Chapter 195 194. Change your destiny! Small auction?
Some people experience troughs, but through hard work they may get better.
However, after some people are at a trough, they never get out. They can only slowly look away from it and live a mediocre life from then on.
Zhang Zhiqiang has already looked away and is ready to live a life of mediocrity.
He is the same age as Jiang Chen, and he is just thirty years old this year!
But...
He has much richer experience than Jiang Chen.
After graduating from college, Jiang Chen went to Shanghai to work. Since then, he has lived a homebody life, bouncing between work and rented houses. He has never been in love, let alone started a family.
As for Zhang Zhiqiang, he got married at the age of 25, became a father at the age of 27, and then divorced at the age of 30. In order to obtain custody of his daughter, Zhang Zhiqiang almost left the house, only Some have given their entire wedding house to their ex-wives, and they and their daughters temporarily live in their parents' house, asking their parents to help look after their daughters, while they go out to work to make money.
Originally, Zhang Zhiqiang had already looked away. He had worked so hard to earn money, raised his daughter, and provided for his parents until they died. It was just like that. He got up early every day in the dark, and went home to look at his daughter. The smile is worth it.
Every day I drove an online car-hailing car around the streets of Chengdu, and listened to Jiang Chen's songs, but I had never watched Jiang Chen's live broadcast.
Because...
He doesn't have time.
Driving during the day to make money. When I got home at night, I was too tired to move. I ate and played with my daughter for a while before going to bed. I continued to go out to make money early the next morning.
Every day is simple and boring, with no big expectations.
However, this morning, he heard someone in the online car-hailing group say that Jiang Chen returned to Chengdu to draw a prize worth one billion.
Zhang Zhiqiang thought they were bragging, so he asked a few questions, and then searched online. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true. Only then did he realize that the songs he listened to every day were actually original songs by this anchor named Jiang Chen.
With great expectations to participate, Zhang Zhiqiang registered an account on Penguin Live, and then went home earlier than usual in the afternoon. As soon as he got home, he opened Jiang Chen's live broadcast room on his mobile phone to participate in the lottery. I just posted a barrage, and I won the prize.
Zhang Zhiqiang was in disbelief when he saw the picture posted by Han Qing on Weibo. After repeated confirmation, although he knew that it was indeed his ID, he still couldn't believe it.
It wasn’t until several calls came in, asking him to buy prizes, that he knew he had really won, otherwise others wouldn’t have gone to great lengths to get his contact information to buy prizes.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry to bother you. I know that you won a prize in Jiang Chen's live broadcast room, and you can get the original work of "Jian Jin Jiu" written by Jiang Chen. I want to buy your prize. People on the Internet say it is worth it. One billion prizes. I can give you one billion and buy it out directly. If you are willing, I will go to you to sign a contract now!”
“Mr. Zhang, are you selling your prizes?” It’s worth one billion. In fact, Jiang Chen’s work It’s worth more than one billion, I’m willing to pay 1.1 billion to buy it out.”
“Mr. Zhang, congratulations on winning the grand prize. Can you give me the price? Just give me a number. !”
……
Zhang Zhiqiang lay on the steering wheel and cried for a while, still thinking about the few phone calls he had just received, and then he received another call from Han Qing. He knew that he was Really hit the jackpot.
After wiping away his tears, Zhang Zhiqiang gathered his mood and continued driving.
“Ding…”
The phone rang.
Zhang Zhiqiang's body trembled instinctively, and he wanted to pick up his mobile phone to take the order.
This is the voice of the online ride-hailing platform dispatching a ride to him.
But...
As soon as he picked up the phone, Zhang Zhiqiang stopped his hand and smiled bitterly, knowing that he had developed a conditioned reflex.
Before, this voice meant that money had been made, and he was looking forward to receiving orders.
But now, he felt that the voice was familiar, but also far away.
That seems to be a thing of the past.
Zhang Zhiqiang put down his cell phone and continued driving to the hotel where Han Qing lived.
He has searched the hotel where Han Qing and Pu Yuexi live on the Internet.
Not far away, his cell phone rang again, it was an unfamiliar number.
Zhang Zhiqiang answered the call: "Hello!"
A calm voice came from the phone: "Hello, Mr. Zhang, congratulations on winning the prize. Are you willing to sell your prize? I know someone must have contacted you, but their price must not be as high as mine. I am willing to bid 1.5 billion to buy Jiang Chen’s authentic painting of Jiang Jin.”
