Sotheby's Auction House!
Shanghai.
Sotheby's Auction House Branch.
In a spacious conference room, several experts were holding magnifying glasses and walking around an amphora with a painting of the Qing Emperor Qianlong's Enamel Ancient Moon Pavilion Golden Rooster on a table in the middle.
The table and floor were covered with a thick layer of plush carpet to prevent any accidents.
"The layout of the entire picture is well-proportioned, elegant and thin... The colors stacked on top of each other. It could be said to be a representative work of the Qianlong period!”
"The carbon-14 test results are out. It is confirmed that this pair of porcelain is indeed an item from the Qianlong period.”
The bottom of the bottle was filled with the words "Qianlong Year System" on both sides of the column. The blue color inscription matched the style of Gu Yue Xuan porcelain very well.”
"Director Zhao, we have unanimously determined that this pair of porcelain vases is the Ancient Moon Pavilion Enamel Porcelain Vase from the Qianlong period.”
After more than two hours of identification and the assistance of science and technology, the two of them were able to identify the person.
A group of porcelain experts from Sotheby's Shanghai branch came to the conclusion that it was authentic.
Zhao Zhenyu, the general manager of Sotheby's Shanghai branch, walked over to Lin Fan, who was sitting in the corner of the conference room.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Mr. Lin!”
"Mr. Lin, I plan to put this pair of porcelain bottles on the summer auction during the Dragon Boat Festival.”
"I believe that after more than a month of publicity, the auction will definitely be able to fetch a price that will satisfy Mr. Lin.”
"For this auction, Sotheby's will only take a 10% commission.”
Previously, Zhao Zhenyu was still worried about this summer auction!
Among the items auctioned by the rival Christie's auction house, there was a painting of a lady by Tang Yin as the finale.
Sotheby's, on the other hand, didn't have a similar item.
Now, Lin Fan had brought a pair of amphoras with the painting of a golden pheasant in the Ancient Moon Pavilion.
In order to make Lin Fan hand the porcelain bottles over to Sotheby's for auction, Zhao Zhenyu was willing to give up a portion of the profits.
For world-renowned auction houses like Christie's and Sotheby's.
The commission was usually between 10% to 20% of the auction price.
"A pair?"
Lin Fan stood up and shook his head slowly. He pointed at the porcelain vase that was shining brightly under the spotlight and said,"
"This time, I only intend to hand over one porcelain bottle to your auction house!”
"Why?"
"Director Zhao, I think you know the principle of rarer things being more valuable, right?”
Zhao Zhenyu was speechless.
In the antique industry, it was indeed popular to say that rare items were expensive.
However, Zhao Zhenyu also knew that the effect of this pair of porcelain bottles being auctioned together was far better than just one.
Because…
This was an extremely rare antique from the third generation of the Qing Dynasty.
Moreover, it was a pair of well-preserved porcelain with such perfect quality.
The effect of one plus one was far greater than two!
However…
Since everyone was unwilling to accept Lin Fan's item, he couldn't persuade him anymore.
……
Lin Fan signed a commission agreement with the Sotheby's Auction House and handed over the other vase with the Ancient Moon Pavilion's Brocade Pheasant Painting to the auction house for safekeeping.
Soon after.
He went to the Shanghai branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and rented a safe. He put the two contracts, the commission agreement and the custody agreement, into the safe before returning to school with a peace of mind.
This was a matter of hundreds of millions of Chinese dollars, so Lin Fan had to be careful.
"Hmm?"
Lin Fan returned to the dormitory and looked at the beautiful campus belle Liu Qian who was surrounded by many people. He raised his eyebrows.
Why was she still here?
……
PS: I'm convinced!
Didn't Xiao Ji just want some free flowers, evaluation tickets, and monthly votes to make the book's surface results look better?
I didn't ask you guys to give me tips or send me updates all day long. Why are you scolding me?
Every day in the middle of the night, you guys also curse!
It's six or seven chapters every day, and you guys are still scolding!
It was fine if she scolded him, but she didn't even give him flowers or comments!
Xiao Ji was writing novels just to make a living. Why did she become so humble?
So tired!
My heart is so tired!
