Christie's Auction House—

As one of the most authoritative auction houses in Hong Kong, Christie's's is very famous throughout Hong Kong.

It can be said that one-third of the art auctions in Hong Kong are held at Christie's and sold.

At this moment, a fierce auction is being held at Christie's Auction House.

What was auctioned was a Russian artwork, to be precise, the collection of manuscripts by the great Russian poet Pushkin - "Fairy Tale Poetry Collection".

Who is Pushkin, probably anyone who loves literature knows who is a great Russian writer is full of dramatic life.

The auction of manuscripts in this era is as intense as that of later generations. Therefore, the atmosphere has become very tense from the beginning of the auction.

All the rich and noble people who came from all over Hong Kong were eyeing the rare Russian writer's poems.

Therefore, the auction hall, which is not big or small, is actually full of people.

Looking around, in addition to some Hong Kong locals, there are also many blonde and blue-eyed ghosts, sitting densely in the auction seats, whispering to each other.

Faced with the nearly three or four hundred bidders in the audience, Peter Chen, the head of Christie's auction house, who was responsible for hosting the auction, was also nervous.

...

As a British man who has worked at Christie's auction house for many years, Peter Chen's original name was not Peter Chen, but after working in Hong Kong, he gave such a name in order to highly integrate into his work here.

But no matter what, Peter Chen's work here is very successful, especially with the rise of the Hong Kong art auction market, Christie's's has now sold more than Birmingham and Manchester in the UK, second only to cities such as London in the UK.

It is also because of this that the London headquarters of Christie's Auction Company decided that if the auction results in Hong Kong can still rise steadily by the end of this year, then Peter Chan will be promoted and raised to make it a role model for the auction house.

To put it bluntly, the auction house should set a "role model" and a "model worker", and let all the employees of chain auction houses learn from Peter Chen, and make good achievements for the company.

Peter Chen is also a person with a heart. Since he learned about the "insider news" from the head office, he has been trying to show himself, to improve his performance, so that everyone can know how powerful Peter Chen is in Hong Kong.

But doing auctions is different from selling big swords on the streets. You can't just shout hard and no one can support you.

After all, if you want to run an art auction, someone must provide you with the artwork and ask you to help you take the auction.

This is what Peter Chen has to worry about.

Although Hong Kong is an international metropolis, the place is very small after all, so where can so many artworks be sold? Before, he handled almost all of them collected some artworks from mainland China, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia. Because he received fewer kickbacks from auctions here, he handed them over to his company for auction.

But now-

In order to achieve results, just one or two works of art cannot satisfy his appetite. Peter Chen needs a lot of artworks that are enough to make him the king in the auction industry!

Just when Peter Chen was extremely distressed, a person appeared. To be precise, a savior appeared. He was the big boss of Wanda Trading Company - Song Zhichao.

Peter Chen never expected in his life that he would be so grateful to someone at such an age, and that he was still a young man under the age of twenty.

Peter Chen can never forget the scene when he first met Song Zhichao.

It was raining, and Peter Chan drove from his home to the auction house near Mong Kok as usual.

Just as he got out of the car with an umbrella, locked the car door with a briefcase, turned around and walked towards the company door, he saw two people waiting at the company door at a glance.

A tall bald man holding a black business umbrella, under which is a young man in a white suit.

Peter Chen has never seen a young man who can wear a suit so handsome and so chic.

How to say it, the suit is different from the double-breasted large suits on the streets now, but the very unique and compact tight suit, making the young man in front of him look more upright and handsome.

At the first moment, Peter Chen thought the other party was a movie or TV star, so he walked over without much care.

Unexpectedly, when the young man saw him coming, he took the initiative to say hello to him and called out his name, "Mr. Peter Chen".

Only then did Peter Chen realize that the other party was waiting for him when he was waiting for him.

Next, the handsome young man invited Peter Chen to a nearby cafe.

Peter Chen was not polite and followed him.

In the cafe, the two of them sat.

Peter Chen ordered a "cappuccino" and the young man ordered a black coffee.

The two of them stirred coffee, and the handsome young man introduced himself that his name was Song Zhichao and he was the boss of Wanda Trading Company.

Peter Chen has always been busy with art auctions and his job, and is not very familiar with some of the right and wrongs in Hong Kong. Therefore, after listening to Song Zhichao's self-introduction, he looked confused.

It was not until Song Zhichao took the initiative to introduce that he had some unusual works of art in his hands and wanted Christie's Auction to help with the auction that Peter Chen became a little interested in Song Zhichao.

However, this interest is only a little bit.

Because in Peter Chen's opinion, Song Zhichao is too young, and the so-called bosses of Wanda Trading Company are probably all fooling people. Peter Chen has seen many Hong Kong people.

Last time, there was a young man from a wealthy family in Hong Kong who ran a shop with a market value of several hundred million yuan and asked him to help auction a family heirloom.

Finally, Peter Chen found out through inquiry that the other party was the son of the owner of a grocery store on Temple Street. Not to mention hundreds of millions of dollars, even tens of thousands of dollars are not worth it.

As for their heirloom, it was a jar of pickled pickles dug out from the construction site. After identification, it was definitely not as old as the Republic of China.

Because of this, when we met for the first time, Peter Chen thought that Song Zhichao was like many Chinese people, a young man who likes to brag. What is the boss of Wanda? Is there such a young boss in Hong Kong?

However, out of politeness, Peter Chen still politely asked Song Zhichao what kind of help he needed. If there was really something good to help with the auction, he would give him strong support and assistance. He also said that the service purpose of their Christie's Auction Company is "two hearts" - to be safe in the auction and buy with confidence!

Song Zhichao smiled and said, "I have said that there are some works of art that I hope can help you with the auction."

"I wonder how many artworks are there in your hand?" After so long in Hong Kong, Peter Chen could speak some Cantonese words, holding a coffee cup, while tasting it, and asking casually.

Song Zhichao smiled slightly, "Not many, three hundred pieces!"

With a squirt, Peter Chen was so surprised that he almost sprayed out the coffee in his mouth.

Three hundred pieces? How is it possible!

For Peter Chan, after handling so many auctions in Hong Kong, let alone 30 pieces, even 30 pieces is a huge and super grand auction, let alone 30 pieces?

At this moment, Peter Chen had to look at the young man named Song Zhichao in front of him with admiration.

I quickly sorted out my appearance, and adjusted my attitude, turned my contempt just now into attention, and asked Song Zhichao in an almost proof-seeking tone, saying, "Is it true?"

Song Zhichao's answer was very simple: "Yes!"
