I looked at my father Jackie Chan in 1988

More than two o'clock in the afternoon.

Ji Sheng woke up from sleep, he washed himself up, and went downstairs to ask how the auction was going, but he couldn't find Master Cheng after searching and searching, only to find out that many customers left from Xiangjiang today Come over and sign up for their auction!

Generally speaking, the deadline for auction registration is before the end of the auction. For example, Ji Sheng and his auction will be held from October [-]th to October [-]th, so customers can sign up for the auction even on the [-]th day. .

In theory, this is true.

But in general large-scale auctions, the clients are basically determined before the auction starts, and there are very few people who join in the middle, not to say that there are no, but this kind of situation is rare.

Of course, those newcomers who have already started raising their hammers last night and today must not be able to participate in the auction. Even if they register, they can only participate in the auction after tomorrow. After all, they have to pay a deposit. Like, the procedure is very cumbersome.

When Ji Sheng heard what Luo Xiaohua said, he also became curious, and simply didn't even go to the small and medium-sized auctions in the afternoon, and went directly to the registration center, wanting to see how many newcomers there were.

It's okay if it's not over, but Ji Sheng was taken aback by the scene in front of him.

It was densely packed with people, including foreigners and Cantonese-speaking collectors.

Among them, Ji Sheng also met several top collectors, such as Mr. Ye Cheng from Xiangjiang in his 80s, Chen Tai, a big man in the Wanwan collection circle, and so on.

What the hell!

So many bosses?

Ji Sheng was really taken aback, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"Airport, hurry up and complete the registration procedures for Lin Bei to participate in tomorrow's auction, and Lin Bei will not miss you as a guarantee."

The guy who was signing up was a bit of a collector from the New Matai area with a lot of foul language.

Ji Sheng was so ashamed when he heard that, in Hokkien, Konggang probably means fuck you, fart, a modal particle, while Linbei means Laozi.

When he was speechless at the collector's rudeness, other collectors who had just rushed over to participate in the auction shouted.

"Hurry up!"

"With your speed, you won't be able to complete the registration procedures for me before night."

"That's right, what if it delays my participation in tomorrow's porcelain auction? Are you in charge?"

"I rushed over after attending Sotheby's auction yesterday. You guys are more efficient."

"Let those who will not be able to pay the deposit for a while to push back, and those of us who can afford the deposit will register first."

A group of people were shouting over there, as if they couldn't wait to participate in the auction.

Ji Sheng originally wanted to come forward and say a few words to keep everyone in order, but when he saw the anger of the crowd, the saliva almost sprayed on the face of Master Cheng, who was temporarily dragged to register for others, and he still didn't say anything in the end , I'm afraid that this group of people will know that they are the person in charge of this auction, and then spray the spit on their faces.

Without saying anything, he quietly turned and left.

About eight o'clock in the evening.

There is only one painting and calligraphy session tonight.

It has little to do with Ji Sheng.

He simply didn't watch much, thinking about going to check the registration status again.

As a result, as soon as I walked in, there were still many people going through the registration procedures.

This time he was spotted by the slightly more relaxed staff.

"Mr. Ji."

"Are you here?"

"Mr. Ji, good evening."

"Our auction last night was really against the sky!"

"Today's auctions are relatively small and medium-sized auctions. It is estimated that the turnover is not bad, but it is not as explosive as yesterday."

"Mr. Ji, please sit down for a while. We will register the new customers first. It has never happened that the auction week has already started and there are people who come to sign up. It caught us by surprise."

"Hey, you are Mr. Ji, the boss of Gujin Art Company? The 'Ancient and Modern Treasures' auction you held is very popular now, and it is being discussed in the collection circle all over the country. Many of us here participated in Sotheby's yesterday. I bought my favorite collection at the auction. No, I heard that you have a large number of Ming and Qing porcelain auctions here, so I rushed over. Mr. Ji, told me that the blue-and-white seawater red dragon pattern eight auspicious ruyi ear gourd bottle is in Which one? I've been starving for a long time."

"Yes, that porcelain should be second only to the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Crock Cup."

A large group of people said hello, in addition to the on-site staff, there were also many new customers.

Of course, Ji Sheng couldn't be rude to the clients, and responded to them one by one with a smile, revealing a few things that he could reveal, and the last pleasantries lasted for more than an hour.

Around ten o'clock in the evening, all the new customers have registered.

Perhaps it was getting late, and many new clients were preparing to participate in tomorrow's auction, so they left first.

After only one of us was left at the registration place, the on-site staff gathered together in twos and threes to chat.

