Hearing what Zhao Qiuzhi said, Zhang Yang knew that he was in serious trouble. The matter was not as simple as he thought. Fortunately, he asked Zhao Qiuzhi to ask. Otherwise, he didn't know how he would have suffered if he had rashly found those auction houses.
embarrassment.
After Zhao Qiuzhi finished speaking, he glanced at Zhang Yang's face worriedly, and found that he was not angry or angry at himself, so he breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he did not intend to say these words. After all, these were inside information, not
People who have been immersed in the antique shop for many years cannot understand it. But after Qin Yonghua came, he felt great pressure.
Although Qin Yonghua talks little, he is very capable. He has not been idle for so many years in the Palace Museum. His eyesight is no worse than that of Zhao Qiuzhi, and he is even better than Zhao Qiuzhi in explaining many things. Zhao Qiuzhi
If he wanted to continue to be the chief eye master, he had to show his value. Therefore, after he learned that Zhang Yang planned to seek cooperation with the auction house, he took the initiative to send the information.
"Keep talking, I'm listening!" Zhang Yang said when he saw Zhao Qiuzhi stop.
Zhao Qiuzhi nodded and said: "So we can't choose these large auction companies for the time being. And we can't choose the remaining small auction companies. If we put things there, it is likely to be unsold. In the past, we still can't choose.
There have been cases of antiques being swapped out by auction companies, and we cannot choose them from either a safety or profit perspective."
Zhang Yang's face looks a bit ugly. The big ones are not good, and the small ones are not good either. It seems that these are the only ones left that are neither good nor bad.
Zhang Yang pointed to the companies he picked out and asked, "How about these three?"
Zhao Qiuzhi took it over and looked at it and said: "Hongguang Auction Co., Ltd. was established very early, but their fees have always been very high."
Zhang Yang asked: "How much is it?"
Zhao Qiuzhi smiled bitterly and said: "In addition to paying the auction house 10% commission, 3% personal income tax, 1% storage fee, and more than a thousand yuan in catalog fees, I also have to give them 20-30% of the benefits in private.
.Otherwise they won’t help you auction it.”
Zhang Yang cursed: "Fuck, they might as well go and rob it."
Zhao Qiuzhi smiled bitterly and said: "This is actually a rule of large auction houses, and it is also a non-public rule. The most cruel thing about Hongguang is that they have to charge you half of the benefit fee. In other words, 64% of your auction price
All the profits will be used as expenses, and the rest is yours. Take our orphan Xuande stove as an example. If it is sold for a sky-high price of 10 million in the auction house, you can only get 360.
Ten thousand, and the rest belongs to others."
Zhang Yang's face turned green after hearing this.
Damn it, no wonder he priced it at 15 million and no one even asked for it. He was still thinking why those auction companies didn't take the initiative to come to him if they knew he had good stuff. It turned out that they were waiting for him to go!
"Where are the remaining two families?" Zhang Yang asked.
Zhao Qiuzhi shook his head with a wry smile and said: "It's almost the same. If you auction it at the two of them, you can probably get 50% of the profit."
This time Zhang Yang's face was really gloomy and frightening. He had a lot of good things on hand. Yellow stone seal with plum birds competing for spring fields, statue of Guanyin, thousand-year-old jade, Kangxi pastel vase, unique Xuande furnace, Mao porcelain, and more
There were all kinds of rare stamps, solitary books, and unsold calligraphy and paintings. He originally thought that these could be sold for hundreds of millions at an auction house. If Zhao Qiuzhi said that, he would have to spend 50 million in profit fees alone.
.
That's not half a million or five million, but fifty million. This is simply killing people!
Fortunately, when he was watching TV before, he heard the experts' valuations, and the auction prices were millions and tens of millions. It turned out that the trick was so big. If the sales were not high, where would these auction houses make money? How could it be possible with just such a small commission?
Satisfy their appetite.
If it were 5 million to 10 million, Zhang Yang would still hold his nose and admit it, but he couldn't do it if he was asked to use half of the proceeds to satisfy the appetites of those guys. Although these things are easy to come by, they are all
He couldn't bear the sky-high price of a treasure, a rare genuine product, but he didn't earn as much as the auction house.
"Are all auction houses like this?" Zhang Yang said.
Zhao Qiuzhi smiled bitterly and said: "Boss, this is the unspoken rule of the auction house. If you want to sell goods with them first, you must accept their rules, otherwise you will not want to get a high price. Of course, if Mr. Huang comes forward,
, can be an exception. After all, Mr. Huang’s status in the world is there, but as far as I know, there is an auction house in Mr. Huang’s home.”