Although Zhang Zhiqiang had already offered a price of one billion several times, but this time when he heard this person's bid of 1.5 billion, his hands trembled, he hurriedly stabilized his hands, drove steadily, and said: "Hello! In principle, I I want to sell this piece, but I won't make a hasty decision on the phone."
"I am now. After I go to receive the prize, I will wait there for an hour. After one hour, I will hold a small auction there, specifically for this authentic work of wine. Who of you wants to buy this work? Come and buy it on site!”
This is Zhang Zhiqiang’s unified answer to everyone who wants to buy Jiang Chen’s works.
He knows how to maximize profits, and that must be a public auction.
However, he couldn't wait for the auction house.
Generally, when an auction house wants to auction a piece of art, it will take a long time, ranging from a few months to a year and a half, which is normal. And that is only the auction time, and there will be a relatively long period of time for the auction house to pay the price. cycle, you have to wait longer to get money.
So many people who are in urgent need of money and have good things to sell, even if they know that they can sell for more at auction, would rather sell them to pawn shops at a low price. Even if the price is half lower than the previous auction, they still not give a damn about.
And Zhang Zhiqiang had just experienced a trough in his life, and he couldn't wait to get a large amount of cash to improve his life.
He wanted to stop driving people to earn money immediately, and no longer have to face all kinds of strange and unreasonable demands from all kinds of passengers.
So, he couldn't wait for ten days and a half, let alone a year and a half.
He wanted to get the money right away.
I want to sell it at a high price again!
Then he can only auction it by himself.
Call everyone who wants to buy it and auction it at Han Qing's hotel.
He didn't want to wait even one night.
When the person on the other side of the phone heard Zhang Zhiqiang's words, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go to the hotel to wait for you now."
Hang up the phone. Zhang Zhiqiang concentrated on driving with great energy. He didn't know how long it had been since he was so full of hope and motivation. The lonely dark night outside became more beautiful.
Buzz buzz...
The phone rang again, it was my father.
Zhang Zhiqiang answered the call immediately. He knew that his daughter probably missed him.
Sure enough, as soon as the call was connected, a crisp voice came out: "Dad, why did you come back and then leave suddenly? Have you eaten? Are you hungry? When you are tired, go home and rest. , go to work tomorrow.”
Hearing this, Zhang Zhiqiang wanted to cry again, and suppressed his emotions and said: "Tuan Tuan, dad suddenly has something to do and will go out for a while. He will be back later. Starting tomorrow, dad will not go to work and will be at home with Tuan Tuan every day."
Telephone transmission A voice of surprise: "Really? Dad? But if you don't go to work, you will have no money, and we will have no money to buy anything to eat. Tuantuan and grandpa picked up a few bottles today, which can be sold for money. Dad Rest at home and go out to make money.”
Wiping the tears that couldn't help falling from his eyes, Zhang Zhiqiang smiled and said: "No, Tuantuan, you tell your grandparents that they will no longer have to go out to pick up things and sell them for money. Dad won the lottery, and there are many, many Money.”
Tuantuan exclaimed again: "Wow, a lot of money? How much is that? Can you support me, my grandparents, and my father?"
Zhang Zhiqiang: "It's generous, of course it's generous!"
An old voice came from the phone: "Qiang, baby, come back when you are tired. Let's work hard to make money. Don't believe those things and don't be deceived."
Father is afraid of Zhang Zhiqiang. The jackpot is said to be a telecommunications fraud.
Zhang Zhiqiang said with certainty: "Dad, what I said is true. Don't tell anyone else. I will go to Chengdu to receive the award now and go back tomorrow. You and mom, pack your things tonight, and I will I’ll pick you up and move you there. We’ll move directly to the center of Chengdu. I’ll choose a location in the best school district and buy a big house, and you’ll live together.”
Zhang Zhiqiang has already planned his next life. Although he won the jackpot and can get at least one billion in cash at any time, he knows that for the rest of his life, he will still have to focus on his daughter and still have to revolve around her. It just so happened that her daughter arrived I am about to go to school. When I get the money, I can immediately buy a big house with the best school district. My parents can live in it and enjoy better retirement life, medical conditions, etc.!
As for yourself?
Zhang Zhiqiang has not thought about his own affairs yet.
The father's voice quickly came over the phone: "My son, don't talk nonsense, don't believe the lottery winning news. Wasn't your former classmate defrauded of more than 200,000 yuan."
