After Li Yang entered, as soon as he and Mao Lao found a seat to sit down, a man stood up and walked towards him. This man was looking at him in surprise, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Mr. Chang!"
Li Yang was also very surprised. He saw Chang Sheng at the auction yesterday, but they didn't say anything at that time. He didn't expect to meet him again today. Li Yang and him have been destined to be together for the past two days.
"Mr. Li is also interested in this store?"
Chang Sheng was followed by Chang Feng, and the two of them walked to Li Yang's side. Li Yang was at the back of the conference room, and Chang Sheng and the others did not attract much attention when they walked over.
"It's not that I'm interested, it just happened to happen. I'm not even qualified to bid now!"
Li Yang spread his hands and looked very helpless. If he had known earlier, he would definitely have obtained the qualification to bid, but now it seems that it is too late to say this.
"You are not qualified to bid?"
Chang Sheng yelled blankly, and then a smile appeared on his face. Li Yang said that he just happened to be bidding this time, so it was really possible that he was not qualified to bid.
Li Yang nodded and said: "Really not. I asked Mr. Mao to pick me up when I came in. I'm afraid I can only join in the fun this time!"
"It doesn't matter. If you are interested in bidding, I have two qualifications and I can give you one!" Chang Sheng said immediately, the smile on his face became even brighter.
It is true that he has two qualifications. He is very interested in this store. They have long wanted to start the antique business, but they have never had a suitable opportunity. It is not easy to find a mature and suitable store in the antique industry.
This time when Chang Sheng encountered Feixiang Group selling off their antique store, it can be said that he was very concerned and had already made up his mind to win. However, everything changed after meeting Li Yang.
He was very clear about how the Feixiang Group got to where it was now. Because he was aware of the energy behind Li Yang, even he felt a sense of fear. He would not let go of anyone who could have a good relationship with Li Yang.
This is much more valuable than an antique store.
"Do you have two qualifications?"
Li Yang asked in confusion. Usually, each person has one qualification for various auctions. Applying for two qualifications is simply to pay an extra deposit.
"That's right, just wait a moment!"
Chang Sheng's voice was not loud. Except for Mr. Mao and the others who were closer, no one else heard him.
After learning that Chang Sheng had two qualifications, Bai Ming curled his lips. Li Yang didn't know why Chang Sheng prepared two qualifications, but he knew it very well.
One of the two qualifications is a trustee. When the two compete, others deliberately wait and watch. If you are not careful, you can get what you want, and by then it will be too late for others to find out.
This kind of thing is very common in some bidding situations. It is a strategy and means, just like the auction company's trust, but it plays a different role.
Bai Ming had nothing to say about this. This kind of thing can be morally condemned, but it cannot be really criticized. Doing so does not violate the rules of the organizer. It can only be said that the end justifies the means.
Chang Sheng went out for a while and then came back soon. There were people who went out with him in the conference room. When they came back, they returned to their original seats. Their seats were in the front row.
"Mr. Li, this is our other number plate that is eligible for bidding, No. 27. If you are interested in this antique store, you can bid soon!"
Chang Feng came over and handed Li Yang a number plate, then went back and sat next to Chang Sheng.
Holding the good price, Li Yang lowered his head and thought for a while. He still had some guesses about Chang Sheng's two bidding qualifications, but he didn't say it out loud. He had already taken the number plate. If there was a chance to bid for this house,
The store is not bad, but if it doesn’t work, just treat it as a part of the fun.
As for this favor, Li Yang first wrote it down. He had a very good impression of Chang Sheng, and Chang Sheng had helped him several times.
Wang Jiajia also picked up the number plate and looked at it, with a hint of curiosity on her face.
"Come on, we have no chance this time!" Bai Ming suddenly sighed softly and whispered to Mr. Mao and Teacher Cai beside him.
The three of them are also qualified to bid this time. Both Mr. Mao and Mr. Cai have the idea of opening a store in Beijing. Panjiayuan is of course the most suitable place. This time they heard that a store was going to be auctioned publicly, so they joined forces.
