There are two floors in the Director's Hall building dedicated to catering, which Chen Feng is familiar with. She chose a store with relatively good taste and a very elegant environment.
"Senior sister, are you still used to life in Kyoto?"
"It's good. Life is no longer as impetuous as before, and the workload is relatively much less. Especially the salary has been greatly improved. At this point in my life, what else can I be dissatisfied with?"
"Just get used to it." Li Mo poured her a glass of lemonade and then another glass for himself and said, "There will be a lot of money after the autumn auction. I have a few ideas on how to use these funds. Let me tell you first. Listen. your advice."
Chen Feng listened carefully and earned more than 400 million in one fell swoop. This kind of income was far behind many GEM listed companies and many listed companies in sunset industries. At present, the company's other businesses are not being developed simultaneously, so the money can only lie in the bank account.
From her professional perspective, if money is not circulating, it means it is depreciating.
"I am planning to set up a charity fund specifically to help orphanages and nursing homes. I will inject an amount into this fund every year. Once the fund is on track and our company has sufficient funds, we can consider expanding the scale and include the charity. More."
Chen Feng admires Li Mo very much. This ideal is lofty.
"How did you come up with this idea?"
Li Mo took a sip of water and said, "It must have happened when I was a child. My mother grew up in an orphanage. I heard her say that her adoptive parents died in a car accident when she was a child, and they were later sent to the orphanage in the town by the villagers. There she received the love she had never experienced before, and she grew and learned there until she graduated from junior high school."
"Later, the dean's grandmother sponsored her to go to high school, and then she was admitted to the dance major of the Shanghai Academy of Arts. After graduation, my mother has been giving back to the orphanage."
"After I met my dad, they were doing this together. Although the money was not much, it was their love. Now that I have greater ability, I want to do more things."
Chen Feng thought for a while and asked: "How much is the starting capital?"
"One hundred million."
"Establishing a charity fund requires a lot of approval procedures. If you are sure you want to do it, I will start it. What is the name of the charity fund?"
"It's called the 'Beautiful Charity Fund', and it's linked to the Li family business. The fund will never touch venture capital, and will only invest in stable returns. You have to remember this. After it is established, it will be left to you for the time being, and supervision will be introduced. Fang, make the funds transparent, and you can decide for yourself what team you need to form.”
"Okay, I've written it down."
"The second thing is the joint small investment project that Mr. Niu is going to do. As for the catering business, you just need to arrange for a smart person to follow up."
"Boss Niu has already communicated this matter with me, and everything is in progress."
"Senior sister, actually I have great expectations for this small catering business. In the future, I might be able to get a listed company, and I will share your shares then. Hahaha, of course this is a lofty goal. You are Professionals in this field should always remind Mr. Niu.”
At this time, the dishes ordered were brought out one after another. Li Mo just smelled it and said: "The level of the chefs here is average. These dishes may seem bland, but in fact they have been processed in advance and many nutrients have been lost. Senior sister, if you want To eat healthy food, you also need to choose your home again.”
"Really?" Chen Feng looked at the food in front of her and suddenly lost her appetite. She looked at her surroundings and said, "No wonder the environment here is so quiet."
"Let's have a simple meal." Li Mo picked up his chopsticks and started eating. After a few bites, he said, "Senior sister, let's switch to another restaurant."
The two paid and left.
An auction in the afternoon started at three o'clock. After lunch, Li Mo quietly browsed through the antiques that were going to be auctioned in the past few days in the office. Kimberly Auction House prepares a wide variety of auction items. In addition to calligraphy and painting porcelain, there are also many jades and antiques, which are richer and more abundant than those of New Century Auction House.
The other three auction houses also have their own characteristics. One of the highlights is the auction of coins, which are from various dynasties. They also prepare a lot of silver coins from the Republic of China.
Fortunately, Chen Feng collected information in advance. Based on the information, he could selectively arrange to participate. What he was most concerned about was the auction of calligraphy and painting.
Among the auction items prepared by a Datong auction house in the afternoon were three paintings by Shi Tao and one painting by Tang Yin.
At half past two o'clock, Li Mo and Chen Feng started to sign in. Today's protagonist is Chen Feng. Her identity is the general manager of Millennium Shengzang. This kind of person is naturally the most popular among the auction houses.
"Sister, the two auctions tomorrow will be in another place. The one in the morning is not interesting. I will go over to attend the Kimberly Auction in the afternoon. If the price of that car is about 10 million, I will buy it. The rest will be notified by me. .”
