The Local Lazy Man System

"Then please open it and let me see."

Ito Yukai said.

As the head of the appraisal section of the auction house, Ito Yukai himself is a top appraiser.

"it is good!"

Since it was put up for auction, it was natural for people to see the things. Ye Rongrong took the cloth away and spread the painting on the ground.

Anyway, it is not a national treasure of his own country, Ye Rongrong really doesn't care, and he doesn't feel bad if it gets dirty or damaged.

"this is……"

Ito Yumi glanced at it, and immediately stared at the boss, and said in disbelief: "This... this... am I dazzled?"

What did I see? I actually saw the stolen National Treasure of Eagle Country "Compare Alma-Tadema".

It was an oil painting created in 1892 by Lawrence Alma-Tadema, a secular decorator among Eagle Country Royal Academy painters.

It is one of the few national treasures in the Eagle Kingdom that belongs to its own country.

You must know that the Eagle Kingdom was once known as the "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets." It invaded many countries and stole national treasures of many countries during the First World War.

The Eagle Country National Museum has the most national treasures in the world, but there are very few national treasures that really belong to the Eagle Country itself. This "Comparing Alma Tadema" is one of the very famous national treasures.

Its loss is a huge loss to the Eagle Country, so much so that the Eagle Country government has no way to explain this matter to the people.

"This painting of yours is "Comparing Alma-Tadema" lost in the Eagle Kingdom?"

After recovering from the shock, Ito Yukai raised his head and stared at Ye Rongrong and asked.

Ito Yukai is really curious about how the "Comparison Alma-Tadema" in front of him was transported from the customs into Japan.

Is it smuggling, or...

"That's right, that 'Comparing Alma-Tadema'."

Ye Rongrong admitted generously.

Ye Rongrong is not afraid that the people from the "Yahai Auction House" will call the police. Before coming here, Ye Rongrong has already thought of many ways to leave the "Yahai Auction House".

Even if the stupid Japanese troops come over, they won't be able to trap him.

"Me, my Amaterasu, this is amazing, how did you get this "Comparing Alma Tadema"?"

Ito Yukai asked curiously.

"There is no comment on this!"

Ye Rongrong shook his head and said.

"I just want to ask if your auction house can auction this "Comparing Alma-Tadema"?"

Ye Rongrong looked at Ito Yukai and asked.

"this……"

Ito Yukai hesitated.

"If not, I'll change to another auction house!"

Ye Rongrong said, and began to sort out "Comparing Alma Tadema".

As long as there is a profit, Ye Rongrong does not believe that "Comparing Alma Tadema" will be auctioned without an auction house.

"No...no, Masuda-kun, you misunderstood. I didn't say that "Comparison Alma-Tadema" cannot be auctioned at Yahai Auction House!"

Ito Yukai said hurriedly.

Although "Comparing Alma Tadema" is a national treasure stolen from the Eagle Kingdom, does it have anything to do with his "Yahai Auction House"?

No!

Besides, Eagle Country is no longer the "Empire on which the sun never sets" as it used to be. To be honest, its overall strength is not as good as that of its own country.

There is no need to be afraid of it.

What's more, the Eagle Country government is still looking for this "Comparative Alma-Tadema" everywhere, and even offered a high price for information about the theft of "Comparative Alma-Tadema".

The purpose is not to catch the thief, but to redeem the Comp Alma-Tadema.

For Eagle Nation, this "Comparing Alma Tadema" is a face of Eagle Nation culture. If it cannot be retrieved, it will be a big shame, and this government of Eagle Nation will become a sinner.

Knowing that the "Yahai Auction House" is auctioning off the "Comparison Alma-Tadema", Eagle Country might not only not be angry, but also grateful to the "Yahai Auction House" for helping them find the national treasure.

I believe that when the time comes, the Eagle Country government will definitely buy back this painting "Comparing Alma Tadema" at any cost.

For "Yahai Auction House", this is a huge income.

"That's good. I hope that this "Comparing Alma Tadema" can be auctioned at the auction the day after tomorrow."

Ye Rongrong said.

Ye Rongrong didn't want to stay in this winter capital any longer, mainly because this winter capital was too tempting, young girls everywhere offered to send them to their door, of course they asked for money.

As a young man, Ye Rongrong would not have anything to do with these women, but physically and mentally, it was a kind of torment!

"Auction the day after tomorrow?"

Ito Yukai was stunned for a while, and continued: "Aren't you too anxious? This publicity must be a bit late. Why don't you put it in the next auction time? That way, the effect will be better."

"No, let's auction it at the auction the day after tomorrow!"

Ye Rongrong shook his head and said.

From Ye Rongrong's point of view, no matter when it is put up for auction, as long as the government of the Eagle Country knows, it will definitely auction off this "Comparison Alma Tadema" at any cost.

