Xu Hongming suddenly frowned, shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "You, you... I know you won't come to the association if nothing happens. Tell me, what do you want me, an old guy, to do for you?!"
Seeing the expression on Xu Hongming's face, Qin Fen also smiled. After such a long period of contact, the two of them had understood each other, especially Xu Hongming, who was completely on Qin Fen's side, and as they gradually got along, Xu Hongming
Talking to Qin Fen is no longer so reserved, and there is more of a joke.
Qin Fen still likes this change. After all, he doesn't want to use his identity to make these people treat him with respect. That would be meaningless.
"That's right, the autumn auction will be held in a month. You know Qinbao Art Company wants to become famous in the capital as soon as possible. This autumn auction is particularly important. Therefore, what is most in demand right now is some qualified products.
Influential clients, such as Mr. Xu and Mr. Tao, if you have any good things hidden in your hands, please be sure to take them out and entrust our company to auction them!"
Hearing Qin Fen's words, Xu Hongming's face suddenly showed a look of shock, and he hurriedly waved his hands and said: "You guys really dare to think about it. Old Tao and I are both members of the Cultural Heritage Association. Although we have some collections at home, they can be auctioned.
Really not! Besides, even if I can get in, I don’t want to participate. These are some of the things I have bought for most of my life, how can I give up?!"
Qin Fen guessed that Xu Hongming would definitely feel heartache, but one thing they said was right. I am afraid that there are really nothing priceless things collected at home. But whenever they encounter those things, with the enthusiasm of Xu Hongming and Tao Boru for their work,
It must be public before private.
"Hey, President Xu, please listen to what I have to say! Let’s not talk about the value of the things. The main thing is your reputation. If we talk about it when the time comes, the influence of the things collected by Xu Hongming, the president of the Cultural Heritage Association, will be
It’s conceivable!”
Qin Fen's mind changed and he smiled again.
"Oh... no, no, no! My status is too special. If it causes other things, it will be terrible. I can't even explain it."
Qin Fen saw the sarcastic expression on Xu Hongming's face and already understood what he was thinking. To be honest, Xu Hongming is the president of the National Cultural Heritage Association. If he takes out the things he has collected at home, even if they are worthless,
However, I am afraid that some evildoers will fabricate it and damage Xu Hongming's reputation.
In fact, Qin Fen understood this very well, thought about it, and finally said seriously: "President Xu, I know your worries. I was just joking with you. I hope President Xu can help me introduce some people.
As long as there are influential collectors in the capital or some people in the antique industry who are willing to bring their collections to our company for auction, it will be of great help to our company!"
After Qin Fen's face turned serious, Xu Hongming seemed a little embarrassed. Although Qin Fen said it was a joke, he knew that Qin Fen wanted him to take out something and take pictures, but now he was in a dilemma. To be honest, he himself
Everyone knows how much they value the position of president, and if this incident affects them, they will be unable to bear it no matter what.
"Qin Fen, don't worry. I'll bring Lao Tao over and we'll discuss it together!" Xu Hongming's heart moved and he hurriedly said to Qin Fen.
Qin Fen smiled and nodded.
Xu Hongming picked up the landline on the table and made a call to Tao Boru's office. In a moment, Tao Boru had rushed over. After seeing Qin Fen, he hurriedly nodded to Qin Fen to express his goodwill.
"Old Tao, Qin Fen has something he wants us to help with..." Xu Hongming said straight to the point.
Qin Fen, who was sitting next to him, smiled again, and then looked at Tao Boru, who looked confused.
"What's going on? Judging from your expressions, it seems mysterious and serious!" Tao Boru was confused after seeing Xu Hongming's expression.
"Well...that's it, Qin Fen will hold an autumn auction in a month..."
"Haha, this is a good thing! Just take this opportunity to promote Qinbao Art Auction Company!"
Before Xu Hongming finished speaking, Tao Boru cheered up and smiled at Qin Fen.
"Old Tao, can you please listen to what I have to say? You are so old and still have such a short temper!" Xu Hongming suddenly frowned and said with some displeasure.
To be honest, after comparing the expressions of the two when they heard the news, Qin Fen had some idea of what he was doing. Xu Hongming is a fan of officials, while Tao Boru values human relationships more. However, neither of them can be defined as good or bad. They just have different ideas.
, so Qin Fen didn’t deliberately blame anyone!
"Haha, you said, you said..." Tao Boru laughed awkwardly.
