the other side.
Tang Songyuan received a visit from Dai Peilin, Vice President of Sotheby's Greater China, in his office at Tang Dynasty Group.
Dai Peilin is a woman about thirty years old.
She is tall and looks smart and elegant in a well-tailored business suit.
Her skin is as fair as jade, her features are delicate, and her bright eyes sparkle with wisdom.
Her long black hair is tied neatly behind her head, showing her independence and confidence.
"Hello, Mr. Tang, I'm Dai Peilin, we just talked on the phone..."
As soon as Ye Jinghuan brought him in, Dai Peilin introduced himself with a professional smile.
She has excellent dressing sense. The professional suit she wears is not only fashionable but also of high quality, which perfectly outlines her figure curves.
At the same time, a pair of high heels made her figure more slim, and the handbag added a bit of fashion.
Tang Songyuan reached out and shook her hand, then invited her to sit down in the reception area.
Ye Jinghuan quietly withdrew, and after a while brought tea to the two of them, then walked out again and closed the door.
Tang Songyuan sat relaxed and asked straight to the point: "Mr. Dai came to me in such a hurry, what's the matter?"
Dai Peilin smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Tang is really an amazing person."
"Last time our company provided Mr. Tang with an auction plan. It had already been approved, but for some reason it was suddenly canceled?"
The previous batch of Dutch guilder and horse sword gold coins in the hands of Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties was indeed entrusted to Sotheby's and Christie's to auction 30,000 coins respectively. Both companies also proposed similar auction plans.
However, Tang, Song and Yuan later followed Mr. Lu's suggestion and ordered the two auction houses to sell in China.
Originally, the two auction houses wanted to withdraw from the cooperation, but after much hesitation, they still accepted Tang Songyuan's request.
Who would have known that this guy had just gone to sea and brought back many good treasures.
There are tons of gold and silver coins, as well as hundreds of pieces of fine porcelain.
Therefore, Dai Peilin, the vice president of Greater China, had to visit in person to discuss cooperation.
Make money, not be shabby...
However, Tang Songyuan still heard a hint of complaint from her mouth.
He smiled and said: "What happened last time was indeed because of me. I will personally apologize to you in front of Mr. Dai."
"I do have reasons for which it is inconvenient to disclose, and I ask for your forgiveness, Mr. Dai."
I'll admit when I'm wrong, but I won't necessarily change it next time...
Regardless of whether this apology was sincere or not, Tang Songyuan's attitude was still very upright.
Dai Peilin did not hold on and said, "I accept Mr. Tang's apology."
"Although the last cooperation was a little unpleasant,"
"But in the end, our Sotheby's auction results in Greater China were very good,"
"The batches of high-quality sea-harvested porcelain and Dutch guilder and horse sword gold coins sent for auction during the prosperous Tang Dynasty were sought after by many buyers, and the market response was very good..."
Having said this, Dai Peilin paused for a moment, then changed his sitting posture without leaving any trace and said:
"I heard that Mr. Tang's harvest this time was much greater than last time. I wonder if Mr. Tang has considered continuing to cooperate with us at Sotheby's?"
Tang Songyuan smiled and said:
"Of course there is no problem with cooperation, but the things I brought back this time are really a lot, and I'm worried that Sotheby's may not be able to eat them."
"And isn't there a saying that is often said in the industry? Things are more valuable when they are scarce. Once there are too many things on the market, they are not so valuable."
“So I don’t plan to give it all to Sotheby’s this time, but I’m going to keep a large part of it, and I plan to collect it myself.”
Dai Peilin nodded slightly and said: "This is the truth, but we at Sotheby's have a large share of the global market."
“Especially gold coins and various exquisite porcelains are the most highly regarded by Sotheby’s regular clients.”
"Sometimes some beautiful porcelain can even fetch sky-high prices..."
Then, Dai Peilin introduced Sotheby's auction process and services to Tang Songyuan in detail, as well as the various conveniences and preferential conditions they could provide to Shengtang.
Tang Songyuan listened carefully, nodding from time to time, but did not interrupt.
And Dai Peilin continued: "So, I hope to get the exclusive auction rights for Shengtang's harvest..."
"We will meet Mr. Tang's request to only auction in Greater China, and no matter how much Mr. Tang is prepared to spend for the auction this time, Sotheby's will hold a special auction for the prosperous Tang Dynasty..."
"You just said that things are rare and expensive. If you invest too much into the market at one time, it will inevitably affect the price."
“But I can customize a three-year contract for Shengtang on behalf of Sotheby’s, ensuring that within these three years, all Sotheby’s auctions in Greater China will place Shengtang as the best partner... ."
No wonder Dai Peilin, as the president of Sotheby's Greater China, has to visit in person.
Moreover, Yang Sijia, CEO of Shengtang Salvage, went directly to the group boss for discussion.
It turned out to be for the exclusive auction rights obtained by Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties.
You know, the treasures brought back by Tang, Song and Yuan this time were not only large in quantity, but also of many types.
There are seven or eight different grades of gold coins in three countries. For example, the British Guinea gold coins include half Guinea gold coins and quarter Guinea gold coins.
The same is true for silver coins.
What's more important is that this time there are not only porcelain from the Song Dynasty, but also hundreds of top-notch inherited porcelain from the mid-17th century.
Some of them are produced in official kilns, and these are all top-notch treasures that are worth a lot of money.
Tang Songyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Dai, I feel your sincerity, but I also need to consider this matter carefully."
To be honest, Sotheby's plan for Tang Song Yuan is actually quite exciting.
But he still wanted to shop around and listen to the conditions of other auction houses.
Everything is uncertain, dragging the word...
Dai Peilin didn't get a positive answer, and he wasn't too disappointed.
She still had a professional smile on her face and said, "You should consider it carefully. If Mr. Tang has any questions or needs further help,"
“We at Sotheby’s will be happy to serve you.”
Having finished talking about everything that should be discussed, Dai Peilin stood up, smiled and stretched out his hand to Tang Songyuan and said:
"Mr. Tang, thank you very much for your reception. I believe that we will be able to achieve a very successful cooperation."
Tang Songyuan also stood up, smiled and shook hands with Dai Peilin to say goodbye.
Not long after Dai Peilin left, Ye Jinghuan came in again to report:
"Mr. Tang, Mr. Zhang Dehai, the director of the Antiques and Curios Department of Poly Auction House, hopes to meet with you..."
