"Ah? It's a collection. It's just a hobby. After all, it's not easy to copy a copy of Dream of Red Mansions. If you can sell it, the handwriting is certainly not simple. Who can say that this kind of copy has little value?" Meng Guangtao complimented.
.
Han Kongque's heart moved. Indeed, if there is no special reason, who would be so free to copy a Dream of Red Mansions with a lot of words?
Although he had doubts in his heart, this book was indeed not precious, so Han Kongque said: "Uncle Meng, this is indeed just a simple copy, not that precious."
Meng Guangtao smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't steal it from you. It's fate who gets this kind of manuscript. You, Xiao Han, have the vision and luck. That's your ability. Such manuscripts are rare.
Even now, it is impossible for us to copy Dream of Red Mansions if we have nothing to do, so it is you, Xiao Han, who has the foresight."
"Haha, Uncle Meng, thank you for your kind words. If it's really valuable, I'll treat you to a drink." Han Peacock didn't know what to say. He must be a rare book, so what else could Han Peacock say?
"You must drink wine, but it's not you who invites me, but I who treat you. Xiao Han, I know you have certain connections in the city. My little bowl still needs you to worry more about it, Xiao Han."
Meng Guangtao felt a little depressed when he talked about his small bowl.
What's going on! Your stuff is obviously very good, but you're so useless that you can't sell it.
It can also be seen from this that there is still a market for academic masters and so-called experts from all walks of life.
He just lacks the recognition of experts and scholars, so even if he has good things, if he is resisted by people in the industry, he will never be able to sell them at a high price.
"Uncle Meng, that is indeed a good thing. If you want to sell it, it should be easy!" Han Kongque said.
Meng Guangtao smiled bitterly: "If I sell it at a low price, it will definitely be easy, but if I sell it at the market price, do you think those in the industry will accept it?"
Han Kongque thought thoughtfully, indeed, if others had no interests, it would be absolutely impossible for them to pay a large sum of money to accept his small bowl.
People in antique shops are all second-rate dealers. Although they have a large number of high-quality customers, the purchasing power of these customers is not unlimited. Without sufficient profits, they will not make a move.
"Uncle Meng, don't worry. If you don't have good sales channels, I will ask you again. However, Uncle Meng, let me tell you first. If I want to match you, you need to sign an entrustment contract during the transaction.
, the buyer’s money will not go directly into your account, but into the middleman’s account, I wonder if that’s okay?” Han Kongque didn’t want to cause trouble, so it’s better to make it clear now.
"You won't give us the buyer's money? If you don't give it to us, how will we know how much you sold it for?" Meng Tian was straightforward, but he couldn't trust Han Peacock.
Meng Guangtao's eldest son pulled Meng Tian directly to stop him from continuing to speak. He said: "Brother Han, don't worry about my second brother. It is normal to sign a contract when doing business. Please worry too much."
"That's right, I believe in your character, Xiao Han, and it's impossible for you to cheat your Uncle Meng." Meng Guangtao said.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "Signing a contract is a must, but during the transaction, all three of us are on site, and the price is transparent. The middleman looks for customers and will directly ask the customers to bid.
When the customer makes a price, they will ask for your opinion. Only when both the buyer and seller are satisfied, the intermediary will arrange for you to meet for the transaction, so there can be no mistakes in the process.
The reason why the money will not enter your account is because the whole process will be carried out in accordance with national laws, so all taxes and other things that should be paid must be paid, and we cannot leave any future troubles."
"That's good. This sounds official. Just do what you say, Xiao Han. I don't know when your friend will be able to find a client. You also know that our second oldest child will get married in October this year and is waiting for the money."
Meng Guangtao said.
Seeing that Meng Guangtao agreed so happily, Han Kongque was also very happy, so that their work would not be in vain.
The money goes into Fat Liu's company's account first, so that it is easier to collect the money. If it goes directly into Meng Guangtao's hands, then taking the money from him will not be the case. Even if he pays happily, it will not be the case.
I definitely feel uncomfortable inside.
"I'll call now." Han Kongque said no more. Since Meng Guangtao asked him to find a buyer for him, let Fat Liu keep an eye on him.
Soon Fat Liu answered the phone: "Xiao Han, I was about to call you, but I didn't expect that we had a good connection. You called me before I even called."
"What, is there something good?" Han Peacock said with a smile.
"You really guessed it. I just found a big buyer. If the items are right, they will sell it for 55.5 million yuan. How about this price? It should be higher than the seller's psychological price.
?" Fat Liu's triumphant voice came from the other side.
