Shi Lei was very sure of his intentions before, but when he heard the auction house say this, he also felt that doing so seemed to be lacking in consideration.

It’s not about the final transaction price, but about Shi Lei only considered himself, not about the feelings of participating in the auction and auction house.

Such an important jade was photographed so secretly, and there is no doubt that it was a secret bead.

The winning company will not be satisfied. Even if they can get this jade at a relatively low price, the impact on their brand will be much weaker during the whole process and even the bonus to their brand after taking this jade.

The auction house is even more unsatisfied. As the person on the other end of the phone said, such a piece of jade is obviously not enough just for auction from their auction house. What they need is to use the entire momentum and auction process of this piece of jade to establish the brand effect of their auction house.

Song Miaomiao obviously thought so. She also saw Shi Lei's hesitation and took the initiative to speak: "Shi Lei, you really have no considerations in this matter. There are many ways to get liquidity. You can even ask the auction house to advance part of the payment, but you can't let this piece of jade change hands silently. This is not fair enough for both the buyer and the seller, and the auction house they handle. Why do they do this for you?"

Shi Lei nodded and said to the phone: "Are you free now? Why don't we have an interview?"

The other party smiled. He knew that this was Shi Lei's reassurance, and said, "I'm free at any time, but I'm about to get off work at this time. Let's do this, Mr. Shi talks about a place, I'll go find you?"

"Then you come to my house directly. There was a table of dishes. Come here and let's have something together."

The other party laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll go and disturb Mr. Shi for a meal."

"I'll send you the address..."

As soon as the phone was hung up, Qu Xingye's phone came in again before he had time to send out the address.

"Mr. Shi Lei said just two words, "Qu Xingye was in a bad mood, probably because the phone was not going well.

"Why, communication is not going well?"

"I made two consecutive calls, and the other party said that buying such a piece of jade is not only a matter of the jade itself, but also involves many aspects. So, they all said that if you must insist on completing the deal tomorrow night, they can only give up."

Shi Lei smiled and said, "I hung up the phone just now, and I feel that I don't think so. In this way, if you contact those two companies, you will say, I've changed my mind. Generally speaking, the shooting will start around the Spring Festival this year, but by then, you will definitely not be just the five of them, nor can you take pictures behind closed doors."

"Really?" Qu Xingye was overjoyed. He originally thought that Shi Lei would find it difficult to change his mind.

"It's great! In fact, they don't care if there are only five of them. The competition between the five companies will not be more tragic than that of twenty. They just can't agree to take pictures behind closed doors."

"Sorry, I didn't think it carefully just now, which made it difficult for you to do."

Qu Xingye replied with a smile: "Your Madam Shi has been worrying too much, so I just made two calls."

Shi Lei said again: "I will discuss with the auction house to see if they can provide part of the funds first so that you can pay off the debt first. If the money is not enough, I will help you with guarantees..."

"Really? That's great! Mr. Shi, thank you!"

"Okay, don't be polite to me when it comes to this. Okay, I won't tell you anymore. I'll have an appointment with the auction house to discuss in detail. After the end, I'll tell you the confirmed news."

"Okay, Mr. Shi, please be busy first!" Qu Xingye hung up the phone. He knew that his factory must be back. Even if he didn't give a penny, as long as Shi Lei was willing to help him guarantee, his creditor would give him face no matter what. At worst, he would pay a part of the interest himself.

Shi Lei sent the address and chatted with Song Miaomiao for a while. The takeaway was delivered. The security guard at the door also called in and asked Shi Lei if he could let the auction house's people come in.

He went upstairs and called Fan Dongliu downstairs to have dinner, and Shi Lei also heard the doorbell.

"Hello, Mr. Lai, please come in quickly." After Shi Lei opened the door, he smiled and let the person in.

The person who came to Daming Lai Yijun, he walked in with a smile and said, "Mr. Shi is really good. I wanted to buy it at the beginning, but I just couldn't catch up. There were only nine houses, and it was sold too quickly."

"Mr. Lai won't tell me long ago that if the market is not opened, I can ask the developer to leave a set for you."

"Haha, Master Shi and Master Wei have a close relationship, but I dare not bother Master Shi."

After entering the door, Shi Lei introduced Song Miaomiao and Fan Dongliu to Lai Yijun. The few of them greeted each other, so they went to the dining room together, poured wine, and started eating.

"I thought it would take some time to talk to Mr. Shi, but I didn't expect that Mr. Shi would change his mind in one sentence." After Lai Yijun put down his wine glass, he went straight to the point.

Shi Lei smiled and said, "I am indeed a little lacking in consideration. The main reason is that this piece of jade is not my own..." He told Lai Yijun about the situation of jade, and then said, "Mr. Qu, a few years ago, I lost my ambition and owed a lot of money, but I was taken to the factory to pay off the debt. Seeing that the repayment period was right in front of me, I was also worried for him. So, I probably had to have a reluctant request to Mr. Lai."

Lai Yijun understood as soon as he heard this. He put down his chopsticks, looked at Shi Lei, and said, "Does Mr. Shi want to use this piece of jade to mortgage a sum of money in our auction house?"

Shi Lei waved his hand and said, "Mr. Lai, we are very familiar with each other, so don't use these official rhetorics. This is the meaning, but the mortgage cannot be said like this. After all, jade is different from artworks, and it has a clear market value. I'm not worried about your company, but after all... hehe... and it's urgent to be in power. I believe Mr. Lai can understand this truth."

Lai Yijun smiled and said, "Mr. Shi spoke. I must have done a beautiful job. Otherwise, the girl would not scold me if she knew about it. However, after all, we are just an auction house and our cash ability is really limited. There is not much money to use on the books. Can I ask, Mr. Shi plans to set the price of this jade unsold jade? "

"Two million!"

Lai Yijun pursed her lips and said, "The risk is not small. Once the sale fails, the commission will be paid for 200 million yuan."

Shi Lei smiled and said, "I'll take the jadeite to Mr. Lai, and you will understand that 200 million is actually no risk."

After hearing this, Song Miaomiao got up and helped Shi Lei take out the jade from the safe. When he placed it in front of Lai Yijun, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Good thing! This is definitely something that can be passed down from generation to generation! Mr. Shi, I have no problem. It is not an exaggeration to say that this piece of jade is a minimum price of 200 million yuan."

"So, Mr. Lai?" Shi Lei looked at him with a smile.

Lai Yijun said: "In this way, I ask how much money there is in the account that can be used."

After saying that, Lai Yijun got up and walked to the side and called, and came back soon, saying, "Let's do this, I will charge you three points for the commission. I won't disclose it to you. You can hand over this jade to our auction house, and I will give you 80 million in cash. Mr. Shi, our company's cash capacity is really limited. I personally want to get half of this 80 million, which is basically my limit."

Shi Lei thought about it and found that he only needed 20 million, and the remaining 60 million for Qu Xingye was enough to solve his urgent need.

"Okay, then as Mr. Lai said, I hope the cooperation is pleasant."

Lai Yijun laughed and said, "Happy cooperation!".
