Zhu Changan pressed the switch, and the door of the villa slowly opened.
Cheng Mei's Audi and Li Xiaobai's BMW continued to drive forward, giving way to the door, and the two Buick commercial vehicles following behind drove into the yard one after another.
After the car stopped, seven or eight men got out of the car wearing green suits with "Chang'an Wenwan" signs on their chests. They all bowed to Zhu Changan.
"Hi boss!"
"Haha...Hello, welcome." Zhu Changan responded with a bright smile.
Not to mention, after uniforming the costumes, this formation looks quite formal and stylish.
Cheng Mei and Li Xiaobai walked into the yard side by side and greeted with a smile: "Boss, we are here to transport the antiques to the company according to your instructions."
Zhu Changan made an invitation gesture: "Come in, everyone!"
Cheng Mei and eight staff members followed Zhu Changan into the living room.
Zhu Changan opened the door of the study room and saw that it was filled with desks, chairs, bookshelves, and even a pile of antiques on the floor.
There are bronzes, various styles of porcelain, and jades, all in all, a total of one hundred and eighteen pieces.
Cheng Mei put on gloves and carefully entered the study, looking at each item one by one.
"Oh, this piece of bronze is from the Yuan Dynasty. It can probably be sold for three to four million."
"This porcelain vase is not bad. It was from the Yongle period. It is rare and valuable. It can be sold for at least four to five million!"
"Yeah... this jade looks like it was from the Five Dynasties. It's hard to say the exact value. I have to go back and check. It's probably no less than eight figures."
Cheng Mei was like Grandma Liu after entering the Grand View Garden. She couldn't put it down and looked at each piece, exclaiming in admiration.
Zhu Changan stood behind his teeth and listened quietly.
After listening to Cheng Mei's appraisal, it is estimated that the value of this pile of antiques is over 100 million. Hehe... In this case, the 9.99 million given to Cheng Yinuo is just a drizzle!
"Boss, I made a rough estimate. The number of toys in this room is no less than this!"
Cheng Mei held out three fingers and said, "Three hundred million. The most valuable one should be the fifth-generation jade, which is estimated to be worth more than ten million."
"Okay, okay, okay..."
Zhu Changan said yes with a smile, "I will hand them all over to Mr. Cheng now. How much you can sell them for depends on your ability."
Cheng Mei nodded, and then ordered the staff behind her: "Now start packing the truck and make records."
"okay."
The staff agreed and started working in an orderly manner.
Two people entered the house to carry the cultural relics out, two people were responsible for recording and making files, and the remaining four people were responsible for packing them and finally moving them to the car.
"Mr. Cheng and Mr. Li, let them clean up slowly. Let's go to the tea room to taste tea."
Zhu Changan was in a good mood and enthusiastically invited Cheng Mei to have tea.
But she saw Cheng Mei glare at a young man and scold him: "Zhang Tao, what's wrong with you? I've repeatedly stressed that you must wear gloves when touching porcelain, why are you still bare-handed?"
The young man apologized hurriedly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Cheng, it's my first time to see so many toys, so I'm a little panicked."
"A fine of one thousand."
Cheng Mei said expressionlessly, "The state has national laws, and families have family rules. When I gave you training, I repeatedly emphasized that you should wear gloves when touching porcelain, but you still ignored it."
"Um……"
Zhang Tao lowered his head and sighed helplessly, "I accept the punishment."
"Haha...this happened."
Zhu Changan sympathized with the young man, "Comrade Xiao Zhang, how much is your monthly salary?"
"Eight thousand."
Zhang Tao answered honestly, "With commissions, performance bonuses, etc., it should be over 10,000."
In a second-tier city like Lanling, a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan is considered very good. After all, the work in Wenwan Company is relaxed and leisurely. In addition, the company also provides five insurances and one fund, and can also take weekends off.
But for young people who are new to the workplace, a fine of 1,000 yuan is enough to remember them for a long time.
"Boss, don't worry about it, I'm going to let them have some memory."
Cheng Mei put on a hard-hearted look and said to another young man, "Shi Lei, you are the team leader. You must do the assessment well. Zhang Tao violated the working conditions and was fined one thousand."
