My water pool turned into a fish farm

Chapter 80 086

Just in the afternoon, at Sotheby's auction house, the appraisers had selected the last Autumn Auction, and the [-] pieces of precious art collection needed for the auction in early October.

Within half a month, two exhibitions were held, and customers were invited to visit and appreciate the auction items.And carry out publicity, hype the cultural heritage of these antiques, and raise the auction price.

The most precious lot this year is a blue and white piece of Yuan Dynasty, which is also in this auction, with an estimated price of at least hundreds of millions! JDZ blue and white character pots are rare in the world, and they are definitely worth the price.

However, it is not uncommon for auctions with a price of hundreds of millions to appear several times a year.Jiade has two pieces this year, and there is also a blue and white figure pot, which is about the same value.

This is embarrassing for Sotheby's. If the auction price is lower than the other party's, its reputation will be severely damaged.Even if you hire a babysitter to deliberately drive up the price, you must exceed Guardian.

Liu Ye, the person in charge of the publicity department, called the staff of the department to plan a publicity plan. If there was a slight mistake this time, he would have to go back to his hometown in Rongcheng, and it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in Xiangjiang.

Liu Ye felt a lot of pressure, and the Sotheby's autumn auction situation was not optimistic, especially the blue and white figure pot, which was one size smaller than the Guardian's auction, which was inherently deficient!
Although the gap is not big, it is very difficult to publicize. Customers feel that this thing is smaller and less valuable when they look at the data.

If the auction fails, the employer will definitely not think so, just say that the Doucai chicken bowl cup, such a small cup, can be photographed for hundreds of millions, there must be something wrong with your publicity!
The publicity effect is not good, he, the manager of the publicity department, must have done his job.Liu Ye summoned a dozen of his subordinates and asked them to think of a way to see if they had any different ideas from the past.

"How about we find a TV station and advertise?"

"No, no, it's useless to just watch the excitement. If you want to bid a high price at the auction, you have to find those local tyrants to grab it!"

"Nonsense, the point is that there are so many local tyrants, do you think they are free? I can see the cultural background!"

"..."

A group of people are talking in a hurry, still clichés, without any new ideas.Liu Ye feels that this time he is going to rush to the street, so he should think about it carefully and find a new job~~
Just when he was having a headache, there was a sudden knock on the door of the conference room, and then the assistant to the general manager came in and informed Liu Ye to go to the Appraisal Department immediately for the most important meeting.

He froze for a moment, did something happen?Hurry up and go to the identification department together, secretly speculating: Could it be that the damn vase is a fake?That's good~~
It's a pity that it's unrealistic. Sotheby's appraisers are all experts in the appraisal industry, and a bunch of experts, could they mistake a piece of porcelain?Maybe it was broken.
Thinking maliciously, Liu Ye quickly rushed to the third-floor office area of ​​the Appraisal Department. Together with the beautiful assistant, he walked into a testing office and was almost taken aback by the scene.

The company's general manager, director, department manager, and a lot of foreign old men were lying in front of the computer, studying some sculpture photos, excited like crazy.

When the general manager saw Liu Ye, he asked him to come over and take a look at the sculpture in this photo. If it is brought to an auction house, how should it be publicized to get the highest price?

"General manager, what's so special about this photo?"

Liu Ye was full of doubts and couldn't understand why they were so excited?The young general manager from England looked at him in surprise, as if he was watching SB.

"Fuck~ You don't know this sculpture? Yes, yes, it's normal if you don't know it. Let me tell you, this is a work of Michelangelo! Michelangelo!"

"Michelangelo? The three masters after the Renaissance, is Michelangelo who carved the statue of "David"?!"

Liu Ye was dumbfounded, and couldn't believe that someone would put such a precious work of art up for auction.He first wondered if it was a fake. Did these appraisers drill their eyes?
Who is Michelangelo?The most famous Italian sculptor of the entire Renaissance, more famous than Rodin!The works are all in the hands of museums and top collectors.

It's unscientific for one thing to appear for no reason!

"You don't need to be suspicious. Although you haven't seen the real thing, you can see from the photos that this sculpture was salvaged, so it's definitely not a fake!" The general manager replied confidently.

I received a few photos in the afternoon, which immediately attracted the attention of the appraiser. After all the experts appraised, I can see from the details of the carving, the overall style, and the corrosion effect.

There is no doubt that this is definitely a rare and authentic product!
It's hard to imagine how much sensation a piece of Michelangelo's sculpture will cause!Sotheby's will follow suit, and its indirect influence is incalculable.

Even if you don't make a penny, it's totally worth it to help your employer auction for free!The starting price is at least 3 million US dollars, and the transaction price may reach 3 times the starting price!

It depends on the effect of the publicity, so he asked Liu Ye to come over and ask about the hype plan.It must be carefully planned and fully prepared for the auction to ensure a sky-high price!
"General Manager, has the employer contacted you? You must find out what the other party's request is, as well as the origin of this sculpture. The identity must be legal."

"SHIT, it's just not yet. I sent more than a dozen emails and there is no response. The other party is trying to whet our appetite! We don't care about the origin of the lot, and the identity is even simpler!"

As long as it's not stolen goods, no matter where it comes from, the auction house has a way if the other party can send it to Xiangjiang. At worst, it can make up an identity for it, just fool it.

When Liu Ye heard it, he immediately felt relieved. Finally, he didn't need to deal with the blue and white figure pot. Isn't it easy to promote Michelangelo's sculpture?Just call and inform the local tyrant!

Does this kind of national treasure collection still need hype?

What a joke!The introduction in the history book is the best hype, the statue of David is publicity!
"General manager, we just need to issue a notice, and then hold two auction exhibitions, so that the local crude oil tycoons in the Middle East, and old European and American capital collectors can all come to participate in the auction."

"Haha~ That's right, I think so too!"

The two looked at each other and smiled. These local tyrants will definitely fight to the death. The followers of Jesus will never allow this sculpture to fall into the hands of pagans.

And the tyrants in the Middle East who are so rich must be happy to buy this precious sculpture, take it home and throw it in the warehouse!
"I suggest that this sculpture be added to the autumn auction as the finale auction item. The absolute core of this auction is this bronze sculpture by Michelangelo!"

"Of course, but first, we have to get in touch with the damned seller. There is no response yet. I bet the other party must be very laid back and deliberately make us anxious!"

"..." Liu Ye nodded helplessly, expressing his support.

They guessed right, Lin Hao was indeed leisurely, and only found a bunch of emails when he got home, all of which were Sotheby's urging reply messages, wanting to see other photos.

　Thank you, book friend, you, Maryane, for your reward!Thanks!
