Chapter 1688: Turning the tide
Boss Meng said with a heart: "Okay, Manager Wu, for your sake today, I will ask Manager Xu to bring the things over now!"
When he said this, you could still vaguely hear the sound of his teeth gritting.
Wu Ning actually didn't understand. If he knew that Boss Meng was this kind of person, he would definitely not discuss cooperation with him.
"Let's not be in a hurry. Boss Meng has said so. Let's just wait and see the goods before we talk." Lin Ran said calmly.
He had his own plans in mind, so he was naturally not in a hurry.
If Boss Meng drives them away directly, the cooperation will be completely dead. It will be a huge loss to Boss Meng, but it will not have much impact on their auction house.
The worst case scenario is to find another antique store to cooperate with. There are so many merchants who want to cooperate with them on Panjiayuan Antique Street that they don't care about Boss Meng and his family at all.
He had already given Boss Meng a step down, and only then did Boss Meng think of asking Manager Xu to bring what he had in his hand.
In fact, there is no genuine product in his hand. The so-called treasure of their store is just something he made up casually. If he really had such a treasure, he would never sell it to customers.
Now all the troublesome problems are on Boss Meng.
They sat calmly in the living room, drinking tea and waiting for Manager Xu to return.
Wu Ning was okay. After all, he was the manager of the auction house and it was natural for him to help Lin Ran, so he had no complaints about waiting for him here.
But Yuan Qianyun is different.
She hasn't bought a birthday gift for her grandfather yet, and she can't help but feel a little anxious when she thinks that her hands are empty.
"Lin Ran, have you forgotten the purpose of our coming here?" Yuan Qianyun said.
If he wanted to buy something for himself, Lin Ran might really forget about it.
But of course he takes Yuan Qianyun's matter a thousand times more seriously.
"Qianyun, don't worry, I will always remember it."
"Then why are you still sitting here?" Yuan Qianyun didn't understand, fearing that Lin Ran had forgotten what he wanted to buy.
"Don't worry, there's something good here. You'll know it soon."
After spending nearly half a year together, Yuan Qianyun had a general understanding of Lin Ran's temper.
He said no problem, he must be confident.
"Okay, let's sit there for a while." Yuan Qianyun thought that although he knew that Lin Ran had a plan in mind, he was always like a riddle man and did not tell the answer directly. Sometimes he was easily annoyed by him.
But then I thought about it, grandpa’s birthday is also next week.
They still have about a week to prepare, so there is actually no need to rush.
He simply sat down quietly and drank tea with them.
After Boss Meng arranged things, he returned to his seat without any hesitation.
You could see some cold sweat on his forehead, but of course he would not admit that he was scared. Instead, he pretended to be calm and said: "Okay, I have informed Manager Xu to go home and bring the real product. You guys Wait a moment."
Wu Ning didn't have a good face. Just now this man actually kicked his boss out.
Fortunately, Mr. Lin is easy to talk to. If it were the boss of another company, he would not give the customer the opportunity and drive them away directly.
He was too lazy to talk to Boss Meng because he felt that Lin Ran had already seen through that he was selling fakes and he definitely didn't have anything valuable in his hands.
If they really put the fakes at auction, not to mention not making any money, even if they are sold, the customers will hate them for the rest of their lives.
It is impossible.
Boss Meng actually plotted against his own auction house. He must find a way to settle this account clearly.
However, now Lin Ran gave him a chance.
And seeing that Boss Meng persuaded them to drink tea and wait, they calmed down.
After a while, Boss Meng left the table for a while. When he came back, there were more beads of sweat on his head.
"Boss Meng, are you in the sauna?" Lin Ran joked.
"Where? There was something going on in the store just now, and I was busy." Boss Meng is obviously a very good liar, and there is no ambiguity in his excuses.
"That's it, boss, if you have something to do in the store, you might as well go and do some work first, and we can just sit by ourselves." Lin Ran smiled.
Boss Meng originally wanted to hear this, so he immediately stood up and said, "How can this be so embarrassing? But Mr. Lin, Manager Wu, I do have a lot of things to do right now. That genuine item, Manager Xu also I don’t know if I took it home or sold it secretly. I probably won’t be able to get it back for a while, otherwise you see it like this..."
"It's okay, you're busy with your business. We have plenty of time today, just sit back and wait." Lin Ran didn't give Boss Meng a chance to get away from him.
He can drink tea and wait slowly.
When Boss Meng heard this, his expression also changed.
He has said all the good things and good things to say.
If Lin Ran and the others were willing to give themselves a chance, the auction house's commission could be directly given to four points.
According to the market price, the current commission is only three points.
Wu Ning slapped the table: "Did you turn a deaf ear to what I just said?"
He was furious because Boss Meng said that Jinan, the treasure of the store, was a fake.
If an auction house lists fake goods, the impact on its business will be self-evident.
I didn't expect that Boss Meng would be so shameless, and even said that he would increase the share with them, and treat their auction house as a scam company?
Boss Meng immediately apologized and explained in good words.
Finally, Wu Ning was persuaded. Wu Ning was still drinking tea angrily beside him, while Boss Meng stood beside him with a smiling face.
"Okay, okay, if you have anything to do, go ahead and get busy." Lin Ran felt funny when he saw him like this, but it was inconvenient, so he expressed it directly.
In fact, Boss Meng had nothing to do in the afternoon. He originally planned to set aside time to discuss business with Wu Ning today, hoping to reduce the points as much as possible.
I didn't expect that when I encountered this incident, I was really kicked to the iron plate.
Boss Meng's head has been sweating because Manager Xu told him that he couldn't find a genuine product in the market.
Originally, porcelain from the official kilns of the Southern Song Dynasty was extremely precious. Where were they going to find it for a while?
They could only find high imitations, but Lin Ran was not an outsider, and in industry terms, he was very professional.
If you bring over high-quality imitations, the business will be completely ruined. Moreover, Lin Ran seems to have a deep relationship with the Chamber of Commerce. Zheng Xueming has frequent contacts with him. If he really offends Lin Ran, I'm afraid his shop will be in trouble. This street can no longer be opened.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Boss Meng had just called in the salesperson who had received Lin Ran, criticized him and then fired him.
He thought it was this sale that got him into big trouble.
