Chapter 0656: It’s Better to Be Happy Alone Than to Be Happy Together

“Satisfied? Of course satisfied.”

Zhuang Rui at this time in his heart happy flowers, 1.2 million euros but to pay a lot of other fees, seven or eight added up, there are one or two hundred thousand euros, now the auction house side to be exempted, Zhuang Rui what reason not to be satisfied?

But this mind Zhuang Rui just think in his heart, and did not say out, but a face of color looking at Daniel, said: “As an individual, I have felt the sincerity of your bank, but you know, just now your behavior, is the damage to the feelings of all the Chinese community, I think, just to make compensation to me personally, this … … . isn’t it a bit inappropriate?”

“What?”

Zhuang Rui’s words heard Daniel almost spit out blood this time as well, dare this kid take advantage of himself not to mention that he actually wants to seek benefits for others, this is making fun of the auction house ah?

“Xiao Zhuang is right about this.”

“En, the auction house’s behavior is indeed hurting us.”

“Brother doesn’t lack this money, brother is just condemning you for this kind of behavior.”

“Hey, this young man is not bad, knowing that it is better to be happy alone than to be happy together.”

For a while, Richard and Daniel’s ears were ringing with all kinds of accents of English, all these words were naturally in favor of Zhuang Rui, which made the two of them look at each other, somewhat at a loss as to how to end the situation.

As an auction house, the profit they make is the commission after the collection is auctioned, if all of them are exempted, then wouldn’t they have to drink the northwest wind ah?

Of course, the auction house still had some other invisible incomes, such as the price floor that was negotiated with the owner beforehand, etc., but all of this was only possible under the premise that the auction could be carried out normally and the items could be auctioned out.

“Alright! For this auction, for all the items sold, we will always adjust the commission downward by five percentage points, as our most sincere apology to all of our friends, I don’t know if this is satisfactory to our friends?”

After Daniel and Richard bit their ears for a while, they finally made a decision, compared to the risk of the auction ending without a trace, although they would earn less this way, they would be able to carry on with the auction.

However, this time Daniel’s words were not asked to Zhuang Rui, he was afraid that Zhuang Rui’s mouth would spit out another unsatisfactory word, and asked directly to the Chinese collectors present.

“That’s fine, I can see the sincerity of your bank.” Ms. Zhang first nodded with her head in her jaw, if the stalemate continued, I’m afraid that the auction house’s side would really cancel this auction.

Generally the commission charged by the auction house, for the auction price of eight to fifteen percent, reduce off five percent, is considered a considerable amount, these people present although do not care about this amount of money, but to Zhuang Rui fought for the interests, or very satisfied.

“Good, we have arranged a banquet at noon, please be sure to enjoy yourselves, the auction will take place in the afternoon, everyone take a rest first, the chairman and I will take our leave first.”

Daniel saw that the matter was resolved and no longer wanted to stay here, after explaining a few words of scene, he pulled Richard out of the conference room, as they walked out the door, they heard the applause coming from inside, and their faces couldn’t help but become a little gloomy.

“Daniel, can ……”

Richard grimaced and gestured to his neck.

Everything that happened today was caused by Zhuang Rui, and this incident was estimated to bring at least millions of euros to the auction house, and it would also give the auction house’s reputation, a very bad impact.

As a well-known auction house with branches all over the world, Richard has undoubtedly dealt with all kinds of characters, international mercenaries, international thieves, and even international grave robbers.

Behind the capital, there is often bloodshed, for Richard and the auction house, vaporizing a person is not a very difficult thing to do, this is not the first time Richard has done such a thing.

“No, never, Richard, knock it off!”

Daniel was shocked by Richard’s words, if Zhuang Rui was a small person with no background, then forget about it, but from his information, it showed that he had an extremely deep background in China, in case he was found out by doing away with him, even the French and British governments would have no way to protect them.

“Shit!”

Richard annoyingly kicked on the trash bin by the elevator and said viciously, “Inform all branches that in the future, this Zhuang, is the most unwelcome guest of our auction house.”

Can not move Zhuang Rui, Richard can only use this method to vent the anger in his heart, hard to swallow this breath, Richard is very doubtful that he will suffocate.

Just this for Zhuang Rui, there is no deterrent, the world is not the only auction house, then again, if Zhuang Rui fancy the object they want to auction, even if it is not on the scene, it is also possible to entrust someone else to carry out a telephone auction, which is a very common behavior in the international auction house.

