Dong Xuebing parked his car by the roadside and alighted. He looked at the signboard in front of him. Yun De Auction House. Dong Xuebing was the one who came up with this name. Qu Yunxuan had wanted to name it as Bin Xuan Auction House. But Dong Xuebing felt it was too fancy and does not have the old-fashioned feel of an auction company. He also does not want to use his name, so he only used Qu Yunxuan's name and added a De.
Dong Xuebing smiled and showed the box in his hand. "Wild ginseng."
Dong Xuebing nodded. "Your boss is not here?"
Dong Xuebing understood this. No one wants to be responsible for nothing. "Alright. I will bring these things over. Let's set a time."
Teacher Feng calmed himself down and replied. "Of course. Our company does not only auction antiques. We can also auction famous wines, watches, and other precious items." Putting down the box in his hand, Teacher Feng opened the lid of another exquisite box. Immediately after, he sucked in a breath of cold air. It was another stalk of wild ginseng that was almost a hundred years old. From the looks of the anti-counterfeiting, it shouldn't be fake!
South 3rd Loop, Shilihe.
But how to sell it is a problem.
"I will give you my phone number. Call me when you arrive."
"Ok."
The Auction House has two floors, and the main entrance was open. The chandelier inside was still bright, and the doors were still open.
The person in charge was not surprised. In the past, packaging was not popular, and many wild ginseng were sold in a box. But now, people are more conscious of brands, and many people want to package wild ginseng for gifts. The person in charge had heard of this many times. "I can only tell you the details after I see the item. If you want to use our company's packaging and still want an anti-counterfeiting code, you will need to go through a series of tests. If there are any problems with the item, it will be hard for us to settle it. We need to be responsible to our customers."
After settling everything, Dong Xuebing drove to Beijing!
Dong Xuebing asked. "How is the item?"
Teacher Feng replied. "I will call someone to get it done."
Dong Xuebing agreed readily. "Alright. Prepare a set for me."
5 hours …
"Oh, how much does it cost to package a wild ginseng?"
There are lots of Antique markets and Auction companies here. Aunt Xuan's location is not far from Qiaodong.
Under the care of Dong Xuebing, Yu Meixia, and Yu Meixia, the 20 wild ginsengs were finally dried.
That's right. Dong Xuebing had dug out two stalks of 100 years old ginsengs. There were no certifications or certificates, and the place of origin was strange. If he were to charge 1 million RMB for each stalk, who would dare to buy it? Wild ginseng was processed in a proper factory. There were boxes, certificates, codes, and anti-counterfeiting labels. Only those with high-quality wild ginseng would be willing to buy it. His ginseng had no guarantee at all.
Dong Xuebing stood there and thought for a while. He returned to his car and took the two boxes of ginseng. He looked around as he walked into the car. Compared to the Hanhai Auction House in Liulichang, Yun De Auction House's renovations are slightly worse. This place used to be a pawnshop, and the renovations are still the same. This is also because Qu Yunxuan wants to save money.
"Wild ginseng? Please wait for a while. " The female staff looked at Dong Xuebing suspiciously and walked towards a middle-aged man who was drinking tea in the resting area. "Teacher Feng, can you help me take a look? It's wild ginseng. "
"Mr. Qu had returned in the afternoon and is busy with the exhibition. Ok. Please wait for a while. I will make a call."
Dong Xuebing nodded and went to Liang Chengpeng's office to apply for leave. But Chief Liang is not around. He heard that he had gone to the hospital to visit his mother. Dong Xuebing told Hu Silian that he will be returning to Beijing next Monday and asked for the keys to his Buick MPV. After that, he placed the wild ginseng into his car and asked Yu Meixia to look after the house. After that, he called his mother, Liu Dahai, and the rest.
A female staff walks up to Dong Xuebing. "Sir, can I …"
Dong Xuebing was walking around the city. He does not know where to go.
"This will depend on the year and grade. Let's talk when we meet." This was against the regulations, and the person in charge could not tell them the price over the phone.
The corridor upstairs was very narrow, and it was only enough for 3 people to walk side by side. Teacher Feng brought Dong Xuebing to a meeting room. "Can you show me the ginseng?" Today was Friday, and Dong Xuebing had his breakfast.
The wild ginseng is still in a semi-dry state and does not need to worry about it rotting. After that, Dong Xuebing thought about how to sell these wild ginseng. It will be a waste to sell all of them. Maybe he will need to use them in the future. He can eat them himself or give them as gifts. These wild ginseng are of high quality. That's why Dong Xuebing decided to sell the best 100 and 90 years old wild ginseng. The rest of the wild ginseng will not be worth as much as these two wild ginseng. Most of the wild ginseng's value is in these two wild ginseng. Dong Xuebing decided to sell the best 100 years old and 90 years old wild ginseng. The rest of the wild ginseng will not be worth as much as these two wild ginseng.
