Chapter 841 [841] Do you have a treasure bowl?
Chen Qiushan also stared at the gold ingots in a daze. "This... there must be at least more than a hundred of them, right? This is the first time I've seen so many gold ingots. It's really spectacular!"
Before he could finish his words, Xu Jingxin pulled out four similar woven bags from under the bed.
When Chen Qiushan saw this scene, he was immediately confused. Could it be that the remaining four woven bags also contained gold ingots? This was unlikely, right?
When he opened the four woven bags and saw the golden ingots inside, he fell down on the chair behind him and looked at Ye Feng in disbelief.
"Brother Ye, where did you get all these gold ingots? Do you have a treasure bowl?"
Ye Feng couldn't help but frowned when he heard his question, "Brother Chen, you should know the rules."
Chen Qiushan finally reacted and apologized hurriedly, "Brother Ye, I'm sorry, I was so shocked that I lost my mind. I'm sorry, sorry..."
According to the rules of this business, you cannot ask the seller about the origin of the items. What he did was considered a violation of the rules.
Smith had been thinking about how to take the credit for this achievement.
If we could get 500 gold ingots to Sotheby's auction house, it would be a great achievement.
Seeing that Chen Qiushan had accidentally offended Ye Feng, he suddenly felt happy. Isn't this the opportunity?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly pushed Chen Qiushan away and looked at Ye Feng with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Ye, I am William Smith, the director of Sotheby's China, and I am glad to meet you."
Ye Feng had noticed this guy a long time ago. He was dismissive of him when he first came in, but now he suddenly became enthusiastic after seeing the gold ingots. He is also a guy who will not do anything without benefits.
"Hello." He nodded indifferently.
"Manager Chen just said the wrong thing. I apologize to you on his behalf. I hope you don't take it to heart." Smith, as a leader, mediated on behalf of Chen Qiushan.
But Chen Qiushan didn't appreciate it at all. Given his relationship with Ye Feng, the other party would never get angry with him because of a word. This Smith was obviously meddling in other people's business.
With his experience, he could certainly see that Smith was probably trying to steal the credit from him.
But the other party is the leader after all, and even if he really wants to do so, he has no way to stop him.
Now it all depends on Ye Feng’s attitude. Whoever he is willing to give the gold ingots to will get the credit.
At this time, Ye Feng waved his hand at Smith indifferently, "If you say that, it means you don't understand the relationship between me and Brother Chen."
"Brother Chen helped me when I was still useless. Based on our friendship, do you think I would be angry with him?"
His words undoubtedly made his attitude clear to Smith: this time the credit goes to Chen Qiushan, and you can go wherever you want.
Chen Qiushan was immediately moved, and couldn't help but secretly exclaimed that he was lucky. He made friends with Ye Feng when he was still a nobody, and stayed with him through a series of events that followed. This was probably the wisest choice he had ever made in his life.
Smith's face really didn't look good, but he still suppressed his displeasure and continued, "I'm not too interested in the personal relationship between Mr. Ye and Manager Chen. But no matter what your relationship is, we must talk business as business, and we can't abuse personal feelings and do things that harm the interests of the company. Am I right, Manager Chen?"
Having said that, he turned his head and looked at Chen Qiushan.
Chen Qiushan's face suddenly darkened, "Smith, what do you mean by this?"
"You must explain clearly to me today, what have I done to harm the interests of the company?"
Smith waved his hands hurriedly, "I didn't say what you did, I just reminded you."
"When I looked through the financial expenditures of the past few months, I found that the price you gave Mr. Ye was basically the same as the final auction price. So what does our auction house make money from? Is it for love?"
Chen Qiushan immediately argued, "Because Mr. Ye's auction items are all top-notch, he only gave them to our auction house for auction because of my face."
"Although we didn't make any money from these lots, they did help attract customers. How can you say we did it out of love?"
Smith immediately sneered, "I don't want to argue with you about the past, but you can't do this anymore."
"We can accept these gold ingots, Mr. Ye, but we have to renegotiate the price."
As he said that, he turned his head and looked at Ye Feng, "I have two plans. As for which one to choose, it depends on what Mr. Ye wants."
Ye Feng looked at him calmly, "Tell me about it."
Smith slowly raised a finger and said, "The first option is that you send these gold ingots to us for auction. You can set the starting price, but our auction house will eventually take a 10% commission."
Ye Feng lowered his head and calculated that if each gold ingot was worth 110 million, then five hundred gold ingots would be worth 5.5 million. If he wanted to take a 10% commission, he would lose at least 5000 million.
Chen Qiushan, who was standing by, suddenly became anxious. "Smith, do you know what this means?"
He was not just thinking about Ye Feng, he was also thinking about the auction house.
If Ye Feng was offended, the auction house would undoubtedly lose a high-quality source of goods, which would be very disadvantageous in the long run.
This guy is really short-sighted.