"You old thing..." Xu Hongming also smiled bitterly, and then said again: "Today is the first day of business for 'Qinbao Art Company'. To be honest, there are probably very few people in the capital who know about their company, let alone
Let alone the autumn shoot in one month, even if it takes three months or even half a year, I'm afraid it won't be well-known enough. Why do people dare to entrust things to them?!"
Hearing what Xu Hongming said, Tao Boru was suddenly enlightened. He couldn't help but slap his forehead and said apologetically: "It seems that I am really old. Why didn't I think of this? It is difficult to start a new company, especially in the arts."
It would be even more difficult for a brand auction company. How can the client dare to trust a new company?!"
"Hey, why don't we ask you two giant Buddhas for help?" Qin Fen said with a bitter smile towards Tao Boru.
When Tao Boru heard this, he also showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, but he quickly recovered and said to Qin Fen: "Well, then I will entrust your company to take pictures of one of my things, although I don't have much in my hands.
It’s valuable, but don’t be arrogant, I’m quite famous in the cultural and antique circles in the capital, so you can let the company publicize it when the time comes!”
People do have different ideas. Tao Boru immediately thought of this before Qin Fen could say it. To be honest, Qin Fen felt really good about it.
At the moment, Qin Fen said gratefully to Tao Boru: "Thank you, Mr. Tao, for taking action."
"What kind of thing is this! It's just that the things in my hand are not very valuable. To be honest, although they are not valuable, they are still treasures in my heart. If it were someone else, I would definitely not be able to take them out!" Tao Boru hurriedly said
said.
Qin Fen didn't say anything at the moment, because he had to take Xu Hongming's face into consideration, because he had seen from the corner of his eye that after Tao Boru said these words, the muscles on Xu Hongming's face couldn't help but jump a few times, and his face looked a little uncomfortable.
Naturally, it looks a little more embarrassing.
Sure enough, after Xu Hongming lowered his head and thought for a moment, he finally said to Tao Boru: "Old Tao, you always have to consider your identity when doing things. Once this matter is spread, will you, the vice president,
How about finding some words to talk about?! If someone accuses you that all the things you collect at home were obtained by taking advantage of your position... then you will be hard-pressed to defend yourself!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Fen's eyes fell quietly on Tao Boru. He saw that Tao Boru frowned, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he raised his head directly and said to Xu Hongming: "Old Xu, Qin Fen is not an outsider. I
I won’t be shy. I know that you really value your status as president. To be honest, I appreciate your attitude towards work. However, everyone has different ideas. You also know me, vice president.
To me, having this position is just that, I am lucky to get it and lose my life. Besides, I don’t think there will be so many good people. Even if there are, I won’t be afraid. If I am upright, I will not be afraid of a slanting shadow!"
Tao Boru is a straight-tempered person. One sentence made Xu Hongming blush. He didn't know what to say for a moment, because what Tao Boru said was not wrong at all! He is indeed an official fan!
Fortunately, Qin Fen on the side did not mean to blame him, which made him feel better.
"Actually, President Xu is right to think this way. After all, you two are members of the association, and your identities are very important. If you are caught, it will be difficult to explain! Mr. Tao, do you think this will work?
?!"
Just when Xu Hongming looked embarrassed, Qin Fen directly defended him, which made Xu Hongming's expression recover. Tao Boru on the side heard Qin Fen's words and immediately asked: "Whatever you say will be done! As long as I can
It can be done, and I will fully cooperate!”
"Well, there is no need to mention the influence you two have in the capital, but because of my status, I can't bring trouble to you two, so I hope you can bring some of the collectors you know to
Or some other figures in the antiques world can recommend it to me, and it would be best if they can help me negotiate and let them entrust the items they want to sell to our auction company."
"Of course, as long as the publicity is in place and their reputation is added, our 'Qinbao Art Auction Company' will be the first to hit the market in Beijing."
After Qin Fen said this, he directly picked up the tea and drank it.
"Well, Qin Fen, there are some things that you may not know much about. Most of these collectors are said to belong to the Pixiu family. They can only go out but not come in. Basically, they will never sell the things they collect until they die, so let them
It may be a bit difficult to put things up for auction. Of course, there are some people who like to share things with others, and some people make money in this way, so don’t be discouraged. I will tell some of my friends.
, I think for my sake, I should show some expression, right?!"
It has to be said that Tao Boru's words made Qin Fen's originally depressed mood much better. He thanked the other party: "Mr. Tao, I leave this matter to you two. To be honest, I am the same this time.