"Okay, Mr. Niu's first payment of 150 million will arrive tomorrow morning at the latest, and we have some capital."
The two of them were in the first three rows, and the number of people at this auction was larger than that in the morning.
"Mr. Niu is determined to make his auction house number one in the industry. It doesn't seem to be that easy." Chen Feng said in a low voice.
"Auction houses compete for resources. If you have good resources, you can stand out. This cannot be rushed."
The auction started soon. The first few items to be auctioned were jades. Li Mo sat in front and looked at the projection on the big screen. He was only a little interested in one of them, the 'Han Ba Dao', but did not take action. The auction price was a little Falsely high. Cereals
After the sixth auction item was pushed up, it was a work by Shi Tao.
Shi Tao was a painter in the early Qing Dynasty and one of the Four Monks. He was good at poetry, calligraphy and painting. He is good at painting landscapes, and also works with orchids and bamboos. This work is one of his flower paintings. There are poems, inscriptions and several seals on the picture.
The poem is "The fragrance spreads like smoke in the sky, and the moon shines and the plum blossoms fall".
The name is "Ling Ding old man".
The auctioneer was passionately explaining Shi Tao's life and the influence of his works. Seeing that the enthusiasm of the guests at the scene was mobilized, he said passionately: "The starting price is 6.8 million, and each increase will start at 100,000."
"Guest No. 9 costs 6.8 million."
"Guest No. 23 costs 6.9 million."
“Guest No. 51 is worth seven million.
The auction numbers on the stage were being reported one after another. Li Mo, who was sitting on the seat, used his special pupils. After the transformation of his special pupils, he could see through more than thirty meters. Therefore, when his eyes were focused, the Shi Tao painting suddenly revealed a milky white color. Halo, forming layers of apertures that spread out.
Damn it, Li Mo was shocked. The scene in front of him undoubtedly showed that the paintings on the stage were not Shi Tao's original works at all, but were imitations by others.
Judging from this kind of attainment, it is most likely that he is an imitation of Mr. Daqian. There is no way, Mr. Daqian likes to imitate Tang Yin, Bada Shanren, and Shi Tao's paintings too much. There is a saying in the market that nine out of ten paintings are imitations, and it is difficult to tell whether they are genuine or fake.
Here comes the problem. Datong Auction House is auctioning it as an authentic work by Shi Tao. If you find out after buying it that it is a forgery, how can you solve this problem?
Li Mo thought for a while and sent a text message to Mr. Gu, asking him if he had encountered similar problems before.
"If you are worried that it is a counterfeit product, you can sign an agreement and negotiate compensation before payment."
Gu Feng replied to a text message first, and then another one came within a few seconds: Have you discovered the counterfeit?
Li Mo didn't reply, so Mr. Gu must have guessed it in his mind.
"Junior brother, are you interested in this painting?" Chen Feng asked quietly.
“I was originally interested, but I’d rather forget it now.”
Li Mo shook his head and sighed secretly.
The bidding for Shi Tao's paintings has been rising steadily, and after more than ten minutes of bidding, it has exceeded 30 million. After seven or eight rounds of bidding, the deal was finally hammered down at 32.6 million.
"Congratulations to guest No. 52."
Li Mo turned to look at the guest No. 52 not far away. She was a middle-aged woman in her forties. She had an excited look on her face and was happy that she could get an authentic piece of Shi Tao.
"The next auction item is also Shi Tao's painting "Lotus". The bidding process will start directly. The starting price is 6.8 million, with each increase starting from 100,000."
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, people raised their placards one after another.
And Li Mo also naturally used his special eyes to look, and couldn't help but curse when he saw the scene in front of him. This Datong auction house is so deceptive. The second painting is also a forgery.
"Lotus Picture" was sold for RMB 30.9 million.
Next are several ordinary auction items, worth hundreds of thousands.
Nearly three hours have passed, and the atmosphere at the scene has reached its hottest point. The last two final items were presented at once.
One is still the plum blossom painting by Shi Tao, while the other is the "Barren Mountain Bamboo Forest" by Tang Yin.
As soon as he was pushed up, Li Mo's eyes glanced over.
Then he stood up silently and whispered: "Senior sister, let's go."
"Why did you leave suddenly?"
Although Chen Feng didn't understand, his blood boiled with excitement and he seemed to still have more to say.
"There is nothing to see. Three Shi Tao paintings and one Tang Yin painting are all imitations of Mr. Daqian. If this is exposed, Datong Auction House will be doomed."
