Chapter 9 Auction, start!
Chapter 9. Auction, start!
"Twenty percent? This is against the rules..."

Auction houses generally only take [-]% of the transaction price when doing business. This is the custom. Two percent is equivalent to doubling the price.

Wu Zui was stunned, looking at Ren Ping, but it didn't look like he was joking.

Although Wu Yousheng still looked calm and composed.

But there was already a storm in my heart:
In the cultural relics industry, whether it is investment or auction, the biggest fear is selling to the wrong person!
Only by finding the right buyer can we get the highest profit!
This is his experience after working in the industry for decades. He had always been vague in the past, only knowing it but not knowing why. It was only in recent years that he suddenly realized it.

Unexpectedly, this kid actually pointed it out!
He is a real businessman, and he will never hurt his interests because of his sophistication, so even if his son begged just now, he didn't sell Ren Ping any favors.

But things are different now, this kid is really curious!

"Good guy, are you starting my auction house business?"

Wu Yousheng smiled slightly, taking the opportunity to calm down:
"I still don't understand, why are you?"

"Based on this deal, You Shengxing will definitely not lose money. As for the others, can you let me hold you back for a while?"

While speaking, Ren Ping handed over the note he had just written.

Wu Yousheng took a look, and couldn't help frowning even deeper.

There really isn't anything special about the five things Ren Ping picked, and they are all unowned, which means that whatever the final deal is, it's all a matter of friendship.

It seems that this kid has a plan in mind.

However, he was right about one thing.

You Shengxing will never lose money on this deal!

Although the two items just now are not easy to sell, if you find a good buyer, they will at least cost 10,000+.

With these foundations in place, is there any reason not to do this business?

As for how much Ren Ping can get in the end, it depends on his own ability...

"Okay, what else do you want?"

"It's nothing, just let the drunkard help me."

"Agreed?"

"A word is settled!"

……

"Bottle! What the hell are you doing! Why don't you just say you don't want those two things?"

After leaving Wu Yousheng's office, Wu Zui asked after him.

Without saying anything, Ren Ping came to the front desk, asked for a piece of letter paper, and wrote something furiously.

While writing, he didn’t even look up:
"Drunkard, if I say that I want to make money from you You Shengxing, will you blame me?"

Wu Zui was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"Don't worry, I won't cheat you. What I mean is that I can help You Shengxing bid a high price on the court, but you just need to bleed a little."

"This...if everyone earns money together, what's wrong with that?"

"I can rest assured that,"

Ren Ping breathed a sigh of relief, and a few minutes later, he stuffed the letter into Wu Zui's hand: "Try to find these people, and send the invitation letter over to invite them to participate in the special auction the day after tomorrow."

Wu Zui picked it up and took a look, only to see that it was a long list.

There are at least dozens of names listed above. In addition, life background, address, and contact information are all available.

It seems that they are all Tibetan friends, but I don’t even know most of them!

"What the hell are you doing?"

"These people are more or less related to the five things I chose. If they can come, I'm sure to sell them at a high price,"

Ren Ping simply explained.

"However... there is one more important thing, the Jinshi He family, do you have any acquaintances?"

Jinshi He's family is the only one missing in this list, and also the most in need of contact.

Unfortunately, the information in the system is not complete enough.

At this time, Wu Zui probably realized something, and lowered his head to think:
"No, but I can try to find it. The He family has a lot of connections in Nanling, so there should be a way."

"Okay, then I'll help you too, and other people on this list, as many as you can come the day after tomorrow, the more the better!"

The value of cultural relics involves all aspects. Most of the time, people only care about the historical significance, humanistic connotation, and technological level in a broad sense, but ignore the special value for individuals.

"Tanzhou Chronicle" is a typical example for Jinshi He's family!
In the next two days, the two concentrated their energy and searched one by one against the list.

Some of them have business dealings with Youshengxing themselves, so they call directly to invite;
Some phone calls cannot be reached, and invitation letters are issued through other peer channels;

There are also phone numbers and addresses that I can't find, so I have to do everything possible to ask someone to tell me and invite them to participate in the special auction, and I don't know how much human relationship was spent.

Finally, by the night before, basically all notifications were in place.

Ren Ping was still a little worried and asked while eating instant noodles:

"The He family has really notified you? Are you sure?"

Wu Zui sucked on the hot noodles:
"It's hard to say...Huhu, I've been notified by someone anyway, Huh...I still want to ask you, are you sure?"

Ren Ping carefully thought about the front and rear joints, and he was almost certain, but he wasn't sure if he could say [-]%.

I was holding the bowl in a daze when suddenly, a familiar message emerged from my mind:

[Hidden check-in address detected: Yousheng Auction House]

[Get sign-in reward: Qianlong Imperial Brush]

[Physical delivery, please pay attention to check]

Grandpa...just now...

Ren Ping cursed inwardly, but couldn't help showing joy on his face:
"It was hard to say at first, but now I have..."

On the exact day, early in the morning, Ren Ping went out from Renrenzhai.

Ye Shiyun on the side muttered softly:
"Didn't it mean revitalizing the Ren family? I haven't even seen a shadow in the past two days... Could it be that my temper has turned back?"

Ren Ping didn't hear it at all, so he called Didi and went straight to the auction site.

This unlimited special event of Youshengxing is the largest ever, and even the venue is chosen in the conference hall of a five-star hotel.

When Ren Ping arrived, he saw that the venue was crowded and bustling, and most of the invited collectors had already arrived.

Wu and his son stood on one side of the hall, welcoming everyone to take their seats.

Only when no one was paying attention, Wu Yousheng turned his smile and glared at his son viciously:

"Stinky boy! Who told you to set up such an expensive venue! Fifty thousand a day! If you can't even collect this rent in the end, look, I won't take your skin off!"

It's a long story.

It turned out that when Wu Zui made the phone call against the list two days ago, he thought that it would be a big show anyway, so why not start over.

So I canceled the cheap place I booked before and rebooked a five-star hotel conference room, and all the Tibetan friends I invited before told me to change the address one by one.

I just forgot to inform Wu Yousheng...

"Eh? Bottle, you're here!"

While avoiding his father's murderous eyes, Wu Zui said hello quickly.

Ren Ping came over to say hello to Wu Yousheng, and exchanged some pleasantries.

The latter was in a bad mood about his son's prodigal family, so he just snorted:
"Little bottle, have you seen your performance today?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that the auctioneer we hired this time is quite well established and refused to be assisted by any partner, so the plan has changed. The five items will be left until the end, and you will be the main auctioneer."

"It's... well,"

Ren Ping scratched his head:

"Uncle Wu, can you stop calling me Little Pingzi? It sounds like a eunuch."

"Is that called Xiao Renzi?"

"...Forget it, you can do whatever you want, I saw a few people just now, I don't know if you paid attention."

As he spoke, he pointed to a few carefree figures sitting on their backs in the front row of the venue.

"It's those people surnamed Kang!"

Wu Zui recognized it at a glance and raised the corner of his mouth: "What good can they do if they come? They are probably here to cause trouble!"

"Ignore them, let's start now."

Wu Yousheng raised his hand.

Before he finished speaking, there was a soft gong.

The auction has officially started!
