Chapter 8 Trading
Chapter 8. Trading
Thinking of this, more information flooded out of my mind.

But this time it's not a rumor, but some fragmented data flashing in the system.

This He family was established with a reputation for books and never involved in business. However, it has great power in Nanling's municipal and religious circles. The family is also quite good at collecting, and many collections have been included in the system.

This "Tanzhou Chronicles" itself is not of high value, but it was in the next three years that the He family finally found this ancient book.

Succession can be continued to make up for shortcomings.

Jinshi He's family has become famous since then, becoming the cultural business card of Nanling City and even Jiangning Province...

Picking up the "Tanzhou Chronicle" from the pile of books on the ground, Ren Ping couldn't help trembling his hands slightly.

After flipping through it several times in a row, I found that sentence in the corner of the old and yellow pages:

"In the 35th year of Qianlong's reign, He's bequeathed son presented Ming as the number one scholar in the imperial examination. He was commended and given a special reward, but died on the way, with no results..."

"After research, the cause is unknown. Is it a disease? Is it a robbery? Is it embarrassment?"

"...Si people don't belong to the clan, don't marry a wife, and don't have close friends in the same year. It's a pity..."

It seems that this descendant of the He family was named He Xianming. Although he won the first prize, he died unexpectedly on the way.

No wife, no friends, no idea how he died.

And it seems to be an illegitimate child who was left outside, no wonder even the He family couldn't find it.

"Three years later, I don't know how the He family got this book, but now that I bumped into it..."

Ren Ping lowered his head and pondered, thinking about something.

"Drunkard, check for me, does this book have the original owner?"

"This one? Oh, I have the impression that the Tibetan owner has lost contact and has never paid the agency fee. According to the agreement, it is already owned by our friend."

"Um……"

"Don't look, it's important, follow me to see the old man first."

At this moment, Young Master Kang from Jiaqiao's trip had already left, and before he left, he had another verbal fight with Wu Zui.

Of course Wu Zui didn't lose, but with a suffocation in his heart, he dragged Ren Ping straight into the third floor of Yousheng Building, where his father Wu Yousheng's office was.

Facing a meal of rage:
"Dad! I want to invite more people to the special session the day after tomorrow to make the venue bigger. No matter what, the turnover should reach more than 1000 million!"

Sitting in the office was a lean and capable middle-aged man in his 50s, with a serious expression and calm eyes, so he was naturally Wu's father, Wu Yousheng.

Different from Wu Zui, his father is more tempered in his actions, has little knowledge, and never acts impulsively. It can be seen that he is used to working hard in the business world.

Ren Ping had seen it before, but he didn't think much of it, but after the accident at home, he saw it again, and he felt it more deeply. Intuitively, he was a bit similar to Shen Yicheng who he met yesterday, but he was a little older.

"Why are you so nervous? Isn't the list already fixed? How can we invite you at this time?"

"No matter who it is, please give it a try. In short, we can't lose to Jiaqiao again this time!"

"Jia Qiao?"

Wu Zui immediately told about Kang Shao's provocative words just now:
"Dad! Jiaqiao clearly suppressed us. In the past few special performances, we set the beginning of the month, they set the middle of the month, and we set the middle of the month, they set the end of the month, and the scenes overwhelmed us every time, as if it was calculated. "

"If this continues, our Yousheng show will soon become his Jiaqiao's appetizer! I don't care! This time you can bear it, but I can't bear it. We must make it happen!"

"Otherwise, believe it or not, in less than ten days, Jiaqiaohang's special show will come and slap us in the face!"

Without the presence of outsiders, naturally there is no need to hold back the fire.

Wu Zui poured out all the unhappiness in his heart in one breath, and he was exactly like two people when he calmly dealt with Young Master Kang just now. Those who are familiar with him know that the latter is his true temperament.

"Jiaqiao is a big business, and its strength is much stronger than ours. How do you compare with them?"

Wu Yousheng still had an expression of "whoever you love is in a hurry, anyway, I'm not in a hurry", and said unhurriedly:

"Furthermore, what's the use of making the venue bigger? Do you have hard goods that you can sell? If not, no matter how many people come, wouldn't it still be a joke for people?"

"But--"

"Okay, put aside Jia Qiao's matter, the little bottle is here?"

