Siheyuan: All the incense in the family is counting on you

After studying it for a while, the two appraisers looked up, looked at each other, and nodded.

Then one of them said, "Mr. Wu, based on our initial observation and judgment, your porcelain vase should be a genuine product from the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. It has both the style and characteristics of Yuan Dynasty porcelain and the characteristics of Ming Dynasty porcelain."

Hearing this, Wu Lei felt excited. He knew that as long as it was authenticated as an authentic item, its value would certainly be very high. He also had a rough idea of ​​the value of this porcelain vase.

He suppressed his inner joy and pretended to be calm and asked, "Well, I know all this. I have carefully identified it when I bought it. So, may I ask the two experts, what is the estimated value of this blue and white porcelain vase?"

Another appraiser took over and said, "Don't worry. Although we both agree that this is a genuine product, it still needs to be tested by professional instruments and equipment before a formal appraisal certificate can be issued. If it is indeed a genuine product after testing, then the estimated price of your blue and white porcelain vase will not be less than 3000 million RMB. Of course, the specific auction price depends on market conditions and the buyer's willingness, so it is impossible to say exactly how much it will be sold for."

However, the price was lower than Wu Lei expected, which made him a little disappointed and fell silent.

The auctioneer in charge of the negotiations said quickly, "Well... we need to wait until the test results come out to know the exact price, and it's not fixed."

"Well, what happens if it fails to sell?" Wu Lei asked immediately.

"If the item fails to sell, you can choose to sell it to our auction house according to our valuation. Of course, you can also pay 1% of the valuation fee to take back your item." The salesperson replied.

"That is to say, if this blue and white porcelain worth 3000 million fails to be sold at auction, I will have to pay 30 to get it back?" Wu Lei secretly calculated the account in his mind.

"Yes." The salesperson nodded.

Wu Lei couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "If the blue and white porcelain worth 3000 million fails to be sold, I will have to pay 30 yuan in fees. It's really easy for you to make money!"

He did have some doubts in his mind, but they were soon dispelled. After all, this auction house was one of the most famous auction houses in the capital, and it was definitely not a scam company. However, the fees they charged were indeed not low.

The salesman smiled professionally and explained, “Organizing an auction requires a lot of upfront investment, so we must ensure that we make a profit, not operate at a loss.

But I firmly believe that your item will become a hot commodity at the auction and will definitely not be unsold. If the auction is successful, we will charge a 10% fee, including 2% income tax.

Of course, if the work fails to sell and you are willing to sell it to our auction house, you do not need to pay the 1% handling fee. "

"Do you want to pay first?" Wu Lei asked.

"How is that possible? We are not those fraudsters. All fees will be paid after the auction!" the salesperson explained quickly.

After some thought, Wu Lei agreed: "Okay, you can do the appraisal first, but the reserve price of 3000 million is a bit too low. We will discuss the price after the appraisal is completed."

"No problem. Please bring your baby and we will go to the appraisal center together. We will get the results soon." The salesperson replied with a smile.

Half an hour later, Wu Lei was holding the identification result in his hand, and he was very surprised. He had expected to wait for several days, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

The results were consistent with what the two appraisers said, confirming that this was a blue and white porcelain from the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.

Now, he could finally put his mind at ease. When he returned to the reception room again, the situation had changed. Not only were premium cigarettes and tea provided, but there was also a beautiful lady serving as a waiter.

The people who negotiated with Wu Lei were also replaced by senior management of the auction house.

After much bargaining between the two parties, the auction house finally offered a satisfactory condition: a reserve price of 3800 million yuan, and would display the blue and white porcelain as the finale treasure of the auction three months later.

Wu Lei was very satisfied with the price and signed the contract without hesitation.

After leaving the auction house, Wu Lei sat in his car and slapped the steering wheel excitedly. If it was sold at the reserve price, it would earn at least 3800 million yuan, and after the auction, it might be even more.

After I calmed down a bit, I took out my phone and asked, "Hello, where are you?"

"I'm at work!"

"Don't go, ask for leave and come out. I'll pick you up in half an hour!"

"it is good!"

There was no hesitation on the other end of the phone.

He started the car and stepped on the accelerator. The car roared out and stopped on the road outside the fourth son's store in less than half an hour.

Hao Meng twisted her slender waist and walked over with brisk steps.

After she got into the car gracefully, she asked in a tender voice, "Why are you in such a hurry? You even don't let me go to work!"

Wu Lei's face was filled with excitement and he replied, "Brother, I made a big deal today and I'm in a particularly good mood, so I specially asked you to come out and celebrate with me!"

Hearing this, Hao Meng's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a sweet smile. Thinking in his heart, it's good to celebrate, so that he can get more good things.

So she whispered, "Okay, shall we go to the hotel or my house?"

Wu Lei answered without hesitation: "Go to your house!"

As night falls, street lights on both sides of the street light up one after another.

Wu Lei walked down slowly from the upstairs. When he looked back, he saw Hao Meng standing in front of the window and waving at him. He raised his right hand and shook it gently in response, then turned around, got into the car and left.

Looking at the car taillights gradually going away, Hao Meng sat on the sofa with a smile, picked up her phone, and her eyes sparkled with joy. She couldn't help but sigh: "It's right to celebrate."

……

As for Li Bowen, after handing the things over to Wu Lei, he no longer paid attention to the situation in the space. It would take some time to sell them, and there was no point in paying too much attention to them. He just had to wait a few days to see if the things he asked to purchase had arrived.

The next day, Li Bowen rode his tricycle to the countryside again. He could not forget his job. Although he was promoted to deputy section chief, the content of his work remained unchanged.

We set out early today and saw the village just as the sun was setting. I put the cloth, cotton and food I had bought earlier in the bed of the bike and then rode into the village.

When he arrived at his house, he opened the door and pushed the car in.

Chen Qiao was the first to hear the noise. She came out of the house and trotted over to Li Bowen: "You brought back so many things!"

"It's not just ours. I also brought some for the foxes, and some for the hunter who asked me to bring them. Move them in first, and I'll send them to them tomorrow!"
