Chapter 130: Sold separately
The crowd automatically made way for them. When Mr. Tang saw Xu Youyou surrounded by people and the picture of Zeng Gong's letter, he couldn't help but speed up his movements on crutches.
After Mr. Tang approached, he immediately put on his reading glasses and carefully read the letter from Zeng Gong's family for a long time, with a look of surprise on his face.
"This is a letter written by Zeng Gong to his brother. Am I right?" the old gentleman asked Xu Youyou.
Xu Youyou nodded and said: "The old gentleman has sharp eyes and can see clearly."
Mr. Tang lowered his head and read it carefully for a long time. Under the eager gaze of many eyes around him, he expressed his judgment: "This letter is indeed a letter from Zeng Gong's family."
Mr. Tang, as a master of calligraphy and painting antiques, also loved Zeng Gong very much. His words were the final word.
Xu Youyou originally brought the Zeng family tree, but looking at this situation, it was no longer of use.
"Little girl, I like this letter very much. You can give me whatever price you want." A middle-aged man with a big belly said proactively.
Xu Youyou felt that the other person looked familiar. He seemed to be a well-known entrepreneur, but for a while he couldn't remember the other person's name.
Someone on the side didn't wait for Xu Youyou to answer, and rushed to accuse: "Old Liu, what you said is really weird. Once a collection of this level comes out, there are several parties bidding for it. How come it seems like you are the only buyer? You Don’t you take us seriously? ”
"Yes, we also want to collect treasures like this." Others agreed.
Old Liu said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I can't defeat you, then invite people from the Lin family to come and go through the bidding process."
Xu Youyou didn't know much about this small exchange meeting, but it was obvious that they attended it frequently, and they all talked about the process in a very clear and logical manner.
Not long after, someone invited Lin Yashu over.
"Today is really lively. There are Yongzheng pastel vases and Qianlong enamel bowls in the first hall, and here is a letter from Zeng Gong." Lin Yashu said with a smile.
Someone laughed and joked, saying: "Your Lin family's place is more lively than the spring auction in Hong Kong City. Otherwise, your Lin family might just switch to auctions."
Lin Yashu shook his head with a smile and said: "We, the Lin family, have no plans to enter the auction industry. Mr. Li, you should spare us."
When Lin Yashu was talking and laughing, he seemed to have a sense of being able to make the decision.
Xu Youyou was surprised. Lin Yashu was not very old. She looked definitely no more than thirty years old. People around her also respected her very much, guessing that she was probably a highly valued descendant in the Lin family.
Lin Yashu walked up to Xu Youyou under the guidance of others. After seeing that the owner of the letter was Xu Youyou, her face was full of surprise: "Miss Xu, you brought such a precious collection. I will give it to you." Your invitation letter was really sent to the right person.”
Lin Yashu originally sent the invitation letter to Xu Youyou with the intention of returning Shen Ju'an's favor. She wanted to help Shen Ju'an's friends learn more and make more friends in the circle.
But she never thought that Xu Youyou now brought Zeng Gong's letter, which would add extra luster to the Lin family's exchange meeting. Lin Yashu felt that she owed Xu Youyou for a moment.
Xu Youyou said with a smile: "Ms. Lin is overly praised. Thanks to Miss Lin's care and invitation, I naturally have to bring out my most precious collection."
The corners of Lin Yashu's lips curled up slightly. She thought that Xu Youyou was also interesting, so she responded with a smile: "Miss Xu is so flattering, don't worry, I will definitely help you find a suitable owner for this letter."< br>
The formal auction process is not simple. Before handing over the items, there will be a lot of appraisal work. Seeing that Lin Yashu didn't seem to have any intention of appraisal, Xu Youyou couldn't help but ask: "Ms. Lin, what is the bidding process? Is it necessary?" Will you give me something?”
Lin Yashu hurriedly shook his head and said: "We don't dare to help keep such an important collection, but the rules here are simpler than those at the auction house. If the buyer feels there is something wrong with the auction item, he can refuse the transaction and compensate the seller five million. "Yes." "If so." If the seller regrets not selling, the buyer will compensate the buyer. If the seller regrets before the auction is completed, the 5 million compensation will be used as tea expenses for the exchange meeting. Speaking of which, every exchange meeting Kindhearted people pay for the tea.”
"But if both the buyer and the seller agree with the transaction, they will settle the money and goods on the spot. Even if they feel something is wrong afterwards, they cannot entangle each other, let alone our Lin family."
Xu Youyou nodded. Although the Lin family was an antique family, it was not a real auction house after all. Xu Youyou was not at ease just handing over the things to the other party. This model, although they said they would always compensate, made both parties feel relieved.
After all, the Lin family does not deal with money or treasures, they are more like hosts bidding.
As for how to ensure that both parties to the transaction are willing to pay compensation, this all depends on the Lin family's reputation in the industry for many years. In other words, the Lin family dared to do this because they were sure that none of the people present would be willing to become a laughing stock in the industry for five million.
"Ms. Xu, if you are willing to let your collection participate in the auction, I can register it for you first. How about that?" Lin Yashu asked with a smile.
Xu Youyou nodded.
"Starting price?"
Xu Youyou said casually: "One hundred million."
Lin Ya's calligraphy hand paused slightly, and then said with a smile: "Zeng Gong's family letter really costs this price."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Xu Youyou just took a closer look at the familiar faces she met here. She didn't know these people in her previous life. She seemed to have seen them occasionally on TV or in magazines.
With these people here, the price of this collection cannot be lowered, so she has the confidence to set the starting price high.
Anyway, even if this group of people didn't buy it, given how much Lu Jingyao valued this letter from Zeng Gong's family, he would probably pay a high price to buy it.
After Lin Yashu completed the registration, he said: "Ms. Xu, after all the collections are registered later, someone will inform you of the auction order of the collections."
Lin Yashu was just about to say goodbye and leave, but Xu Youyou asked: "Can I register other categories of collections with you?"
Lin Yashu stopped.
Xu Youyou took out a cloth bag: "I also want to sell these silver coins."
Although most of the displays in this room are calligraphy and painting works, there are also many people who like to collect silver coins. After hearing this, they immediately came over with interest.
With just one glance, I saw the top silver dollar.
"Oh, it's still one tael from the household department. Little girl, you have a lot of stuff on hand."
Xu Youyou smiled and said nothing.
Lin Yashu said tactfully: "Ms. Xu, are you selling these silver coins individually or in packages? If they are sold individually, I can only register one or two of them in the household."