Luo Xiaohua smiled and said: "It's too hot, we're famous this time!"

A female employee of Lu Zhengqing Company smiled and said: "Mr. Ji is really good. The turnover on the first day was [-] million. When this figure came out, it directly shocked our domestic collectors and auction industry. I guess they The eyeballs popped out, haha, not to mention how cool it is."

A male employee of Tian Liangping's company said: "Our auction, which no one is optimistic about, has reached the top of the autumn auction on the first day. Although the autumn auctions of giants such as Poly, Guardian and Christie's have not yet started, the first day is [-] Three hundred million, it is impossible for anyone to surpass it, I still feel a little unreal now!"

Everyone surrounded Ji Sheng beaming, the turnover was yesterday, but even though they were all internal employees, they only learned the news today, plus they were busy greeting new customers today, they have been holding back until now. They didn't brag about their achievements, and now they were free, and all of them immediately started bragging about themselves.

There are too many things to say in the hearts of the people, and too many things to marvel at. Now seeing Ji Sheng, the talk is beyond words for three days and three nights. It is impossible to describe it in any words. Perhaps there is only one word to describe their mood and excitement at the moment, which is incredible.

Ji Cheng smiled and said, "Are you still immersed in the joy of yesterday's victory?"

Master Qin said: "Of course!"

"Yeah, yeah." Luo Xiaohua said: "After knowing that we have compared Sotheby's on the first day, I have been refreshed all day, and this day seems like a dream!"

Ji Sheng was amused by them, "You can't do this. There will be big auctions every day starting tomorrow. If you keep getting excited like this, how can you devote yourself to work? Alright, I'll go back to my room to freshen up later. Get a good night's sleep, we will go to NO.13 tomorrow, we have to work hard every day, thank you for your hard work, I will treat you to a big meal when the auction is over."

"yeah!"

"Mr. Ji, you are the best!"

"We must do a good job!"

"What kind of dinner? I want to eat seafood!"

Hearing Ji Sheng said that he would treat everyone to a big meal, everyone became even more excited!

If the turnover on the first day is not high, or if it is just a certain target that raised the turnover, but the turnover rate is not very satisfactory, everyone must have no enthusiasm for work and can't get up the energy. After all, people need social approval. , needs its own value to be affirmed, and now, the first-day turnover of the "Ancient and Modern Treasures" auction topped domestic auctions this season, and even suppressed Sotheby's, the top international auctioneer. The members of the team, of course, are also full of energy. They are now the team with the largest turnover on the first day in the industry. Their energy is different. Ji Sheng doesn't need to say anything. Zhengqing and other bosses are all active and enthusiastic, and everyone wants to make the auction of "Ancient and Modern Treasures" a better result!

No. [-] in the industry in a single season!

They have never been so beautiful in their life!

Master Cheng spoke now, "Mr. Ji, have you had dinner yet?"

Ji Sheng looked over and said, "Eat, you're so busy that you haven't eaten yet, right? I asked the hotel to open a few tables for you to have a good meal. How many new customers are there today?"

Master Cheng laughed loudly and said, "I want to tell you if you don't ask."

"How much?" Ji Sheng asked with concern.

Master Cheng picked up the statistics from the list in his hand and said excitedly: "From noon today to now, we have registered more than 500 new customers, most of whom just participated in yesterday's Sotheby's auction. Collectors, of course, there are some who came here because they saw the news that we beat Sotheby's, and now the Internet is full of news about our victory over Sotheby's, even some people who don't play collections and are not in the auction industry , I know some of the situation more or less, and judging from today's posture, I guess that as long as we report an amazing record in the future, we may attract more customers to come to participate temporarily. In this way, We and Sotheby's are going up and down, maybe it is really possible to overwhelm each other in total turnover!"

Ji Sheng said in surprise: "There are more than 500 new customers? Are there so many? You didn't make a mistake in the statistics, did you?"

He didn't doubt anything, but really felt incredible.

Master Cheng laughed loudly and said, "I heard at noon that many new customers were coming to sign up for our auction, and I didn't believe it just like you." Then, he flicked the registration list in his hand, "No, Isn’t the list for today’s registration right here, 520 nine, I’m not talking nonsense with you.”

Ji Sheng nodded, "That's fine. Although it's more troublesome to maintain order if there are too many people, isn't our business just for customers? The more people participate, the higher the rate of starting a family, and the higher the number of transactions will be competed for. , it’s thanks to all of you.”

