Chapter 147 A big deal worth hundreds of millions (Part 2)
After getting the painting, President Lin and others said goodbye and left "Yi Guxuan", while Mr. Zheng stayed in the store and continued chatting with He Qing, saying: "I originally wanted to introduce you to those friends in the collecting industry.
We will also attend the auction tonight, and with their support, that painting should be able to fetch a higher price."
He Qing said happily: "That will definitely happen!"
The more people who participate in the bidding, the greater the benefits for him. The people introduced by Mr. Zheng are all very reliable bosses. You can imagine how fierce the competition will be by then.
Mr. Zheng said: "I will also be there at eight o'clock to support you."
"Thank you." He Qing said happily, "I feel honored to have you join us!"
After the two exchanged some polite words, Mr. Zheng said goodbye to He Qing and Gu Qing, saying that he had to contact those friends and tell them some details to prevent them from giving up or missing the upcoming auction.
"He Qing, I didn't expect that Mr. Zheng would consider you so much. He was so thoughtful!" After seeing Mr. Zheng off, Gu Qingqiao said to He Qing with a sweet smile, "I can see that he really cares about you.
Very good, as if you are his relative! Now with the help of President Lin and others, your things will be easy to sell, and they will definitely sell for a satisfactory high price. They will help you hold auctions and
What difference does it make if you send it to an auction company?! It will only be better?! Basically all the famous people in Jiangzhou’s collection circle are in their association. I am relatively clear about this, even though I am not qualified to join their collection association!”
"Yes, this is Mr. Zheng's credit!" He Qing nodded solemnly, "I don't know President Lin and the others at all. They only care about Mr. Zheng's face! It's better now. Everything is better than expected.
Good luck! Gu Qing, you can accompany me to have a look tonight, and you can join in the fun!"
Gu Qing nodded and said: "Of course, I will accompany you. It would be good to build up momentum."
He Qing said: "Then I'll call you later. I'll go to the 'Jianbaozhai' and tell Haitao and the others about this. Go if you can!"
At that moment, he said goodbye and walked out, and went straight to the "Jianbao Zhai". Lin Haitao saw his cheerful look and laughed loudly: "Brother Qing, look at your rosy face, something good must have happened to you?!"
He Qing said: "It's true, it's good news. Haitao, come with me to the Collection Association tonight."
"Go to the Collection Association?!" Lin Haitao said in surprise, "Where are you going and what are you going to do? Don't tell me that you have joined the Collection Association now. Are you going to attend a meeting? But I don't have the qualifications yet, and I don't even have a pass if I want to go.
"
He Qing shook his head and said: "It's not that. Tonight's event is open to outsiders. It's an auction. I have a share of the things to be auctioned. You can also go and support me."
"Auction?!" Lin Haitao was even more surprised and said, "Brother Qing, what are you going to auction? Are you holding the auction quietly? Or is it held at a collection association? How big does it need to be?
What a shame!"
He Qing smiled slightly and said: "Grandpa didn't help me. If you hadn't personally come forward to request President Lin and the others, how would I have had this opportunity?"
"That's it!" Lin Haitao suddenly realized, "Then what are you selling?"
He Qing replied: "It's a painting. You will understand it when the time comes."
In fact, Lin Haitao had seen that painting once. Boss Shao was planning to sell it to "Jianbaozhai", but Uncle Long thought it was not genuine and declined.
Now that the painting has undergone fundamental changes, Lin Haitao wonders if he will be sure that it is Boss Shao's "Royal Autumn Hunting Picture" after seeing it, but He Qing is not worried about what Lin Haitao will do when he learns about the situation.
A bad reaction. Even if he knew everything about this matter, he would not have any emotions towards He Qing. He would just congratulate him. He was not trying to grab business at the beginning. The painting was given to him by Boss Shao later.
"Jianbaozhai" collects items without any conflicts.
"Yeah, okay." Lin Haitao readily agreed, "I will definitely accompany you then! Brother Qing, do you want to ask someone to help you? We can help you at all auctions, no matter how formal the auction is!"
He Qing shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about this yet. You guys should accompany me there first, and we'll see what happens later."
"Well, that's fine." Lin Haitao said, "The thing you are selling this time must be good, otherwise President Lin and the others would not be so enthusiastic!"
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, He Qing received a call from President Lin. The other party told him on the phone that the auction would be held tonight. It would be held in a box of a large hotel in the city center. The time was different.
Changed, still scheduled to start at eight o'clock.
After dinner, He Qing took Lin Haitao and the others to the hotel designated by President Lin, and Xiao Wu followed.
The private room where the auction is held is the largest private room in this five-star hotel. It is a huge hall that can accommodate thousands of people. No matter how many people come to participate in the auction, it will not be a problem.
When He Qing and Lin Haitao walked in quietly, there were already many people in the hall, and an antique painting hung in a glass display cabinet in the center. It was the painting that He Qing put up for auction.
