Zhang Dehai, as the head of the Antiques and Curios Department of Poly Auction House, also had a deep cooperative relationship with Sheng Tang.
Of course he would pay great attention to any big moves made by Shengtang recently.
Under Tang Songyuan's greeting, Zhang Dehai sat back down and said with a smile:
"No, in fact, Poly's special auction for Tang Dynasty is about to be held. I came here specially to express my congratulations to Mr. Tang in advance."
As he spoke, he placed a thick brochure in front of Tang Songyuan and said:
"Mr. Tang hasn't seen this brochure yet. It's carefully prepared for Shengtang Group's special auction."
Hearing this, Tang Songyuan's eyes flashed with anticipation.
He casually opened the brochure, and on the first page was an exquisite blue and white porcelain vase from the mid-to-late seventeenth century.
The full name is Canglong Godson Ribbon Vase.
The blue and white flowers are sapphire blue, with different shades, distinct green and very bright.
He flipped through the pages page by page, and each item was accompanied by a detailed introduction and high-definition photos, which fully demonstrated the unique charm of the item.
Tang Songyuan nodded and agreed: "Your work is indeed in place. I believe this auction will definitely attract widespread attention. However,"
He put down the brochure and looked at Zhang Dehai, "I hope to keep a low profile during the auction... I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble."
"Mr. Tang, please be at ease!" Zhang Dehai nodded clearly and said with a slight smile: "I still understand these basic rules."
In the following time, Zhang Dehai made an in-depth report on the specific details of the auction.
From the selection and valuation of the lots to the auction process and security measures, every aspect was explained in detail.
He also said: "For this auction, we at Poly have used our greatest personal connections. Poly's past major customers, as well as many international buyers, have expressed their willingness to actively participate."
"We will do our best to ensure the smooth progress of the auction."
"I also believe that this auction will definitely bring unexpected gains to Shengtang Group."
After hearing this, Tang Songyuan nodded.
Their eyes met in the air, and they both saw the determination and expectation in each other's eyes.
"Let's talk about the batch of treasures that Mr. Tang put into the warehouse two days ago..."
Zhang Dehai changed his sitting position, moved slightly closer to Tang Song and Yuan, and asked softly: "I heard that there is an extremely exquisite antique sword in there?"
He should be talking about the cross sword that was worn by the Portuguese King Sebastian when he was crowned in the Levasseur Treasure.
Tang Songyuan showed an expression on his face, and he laughed and said: "Minister Zhang is indeed well-informed!"
Then he nodded calmly and said: "There is indeed such a sword, but don't think about it, Minister. I plan to keep it privately."
There are documents to test this sword, so its value must be extraordinary.
But this will definitely involve Levasseur's treasure, so whether it is a sword or the cross that is also symbolic,
In the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, they would not put it up for auction.
Wouldn't that be causing trouble for yourself...
Zhang Dehai seemed to have expected this. He smiled slightly, not caring about Tang Songyuan's rejection, and said:
"What about the many gold handicrafts and the huge number of gold and silver coins?"
"Mr. Tang doesn't have these in his private collection, right..."
Tang Songyuan laughed loudly and said, "That's definitely not the case!"
"However, this time, whether it is gold and silver coins, gold handicrafts, jewelry, etc., the quantity is very large."
"I'm worried that it's too big to put into the market at once, and the market won't be able to bear so much weight."
Levasseur's treasure alone contains no less than five tons of gold, half of which is gold coins from various regions at that time.
There are also a large number of various antique jewelry inlaid with gemstones, which are also of great value.
A flash of joy flashed in Zhang Dehai's eyes. As long as Tang Songyuan was willing to sell it, it wouldn't be a problem.
He said: "In terms of coins, it is really not advisable to invest too much at one time, but there is no problem with gold handicrafts and antique jewelry with historical value."
"You have to believe in the strength of our Poly network..."
Poly Auction House is firmly ranked among the top three in the world and the number one auction house in China. There is absolutely no doubt about its strength.
Moreover, the warehouses in the prosperous Tang Dynasty were piled up like mountains. With Poly helping to sell such good things, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties would laugh out of their dreams.
He thought for a moment and then said: "Originally, I planned to put most of them into the shipwreck museum of the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the future."
"Since Minister Zhang said so, let's put some of the gold handicrafts and antique jewelry up for auction first and see how the market reacts."
"If the situation is good, we will consider subsequent auction plans..."
After hearing this, Zhang Dehai nodded repeatedly and agreed: "Mr. Tang's idea is very sound. This can not only test the market's reaction, but also avoid investing too much at once and causing market saturation."
The two parties hit it off immediately and immediately reached a preliminary cooperation intention.
As for more details, as well as which gold crafts, antique jewelry and gold and silver coins with great historical value and artistic charm should be selected for auction,
Then let Zhang Dehai lead a team to the warehouse of Shengtang to select, and Yang Sijia would also be responsible for following up.
...
In the afternoon, Ye Jinghuan came to Tang Songyuan's office and reported to him:
"Mr. Tang, Guan Kaixuan from Angola has received news that thirteen of the sixteen medicinal materials you mentioned can be collected and purchased in large quantities."
"The remaining three species are very rare in Angola and the countries surrounding Angola due to seasonal and production reasons."
These sixteen kinds of medicinal materials are related to the new development plans of the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties.
Whether the mysterious formula given by Li Qingying can become an endless treasure trove depends on the strength of the medicinal materials in the formula.
I've given you three thousand micrograms, and I'll keep you for five more centimeters...
You can tell with your feet how much of a sensation this thing will cause.
Tang Songyuan frowned slightly and asked: "Which three types?"
Ye Jinghuan said without thinking: "Golden plum orchid, star grass and grape fruit..."
After hearing the names of these three plants, Tang Songyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
When he left Angola, he collected a lot of herbal seeds and plants, and these three medicinal materials were among them.
He nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I understand, I will find a way to deal with it."
"In addition, you ask Guan Kaixuan to buy me all the medicinal materials that can be collected and purchased, and then transport them back to the country,"
"I'm of great use..."