The young man named Shi Lei smiled and nodded: "Okay, Mr. Cheng, I will remember it."
Zhu Changan lit a cigarette and said to Zhang Tao: "Young man, go to the garage and carry ten bags of cement to the back hall for me. As reward, I will pay you one thousand yuan."
After a pause, he added: "Of course, I don't mean to force you. You can choose to refuse."
Zhang Tao was so moved that he almost cried: "Boss, I do, I do!"
Zhu Changan then spread his hands to Cheng Mei: "Mr. Cheng, am I breaking your rules?"
Cheng Mei shook her head and smiled bitterly, then said to the staff who were working carefully: "You are lucky to meet a good person like the boss. If you are a black-hearted capitalist, it will not be so easy to make money."
"thank you boss!"
"The boss is a good man. I wish him prosperity every year!"
Amidst the rainbow fart, Zhu Changan brought Cheng Mei and Li Xiaobai to the tea room for tea.
"I'll make tea."
Li Xiaobai, who had been silent for a long time, quickly showed off. He picked up the Biluochun on the shelf and made a pot of it. Suddenly, the aroma of tea filled the room.
"Thanks."
Cheng Mei took a sip from the tea cup and reported to Zhu Changan: "I have organized our first auction of Chang'an cultural toys and plan to hold it in Macau."
"Okay, since I have entrusted the Wenwan Company to Mr. Cheng, I have complete trust in you." Zhu Changan flicked the cigarette ashes on his fingertips and said.
Cheng Mei continued: "The auction house chose Jiebang Company in Macau. They are a company specializing in art and entertainment and have many high-quality customers. Their commission is 0.5 points higher than other companies."
"How much is that?" Zhu Changan asked.
"Two point five." Cheng Mei gently turned the tea cup on the table, "That is to say, if it helps us sell it for 100 million, the auction house will take a commission of two point five."
Zhu Changan said in surprise: "I thought the commission was borne by the buyer, but it turned out to be borne by the seller."
"To be precise, the seller and buyer each bear 2.5 percent."
Cheng Mei put down the tea cup and quickly sent a message while answering questions to her boss.
"Is that so?"
Zhu Changan held a cigarette in his left hand and picked up a tea cup in his right hand: "The auction house is so fun. After eating, the sellers eat the buyers. I think we should also build an auction company of our own."
Cheng Mei explained: "Things should be understood this way. Although we have to pay a commission of 2.50 to find a professional auction house, the buyer resources the auction house has may allow us to sell dozens more points for the goods in our hands. Even hundreds of points.”
"It's not difficult to open an auction house. What's difficult is how to attract high-end customers and how to make customers trust us. What's more, Tang's Auction House is the only one in China, and they monopolize 70% of the antique industry. Above, it will be difficult for a new auction house to develop."
"So, I think that instead of going through all the trouble of setting up my own auction house, it is better to acquire more high-quality products and use the resources of the auction house to sell them at high prices, so as to achieve a win-win result."
"Of course, if you, boss, want to build your own auction house, that's not impossible. I know a few friends who are engaged in antique auctions."
Zhu Changan pressed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray: "Let's talk about this later. After all, our cultural and entertainment company has just started, and we are waiting for work. Let's wait until everything is on track!"
"Okay, boss."
Cheng Mei nodded and used voice to reply a message to her friend, "Yes, Mr. Lu, our auction is scheduled for November 26th at the Macau Jiebon Company Auction Building. You are welcome to visit then. "
Zhu Changan looked at his mobile phone. Today is November 15th. The "Double 11 Online Promotion" that has gradually become silent has just passed. There are still eleven days left before the first auction of "Chang'an Wenwan".
"Father, how is the construction of your vault going?"
Li Xiaobai filled Zhu Changan's tea cup with a playful smile, "If possible, can you take me and Mr. Cheng to broaden our horizons?"
Cheng Mei already knew the relationship between Li Xiaobai and Zhu Changan very well, so she was not surprised by Li Xiaobai's outrageous title. Instead, she crossed her legs and quickly flipped through the messages on her phone.
"It is estimated that it will be ready for use in another seven or eight days."
Zhu Changan picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "After drinking this tea, I will take you to visit."
