Live Broadcast: My Leisurely Life In A Mountain Village

Chapter 175 Christie's, Sotheby's, International Auctions Come! 【Part 5】

With a smile on his face, Chen Yang watched the surge in the number of online users in the live broadcast room and the explosive barrage.

And, the attitudes of those foreign netizens have changed dramatically.

All of this is as he expected.

They don't have the patience to see themselves wielding a knife against a piece of wood every day, not to mention that the wood piled up with sawdust is not good-looking at all.

But when the finished product is presented, even the pickiest spectators will give a thumbs up and say: Awesome!

"Excellent people must have an idiot by their side to set off, but if they are not talented, I am that idiot.

"God, was this man's hand ever kissed by God?"

"Able to write and perform martial arts, this Xia Guoren is too good, and it fits my view of choosing a mate."

[Thomas] tipped 1000 bamboos and left a message: Mr. Chen is amazing!

[Stray Cat] Rewarded 1 rocket, and left a message: Like Xia Guo's peak skills!

There were waves of tipping screens, and the tipping from home and abroad lasted for more than ten minutes before stopping.

And just when this wave of rewards just stopped...

[Sotheby's official] Reward 100 rockets, and leave a message: If Mr. Chen needs it, Sotheby's can auction this dragon sculpture on his behalf.

[Christie's official] tipped 101 rockets, and left a message: Mr. Chen, I can auction this dragon sculpture at the big auction venue in New York. I believe that buyers from many countries will favor it. 787. At the same time, it will also allow people from more countries to see Xia Guo's top skills!

"Hold the grass, is it really official?"

"Niu, Mr. Chen, the auction took the initiative to come to the door. It's the first time to see you. It's exciting."

"This is really a bit of a critique. If I remember correctly, these two auction houses don't auction ordinary things, right? In other words, this woodcarving by Mr. Chen is very valuable?"

[Drunk lying in the world]: Master Chen, if you really sell, just sell me directly and pay a tax. If you give it to them, you will have to deduct agency fees, which is not worthwhile.

[Jia Tianxia]: Don't speak indiscriminately, the auction can fetch a high price, how much money can you give?

Originally, Jia Tianxia revealed that he wanted to buy it, but seeing that the two auction houses were involved, he stopped mentioning it.

A work of art worth one million, the auction house can sell two million or even higher after publicity.

He wanted to buy it, but he also had a range in mind.

If it exceeds the limit, he will definitely not buy it, because he has not enough money yet.

Chen Yang was a little surprised, and immediately said: "You can private message me, I will contact you in a while.

If it can be sold at a high price, he will not keep it in his hand.

[Autumn]: Master Chen, five million, sell me.

"Wori, are all newcomers so fierce now?"

"Really? Just ask five million, and the average annual salary per person in the live broadcast room is tens of millions?"

[Autumn]: Master Chen, there is a handling fee for the auction, and the handling fee is not cheap. I guess it's only this much when you get it. If you agree, I'll go to you tonight and pay the money and deliver the goods.

Chen Yang said: "Let's talk about it after I contact the auction house first.

[Autumn]: Master Chen, I'm very sincere. If five million is too low for you, I can add another one million, but I can't afford more than this price. I sincerely want to buy it, and I am also an old fan of your live broadcast room, I watch every live broadcast of yours.

"Pfft~ Is this playing the emotional card?"

"This is moral kidnapping."

"Look at it every day? I really don't believe it, come, tell me how to dig bamboo shoots?"

"I also look at it every day. Can I ask Mr. Chen to give me the wood carving? If I don't give him, I'm not a human being?"

Chen Yang shook his head and said: "Let me talk to the auction house first, let's enjoy the dragon sculpture first, and I will call the auction house.

He turns and walks away.

There are only dragon sculptures in the shot.

[Autumn] He kept sighing in front of the camera, six million, that's a lot, I can earn some by myself.

"Wow woof~"

A pit bull raised in autumn barked suddenly.

Qiuqiu was upset, waved his hands and said, "Don't disturb me."

"Woo~"

Pitbull whimpered suddenly, Qiu looked at it strangely, this dog is not like this usually.

No matter how (bcdg) I yell, I always look like you are so cheap, why is it so abnormal today?

He took a look and found that Pitbull was staring at the live broadcast room on the computer, sobbing in horror, and kept walking back with his head down.

What's the situation?

After a while, he realized that he suddenly picked up the pit bull and put it in front of the camera.

As a result, the pit bull exploded immediately.

Writhing frantically in his arms trying to get down, bark bark barking non-stop.

Qiuqiu suddenly felt a little wet in his arms, looked down, and Nima actually peed on me!

"Woo~"

Pitbull broke away from him and jumped to his feet.

He looked at the camera and said with bright eyes: "This dog is afraid of woodcarving? Damn, this charm is too impressive!"

Chen Yang first contacted Sotheby's.

"Mr. Chen, Sotheby's is the auction house for the art series. If we are number two, no one can be number one."

"Where's Christie's?"

"Uh... well, I admit that what I said was a bit big, Christie's is about the same as us.

"However." The other party said: "We can provide you with more services. If you choose us, we will help you target publicity for at least half a year. In the second half of the year, Sotheby's will hold an international auction in Shanghai. We're going to put this work of art up for auction at that auction, and celebrities from all over the world will be there.

Chen Yang asked: "What about the starting price?"

"This requires us to inspect your work on the spot before we can give an approximate range. Based on what we saw in the live broadcast room, our experts gave an assessment of 3 million starting bids, and it is expected that the transaction will be between 8 million and 10 million. Of course, the premise is that there is no difference between the actual situation and what is seen in the live broadcast room."

Chen Yang doesn't need to worry about this, standing in front of the dragon sculpture will only make him more shocked.

"How much commission do you charge?"

"The international commission for art auctions is 12, if you are willing to let us do the auction, then we are willing to reduce the commission to 10."

"Okay, I'll contact you again."

"Mr. Chen, do you think the commission ratio is high? This can be negotiated."

"Don't worry, you can discuss more within your company, and contact me after you have the result. I will call Christie's now, hoping to understand."

"This... well, then I will contact you as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yang called Christie's again.

Shopping around is the last word. There are not only these two major international auction houses. As far as he knows, there are several good auction houses in China.

If they can't give him satisfactory conditions, he doesn't mind waiting for a while. .
