Chapter 146 A big deal worth hundreds of millions (Part 2)
When he received a call from Mr. Zheng, He Qing was surprised and happy, because he had asked Mr. Zheng to help him introduce a buyer before, and now the other party called suddenly. It was very likely that he had found a suitable buyer. In this regard
He was naturally excited. After all, his family was waiting for the money to be used, not only for buying a house and a car, but also for his subsequent daily expenses, including collection funds. These were all emergencies and must be prepared.
He Qing immediately answered Mr. Zheng's call and greeted with a smile: "Mr. Zheng, is there something wrong?"
I heard Mr. Zheng's gentle laughter from the other end of the phone and said, "Xiao He, I have some good news for you. I asked you about your matter."
"Oh, really? That's great!" He Qing said happily. He naturally knew what the other party was referring to. Sure enough, as soon as Mr. Zheng opened his mouth, he said that there was good news. If he didn't contact the buyer, he would
what is it then.
He Qing felt excited. He naturally hoped that this matter could be settled as soon as possible. If the time limit stipulated in the house purchase agreement was exceeded, not only would he not be able to buy the house, but he would also not be able to get the deposit.
Mr. Zheng said on the phone: "Xiao He, I think we should wait until we meet to discuss the specific details. Where are you now? I will take that friend to find you."
He Qing quickly replied: "I'm at the 'Jianbaozhai'. Mr. Zheng, if not, I'd better go find you, so as not to trouble you to travel such a long way."
Mr. Zheng said: "It's okay, no trouble. In fact, that friend lives near the Antique Street. He didn't come to my place. We just talked on the phone. He wants to see your painting first. You first
Get ready, I'll take him to you later."
"Well, okay." He Qinghaosheng agreed. In that case, that's the best, because he still has to go to the bank vault to pick up the painting, and Zheng's hometown is far away from here, so it's really inconvenient to go back and forth.
, and it would be much more convenient for them to take the initiative to come to you.
After saying goodbye and hanging up the phone, He Qing said goodbye to Lin Haitao and Uncle Long, and then hurried to the bank to pick up the painting. After taking out the painting, He Qing hurried back to "Yi Guxuan", feeling
Waiting a little anxiously for Mr. Zheng’s call.
Although He Qing still didn't know the background of the boss that Mr. Zheng brought to discuss business with him, he trusted him very much. He just thought that it was the person Mr. Zheng brought, so there was nothing wrong with him.
If money hadn't been tight, He Qing would never have thought of giving away Qiu Ying's original painting, but now he was in urgent need of money and had to reluctantly part with it. In fact, his appreciation of ancient paintings was still extremely limited, so good
Putting the things in his hands can be said to be "a waste of natural resources". If they can be transferred to the hands of people who know the goods, the value of good paintings can be realized even more, which can be regarded as the beauty of becoming.
At this point, He Qing could only comfort himself like this!
After waiting for about an hour, the cell phone in He Qing's pocket finally rang. He quickly took it out to answer the call. The call was from Mr. Zheng. He asked Mr. Zheng and the others to come directly to his store.
After a while, several people appeared at the door of He Qing's antique shop. There were five people in total. Except for Mr. Zheng, He Qing didn't recognize any of the other four people. They were all unfamiliar faces.
When he saw so many people coming, He Qing was a little surprised. He didn't expect that what Mr. Zheng brought was not a boss, but a group of people.
The group of people all looked to be in their fifties or sixties, and all of them looked polite and elegant, obviously very cultured people.
"Mr. Zheng——" He Qing immediately greeted him enthusiastically.
Mr. Zheng chuckled and said: "Xiao He, have you been waiting for a long time? Oh, by the way, let me introduce you first. These are all my old friends. They are from the Jiangzhou Collection Association. This one
It’s Vice-President Elder Lin.”
"Hello!" He Qing nodded politely to everyone.
Hearing Mr. Zheng's words, He Qing suddenly realized that the "uninvited guests" in front of him were members of the Collection Association. He didn't know anything about the situation of the Collection Association, so naturally he didn't know their internal member structure.
"Everyone, please sit inside." He Qing immediately greeted everyone enthusiastically and ordered Gu Qing to serve tea.
