Chapter 842 [842] Mr. Ye’s opinion is the opinion of our Xu family
Smith seemed not to notice Chen Qiushan's expression and continued to stare at Ye Feng.
"The first plan may take a long time. You should understand that things are valuable because they are rare. If we take out so many gold ingots at once, the value will be greatly reduced. We must auction them in batches."
Ye Feng looked at him calmly, "How long will it take?"
Smith thought for a moment and gave an answer, "At least a year."
Ye Feng sneered and asked without comment, "What about the second one?"
Smith raised his second finger and said, "The second option is that we at Sotheby's will buy all your gold ingots at a price of 80 each. As for how to deal with them, that is our business. Mr. Ye, you can get the money right away."
After Ye Feng heard this, the sneer on his face became even stronger. "As far as I know, the value of this kind of gold ingot is at least 110 million. Are you taking me for a fool?"
If he really goes by the price he offered, he will lose at least 150 million. Is he being taken advantage of?
Smith, however, remained calm, "Mr. Ye, you should know that in the entire Nanyue Province, there is no other company that has the ability to accept so many gold ingots at one time except Sotheby's."
Ye Feng's eyes gradually darkened, "Are you threatening me?"
Chen Qiushan suddenly became anxious and hurriedly stepped out to ease the atmosphere, "Brother Ye, Mr. Smith didn't mean that..."
But Smith didn't appreciate his kindness at all and interrupted directly, "That's what I mean."
"Mr. Ye should be very clear about the power of Sotheby's. If you don't cooperate with us, I guarantee that other auction houses in Nanyue Province will not dare to accept your items."
When Ye Feng heard his undisguised threat, he immediately laughed in anger, "Really? Then let's make a bet and see if I can sell this batch of goods without your Sotheby's?"
Chen Qiushan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Smith didn't know, but he was very clear about Ye Feng's power.
At least in Zhonghai and Yangcheng, he already possessed absolute strength.
If we really fall out with him, Sotheby's will definitely be the one that suffers the most.
The lessons learned from Newton, Gao Junming and the Ye family are still vivid in our minds.
"Smith, I am the person in charge of the Yangcheng branch. You have no right to make the decision here." In his haste, he did not care whether the other party was a leader or not, and looked at him coldly.
Smith also looked at him coldly, "I now doubt very much whether you and him are secretly colluding and doing something that harms the interests of the company."
"You'd better keep silent now and wait for the investigation of the head office."
Chen Qiushan was completely furious. "I, Chen Qiushan, have a clear conscience and have never done anything to harm the company. How can you slander me so wantonly?"
"Whoever wants to be the head of the Nanyue branch can do it. I don't want to be the head of the Nanyue branch anymore!"
After he said this, Smith became a little panicked.
He was sent to Yangcheng by the head office this time just to investigate the reasons for the decline in performance, but he had no authority to interfere in the affairs here.
If Chen Qiushan, the branch manager, was forced to resign by him, it would be difficult for the head office to explain.
At the same time, he was also a little confused. What was so special about this young man named Ye?
Why would Chen Qiushan rather resign than offend him?
Just when he was puzzled, there was a knock on the door of the ward.
Xu Jingxin immediately went to open the door, and then saw two men standing outside. One of them was older, about sixty years old, with a square face and elegant temperament.
The other one was younger, probably in his thirties, and gave people a vulgar feeling, especially the look in his eyes when he saw her, which made her very disgusted.
"Hello, does Mr. Ye Feng live here?" the old man immediately asked respectfully.
"Yes, what do you want to see him about?" Xu Jingxin asked immediately.
Before the old man could answer, Ye Feng's voice came, "Looking for me? Let them in."
Xu Jingxin immediately stepped back and let the two of them in.
When Ye Feng saw these two people, he was stunned for a moment.
He didn't know the old man, but the younger one was Xu Daizi who had harassed him and Chen Xuan before.
Later, I was cheated by him at a land auction and never saw him again.
I wonder what these two people want from him suddenly today?
The old man just walked into the ward and was about to speak.
At this moment, Smith suddenly shouted in surprise: "Mr. Xu? Is it really you?"
The old man had no choice but to turn his head and look at him, with a hint of doubt on his face, "Who are you?"
He saw this foreigner in Ye Feng's ward and thought he had a good relationship with Ye Feng, so he didn't dare to neglect him.
Smith hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his hand, "Mr. Xu, don't you remember me? I'm William Smith. We met before at Boss Qin's party."
The old man tried to recall but couldn't remember. There were so many foreigners at that party, how could he remember them all?
Anyway, in his opinion, these foreigners all look the same, have similar names, and it is hard to tell who is who.
But since the other person had said this, he had no choice but to play dumb, "Oh, it's Mr. Smith, hello, hello, I didn't expect you and Mr. Ye are friends?"
Smith knew the strength of Mr. Xu, especially his great influence in Pengcheng.
Sotheby's was preparing to set up a branch in Pengcheng and needed a local bigwig like Mr. Xu to take care of them, so they were very respectful to him.
However, when he heard the old man's question, he just smiled awkwardly and said, "I can't say we are friends. I am discussing a business deal with Mr. Ye. But it seems that Mr. Ye has a lot of opinions about Sotheby's."
It can be heard that he is still somewhat dissatisfied with Ye Feng's attitude just now.
When the old man heard this, his smiling face suddenly darkened and he immediately pulled his hand back.
Obviously, he was afraid of being associated with him and causing Ye Feng's anger.
"We in the Xu family follow Mr. Ye's lead. Mr. Ye's opinions are the opinions of our Xu family."
When Smith heard what he said, his face suddenly changed.
