The No. 1 Merchant in the World

Then he changed hands and took out the jade carving from the backpack and placed it on the reception desk.

The jade carving is engraved with a compassionate face of Guanyin Bodhisattva, holding a baby in his hand, which is exactly what Shang Tianji said about Guanyin giving birth. This jade carving was naturally taken out by Shang Tianji from the Tianji Building, and it is not ordinary at first glance. .

As for the other item that was taken out of the Tianji building, Shang Tianji did not take it out at this time.

Chapter 11 Jade Carving

"I can contact our general manager, but I don't know if our general manager is available. If not, please understand."

As a member of the Wufang Auction House, the cheongsam receptionist still had some discernment under her influence. At this time, she also saw that the jade carving was not an ordinary thing. After a little thought, she also agreed to Shang Tianji's request.

"En." Shang Tianji nodded.

"Thank you sir for your understanding. Please wait a moment. I will contact our general manager for you." The cheongsam receptionist said politely after receiving Shang Tianji's approval, and stopped talking nonsense, and directly picked up the phone on the workbench After dialing, after connecting, he briefly talked about Shang Tianji's affairs, then paused, as if he had received some instructions, and then hung up the phone.

"Hello, sir. I have already told our general manager about your matter. Our general manager intends to talk to you in detail. He is on his way now and will arrive in half an hour. Please wait a moment." After the cheongsam woman hung up the phone, she smiled.

"Thank you, I wonder if there are any vacancies in your hotel?" After hearing that the matter was completed, Shang Tianji also showed a smile on his face, thanked him, took the jade carving back, and asked.

"You're welcome, our hotel still has a lot of vacancies. Excuse me, sir, do you want a room?" The cheongsam receptionist was polite, then checked the computer on the reception desk, and asked.

"Well, open one for me, a normal one is fine, let's open it for a day first." Shang Tianji nodded, took out his ID card from his body and handed it over, and said.

After all, Shang Tianji stayed on the top of the hill for a long time, and then a car drove over, full of dust and dust, but he wanted to discuss business with the general manager of the hotel, so he had better tidy up his appearance. Respect is also respect for oneself.

It will take some time for the general manager of the hotel to arrive, so Shang Tianji simply opened a room in the Wufang Hotel.

However, Shang Tianji is running out of cash, and the price of the rooms here is extremely expensive. The money obtained by the white wolf with empty gloves is still lying in the fake account set up by Xiao Linglong, and it is going to be transferred to Shang Tianji It may take some time for the bank card account to be created, so with Shang Tianji's current wealth, it is estimated that he can live in an ordinary room in the Wufang Hotel for a day.

"Wait a minute when your general manager is here, just let me know." After paying for the room card and getting back his ID card, Shang Tianji said something to the cheongsam receptionist, then took the room card and walked towards the room that is temporarily his own. s room.

Ding Dong

Half an hour later, the doorbell rang outside Shang Tianji's room.

"Is your general manager here?" At this time, Shang Tianji had already packed up. After hearing the doorbell and opening the door, he found that the person standing in front of the door was the woman in cheongsam who was the front desk receptionist of the hotel. Guessed something, but still asked.

"Yes sir, our general manager has arrived, please come to her office now, I wonder if you are free now?" the cheongsam woman nodded and said.

"Please wait for me, I'll come as soon as I go." Shang Tianji said to the cheongsam woman when he heard the hotel's general manager arrive, and then returned to the room.

When he came out again, Shang Tianji already had an extra backpack in his hand, and then, led by the cheongsam woman, he walked to the office of the general manager of the hotel.

Not long after, Shang Tianji came to the office of the general manager of the hotel under the leadership of the cheongsam woman.

The office of the general manager of the hotel covers an area of ​​tens of square meters. Inside the office, there are several sofas, a coffee table, a desk, a computer, and a water dispenser. The whole office looks simple and clear, and it is still a bit empty.

However, the general manager of the hotel was not in the office at this time.

"Sir, I'm sorry, our general manager was still here just now. There may be some serious incident, so I have to leave for a while. Please don't worry about it, sir." The cheongsam woman led Shang Tianji to sit on the sofa in the office Next, he fetched a glass of water for Shang Tianji, and said apologetically.

"It doesn't have to be like this." Shang Tianji didn't care too much, and let it go, after all, he had waited for half an hour before, and now he is not in a hurry.

咚咚

At this time, there was a sound of hard soles hitting the floor from the office door, and Shang Tianji also subconsciously raised his head and looked around.

I saw a tall woman in professional suits walking in from outside the office with high heels on her feet.

This woman is about 27 or [-] years old. She has a thin willow waist, willow-leaf eyebrows, and a pair of bright eyes, shining like stars. She wears a black women's suit, and inside is a pair of female peaks tightly wrapped around her chest. He wore a white shirt with black trousers underneath. His long black hair was tied up with a string, and he looked neat and tidy.

