Chapter 63 Need More Sincerity

With the experience of his previous life as a reference, Xu Haibao undoubtedly had more initiative when negotiating with Sobifu's executive manager.As Xu Haibao said before, if you have a good product in your hand, you don't have to worry about finding a buyer.

For the major auction houses, in order to attract more high-quality and powerful buyers and draw more auction commissions, the auction houses also need to recruit more high-quality sources.The three lots in Xu Haibao's hands at the moment are undoubtedly rare boutiques.

As the consignor, the auction house can also earn a corresponding commission from Xu Haibao.The level of the rake rate naturally determines the income of the auction house, and also determines the income of Xu Haibao.

Some money should be earned by the auction house, so Xu Haibao naturally wouldn't say much.But Xu Haibao also knew that with his conditions for auctioning three pieces of high-quality porcelain at a time, he could negotiate with the auction house and get the most favorable percentage.

The appraiser who came with Tang Siming had already left, and the three lots that Xu Haibao brought for auction were also put back into the box and lockbox at this moment.This also means that the next negotiations will affect Xu Haibao's decision.

Among the many auction houses in Xiangjiang, besides Sobirich, there are several auction houses with the same influence.This also means that Su Bifu is not Xu Haibao's only choice, which Tang Siming also knows.

Taking Xu Haibao personally to a more luxuriously decorated VIP room, Xu Haibao, who refilled a cup of coffee, seemed not in a hurry.He knew that it was Tang Siming who was really anxious at the moment.

There are still a few executive managers like Tang Siming in Sobifu Auction House.If this business is missed, it will be Tang Siming who will suffer the real disaster.After all, these three lots are very rare, and I believe the price won't be low.

This also means that if the commissioned auction agreement can be signed, the auction house can also earn a lot of commission from buyers and sellers.As executive managers, this is also related to their performance and bonuses!
Seeing Xu Haibao drinking coffee with a calm face, Tang Siming sitting beside him also had a headache.From Xu Haibao's expression, it was not difficult for Tang Siming to see that if he wanted to win this business, he would inevitably need to talk a lot.

After making a decision in his heart, Tang Siming also smiled and said: "Judging from Mr. Xu's accent, he shouldn't be a native of Xiangjiang, right?"

"What? Does the auction house still pay attention to the background of the auctioneer? Manager Tang, I am a straightforward person. I believe that Manager Tang should know the value of these three items. They are rare masterpieces.

This time I came to Xiangjiang to deliver the auction, first of all I came to your auction house, because I have more confidence in your company's reputation and word of mouth.But Manager Tang should know that if these three items are sent to any auction house, they will be highly recommended, right?

Now I need your bank to make a valuation for my three auctions, and then tell your bank how much concession you can give in terms of commission.One thing that needs to be reminded is that there may be another commission like this next time.

Manager Tang should have seen earlier that the teapot I sent for auction should be a relatively rare Chenghua Doucai porcelain pot.In fact, besides the teapot, I also have a set of even more exquisite Doucai teacups.

It's just that I don't want to sell that set of teacups right now.I know that your auction house also has a more high-end autumn auction.If your bank wants to cooperate with me for a long time, I hope your bank can make me feel more sincerity in wanting to cooperate! "

Xu Haibao, who said these words, handed over a group of specially taken photos in order to increase his persuasiveness.Tang Siming stared straight at the set of four season teacups of 'Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter'.

As the executive manager of the auction house, Tang Siming is well aware of how rare this set of teacups is.What's more, apart from this set of teacups engraved with words and pictures, the other four teacups are also very dazzling.

If this set of eight cups is put up for auction, I believe it will explode the auction house.For tea set porcelain, it has always been sought after by rich Chinese.At least in Tang Siming's opinion, the price of this set of teacups will be higher than that of the teapot if it is auctioned.

Tang Siming thought of this, and quickly said: "Mr. Xu, please rest assured that our auction house will show 100% sincerity to a distinguished guest like you. It's just about the percentage. I need to ask our general manager for instructions."

"can!"

After getting Xu Haibao's approval, Tang Siming quickly went to ask the general manager of the auction house for instructions.Tang Siming also needs to try his best to make friends with a client like Xu Haibao who has a lot of treasures in order to win the business of placing an order.

After all, for many consignors, they don't change auction houses frequently.In order to gain more voice in the auction house, the executive manager also needs to have his own supply channels.And Xu Haibao undoubtedly has this qualification.

Xu Haibao didn't make Xu Haibao wait too long. When Tang Siming arrived at the VIP room again, he had already made corresponding valuations on the three photographed lots.Under normal circumstances, the final auction price will be higher than the estimated auction price.