Bai Ming, I want to fight together.
With the assets of the three of them, plus some debts and loans, they still have hope of bidding for this store, but now that Li Yang is involved, not to mention Bai Ming, even Teacher Cai and Mr. Mao have lost confidence.
This confidence is not about money. In the impression of the three of them, there seems to be nothing that Li Yang cannot do.
"Good afternoon everyone!"
Three people walked into the conference room, all three were middle-aged people in their forties or fifties. The middle one was a little fat, the oldest, and looked very dignified.
"Hello, Director Chi!"
The people sitting below stood up one after another, and many of them even greeted the fatter man in the middle. The fat man's name was Chi Yong, and he was the deputy director of the administration. He was presiding over this bidding event.
It is said to be an auction, but it is actually similar to a public tender. The difference is that the tender is for a project. This time it is a store that is being sold, so it is called an auction.
Chi Yong stood in the center of the conference room, looking down and around. There was a smile on his face, and he looked very satisfied.
Nowadays, all of these people are wealthy, and now many of these people are looking at him eagerly, which gives Chi Yong a strong sense of superiority and his vanity is greatly satisfied.
He is just a deputy director at the deputy division level. At such an old age, it is almost impossible for him to get promoted to a higher level. Such people also desire the enjoyment of power the most. At the moment, whether they are acquaintances or not, they all give him
A feeling of superiority.
"Hello everyone, this time our management office was entrusted by Feixiang Group to conduct a public bidding for the operating rights of Ruixiang Zhai held by them for the next thirteen years. Regarding the situation of Ruixiang Zhai, please report to his family, Chief Ma!"
After Chi Yong finished speaking, he sat down and took a sip of tea. In his opinion, this is what a leader should look like, and today he is the leader.
"Dear guests, hello leaders..."
A middle-aged man in his forties on Chi Yong's right began to speak. Many people had already known what he said, and only Li Yang was the least aware of it. At this time, Li Yang listened the most carefully.
Ruixiangzhai is the antique store under the name of Feixiang Group. It is located in the busiest street area of Panjiayuan Market. It has a total area of 327 square meters and is divided into upper and lower floors. The main area of the first floor is 232 square meters.
, is the main business location.
I don’t know who gave the name Ruixiangzhai, but this store did not bring Ruixiang to its owner, and it was eventually abandoned by the owner.
The manager of this store is an insider hired from outside the Feixiang Group. He is a very capable person. Under his management, although Ruixiangzhai’s performance is not the best among its peers, it is still top-notch and can reach the top every year.
They have made good profits. If there had not been a crisis at the group headquarters this time, they would never have sold this store.
From the fact that they are willing to give the store to Li Yang as an apology, it can be seen that they attach great importance to the store. The apology items should not be too casual. If you cannot use them, it will not show any sincerity.
Ruixiangzhai mainly deals in porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and some miscellaneous items, but not much. Chief Ma's introduction was very detailed and lasted for more than ten minutes. Even people who had already understood the situation could only listen patiently at this time.
.
"My introduction is over, please introduce the detailed rules of this auction, Director Liu!"
After Section Chief Ma finished speaking, he pointed to another person next to Chi Yong. The people sitting in the conference room could only straighten their bodies and continue to listen to the speeches of their leaders.
"Okay, let me just say a few words. This time Feixiang Group entrusted us with the bidding, and we must also fulfill our responsibilities for them..."
Director Liu smiled, and some of the people below began to curse secretly. As early as when Feixiang Group wanted to sell this store, someone came to him and offered a high price to take it over.
It's just that the manpower of their management office is faster, and in the end, the Feixiang Group will conduct a public auction through them. The price can be higher, and the people in the management office can also get a share of the pie.
Director Liu's words lasted for more than ten minutes, which were nothing more than some precautions for bidding. In the end, even Li Yang got tired of hearing them. This type of commercial activity will definitely deteriorate if it gets mixed up with the government. This is the most typical example right now.