"Xiao He, come here." Later, Mr. Zheng called He Qing aside and whispered, "I asked President Tuolin to do you a favor and hold an auction specially for you, that is, to auction your painting
Qiu Ying’s works, what do you think of this approach?”
"Preparing an auction?!" He Qing said in surprise, "Mr. Zheng, are you holding an auction within your collection association?"
Mr. Zheng nodded and replied: "It's almost the same, but it's open. People from outside can also come and participate in the auction, so there will be more bidders, and the final transaction price of the painting will be higher! Originally, I wanted to give
You introduced a big boss. He likes Qiu Ying's works very much, especially the large ones. I also know that he can afford a high price, but then I thought about it carefully and felt that it would be a bit of a loss for you. After all, there are so many
Personal competition can increase the room for appreciation, so I found President Lin and asked him to help organize an auction for you. I don’t know what you think."
"Very good!" He Qing nodded repeatedly, "Of course this is the best one to fight!"
Mr. Zheng had thought so thoughtfully for him, and he was filled with gratitude. However, he had some doubts about how long it would take for the auction to be officially held.
So he asked casually: "Mr. Zheng, when will the filming start?"
Mr. Zheng said: "You don't have to wait long, President Lin can do it tonight, because they happen to have an exchange meeting, but they have a request, which is also the prerequisite for holding a special auction for you."
"What is the request?" He Qing asked in surprise.
Mr. Zheng replied: "They have to take a look at your stuff first. Only if it's good enough can it be qualified. Otherwise, it's not worth the trouble."
"Of course!" He Qing nodded and said, "I'll take it out right away and show it to them."
"Well, go ahead." Mr. Zheng raised his hand gently and said, "There is absolutely nothing wrong with that painting! President Lin and the others will definitely be very satisfied after seeing it."
He Qing turned around and walked into the inner room, while Mr. Zheng was busy greeting President Lin and others.
He Qing quickly took out Qiu Ying's "Hunting Picture of the Ming Dynasty" and carefully unfolded it on the table for Chairman Lin and others to view and appraise.
When they saw the painting clearly, everyone's interest suddenly rose, and they couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"It's really good! This should be Qiu Ying's authentic work!" someone praised.
President Lin, who was covered in stubble, kept nodding his head in appreciation, and said to He Qing with a smile on his face: "Brother He, your painting is really good! Authentic works of Qiu Ying are very rare now, and his ordinary works are on the market.
They are all worth a lot, not to mention such a wonderful palace painting!"
"Oh, really?" He Qing smiled and said happily, "Thank you for helping me."
"You're welcome!" President Lin quickly shook his head and said, "We are so impressed after seeing such a beautiful ancient painting!"
"Eh?!" But at this moment, a short and fat middle-aged man next to him heard a surprised voice. He seemed to have seen something.
Hearing the sound, everyone's eyes glanced at him in unison, and he asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Why does this painting look so familiar?! Oh, yes, I remembered it, I saw it before
I saw a similar painting. That painting belonged to Boss Shao. Brother He, you should know that Boss Shao used to be the owner of this shop. However, he transferred the shop because of something going on at home. I didn’t expect to transfer the shop.
It’s in Brother He’s hands.”
He Qing nodded and said, "Of course I know Boss Shao. I was the one who negotiated this store with him."
He did not mention the two identical paintings. In fact, the painting "Hunting in the Ming Dynasty" in front of him was actually the one in the hands of Boss Shao, but there were huge changes before and after, causing the value of the painting to increase in an instant.
How many times.
"Old Cong, do you think this painting is Boss Shao's?" Another older man said disapprovingly, "I have seen that painting too, but it is obviously different from this one! His painting claimed at the time
It’s hard to believe that it’s an authentic work by Tang Bohu, but this painting has the seals of several emperors of the Ming Dynasty, so it’s absolutely unmistakable!”
"I saw it too!" The middle-aged man nodded in response, "It's indeed not the same painting, but the content is very similar. I guess it was a fake, and this one is the real one, but it's not Tang Bohu's, but Qiu Ying's.
Yes, there are some differences between Qiu Ying’s paintings and Tang Bohu’s!”
