Chapter 715 Lin Ran’s Work
The decoration of this auction house is very simple, continuing the style of the flower and bird market. From the outside, it looks like the wing of a wealthy family in ancient times. There are stone lions and a large number of potted plants at the door. When you walk into the auction house, you will be greeted by the scent of sandalwood. .
Qian Xiaoyong brought Lin Ran to the general manager's office. The general manager who was processing documents immediately stood up when he saw Yuan Jiahao and said respectfully: "Mr. Qian, are you here for anything?"
"It's okay, I'll come over and take a look. I'll leave soon." He smiled and pushed Lin Ran to the desk. "This is a newcomer who came to Ankang Jewelry for an interview. I think he is very suitable for the auction house, so I gave him Brought it."
"Oh." The manager looked Lin Ran up and down. After all, he was brought here by the boss. Of course he had to give him face. He said with a smile: "This brother, have you ever worked in an auction house before?"
"No." Lin Ran answered truthfully.
Qian Xiaoyong saw that the handover was completed and said with a smile: "Then I will go back to Ankang Jewelry first, and I will leave the rest to you."
"Yes." The manager agreed.
Lin Ran thought to himself that Qian Xiaoyong was quite generous. If it were someone from another auction house, they would have driven him away after just dealing with it, and they would not have arranged Lin Ran to his own shop.
Since he was brought by the boss, Lin Ran did not need to be interviewed. After a brief chat about the work process, he was taken to the afternoon meeting.
This was Lin Ran's first formal meeting at the auction house.
At the meeting, Lin Ran actually saw the auctioneer who was wearing a cheongsam last time, but today she was wearing a formal suit and her expression looked a little serious.
"Let me introduce to you, this is the new intern employee, his name is..." The manager then remembered that he hadn't asked Lin Ran's name yet.
"My name is Lin Xi." Lin Ran made up a name casually.
The people attending the meeting were all auction managers, and they even brought an intern.
They looked at Lin Ran for a while, and the auctioneer asked with a smile, "What kind of work do you do?"
"I don't know. Boss Qian asked me to come here. Just arrange whatever work you think I can do, right?" Lin Ran said calmly.
"We don't even know what you are capable of." A man with a mustache said disdainfully, "Mr. Money is really messy. Everyone puts money into our auction house. Do you think we are a collector of rags?"
"You'd better say less. Manager Wu has no objection." Another fat man said.
"Okay, everyone, stop arguing. Chen Jiajia, please take him to understand the process later. Let's start today's meeting." Manager Wu stopped them from continuing to make noise.
The theme of their meeting this time was to organize the next auction.
It happened to be what Lin Ran wanted to know. Their meeting was relatively formal, and work was arranged in order according to each charter.
This includes receiving cultural relics, conducting appraisals and valuations, arranging security companies, sending invitations, and finally holding a formal auction.
Lin Ran kept everything in mind. The process was similar to what he imagined. What he wanted to learn was how to arrange each step.
He also admired Qian Xiaoyong's generosity and generosity in his heart. He actually allowed a competitor to attend such an important meeting.
With this kind of mind, Lin Ran felt that he must make friends with him in the future.
In addition, these people here have solid professional knowledge, and they look like an alliance of managers.
They have been in this industry for five or six years, and they have transformed from ignorance into a professional management team.
"Sir Yang Shiqi will participate in this auction, so our security work needs to be foolproof."
Lin Ran was reading the "Articles of Association of Yongtai Auction House". When he heard Sir Yang Shiqi's name, he couldn't help but raise his head.
"Is there still a knighthood in China?" he asked curiously.
Everyone at the conference table laughed.
"It's rare but strange. In the port city, there are too many jazzmen." Mustache said dissatisfied, because this boring question interrupted the meeting, which made him very dissatisfied.
It turned out to be a businessman from the port city. It had just opened up in the past few years, and there were quite a lot of businessmen from the port city coming to the mainland.
However, in Lin Ran's impression, the title of knight would not be awarded to Chinese people.
"But doesn't it say in our procedures that we don't accept foreign customers?" Lin Ran asked.
Most of the items they auctioned this time were cultural relics from the Qing Imperial Palace.
According to the current cultural relics management regulations, they are not allowed to be sold to foreigners.
"Okay, I'll explain to you later. Let's finish the meeting first." Chen Jiajia smiled. It seemed that she had a high status in the team. As soon as she spoke, the atmosphere in the meeting became serious again.
Soon, the organizational meeting before the auction ended.
Chen Jiajia held the folder and said to Lin Ran: "Intern, come with me."
"Oh." Lin Ran picked up the charter and followed her quickly.
When I came to her office, she was not too polite because she was an employee.
Instead, he gestured to him to sit at the desk and explained: "You are new here, so I will make an exception and explain it to you. Our auction house has been able to persist until now because we are doing foreigners' business."
Lin Ran was a little surprised that she was so direct.
Lin Ran pretended to hesitate and said, "But isn't China now not allowed to sell cultural relics to foreigners?"
"Sir Yang Shiqi is British, but he also has another identity, a Hong Kong citizen, so he is qualified to participate in the auction." Chen Jiajia explained, "You are a newcomer. Don't ask too much about things in the company in the future. As long as you are doing Just live."
With that said, she threw a stack of information to Lin Ran.
"These are cultural relics to be received. You and Wang Dong will go to the warehouse together later and write down what he says."
"Okay." Lin Ran finally understood. It turned out that the auction house was still doing its original business.
He was even more confused, what happened to Qian Xiaoyong?
Knowing that what he was doing was just a side project, he actually arranged for him to work in the auction house.
Are you really not afraid that he will tell the truth? Or is it that he doesn't know about it at all?
Lin Ran took the documents and left Chen Jiajia's office. The fat man from before was waiting at the door.
Seeing him come out, she said in a cold tone: "Newcomer, what did Sister Jia tell you?"
"I didn't say anything. I just asked Wang Dong and me to go to the warehouse to check the cultural relics." Lin Ran pretended to be shy.
"That's good. I would like to advise you, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask when working in our auction house." The fat man turned and left. When passing by the corridor, he knocked on a table and saw an old man who was reading a newspaper. He raised his head.
"Wang Dong, you bring the newcomer to identify the cultural relics." His tone was full of irresistibility, and then he turned and left without waiting for the other party to answer.
Wang Dong put down the newspaper, adjusted his reading glasses, and stood up.
