How can I go back to the past?

Chapter 103 Return to the Auction House (7)

But if you drink normally, a few bottles of beer are like a piece of cake for one person. Li Le knows this very well!

The meal took more than an hour, and they drank three boxes of beer alone. Although Li Le drank more, it was still less than one box.

In other words, the seven girls drank more than two boxes, which means on average, each person drank nearly four bottles.

This situation probably happened because he knew Li Le was married and he didn't need to pretend anymore, so he just drank without restraint.

Li Le couldn't help but sigh, what a good pretense! It's not like they haven't drunk together before, but no one has ever had more than one bottle.

After dinner, Li Le went over to pay the bill, sent them back, and then took a taxi home.

When I got home, it was already past eight o'clock. I washed up, took a shower, changed into pajamas and went to the living room.

The living room now looks quite presentable. Li Le is particularly happy when he sees the antiques on the antique display shelf and the old wines on the wine rack.

"If I send a few more antiques to the auction house tomorrow, it should be almost done!" Li Le said to himself.

Li Le needs a large sum of money now. After knowing about Li Qingcheng's situation, Li Le plans to start a company.

An investment company. It takes more than just 300 or 200 million to start an investment company.

Of course, if it was just financial investment, so much money wouldn’t be needed, but Li Le also wanted to invest in industry, so he wouldn’t be able to do it without enough money.

Then there are those worthless bottles, jars, plates and bowls, which are not worth taking to auction houses or sending to antique shops.

After all, there are too many of them, so this gives Li Le a headache.

"Wait! I wonder if I can put it on an online auction?" After saying that, Li Le quickly took out his cell phone to check.

I didn't expect it to work, and it can be done on Taobao. You just have to pay a commission, and if the item is valuable, the commission can be negotiated.

Li Le took a look and found that, for example, for a second-hand car worth 50,000 yuan, the starting commission was 50 to 250 yuan.

That is, one thousandth to five thousandths.

The antique bottles and jars in Li Le's hands are worth more than one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand. If the negotiation is successful, perhaps one thousandth of the value can be negotiated out.

This is already a lot. For each item auctioned, you can receive a commission of one hundred to several hundred yuan.

This is much better than auctioning a used car, because a used car is a big item, while these antique bottles and jars are small items.

In fact, there is another advantage of online auctions, which is to hide these worthless antiques among the people.

With so many people in the country, there are always some who like antiques, but they just can't buy them or they are too expensive to buy.

The prices of Li Le’s antiques are affordable for many people, and most importantly, it will not have too much of an impact on the prices of the antiques.

The current situation is that most antiques are in the hands of a few people. Ordinary people have no way to buy them, and there is a high possibility that they will spend real money to buy a fake.

Li Le’s antiques are all real, but they are not valuable, which just meets everyone’s needs.

After thinking about it, Li Le started to register on Taobao. After passing, he could contact Taobao.

I just don’t know when it will be approved, but Li Le is not in a hurry. Anyway, he is not in a hurry to sell it.

After registering, Li Le clicked to apply, and then he just left it to himself and waited for notification.

Around half past ten, Li Le went to the bathroom to flush the toilet, and then went back to the room to rest.

The next morning, Li Le ate something and found a larger box to pack the antiques to be auctioned, including the painting by Zhang Daqian. There were eleven pieces in total, including the painting. The most valuable ones were of course the Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain, the Northern Song Dynasty Jun kiln plum vase, and the painting by Zhang Daqian.

The remaining eight pieces are all antiques that Uncle Guan calls fine pieces. Yes, they are fine pieces, not the small fine pieces mentioned before.

The small exquisite items that were auctioned before were worth several million each! I wonder how much this exquisite item can be sold for.

After everything was packed, Li Le left home and took a taxi to the auction house, Christie's.

Once you become familiar with a place, you don’t want to go anywhere else. Li Le doesn’t know whether other people are like this, but he is like this.

After arriving at the auction house, I went back to look for Mr. Liu.

"Mr. Li, what treasure did you bring this time?" Teacher Liu was very happy to see Li Le coming.

Yes, anyone who meets a client like Li Le will be happy because they can make money!

For example, the items that Li Le auctioned here last time, the auction house made about 20 million yuan, and Mr. Liu, who signed the order, could get 5% of it.

It may not seem like much, but it's still about a million! If I only take salary, it will take at least two years.

So everyone hopes to sign more orders and get commissions, but unfortunately, it is not so easy to sign orders.

Especially large orders are even more difficult to sign. Sometimes we may not even sign one in a year. There is no way because the auction house does not have only one appraiser.

There are not many big orders to begin with, and everyone wants to sign them, so you can imagine what will happen.

As for small orders, there are quite a few of them, and we can sign many of them every year, but they are useless! Orders of 100,000 or 80,000, or 300,000 or 200,000 yuan.

When it comes to them, there is not much money at all. Take a million-dollar bill for example! The auction house takes 5%, which is 50,000 yuan, and they take 5% of this 50,000 yuan, how much is it? 2,500 yuan.

"It is indeed a treasure, you should see it for yourself!" Li Le opened the box and placed it in front of Teacher Liu.

Because they were all wrapped, he couldn't see anything. Teacher Liu carefully picked up one and opened it.

When he saw the thing, Teacher Liu opened his mouth wide, looking incredulous.

"Yuan blue and white porcelain?" Teacher Liu looked at Li Le and asked.

"Yes, it's Yuan blue and white porcelain. Please take a look!"

"Oh! Okay." After Teacher Liu said that, he took out a magnifying glass and looked at it carefully.

And this is just the beginning. There will be more complicated identifications later, and a cross-identification will be done at the end.

Of course, the list still belongs to Teacher Liu. As for the appraisers who do cross-appraisal, they are just helping. Similarly, Teacher Liu will also appraise their lists.

The reason for this is to prevent fakes from entering the auction house.

When Teacher Liu finished identifying the last piece, he was a little incoherent. He was so surprised.

Eleven treasures! Three top-grade items, eight exquisite items. Now they all need to be signed by him. It would be strange if he wasn't excited.

Teacher Liu finished the identification and then did the cross identification. Teacher Liu asked the staff to invite other teachers over.

In just ten minutes, two elderly people in their sixties came in from outside.
