Chapter 19 Which auction house is better?
"Actually, we don't think so much now. Let's sell the stamps first." The compass couldn't bear to see Wang Xiaomu like this and said.
"I'm so excited that I think of the past. It's okay. I'll get used to it. What should I do with this stamp? I'll ask my second brother tomorrow. Their family sells antiques. Wang Xiaomu said with a self-deprecating smile.
"Well, I'm going to bed, too. I'm really tired today. I'm even more tired." Wang Xiaomu stretched out and said to the compass.
"Eh, go to bed." The compass only responded faintly and turned his head to continue to look at the scenery transformed by Wang Xiaomu's thoughts. After Wang Xiaomu disappeared from this world, the compass said leisurely, "You have to be strong quickly, because time is running out." It's just that Wang Xiaomu can't hear this passage.
At noon the next day, Wang Xiaomu was called up by his buddies in the dormitory. Looking at the food they made for themselves, Wang Xiaomu narrowed his sleepy eyes and said, "Brother, where did you find noodles? I remember that there was no noodle in the canteen in the morning."
"Xiaomu, you really can't help it. Look at what time it is now and it's still morning. You're a big-headed ghost." As the second brother Chen Yangzi said, he stuffed the lunch box into Wang Xiaomu's hand.
"Aa, is it noon? Why don't you call me?" Wang Xiaomu heard that it was noon now. He couldn't believe that he had slept for so long.
"Well, Xiaomu, were you really okay yesterday?" Li Dazhuang asked weakly behind Chen Yang.
"I'm really fine. Look, I look like a sick person?" After saying that, Wang Xiaomu bulged his arm and motioned everyone to look at the big muscles of pigeon eggs formed by bulging on his arms.
When the people in the dormitory watched Wang Xiaomu make an action that he could not do before, the first reaction was not to laugh, but to rush over and press Wang Xiaomu down, fix his hands and feet, and then stood in front of Wang Xiaomu and looked at him shaking his head.
"I see a doctor very easily." The eldest brother Qin Fei said slowly.
"Hm, I think so." The other two echoed.
Wang Xiaomu was tied into a big word by everyone and put it on **. Seeing that everyone didn't believe that he was fine, he shouted anxiously, "Brother, I know I'm wrong. I shouldn't have hit you last night. You have spared a small number of times." In Wang Xiaomu's view, there is only one way to pretend to be pitiful, so he said pitifully to the boss.
"Look, is everything wrong with this guy?" The boss Qin Fei kicked the ball to the other two people.
"I think he's fine. If anything happens, according to this guy's temper, he will lie down without saying a word **. But now that he is so lively, I'm sure he's all right. Li Dazhuang, the more kind third brother, said when he saw the pitiful Wang Xiaomu looking at him.
"It looks like it should be all right." The second brother Chen Yang also said.
Then everyone put Wang Xiaomu down and remembered that everyone shouted to Wang Xiaomu just now: "How can you do this?" He also made a twisted look. When everyone saw Wang Xiaomu deliberately pretending like this, they knew that he was fine.
"Xiao Mu, what's your plan? By the way, I'm going to take those clothes away. They will use the drama in the afternoon. If you haven't finished it, I'll tell them." Li Dazhuang said aside.
"Ye�, I've run out, I'll pay it back. Thank you, third brother. I'll fight with you for 50 rounds when I have time. As soon as Wang Xiaomu heard that the third brother was going to take away the clothes, he said in a hurry. He was afraid that these people would be aware of it, so he quickly blocked the third brother's mouth first.
"Ha ha, as long as you remember, just remember." Li Dazhuang just touched his head and said with a smile.
Wang Xiaomu folded his clothes carefully, and then put them into a bag and handed them to his second brother. He didn't dare to put the clothes next to him, because a person living in the 24th century always likes to wear things from the 1980s. Even if he is not sick, he will give others think he is sick, so he quickly returned them to the drama club, and at the same time, in order to put Get rid of the boss's questioning.
"Second brother, do you have a reputable auction house in Tianhai City?" Wang Xiaomu now raised his problem of looking for an auction house. Now he wants to buy stamps so that he can buy the old house with money.
"What do you ask the auction house for?" The second brother Chen Yang looked at Wang Xiaomu and asked.
"Well, I'm a little curious when I see the auction houses written in the novel. I haven't seen what the auction houses are like, but I just want to see it." As soon as Wang Xiaomu heard that his second brother asked him about looking for an auction house, the sweat in his palms came out. However, due to the experience of fooling the director in the 1980s, there was no flaw.
