Chapter 315 Auction
At the same time that Zhou Zhi, Jiang Shuyi and old friends from No. 7 Middle School were meeting, Jiang Wu and Tang Qi were already sitting in the VIP room on the second floor of Gongmei Mall.
Jiang Wu did not wear a military uniform, but put on a suit. Tang Qi wore a light green duck down jacket. One was handsome and the other beautiful, which attracted the attention of many guests.
On the table in front of the two of them, there is a printed introduction to the auction, and at the end of the printed matter, there is a line of words that is obviously stamped - the finale of the mysterious auction, you will not be disappointed.
The auction was hosted by Manager Fei personally. All the telephones in Gongmei were wired and brought here, and arranged into seats for eight telephone agents.
There is also a nameplate in front of each agent's seat with the name of the agent or agency.
In addition, there are several pagers placed on each agent's desk. The client's simple instructions can be expressed through the exclusive paging device.
This is an upgraded version that Manager Fei negotiated with several agents after receiving thoughtful reminders.
The stamp auctions at the beginning were all less precious items, including Zhou Zhi's writing stamps and Lao Jite, which were seventy or eighty, or one or two hundred sets.
The first auction peak came from a set of 15 special attractions in the capital. There are five stamps in this set, namely the Summer Palace, Beihai, Tiananmen, Temple of Heaven, and Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The reason why it is very precious is because at that time, someone raised objections to the "Tiananmen" leaflet, believing that the direct light formed by the auspicious clouds above the ticket sample lacked a peaceful atmosphere. The "Tiananmen Shines Light" leaflet was eventually withdrawn by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. Only seven or eight hundred pieces were released.
Everything else is worthless, all buyers are here for this ticket.
“Agent No. 5, the client of Xingcai Company bid 50,000, 50,000. Agent No. 6, Mr. Zhang’s client bid 55,000, 55,000. The gentleman on the scene bid 60,000, 60,000. , the customer of No. 1 Longsheng Antique Shop was 70,000 yuan! 80,000 yuan! The customer of No. 3 Jinjiang Finance Company bid 100,000 yuan, which was more than double the reserve price! Price: 100,000, 110,000 on site! 115,000, 120,000! The client of Agent No. 6 bids 150,000 for the first time, and 150,000 for the second time. Congratulations to Mr. Zhang, the client on the 6th, for closing the deal for 150,000 yuan!”
“Wow—” there was an exclamation in the auction hall, followed by warm applause.
This auction of Gongmei has achieved very good results so far. Manager Fei is extremely grateful for Zhou Zhi at this moment.
Those mysterious big customers are hidden underwater in this way, and you don’t even know where they are in the country. By communicating with the agent on the phone, you can know the general condition of the lot and the auction situation, and then send instructions over the phone. Since then, the company has expanded its customers nationwide.
The leaflet "Tiananmen Shines Light" was sold for 150,000 yuan. The transaction price reached three times the reserve price, which greatly exceeded Manager Fei's expectations.
This auction is no longer in vain, it is worth it!
Tang Qi was shocked. Unless she came to a place like this, she couldn't imagine how rich some of the people who "got rich first" were already! A small stamp was actually bid up by so many people as if it were money, and it finally reached a high price of 150,000 yuan!
This is too scary!
Next, the auction continued, and Manager Fei began to use some less valuable items to help everyone adjust their emotions and regain their rhythm.
When everyone's emotions were almost adjusted, Manager Fei said: "Thanks to the great help of an old friend for this auction, he brought out the exquisite products that he has collected for many years to cheer us up."
“The next is a small boutique prepared by this gentleman for me, eight individual Gengshen Monkey Tickets. The base price is not high, starting from 500 yuan. I hope more people will participate and experience it. Try the fun of auctioning. ""We divide the eight stamps into four groups, one, one, two, and four. Now we start with the first group of single sheets."
This is also an exquisite psychological design. The reduction and concentration of resources will inevitably lead to an increase in unit price, which not only creates a strong sense of urgency, but also triggers a strong desire to participate.
The reason is very simple. Those who didn't grab the first one will definitely join the first one in the second round. If they don't grab the first one again, it seems that they can also consider joining the auction of two in the third round.
It is also possible that those who participated in the two auctions but did not grab them will participate in the final chance of the fourth round to compete for four.
What most Canadians will ignore is that the competition for single sheets in the first two rounds will definitely make the auction price high. With the shortage of resources, the already high single price will be reduced in the subsequent centralized auction. Not only will it not fall back, but it will generate a larger premium.
As expected, Manager Fei’s trick worked quickly. The first leaflet sold for 3,000 yuan, followed closely by the second leaflet for 3,500 yuan. Price deal.
Not only Tang Qi, but also Jiang Wu became a little nervous, because he knew that these tickets were provided by Zhou Zhi.
Although the price of a single Gengshen monkey ticket in later generations was more than 15,000 yuan, the average price of 3,000 yuan sold in 1992 was indeed a bit high.
But this also illustrates the success of the auction model of Gongmei Mall from another aspect.
In addition to the headache bonus of the new transaction method of auction, the expansion of information channels also plays an important role.
After a lively operation, eight single monkey tickets were sold at an average price of 3,200 yuan.
In the blink of an eye, it was twenty-five thousand six hundred yuan!
Jiang Wu has always thought of himself as a person who is determined, noble-minded, and scornful of things outside of him, but now he can't help but be shocked when he sees Zhou Zhi easily get more than 20,000 yuan for a few monkey stamps.
This is a monthly allowance for more than a thousand soldiers. This is a small courtyard like the one where my father lives. This is the salary of my wife, a singer in the art troupe, for ten years!
I have heard about the stalls on Chunxi Road before. The news from my friend who has transferred to the industrial and commercial system is that it costs 5,000 yuan for a stall to be rented for a year.
This is his two-year allowance, which is scary enough, but I am not exaggerating. He can now win four!
Jiang Wu couldn't help turning his head to look at his wife, only to see Tang Qi turning to look at him, her eyes filled with disbelief and the excitement of discovering gossip stories about the wealth around her.
Tang Qi even carefully marked every collection that Zhou Zhi sent for auction and marked the auction price with a pen on the album in front of her. This was entrusted to her by Zhou Zhi.
At this time, there was a commotion in the exhibition hall. Many people had already stood up. Two female emcees in suits came out pushing a chest-high small platform with a plexiglass seat on it. There is a small square piece of paper sandwiched between a piece of plexiglass on the seat, which is exactly the sixteen consecutive Gengshen Monkey Tickets provided by Zhou Zhi.
Jiang Wu's heart began to beat unsatisfactorily again because he remembered what Manager Fei said the day before yesterday.
