The world's first village

Chapter 4 Commissioned Auction
The four of them tossed all the way, came back to rest after lunch, and Shi Lin borrowed his roommate's computer to look up relevant ginseng information.

Because all future plans need money to support, all my money is only about a thousand yuan, and I am so shy in my pocket, I am really helpless.

After some research, the identification of ginseng requires the identification of the "five shapes" and the "six bodies".

Make sure that the root you dug is wild ginseng. It stands to reason that the main body of wild ginseng is thin.

However, his wild ginseng is thicker and golden yellow, and its age is estimated to be thousands of years, which can only be estimated.

It is said that good wild ginseng also has the effect of "giving birth to bones and bringing people back to life".

At present, he is really short of money and time does not wait for me. Selling wild ginseng is also reasonable for others.

There are still six such ginseng plants in the space, and he doesn't dare to sell them all at once. Rare things are more expensive, so let's sell one first.

Although the space can be planted in large quantities, it cannot be sold casually if you own it casually. Such behavior is too stupid.

In addition, he also feels that these wild ginsengs are much stronger than the wild ginseng described, and their effects are not shocking, and they are sold only when they are forced to.

As Du Niang said, the price of pure Changbai Mountain wild ginseng ranges from several hundred yuan to several thousand yuan per gram, and the price of more than ten grams is usually tens of thousands of yuan.

As for garden ginseng and raw sun-dried ginseng, the price per kilogram is much lower, at 100-200 yuan per kilogram, the price difference is nearly a hundred times, and you really get what you pay for.

According to news reports, in February 2012, at the first auction of world-class ginseng in China, a 2-year-old Changbai Mountain wild ginseng was sold at a sky-high price of 325 million, with a dry weight of 1000 grams;
In May 2012, a certain ginseng in China sold 5 million ginseng for 30 grams of century-old wild ginseng.

Precious Chinese medicines are so expensive, let alone a few years have passed, people have become richer, and there is no shortage of so many local tyrants who are fond of collecting.

It is conceivable that if the mountain ginseng in Shilin is taken to the auction, it will cause something crazy.

Therefore, Shi Lin couldn't help exclaiming, thinking that no matter how rare ginseng is, there are only a few million. If you don't check the information, you really don't know.

Shi Lin didn't dare to take it to a pharmacy to sell it casually, even if it was a reputable pharmacy, the exposure rate was too high. Although he was not afraid of safety issues, he didn't want to cause trouble.

Besides, with such wealth, it is inevitable for people to be greedy in the face of such money. If you cheat you but don't take it by force, you are considered a good person of the other party.

why?How much can a pharmacy make?The medicines are all from the distributors, and there is not much cash to buy Shilin's wild ginseng.

It seems that we can only entrust a formal big auction company.

Of course, auction companies also have tricks. For example, those who charge before the auction are basically black companies, so he has to be careful.

Searching the world's famous auction companies, I often hear Sotheby's and Christie's auctions, but the headquarters of the two are in Hong Kong, and there is no branch in R City.

Well, Poly Auction, which ranks third, is also available. Copy down the address and phone number.

Shi Lin called the customer service number for consultation, confirmed the working time and address, secretly opened the box, carefully wrapped the wild ginseng inside with cotton cloth to prevent it from being scratched, and put it in the school bag.

Shi Lin said hello to his roommates and went out for business, so they might not have dinner together.

There are basically no classes in the second semester of senior year, not to mention that students who have classes skip classes.

I also heard that in a certain school, only the teachers came and none of the students came. This is a bit too much.

Graduates basically stay in the house to catch up on papers, but most of them play LOL.

……

Shi Lin put on his most valuable employment suit, left school, got in the car, and arrived at Poly Auction, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Hello, please ask your manager to come out and discuss the auction entrustment of the item."

Shi Lin walked towards the service counter of Poly Auction Company, full of courage, of course he didn't mention any goods to be auctioned, he wasn't that stupid.

Shi Lin pretended to be calm on the surface, he didn't want to show that he was a rookie.

"Hello, sir, do you have an appointment? If not, please register here."

The female customer service frowned slightly and looked at the very ordinary man in front of her. She felt a little childish, and somehow she had the confidence to ask their manager to come out to meet people, and the manager didn't meet everyone.

However, the customer service of the famous company still has professional quality, showing a professional smile and asking seriously.

Shi Lin dealt with the customer service beauty for a while, but the beauty was really helpless, so she made an internal call to report the situation.

After waiting for a while, a well-dressed, slightly fat man in his 40s came over and asked with a smile, "Sir, did you find me?"

"Could you go to another place to negotiate? Don't you just find a random place to negotiate with customers?"

Shi Lin pretended to be indifferent and replied, entering into the negotiation, act first and be tough, otherwise the weak will definitely suffer if they are bullied casually.

Confidence, indifference, and of course not domineering, Shi Lin also pretended not to be.

"Hehe, okay." The manager is also a fine person and often contacts with people. In this case, there are usually valuables auctioned and brought into the VIP living room next to him.

"Old Ginseng King, let's see how it goes. When is your latest auction held? How are you charged? Are there any discounts?"

