Guan Xiaosheng thought about it and felt that this young man was not simple. Judging from his attitude towards such precious silk fabrics and his ability to identify ancient furniture, he had profound appreciation and experience.
Both of these points require a lot of exposure to cultural relics to develop. It is definitely not something that an ordinary farm boy can do.
In the literary and entertainment industry, as long as you see it a lot, you can often tell what is true or false at a glance.
Is he really here to sell armor?
It's more like asking for directions. He must have more good things in his hands.
A person who is less than twenty years old can achieve this level. Who trained him?
What is his background.
What happened today could be a test by the people behind him to establish a cooperation with Baoli.
If they feel that Baoli is not a good partner during this contact, they will turn to Liulichang and Jiade. Those two companies are by no means worse than Baoli.
After repeated weighing, Guan Xiaosheng still felt that it was better to tell the truth. If you want to make friends with someone, you must at least be sincere.
"Brother, although we meet for the first time today, you and I are very close to each other. Just call me your eldest brother."
"Okay, take care of me, brother"
"To be honest, there are too many armors from the Qing Dynasty in existence, and weapons and the like are not popular. There will not be many buyers. After all, the Qing Dynasty is very close to the present, and there are many provincial museums and private collections. I estimate that the highest number can only be four or five. 100,000 yuan, maybe there is a chance that the auction will not be successful.”
Yang Fan listened quietly. Judging from Guan Xiaosheng's tone, Guan Xiaosheng treated himself very carefully. This was a good start.
How many things happen in the beginning often determines many things in the future.
"However, you and I hit it off at first sight. I am willing to make a decision and accept this set of armor for half a million yuan." Guan Xiaosheng said after considering it.
After all, first build a relationship, then offer the other party some benefits, and then make a request, which is less likely to be refused.
"Brother Guan, aren't you making little profit this way? You're also at a huge loss. I'm not getting paid for nothing, so I'd better go through the auction process as normal." Yang Fan declined. In fact, he didn't expect this armor to be worth half a million. He was very happy to pay this price.
"Brother, let me tell you the truth. There will be an auction in three days that is very important to our company, but it lacks a grand finale. This Dharani sutra quilt is very suitable for this grand finale. Are you willing to take part, and we will commission You can get a 50% discount," Mr. Guan said sincerely.
Yang Fan didn't expect today that the flowers he planted would not bloom, but the willows that he planted unintentionally would create shade. What is really valuable is this rag. In his heart, it is just a rag.
Yang Fan thought about what to say and was silent for a while. In the eyes of Mr. Guan, his expression was clearly one of unwillingness to let go. I felt even more uneasy.
Yang Fan understood that Mr. Guan was so honest because he really needed this piece of rag to show off. If he agreed to it, it would be equivalent to giving him a favor. Favor is also an investment. It may be of great use in the future.
In the future, I will need to use the Polaroid a lot when traveling on both sides, so it is worth the investment.
Since you want to give a favor, you can't agree too quickly, otherwise the favor will be greatly reduced. The more difficult it is, the more valuable it is.
"Mr. Guan, if I can make the decision on this thing, you can take it, but..." Yang Fan had a troubled expression on his face. No further words were said.
Everyone in the room had a look of understanding. There was indeed something behind this kid.
"Can you allow me to go back and discuss it? The auction will be held in three days. I will give you an answer tonight." Yang Fan said after considering it.
"No problem. Brother Yang, I can rest assured that you will handle the matter. I will wait for your good news." Mr. Guan knew that urging at this time would only have a bad effect. He also said happily.
"This is my business card. You can call my mobile phone at any time." Mr. Guan handed over a gold-gilded business card.
"Okay, please wait for my call." Yang Fan didn't waste any time and put away his business card.
"Xiao Qing, prepare a contract for Brother Yang. In addition, transfer 500,000 to Brother Yang."
Mr. Guan immediately settled the matter, making Yang Fan embarrassed not to try his best to mediate the matter.
"Brother Yang, this Dharani quilt should be a pair of two pieces. I wonder if you know the whereabouts of the other piece."