Wu Yousheng cut off his son's entanglement with one word, and nodded to Ren Ping, whom he had met before.

Wu Zui recalled the purpose of Ren Ping's trip and prioritized everything, so he stopped talking and asked someone to lift the two wooden boxes Ren Ping brought up.

One of these two boxes is a blue and white bowl imitating the Ming Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty, and the other is a modern and retro splash-ink landscape, both of which are exhibits of Renrenzhai.

However, one of them survives more, and the other has no seal and signature, and the original owner is unknown. Therefore, although the quality is high, the valuation is not high, and it is suitable for personal hobbies.

Sure enough, after Wu Yousheng played with it, his face remained expressionless.

After a pause, he opened his mouth and said:

"To be honest, these two items are not very easy to sell. We Yousheng can collect them, but I'm afraid they won't be able to take them out in a short time. You saw them just now. There is a high probability that they will be put into the warehouse..."

"Dad! I had a game with the bottle classmate—"

"Don't talk about anything else,"

Wu Yousheng waved his hand to interrupt his son's words and looked at Ren Ping:

"Even if you sell it, I think you should have a bottom line in your heart, and you won't be able to sell it at a high price,"

"So, if you're just selling these two items for fun, you can keep them. Anyway, Wu Zui will notify you at any time when you sell them. Based on the friendship between the two of you, it's fine to keep them until any time."

"If you want to use this to repay your debts, or even save your Lao Tzu's Ren's wood industry, then it will be a drop in the bucket,"

"And let me advise you, those things about your father are over, and even the others have left, so what's the problem? There are many people who renege on their debts. There is no such thing as father's debt repayment these days. Everything is based on the law. What are you doing with this dead end?"

As expected of a veteran in the mall, not only did he know everything about Ren's Wood Industry like the palm of his hand, but he also knew exactly what Ren Ping was thinking right now.

Wu Zui's face was livid, and he wanted to take the opportunity to help his old classmate, but he didn't think that his father was talking about business, and he didn't spare any sympathy.

Zhengjue was extremely unpleasant, and when he turned his head, Ren Ping looked as usual, and he didn't seem to be disappointed at all.

"Uncle Wu, you are right,"

I saw him smiled and said:
"With these two things alone, nothing can be done, so... I want to make a deal with you?"

"What deal?"

"Since I brought these two things, I'll put them here as a small gift from the younger generation—"

"What did you say?" Wu Zui was taken aback.

Even Wu Yousheng couldn't help being surprised, because he thought that these two things should be very important to the current Ren Ping, otherwise why did you come to Yousheng on purpose?
"What about the conditions?"

"I want to participate in Youshenghang's special auction the day after tomorrow, and I support Jiugui. I will try my best to increase the turnover of this sale and try to beat Jiaqiaohang."

Wu Yousheng couldn't help being happy: "Why do you?"

"Not by me, but by your friends, you can do yourself better,"

Ren Ping paused and said:

"You have been in this business for so many years, you should know that some things can't be sold at a good price, not because the things are bad, but because everyone doesn't know the goods, including the seller."

"Among them, some misread the authenticity, some dated the wrong age, and some couldn't distinguish the appearance, craftsmanship, technique, etc.,"

"But there is actually another kind of the most common one, which is - selling to the wrong person!"

"Go ahead." Wu Yousheng raised his eyebrows.

"Cultural relics and antiques are not common goods. Everything has the most suitable owner. There are not only the value of the cultural relics themselves, but also the emphasis on rare things, but there is another point that is easy to overlook, which is personal emotional attachment. "

"Only by finding the right buyer can we get the highest price and profit,"

"Uncle Wu, you should have a deep understanding of this, otherwise... no matter how good things are, they may only be put in the warehouse."

Seeming to be touched by Ren Ping's words, Wu Yousheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and was a little distracted.

Ren Ping stopped abruptly, and glanced at Wu Zui who didn't know why:

"I will select five items from Youshenghang's inventory, write the materials, hand them over to the auctioneer, and provide on-site assistance, and then ask Wu Zui to help me invite a few people to the scene,"

"I'm sure, as long as everyone who can come the day after tomorrow comes, the transaction price of these five items will definitely be higher than your estimate,"

"As for the content of the transaction: If the price is high, I want [-]% of the auction price of these five items!"
