Chapter 840 [840] It’s so bright!

On the other side, at the Guangzhou branch of Sotheby's auction house, the atmosphere in the meeting room was not very harmonious.

William Smith, a director from the China headquarters, was speaking broken Chinese and yelling at everyone.

"I don't know how you do your job. Why did your performance in the second half of this year decline so severely? I need you to give an explanation."

All the senior executives of the Yangcheng branch kept silent and allowed him to scold them.

Seeing that no one spoke, William Smith immediately turned his head to look at Chen Qiushan who was sitting on his left.

"Chen, the reason you were transferred from Zhonghai to Yangcheng was to solve the problem of declining performance, but what have you been doing during this period? Why haven't I seen your results?"

Facing his questioning, Chen Qiushan knew he couldn't avoid it, so he had to speak carefully.

"Director Smith, please understand. Guangzhou is a small place after all, and there are not so many auction items. The head office has good things, so they send them to Hong Kong, and they never care about us. In order to get the auction items, I have to ask a friend for help, and I really can't give more..."

Smith didn't wait for him to finish and raised his hand to interrupt, "I don't want to hear these excuses, just tell me, what solution do you have?"

Chen Qiushan frowned. "The main reason for the decline in performance is that the auction house has recently been auctioning antiques, calligraphy and paintings. There is nothing new, so old customers are not willing to pay. If we want to solve this problem, we have to find something new."

Smith was not satisfied with his answer. "Did you find it?"

Chen Qiushan couldn't help but sneer, "How can it be that easy? The head office has always ignored our Yangcheng branch and only wants us to produce results..."

"Oh!"

Smith slammed the table and glared at him. "Don't push all the responsibility onto the head office. If everything depends on the head office, then what do I need you for? You might as well leave a few pigs here."

When the executives present heard what he said, their faces turned ugly, but they dared not say anything.

But Chen Qiushan would not tolerate his bad habits, and he also slammed the table and stood up, "If the head office is always so partial, putting all the good stuff in other branches for auction and ignoring us, then what do we need the head office for?"

His words immediately shocked everyone present. These words were tantamount to "rebellion" and were extremely treasonous.

Smith also stood up slowly and looked at Chen Qiushan coldly, "Chen, you'd better take back your words, otherwise I will report it to the head office truthfully. Do you know what the consequences will be?"

Chen Qiushan snorted coldly, "You can report however you want, this is what I said anyway."

"If you want me to solve the problem, fine, but you can't put all the blame on me and my subordinates."

Smith was about to say something else when there was a knock on the door of the conference room, and then Chen Qiushan's assistant poked his head in.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Ye called and asked you to go to the hospital. He has a batch of treasures that he wants to give to our auction house for auction."

Chen Qiushan nodded and said, "Okay, go arrange a car for me right away, and I'll be there soon."

Smith immediately stopped him, "Chen, our problem hasn't been solved yet, where are you going?"

Chen Qiushan suppressed his anger and looked at him, "Don't you want to solve the problem? Can't I go find someone who can help us solve the problem now?"

"If it weren't for my friend's help, the branch's performance would have been even worse."

Smith stared at him for a moment and said, "I'll go with you. I want to see what's so special about this friend you mentioned."

Chen Qiushan was too lazy to waste time talking to him. "If you want to come, I won't stop you. But my friend has a bad temper. If you dare to talk to him in the same tone as before, I guarantee that he won't kick you out."

After saying that, he walked out of the meeting room first.

Smith sneered and followed immediately. He was now very suspicious that Chen Qiushan was betraying his own company and deliberately took some good things that should have belonged to Sotheby's to other auction houses for auction in order to make a profit.

Perhaps his friend played a big role in this.

He followed them this time just to see what tricks the two of them were playing.

……

Ye Feng was chatting with Xu Jingxin in the ward about what happened last night.

At this moment, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, and then Chen Qiushan walked in quickly, "Brother Ye, why didn't you tell me that you were hospitalized?"

"If you hadn't called today, I wouldn't have known you were in the hospital."

Smith followed him in, and when he saw Ye Feng lying on the hospital bed, he became more contemptuous.

He is too young. This kind of young man probably hasn't even graduated from college yet. What good things can he come up with?

Chen Qiushan placed his hopes on this person, no wonder the branch's performance continued to decline.

Ye Feng immediately stood up to greet him, "Brother Chen, you are too polite. I am fine. In fact, I could have been discharged from the hospital a long time ago. I was just too lazy to move."

Chen Qiushan was immediately defeated by his reason, and then chatted with him for a few more words before getting to the point.

"You just told my assistant that you have a batch of treasures that you want to auction at our auction house? What kind of treasures are they?"

Ye Feng deliberately kept the question in suspense and did not answer him immediately. Instead, he winked at Xu Jingxin who was standing beside him.

When Xu Jingxin was in front of outsiders, she gave him face and immediately acted as his assistant.

Pull out a woven bag from under the bed.

Smith had some expectations at first, but after seeing the ugly woven bag, he no longer had any expectations.

He even felt like he was being toyed with and glared at Ye Feng hatefully.

Chen Qiushan did not show any disgust. He knew Ye Feng very well. If it was just an ordinary treasure, he would not let him come and get it in person.

Immediately unzip the zipper of the woven bag little by little.

Then, a pile of golden ingots gradually appeared in front of him.

He quickly closed his eyes and relaxed, then opened them again, his face full of disbelief.

This is really blinding!
In fact, gold ingots are not that rare.

Both Chen Qiushan and Smith were no longer surprised by this kind of thing.

But I can’t stand the huge volume!
The gold ingots they had seen before were all single, but in the tattered woven bag in front of them, there were a large pile of them, at least more than a hundred, just like cabbages.

This shocked them.

Smith was even more excited than Chen Qiushan. He rushed over and grabbed a gold ingot. He looked at it carefully and confirmed that it was undoubtedly the real thing.

"Oh, my god! It's all true? I can't believe my eyes."

When he looked at Ye Feng again, he no longer had the contempt in his eyes. Instead, he was full of curiosity. Where did this young man get so many gold ingots?
