Forget it, it’s better not to call him. Ma Shangdu recalled Yu Fei’s unwillingness to disclose his identity when the Luo Shen Fu Tu and other precious artworks were exhibited before and speculated that Yu Fei didn’t seem to want to stand in front of others. Although he didn’t know
Why, but Ma Shangdu and Dong Dechang still respected Yu Fei's wishes.
After a period of commotion, Mr. Jingguan, the president of the Hist Auction House, showed up.
Jingguan is in his early sixties. He was the first to establish an auction company in Japan, the founder of the Japanese auction industry, and the leader of the first contemporary art auction in Japan. He has profound qualifications.
When he arrived at the auction site, he found that the front desk was full of mineral water bottles.
Jingguan's body was slightly stooped, but he was in good spirits. With the support of two staff members, he came to the field.
Facing the noisy and excited crowd, Jingguan said nothing, but bowed deeply and uprightly.
Hey old man, don't think that just because you bowed, let me tell you, it's not that easy for someone to shout loudly.
It’s not that easy. Many people immediately agreed.
But when faced with such a question, Jingguan did not rush to refute, but bowed deeply again.
Hey, this old man is really addicted to bowing. This time, no one yelled and cursed loudly. Except for some people's soft ridicule, the entire auction venue became much calmer.
The voices of the people around him fell silent, but Yu Fei couldn't sleep. He didn't know what happened. That caused such a big fire to be extinguished so quickly.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Jingguan lowering his slightly stooped body for the third time.
At this time, the venue was completely quiet. The old man only used three bows to calm the emotions of everyone present. Even Yu Fei admired him a little.
Everyone, I am Jingguan, the president of Juju Hist Co., Ltd., I solemnly apologize to you for the scandal that occurred at Hist Auction House. I just got the news and rushed here. Jingguan said slowly, his tone
The middle band has a convincing power.
Hist auctioned fakes. You said that you, the president, didn't know about it. Who would believe it? Someone whispered.
I have revoked all the positions of the person in charge of this auction and removed him from Hist. Jingguan continued.
Yu Fei was stunned. He thought: This little trick of losing the car to save the handsome man is too childish.
But often children's tricks are equally effective, and most of them have stopped talking, which makes Yu Fei sigh in his heart. The Chinese people are so kind.
In order to make up for everyone's losses, the handling fee for this auction is only 1%, Jingguan continued.
A handling fee of one percent is indeed very low. The handling fee of Sotheby's is even as high as more than 25%. Although the handling fee of domestic auction houses is much lower, it is still more than 5%.
, one percent is indeed unheard of, and the profit from Jingguan can be said to be very large.
Many people are quite interested. After all, this can save a lot of money. Take an auction item worth 100,000 US dollars as an example. If Hist's handling fee is 10%, then the buyer will
You have to pay an extra $10,000. But calculated as a percentage of one percent, this number becomes $1,000, a difference of ten times.
However, Yu Fei, Ma Shangdu and others do not want this auction to continue, because in that case, their efforts will be in vain.
However, Jingguan's profit margin is very large, and it has successfully rekindled the interest of many people. Most people buy antique pictures abroad for a bargain. Now that the handling fee has been reduced to 1%, they can save a lot.
Money, this has aroused the minds of many people here. It may be difficult to stop it.
In fact, Hist Auction House just played a trick. He could have added the handling fee to the price of the auction items and made a profit at all. But how can this truth be explained clearly for a while?
After all, Ma Shang is very experienced. He did not stop everyone from continuing to bid, but said softly:
Don't be afraid of expensive purchases, as long as you buy the right ones, what are you afraid of most? Counterfeit ones are the most expensive.
As soon as these words came out, the entire auction venue fell silent. Yes, you can't just think about saving money. If you buy a fake, no matter how little money you spend, it will be a waste.
Jingguan's expression changed, but he soon started laughing again.
I didn't expect Mr. Ma to come here. I'm glad to meet him. Why can I make the decision on what auction items Mr. Ma likes without charging any handling fees? Jingguan said. He and Ma Shang both attended an art exchange meeting between China and Japan.
I met him once, so he was an old acquaintance. But when he said this, he didn't really want to give Ma Shangdu a favor for the sake of the acquaintance. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to discredit Ma Shangdu.
First of all, he wanted to tell everyone present that Ma Shangdu's status is not that transcendent. He is just an ordinary buyer. Of course he came to this auction to buy antiques. Since he came to buy antiques,
Why do you want to prevent everyone from buying? Is it because there will be fewer people bidding against you?
Jingguan used one sentence to plant a seed of doubt in everyone's hearts and aroused everyone's suspicion of Ma Shangdu, then Ma Shangdu's appeal would be greatly reduced.
Secondly, he still wanted to seduce Ma Shangdu. He offered to seduce Ma Shangdu without charging a handling fee. As long as Ma Shangdu agreed, he would immediately become the target of public criticism. He didn’t need to find someone else to do anything for him, and everyone would drown him in their saliva.
After he died, let everyone see that Ma Shangdu did this not because he was worried about people buying fakes, but for his own selfish gain.
Faced with such a trap, how could Ma Shangdu be fooled?
He chuckled lightly and said: No need, Ma did not come here just to take a fancy to your company's auction items.
As soon as Ma Shangdu said this, he immediately aroused many people's discussion. He came to the auction not to buy things, but why?
Oh, why did Mr. Ma say this? Jingguan smiled and said, Ma Shangdu did not fall into the trap and he expected it. Ma Shangdu has been wandering around in various antique markets before he was twenty years old. What kind of people have he never seen?
How could such a little trick be hidden from him?
Mr. Jingguan, let’s speak frankly. Ma Shangdu said loudly, but his little eyes were narrowed, looking a little wretched.
I came to Japan this time for your so-called Heshi Bi. Since Japan does not recognize the verification of Chinese scholars, then Ma came to conduct an appraisal in person. Ma Shangdu believed that with his own appraisal level, as long as this piece
If He's Bi is fake, you can definitely tell that something is wrong.
Although no one has ever seen the He's Bi, there are even fewer descriptions in history. After it was made into a jade seal passed down from the country, the records of the He's Bi are almost extinct. If you want to identify the authenticity,
Easier said than done
I'm afraid Hist also took a fancy to this, so he dared to let it out so wildly, using the gimmick of He's Bi to attract buyers and raise the price.
It seems that Mr. Ma also agrees with our findings. Jingguan said in a rogue manner. Of course he meant that you, Ma Shangdu, came all the way to Japan, and of course you thought that the Heshi Bi made in China had been made into a legendary piece.
The statement about the national jade seal is incorrect. The real Heshibi is in Japan.
Respectfully, please pay attention to your words. Ma Shangdu said with rare anger, a pair of small eyes flashed with cold light.
Ma came here to expose your lies.
Since Jingguan is acting recklessly, Ma Shangdu will not show any mercy to him.
Jingguan's smiling face also turned cold. Mr. Ma, Hist has its own appraiser. I'm afraid it's not your turn to help us authenticate it.
That's right, you have your own appraisers, and you can pass off a fake Qianlong Doucai chicken tank as a genuine one and send it to the auction stage, Ma Shangdu said sarcastically.
You have your own appraiser, but after the incident was exposed, the first thing you thought of was not to hold people accountable and give an explanation to all the buyers, but to try to steal and change the situation through despicable means.
Is this the level of your appraisers?
Ma Shangdu almost pointed at Xisit's nose and scolded them for fabricating and selling fake products.
Facing Ma Shangdu's dignified words, Yi Jingguan's sophistry was inevitably at a loss for words. To be continued...