Han Kongque was really surprised when he heard the price. Although the enamel colors of the third generation of the Qing Dynasty have been highly speculated in recent years, he did not expect to achieve such a price.
You must know that the prices they know are all speculated at large auctions. As for whether they have actually reached that price, no one knows.
Now that there was real money, he really didn't expect that someone would actually spend astronomical amounts of money to buy a small bowl.
"Are you really good at this? How could you find a buyer so easily? I wonder if your buyer is reliable?" Han Kongque still had to confirm.
"Don't worry, the buyer I'm looking for is a person with status, and it's not as easy as you think. I've been making plans nonstop these days, and finally through my old man, I shortlisted a few people who might be interested.
buyer.
Today I made phone calls and interviews, and visited seven buyers in total. If it weren't for my father's reputation, they would have ignored me.
In the end, it was definitely our luck that the buyer was able to pay such a high price. He needed such a thing, so he paid such a price.
However, your stuff must be right! If it’s not right, I’ll offend people badly.” Fat Liu rambled on and told Han Kongque what had happened.
"Don't worry about this. I personally appraised the item. There is definitely no problem with it. As long as your buyer is confirmed, they can inspect and trade the goods at any time." Han Kongque affirmed.
Han Kongque was very happy. The 10% commission was only 5.5 million yuan. Even if he paid some personal income tax, there would be a lot of money left.
"That's good. I've made preparations here. Today I asked our old man to personally take over the company. Then we can trade tomorrow. The buyer here is very anxious, otherwise he wouldn't be able to pay such a high price.
The price." Fat Liu was also obviously very happy.
"He is really a rich man. Who is this person? He is so rich?" Han Kongque asked curiously.
"Don't worry. The other party is a famous big boss in Shanghai. There will definitely be no problem. As long as the company license is obtained, we can complete the transaction tomorrow. You should be well prepared."
Fat Liu hung up the phone. When Han Kongque looked up, he found that Meng Guangtao's family were all staring at him. He hurriedly said: "It's okay, Uncle Meng. If you are fine tomorrow, we will go and make contact with each other."
"It's okay, it's okay. Then let's go talk to each other tomorrow?" Meng Guangtao was very happy. Han Kongque did not just deal with him, but really took his request seriously.
"It's not about talking, it's about completing the transaction. We've already reached an agreement with the other party. As long as the things are right, the other party will immediately sign the contract and complete the transaction, handing over the money and delivering the goods." Han Kongque said.
"Ah? Can it be sold tomorrow?" Meng Guangtao's eldest son Meng Shan said in surprise.
The second child was more direct: "How much? How much can that small bowl be sold for? It can't be only 300,000, right? 300,000 can't even buy a house."
Han Peacock smiled and said: "Fifty-five million, but I hope you will keep a low profile and prepare well today. If there is no problem, just bring your things and prepare for trading tomorrow."
Seeing Meng Guangtao's family happy, Han Kongque was also happy. Although he was not the one who made the mistake, it was good to get a commission.
Although he had to share it equally with Fat Liu, taking half of it was still a lot of money. With this money, he would be able to do whatever he wanted to do.
When the Meng family was happy enough, Meng Shan said hesitantly: "Brother Han, it's not that I don't believe you. Is the buyer you are looking for reliable? What do we need to prepare? Where will the transaction be done?"
Han Kongque thought about it, this was really a problem, it would be troublesome if someone robbed it.
So he thought for a while and said: "You don't have to worry about this. Just prepare your family. We will arrange it when the time comes. We will definitely arrange the location. Just find a famous hotel then."
We will also provide security. You don’t have to say anything then. The price has been negotiated. As long as you have no objections, all you need to do is read the contract carefully and sign it. If you trade tomorrow, these middlemen will come over one by one tomorrow.
Explain clearly and sign an entrustment contract with you."
"Then we can rest assured. After all, it is a priceless treasure. If we don't get it right, we will be in trouble." Meng Shan said.
"Don't worry, safety comes first. We will do this well. After all, we have to receive a 10% commission, so we can't just do nothing, right?" Han Kongque said with a smile.
"Haha, don't say that. You helped our family a lot by selling us this small bowl." Meng Guangtao said quickly.
"Then if there is anything else, you and your family should discuss it carefully. You should go to meet the buyer tomorrow." Han Kongque said goodbye to his family and returned to his room. He also wanted to have a good discussion with Fat Liu, especially about security.
work.
Things worth tens of millions, but just because Fat Liu trusts the other party, you can't think that it is safe and secure. If there is an accident, no one will be able to tell.