Zhang Yang said nothing with a gloomy face. If Huang's hometown didn't have an auction house, he wouldn't have organized an auction of high-priced woolen materials. He didn't expect that the old man who always smiled and laughed had such a deep conspiracy behind him. Mr. Huang never reminded him of these things from beginning to end.
, it seems that my eyes still need to be trained. An old fox is an old fox, and he has deceived himself miserably.
"You mean this road won't work?" Zhang Yang said.
Zhao Qiuzhi shook his head and said: "It's not that there is no chance at all, but we need to find a partner. In fact, many auction houses have fixed delivery channels, and the antique shops in Panjiayuan also have their own partners.
"
Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you mean by partner?"
"The benefit fee is actually given to the person in charge of the auction company. If there is no partner, the benefit fee will be very high, and the benefits will be shared by everyone in the auction house. And if we talk to the general manager of that auction company, he will be responsible
If people cooperate, these benefits will be transferred underground, and only one person can get it, maybe only ten percent is enough." Zhao Qiuzhi said.
Zhang Yang said in surprise: "So few?"
Zhao Qiuzhi said: "It seems that there is less, but there are other conditions. That is, these people in charge may take out some items of unknown origin and auction them in the name of our store. Some of these items are real, but more
Most of them are fake. It’s okay if nothing happens. If something happens, all the responsibility will be our store’s. The losses will be borne by us, and the store’s reputation will also be damaged.”
Zhang Yang frowned and said, "That means he will use the reputation of our store to sell counterfeit goods."
Zhao Qiuzhi sighed and said: "Not only that, they will also deliver some things to the store and let us help sell them. These are the prices. This is also a mutually beneficial cooperation. When they go to receive the goods, they often bring private goods.
, those that are not convenient for auction will be handed over to us. And we can also use the auction house to dispose of some goods whose authenticity cannot be determined."
Zhang Yang didn't say anything anymore. Zhao Qiuzhi had made it very clear. He could either pay a high price and auction his genuine goods. Or he could join in with them and sell the goods as genuine and fake. There was no third way.
"Okay, I understand, you go out first." Zhang Yang said with a gloomy face.
Zhao Qiuzhi didn't say anything and retreated.
Zhang Yang smoked cigarettes one after another, filling the office with smoke.
When Hong Yaqin opened the door and came in, she saw this scene.
"What troubles have you encountered?" Hong Yaqin asked.
Zhang Yang hurriedly put out the cigarette in his hand, opened the window for some air, and said with a forced smile: "You're here. Sit down, I'll be here soon, let's go out to eat."
Hong Yaqin stepped forward and held Zhang Yang's hand and said, "Is there anything else you can't say to me? Don't forget that I am your girlfriend."
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Nothing. By the way, what kind of person is Mr. Yaqin Huang?"
Hong Yaqin looked at Zhang Yang in confusion and said: "Uncle Huang? He is a famous expert in the Forbidden City. He has brought out many students and has a high status in the antique world. He has a good relationship with my father. They have known each other since they were young. Others
I don’t quite understand.”
"What about the Huang family?" Zhang Yang said.
Although Hong Yaqin didn't understand why Zhang Yang asked this, she still explained: "The Huang family's political status is not very high. After all, their family has always been mainly engaged in business. However, my father said that although the Huang family is not well-known,
But he is very rich. By the way, I have also heard that the Huang family donated a lot of cultural relics to the country in the early years, which is why Mr. Huang is respected by many people. What happened to Zhang Yang? "
Zhang Yang shook his head and said: "It's nothing, I just asked casually. By the way, where are we going to eat today? I have something to do in the past two days and I haven't spent much time with you."
Hong Yaqin said: "Let's go eat French food."
Zhang Yang said: "Okay, let's leave now."
During the meal, Hong Yaqin noticed that Zhang Yang was distracted from time to time, and said worriedly: "Don't hide it from me. What's going on with you? Maybe I can help. One person can calculate the shortcomings and the other two can calculate the strengths."
Zhang Yang put down his knife and fork, thought for a moment and said, "I'll think of a way to deal with the company's matters first. If I still have no idea, I'll tell you."
Zhang Yang doesn't want to rely entirely on Hong Yaqin.
He knew that as long as he raised it, Hong Yaqin would beg Mr. Hong to ask Mr. Huang for help to solve this problem for him.
But that's not what I want. If he relies on women for everything, then what's the point of his Boguzhai Kai? Doesn't it seem that he is too incompetent! Boguzhai relies on Hong Yaqin, and Yangfan Investment Co., Ltd. relies on Ji Yutong, then he
Zhang Yang has really become a freeloader, and he doesn't believe that he can't find a solution.