I don't know if I heard that more than 500 new customers came, or because I took a short nap in the afternoon, anyway, Ji Sheng's spirits are now extremely refreshed, let alone more than 500 new customers, even if it is another [-] He doesn't think there are too many, the most important thing is that many of these customers are people who have just participated in Sotheby's first-day auction. This is great news for Ji Sheng!

Originally, he thought it would be difficult to defeat Sotheby's, but with this group of new clients, he thought that the feat of defeating Sotheby's in this autumn auction might really come true!

Well, of course, it depends on the next few heavyweight auctions, especially the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup that Ji Sheng brought will play a decisive role.

Suddenly, the landline rang here.

Master Qin was relatively close, and answered the channel casually: "Hello, the list registration office of the Ancient and Modern Treasures Auction."

That was Lu Zhengqing's voice, "I'm Lu Zhengqing, have you seen Mr. Ji?"

Master Qin hurriedly said, "Boss Ji is here."

"Okay, let him come to meeting room No. [-]. We have something to discuss with him." Lu Zhengqing said with a smile in his tone, and he was in a very good mood when he heard it.

Master Qin hung up the phone, and conveyed the message to Ji Sheng, "Mr. Lu asked you to find him in meeting room No. [-]."

Ji Sheng hummed, "Okay, you guys go to eat first, and put it on my account."

"Thank you, Mr. Ji."

"Then we'll be polite."

"Haha, Mr. Ji will be slaughtered tonight."

Everyone was very excited.

Ji Sheng was so amused by them that he couldn't laugh or cry, of course he knew that these people were just talking, and it was impossible for him to really kill himself.

……

Take the elevator to meeting room [-].

Knock, knock on the door.

"Is it President Ji? Come in quickly."

Lu Zhengqing's voice came from inside.

Pushing open the door and entering, the five partners Lu Zhengqing, Niu Yuanzhong, Zou Qingqiu, Tian Liangping and Wu Hongyi are all there.

Ji Sheng smiled and said, "How many of you are looking for me?"

Lu Zhengqing quickly brought a chair, "Mr. Ji, sit down quickly."

Niu Yuanzhong next to him held a cup, "What would you like to drink?"

The attitude of several partners is not to mention how eager they are.

Ji Sheng was a little unaccustomed to their enthusiasm, and quickly said politely: "Don't be like this, I'll just pour some water and take a few sips myself."

"How can I let you pour the water yourself, I'll do it." Niu Yuanzhong insisted, and he personally poured a glass of water for Ji Sheng and handed it over.

Ji Sheng is sitting and drinking water.

Lu Zhengqing laughed beside him and said, "Although there were a few small and medium auctions today, they all achieved good results. The statistics just came out, and today we have achieved a turnover of [-] billion. Our turnover figures It has reached [-] million, Mr. Ji, this time it is all thanks to you. At the beginning you said that you used the challenge of Sotheby's as a gimmick and a marketing plan. We didn't quite agree with it. Now it seems that your decision is too big. By the way, who knew we had only started filming for two days, and achieved such an impressive record! Mr. Ji, you deserve a lot of credit!"

Ji Sheng said a few words modestly.

Wu Hongyi said: "What shall we do next? Tell us, we will all listen to you."

Ji Sheng put down his water glass, smacked his lips, and said, "The auction is going on normally like this... Oh, by the way, more than 500 customers came to sign up for the next auction today, and there may be a few more chairs on the other side of the venue." .”

"No problem." Tian Liangping agreed, and then he couldn't help but smiled bitterly: "I don't know if the first day and today are good, but I'm more worried now, even though we have become famous and let the outside world know that we The auction was a success, but the initial turnover figure is too beautiful. If there is no way to surpass it later, the reputation that has been so hard-won may be lost again. This is secondary, mainly because of the turnover. It’s real money, I’m worried about gains and losses now, and I’m really afraid that the next auction will not go well.”

Ji Sheng smiled, "Relax, our ultimate moves haven't been shot yet, what are you worried about?"

Lu Zhengqing said the same thing when he heard it, "Yes, Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup, Xuande Stove, blue and white seawater red color dragon pattern eight auspicious ear gourd bottles and other precious items haven't been auctioned yet, what are we worried about? The Chicken Cup is guaranteed Two or three million yuan, the Xuande furnace is a little bit close. After all, it is not a real Xuande furnace, and it may only be sold for 3000 to [-] million yuan, but the blue and white sea water red dragon pattern eight auspicious ear gourd bottle is expected to be sold like the Yuan blue and white. Hundreds of millions, after all, the valuation of this ear gourd bottle is much higher than Yuan blue and white."

Ji Sheng laughed loudly and said, "Then let's wait for the good news on the total turnover!"