Hearing the two people talking about the difference between true and false, He Qing smiled, but said nothing. He had no intention of explaining the situation. Anyway, he was the only one who knew the secret, and no one else knew it, so he couldn't tell it.
If this matter reaches the ears of Boss Shao, there may be some abnormal situation later.
Now this painting shows the "true face of Mount Lu". Even if boss Shao and other insiders clearly see this painting, they will have no evidence to prove that the two paintings are the same, and they will only think that they are one and the same.
Fake, the one sold by Boss Shao was a fake, but the one He Qing got was an out-and-out authentic work by Qiu Ying.
"Brother He, your painting is very good!" After reading it, President Lin said to He Qing in a somewhat excited tone.
He Qingxiao asked: "Can this painting be sent to the auction? President Lin, I hope you can help me."
"No problem, absolutely no problem!" President Lin nodded and agreed without hesitation, "We can't ask for such a good thing! Brother He, this is a big deal. If my estimate is correct, in the end,
The transaction price can reach hundreds of millions! Qiu Ying's palace paintings and large hand scrolls can be called national treasures and are priceless! Okay, Brother He, if you can trust us, just give us the things and we will give them to you right away.
You prepare for the auction, which can be held tonight. Although the auction held by us may not have as many people as the auction company, there are no entrusters among us. They all sincerely want to buy things, and the effect will definitely be no less than that of the auction company's masterpieces.
The effect of publicity.”
"Then I'll help you!" He Qing said happily.
President Lin's initial estimate of a billion-dollar transaction excited He Qing. Originally, Mr. Zheng's estimate was that the items could be sold for 50 million, but now in the eyes of President Lin and others, it has soared to 100 million.
Yes, twice as much.
However, the situation is different and cannot be compared. At that time, Mr. Zheng was only considering transferring the items to a boss. Now President Lin is planning to hold an auction. Naturally, there will be many people competing at the auction. Under this situation, the items cost hundreds of millions.
Maybe it really isn't a problem anymore.
If the item is sold for 100 million, then He Qing will have enough funds on hand. By then, let alone buying a 10 million luxury suite, there may be no problem in purchasing a large villa.
"Brother He, you are so polite." President Lin said with a smile, "You are Mr. Zheng's disciple, so we should help you. If you are interested, we can discuss the auction of this painting now.
It’s about the specific matters.”
"Of course I'm interested!" He Qing nodded solemnly and agreed, "President Lin, let's start talking. Please tell me. If you have any conditions, just mention them!"
President Lin said: "There are no conditions. But before holding the auction, we have to draw up a contract. Although our association is different from a profit-making organization like an auction company, this industry also has its own rules. We only charge a little."
The fiber drawing fee, this commission will definitely not be higher than that of the auction company, it is only twice theirs. Brother He, do you have any objection?"
He Qing nodded without thinking: "No objection! This is what it should be!"
It's impossible for others to do your work for nothing. It's normal for them to charge a fee. Although he has only been in the industry for a short time and doesn't know much about the rules of this industry, he has also accumulated some experience. If someone introduces business to you, if he doesn't have a good relationship,
It must be inseparable, otherwise agency fees are inevitable.
"That's good!" President Lin said with a smile on his face, "Brother He is such a cheerful person! Then it's settled! This is our agreement, please read it first."
As he spoke, he took out a few pieces of white paper from a black briefcase at hand, which were contracts.
Seeing this, He Qing couldn't help but be surprised, thinking that they had even prepared the contract, and it seemed that their attitude was very sincere.
President Lin took out the contract and handed it to He Qing. He Qing read it word for word. Seeing that there were no problems, he nodded in agreement and said, "President Lin, I read this contract and there is no problem!"
"No problem, let's sign it." President Lin said, "After signing, you have to hand this painting to me, but don't worry, we are just taking it to set up the exhibition, so we have to let everyone take a closer look first.
This way they will have more motivation when they bid again!”
"Yes, I know." He Qing agreed, and then both of them signed a contract, which was handed over to He Qing for safekeeping.
After signing the agreement, He Qing entrusted the painting to President Lin, who took it to the exhibition.
And he will rush to watch the auction in the evening. He is very confident that with the help of Mr. Zheng and President Lin this time, the things will definitely fetch a satisfactory high price! Not finished yet