"Oh, well, there are many auction houses in Tianhai City now, but the good and bad are not the same. Just like if there is anything good in my family, I usually contact regular customers for trading. If it is too much involved, I will go to the auction house. The orders received by domestic auction houses are very small, generally less than 10 million yuan. If it is 10 million yuan, you must go to a large auction house, because the reputation of large auction houses is guaranteed, safe and confidential is the first. Chen Yang first told Wang Xiaomu about the market of domestic auction houses.
"So if I sell something more than 10 million yuan, I must find an auction house with a high reputation and a good safety factor?" Wang Xiaomu is now most concerned about how to find an auction house that is at the top in terms of confidentiality and security.
"If it's such a big order, most people will go to China, but I suggest that it's better to go to an international-level auction house than to have something worth 10 million yuan. Although the commission is a little expensive, the service is good. There is no need to say about security and confidentiality. After answering Wang Xiaomu's question, the second brother took a sip of water and looked at Wang Xiaomu.
"What kind of suitable thing to find? Where do people who are not short of money look for? Wang Xiaomu just wants to find the best auction house now. Where can he deal with the commission?
"Then go straight to Sotheby's auction house, which is one of the oldest auction houses in the world. Sotheby's proud to let customers around the world enjoy great works of art without restraint. At present, it can reach every corner of the global art market. It can be said to be the most comprehensive auction house. But a good auction house is doomed to a high commission. But if you have something that can bring the biggest publicity to their auction house, the commission will be less. After Chen Yang finished talking about the auction house, he looked at Wang Xiaomu and wanted to see something from Wang Xiaomu's face, but Wang Xiaomu's face had always been a poker face, and he couldn't see anything at all.
"It seems that your second brother is a little suspicious of you." At this time, the compass said this in Wang Xiaomu's noise.
"I know that he won't find out, because they know my family background. So I'm not afraid of their suspicion. Wang Xiaomu said calmly.
"Xiao Mu, do you want to do something?" When Chen Yang saw that Wang Xiaomu was not talking there, he said his doubts.
"Second brother, do you think I will have something to sell? There are only a few shabby things in my house. The last time you went to my house, you didn't see them. I just saw that the auction house was very mysterious when I was reading the novel, so I wanted to ask, you think too much. Taking a step back, even if I have something, I will definitely sell it to you first, because you are my second brother. Wang Xiaomu has the ability to fool people, which is to dispel Chen Yang's doubts.
"Yeah, your boy has changed since he was hit, so I'm going to get to know my little brother again now." After listening to what Wang Xiaomu said, Chen Yang thought about the current situation of Wang Xiaomu's family and the scene when he went to his house to play. He felt that Wang Xiaomu was not lying to himself, so he changed the topic.
When Wang Xiaomu saw that his second brother Chen Yang changed the topic, he couldn't help but be relieved. He was afraid that Chen Yang would ask questions and he would reveal the matter. Looking at Chen Yang, who was chatting with others, I thought that this second brother was not simple. It's not easy to grasp the key points from small problems.
"Oh, by the way, do we have a Sotheby's auction house in Tianhai City?" Wang Xiaomu hurriedly asked Chen Yang where the auction house was.
"We have it in Tianhai City. Just take a taxi when you go out. Taxis know the route." Chen Yang answered without replying, because in Chen Yang's heart, Wang Xiaomu was just curious about the auction house now, and he didn't know that Wang Xiaomu really went to auction things.
Wang Xiaomu got the answer he wanted. Knowing that there was an auction house branch in Tianhai City, he immediately wanted to go out and bring the stamps to the direct auction. But seeing so many people in the dormitory here, it's not easy to take out the stamps. Even if you take them out, there is no good excuse to go out to play. Because Wang Xiaomu is now a sick number, no one will worry about letting him go out alone.
"Xiaomu, don't worry, we all know the answer we want now. Why act so early? Now the main problem is how to go out, and then how to sell stamps. The compass is actually more anxious than anyone else, but it's useless to be anxious. If you don't have a chance to go out, you can't go to the auction house.
"Calculations, we now have 5 editions of stamps in our hands. It is estimated to be very valuable, because my existing information shows that it was sold at a sky-high price of 10 million yuan in 1997. What era do you think it is now? This price is estimated to be longer, which is not in our hands. This version is estimated to be the most complete version in existence, which is worthless to say. We have 4 versions of the monkey ticket, and the price of 1 million yuan was also sold at the latest auction, so we have to go to Sotheby's auction house to meet our needs. The compass calculated the value of their existing stamps and told Wang Xiaomu, waiting for Wang Xiaomu to make a decision whether to go to Sotheby's auction house or not.