"There should be another piece. I'll go back and discuss it to see if we can take it out together." Mr. Guan was happy, and Yang Fan was unambiguous.
"Okay, Brother Yang is a cheerful person" Mr. Guan was overjoyed. In the antique shop, a pair of items is generally worth four times as much as a single item. That is to double the value of the two items.
At the same time, the stimulation of popularity is even stronger. The more rare the treasure, the harder it is to find a pair. Mr. Guan estimated that if the two pieces were photographed together, it would definitely be a hit.
While talking, Xiaoqing had already brought the contract. Yang Fan took a closer look. I signed it directly without any problems.
Then his cell phone dinged, and a text message showed that half a million dollars had arrived.
Yang Fan knew that his refusal would only make Mr. Guan uneasy. So I happily signed the armor contract.
"I live in Room 505 of the Yoshi Hotel on Chaowai Street. If I can give it to you for auction, I will call you and send someone to pick it up." Yang Fan said.
"Okay, I'll just wait for the good news." Mr. Guan said.
"Then I'll take my leave first." Yang Fan stood up and shook hands with Mr. Guan and everyone in the room.
"Brother Yang, how did you get here?" Mr. Guan asked.
“I came by taxi”
"Xiao Qing, Huang Ying, take Brother Yang to the hotel for me." Mr. Guan said.
"Then thank you, Mr. Guan." Yang Fan did not refuse, put away the Dharani Sutra, said goodbye and left.
Yang Fan was a little excited to be accompanied by two beauties. Taking the elevator directly down to the underground garage, my heartbeat obviously accelerated along the way.
"What do you call the two sisters?" Yang Fan asked shyly.
"My name is Zuo Xiaoqing, Mr. Guan's secretary, and she is Huang Ying, the auction director at Baoli Auction." Xiao Qing said with a smile.
"My name is Yang Fan, Mu Yi Yang, Ordinary Fan." Yang Fan stretched out his hand, and the two beauties shook his hand.
Zuo Xiaoqing's fingers are long and thin. It feels very textured when held, and she is also tall and thin, a typical skinny beauty.
Zuo Xiaoqing looked about 25 or 26 years old, with her eyebrows lightly swept and makeup applied. She is 1.75 meters tall, has a pair of straight long legs, and wears a black skirt and gray stockings. The deserted temperament has a strange sex appeal.
Zuo Xiaoqing looked taller than Yang Fan in high heels. Yang Fan is only eighteen years old. Although he is a little dark due to the wind and sun from working on the construction site, his face is very young and he looks very green. The two of them felt like siblings when they walked together.
Zuo Xiaoqing was a bit stern. Although he was very polite, he didn't make people feel close to him.
This was Yang Fan's first time encountering such a cold-faced beauty. It feels a little cramped.
Huang Ying is just the opposite. She is only about 1.6 meters tall, has round and round legs, and has a pair of slightly thick chubby legs. She looks like she has a different charm. Like Hong Jinying, she is simply the face of the fat world. The same suit and high heels look particularly cute.
Huang Ying has a lively personality, but she quickly became familiar with Yang Fan.
"Mr. Yang, you don't show your true face! Not many people can see the note in the general manager's office. You looked at it as soon as you entered the room. At that time, Mr. Huang and the others were stunned. You are better than that A few old men are quite powerful.”
"There, I'm just talking nonsense. How old am I? I'm only eighteen this year. It's the elders who give me face and support the younger generations. How can I compare with Mr. Huang and others?"
Walking out of the elevator while laughing, a black Mercedes-Benz S600 was already parked at the door. A young man in a black suit and white gloves stepped forward and opened the door.
"Sisters please," Yang Fan said with a smile.
"Mr. Yang is the distinguished guest, you should invite me first."
After a lot of pushing and giving, in the end, Zuo Xiaoqing sat on the left and Huang Ying sat on the right.
Yang Fan sat in the middle.
The Mercedes-Benz drove away and headed straight to the Yishi Hotel.
Yang Fan was sitting in the car, smelling the faint fragrance around him, and suddenly remembered an idiom, maybe this is the so-called blessing of all people.