"Sir, this is our general manager, Mr. Yang. Hello, Mr. Yang." At this moment, the cheongsam woman introduced to Shang Tianji, and then said hello to the woman who came into the office.

"You are Mr. Shang Tianji. I'm sorry. I just went out to deal with something urgent. I wasted a little time and kept you waiting." The woman who walked into the office, that is, Mr. He nodded in response to the cheongsam woman, and then said to Shang Tianji in embarrassment.

Maybe it was from the woman in cheongsam that she learned the information that Shang Tianji had left in the hotel with her ID card, and thus learned of Shang Tianji's identity, so this woman also called out Shang Tianji's name in one mouthful.

"Mr. Yang, then I'll go back to work." After Mr. Yang walked into the office, the woman in the cheongsam also said very wittily, the next thing is not something she can meddle with as a receptionist, so she just wants to avoided.

"Well, you go back to work first, and then I will receive Mr. Shang Tianji." Mr. Yang responded to the woman in the cheongsam, and then stretched out his hand to Shang Tianji: "Hello, let's get to know each other formally. My surname is Yang. Yang from Yangliu, whose single name is Ling, and Ling from Lingtian, is the current person in charge of Wufang Hotel."

"Hello, Mr. Yang, I'm Shang Tianji, Shang from the Shang Dynasty, a secret that cannot be leaked." Shang Tianji also stood up, and shook Yang Ling's hand politely.

"Mr. Shang, please sit down. I wonder if Mr. Shang can take out the collection for me to have a look?" Yang Ling motioned for Shang Tianji to sit down, and she was also sitting on the sofa opposite Shang Tianji, and said straight to the point.

"It's natural." Shang Tianji took out the jade carving from his backpack without any hesitation.

"Mr. Shang, is it convenient for you to tell me the specific information about this jade carving?" Yang Ling took the jade carving from Shang Tianji, looked it over carefully, put the jade carving down, and asked.

"The jade carving is a family heirloom of my business. There is absolutely no problem with its origin. This jade carving is not from the hands of any famous master, so Mr. Yang can send someone to check. This jade carving has never appeared in history. And the jade carving is not Regarding the underground things, Mr. Yang can find someone to appraise this point." Naturally, Shang Tianji understood what Yang Ling meant, and there was nothing to avoid, so he said it directly.

"In this case, we want this jade carving from Wufang Auction House." Yang Ling made a decision directly.

"Mr. Yang doesn't need someone to verify the authenticity of this jade carving?" Yang Ling was so direct that Shang Tianji couldn't help asking.

"No, I still have some eyesight in the auction business." Yang Ling said with a proud expression on his face.

"Then can the jade carving meet your requirements for this auction?" Shang Tianji asked.

"Although the material used for this jade carving is not of the highest quality, it is superior in its fine workmanship and excellent carving. What's more, the carving is Guanyin Songzi, which has a very good meaning. Judging from the traces of the carving, it should be an ancient object, which can completely reach our five directions. The auction house's requirements for this auction."

"However, some of the auction items before our auction have already been ordered and announced through our official website. If Mr. Shang entrusts the jade carvings to our auction house for auction at this auction, it can only be auctioned. The second part of the auction."

"However, in the second part of the auction, all the rare and exotic objects collected by our auction house and brought by the consignor, most of them have strange and strange origins, and it is impossible to distinguish the true from the false. They may be peerless treasures. It may also be useless waste. Therefore, there is no reserve price for this part of the auction, and it depends on personal vision. If jade carvings are auctioned in this part, they may not be able to be auctioned at a high price." Yang Ling said.

"What does Mr. Yang mean?" Shang Tianji asked.

"If Mr. Shang is in a hurry to spend money, he can directly buy the jade carvings to our auction house. We will definitely give a price that satisfies Mr. Shang. If he is not in a hurry to spend money, Shang Tianji can first entrust the jade carvings to us. , Wait for the next auction, after our packaging and publicity, I believe the final transaction price of the jade carving will definitely satisfy people." Yang Ling gave his own suggestion.

"Mr. Yang, let's be honest, there is something I need in this auction, and the jade carving is just a stepping stone for me to enter the auction, so even if the final transaction price is lower, it doesn't matter."

Shang Tianji didn't hide it, saying that he didn't care too much about the final price of the jade carving, and directly stated his ultimate goal. Anyway, this is not something shameful, just explain it directly.

"If that's the case, Mr. Shang can sell us the jade carving directly, and I will send an invitation letter to the auction directly to Mr. Shang." Yang Ling smiled and said.

"That's fine." Shang Tianji pondered for a moment, nodded and said, anyway, Shang Tianji's ultimate goal is to participate in the auction. Whether the jade carvings are sold directly or auctioned is the next best thing. No matter which one is for Shang Tianji, it doesn't matter. too much impact.