“Xiao Zhuang, thank you, thank you ……”

After Richard and Daniel left the conference room, Ms. Zhang led the applause, and everyone followed, the applause echoed in the conference room for a long time.

Although this was just a private business behavior, but it also rose the national prestige and gave face to the Chinese, all of this was brought by Zhuang Rui, he deserved these applause.

“I don’t dare, I don’t dare, Ms. Zhang, Mr. Liu, all the seniors in the antique house, the reason why the auction house side is bowing down is not that the kid has face, but it’s everyone’s credit, if there’s no support from everyone, I’m afraid that the kid would have already been swept away by the auction house, I have to thank everyone for that.”

Zhuang Rui stood up and bowed deeply to everyone in the arena, he was sincere this time, being able to make the auction house apologize publicly, Zhuang Rui felt that this trip was not a false one.

Ms. Zhang smiled and waved her hand, saying, “Let’s not talk about this, Xiao Zhuang, when there’s time, I’m going to Beijing to see your antique store, when that time comes, you have to introduce me to some good stuff ah!”

“Oh, Ms. Zhang, the things in my little store, definitely not into your eyes, but after a while, I’m going to run a private museum in Beijing, when it opens, if you have time, please visit and guide ah!”

After Zhuang Rui heard Ms. Zhang’s words, his heart moved, and he said the thing that he was going to open a private museum, these people present were all the top Chinese collectors both nationally and internationally, if they were willing to contribute, he wouldn’t worry about not having any exhibits in that museum.

“Oh? A private museum?”

Ms. Zhang froze for a moment, although there are many people who have opened private museums in China in the past few years, but they are all people who have been hanging around in the collection circle for many years and have a certain network and reputation, and Zhuang Rui is so young that he is going to open a private museum, which momentarily makes Ms. Zhang feel a bit stunned.

Not only Ms. Zhang, is the other people, after hearing Zhuang Rui words, also feel a little incredible, although the threshold of the private museum is not particularly high, but also not anyone can play.

Open a private museum, not only need a large number of rich collections, but also need a strong capital, to know, in the case of state-owned museums everywhere, and many are free to visit, the prospects of private museums, is not very much favored.

If a private museum charges, it will be scolded, but if it doesn’t charge, the maintenance of the collections in the museum, the salary expenses of the staff, including the land, water and electricity, all of these add up to a huge sum of money, and it’s not something that the average person can afford.

“Xiao Zhuang, why do you want to open a private museum? This is a thankless thing, right, what collection do you have now, share it with all of us!”

Liu heard Zhuang Rui’s words, also came to interest, a circle of people hula will be surrounded by Zhuang Rui in the middle, this young man is really let some people can not see through, are interested in Zhuang Rui increased.

“Oh, originally did not think so soon open museum, just some collections want to exchange with some foreign museums, so there must be a name. As for my private collection, is really not a lot, at that time but also rely on you seniors, reach out to help ah!”

Zhuang Rui did not go into detail about exchanging collections with the Yoshimi Museum, this thing has not yet been finalized, in case it doesn’t work out, this can be big talk, but taking this opportunity, Zhuang Rui would like to let these people donate some objects out.

“Ahem, Xiao Zhuang, you can go in front of us, we are here to shoot objects, you and foreign museums to exchange collections, the new generation is fearful ah! When your museum opens, I will definitely go and take a look.”

Mr. Liu smiled at Zhuang Rui patted on the shoulder, but is absolutely no mention of the donation of collections of things, for one thing, Zhuang Rui is too young, the museum can be opened into what kind of scale is still unknown, only by Zhuang Rui a sentence, these old foxes will not be out of it.

Don’t look at these big collectors will often give some of the official museum donations of cultural relics, and a donation are worth millions of cultural relics and antiques, but that’s a good thing to do, do such a thing, in terms of some other policies, will be subject to some of the care and preferential.

Just like certain enterprises, after donating how much charity money a year, can reasonably be exempted from some taxes by the local government, the reasoning is the same, these Chinese collectors present, in fact, there is no lack of people with this kind of mind, although this matter is said to make people feel a little bit of impure motives, but all are the truth.

“Definitely, definitely, when the time comes, all seniors must visit and guide ah!”

Zhuang Rui smiled and nodded his head in agreement, he also knew that empty promises were not supported by evidence, what would make others hand over objects worth hundreds or tens of millions of dollars to him?

Wait until his own museum opened, let others see the scale of the museum, and then raise the matter of borrowing the collection is not too late.