During the hour-long bidding, the speeches of these leaders took up half of the time.
"The bidding is now officially started. The minimum price for Ruixiangzhai's thirteen-year operating rights is 13 million. Any successful bidder will receive Ruixiangzhai's goods worth 8 million."
Finally, Chi Yong made a summary, and the bidding finally officially started.
"Fourteen million!"
As soon as Chi Yong announced the opening, there were people bidding. The base price was equivalent to one million yuan in annual operating expenses. This price can be said to be very low. Such a large store in Panjiayuan definitely exceeds this amount. This was taken over by Feixiang Group seven years ago.
The price at this store back then was used as a reserve price today.
"Fifteen million!"
"Twenty million!"
Just after three bid biddings at the venue, someone raised the price to 20 million, and suddenly added 5 million. The bidding enthusiasm that had just begun to rise instantly subsided a little, and everyone was thinking about it.
"Twenty-one million!"
The minimum price increase requirement is one million, which is a bit high, but it can end the auction faster, and no one has raised any objections to this.
"Twenty-two million!"
"Twenty-four million!"
"Twenty-five million!"
"Thirty million!"
This time someone suddenly mentioned 30 million. Everyone at the scene was stunned, including Bai Ming and the others. Chang Sheng was the one who bid for 20 million and 30 million. Many people were looking at Chang Sheng.
I know what's going on in his mind.
"Thirty-one million!"
This time it was Li Yang who made the bid, and it was Chang Sheng who hinted that he would make a bid. The price of 31 million is not high. The annual rent of the store now costs about two to three million, and there will be more than ten years in the future.
This price can be said to be very, very cost-effective.
There were many people who knew Chang Sheng at the scene. They all knew that Chang Sheng was an energetic person and could be regarded as a young man in Beijing. Chang Sheng's strength made everyone fall into deep thought. When Li Yang came forward to confront Chang Sheng,
Competition, I am happy to see the excitement first.
"Thirty-two million!"
Chang Sheng increased the price again, this time it was different from before, it only increased by one million.
Everyone can understand this. Adding that much to Chang Sheng again will probably arouse public outrage. If it really increases to 40 million, the price will almost reach the top. There will not be much room for price increase below, which means that all of a sudden
Offending so many people is not worth the gain.
"Thirty-two million, Mr. Chang bids thirty-two million, is there anyone who wants to increase the price?"
Chi Yong asked calmly, this is a public bidding, not a real auction, the rules are not that strict, anyway, the final result is the highest bidder.
Some people sitting in the audience turned their attention to Li Yang again. It was Li Yang who was competing with Chang Sheng just now.
Not many people noticed the movements between Li Yang and Chang Sheng before. Many people here are acquaintances. It is normal to say hello occasionally when meeting an acquaintance. Only Mao Lao and Bai Ming could guess Chang Sheng's move.
intention.
"No one has increased the price and the countdown has started. It's 32 million once..."
Chi Yong said again calmly, much like an auctioneer presiding over an auction. Several people began to hesitate, and Li Yang had already shouted out.
"Thirty-three million!"
Li Yang raised the price, and those who wanted to bid temporarily stopped to see Chang Sheng's reaction. This is also a normal thought.
This time, Chang Sheng did not follow the bid immediately, but Chi Yong frowned.
"Thirty-three million, does anyone want to increase the price?"
Chi Yong still played the role of auctioneer. Everyone was looking at Chang Sheng, but no one answered.
"Thirty-three million once, thirty-three million twice, thirty-three million three times, okay, I declare the bidding is over!"
Chi Yong finished his three calls very quickly. The first two calls were not very fast, but the interval between the last call and the second call was so short that some hesitant people did not have time to react, and the bidding was over.
"I knew that we must accompany Brother Li for a formality this time!"
Bai Ming lamented, there were so many people present, they were the only ones who knew Chang Sheng's intentions in advance, but with their relationship with Li Yang, it was naturally impossible to expose them.