"Ok!"

Ito Yumi and Ye Rongrong insisted on auctioning this "Comparison with Alma-Tadema" the day after tomorrow, and he didn't say anything more.

After all, the employer has the final say on this matter.

"Masuda-kun, now let's talk about the commission."

"Our Yahai Auction House charges the consignor a fee of 2% of the hammer price, that is to say, no matter how much your "Comparing Alma-Tadema" sells for, our auction house will charge 2% of the hammer price. commission."

Ito Yukai said to Ye Rongrong.

The items auctioned by this auction house will charge commissions from both buyers and sellers, and the buyer will receive the bulk of the commissions.

"Yahai Auction House" collects commissions based on the final hammer price. For the buyer, it is charged in three levels: the first level is 25% of the rate, and the commission amount is set at 800,000 US dollars and below; the second level is 20% The fee rate is set between 800,000 and 15 million US dollars; the third tier is 12% rate and the amount is set above 15 million US dollars.

For example, if a buyer takes a lot with a hammer price of 600,000 US dollars, the commission to be paid to "Yahai Auction House" is 150,000 US dollars (60×25%=15).

For sellers, "Yahai Auction House" does not charge much commission, which is 2% of the hammer price.

"it is good!"

Ye Rongrong didn't have much opinion on the 2% commission.

"Because this "Comparing Alma-Tadema" is going to be auctioned in our auction house, this "Comparing Alma-Tadema" needs to be stored in our auction house. This is our auction house's regulations."

Ito Yukai said.

"Isn't that bad?"

Ye Rongrong said.

The main reason is that Ye Rongrong doesn't really trust stupid people today.

In case I lost my "Comparing Alma-Tadema", who would I turn to for reasoning?

The main reason is that Ye Rongrong's current identity is fake and cannot be exposed.

"Mr. Yitian, please rest assured that our Yahai Auction House is the largest auction house in Asia, and our reputation is unquestionable. Your deposit of "Comparing Alma Tadema" is our auction house, and we will follow up with you. You signed the contract."

"In case of loss or damage, our auction house will compensate according to the preset price."

Ito Yukai knew what Ye Rongrong was worried about, and this was also the worry of every owner who stored the treasure in the auction house.

As an old auction house with a history of hundreds of years, "Yahai Auction House" naturally has its system to reassure others.

"it is good!"

Since this Ito Yukai said so, Ye Rongrong also believed him for the time being.

If he deceived himself, Ye Rongrong would have a way to recover his losses.

"Please wait!"

Ito Yukai talked to Ye Rongrong, and explained to Jiujing Yingzi beside him.

About ten minutes later, several gray-haired old men entered the reception room.

"These are the appraisers of our auction house. They will appraise your "Comparing Alma-Tadema". When we sign the contract, we will use this appraised price."

Ito Yukai introduced Ye Rongrong.

"okay!"

Ye Rongrong nodded and said.

As long as everything is done according to the rules, Ye Rongrong has no objections.

Although Ye Rongrong hated these Japanese fools very much, and even hated them from the bottom of his heart, Ye Rongrong still had nothing to say about their rigorous work style.

Although these appraisers were surprised that this "Comparing Alma-Tadema" appeared in their own auction house, they quickly came back to their senses and carefully appraised this "Comparing Alma-Tadema". 》, after confirming that it was genuine, gave an evaluation price that satisfied Ye Rongrong.

"Masuda-kun, this painting "Comparing Alma-Tadema" is signed at an estimated price of 150 million U.S. dollars, do you have any objections?"

Ito Yukai said to Ye Rongrong.

The estimated price given by the auction house is generally the lowest selling price of the item. If the owner of the item does not request it, this estimated price is generally used as the starting price of the item.

Although this "Comparing Alma Tadema" is a national treasure of the Eagle Kingdom, it is not very outstanding among countless national treasure-level calligraphy and paintings in the world.

Its value is not comparable to that of Huaxia's "Nvshi Zhentu", and the estimated value of 150 million US dollars is not very low.

Of course, for Eagle Country, this "Comparing Alma Tadema" is one of the few national treasures belonging to its own country, and it is a historical witness of Eagle Country culture. For Eagle Country, this "Comparing Alma The significance of Tadema is enormous.

"no problem."

Ye Rongrong nodded and said.

Soon, "Yahai Auction House" signed a contract with Ye Rongrong. For the benefit of both parties, a lawyer from the law firm was invited as a third-party witness.

The contract was in triplicate, Ye Rongrong took one copy, and the other two were kept by "Yahai Auction House" and the lawyer's office.

After signing the contract, Ye Rongrong didn't stay at "Yahai Auction House" any longer and left.
