My life has subtitles

Chapter 193 I’ll give it a try

"Have you seen it before?"

After hearing this, everyone, including Tony Laoshi, was a little confused.

what is this?

Is it more valuable than the [jade carved handle covered with gold scabbard] dagger used by Emperor Qianlong?
  If you have seen it, tonight’s auction site is also the penultimate lot. It is also the private seal of Qianlong’s [Self-improvement], which can barely be compared with it.

But to say that it is still valuable is obviously not tenable.

Moreover.

That private seal has been photographed by someone else.

It’s not his either!

Immediately.

Everyone's curiosity became even more intense.

of course.

There are also thoughtful guests, as well as Yang Chen's old acquaintances and friends, who have already vaguely guessed a little bit.

But I couldn’t believe it.

impossible!

How could that thing be more valuable than the [Jade Carved Handle and Gold Sheath] dagger used by Queen Long?
  "Oh?"

"Excuse me, what is it?"

On the stage.

Tony asked impatiently.

heard.

Yang Chen smiled.

no answer.

It's sold out.

He just said that the answer would be revealed later.

Before revealing the answer, I hope Christie's will cooperate with him and complete one thing first - complete the delivery of tonight's Lot 1 [Yellow Satin Kasaya from the Late Qing Dynasty].

Follow normal procedures.

The delivery of the auction items can only be carried out after the auction is over, the buyer has paid the money, and signed the relevant contract.

of course.

It’s not impossible to do it in advance.

That requires both parties to be fully prepared.

For example, the buyer is ready to pay.

Another example is that the auction house has prepared relevant contracts and so on.

Under normal circumstances, neither party will be in a hurry at this moment.

However, if there is such a demand, as long as the money is available, it will not be a problem for the organizers.

Moreover.

Now Yang Chen is providing help in times of need.

For Tony Laoshi, it is to save the day!
  So after hearing Yang Chen's request, Mr. Tony immediately called over the staff related to the delivery, such as finance, legal advisors, etc.

The delivery of [Yellow Satin Kasaya from the Late Qing Dynasty] was taking place right at the auction site.

The hammer price of this [late Qing Dynasty yellow satin cassock] is 302 million.

The commission ratio for antique auctions is generally charged in inverse proportion to the reserve price or estimated price of the auction item.

For example, the cheaper the appraisal price, the higher the ratio.

The more expensive it is, the lower it is.

For example, the Qianlong imperial dagger commissioned by Yang Chen and valued at tens of millions has a ratio of just 1 point.

Generally, the ratio is between 5 points and 10 points.

The highest one, for example, how much or less the assessed price is, can reach 20 points.

As for this [late Qing Dynasty yellow satin cassock], the reserve price is 10, and Christie's appraisal price is also around 10, so the commission ratio is 10 points.

Charged in both directions.

That is to say.

Just the commission for this ‘rag’.

The client wants to charge 10 points, more than 30 yuan.

If the buyer charges another 10 points, it will still be more than 30.

A total of more than 60.

Earning this money is indeed quite ‘touching’
  The seller, who is also the client, was charged a commission of more than 30 yuan. He will definitely feel that it was worth the money.

Why?

The reserve price of this rag is only 10 yuan.

After being manipulated by Christie's, the final hammer price reached more than 300 million, which was a full 30 times higher than his psychological expectations. Paying a commission of 30 would definitely be nothing to say.

The buyer, that is, the buyer, is somewhat unhappy.

But bidding.

The rules of the game are like this.

If you want to come in and play, you must abide by the rules of the game. so.

Yang Chen's final transaction price was more than 330 million.

However, because of Yang Chen's help in times of need, the trendy old man Tony, the president of Christie's Asia Pacific, waved his hand and said very generously that he would be exempted from commission.

Pay and deliver according to the hammer price.

heard.

Yang Chen smiled.

But he declined his kindness.

It's just a commission of 30 yuan, nothing.

The real big deal is what he is going to present next, which is an additional auction item that is even more valuable than the latest finale item.

You need to waive the commission. Only if you waive the commission for that auction item can you be sincere.

after all.

In order to keep the guests present tonight, to heat up the atmosphere, and to save the situation, you keep saying that the additional auction items will not require commission from the recipient.

That being the case.

Of course I want to take advantage of this benefit.

Well, I won't go in.
  Yang Chen explained this meaning.

Tony looked embarrassed.

If the auction item Yang Chen temporarily entrusted was really more valuable than the dagger, then the commission would not be just a little bit, it would be at least tens of millions!

Although he is the president of the Asia-Pacific region, he is not big enough to talk about tens of millions of commissions or the right to waive it off.

see.

Yang Chen didn't talk nonsense either.

If Teacher Tony doesn't show any sincerity in saying that he helped him out in times of need, then there is no need for him to add additional auction items at the last minute.

heard.

Tony gritted his teeth and spoke in broken Mandarin.

Then he turned around and made a phone call.

moment.

Tony Laoshi came back and said that after communicating with the headquarters, he agreed to waive his commission.

Only then did Yang Chen nodded in satisfaction.

Swipe.

More than 330 million.

The transaction price for [Yellow Satin Kasaya from the Late Qing Dynasty] has arrived.

After signing a series of contracts and agreements, President Tony personally handed the dirty-looking 'rag' to Yang Chen in front of all the guests.

"Mr. Tony, is this 'rag' not dirt?"

Taking the yellow satin cassock with both hands, Yang Chen finally felt at ease. At this time, he looked at Qi Yuan in the VIP booth and joked.

heard.

Tony Laoshi said very seriously: "For this Lot 1, we have legal procedures and complete provenance, and the consignor has also provided relevant certificates."

"So please be at ease, Mr. Yang."

Yang Chen smiled.

Nod.

He was actually just joking.

Naturally, it is reassuring.

But the guests in the audience all knew who he was teasing.

So they all cast teasing glances at Qi Yuan.

see.

Qi Yuan smiled indifferently, and even waved towards Yang Chen, looking disapproving.

Yang Chen also waved to him.

Even responded with a friendly smile.

This made Qi Yuan feel a little inexplicably uneasy.

What is this guy laughing at?

What are you laughing at?
  Yang Chen sneered in his heart.

You care so much about your ancestor, Emperor Qianlong, hehe, you will cry later.
  "Okay, Mr. Yang, according to your request, we have delivered the No. 1 auction item to you. Now, it is time to reveal the answer."

On the auction stage.

Teacher Tony, like all the guests present, had a feeling of hopelessness and impatience.

Is it more valuable than Qianlong's [jade-carved handle covered with gold scabbard] dagger?
  If a stranger or an unknown insider said this, everyone might just take it as a joke and listen to it.

But when Yang Chen said this, especially since he was the client of the [Jade Carved Handle and Gold Sheath] dagger, the curiosity and expectations of everyone present were aroused by him.

and so.

When Tony asked this question.

All the guests present opened their eyes and ears, waiting for the answer to be revealed.
