My girlfriend is from 1949

Chapter 42 Connections Arrive, Zhou Hongsheng

In fact, it is common practice for antique shop owners to act as intermediaries, inviting old customers to organize a small auction.

Sometimes, several long-time customers would entrust him to purchase the same piece of calligraphy or painting. After finding a source, the boss would have the customers bid against each other.

Then you can simply deduct a service fee from it.

However, the commission rate in the contract is much lower than that of auction houses and privately organized events.

However, in the antique business, there are very few long-term partnerships.

If you can consistently bring in good things, the long-term benefits can be substantial.

Feng Chaoyang opens his doors to do business, and he'll do anything as long as there's a profit.

Nowadays, all industries are very competitive, and even small, insignificant incomes that were not valued before are now being taken seriously.

Besides, regardless of whether it's true or not, let's agree to cooperate first and keep them here.

Otherwise, others can easily find other stores to cooperate with, not only losing profits for nothing, but also potentially giving competitors more sources of goods.

Feng Chaoyang is an antique collector and enjoys reading classical Chinese texts. His attitude is like that of Cao Cao towards Xu Shu: even if he doesn't use it, he will snatch it up and keep it by his side, never leaving it for anyone else!

Therefore, once they determined that it would be profitable, they immediately agreed to cooperate.

The young couple would take the goods if they had them, and if they didn't, he wouldn't have to pay a penny.

Feng Chaoyang agreed to cooperate and immediately got to work.

"Mr. Zhang, I have a batch of top-quality goods; they'll be gone if you're late!"

"Mr. Wang, weren't you looking for good tea? I just found a tin!"

"Mr. Li, we have some fine porcelain! Come quickly!"

"..."

Feng Chaoyang made a few phone calls, then hurriedly went to the door and hung up a sign saying the business was temporarily closed.

Then they added a few chairs, which fanned out around the long table where the items were displayed, making it look like a small auction.

They even went out of the shipping container to find something that looked similar.

Then I put the cheap fakes in the cabinet and put boxes on the three items.

It has to be said that the box makes it look several levels better than the plastic bag we used to use!

Soon, a Maybach pulled up at the entrance.

"Old Liu, you still want to snag a bargain? 105 million!"

"108 million!"

"110 million!"

"112 million!"

"115 million!"

"118 million!"

There was a pause in the bidding process, and everyone's face showed deep thought.

This price is already high enough. The normal market price is between 110 million and 120 million. It's not worth going any higher.

"Any higher bids?!" Feng Chaoyang's voice was excited: "118 million for the first time, 118 million for the second time, 118 million sold!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Hongsheng won the bid for the first Song Dynasty bronze paperweight.

Everyone here is in the industry, and many of them frequently attend Jiuding's auctions. They're all acquaintances, so they all turned around to offer their congratulations.

Zhou Hongsheng smiled and clasped his hands in response, then instructed the accountant next to him to begin transferring the funds.

Ding~!

Chen Huai'an's phone beeped; 118 million had been deposited into his account.

A smile played on his lips: "The famine is over!"
