Chen Wenzhe pays special attention to tasks, mainly appraisal tasks, but almost all of them are door-to-door appraisal tasks.
For some customers who have the intention of auctioning but do not go to the company, the company will send people to the door every time to appraise the items. If the items are right and the value is high enough, the owner will be mobilized to bid.
This is considered a one-time business, and there is a commission, but compared to a pawn transaction, the commission is much less, because the handling fees charged by the auction house are relatively low.
It seems that the maximum is 12%, and for something worth millions, the maximum profit is 120,000.
After deducting some costs, it would be good to earn 60,000 yuan.
Even if the appraiser takes 20% of the profit, it will only cost about 10,000 yuan.
Of course, if you add up, the auction company does a lot of business every month.
You have to work hard and collect more than a dozen treasures a month for auction, and you will make a lot of money.
In addition to this kind of tasks, there are also some employment tasks.
It's just some wealthy locals who have taken a fancy to a treasure somewhere and ask someone to help it appraise it. The price of an appraisal fee has been agreed upon in advance.
For this kind of task, appropriate rewards will be given based on the value of the items appraised.
The higher the value, the higher the appraisal fee will naturally be.
Coupled with some business trip subsidies and the like, you will earn even more.
However, for this kind of task, relatively famous appraisers are usually hired.
People like Chen Wenzhe, who suddenly appeared as a first-level appraiser, would definitely not be trusted, so they would naturally not hire him.
After understanding the internal operations of the company, Chen Wenzhe realized that it is not difficult to achieve hundreds of million-level transactions if you work hard.
In a place like Dahai City, there is no shortage of wealthy customers, so naturally there is no shortage of treasures.
As long as you have enough eyesight, there are plenty of tasks at the auction house.
It can be said that no matter how much you collect, you can sell them every month.
Therefore, for the auction house, naturally the more items it collects, the more money it makes.
For appraisers, only those who can identify authenticity are qualified. If you make mistakes frequently, companies will not dare to use you.
"Eight missions a month seems a bit too much!"
"Huh? There is a loophole. As long as you complete eight transactions, you have completed eight tasks!"
"Eight transactions, as long as the value of the item exceeds 60,000, it is enough? The level of small boutiques in the Republic of China?"
Chen Wenzhe searched for the task and found that there were many people who wanted to take out many antiques at once and put them up for auction.
Don’t worry, half of them are genuine and must be burned with high incense!
Calculating it this way, it's really not a simple task to shoot eight small boutiques every month.
He can see the loopholes. The company has been running for so many years and it is not just a living thing.
If you want to go out for appraisal and the appraisal is not good, then the mission will be in vain.
Instead, the company calls you and asks you to return to the company to help appraise the items. No matter whether the items are authentic or fake, as long as the appraisal is completed, it is considered a task.
The more he researched, the more truths Chen Wenzhe found inside.
"It feels like I fell from a big pit into a small pit? It's still a pit!"
It is not easy to be supported by the state, and you must have certain obligations!
"If you want to find a way to be promoted to a second-level appraiser, then you won't have to travel outside every month. Instead, you will have to wait in the company. You only need to appraise eight items and that's it!"
Such an idea should be the dream of all young appraisers, right?
No matter where you are, the higher the level, the better the benefits!
"Huh? The identification task in the antique shop? I accepted it!"
I was browsing this company's assignments for this month, and unexpectedly I saw an assignment from Chenghuangmiao Antique City at a glance.
It's not a regular store, but a new street stall.
It’s really normal for street stall owners like this to not take out the good stuff and set up a stall after receiving it, but instead think about selling it for auction.
And such a task is obviously unreliable, otherwise no one would take it.
Chen Wenzhe is different. He wants to go to the Antique City anyway, so he just wants to go and have a look. If it happens, isn't it just a mission?
Just browse through the tasks, maybe there are more interesting tasks?
Unexpectedly, after searching around, there was actually a customer near his home who wanted to provide soapstone for auction.
I looked at the time and saw that this task had just been released. No one had seen it yet, right?
Chen Wenzhe took it without any hesitation.
There are two tasks, one in the antique city and one near home. I'll check it out when I get home. If I'm lucky, I might be able to complete both tasks at once.
After confirming his next job as a first-level appraiser, Chen Wenzhe lost his mind and continued to work in the hall.
So, after staying up until noon and having a meal at the company, Chen Wenzhe simply left after getting his work permit.
I took my things and took a taxi to the Antique City.
The stall owner in the antique city had a lot of things up for auction, but he didn't say what they were specifically.
Chen Wenzhe was relatively familiar with the Antique City and quickly came to the stall owner.
But when he saw the things on his stall, Chen Wenzhe was a little disappointed.
This guy's stall was actually full of Gao Guyu, especially some of the familiar shapes, which made Chen Wenzhe even more disappointed.
In fact, these cultural relics are more "favored" by counterfeiters, so collectors need to be more careful!
It can be said that Hongshan jade is the most sought after and most hurtful ancient jade, followed by Warring States jade.
"In our auction house, you can look at all kinds of antiques, but we don't look at things from the Hongshan culture."
This is the "posture" of some auction houses. Although he has never been to a gold medal auction, he has been a member of the gold medal pawn for a while, so he still knows this unspoken rule.
It is no longer a matter of one or two years that Hongshan Jade has been shut down.
The reason for rejection is very simple. There are too many fakes of Hongshan Culture jades, and many collectors are "smart" and it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity.
Taking the "Jade Pig Dragon" as an example, how many "Jade Pig Dragons" could the "Hongshan Culture" produce?
The number given by the cultural relic appraisal expert of Gold Medal Pawn is: no more than 200 pieces.
In the past 20 years since the 1980s, only three "Jade Pig Dragons" have been unearthed, and several others have been collected from the private sector.
Based on the number of stone tombs discovered so far, 100 is probably the limit.
The item that Chen Wenzhe encountered before was completely delivered to his doorstep and stuffed into his hands. He couldn't help but look at it.
Besides, he had just opened his store at that time and did not have a clear understanding of the antique market.
In fact, it was at that time that he still had the patience and the idea to take a look at the Red Mountain Jade.
Maybe it was because of this that he was able to obtain a jade pig dragon from the middle period of Hongshan?
Thinking of this, Chen Wenzhe made an effort.
Maybe their Hongshan Jade is also real?
"Hey!" Looking at the things on the stall again, Chen Wenzhe couldn't help but sigh again.