A palace painting by Qiu Ying.
"not good!"
As soon as He Qing stepped onto the threshold of the auction venue, he caught a glimpse of a person's figure. That figure was familiar and disgusting.
"What's wrong, Brother Qing?!" Seeing He Qing's face suddenly changed, Lin Haitao couldn't help but said in surprise.
He Qing whispered: "Master Qi and the others are here too! I didn't expect that they are also members of the Collection Association! Why does the Collection Association still accept such scum?! Don't you all know very well?! Not only does he sell fakes such as 'Zhu Imitation'
, and likes smuggling!”
Following He Qing's gaze, Lin Haitao quickly noticed the figure of a person. That was none other than Mr. Qi, whom they hated so much!
"Brother Qing, this is not strange at all!" Lin Haitao said with a bitter smile, "The last time we were at Tianyun Mountain, didn't he also participate in the auction held by Boss Jin as normal? In this industry, he
There are many people who share the same odor with him, but he is a man who hides his secret in his smile, is very sinister, and has great power. Even though many people don't like him, they dare to get angry but dare not speak out. Just guard him secretly!"
"Yes, I understand." He Qing composed himself and immediately stepped into the hall as if nothing had happened.
When they approached the showcase, Mr. Qi and the others immediately noticed it.
"Third Master, look, the boy named He is here too!" Secretly, Third Master Qi's follower reminded him in his ear.
Third Master Qi glanced at He Qing and others with the corner of his eye, and whispered: "Don't worry about them! We came here tonight for Qiu Ying's painting, so we won't care about them for the time being!"
"Well!" said the middle-aged man with a somewhat mysterious aura, "but we have to be careful about him, lest he spoil our big event again!"
Mr. Qi sneered: "The things don't belong to them! They just came to participate in the auction. Whether they have the capital to participate in the bidding is a question! So, why be afraid of them?! Let's see who bids the highest.
Bar!"
He seemed determined to win the painting and decided that He Qing and the others were not his competitors.
"That's true." The man nodded and said, "Authentic works of Qiu Ying's palace paintings are rare. If we take them and reshoot them abroad, we will definitely make a lot of money!"
The two of them were discussing in whispers, but no one heard them except themselves. No one paid attention to them at this moment. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the wonderful painting.
When He Qing and Lin Haitao walked over, although there were familiar faces such as President Lin next to them, when they saw He Qing and the others, they just nodded and didn't say anything.
Because He Qing had specifically told President Lin not to reveal the origin of the painting before, and that it would be an anonymous auction, so that the buyers would not have any baggage and could bid freely.
"Brother Qing, this... this painting..." Lin Haitao was shocked when he saw the painting clearly. When he was about to say something, He Qing grabbed his hand, shook his head, and signaled them with his eyes.
Don't make any noise.
Lin Haitao understood and stopped what he was about to say, but the confusion in his eyes became more and more intense.
Later, He Qing called Lin Haitao and the others out of the box. As soon as they came out, Lin Haitao asked a question and said: "Brother Qing, that painting is yours?!"
"Yes." He Qing nodded and said, "Is it similar to the so-called authentic painting of Tang Bohu that Boss Shao brought to our 'Jianbao Zhai' for sale?"
"Yes, it looks very similar, but it's not that one!" Lin Haitao said with certainty, "We looked at Boss Shao's painting very carefully at the time. There was no inscription on it, but this one has a set of seals, and they are from successive generations of the Ming Dynasty.
The emperor's seal proves that the painting is a palace collection! It is very precious!"
"Well, that painting was hard-won." He Qing nodded and said. Since Lin Haitao also preconceivedly believed that the painting had nothing to do with Boss Shao's painting, He Qing didn't need to explain. He just followed their lead.
The idea comes as it comes.
"Haitao, let's discuss something." He Qing then said with a straight face, "Now that Mr. Qi has joined, I have to find a way."
Lin Haitao asked back: "Brother Qing, do you mean you don't want to sell that painting to Mr. Qi?"
"Yes, I don't want to sell it to him! If that thing falls into his hands, I will feel uneasy." He Qing nodded vigorously and said, "Rather than selling it to him, it is better to collect it yourself."
"Well, yes." Lin Haitao said, "Mr. Qi is not a collector, he is just an antique dealer, and a big dealer. His family has a customs background, so he always ships things abroad for auction and makes money from them.
Huge profits! It would be such a waste if such a good painting fell into his hands! Brother Qing, what do you want us to do?"
He Qing said: "We act according to the situation. If his bid is the highest in the end, then we have to take action. We must be higher than him and push him down! Haitao, you can bid later. If he doesn't make any move
Then forget it! It’s okay to sell it to other bosses.”
"Well, that's no problem, I know how to do it." Lin Haitao nodded quickly and agreed.
He Qing said happily: "Okay, let's go in now. The auction is about to start. Let's make preparations!" To be continued.