Chenghua Doucai Straight Can, estimated at 800 million.Chenghua bucket color teapot, estimated at 500 million.Ming blue and white pot, estimated at 500 million.The final valuation of the three lots was 800 million Hong Kong dollars, which Xu Haibao still felt was a bit low.

But Xu Haibao knew very well that for the auction house, they would not overestimate the price of the lot.After the lot starts to be promoted, they will also re-evaluate the lot according to the attention of buyers.

In this way, when the auction starts, it can also ensure that the auction will not be unsold.But as far as the current market situation is concerned, the possibility of passing the auction of these three pieces of Ming Dynasty porcelain in good condition is not great.

After listening to Tang Siming's introduction, Xu Haibao nodded and said, "I personally agree with your bank's valuation. Can you talk about it now, what percentage of commission does your bank plan to charge for my auction?"

"Mr. Xu, according to international practice, we will give a corresponding commission rate based on the value of the items sent by the consignor. Since the three auction items of Mr. Xu are all exquisite, we can reduce the commission rate by one point!"

"Nine percent?"

"Yes, Mr. Xu should know that such a ratio is already very rare!"

"High! If you want to cooperate with me for a long time, I hope you will give a lower percentage. Although it is my first time to come to your bank, I know that your bank has signed lower commissions with some companies. Draw."

"Mr. Xu, as you said, for some companies, we do have a lower percentage. But for individuals, the [-]% percentage is really our limit. If it is lower, I'm afraid Difficult to explain to the company."

Facing the helpless expression on Tang Siming's face, Xu Haibao said unmoved: "Manager Tang, I am coming to Xiangjiang this time. In addition to selling some auction items, I also plan to set up a company engaged in island tourism development.

In addition, after this spring auction is over, I will also set up a company engaged in marine salvage.And in my hand, besides the things you see, I also have a batch of porcelain and gold and silver jewelry for sale.

It can be said that the commission you are giving me now is sincere to me personally.But if you want to cooperate with me for a long time, the commission ratio is too high.At least I can guarantee that when your bank needs auction items, I can provide high-quality auction items at any time.

Of course, the value of those lots may not be as good as the Chenghua Doucai teapot I brought.But I also have some large and small pieces of porcelain like Ming blue and white.If necessary, it can be offered to your bank for auction at any time. "

As soon as these words came out, Tang Siming gritted his teeth and realized that Xu Haibao might not be alone, but there might be a group of people behind him.And from Xu Haibao's words, it's not difficult to hear that the other party has the goods and the quantity is quite large.

Right now, the porcelain auction is undoubtedly the hottest auction item in major auction houses.Although the value of blue and white flowers in the Ming Dynasty is not as good as that in the Yuan Dynasty, they are still rare.This also means that if they want to cooperate with Xu Haibao for a long time, they need to show more sincerity.

Tang Siming, who had no choice but to ask for instructions, finally gave Xu Haibao a [-]% commission.This percentage is undoubtedly the limit that the auction house can give.To Tang Siming's long sigh of relief, Xu Haibao accepted it happily.

After all, for Xu Haibao, the [-]% given by Tang Siming before, he is actually very satisfied.Before he came to Xiangjiang, he knew that the auction house would take a percentage of the bidding bidders, which was usually in the range of ten to fifteen.

Striving for a few more points of profit concession now is equivalent to winning tens or even millions of benefits for yourself.In time, Xu Haibao believed that by virtue of this percentage, he would be able to gain more profits of his own.

Looking at Tang Siming with a bitter face, Xu Haibao said with a smile: "Manager Tang, I know that this percentage may make your bank find it difficult to accept. But I believe that you will be glad to cooperate with me in the future.

In view of your sincerity, I still have two small lots here, please ask Manager Tang to have them authenticated.Although the price is not as high as that of porcelain, I believe it is still very attractive to many buyers. "

Xu Haibao, who was talking, took out two flat boxes from the compartment of the password box under Tang Siming's expectant gaze.Seeing the gold and silver ingots inside, Tang Siming also knew that Xu Haibao was really not simple.

It is really irresistible to take out the auction items one after another.As Xu Haibao said, the value of gold and silver ingots may not be as good as those three lots, but not everyone who participated in the auction could spend tens of millions of dollars.

It is believed that gold and silver ingots made by the official treasury of the Ming Dynasty will also attract the interest of many middle and low-end collectors.To some extent, it will further increase the number of buyers and customers of the auction house!
