very much.I want to buy it, but Master Beihong donated the "recipient" of this painting and is unwilling to sell it.

Foreign envoys had no choice but to personally find Master Beihong and ask for the painting.

Master Beihong attaches great importance to the spread of his paintings abroad.He was harassed by the minister again, so he spent a few more days to create an identical "Picture of Ba People Carrying Water".

Not even selling it, just giving it to the foreign minister.

This is why there are two "authentic works" of this masterpiece.

Decades passed by in a hurry.

A few years after the advent of the new century, "Ba People Carrying Water" appeared in the public eye once again with an unknown number of owners, and it was in the form of an "auction house" that the authentic work was publicly auctioned.

The starting price is 80.

But both the current owner of the painting and the organizer of the auction are confident that the final transaction price will reach several million figures.

As a result, at this time, a major newspaper published an in-depth analysis article questioning whether the "Picture of Ba People Carrying Water" that was about to be auctioned was a fake.

At that time, China's understanding of the authentic work of Beihong was far less than that of later generations.

Many wealthy collectors who originally intended to participate in the auction also chose not to attend.

After the "auctioneer" negotiated with the big newspaper and provided a lot of strong evidence to prove that it was the "authentic work of Master Beihong", the big newspaper also quickly published a statement of apology in the newspaper published the next day.

But the bad influence has already formed.

In this environment of mixed fish and dragons, full of authenticity and falsehood, many collectors also feel that it takes time to settle before they can make a judgment.In short, I dare not take my own money to risk bidding in a short period of time.

Although the major newspapers quickly published an "apology statement," the authority of the newspapers has been highly questioned.In addition, the wealthy people who originally intended to participate in the auction will not always pay attention to the updates and statements of your newspaper...

In short, the organizer of the "auction" feels that the safest way is to postpone the auction of "Ba People Carrying Water" again.

They put this formal proposal in writing to the current owner of the painting.

Hope he can adopt it.

But the owner of the painting had someone in his family suffering from a serious illness, and their family was in decline, and they were unable to raise a huge sum of money for medical treatment.Therefore, the willingness to sell the authentic works of "Master Beihong" is very firm.

If the "auction" is really rescheduled, it will have to be delayed for three or two months at the earliest.

Patients probably can't afford to wait.

In addition, the "auctioneer" can't guarantee that the postponement of the auction of the authentic work of "Master Beihong" will definitely make a lot more money than the current auction.

That's just based on experience and theory. After the current limelight, the auction transaction price should be higher.But that's not absolute.

After considering various considerations, the most important point is that the "starting price" is 80. As long as the auction does not fail, the owner of the painting can get at least 80.This price actually meets the "psychological expectation" of the owner of the painting.

The part that comes from the premium feels like "more profit".

Still insist on holding the auction as scheduled.

As a result, Liang Teng also learned quite clearly later that the first auction of "Ba People Carrying Water" was sold for 125 million.

At the time, I didn't think the price was too low or anything.

Anyway, according to the living standards and prices of Chinese people at that time, it is quite good that an authentic master work can be auctioned for more than one million.

As a result, after 5 years, the guy who auctioned the original work of the famous artist took the "Ba people carrying water" to the "auction house" for auction.This time, it actually sold for a high price of 1700 million.

I don't know how the previous owner who was eager to sell the original work felt like?
Anyway, Liang Teng read the news reports at the time, even though the original work of Master Beihong did not belong to him, he still felt extremely regretful.

However, if there are "two" things, there are also "three" things, which is in line with the old saying of "one after another".

After a lapse of five years, "Ba People Carrying Water" was sent to the "Auction House" for the third time.

The transaction price of the third auction unexpectedly reached an astonishing 1.7 million.

This is how the market price of an authentic work by a famous artist miraculously increased by more than a hundred times in just ten years.

Liang Teng was really envious at that time.

I have been imagining that if I have millions of savings, by chance, I will also pick up this kind of "leakage" of "authentic works of famous masters".How lucky that would be!
wrong!Even if you don't have a deposit of more than one million, if you have the opportunity, you have to borrow money to pick up such a big "leak".

One, two hundred times the profit margin.

As a result, Liang Teng never encountered such a good thing in his whole life.

Now that he has been working again, unexpectedly when he ran to the "Emperor Capital", he unexpectedly encountered an opportunity to "pick up the leak" in "The Picture of Ba Ren Carrying Water"? !
It's an incredible feeling.

In Liang Teng's heart, there was no doubt.

If his memory is correct, this auction with the "starting price" locked at 80 is definitely the first auction of "Ba People Carrying Water".

But the first auction shouldn't be at this time.

This first auction should have been completed a few years earlier.And now the time for the second auction of "The Picture of Ba Ren Carrying Water" has not yet arrived.It will be some time before the third auction.

Under such circumstances, how could he catch up with the first auction?

In fact, even if it caught up with the second "auction", it would be pretty good.After all, with a price of nearly 2000 million, the value of the painting will appreciate to 5 million after 1.7 years, which is also very impressive.

Of course, if it is "missed" in the first auction, it will be even more lucky!
Liang Teng thought over and over again, and felt that his memory should not be wrong.

The greatest possibility is that after being reborn into such a "parallel world", there will always be some small differences that you will encounter.
