Hong Kong, near Admiralty Square, Mong Kok,
Christie's Auction House——
As one of the most authoritative auction houses in Hong Kong, Christie's reputation is very loud in Hong Kong.
It can be said that one-third of all art auctions in Hong Kong are conducted and sold at Christie's.
At this moment, an auction is going on in Christie's auction house.
What was auctioned was a Russian work of art, to be precise, the collection of manuscript poems by the great Russian poet Pushkin - "Fairy Tale Poems".
Anyone who loves literature knows who Pushkin is. The great Russian writer has a life full of drama.
The manuscript auctions in this era are as intense as those in later generations.So the atmosphere became tense from the beginning of the auction.
The rich and nobles flocking from all over Hong Kong are all staring at this rare Russian writer's poem.
Therefore, the small auction hall was actually full of people.
Looking around, apart from some Hong Kong locals, there are also many blond and blue-eyed ghosts, sitting densely on the bidding seats, whispering to each other.
Facing the crowd of around three or four hundred bidders, Peter Chen, the person in charge of the Christie's auction house who was in charge of hosting the auction, was also nervous.
……
As an Englishman who has worked in Christie's auction house for many years, Peter Chen's original name is not Peter Chen, but after working in Hong Kong, he chose such a name in order to be highly integrated into the work here.
But in any case, Peter Chen’s work here is very successful, especially with the rise of the Hong Kong art auction market, Christie’s transaction volume in Hong Kong has even far surpassed that of Birmingham and Manchester in the UK, second only to the UK London and other cities.
Because of this, the London head office of Christie's auction company has decided that at the end of this year, if the auction results in Hong Kong can still rise steadily, then Peter Chen will be promoted and his salary will be raised to make him a role model for the auction house.
To put it bluntly, the auction house must set up a "model", a "model worker", and let all the employees of the chain auction houses learn from Peter Chen, and make great achievements for the company.
Chen Peter can be regarded as a caring person. Ever since he learned of the "inside information" of the head office, he has been working hard to show himself. He wants to improve his performance and let everyone know how good he is in Hong Kong.
But holding an auction is different from selling Dali pills on the street with big swords. You can only shout hard by yourself, and no one will support you.
After all, if you want to run an art auction, you must have someone to help you provide art and let you help you bid.
This is what caused Peter Chen a headache.
Although Hong Kong is an international metropolis, it is a small place after all. How can so many artworks be put up for auction?In the past, most of the artworks he handled were collected from mainland China, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia. Because the commissions he received from auctions here were less, they were handed over to his company for auction.
but now--
In order to improve performance, one or two works of art can't satisfy his appetite at all. What Chen Peter needs are many, large quantities of works of art that are enough to make him king in the auction world!
Just when Chen Peter was extremely distressed, a person appeared, to be precise, a savior appeared, and he was the big boss of Wanda Trading Company——Song Zhichao.
Chen Peter never thought in his life that he would be so grateful to someone at such an age, and he was still a young man under 20 years old.
Peter Chen could never forget the scene when he met Song Zhichao for the first time.
It was a rainy day, Peter Chen drove his car as usual, and rushed from his home to the auction house near Mong Kok.
Just as he got out of the car under the umbrella, locked the car door with his briefcase and turned around to walk towards the company gate, he saw two people waiting at the company gate at a glance.
A tall, bald man is holding a black business umbrella, under which is a young man in a white suit.
Chen Peter has never seen a young man who can wear a suit so handsomely and chicly.
How should I put it, the suit is different from the large double-breasted suits that are now all over the street, but a very unique and compact tight-fitting suit, so that the young man in front of him looks more upright and handsome.
At the first moment, Peter Chen thought that the other party was a movie or TV star, so he walked over without paying much attention.
Unexpectedly, when the young man saw him coming, he took the initiative to greet him and called out his name, "Mr. Chen Peter".
It was only then that Peter Chen realized that the other party was waiting here for him.
Next, the handsome young man invited Chen Peter to sit in a nearby coffee shop.
Peter Chen was also polite and followed.
In the coffee shop, two people sat down.
Chen Peter ordered a cup of "cappuccino", while the young man ordered a cup of black coffee.
The two stirred coffee, and the handsome young man introduced himself as Song Zhichao, the boss of Wanda Trading Company.
Peter Chen has always been busy with art auctions and his own work, and he is not very familiar with the rights and wrongs of Hong Kong, so after listening to Song Zhichao's self-introduction, he still looked confused.
It wasn't until Song Zhichao took the initiative to introduce that he had some unusual works of art in his hands and wanted Christie's auction house to help with the auction, that Chen Peter became a little interested in Song Zhichao.
However, this interest is only a little bit.
Because in Peter Chen's opinion, Song Zhichao was too young, and the so-called boss of Wanda Trading Company was probably just some deceitful rhetoric. Peter Chen had seen a lot of Hong Kong people like this.
Last time, there was a son-in-law who was said to be from a rich family in Hong Kong. His family ran a shop with a market value of several hundred million, and asked him to help auction a family heirloom.
In the end, Peter Chen found out after inquiring that the other party was the son of a grocery store owner in Temple Street, and their grocery store, let alone a few hundred million, was not worth even tens of thousands.
As for their family heirloom, it was a clay vat for pickling pickles dug out from the construction site. After identification, it would definitely not exceed the age of the Republic of China.
Because of this, the first time I met Peter Chen, I thought that Song Zhichao, like many Chinese, is a young man who likes to brag, what Wanda boss, is there such a young boss in Hong Kong?
However, out of politeness, Peter Chen politely asked Song Zhichao what kind of help he needed. If there were really good things for auction, he would give great support and assistance. Besides, the service tenet of their Christie’s auction company is "Two Hearts" - feel comfortable shooting and rest assured to buy!
Song Zhichao smiled and said, "As I said, there are some works of art that I hope you can help auction."
"I don't know how many works of art you have?" Peter Chen asked casually while sipping a coffee cup, having been in Hong Kong for so long, he could speak a few words of Cantonese.
Song Zhichao smiled slightly, "Not many, three hundred pieces!"
With a poof, Peter Chen almost spit out the coffee in his mouth in surprise.
Three hundred pieces?How can it be!
For Peter Chen, having handled so many auctions in Hong Kong, let alone [-] pieces, even [-] pieces would be a huge and grand auction, let alone [-] pieces?
From this moment on, Peter Chen had to look at this young man named Song Zhichao with admiration.
Busily tidied up his appearance, and corrected his attitude, turning the contempt just now into emphasis, and asked Song Zhichao in an almost proving tone: "Excuse me, is it true?"
Song Zhichao's answer was simple: "Yes!"
Just two words!