Shi Lin took out the wild ginseng from his backpack, put it lightly on the guest table, spread out the cotton cloth, and asked several questions in succession.

Although he has checked the information from the Internet, he still has to shop around.

"Old Ginseng King? This, my God!...Rare! Rare!...Sir, please wait a moment, I have to ask our experts to come out and sign it, I can't come to a conclusion...Hey, Mr. Li, it's almost time for the third VIP living room, good stuff!
What?Oh, you will know when you come, you will be pleasantly surprised! "

The items that came into view made Manager Wang dumbfounded and admired in disbelief. As the manager of the auction house, he certainly knows about these precious medicinal materials. If he can get this rare wild ginseng to be auctioned in the Rongcheng branch, it will be of great significance to the development of the auction house. major.

"Brother, may I ask your surname? Solemnly introduce myself, the manager of the auction house, Wang Bin... Brother, do you want tea?"

Manager Wang smiled and handed over the business card. He was really smiling, and served the best quality tea enthusiastically.

"Manager Wang, you are welcome. My name is Shi Lin."

Shi Lin looked at the face of the businessman, although he didn't like this kind of person, but after all, he lowered his face and spoke politely, and he still had to give him face, after all, he still wanted to do business.

Three minutes later, the door opened, and an old man with half-gray hair walked in. His face was reddish, and he probably walked fast.

Although he looked a little old, he leaned forward and walked quickly.

But every step is sonorous and powerful, and the pace is relatively steady. His eyes have been sunken deeply, but they are still shining brightly. He can be seen as an old scholar.

"Xiao Wang, where are the things?" Mr. Li asked in confusion as soon as he stepped into the door.

"Old Li, this is Mr. Shi Lin Shi, who brought King Shen over to prepare for the auction;

Mr. Shi, this is a senior expert of our auction house. Mr. Li is a veteran in identifying ginseng. "Manager Wang solemnly introduced that he was also afraid that his business would be messed up.

After everyone exchanged a few polite words, Mr. Li couldn't wait to see the real thing.

Looking at the wild ginseng on the table, Mr. Li and Manager Wang had similar expressions when they saw the wild ginseng, but they were much more stable.

Find another thick cotton cloth, spread it out on the table, put on white gloves, carefully hold the wild ginseng in both hands, nod and put it down, looking a little puzzled...

About half an hour later, Mr. Li stopped signing, a little excited and exclaimed: "Mr. Shi, this is indeed wild ginseng for thousands of years, maybe it is even older, and I will count it in my life... hey!
May I ask how Mr. Shi got it?
Uh, don't get me wrong, I shouldn't ask this question, I'm just curious that there are rare species in this world.According to current records, it is really rare in thousands of years, and it is unheard of! "

"Expert Li, I dug this in a hidden old cave.

Manager Wang, when was the latest auction held?How to settle the transaction? "Shi Lin found a random reason and changed the subject.

Seeing that Shi Lin changed the subject, Mr. Li was too embarrassed to ask more questions.

"Mr. Shi, our Poly Auction House is the most reputable in the world. It is top-notch in the industry and has a large number of customer resources. According to international practice, for such items, we charge the consignor 5% of the auction transaction price commission, and we only charge you 4.5% Special offer.

We were planning to hold our summer auction in early June, and this wild ginseng is just in time.This period of time is also good for publicity, and there must be a good auction price. "

Manager Wang boasted about his various advantages, and he would feel more at ease if he signed the entrustment agreement earlier.

"Time is fine, but the 4.5% commission is too high. Since this wild ginseng is rare, it will be of great benefit to your company, up to 2%. Besides Sotheby's, Christie's has a bigger advantage than you,..."

Shi Lin didn't know how much was appropriate. After checking, Du Niang said that it should not exceed 5%, and one percentage point is a lot of money, so cut it sharply, and if it can be less, it can be less.

"It doesn't make sense, our publicity expenses are very high, at least 4%!..."

Manager Wang watched Shi Lin haggle fiercely, it was really not easy to fool around, but seeing that Shi Lin probably needed money urgently, he fought back anyway.

The two fought back and forth for a long time, like a war of the century, and finally settled at 3%.

After verification, Shi Lin signed a written "Consignment Auction Contract", which also stipulated that the identity of the consignor could not be disclosed.

Due to the urgent need for money, Shi Lin asked for an advance payment of 400 million yuan, which will be deducted after the auction is successful.

If the auction fails, the auction company is willing to buy it at a reserve price of no less than 1000 million. Of course, Shi Lin is willing to sell it.

Shi Lin couldn't help but exclaimed when the mobile phone signal reminded that the bank card received a prompt that started with 4 followed by a string of zeros.

Although I knew that wild ginseng was extremely valuable and there would be a huge sum of money after the auction was completed, I felt very relieved and refreshed when I actually received the money.

It was already 05:30 in the afternoon when Shi Lin left the auction company.

It's still early, and even at night, it's even more seductive, just right for consumption!

Shi Lin waved his fist, feeling extremely excited: Hey, 400 million, how to spend it? !
