The Japanese are here and Chengfeng Chamber of Commerce will promote their sabers?
This thing is really strange.
Nowadays, there are two main rules for auctions. One is to hand over the auction items to the auction house for consignment, and the other is for the auction house to first buy the items at a low price and bear the risk themselves to seek higher profits.
Seeing that this Japanese man first reported his psychological price, his purpose was obviously obvious. He wanted Chengfeng Chamber of Commerce to buy his knife first.
It's just that the price is a bit outrageous.
Ten thousand taels of silver and a knife.
If it were an ordinary Tang Dao, I could buy at least a thousand of them, and it would be of high quality.
Bai Song still remembered that the sword Mo Zhu bought was only one hundred taels of silver. How come the same samurai sword was priced at ten thousand taels? The key is that Wang Mingyou, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, is still interested.
He had only heard about it before, but now he saw it with his own eyes. Only then did Bai Song realize how serious the trend of such sky-high-priced goods was.
The Bai Song Dynasty still remembers that his tea was sold to Japan at a very low price but was blocked. However, Japanese knives and various other commodities were very popular in Chang'an City. In ancient times, there was no way to conduct big data statistics, but now the relationship between the two countries is
The trade deficit must be unimaginable. The policy I advocate gives the Japanese people an opportunity to harvest the wool of the Tang Dynasty, which is definitely not acceptable.
Seeing that Wang Mingyou was about to agree, Bai Song stepped forward and said hello: "Boss Wang, the auction is about to start. Why don't you hurry up and make preparations? Why are you still chatting here?"
"Boss Bai..." Wang Mingyou looked at Bai Song and bowed his hands politely.
Bai Song took advantage of the situation and looked at several Japanese people: "Hey, it's another samurai sword."
"Yes, this is a good knife. This guest wants to exchange it for ten thousand taels of silver." Wang Mingyou explained.
"Ten thousand taels of silver? As for that? It's just a knife. Boss Wang isn't really tempted, is he?"
There was a bit of disdain in Bai Song's words, which obviously annoyed a few Japanese people. One of them curled his lips in disdain: "If you don't understand, don't speak... Don't go out and ask, what is the current samurai sword on the market?"
What’s the price?”
Bai Song was not angry and asked Wang Mingyou: "What? Is this thing really so expensive?"
Wang Mingyou nodded with a smile: "Boss Bai doesn't know. Recently, the supply of samurai swords exceeds the demand. Everyone is proud to carry a samurai sword. The sword you just saw was made by a master swordsmith. The starting price is two
Ten thousand taels. Although the one in front of me is not from a famous master, it is still a treasure that has been followed by Japanese warriors for many years. Ten thousand taels is actually not expensive."
The corner of Bai Song's mouth twitched, thinking that if someone else came to sell the knife, I wouldn't bother to care about it, but since the other person is from Japan, I have to take care of this matter.
"Boss Wang, it's better to be more prudent in business. The knife you mentioned has not been sold yet. You cannot use the price of the unsold goods as a criterion. As for this knife, I think it is better to sell it on consignment.
appropriate."
Bai Song spoke simply, with a deliberation attitude in his words, but his position was already stated in his words.
Wang Mingyou knew Bai Song's identity. Boss Bai's words were worth more than ten thousand taels of silver. Although he didn't know whether Bai Song had a deeper meaning, Wang Mingyou immediately expressed his attitude.
Wang Mingyou said to the Japanese: "Guys, the knife is a good knife. If it is sold on consignment and auctioned in an auction house, it should be sold for more than ten thousand taels. Will Chengfeng Merchant Association take advantage of the guests? If you really want to sell it,
The knife can be put directly on the auction block today."
Several Japanese people exchanged glances, and the knife seller finally nodded: "That's fine, we just haven't seen what the Tang Dynasty auction is like."
After a small interlude, people from the Chengfeng Chamber of Commerce first invited Bai Song and several Japanese people to the VIP room.
The venue of the auction is very particular. VIP rooms are on the second floor, and there are more than a dozen independent cubicles surrounding the exhibition booth.
People in the compartment cannot see each other, there is only a window that can be opened and closed.
The lower floor is the venue for ordinary guests.
Even ordinary guests who can participate in the auction are all dignitaries in Chang'an City. They don't have a net worth of thirty or fifty thousand taels, so they don't have the courage to get involved here.
The auction was about to start. Lan Ting looked out the window and kneaded Bai Song's shoulders. It was her first time to participate in such an activity. She was a little happy. While kneading, she spoke to Bai Song: "I didn't expect that there is such an activity among the people.
It’s really novel.”
"If you are really so curious, you can shout out the price later."
"Master, is this appropriate?"
"What's inappropriate? Who's boss pays for things himself?"
Lanting covered his mouth and smiled after hearing this. He didn't want to say anything anymore, but suddenly pointed to the opposite side of the window: "Master, the girl opposite seems to be waving to us."
Bai Song looked across and saw a familiar face waving a small handkerchief towards him.
Isn't this person Zhang Yuhan?
Bai Song stood up and stood at the window, smiled at Zhang Yuhan, and the two nodded again.
This time, Miss Zhang was not as calm as when they met at the door before. She looked around eagerly, as if she wanted to come over to find Bai Song. However, the VIP rooms at the auction venue were not connected to each other, even if they were adjacent
You have to walk downstairs and make a big circle to get in to both rooms.
There was no other way, Zhang Yuhan had a look of regret on his face, and finally sat down angrily.
But just as Zhang Yuhan sat down, Prince Charming, who he had met at the door of the auction house, suddenly poked his head out and looked in Bai Song's direction.
"Miss Zhang, who is that person?" Prince Charming asked.
Zhang Yuhan was feeling depressed and didn't want to talk to others at all, so he remained silent.
The auction started at this time.
The girl at the venue simply asked everyone present to be quiet first, and then explained the rules of the auction. After the venue was quiet, she finally took out the first item.
The first auction item was a long landscape painting with more than a hundred inscriptions, and the person who painted it was actually Mr. Yu Shinan from the Bai Song Dynasty.
This is a bit surprising, because Bai Song knows the character of his teacher. He hates having his calligraphy and paintings measured by money. If someone puts the calligraphy and painting he donated to a public auction, Mr. Yu will definitely not admit that it is him.
works. And in such a public place, if Mr. Yu refuses to admit it, it is a fake. Generally speaking, if Mr. Yu's paintings are sold publicly, such a thing will not happen.
But now as the opening work, Chengfeng Chamber of Commerce has used Yu Shinan's name, indicating that the chamber of commerce has no doubts about the authenticity of the work.
Sure enough, as the work was introduced, the commentator below said a key message.
