Suppliers from both worlds have dominated the world since Datang!

Chapter 367: Start your own auction company (thanks to book friends for the tip)! ! !

After meal.

Zhuang Zhou and Ma Changbo were welcomed into a VIP reception room again, waiting for the identification results.

Ma Changbo was busy making phone calls and dealing with work matters.

Zhuang Zhou was drinking free coffee and thinking about the problem.

Thinking back to earlier, I thought I had opened an antique shop.

When you make a little money, you start to feel complacent.

But now, come out and have a look.

Only then did I realize how stingy and narrow-minded my previous thoughts were.

Totally a frog in a well.

Now I am only 23 years old, which can be said to be the beginning of my life.

If it is limited to an antique store at this time, it seems that it is really too unrewarding.

Therefore, this trip to Egang is of great significance to Zhuang Zhou.

At least let him know that he is too insignificant now.

There is still a long way to go!

In the vast world, there is still a lot to accomplish!

"Hey, brother Zhuang, what are you thinking about?"

Ma Changbo had finished the phone call and reached out to pat Zhuang Zhou on the shoulder.

Then he sat down opposite Zhuang Zhou and drank tea.

"Mr. Ma, I was thinking that it would be really interesting to open an auction company."

Ma Changbo glanced at Zhuang Zhou, with a new enthusiasm in his eyes:

"Brother Zhuang, have you ever thought about opening your own auction company?"

"I want to! But I have no connections, so this is too difficult!"

When Ma Changbo heard this, he curled up his lips and said:

"Yes, brother Zhuang, it is indeed difficult to become bigger and stronger in this circle.

Especially if you want to become an industry giant like Christie. "

Zhuang Zhou smiled slightly and said:

"I never thought about becoming an industry giant. I just thought that in the future, my own treasures could be auctioned by my own company, which would be great."

The identification results have not yet come out.

But Zhuang Zhou is very confident.

The items taken for appraisal include emeralds, dragon-shaped golden sculptures, diamonds, and luminous pearls.

These four treasures alone may be valued at over 100 million.

That's a lot of commission.

Think about it this way, if you have more auction items in the future.

It's really better to open your own auction house.

You can save a lot of money!

"Brother Zhuang, you are still young and very capable. You cannot be so limited in what you do!"

There is obviously a deep meaning in Ma Changbo's tone.

"Mr. Ma, do you have any good suggestions?"

Ma Changbo smiled slightly:

“If you want to make a career in this industry.

You can't just be satisfied with opening an antique shop, but you need to broaden your horizons.

Look at the whole world. "

"Oh?"

Zhuang Zhou became interested in Ma Changbo's words. He put down the coffee cup in his hand and looked at Ma Changbo seriously:

"Mr. Ma, can you elaborate on this?"

Ma Changbo is obviously also very interested:

"Brother Zhuang, have you ever considered setting up an international auction company yourself to expand your auction business to a global scale?"

Zhuang Zhou was stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes widened:

"worldwide?

How can this be? "

Ma Changbo shook his head and said with a smile:

"Brother Zhuang, you are too humble.

With your vision and ability, you can definitely do it.

You know, the current auction market is no longer limited to a certain region, but is a global development trend.

As long as your auction item is attractive enough, collectors around the world will go crazy for it. "

Zhuang Zhou nodded and took a deep look at Ma Changbo:

“But Mr. Ma, I am still new in this industry and I don’t have enough connections.

If you open an auction company, I'm afraid it won't make much sense. "

After finishing his words, he heard Ma Changbo continue:

"Don't worry about connections, I have them!"

Ok!

Zhuang Zhou suddenly understood the meaning of Ma Changbo's words.

undoubtedly!

Ma Changbo's willingness to help him matchmaking this time must be for this purpose.

"Mr. Ma, do you want to open an auction company in partnership with me?"

"Brother Zhuang is really smart!"

Ma Changbo nodded noncommittally and said with a smile:

"Of course, if Brother Zhuang likes me, I really mean it!"

All in all, this is a good partnership opportunity.

Business is definitely a win-win cooperation.

This is no longer the time to fight alone.

If you can really open an auction company and expand your auction business to a global scale.

That will undoubtedly be a huge market.

and.

He has the resources and background of the entire Datang Dynasty.

In terms of jade alone, it is enough to support the supply of auction items.

There are also antique calligraphy and paintings that can be brought back one after another.

In this way, your own auction company will have huge room for development and potential.

"Mr. Ma, I have benefited a lot from your words."

Zhuang Zhou looked at Ma Changbo gratefully and expressed his decision:

"Let's do this. After this trip to Hong Kong is over, I will seriously consider what you said."

When Ma Changbo heard Zhuang Zhou's words, a glimmer of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

He knew that although Zhuang Zhou was young, he was very smart.

There are many things you don’t need to say too obviously, so the other person will understand.

That's the beauty of talking to smart people.

The two chatted for a while.

Not long after.

Li Mingsheng opened the door and walked in, his face full of joy.

"Mr. Zhuang, after appraisal, the four treasures you provided can all be put up for auction, and the valuations are very good."

Zhuang Zhou was delighted when he heard this:

"What's the starting price?"

Li Mingsheng was stunned for a moment and asked:

"Mr. Zhuang, do you want to set a minimum price?"

Now it was Zhuang Zhou's turn to be confused.

"Mr. Li, what does this mean?

Shouldn’t auction items have a starting price? "

Hearing Zhuang Zhou ask this, Li Mingsheng knew that he didn't know much about Christie's Auction House.

So he explained:

“What we make here is an appraisal price, which is a range between the lowest price and the highest price, and we will not give a starting price.

Of course, as the seller, you can also agree on a reserve price. "

Zhuang Zhou asked puzzledly:

"How to make an agreement? I don't quite understand."

"Oh, that's right."

Li Mingsheng said patiently:

"For example, let's take your emerald as an example. Our estimate here is between HK$1390 million and HK$1580 million.

Based on this price, you can agree with our company on the lowest price that can be completed, such as 20 million Hong Kong dollars. If it is lower than this price, the transaction cannot be completed. "

That's it!

Zhuang Zhou nodded slightly.

Li Mingsheng continued:

“Of course, there is also a no-reserve price, which means that the lot will be sold no matter how much the final price is, so for buyers, a lot without a reserve price may be an excellent ‘missing opportunity’!

But even if there is no reserve price for the auction, Christie's will still provide an estimate and establish a value range for the buyer's reference. "

Ok!

Zhuang Zhou said he had learned something again.

But now that he heard the valuation of the emerald, Zhuang Zhou was still shocked.

Between HK$1390 million and HK$1580 million.

This is converted into cny, which is approximately 1281 million to 1456 million.

OMG!

I can change to a villa!

This is so damn valuable!

and.

This emerald seems to be the least valuable of the four treasures provided by Zhuang Zhou.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but urge:

"what about others?

What are the valuations? ! "