This time Chang Sheng volunteered to support Li Yang so that he could live in this antique shop at a small price.
"Wait a minute, is this the end?"
Someone in the first row stood up quickly and shouted, and many others looked at the fat Director Chi in the same way.
Thirty-three million, which is much lower than the price everyone expected before. Many people thought the price was more than forty million, but now they were auctioned for thirty-three million. Many people
I feel like I can't accept it.
At this price, even Feixiang Group cannot sell it alone. This is definitely a super low price.
"It's over. I just called out the number and no one bid, so it's over!"
Chi Yong felt a little uncomfortable, but he felt relieved when he thought of the promise Chang Sheng had made when he secretly called him. Anyway, it was Feixiang Group that ended up losing money, and he benefited from it at all.
Compared with Feixiang Group, which is currently in trouble and has collapsed in the background, Chang Sheng's reputation is even greater.
Chi Yong stood up and was about to leave, but the man hurriedly stopped him and shouted anxiously: "Chi Ju, isn't this bad?"
"This is a rule. If you are not satisfied, you can report it to Director Su!"
Chi Yong's tone was very calm. After speaking, he led the people out without waiting for their reaction, leaving many bosses talking loudly there.
"Mr. Li, congratulations!"
Chang Sheng walked to the back row and stretched out his hand to Li Yang. Many people in front looked at them in shock.
"Thank you, Mr. Chang!"
Li Yang also extended his hand. Li Yang was not stupid and didn't understand at first. But when Chang Sheng asked Chang Feng to remind him to follow the bidding, Li Yang understood what was going on and confirmed his guess.
Sheng prepared two qualifications and indeed had his own ideas.
The difference is that Chang Sheng gave up the prepared qualification to Li Yang, which is equivalent to giving up the opportunity to bid for the antique store to Li Yang.
As for Chi Yong's attitude, it was a promise made by Chang Sheng on a temporary phone call to him.
It all happened so fast that by the time other people realized what was going on, it was already too late.
By doing this, Chang Sheng offended a lot of people, but he didn't care about it. If he did, he wouldn't have prepared two qualifications to use this method to bid for himself in the first place.
"Mr. Li, I will take you to go through the formalities!" Chang Sheng didn't care at all about the angry eyes of those people, and led Li Yang out of the conference room with a smile. Those behind him looked angry and surprised at the same time.
They all know Chang Sheng's background very well, and Chang Sheng's attitude towards this young man is too good now. Not only does he help him bid at an antique shop at a low price, but he also helps him complete a series of procedures.
Suddenly, a smart person's face began to change and he hurriedly left the meeting room.
Chang Sheng's background is very powerful, but there are many people in Beijing who are more powerful than Chang Sheng. Even the manager of Chang Sheng Company can guess Li Yang's identity. If these people can't think of it, all their business for so many years will be in vain.
.
The procedure was completed quickly. The total of 33 million plus the 8 million that had to be taken over was 41 million. Li Yang directly signed the cash check. After signing, the store's operating rights
It becomes Li Yang's property.
Even Li Yang was surprised by the speed of work. When he walked out of the management office, Li Yang was even a little confused. He suddenly thought of a trip to Panjiayuan. He opened an antique shop and Li Yang also had his own shop in Beijing.
business.
"This store is still open. It's just that the employees are a little worried about the sale. I found someone to comfort them secretly a few days ago. Now everything is normal!" Chang Sheng walked beside Li Yang.
, introducing Li Yang with a smile.
The mood of the employees in the store did have a great impact some time ago. After Chang Sheng became determined to win this store, he quietly made a series of preparations. Now he is doing all these for Li Yang.
.
"I see, Mr. Chang, have I taken away your business?" Li Yang nodded lightly and suddenly asked again.
Bai Ming and Mao Lao sighed in their hearts. It seems that even if Li Yang doesn't come today, it will be difficult for them to win this store. Chang Sheng has even done private work, which is better than them.
There are so many, and if the competition continues, they may not be able to compete with the wealthy Chang Sheng.
