Chapter 1214: First visit
"The preparation work has been basically completed. I will check it tomorrow."
"What about manpower?"
"Construction is ready to start, and it will be open soon. All we need to do is prepare the treasures for the auction."
"Okay." Chen Qi said excitedly, "Master, I plan to go to the capital next week. Is it convenient?"
As an investor, it was inconvenient to ask the company's operator, which showed that Lin Ran's status was high in Chen Qi's heart.
Lin Ran looked at the opening time and found that next Saturday was an auspicious day.
I just don’t know when Yang Mingwei will be able to repair the ceramic shards.
But even if it is repaired, they will not be able to go to the ancient tomb for the time being.
The mountains should all be closed by then, if everything goes well.
You have to find a way to deal with Zongzi. Until then, it's not suitable to go to the tomb anymore.
It is better to take advantage of this time to deal with business matters while looking for ways to crack it.
In fact, a person who can help him has already appeared in his mind.
Lu Yingjie.
He is a descendant of the evil sect, and he should have some skills in dealing with dirty things.
Back to Chen Qi, Chen Qi was very happy knowing that the preparations were basically in place.
"If we are just short of auction items, I have recently acquired some treasures. Why don't I bring them to the auction? Just think of it as a blessing for our auction house. What do you think?"
"Of course that's the best."
"I will give all the money from this auction to the master. What do you think?" Chen Qi became more and more excited as he spoke.
He really didn't take these small amounts of money seriously.
If the market can be opened through this batch of treasures, it would be best to be on the news and be seen by people at home.
When the time comes, he can naturally inherit the family status. After all, he has independently developed the mainland market, something that none of his brothers and sisters have been able to do.
All this is thanks to Lin Ran.
I didn't express any gratitude to him before, but now that I have the opportunity, giving him all the auction money is actually a win-win situation.
If others can help you, that's a sign of love.
But this is not the case for people with large families.
Favor is the hardest debt to repay. If they still want to maintain a good relationship with Lin Ran, they must let Lin Ran know that what they pay will be rewarded.
Previously in Hong Kong City, he helped his family shine on TV, but before he had time to pay the other party a commission, he was in a hurry to return to the mainland.
Now that he is helping himself to open an auction house in the mainland, it would be unjustifiable if he doesn't give any indication.
Lin Ran actually didn't have much favorable impression of Chen Qi, she just felt that he was a little pitiful.
At times like this, Lin Ran certainly wouldn't mind if he could make a fortune from him.
And he didn't know what cultural relics he would bring over. If they were not worth anything, Lin Ran would have to arrange for people to auction them, and he might even lose money.
Lin Ran said: "Okay, let's set the first auction for next week."
Lin Ran planned to wait for him to bring the cultural relics and then identify them himself.
After all, some things in Hong Kong are different from those in the mainland. Some cultural relics are not allowed to be sold. In addition, you must also check the authenticity and price.
The people who come to the auction are all big guys, and no one wants to buy something that can be bought on the market.
The degree of cherishment must be guaranteed.
Big bosses also want to make money through auctions, so prices must also be guaranteed.
To sum up, not all items are worthy of being auctioned.
Others in the auction house must not dare to point fingers at Chen Qi. Only Lin Ran can give opinions from a relatively objective perspective.
"Okay, master, I look forward to meeting you soon." Chen Qi hung up the phone.
The next day, Lin Ran arrived at the auction house.
In fact, most of the equipment and decoration of Zulong Auction House are ready-made and were modified from the original auction house.
However, some personalized adjustments were made and the auction house was renamed.
When people passing by saw the auction house, most showed no interest.
Because some places are specifically targeted at high-end people.
For ordinary people, their only impression of an auction house is that the items inside are extremely expensive and you have to bid for them.
Most people are not qualified to participate and do not understand why so many people like to enter the auction house.
They would rather spend time drinking tea in Shengshi Craftsmanship, and don't understand why some people are willing to spend hundreds or even thousands to buy old things from others at auction houses.
This is all because they are still outsiders.
In fact, they were also Lin Ran's targets.
Before the advent of Shengshi Craftsmanship, antiques were also a niche hobby, and only some people in the industry would resell them back and forth.
The development speed is very fast, but most people just wait and watch, or sell their own things, and the actual number of participants has not increased much.
Lin Ran plans to turn Zulong Auction House into a specialty auction house.
It not only auctions priceless cultural relics, but also organizes some activities, such as art training for students and simulated auctions with them.
The younger generation is Lin Ran's most important goal.
Successful businessmen often focus on untapped markets.
Only short-sighted businessmen would think of competing for other people's resources.
Lin Ran had never thought about poaching other auction house customers. He planned to rely on his own strength to steadily build up the auction house's reputation, and then develop these people into his own customers.
Walking into the auction house, the little girl whom I had met in the hotel before was standing at the front desk.
Seeing Lin Ran, he immediately nodded and bent down: "Mr. Lin, you are here!"
Lin Ran nodded slightly and asked, "Where is Wu Ning's office?"
After getting directions, Lin Ran walked towards his office.
At this time, other staff members gathered around.
"Jiang Huimin, is he our boss?"
"So young. I thought I came here to watch the fun."
"Are you kidding us? The boss is so young, he doesn't look 20 years old."
Jiang Huimin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she thought of what happened in the hotel.
"He is our boss." She glanced away directly, not intending to continue the topic.
But the girls around me didn’t think so.
"You are so young, and I feel quite handsome. It would be great if you could like me."
"Come on, you're so skinny. Looking at Jiang Huimin, you probably won't be able to bear it."
Jiang Huimin quickly waved her hand, "You are kidding, don't drag me along."
"Haha, you're still blushing."
Jiang Huimin couldn't sit still anymore, picked up the folder and left.
She did feel a little embarrassed, mainly because she had misjudged the wrong person. It was good that the boss didn't blame her.
Arriving at Wu Ning's office, he was sitting there reading the newspaper.
When he saw Lin Ran coming in, he immediately stood up.
"Boss Lin!"