Zhang Zhiqiang: "Dad, it's okay. I have no money and I was cheated. I will go and have a look. If there is a prize, I will take it. If you want me to make money, I will leave!"
His father was silent because he knew that Zhang Zhiqiang had almost no money in his card and spent all the money he earned every day at home. He really had no money to be deceived.
When Zhang Zhiqiang got married, the couple spent all their savings, bought a house with full payment, and gave them gifts. However, they got divorced within a few years. Now they have no money and were deceived.
There is nothing left for their family to be deceived about.
Tuantuan said to the phone: "Dad, please come back soon. If you don't come back, Tuantuan won't be able to sleep!"
Zhang Zhiqiang: "Okay, Tuantuan, I will go home early to accompany you. You sleep.”
Hang up the phone.
Zhang Zhiqiang was full of energy, and the previously dark and chaotic future suddenly became much clearer.
All the way!
Zhang Zhiqiang received more than a dozen calls one after another, all of which wanted to buy the authentic work of Jiang Chen called "Jianjinjiu". He still gave the same answer, saying that he would hold a small event after receiving the prize. At auction, the highest bidder wins.
An auction house also contacted him and wanted him to entrust this work to the auction house for auction, but Zhang Zhiqiang refused because he could not wait for the auction house to sell it.
However, there is an auction house that is willing to send an auctioneer to help Zhang Zhiqiang auction for free, without charging any fees, let alone any commission, just to earn a reputation, show his face in front of many top collectors, and gain a sense of presence. .
Zhang Zhiqiang agreed to this because he did not understand auctions. If there were professionals who were willing to help for free, of course he was willing to accept it.
Time flies by!
Zhang Zhiqiang quickly drove to a hotel in the city center, which was the hotel where Han Qing and Pu Yuexi lived.
And the place was already filled with all kinds of top luxury cars. Zhang Zhiqiang’s car had no place to park and could only park on the roadside. He is no longer afraid of traffic fines. Even if the car is towed away, he doesn't care anymore. He just wants to sell the things as soon as possible and get the money. As long as he gets the money, everything will be easy.
As soon as Zhang Zhiqiang came to the hall, he saw Han Qing, Yan Ruyu, Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia, Li Wen, and Wang Jing sitting not far away. He felt a sense of surprise. These people were much better than what he saw on the live broadcast screen. She is even better looking, especially Yan Ruyu, whose appearance is simply not what should appear in the human world.
Zhang Zhiqiang walked over quickly, but was stopped by two security guards.
“Hello, I’m here to receive the award!”
Zhang Zhiqiang said immediately.
The security guard was unmoved.
Because, just now, dozens of people said they wanted to come to claim the prize, but the identity verification information was incorrect. They all came to claim it falsely, and the police have been arrested.
So, there are police cars parked outside.
Han Qing waved her hand and said: "Come here to verify the information!"
She was already a little impatient. She didn't know whether everyone who came to receive the award was true or false, so she had to verify it. Information.
Zhang Zhiqiang quickly took out his mobile phone, his ID card, and even his household registration book, and said: "I still have my original intention. This is my account backend, and this is my real-name registration information. Also, my Call record, this is the call you made to me.”
Seeing so many proofs, Han Qing's eyes lit up and she became energetic, knowing that this must be true. She immediately asked Chen Xiaojia to help open the live broadcast on her mobile phone and give away the prizes in public to show openness, fairness and transparency!
As soon as the live broadcast room opened, more than four million viewers flooded in again, and then it continued to rise rapidly, reaching over ten million in the blink of an eye.
While verifying the information, Han Qing said to the live broadcast room: "Everyone, the winner is here. This is the verified information! I will send the prize to him right away. As for how he will deal with it, I will No matter.”
Confirmed the information, Han Qing handed Zhang Zhiqiang a contract, proving that he was the winner and got the prize. After signing, he could take it away, which proved the legality of the work. If he did not sell the work and kept collecting it, , this contract is the best proof that this work is authentic.
Zhang Zhiqiang is more cautious, although he knows that Jiang Chen and Han Qing will not deceive him due to their status. But he looked at it carefully before signing.
Signature completed!
The dozens of people sitting around quickly stood up, and everyone's face was full of anticipation. They had been waiting for this moment.
As long as Zhang Zhiqiang gets the prize, they will immediately come up to bid!
Under the gaze of everyone present and more than 10 million viewers in the live broadcast room, Han Qing opened her backpack.