Teacher Feng paused for a while and said: "Let's go to the office upstairs."
Beijing, 7.05 pm.
Dong Xuebing smiled and did not say anything.
One hour … …
On the way to work, Dong Xuebing, who was sitting in his office, had an idea.
After Dong Xuebing arrived at the 3rd Ring Road, he decided to go to his and Aunt Xuan's company. It had been a while since the company opened, and he had not even seen the company. If Aunt Xuan was around, he could spend some time with her.
Dong Xuebing laughed: "I heard that tomorrow is the preview of your company's first auction. I think there is still time. Can you put these two wild ginseng up for auction? And participate in the auction the day after tomorrow? "
Dong Xuebing looked at Teacher Feng: "I wonder if these ginseng can be auctioned?"
Qu Yunxuan had called Dong Xuebing last night. The company's auction was about to start, and Dong Xuebing had to return to Beijing. That's right. If these wild ginseng could be packaged and turned into qualified products, then they would be able to participate in the first auction. These ginseng were worth more than 1 million RMB, and it would increase the company's reputation. Also, the commission from selling these ginseng would not go to others. This was killing two birds with one stone.
Dong Xuebing replied: "It's fine. The preview is considered an advertisement. We just need to place a few advertisements on the website."
Teacher Feng felt that this person was weird. His request was also weird. He could not make up his mind. "Alright. I will go and ask my boss first."
Teacher Feng pulled over one of the boxes and opened the lid. He looked at the transparent glass and was stunned. He looked at the certificate underneath. "… … 100 years old wild ginseng?!" Teacher Feng's heart was racing. He had seen many wild ginseng and had tried it once. But he had never seen a 100 years old wild ginseng before. He had only seen some pictures on the internet. He did not expect someone would really auction it!
Teacher Feng gave an objective evaluation, "It's hard to find even with a thousand taels of gold!"
Teacher Feng nodded and put down his cup. He looked at Dong Xuebing and asked: "How old is it?"
After signing the contract, Dong Xuebing left the two boxes of wild ginseng here. Dong Xuebing was satisfied with his company's service attitude, efficiency, and overall performance. But he did not tell Qu Yunxuan that he was coming to Beijing. He wanted to give her a surprise later.
Dong Xuebing switched on his PC and went online to search for wild ginseng processing factories. In the end, he found a reputable factory with a branch in Beijing. So, Dong Xuebing called the person in charge of this factory. "Hello, I have some wild ginseng here. I need your factory to package and label them. How much will it cost?"
Dong Xuebing placed the two boxes of wild ginseng on the table.
"This … …" Teacher Feng hesitated: "It might be too late."
10 hours … …
Dong Xuebing drove from the suburbs to the city. He looked at the backseat and saw many boxes of packaged wild ginseng. Those wild ginseng he brought from Yan Tai County were all in those boxes. Dong Xuebing had spent a lot of effort to package these wild ginseng. When he arrived in Beijing in the morning, he had brought these boxes to the person in charge of the processing factory. After a series of tests, these were real wild ginseng and not artificially bred. The person in charge was shocked when he saw Dong Xuebing taking out so many boxes of wild ginseng. He asked for 300,000 RMB for the packaging fees and bargained with Dong Xuebing. In the end, Dong Xuebing used a 30 years old wild ginseng to cover the cost. But he also knew that without the packaging, it would be hard for him to sell his wild ginseng.
Teacher Feng was in a good mood to handle these two valuable products. When he returned to his office, he smiled at Dong Xuebing. "Manager Qu, we will do as you say. These two boxes of wild ginseng will be auctioned tomorrow. Young man, we are in a rush. Should we sign the contract first?"
Teacher Feng knew Dong Xuebing was Yun De Auction House's biggest customer and did not dare to delay. He poured a cup of hot tea for Dong Xuebing before calling Qu Yunxuan. "Hello, Manager Qu. We have a customer who brought two wild ginseng … … These are not ordinary ginseng. They are 100 years old wild ginseng. You might not know the market value of wild ginseng now, but these two boxes can be sold for at least 2 million … … Yes, 10,000 RMB per gram … … Yes … … the customer wants to be auctioned tomorrow, and it is urgent … … Is the main item still the Hetian Jade Hairpin … … Ok. I understand. I will speak to him."
